The scene opens in I.M.P.'s office as Millie is feeding Minnie her bottle. Blitzo and Moxxie were out on a mission, while the others were doing their own thing.
Millie: *Minnie finishes her bottle* Wow, someone's hungry.
She holds Minnie and pats her back, and Minnie suddenly burps out a small burst of fire that starts to burn the carpet. Lisa calmly puts the fire out as Minnie giggles.
Millie: *giggles* Yer definitely a Wrath baby. *kisses Minnie's cheek as Minnie laughs*
A portal opens as Blitzo and Moxxie step out, the former dragging a bloody body bag.
Blitzo: We're back, bitches!
Seeing that Blitzo and Moxxie were back, Minnie gasps excitedly and reaches out to them as she babbles.
Blitzo: *smiles* Awww. Min's happy to see us?
Moxxie: Er, actually, sir, I think she's happy to see me.
Blitzo's smile drops into a flat annoyed frown as Millie walks up to Moxxie with Minnie, sharing a tender kiss with him. Lincoln snickers at Blitzo.
Millie: How'd the mission go, boys?
Blitzo: *smiles again* Oh, fantastic. *playfully slaps Moxxie's back* Moxxie sniped this fucker right between the eyes.
Lola: And you brought the body back to Hell why?
Moxxie: Client's request. He was gonna bring it to Cannibal Town to give to the Overlord there.
?: *off-screen* That's right.
Everyone turns to find the client himself, the last of the Zodiacs: Clyde McBride, entering the office.
Ronnie Anne, Lana, Lola and Lisa: *surprised* Clyde?
Lincoln took a second, then remembered seeing Clyde in the mental link of the Zodiacs during the incident at D.H.O.R.K.S.
Lincoln: *surprised* Oh, hey. Clyde McBride, right?
Clyde: *nods* That's me. *points at the others* You're some of the other Zodiacs, right? Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, Lana, Lola and Lisa?
Lincoln: Yep. That's us.
Clyde: Nice. *approaches the body bag* So, he's dead?
Blitzo: Yep, sure fucking is.
Lana: What was the reason he needed to be killed again?
Clyde: A new resident of Cannibal Town was ranting about how this asshole got her killed because he didn't keep his mouth shut, leading to the cops gunning her down. So Rosie asked me to have you guys kill him just to calm her down.
Lola: *snorts* What a baby.
Lana: *deadpan* Says the girl who mauled a judge at her paegent just because he didn't give you a 10.
Lola: *snarls and flips her off* Fuck off!
Clyde takes a peek inside the body bag, then nods in conformation.
Clyde: *smiles* Wow, you guys really do a great job killing. That resident's gonna love this. *pulls out a big bag of money* I'm sure this will suffice as a payment.
Lincoln: *takes it* That's more than enough. Thanks for doing business with us, Clyde.
Clyde: *picks up the body bag over his shoulder* And thank you for killing him. Well, I better get the body back to Cannibal Town... hopefully without the other cannibals tearing into him before the new resident gets him.
With that, Clyde takes his leave with the body.
Blitzo: *satisfied* Nice work, I.M.P.! Another fucking successful job! *he and Moxxie share a hi-five*
Lana: *notices at Millie and Minnie are gone* Uh, where did Millie and Minnie go?
Lincoln: *now everyone notices* That... is a good question.
Cut to I.M.P.'s break room. Millie was sitting on the floor on one side, and Minnie was on the other, sucking her thumb. Millie giggles at her daughter, as the baby Imp then looks at her with her adorable eyes.
Millie: Sweetie, come to mama.
Minnie simply tilts her head at Millie with a curious coo before crawling over with giggles.
Millie: *as Minnie crawls into her lap* … Not quite what I meant.
She picks Minnie up, and the baby is still giggling.
Millie: *stares for a moment, then chuckles* Ah, still fuckin' adorable. *kisses Minnie's cheek*
Lincoln: *off-screen* There you two are. *Millie and Minnie to see Lincoln entering* What's got Minnie all giggly?
Millie: *Lincoln kneels down and extends out a finger, which Minnie grabs* Oh, nothin' much. I was tryin' to get your baby sister to learn how to walk is all.
Lincoln: And lemme guess, she crawled instead?
Millie: *nods* Yeah, she did.
Lincoln: *chuckles as his finger tickles Minnie's chin, who laughs* No surprise there. I mean, she's just learning after all. *picks up Minnie from Millie's lap* How bout I help out?
Millie: *smiles* I'd appreciate it, hun.
Minnie babbles as she baps Lincoln's cheek with her cute hands.
Millie: Aw, look! Your sister agrees.
Lincoln: *chuckles* I can't say no to a face that fucking adorable. *playfully pinches Minnie's cheek*
Minnie laughs, before Lincoln sits down.
Lincoln: Okay, Minnie. You may not understand this yet, but we're gonna help you take your first big steps of life.
Minnie tilts her head with a curious coo.
Lincoln: *chuckles a little* See, it's like this. *holds Minnie into a position where she's "standing"*
Minnie looks down at her little feet, cooing curiously.
Lincoln: Like that.
He slowly pulls his hands back, but Minnie loses her balance and falls. Lincoln quickly moves his tail and catches Minnie before her face hits the floor.
Lincoln: Whoa, gotcha!
Minnie giggles as she nuzzles Lincoln's tail.
Millie: *smiles* Well, it's a start.
Lincoln: Let's try again. Only this time...
Lincoln holds Minnie into the same position again, but this time holds one of her tiny hands with his left.
Lincoln: There, so you don't fall.
He pats her head with his other hand.
Minnie: *tilts her head* Ah?
Lincoln: Alright, now slowly and steadily, take a simple step. Like this.
Minnie watches her big brother as Lincoln slowly takes a step forward.
Lincoln: Now you try.
Minnie looks down at her little feet and babbles a bit as she slowly starts to move her right foot.
Millie: *starting to grin* That's it...
It was wobbly at first, but Minnie manages to plant her right foot in front, though she nearly fell over.
Lincoln: *still holding Minnie's hand* I gotcha, Minnie.
Minnie looks up at her big brother, and he smiles at her, ensuring he's got her. Minnie looks back down at her feet as she then starts to move her left foot.
Lincoln: Just like that, Minnie.
Now looking determined, Minnie takes another wobbly step, then another, and another.
Lincoln: *he and Millie smile* Now you got it!
Moxxie: *enters the break room* Hey, son. Did you find- *sees Minnie taking her first steps, which makes him gasp* Is Minnie-?!
Lincoln: *nods* Yup.
That's when Lincoln secretly lets go of Minnie's hand. Minnie takes more and more steps, giggling as she does, not noticing that Lincoln had let go.
Millie: Atta girl, Minnie!
Minnie then walks up to the wall of the room and stops herself with her tiny hands. She coos as she stares at the wall, wondering why it stopped her.
Lincoln: *chuckles as Mille giggles* Over here, Minnie.
Minnie turns around, finally noticing that her brother let go of her.
Millie: Walk to us, sweetie! Do what you just did, but to us!
Minnie smiles and proceeds to waddle back to her family. Lincoln takes out his phone and starts to record his baby sister walking for the first time.
Moxxie: *kneels down, proudly smiling* Look at that! She's really walking!
Minnie gets closer and almost stumbles, but keeps her balance, and makes it to her family, flopping into Moxxie's lap as she giggles.
Millie: *applauds with a big grin* Yay! She did it!
Lincoln: *lowers his phone, smiling* And I got it all on camera.
Moxxie lifts Minnie up high with a chuckle as she laughs, enjoying how high she was being held.
Minnie: *laughing* Dada!
The three of them suddenly freeze with wide eyes as the break room falls into dead silence, aside from Minnie's laughing.
Moxxie: *slowly lowers Minnie down as she stops laughing, looking up at Moxxie* Minnie... did you just...?
Minnie: *smiles* Dada! *hugs Moxxie*
Millie: *wide eyed* ... Linc, were you still recordin'?
Lincoln: *wide eyed* Yes.
Moxxie's eyes start to sparkle with tears forming.
Moxxie: *feeling very joyful* Awww... your first word was "dada"! *happily hugs Minnie back as tears trickle down his cheeks*
Minnie: *giggles* Dada.
Ronnie Anne: *she and the others walk on-screen and notice them* Oh, there you guys are.
Lana: *notices Moxxie has tears in his eyes* Did we miss something?
Millie: *smiles* Yeah! Minnie took her first steps AND said her first word!
Lola: *upset* Aw, what?! We missed all that?!
Lincoln: Don't worry, Lola. I got it all on camera.
Minnie: *wipes away Moxxie's tears with her fingers* Dada.
Lisa: Seems her first word was "Dada".
Blitzo: Fuck! I've been trying for WEEKS to get her to say my name as her first word! *Ronnie Anne smacks the back of his head* OW!
Ronnie Anne: Stop stroking your own ego for once, dumbass.
The intercom in the break room's ceiling turns on.
Loona: *on speaker* Hey. New client in the office. Everyone move your asses. *intercom turns off*
Millie: *surprised* Wait, when did we get an intercom?
Lisa: Lana and I installed it a few days ago. *she and Lana fistbump*
Blitzo: *rubs the back of his head* Alright, you all heard Loonie.
Everyone leaves the break room.
It cuts to the office where the employees are standing behind I.M.P.'s latest client as Loona texts away on her phone, per usual. Blitzo sits at his desk to address the client.
Blitzo: Welcome to I.M.P.! Name's Blitzo, the "o" is silent. Who or what do you need killed?
We see the client is a humanoid woman with dark gray and teal skin, with smoke for legs, tiger-like claws and a tail, multiple teal colored eyes on her head and neck, and a long ponytail that turns into a scorpion's stinger.
Jazmyne: My name is Jazmyne, and I need you to kill my lying husband, Aiden, and the crime family he's associated with.
Lola: What'd he do that resulted in you getting sent down here?
Jazmyne: *clenches her fist as she walks to the window* I came from a rather wealthy family, and wanted nothing more than to see the world. But my father said I had to be married in order to do so, and I thought my problems were solved when Aiden came into the picture. *scoffs* But I was too blind to see his lies. The crime family he was associated with, led by a crime boss known simply as "The Gin", lent him all kinds of cars and money to seem rich and a suitable match in my father's eyes. But when Aiden and I were married... I found out he only married me to take my fortune and split it with The Gin... after taking me out of the picture by unleashing a starved tiger on me.
Her scorpion stinger aggressively twitches at the memory, but she calms herself and faces I.M.P.
Jazmyne: That's why I need you to kill Aiden and that fucking crime family. I don't care how it's done, just fucking kill them!
Blitzo: *nods* Consider it done, miss. *glances at Lincoln and M'n'M* Linc, I'm sending you, Mox and Mil on this mish.
Moxxie: *nods* We're on it, sir!
Lincoln: *hands Minnie to Ronnie Anne* Ronnie, can you and the others watch Minnie while we're gone?
Ronnie Anne: Sure thing, sweetie. *holds Minnie up and smiles* We're gonna have fun, right, Minnie?
Minnie giggles and puts her hand on Ronnie Anne's nose, making the Hellhound chuckle.
It fades to a full moon in the night sky of the human world. Now it pans down to a luxurious mansion. Just behind the large mansion gates, a portal opens up, and Lincoln and his parents step out from it.
Lincoln: *glances at the mansion* This looks like the place our client described.
Millie notices something on the wall and quickly pulls her husband and son out of sight.
Moxxie: What?
Millie shushes him and points to the top of the wall. They look and see cameras on the top of the walls.
Lincoln: *quietly* Oh shit. Good call.
Millie: *quietly* How are we gonna get in?
Lincoln glances at the ground that goes under the mansion fence.
Lincoln: *quietly* Maybe the answer is going under.
Putting his Hellhound skills to work, Lincoln digs a hole in the ground and goes under the fence and ends up on the other side of the fence. Moxxie and Millie leap into the hole and come out behind him.
Lincoln: *quietly* We're in. *spots what's up ahead* But we're not out of the woods just yet.
Zoom out to show searchlights roaming around the area up to the mansion's entrance. The three of them quickly dive out of the way of a searchlight, as it passes by where they were. They sneak along the wall and end up next to the mansion, then peek into a window.
Moxxie: *sees how glamorous the hallway looks* Fancy...
Millie: *spots someone approaching* Duck!
The trio duck out of sight as a man with a white tuxedo walks through with two gangsters armed with shotguns behind him.
Lincoln: *the trio peek back up, staying out of sight* You think that's Aiden or The Gin?
Millie: *spots a ruined painting on the wall that shows the man with Jazmyne, in her human form, on their wedding day* Definitely Aiden.
Moxxie: We should follow suit.
Millie: *spots a vent near the roof of the mansion* Over there. *turns to Lincoln* Linc, gimme a boost, will ya?
Lincoln gives Millie a boost as she climbs up to the vent, then removes the cover and squeezes through the vent. Lincoln then helps Moxxie up as he follows his wife, while Lincoln looks around for an entrance he can fit in without drawing attention.
Lincoln: Hrm... *spots some basement doors* Ah, perfect.
Lincoln darts over to the cellar and glances around to see if anyone spotted him before jumping inside.
Cut to inside the vents as Millie and Moxxie crawl through, looking down the vent covers to look for Aiden or anyone else.
Now cut to Lincoln darting across the hiding spots of the basement as he approaches the door leading into the mansion.
Lincoln: *draws out his knife as he narrows his eyes* Let's infiltrate… *opens the door and rushes inside as it snaps to black*
It fades back to I.M.P. moments after the family left for the mission. Minnie is sitting on the floor as a hand comes on-screen and boops her on the nose. She giggles, as it's revealed Lola was the one who booped her nose.
Lola: *smiling* Like that, cutie?
Minnie giggles even more before she starts to babbling something.
Minnie: *after a moment of babbling* ...Wowa.
Lola gasps as her eyes widen.
Lola: D-Did you just... ?! *picks Minnie up* Did you just say your second word?! *happy* And it was "Lola"?!
Minnie: *smiling* Wowa.
Full of happiness, Lola shouts with joy as she tosses Minnie into the air, the baby laughing as she falls back into Lola's arms. Lana watches from the break table while sipping a drink.
Lana: *frowning* Lucky…
Ronnie Anne walks into the room.
Ronnie Anne: So what'd I miss?
Lola: Minnie's second word!
Minnie: *coos* Wowa.
Ronnie Anne: *smiles* Cute. *picks Minnie up* This keeps up, she might be speaking full sentences in no time.
Minnie giggles as Ronnie Anne tickles her belly.
Minnie: *coos* Ah, babababa. *covers her eyes*
Lana: *finishes her drink* I think Minnie's up for a game. *burps*
Ronnie Anne: *grins* And I think I know what it is.
Cut to Ronnie Anne facing a hallway wall while covering her eyes.
Ronnie Anne: 4... 5... 6...
Yep. Minnie wants to play hide-n-seek.
Minnie babbles excitedly as she crawls down the hall, disappearing around a bend.
Ronnie Anne: 8... 9... 10! *turns around* Here I come, Min!
Ronnie Anne starts walking around, looking for the baby Imp.
Ronnie Anne: *singsong voice* Where are you, Minnie?
Cut to I.M.P.'s office where Loona is texting away on her phone as usual. The grimoire portal was still open next to her as she either forgot about it or didn't bother to close it. Minnie crawls into the office with giggles. Loona doesn't seem to notice Minnie entering. Minnie notices the portal and coos curiously as she crawls towards it. Ronnie Anne then peeks into the office.
Ronnie Anne: *singsong* Oh Minnie? Where are- *spots Minnie approaching the portal, much to her shock* Wait, Minnie! DON'T GO THERE!
Ronnie Anne makes a diving launch for Minnie, but she misses the baby by a hair as Minnie excitedly jumps into the portal and disappears into it. Ronnie Anne stares in shock, but it slowly turns to rage as a menacing purple aura surrounds her.
Cut to outside I.M.P.'s building.
Ronnie Anne: *inside* LOONAAAAAAAAA! *the whole building shakes as a few windows crack*
Cut back to the office as the sound of smashing is heard. Blitzo and the other employees burst inside.
Blitzo: What the hell's goin' on in here?!
Behind shot from the others: Ronnie Anne is furiously pinning Loona to a damaged wall with her hands tightly gripping her throat.
Blitzo: LOONY! Get the fuck off of her, Ronnie! *about to run in*
Ronnie Anne turns to Blitzo with a furious, almost feral growl. Blitzo immediately backs up and hides behind the other employees.
Ronnie Anne: *turns back to Loona* YOU STUPID, FUCKING, LAZY FAILURE BITCH! FIRST VIA, NOW MINNIE?! PUT THE FUCKING PHONE DOWN AND STOP BEING A LAZY SHITHEAD!
Lana: Ronnie, what the hell's going on?!
Ronnie Anne: *shoves Loona against the wall and faces them* MINNIE'S GONE INTO THE PORTAL TO THE LIVING WORLD BECAUSE *tightens her grip on Loona's throat* THIS STUPID BITCH DIDN'T BOTHER TO CLOSE THE FUCKING PORTAL!
Lana and Lola gasp in horror as Blitzo facepalms hard.
Blitzo: *under his breath* Goddamn it, Loony...
Lisa: *gives Blitzo a look of disapproval* Why is she your bookkeeper again?
Blitzo: *gives Lisa a look* Zip it.
Ronnie Anne suddenly grunts in pain and goes crashing into the twins. Cut to Loona rubbing her throat while growling in irritation.
Lisa: *glares at Loona* You have no right to be angry, Loona. Your actions, or lack thereof, have resulted in Lincoln's younger sister possibly being subjected to danger. Should anything happen to her... *grabs Loona by the collar and glares into her eyes* ... it will be your fault.
Lola: *takes the Grimoire* I think from now on, Loona's banned from using the book. *glares* She's proven twice that she can't be trusted to watch or use it.
Lana: *glares* Yeah. It was bad enough you failed to stop Via, but now this? That's a new low, Loona. Even for you.
Loona: *shoves Lisa off her* Then quit bitchin' and just go after her. *takes out her phone and goes back to texting like nothing even happened*
Ronnie Anne: *sits up in irritation* Seriously?!
Blitzo: *finally speaks up* All of you, SHUT UP! Bitchin' at my Loony's not solving anything! *faces the employees* Just, you guys make sure to bring Min back safe, okay? I'll give Loony a talkdown. *under his breath* Somehow.
Ronnie Anne: Fine! But first!
Ronnie Anne snatches Loona's phone.
Loona: Hey!
Ronnie Anne crushes the phone in her hand, dropping the pieces on the desk.
Ronnie Anne: *grabs Loona by the throat again* If a single hair on Minnie's head is hurt, you're going to EAT the broken pieces of your phone after I bash your skull in!
Ronnie Anne throws Loona down as she, the twins, and Lisa jump into the portal, which closes behind them. Loona sits up, but instead of looking angry, she looked quite stunned as she stared at the broken pieces of her phone.*
Blitzo: *concerned* You alright, Loony? *no response, which worries him* ...Loony?
Loona: I... *stands up with a sigh* I'm going to get a new phone. *walks out*
Blitzo: *knows that something's wrong with her, but he lets it slide* ...Alright.
Cut back to the living world, around the same location Lincoln and his parents had arrived in. Minnie was crawling through the trees surrounding the mansion, cooing in amazement at seeing the new environment.
That's when gunfire is heard as she looks at the mansion, babbling in curiosity as she stands up, then walking towards it.
Minnie: Ah?
Thanks to her small size, she squeezes through the gates and waddles over to the doors. Pan over to the portal as Ronnie Anne, the twins and Lisa hop out as the portal closes.
Lisa: *looks around* We have arrived at our target's destination.
Ronnie Anne: *looks around, worried* Where the fuck could she have gone?!
Lana: *looks ahead and gasps* Look!
They look and see a small set of footprints leading to the mansion.
Lana: She went this way!
Lisa: *stops the group* Hold it.
Lola: *frowns* Why?!
Lisa points at the security cameras on the top of the walls. Ronnie Anne just scoffs, pulls out her gun, and shoots down both security cameras, destroying them both. She then kicks the gate open.
Ronnie Anne: I'm not wasting time!
She rushes on ahead, shooting down the searchlights as well.
Lana: *she and Lola are stunned* … Yeah, Ronnie's gonna be a very protective mom.
Lola: No kidding.
The three of them follow behind.
The scene changes back to Hell, where Loona, in Pentagram City, walks out of a store with a new phone. Thankfully, she avoided one from VoxTech. Sighing, Loona puts her new phone in her pocket and walks off.
Unknown Demon: Loona?
Loona looks back and sees a dalmatian-like Hellhound girl. Loona recognizes her as one of VIkki's friends from Beelzebub's party.
Loona: *scoffs* Fuck off.
Ruffette: *crosses her arms* Still as bitchy as ever.
Loona: *flips her off* I said fuck off.
Ruffette: Maybe I would, but I saw the chaos that happened in the phone store, and seeing you not snap in anger at anyone in there is kinda concerning. I'm starting to think this whole "I hate everyone" thing you got going on is fake.
Loona: *gets in Ruffette's face* Don't fucking act like you know me, bitch! Because you don't!
Ruffette: Really? Because I just saw someone that looks like they're having a mid-life crisis. It seems like... I don't know... you might need someone to talk to.
Loona: *scoffs* Oh, so now you're going to act like you give a shit about me? You think after how you and your friends treated me at Bee's party, I'm gonna open up to you? Gimme a fucking break! *storms off*
Ruffette: Maybe I'd treat you better if you were honest, and not this bullshit version of yourself, always pushin' people away when they want to help you! Vortex, Bee, your own father. Lemme tell you, these people care about you, and even if you pretend you don't, you care about them.
Loona stops as her fists clench, seemingly in anger.
Ruffette: So you might as well stop with this fucking ac-
Loona: *turns around, tears in her eyes* IT'S NOT A FUCKING ACT!
Ruffette looks startled by Loona's outburst, which didn't come from rage, but from sadness.
Loona: *sobbing* It's who I was raised to be! You think it's easy to spend most of your fucking life in a pound, never know anything but hatred and abuse, and just come out of it acting like the nicest person in Hell?! It's not! Acting like this... *gestures to herself* This is my escape! Where I can forget about it all! How much I hate… myself! Where I can push people away to avoid them suffering because of my mistakes! And maybe… if I do this enough… if I end up going too far, nobody will miss me…
Ruffette stares in silence as her expression turns somber.
Loona: *sits down on the curb, burying her face in her knees* … and I won't hurt the people I care about again…
Ruffette stares at Loona with sympathy and pity, then walks over and sits down on the pavement near her.
Ruffette: … Vikki and Ruffie aren't my actual friends. *Loona glances up at her* To be honest, I fucking hate them. *looks down* But… when you spend most of your life as a gamer that never had any physical contact…
It fades to a slightly younger Ruffette putting her gaming system away.
Ruffette: … you sometimes have to act like someone you're not to get friends.
It changes to Ruffette meeting and becoming "fast friends" with a slightly younger Vikki and Ruffie as they "bond" over insulting others.
Ruffette: And sometimes you spend so much time around these people… your true self gets buried underneath.
Vikki and Ruffie don't see Ruffette's expression turning somber as she looks away, and it fades back to the present.
Ruffette: So I know what it's like to act a certain way… and… knowing you aren't proud of it.
Ruffette gives a slight smile at Loona, who was stunned. Ruffette then stands up and starts to sing.
Ruffette: So things look bad, and your back's against the wall
She steps over Loona's tail, looking at her.
Ruffette: Your whole existence seems fuckin' hopeless
Loona looks down. A drunk Hellhound stumbles out and tries to hit on her and Ruffette, but Ruffette calmly backhands the guy in the face.
Ruffette: You're feelin' filthy as a dive bar bathroom stall
The drunk Hellhound stumbles into an alley and passes out.
Ruffette: Can't face the world sober and dopeless
Ruffette keeps walking behind the distraught Loona.
Ruffette: You've lost your way, you think your life is wrecked
Well, let me just say you're… correct!
Loona looks surprised.
Loona: *faces her* Wait, what?
Ruffette: *on Loona's right, she pokes Loona on the nose* You're a loser, baby
A loser, goddamn baby
Loona looks absolutely baffled.
Ruffette: You're a fucked up little whiny bitch
Loona: *glares, offended* Hey!
Ruffette: *moves to Loona's other side* You're a loser, just like me!
Loona: *flips her off* Thanks, you bitch!
Ruffette: You're a screw's-loose-boozer
An only one-star drug user
Loona growls as Ruffette dances a bit.
Ruffette: You're a rotten problem at rock bottom
But you got company
Loona: *annoyed as Ruffette stands up and struts off* Is this supposed to make me feel better?!
Ruffette: There was a time I thought that no one would relate
Ruffette leans against the wall, looking into a window that reflects her younger self.
Ruffette: To the fucked up ways in which I'm damaged
She snarls and punches the window, shattering it, as she then turns back to Loona.
Ruffette: But lettin' walls down, it can sometimes set you straight!
Ruffette sits down next to Loona.
Ruffette: We're all livin' in the same shit-sandwich
She then faces Loona, who groans and facepalms.
Loona: *moves her hand* I spent my life locked up by some freaks
Ruffette: Haha! And you think that makes you unique?
Ruffette stands up and pulls Loona to her feet, startling her.
Ruffette: Get outta here, girl!
Ruffette then dances with the stunned Loona.
Ruffette: We're both losers, baby
We're losers, it's okay to be a—
Loona: *looks at her, unsure* Grumpy and moody bitch?
Ruffette: *peeks on-screen and smiles* Baby, that's fine by me
Loona, feeling a bit more confident, starts to sing as well.
Loona: I'm a loser, honey
A schmoozer and a dummy
But at least I know I'm not alone
Ruffette: *peeks on-screen* You're a loser
Loona and Ruffette: *they go back-to-back* Just like me!
It cuts to the two girls as colored outlines (Ruffette is pink and Loona is red) over a dark background. As they sing their parts, a spotlight of their same color shines on them.
Ruffette: I got an appetite for gamin'
Loona: I got an appetite for blamin' my problems on anyone I find!
Ruffette: *peeks up next to her* Go ahead baby, sing that song, come on!
Neon signs appear over Loona, pointing at her and calling her things like "BITCH", "HEARTLESS", "RUDE", and more.
Loona: I grew up bein' rude and sour!
Neon signs appear over Ruffette, pointing at her and calling her things like "LONER", "DWEEB", "LOSER", and more.
Ruffette: I never asked for any power
A glowing chain suddenly wraps around her neck and yanks her off-screen.
Ruffette: Yet it feels like I'm chained up!
She ends up next to Loona, who has a similar chain around her neck.
Ruffette and Loona: I'm trapped and it gets worse with every hour!
As the chains disappear, they slump against each other and fall to the floor. It then shows the two sitting next to each other as neon signs light up behind them.
Loona: You're a loser, baby
Ruffette: A loser, but just maybe if we
Ruffette and Loona: Eat shit together, things will end up differently
The duo stand up and start dancing before a large light sign that says "LOSER" as Loona hums.
Ruffette: It's time to lose your self-loathin'
Excuse yourself, let hope in, baby
Play your card
Be who you are
The two end up super close, smiling at each other.
Ruffette and Loona: A loser, just… like… me.
As the song ends, the two suddenly realize the position they're in and back off, both wide-eyed and surprised with faint blushes.
Loona: Oooookay, that happened…
Ruffette: Yeeeeah…
An awkward silence follows, before Ruffette hands Loona a slip of paper.
Ruffette: Here. *Loona takes the paper* My number. Since you got a new phone, I figured… y'know, might as well. *blushes more* Okay, see ya! *runs off*
Loona stares in surprise as she looks at the slip of paper, seeing Ruffette's number. She then looks back up in Ruffette's direction and lightly chuckles, a faint blush forming on her face.
Cut to inside the mansion in the living world... where it's pure fucking chaos! The gangsters were opening fire on Millie as she blocked the bullets with her axe, as Moxxie then gets behind her and shoots his sniper rifle over her axe, nailing all three gangsters between the eyes. Another runs at them with a knife, but Lincoln tackles him down and bites out his neck, then grabs his own knife and hurls it at another gangster, stabbing them through the chest.
Lincoln: Keep this up, we'll weed out that crime family soon enough! *swings his claw hard enough to behead a trio of incoming gangsters*
That's when a knife comes flying at Lincoln and he catches it without looking. He and his parents glare and see a buff bald man with a goatee, wearing a dark blue tuxedo with red details. Aiden was at his side, with a gun.
Lincoln: *glares* Aiden and The Gin.
Aiden: What do we have here? A group of masquerading killers?
The Gin: *glaring* You've made quite a mess here. I'll accept your apology and payment with your lives.
Millie: Not gonna happen. *spins her axe* We were sent by Jazmyne to kill you both.
Moxxie: *loads his gun* You stabbed her in the back, so now... we're here for payback.
Aiden: *scowls* That little son of a bitch! *cocks his gun*
The Gin: *hisses* You are welcome to try. *draws out a rocket launcher*
The Gin fires the rocket launcher as Lincoln grabs his parents and dives out of the way, as the rocket explodes where they were once standing.
Moxxie: *sees the smoking damage done* Ohhhhhh... *turns to the menacingly approaching duo* ...Fuck.
Cut to Minnie waddling through the hallways, taking in her new surroundings with awe and wonder. It was cut short when she heard Lincoln screaming in pain off-screen.
Minnie: *startled and concerned* ...Winky?
She starts waddling faster in the direction she heard her older brother screaming.
Cut back to the chaos to show Lincoln's arm had been shot by Aiden. Aiden then kicks Lincoln down and pins his foot onto the bullet wound, making him scream again.
Aiden: *grinning maliciously* Weak.
Millie: *angrily lunges for Aiden, reading her axe* GET OFF MAH PUP!
Her advance was cut short by The Gin snagging her by the throat, causing her to drop her axe. He then smashes her into the wall, making her scream in pain.
Moxxie: Millie!
Moxxie opens fire on The Gin, hitting him in the shoulder. But The Gin hardly flinches as he then throws Millie into Moxxie, knocking them both down.
The Gin: *cackles as he advances on the downed couple* If this was Jazmyne's choice of revenge, then she should've hired professionals!
Aiden pushes his foot down on Lincoln's wounded arm harder, making him shriek out. Meanwhile, Minnie finally arrives at the room, takes a peek inside, and looks horrified to see her family downed by the humans.
Minnie: *quietly, horrified* Winky! Mama! Dada!
Minnie notices a dropped knife nearby. Aiden then kicks Lincoln across the floor, making him roll next to his parents in pain.
Aiden: Game. Set. *he and The Gin aim their firearms to finish them* Match.
Just as he says these words, a small knife is stabbed through him, making Aiden shout in pain. Everyone looks in shock as the blade is stabbed right through his chest.
Lincoln: *stunned* Hey, you... you got somethin' stickin' outta your... your thing there.
Moxxie takes this chance and pulls out a pistol, shooting The Gin right in the neck, making the crime boss stagger back as he chokes and gags on his own blood. Aiden staggers back as well, before falling face first to the floor... and revealing Minnie was the one who stabbed him in the back.
Lincoln, Moxxie and Millie: *shocked* MINNIE?!
Minnie coos at her family for a few seconds before growling angrily and viciously stabbing Aiden again and again, his red blood going all over her. Soon, she stops, leaving the knife in Aiden's back, and then flops off of the dead body. She stands up and walks over to her stunned family.
Minnie: *smiles at them* Winky. Mama. Dada. *tilts her head in concern* Famwee... okay? *The Gin drops behind Minnie, now lifeless*
The family stares in stunned silence for a moment, before Millie smiles and picks her daughter up.
Millie: Yeah, we're okay, sweetie. *kisses Minnie's forehead as the baby Imp giggles*
Ronnie Anne: *in another room, worried as hell* Minnie!
Ronnie Anne, the twins and Lisa soon barge into the room.
Lincoln: *surprised* Guys?
Ronnie Anne: *looks around frantically* Minnie?!
Lisa: *spots Minnie with her family* You can stop worrying now, Ronnie Anne.
Ronnie Anne: *sees Minnie in Millie's arms and sighs in relief* Oh, thank Satan…
Moxxie: How the hell did Minnie get here?
Lana: *crosses her arms* Take a wild guess who didn't close the portal because they were busy on their phone.
It didn't take long for them to figure it out.
Lincoln: *facepalms* God fucking DAMN IT, LOONA!
Lisa: Did you eliminate the targets at least?
Moxxie: Actually, Minnie did. *rubs Minnie's head*
The four girls stare at the baby Imp in surprise, while Minnie was just giggling from the attention she was getting.
Lana: So in one day, she takes her first steps…
Lola: … says her first words…
Ronnie Anne: … and kills a guy?
Lincoln, Moxxie and Millie: Pretty much.
Lisa: *smiles* Hmm! Impressive!
Lincoln: Alright, let's go home. *rubs the arm with the gun wound* I got an injury to patch up.
Ronnie Anne: I'll take care of it, Linc.
Lincoln: Ronnie, it's fine. I can- *Ronnie Anne gives him a look that says "I'll handle it"* Alright, alright.
Cut back to I.M.P., where Blitzo is seen writing down some paperwork at his desk. The portal opens and the employees step out with Minnie in tow.
Blitzo: *glances up* You're back? *sees Minnie in Millie's arms* Oh, good! Min's with you.
Lincoln sits on the couch as Ronnie Anne grabs the first aid kit and begins treating his wound.
Lincoln: *glares at Blitzo* Wherever Loona is, I'm gonna have a long talk with her about this, Blitzo.
Millie: *stern* She's lucky that our baby girl didn't get hurt, but that don't mean she's off the hook. *Minnie coos*
Blitzo: *sighs* I know, you guys are pissed... and no, I'm not trying to defend her for what she did. I'm disappointed too.
Loona: *off-screen* ...Yeah, I figured...
Everyone turns to find Loona leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed. Her eyes were closed and her expression looked forlorn.
Ronnie Anne: *glares* Oh, look who it is.
Lana: *glares* Miss "My Phone is the Only Thing That Matters"
Loona: ...I'm sorry...
This caught everyone off-guard, especially Blitzo, but he started to smile with pride
Lincoln: ...What?
Loona: *irritated* I said I'm sorry, okay?! *tries to compromise herself* Look, I'm not good with this kind of shit, so this is gonna be brief. *sighs for a few moments* I'm sorry... for leaving the portal open... and letting Minnie go through it... It was selfish… and… fucking stupid and irresponsible of me. *walks up to Minnie in Millie's arms* Sorry for endangering you like that, Min. *pats Minnie on the head*
Minnie simply takes Loona's hand with a smile and a giggle.
Minnie: *smiles up at Loona* ...Wuuna.
Loona is surprised by this, as Minnie then crawls onto her arm and then her shoulder, hugging her head.
Moxxie: ... I... think she forgives you.
Minnie: *giggles* Wuuna! *nuzzles Loona, which gets a smile out of her*
Lincoln: *sighs* Well... If Minnie can forgive you, I guess I can too. *looks at the others* What do you think, guys?
Ronnie Anne: *huffs* Fine.
Lana and Lola: ...Okay./Whatever.
Lisa: *sighs* Just this one exception.
Lola: I still think it's gonna be a while before we trust you with the book again.
Lincoln: But seriously, *gets into Loona's face* put Minnie in that kind of peril again, *his Zodiac aura flares around him for a moment* and I'll do more than just break your phone. Got it?
Loona's response is to flip off Lincoln, which makes him roll his eyes.
Ronnie Anne: *unamused* Really?
Blitzo: Get used to it, Ron. It's just Loony's way of saying she got the message.
Ronnie Anne just scoffs, rolling her eyes as well.
Loona: *sighs* In all seriousness, I got it, Lincoln... It won't happen again, I promise. Now... *pan up to show Minnie now on top of Loona's head and tugging on her ears, which gets a chuckle out of Loona* ... can you get this little gremlin off of me?
Minnie: *giggling* Wuuna!
Lincoln: Hmm... *smirks* Nah. Looks like she's having fun. *Loona gives him an "are you serious" look*Just go with it.
Loona: *annoyed* Really?!
Loona looks up at Minnie and sighs again, but then smiles as Minnie continues playing with her ears, getting chuckles out of everyone.
Blitzo: *in his head, full of pride* I'm proud of you, Loony...
Later on, Lincoln, with a bandage wrapped around on his arm, hands Jazmyne a small body bag.
Lincoln: Aiden and The Gin's heads, as promised.
Jazmyne: *smiles* Thank you so much. *her scorpion stinger holds up a large case of cash and gems* I think this should more than suffice?
Ronnie Anne: *takes it* Oh, absolutely.
Lola's eyes sparkle at the payment, making Lana roll her eyes.
Lisa: *whispers to Lana* Question, Lana. Was one of your parental figures perhaps born in Greed?
Lana: *whispers* Our mother, yeah. Our father's from Wrath.
Lisa: *whispers* Ah. That would explain a lot.
Blitzo: *grins* Pleasure doin' buisness with you, ma'am!
Jazmyne: The pleasure's all mine. Thank you once again. *leaves the office*
Blitzo: Well, another successful job, everyone!
Lincoln: *smiles* All thanks to Minnie. *looks around* Where is she anyway?
Moxxie: *looks to his left and smiles* Oh, I know. With her new friend.
Everyone turns to see Loona and Minnie together at the former's desk. She was letting the baby play an app on her new phone.
Millie: *smiles* Awww.
Minnie: *giggles at the game she's playing* Yay!
Lincoln: *smirks* Heh, guess Loona's not a total phone-hog after all.
Blitzo: *gushing* Awww, my lil' Loony's made a new friend! Cuuute! *Loona scowls at him*
Loona: Don't get all mushy, asshole! I'm just doing this because she's earned it!
Minnie: *tugs Loona's fur, adorable pout* Wuuna no angwy!
Loona: *stares, then sighs out as she calms down with a smile* Sorry, Min. *Minnie giggles and goes back to playing*
Ronnie Anne: *to Lincoln, quietly* I think Minnie's softening Loona's grouchy heart.
Lincoln: *whispers back* I hope it keeps working. Loona may even be tolerable to be around.
Loona: *heard him and looks at Lincoln, unamused* Don't push your luck, Lincoln.
Ronnie Anne: *snickers quietly* Doubt it.
The couple share a quiet laugh to themselves as everyone continues watching Loona and Minnie having a moment together. The episode ends.
A/N: Yes, I used "Loser, Baby" from Hazbin Hotel for this chapter. Am I still gonna use it when I get to the Hazbin Hotel episodes? ... Damn fucking right I will. Hazbin's music is addicting, okay?
