The three snooty hellhounds looked scared by Bee's anger. They all knew better not to mess with Queen Bee, especially when she is angry and in kaiju form. Vikki and her cronies backed away, all gulping and not daring to insult Loona again. "If you all got a problem with Loona and her friends," said Bee before she grew into her kaiju size. "If you all pick on this girl again, then I will literally turn you all into candy corn!" Vikki and her pals still didn't say anything, for they were too scared to even say anything in reply. "Do you three understand me?"

Still not saying anything, Vikki, Ruffie and Ruffette nodded their heads rapidly, still afraid to utter a word to the Queen of Gluttony.

"Good." then the queen before changing back to her normal stature and crossing her arms like an angry and stern mother. "Now, all of you apologize to her before i rip your ears off."

The three snooty girls gulped and walked up to Loona before apologizing to her one at a time. "Meh, whatever." Loona rolled her eyes. Queen Bee used her fingers with her two right hands to tell Vikki and her friends "Begone". She then said: "now don't make me put you in this position again, or you will be uninvited to my parties permanently." by the look of the gesture. Immediately, the three female hellhounds ran away in total fear, not wanting to face any more ire from Beelzebub. Looking back at Loona, Bee smiled at her, but the female hellhound looked unfazed with her arms still crossed. "I didn't need your help."

Bee frowned. "Come on, Loona. She was trying to help you." Tex said.

Looking at Tex, Loona said "Ok, thank you." In a defeated voice.

"You are welcome, honey. So I guess we're friends now! So why don't we just get some ice cream together and have a good laugh over-l

"I'm not your friend, Bee." Loona flatly said. "But..." she let out a sigh. "But I'm not your enemy either."

Bee frowned at the response, but she understood the kind of internal pain the poor hellhound went through in her childhood. The Queen of Gluttony had to be content with this decision.

"I'm... neutral when it comes to you." Loona added. "So I can at least tolerate you"

"I understand, Loona. But I want you to know that if you ever need me as a friend, then I will be up for it."

The female hellhound didn't say anything in that response but blinked two times. "Well, come on Cody. "Let's get back to the palace."

"OK, Loona." Watching the human boy and her adopted sister head back to the palace, Tex looked at Bee in concern.

"At least we know what her deal is now." Said Tex.

"I'm sure things will be fine between me and her." Bee smiled, though deep down, she was feeling a little unsure, considering how rude Loona was to her at the party before. But perhaps she can count on Cody since she liked him a good deal.


Having some pasta with marinara for dinner, Cody was enjoying this night when he felt his phone ringing and wiped his lips with a napkin before picking it up. "Hello?" He said. "Oh hi Ned. What's going on?"

"Hey Cody. I have a favor I want to ask you, buddy."

"Yes?"

"Me and my wife are going out to Cafe Cristo for our ten year anniversary of our marriage."

"Cafe Cristo? That place gets a ton of reservations."

"luckily for me and Margaret, my cousin is good friends with the manager of the place and was more than happy to give me and Margaret a reservation, though it's still around three hundred dollars."

"That's expensive."

"And the restaurant called that a cheap offer? Pfft, cheap offer, my ass. But anyway, I was wondering if you can watch Ned tomorrow night."

"Watch Ned?"

"Yeah, he really likes you and he looks up to you like a role model."

"True."

"So you can come over to our house tomorrow and keep an eye out while me and Margaret have our anniversary dinner at Cafe Cristo."

"Maybe Loona can help me with him too."

"Sure, sure, as long as she doesn't eat the couch or raid the whole fridge."

"Come on, I doubt Loona would do that." Cody scoffed. Although, knowing here. He has seen how mean and choleric she can be at her workplace. Picking on Moxxie and randomly punching Blitzo just to let out her anger. He thought it if was a good idea to have Loona help him babysit Ned while his parents have their anniversary honeymoon or not. Loona can be a little unpredictable, almost like an African buffalo: one that can get really destructive if angered enough.

"Well ok. So stop by our house tomorrow night, bring Loona with you and be sure to bring some toys to play with him."

"Got it. By Brian."

"See you tomorrow, buddy." Cody hung up and looked a little nervous about this idea.

"Who was that?" Asked Loona

"Brian. One of my neighbors before moving down here. He wants me to look after Ned."

"Who?" Loona didn't remember at first. "Ah, right, the little shit that looks up to you and called Moxxie's head big." She smirked, remembering the funny moment at the African restaurant before.

"Yeah. His parents are going on a honeymoon dinner and Brian asked me to look out for him, at his house."

"Huh. Cute." Loona said. "But you might need my help."

"You sure you want to help?"

"Dude, you're still a nine year old boy. You can't possibly take care of a tot by yourself."

"True. But I'm worried you might..."

"Might what?"

"Go fucking ballistic and eat the kid?" Said Moxxie, who was watching tv with Millie and Tex in the apartment.

"Stay out of this, Fatty!" Loona barked. "Who in the right mind would do that?"

"Well you have been known to... act out sometimes." Millie said.
