After that event at the baseball game fiasco. Nobody can figure out who shattered those car windows.

Finger pointing to the rats, teenagers, debris from the weather and all the above.

Moxxie was able to calm down after they were half way home. Just curled up on the chair nibbles on the chocolate. Maria let them be along with talking how she please he made some new acquaintances. Which earn her a groan that she giggled at.

The day he came back to school. He threw the stupid wristband at the gym teacher's face. Didn't care he had to run laps. Plus, the gym teacher now has a wristband mark stained on his face. Along with extra rats in other lockers too.

Now how the crumbs did he start to now talk with these girls again? Simple.

Maria.

His Madre was in one the towns to make a delivery of Whiskey. She was surprised to run into Sallie. Small talk. Along with numbers exchange. Maria face was amused as Moxxie face showed horror.

"Why you give them our number?"

"She technically gave their number first. Plus, was going to look through the phone book to call every Maria if I have a feral child."

So, yeah that happened. Moxxie wouldn't answer the phone at first actually being on guard. Doesn't want to give any kind of hopes up. Maria never pushed it. Besides telling him to answer since she does get calls for orders.

He eventually answered one of them. It was a long talk with the sisters. Mostly with Sallie, but Millie would jump in. Almost thought he would breakdown over the phone but he didn't. Well besides nervousness. Millie didn't seem to mind. Now he had to see them both again to hangout but his choice were.

Both siblings seemed very shocked when she realized where he lives was a long ride. Like how they had traveled back and forth for the school games. Since the town he met she was far away on the first meeting. He just told her he used a truck that day. Now he had to bring his truck, if his Madre didn't need it, to meet them again. But he will figure it out.

Did meet up with Sallie and Millie like a few weeks later to hang out. Doesn't know what made them agree to this. No, seriously they don't know. Maybe because they're not well extra rude? Could be act. If so thumbs up to them still lasting this long. Yet, a part of them, a small part whispering maybe they do like to hang out with him

It was still hard to believe at times. He was only use to Striker.

Moxxie was shaking and ready to just disappear. Hide in the truck and drive off. All of them just sitting outside a shop. Sallie was able to keep the tension down. It went along with stupid jokes.

"Scar...That was terrible."

"Come on it was genius!"

"Sis you're not to be a comedian."

"Even my own blood against me! Do you understand the pain you're both putting me through? Crushing my dream."

"Yes/Yes."

"Jerks!"

"Correct."

"You already knew that."

Sallie left us. Really, she was getting them some drinks. It left the two of them alone.

"So, Moxxie."

Moxxie glance at her and tilted his head.

"What you like to do?"

"...I play music."

"Oh! That's cool. What can you play?"

"It's um string instruments. I like the violin."

"Neat. I've done the banjo a couple of times. I might have to go back to that again. The last one I used well I slammed it down on someone head."

"Why?"

"Said I was terrible, and was purposefully trying to hurt my feelings." Millie huffed with a grumpy look. "I like it too."

"Could get it fixed."

"It's fine. Like it was pretty bandaged up and find a way to get it fixed. Or just buy one very cheap."

Moxxie did a small nod. Rub their arm a little awkward. "So, what you like to do besides banjo and squaring up against your siblings."

"I like to go on roller coaster rides! Ever Went to Loo Loo Land?"

"Never heard of it."

"Well, it's in the Greed Ring. It's an amusement theme park. My folks and I would go when we have time. It so much fun. The rush, and thrill going down those killer machines. It's a blast! The prices will admit not cheap but worth it. The mascots are so much fun."

Moxxie stayed still at the word mascot.

"HI, there you adorable- "

SCREECH!

Maria stomping a mascot hand while she cradles a feral, shaking Moxxie. "NEVER JUMP OUT HUGGING SOMEONE KID LIKE THAT YOU SICKO!"

"AHKPIWNIJFJIOENF!"

"Mascots can jump in a pit of rats."

"What was that?"

"Any clubs?"

"No, well I was in the wrestling club but I'm now banned."

"Why?"

"Don't like how blood thirsty I can be."

Blink in confusion. "But this is Wrath. Isn't that good?"

"Exactly! Grr some common sense here. I can't wait when I'm older to join the pain games and really show them." Punch her hand in her fist with a big grin.

"That's go- "

"Millie who the fuck is this?"

The pair turn to see a taller imp with some muscles. Looks around their age. He was glaring at Moxxie.

What the crumbs did he do?

"I'm talking with a buddy of mine with Sallie?"

That is still so weird to hear.

"Really? Is that why you didn't want to hang out later? Don't see your sibling." Eyes narrowed in suspicion.

"Inside, plus you told me you were going to be busy." Millie arms crossed as she sent him a look.

"I mean I am. But really wasting time talking with this shrimp." Walk over to look down at them. "Jeez you're skinny like a stick."

"Hey lay off." Millie stood up as she growled. "Were just hanging out don't have to be rude."

"Just stating what I'm seeing. Wait a minute." Lean in closer to look at their face and laugh. "Ha! Are you blind in that eye? Even your other eye so different."

"Knock it off Ted!" Push him away. "Jeez can you be jackass somewhere else."

"Hey they're being the rude one not talking to me at all. But whatever if you want to talk with this weirdo." Smirk as he reaches out to grab the scarf. "Nice scarf? Who made it your mommy- "

Moxxie smack the hand away.

"Hey!"

"Go." Push them back with a heated look.

"Little freak." Unaware he took a small step back. Look at Millie. "You coming or what?"

"Ted I'm not going plus I'm with my sister."

"Leave the two freaks behind."

"What did your whore ass just say?"

Moxxie eyes widen as he watches Millie tear into this Ted. Even toss him into the street. He somehow landed in a passing truck with wild rams. Screams can be heard.

"WHEN YOU GET OUT THAT MESS WERE HAVING A LONG ASS TELL YOU HEAR ME!" Millie screams at the truck as she snarled with her pupils very angrily. Stomp back over on the chair and mutter. "Ready to dump his ass."

The short of the two stares at Millie. A little frown. "Did I make this worse for you two?"

"What?"

"You said you were going to dump his ass. He didn't look thrilled to see you talking to me." Stood up. "I think I should g- "

"Wait, wait Moxxie. This isn't you fault it's all him." Millie took their sleeve to bring them back down." Look I can be rude if someone being rude back. But he just knows where to attack you. He pulls this shit so much its aggravating. Then calling you and my sibling that. I'm not going to deal with that shit boyfriend or not. So, come on don't leave."

Moxxie just looked at her for a long time. Just not understanding it. "Why?"

"Huh?"

"Why are you trying so hard to befriend me. It can't just be because I help your sibling." Glance down a bit. Then got a sigh.

"Look even though our talks have been limited because Sallie hogs the phone. I like talking with you. Even if you don't like to talk. You're just so calm, chill around me. "She smiles a bit. "So, don't okay. At least don't keep me hear with Sallie."

Stare as they let out a sigh. Might as well see how this can go. Even if just during these years of high school. Many seem to drift apart. "I guess that torture enough for you."

"Wow dramatic." Millie snickered at the eye roll. She received.

The pair just talk.

"So, wait you sew?"

"...Yes."

"What you done so far?"

"Bracelet material for my Madre along with a shirt and skirt. Usually for like a birthday gift. I made a shawl for my teacher. I'll do some alteration and patch work at a place I help out. Socks, bandanas, gloves, and a few shirts. Made a hat. I um made this." Motion his outfit. He will make other outfits too but it was like dropping off in random orphanages ones on Wrath. What? It was better than the clothes going to waste. Like he did with the Charas. Nothing else.

"Cool!"

"I guess."

It was nice. Soon Sallie came back and they just had a good time. Got annoyed hearing Ted was here and try to pull some shit. Told Millie to dump that one ass. He couldn't believe that he actually had a good time. Did pinch himself just in case. Now he still didn't like any physical touching when they want to well hug and such. But got used to the handshake. Sallie got away with a hug only because it wasn't a surprise.

After that they meet up randomly and are not busy. Both sides are very busy with different chores and jobs. But when they can't they'll talk over the phone. He was fine with that. But when she taught Millie, Sallie lied to their folks. They technically told them they been talking to another girl not a guy. Honestly did not hear bullshit from their Pa and Ma. So, he played along and did not mind. Did hear them threaten one their siblings to not say crap. Wait, it was blackmail. Yep, sibling love.

Oh, and Millie did break up with Ted. He is also in a neck brace.

So, it was relaxing sometime to talk to them.

"I don't know what to get them." Millie talks to Moxxie over the phone.

"Get who?"

"Sallie birthday coming up. I want to get them something. Just don't know or not rich enough to get it. Got any ideas?"

"Im not the one to asked."

"Come on Mox help me out? Even my buddies, Sallie giving me terrible idea or already done it."

"How will I be any better?"

"You think outside the box?"

"Ha ha." Roll their eyes as he was sewing. Stop a bit at order he was working on that he got to bring home. "You mention awhile back taking your clothes. Right?"

Well, l she really doesn't have like her kind of clothing yet besides stealing my own. Were very tight on money when its clothes. Able to work around what we got to be well her style."

"I could make her something."

"Huh?"

"You know what she likes or what she been looking into lately. Could be like an outfit to go out. Or just some comfy stuff- "

"You would do that?"

"It can be both from us." Hear a happy squeal.

"I owe you so much Mox! This is such a great idea."

"I'll do it for free."

"What?" Millie blinked and waved her hand in the air. "No, no, no! I want to pay."

"It's fine. Plus, you'll have to do the harder part."

"Like what?"

"Measurement and sizing so she won't get suspicious of her surprise gift."

"You're devious." Millie stared and smirked. "Well, well Foxxie Moxxie really is a fox."

"Uhhhh I'm an Imp?"

Millie head down in defeat on the other line. "Yes, yes you are. I'll get you the size and we can brainstorm ideas."

"Alright."

They did meet up without Sallie in secret. Well, besides Maria as she drove that day but let the two masterminds be. Moxxie showed Millie some drawing ideas that they talked about over the phone. She loves all of them. It was a bit hard to choose for her sister. Plus, well for herself as Moxxie wants to give her one as an early gift.

She is going to owe him so much for this.

"This one?" Moxxie points at the outfit. It was style as a dress. A black style top with sleeves. The skirt was purple and was flowy with a feminine fit and flare design.

"Yep!" Millie grinned at him.

"Okay let's check over fabric wise. Got these in stocks but will take a bit not having a mannequin."

"I'll tell sis her gift will be late on her Birthday since we are going out that day. Family together trip Birthday."

"Sounds fun."

"It is but Sallie rather been with her friends. But it was one of those busy weeks."

Moxxie nods and was given the measurements. "How you get them?"

"Random dance happening at school and us just went dress shopping for fun. Just copied what the employee put. Then left when the employee being a pervert jerk."

Moxxie almost broke his pen when she said that.

"Now they just lost a few mirrors. Such a shame."

"Should have put a bullet through their hand."

"If only I had a gun."

"Want to borrow mine?"

"You have guns?"

"A few. I help out at one the stores."

"Maybe you can teach me to shoot one."

"Really? I thought of you throwing daggers and axes at targets. A gun would be a breeze for you."

"Aww now you're just being nice. Well, I had when I was younger and Pa was teaching us. For safety reasons if we ever need to use it. But we were mostly taught to fight with our muscles and blades. Well, I like certain bladed weapons." Millie giggles and Moxxie. "But it's been a while honestly. Kind of did realize those weapons expanded a lot. Even the crossbows."

"I don't mind one day reteaching you. Best for a situation if anything were to happen."

"Wait? Really."

"Madre would have to be with us since some of the guns are hers. The shooting range very weird when they're not some kind of adult."

"Aww such a good rule follower."

"Or maybe I just break rules in a different way and no one will believe you."

"Damn." Millie gapped at the serious looking imp and giggled. "Seriously you are something else Moxxie."

"Yeah, yeah now pick a color."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

The meetup was very different along with Ted.

Ted goes bye, bye now!

Moxxie at best sees themselves as acquaintance with them. Even if they are unware having friendship moment.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
