An hour into the Gluttony party, everyone was already enjoying themselves as Bee's theme song 'Cotton Candy (TikTok Remix)' played over the loud speakers.
Blitzø was having a chat and drink with an old friend he caught up with the last time he was here, while Moxxie and Millie were having a make-out session in one of the guest rooms.
Loona was getting changed in the bathroom with Tex waiting out front, before coming out in a ruby-red bikini and swimsuit leggings.
"So, what do ya think?" she anxiously asked twirling her hair.
"Cool as always, Lunes." replied Tex, giving her a pat on the shoulder.
This made the hellhound blush a brighter red than her swimsuit, as usual, before making her way to the swimming pool at back with him.
Meanwhile, Balin was sitting and chatting with some other female hellhounds: a German Shepherd, a samoyed, a rough collie, and a golden retriever. As he gently rubbed the retriever's belly rubs, the collie gently groomed his hair with her tongue.
"We're so glad you dig Hell so far, little dude." said the samoyed hound. "It's not as bad as you heard, but at least you're enjoying yourself."
"Yeah..." panted the retriever from the belly rubs. "You can scratch my ears too, if you want."
With that, the boy moved his fingers up to her floppy ears as her foot began kicking up and down in pleasure.
Soon, Bee buzzed up to the boy from behind and hugged him with all four arms again.
"You doing okay down here, little guy?" she asked.
"Yes I am, Queen Bee." Balin replied.
"That's good to hear." Bee smiled. "Wanna grab a drink before the main event I was talking about?"
"Yes please, Bee."
"My, my. What manners for such an adorable little human." the bee-like fox demon smiled more.
"Uh-uh-uh, Bee. I've got a couple spots left." the rough collie said, before grabbing the boy again and giving his hair a couple more licks. "There we go. Your hair should be more party fresh."
"Thank you Ms. Hellhound." Balin replied with a hug.
He soon walked over to Bee, who got on all fours and lowered her back for the boy to climb on for a nice ride.
"Hang on tight sweetie." she said, showing off her insect wings. "These wings can make me go pretty fast."
As Balin did just that, Bee then flew high into the air of her palace, giving him a grand tour.
As she flew, the boy saw every demon and hellhound socialising with no violence involved, unlike the world he once knew. Despite that, it was an amazing scenery for him.
During the ride, he couldn't help but go 'WHEE!' making Bee laugh out loud.
"Having fun up there?" she shouted over the loud music.
"Yes, Queen Bee!" exclaimed Balin in response.
Soon, the flight ended when Bee lowered down to the ground and the two walked over to Mirandah the Landseer's bar where she was still working.
"Yo, what up Bee?" she greeted her in her husky voice. "Need me to fix you up another drink?"
Balin then showed his little smiling head over the bar counter, making her speak in a softer tone.
"Ohh, and who's this little guy?" she leaned over to greet him. "Hello."
"Mirandah, I'd like you to meet our party fam's guest of honour." spoke Bee. "Say hello to Mirandah, Balin."
"Hello to Mirandah, Balin." waved the boy.
The two hellhound girls began laughing at his innocence.
"Aww, you're so cute for a human." smiled Mirandah kindly. "I have to say girl, two things I ain't never seen in this party are humans and kids."
"Well this one's indeed special. And he's my new best friend too. So kind and thoughtful, saying how beautiful I am. Aren't you, little buddy?"
Mirandah couldn't help but wag her tail in delight as Balin nodded to Bee happily.
"Do you think I'm beautiful too?"
"Well I love your fur, so yes." he said.
"Oh, thank you darling." Mirandah caressed his little cheeks. "So, what would you like to drink?"
"Hmm... do you have any, Fanta?" asked the little boy.
"Ooh, a soft drink, eh? Hmm..." replied the Newfoundland bartender. "I'm sure I have plenty of those."
"Then can I have a grape Fanta please?"
"With those manners? Comin' right up!" she then snapped her fingers. "And I assume your usual, Bee?"
"Hibiscus-flavoured Beezlejuice?" giggled Bee in response. "Honey, you know me too well."
"Great. Because if you ordered the same drink as him, I'd be all like 'WTH did you do with the real Queen Bee?'" Mirandah laughed, talking to her BFF. "Thank Satan, am I right?"
Soon, Mirandah put her mad-crazy mixing skills to good use, and since she was happy, she went even faster than with the imps' drinks.
"...And there we go. Enjoy, little one." she spoke to the boy. "Hope you like your grape Fanta."
"Thank you, Ms. Mirandah." smiled Balin.
"Bye-bye now, human pup."
Balin and Bee then flew up to the top of the large fountain in the middle of the house to watch as the party went on.
The boy was a little scared of heights, so Bee used one of her lower arms to keep him nice and snug in her embrace as she held her drink in another.
"Cheers!" the two then said, clinking their drinks before taking a sip of them.
"This party is crazy, Bee." smiled Balin. "I never thought I would become friends with demons and dogs before."
"Hearing that really means a lot, baby." chuckled Bee. "I can tell, since you have a little discomfort around dogs."
"Who told you that?" Balin then perked up, acting like a detective. "Was it, Loona?"
"Yeah." laughed Bee, before asking a question. "Anyway... tell me, if you were any breed of hellhound in this party that you like, what would you be?"
"Can I whisper to you?" the boy softly said. "I don't want them feeling left out hearing me."
Nodding, Bee then lifted one of her antenna-tipped hound ears so the boy could whisper his breed of choice in her ear.
"Gotta say little one, I really like your taste." chuckled Bee. "Seriously, I can taste the energy of people at my parties."
"And me?"
"Oh, your energy's so wild, I could just..."
Bee then proceeded to give him little love bites on his cheek and neck, like she was pretending to eat up the child, laughing from her playful affection.
"Thank you for having me at this party, Bee." he then sighed. "I feel so welcome here. Like I never want to leave."
As he let out one more little chuckle from the tickle, Bee then picked up on how different he sounded saying that. While she was glad for his love, she still felt rather sorry for him.
"Listen, Loona told me about what happened in your world." she softly explained. "I'm sorry you must've gone through so much."
"I did." replied Balin. "I used to believe my world was a fun place, like this one. But since I was taken away from my mommy and daddy, I guess... I guess... this party is the most fun I ever had. Or ever will have again."
"Hey now, don't say that bud." sympathised Bee with her left upper arm on his shoulder. "Sure there must've been some happy memories."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Some memories are always the best to look at, whether in Hell or not." continued the queen. "Because kid, I've seen your world. While it's not always gonna be perfect, it'll still be a fun place too. Not everyone's accepting in it, but at least, you got me and your other new friends accepting you."
"You accept me?" Balin asked with stars in his eyes.
"Absolutely. Look at everyone down there." the boy then looked down into the crowd. "See how happy they are? Can you see some waving to you?"
It was quite a blur coming from high up, but as he looked closer, Balin could see a couple of hellhounds and imps waving up to him, before walking off and partying once more.
"It's because of the kindness you've been showing them." continued the queen. "And that's something special for someone as special as you and I to witness." she then gave him a couple of rubs on his back.
"Yeah. It makes me feel at... home." smiled Balin.
"What? Why would you want to? You look like the kinda human that belongs in Heaven."
"I've been told that before." Balin then sighed hearing that from Bee, still recovering from the truth of the angels' extermination days.
"You heard the tales. Haven't you?"
"I have." the boy then hugged Bee by her waist with his smile. "But I think it's you demons who are the most angelic."
Hearing him say that about her and her kind made Bee's heart swell up with tears in her eyes. "Awwww, baby." she then wrapped her arms around him and cradled him back and forth.
All the worry in the two slowly melted away and turned back into a good vibe, whether it was for now or not.
"Alright, why don't we chase away these blues and get this party started?"
Bee then stood up with their arms still around each other and flew away from the fountain.
...
Meanwhile, Loona and Tex were playing some water polo in the pool with some other hellhounds.
In one of the rounds, Loona hit the ball so hard with her strength, it rocketed to the other end of the pool, where a hound from the other team doggy-paddled all the way to retrieve it before throwing it with a strong nudge of his snout.
Soon, Bee turned off the DJ's sound system in the music tent nearby and grabbed a mic in one hand, and with Balin in another two, she flew up into the air where everyone could see her.
"WHAT'S UP MY PARTY... B-WORDS!" she shouted into the mic. "Y'ALL HAVIN' SOME FUN TONIGHT?"
Everyone cheered and howled in response, even the I.M.P gang. And as uncomfortable Loona felt around her cursing in front of the boy, she slowly started feeling relieved in a way.
"HELL YES!" she continued. "MOMENTS FROM NOW, I'D LIKE TO BRING MY GF LOONA TO GET HER ASS UP HER FOR A PARTY SURPRISE. BUT BEFORE LONG, I'D LIKE TO KICK OFF THE DANCE PARTY, THE BEST WAY I COULD ASK FOR. With the help of... THIS LITTLE GUY!" Bee then showed Balin to the crowd, making everyone cheer their warm welcomes to him.
"You hear that, Balin?" whispered Bee away from the mic as everyone gave him 'he's so cute!' compliments. "They all love you."
Hearing all that made Balin sniffle with love.
"AND NOW, WOULD THE LITTLE HUMAN PUP LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS BEFORE WE BEGIN?" she then held the microphone to his mouth, which made him stutter in surprise a little bit. "It's okay, just say what's on your mind, sweetie."
Balin then saw Loona climb out of the pool with her wet but still furry legs, as she looked at him smiling and gave him a wink.
"Uhh, I LOVE HELL. LET'S HAVE FUN!"
Everyone cheered louder for the little boy as some of the females went 'Awww!'
"NOW, LOONIE!" shouted Blitzø.
Loona then grabbed out the cotton candy blaster from earlier on. "Fuck yeah!" she grimly said, as she started blasting cotton candy all around the place.
"Hit it, DJ!" Bee pointed to the DJ in the sound booth, playing Bee's personal party songs.
Such as...
"WELCOME TO THE PARTY" by FRENCH MONTANA, DIPLO, LIL' PUMP and ZHAVIA WARD
MONTAGE:
As everyone dug into the cotton candy, including Balin, the dance portion of the party began.
Soon, the little started tripping out from the sugar in the cotton candy and floated all around the mansion as everyone was splashing, cheering, dancing, and getting genuinely fucked up.
Blitzø was soon getting into a lot of Beezlejuice chugging competitions with a lot of demons, including a buff male husky hound, and won every one.
Millie was dancing out of her mind until she bumped into Loona, making her chase the tomboy imp around the mansion shooting the cotton candy blaster at her.
Moxxie however drunk a small glass of Beezlejuice, mixed with the cotton candy, and soon fell to the ground acting all looney. Soon, he started getting dragged into one of the guest bedrooms by the mouth of a sexy Irish Wolfhound-like hellhound, who tossed him to the bed and pinned him there as she started licking him all over his groggily face. Like the cringy playtime scene from 'Toy Story 3' with Buzz Lightyear.
Balin's floating soon ended as he landed in the middle of a mosh pit of hellhounds, and began dancing at the bridge of the music like a maniac, making everyone cheer for him in a circle.
"Go Balin! Go Balin! Go Balin!"
As he then spins around like a ballerina top on a music box, he secretly starts feeling like he's gonna hurl.
A few minutes later...
Balin was now in the bathroom throwing up with Loona gently patting his back, now that things were back to normal.
"There there, kiddo. Let it all out. Hehehehehehe." she giggled and hiccuped as he continued puking.
MONTAGE ENDS
Soon, Loona carried Balin out of the bathroom, having fallen asleep on her shoulder, and walked out to the gang.
"Something tells us 'I' won't be getting a hangover tomorrow." she laughed.
"Loona's right, that spot's already been taken." chuckled Moxxie, pointing at a drunk Blitzø.
"Well, looked who had the most fun." burped the boss.
Soon, Loona snapped out of her blurriness to hear the scraping of claws nearby. And it was Vikki with foam all over her mouth.
"That delicious kid is MINE, YOU MANGY MUTT!" she roared as she bolted towards him with Loona now growling in defence. "GIVE ME HIM NOW!"
Just then, Ruffette punched her in the face, knocking her out cold.
"I'm like so getting kicked out of her soiree for this, but it was worth it for this little dude." she smiled at the boy in her arms and leaned close to him for a final selfie, as he slept. "Again, what a sweet little human you have, Loona. See ya!"
As the Dalmatian left the party with Loona waving, Bee leaned close to her.
"Yeah, have you ever thought of... becoming his mother?" she asked.
"What? Of course not." she scoffed. "Even though I've grown to care about him a bit, he does still have his mom and dad on Earth." she then looked down at the little boy with a warm smile and kissed his cheek.
"Well, guess it's time for us to all go too." Moxxie said in a sobering giggle. "Thanks for having us, Your Highness."
"Please, call her Bee Moxx." replied Tex kindly. "On my behalf."
"Good night, Balin." Bee whispered to the boy, gently kissing his forehead resting in Loona's shoulder. "Can't wait to party with you again."
As she and Tex waved goodbye, the I.M.P gang soon left the mansion, being picked up in a taxi once again.
"OW, OW, AWOOOO!" howled Bee as the party continued raging all night long.
BACK AT LOONA'S APARTMENT...
Loona carried Balin to his room and gently laid him on his bed and in his blankets, smiling at his cute sleeping face.
She gave him another gentle kiss on the cheek and rub before leaving the room to let him sleep once more.
As she walked into hers and landed on her bed, she suddenly let out a little burp. Surprised she'd do that, she quietly laughed it off as she drifted off to sleep for the rest of the evening.
