3rd POV
Sitting on the coach of Ramshackle's lounge area, the Ramshackle residents finally got some rest and relaxation after some pretty rough months.
"Haa.... We went through a lot of trouble in these few months." Grim huffed as he flopped in Y/n's arms. "I didn't get to achieve my dream in the end..... Even though we have worked hard for them as a manger, it's such a waste!"
"I'll but some tuna Grim, if that'll cheer you up." Y/n said, petting the cat's little head.
"Damn it! My mind can't stop repeating "Yahoo! Yahoo!". I feel frustrated just by thinking about it!" Grim huffed out.
"Language."
"Sorry."
"Our dorm looks wider than before after they went back to their dorm." Hooty said.
"It feels kind of lonely." Y/n mumbled.
"Alright then. We have taken a shower, let's go to bed now." Grim said to Y/n as the girl stands up. They soon head to the bedroom.
Closing the door behind her, Y/n let's Grim jump out of her arms and into the bed as Hooty and Owlbert go to their nests that they built a few months ago. Y/n took a good look around and sighed with a smile.
"Home sweet home." She mumbled before climbing into bed with Grim by her side. Slowly, she drifted away. That's what she thought.
*Knock Knock*
There was a knocking on the mirror. Y/n's sleepy eyes shot wide open as she sat up and look at the mirror.
"Someone is... Knocking at the door? Or is it the mirror?" Y/n mumbled, rubbing her tired eyes. The mirror's faint glow illuminated the room once again.
".... Hey. Hey! Y/n! Are you here?" A familiar voice came out of the mirror.
"Luz!" Y/n took off the blanket on her, and went straight to the mirror with a big smile.
There she stand in front of the silver glass as the ever so familiar silhouette of Luz Noceda turned visible.
"Hey! Good evening, or morning, or whatever time it is at your world! Long time no see! How are you?" Luz greeted Y/n with a smile. "Geez, how long has it been since the last time we met? Since we could only see each other only see each other in our dreams, it's pretty strange to say we have met before. Ever since then, I tried various ways to enter this dream, like wearing the same pajamas, eating the same bedtime snack before going to sleep, even annoy Eda the same way before getting to bed. Got a lot of chores after that last one, haha! None of them work though. Even so, why can I see you today? I didn't do anything special when I went to bed."
'Maybe there's another way to connect to Luz's world.' Y/n thought to herself.
"By the way, you didn't get to talk about your mysterious camera the last time we met." Luz said to Y/n. "I can't stop thinking about it since last time!"
"Thank you! Can I take a picture of you?" Y/n asked.
"Sure!" Luz nodded.
Grabbing the Ghost Camera from where it was handing next to the mirror, she shows it to Luz and Luz was interested in it.
"Whoa.... What's it called?" Luz asked.
"It's called a Ghost Camera! Apparently, you take a photo of something and it's like a video on paper!" Y/n explained briefly to Luz as she sets it up.
"So cool!" Luz beamed. "I love learning about creepy and Magical stuff like this! That's why I'm training to be a witch!"
"Why? You don't have magic?" Y/n asked.
"Nope! But what I can do is draw gliffs which are like spells and used them to cast magic!" Luz explained to Y/n.
"That's.... That's something here in Twisted Wonderland has never heard of before. I mean, sure there are ancient ways in doing magic but a lot of them are gone through time. We only really have the ability to use magic through Magical Pens, Books, Staffs, and other Magical tools." Y/n said to Luz.
"Maybe one day I can teach you about Gliffs! That's would be so cool!" Luz beamed.
"Same here. Oh yeah, the picture. Say Hoot!" Y/n said to Luz as she positioned her Camera to Luz.
"Hoot!" Luz smiled at the camera as the picture was taken.
*Click*
"Can I see, can I see, can I see?!" Luz said to Y/n. Y/n shows the photo of Luz and she laughs. "Yup! That's me!"
"Now I can show my friends that you're not just a Dream!" Y/n smiled.
"Ohohoh! Wait! Give a smile first! I need to take a picture of you to show my friends and Eda!" Luz said, taking out her phone. "Say Hoot!"
"Hoot!" Y/n smiled as her phone camera clicked.
*Click*
"Can I see?" Y/n asked Luz. Luz flipped her phone screen to Y/n to show her the photo. "Man I look like a wreck right now, haha!"
"Long day?" Luz asked.
"One of the longer days, yeah!" Y/n and Luz laughed. "There's no normal day here at Night Raven Collage after all."
"Night Raven Collage?! How old are you?" Luz asked.
"16. First year of high school!" Y/n said proudly to Luz.
"Cool! I go to a school called Hexside! It's super fun there! Maybe I could give you a tour around if we ever meet!" Luz said to Y/n.
"It's a deal then, Luz!" Y/n smiled.
"Too bad it's this glass that's only separating us from meeting." Luz said as she knocks on the mirror's glass a bit. "But I feel like we are getting closer and closer than the first time we met. I can listen to your voice more clearly, and I can see you better too. We can talk even longer now! Oooo~ maybe we could even watch a movie together!! Does Twisted Wonderland have some sort of Movie Theater or something? I want to recommend a few movies to watch."
"Ayup! We live in the modern age here at Twisted Wonderland. Technology and Magic are combined here." Y/n said to Luz.
"I wish Eda, King, Gus, Willow, and Amity would see you too. You guys could all be great friends!" Luz smiled. "They'll be sure to eat their words if the see you and not some dream!"
"Maybe I can show you my friend here... Give a me a sec!" Y/n said to Luz. "Hey, Hooty! Owlbert! I've got someone to show you!" Hooty soon flew down with Owlbert close behind.
"What's up Y/n- AH! WHAT THE BLISS??" Hooty hooted out.
"No way! You have a Snowy Owl named Hooty! We have a Hooty at the Owl House too! But he's a bit..... Strange. Stranger than strange. Trust me." Luz said to Y/n.
"Hooty, this is Luz, the one I've been talking about before." Y/n introduced Hooty to Luz. "And Luz this is my Familiar, Hooty."
"Nice to meet you, Hooty!" Luz said to Hooty.
"Like wise." Hooty hooted out.
"And this is-"
"OWLBERT!? What are you doing there!?" Luz yelled out.
"Hoo!!" Owlbert jumped for joy when he saw Luz again. "Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!!"
"He said that he missed you and Eda." Y/n translated for Luz.
"Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo." Owlbert hooted to Luz.
"He also says that it's been centuries since he last saw you and Eda." Y/n said to Luz.
"Centuries....?" Luz soon gasped. "I'M IN THE FUTURE!!! Well, I'm seeing the future that is. Haha!"
"Wait, does that mean your from the past?" Y/n asked.
"I guess so!" Luz shrugged lightly. "By the way, why is Owlbert there with you in Twisted Wonderland?"
"Sam told me that Eda was known at the Owl Lady Of The North here. So that could mean she knows how to get here! Maybe not know in your time but sooner or later she'll know how!" Y/n said to Luz.
"That's so cool!!!" Luz beamed. "Wait, how do you know Eda?"
"Should I spill the beans?" Y/n asked her two Owls. They nodded as Y/n looks back at Luz. "Eds is my great ancestor." Luz gasped.
"I'm friends with Eda's descendant!!" She squealed. "This is the best day of my life!!!"
"I also have one more friend to introduce to you, Luz." Y/n said to Luz. She was about to call for him but he wasn't there. "Grim...?" Y/n rushed out of her room and looked all over for Grim in Ramshackle but he wasn't any where to be seen. She soon returned to her room. "Grim isn't here at all...."
Something happened. Her vision blurred as flashes of memories happened. An ebony carriage..... The gates of Night Raven.... An Overblot Monster that resembles Grim.....
"Y/n! Are you okay?" Luz's voice snapped Y/n back to reality.
"I'm okay. I'm okay. This has become a norm for me." Y/n reassured Luz.
"Are you sure? You look pale." Luz asked.
"I have a bad feeling....." Y/n muttered out.
"Something must've happened to who ever this Grim Character is of yours." Luz said to Y/n. "I wish I could help but...." She knocks on the glass again. Y/n nodded. "Go and find your friend! We'll talk some other time. Now, Go!"
"Thank you Luz. Hooty, Owlbert, help me out. See you next time." The two owls nodded as the mirror's dim light slowly drifted off.
The remaining Ramshackle residents scattered everywhere to find Grim. Then, Y/n went to the Purple Stage...
"Grim!!! Where are you.....!?" Y/n shouts echoed throughout the large area. She heard digging behind her. A few feet away.
"Here it is..... I found it... Heeheehee..." Y/n snapped her head to the direction of the familiar voice. "It hot buried... When the stage was fixed...." Crunching. The sounds of crunching made Y/n feel tense. "......... Tasty....." Her eyes widened when she locked into the figure.
"Grim.....? I-Is that you bud?" Y/n mumbled out to the figure.
"Ugh...... Ugh......" It turned around. It was Grim but he looked.... Different. "Who is it's!? Grrrr..... This is.... MY STONE!!" Grim pounced on Y/n as he slashes her with his now sharp claws. Y/n blocked his scratches with her arms as she stumbled back and falling on the floor. Her arms had light scratches on them. Nothing deadly, but they sure hurt.
"Grim it's me! Don't you remember!?" Y/n yelped out. Grim look hesitant but shock it off.
"GRRRRRRRR~~~~!!" He growled at her, sending a direct hit on the girl with some magic before running away. Y/n's vision started to blurry. Her eyes feeling heavy. She blurted out one lats things.
"Grim................?"
Darkness. That's all what happened left.

In Ignihyde, Idia's room, the Shroud brothers talk about what happened today.
"Ah, I've used up all my energy for today." Idia sighed.
"You did a great job, brother! Your presentation was amazing!" Ortho said to Idia.
"Using the synthetic voice to create a smooth talk. No look typing, all perfect combo, it's the stage of my super play." Idia said proudly.
"I believe the exclusive committee, Riddle Rosehearts will be proud if you." Ortho laughed.
"If I put a little effort, it's so easy for me to create these things..... Heehee!" Idia chuckled. "... Well, even though I immediately rushed to my room after Q&A section is over."
"Yoy should look around the Festival too." Ortho said to his brother.
"This Festival is full with the research presentation and artwork of high school students.... All of them are so low level, it's not fun to look around...." Idia sighed.
"Oh? Y/n's performance at VDC was amazing to watch." Ortho said to Idia.
"Besides that...." Idia mumbled. A notification pinged in Idia's computer.
"You have received a new mail." Ortho said. "It's the intern invitation letter firm the company that watches your research presentation just now. I.T., Communication, Sorcery Engendering, Application Development.... Ah! Wow, brother! The Olympus Company sends you an invitation letter too!! Do you want me to open the mail on the monitor? Or do you want me to read for you?"
"No need. Just delete it all." Idia said to Ortho.
"Eh? But...."
"It's fine. Since I won't be able to go anywhere." Idia said to Ortho.
