Haha, love making you guys wait for episodes. But, starting a new part gives me more ideas to follow the last episode, so bare with me. ^^
Amity put the phone down, grabbing ahold of Prince, "CALM DOWN YOU IDIOT! THEY'RE JUST BIG TO YOU! STAY STILL!"
Prince whimpered, bunking in to the furniture, the butterflies transferring to Amity's bed, the Blight quickly but carefully picking them up. She went back to the cage, letting them climb on the branch. Nero cautiously stepped towards her, Amity taking the butterfly off his nose, "Good kitty."
"Amity is everything okay?" Luz asked.
"Huh- Oh yeah- Sure-"
"Are all the butterflies back in the cage?"
Amity sighed, "Uhm..I think they all are yeah.."
Nero mewed, shaking his head, looking straight up, Amity following his gaze to the ceiling. "Oh great.."
Prince bunked in to Amity's leg, the human looking back down, taking the butterfly from his right eye, putting it in the cage, closing the lid. "What was that sound of disappoinment and despair for?"
"Nothing Luz, it's fine- W-We got this covered."
"Do you need me to come over?"
"No no, you stay and finish dinner." Amity insisted, picking the phone back up, putting it up against her ear and off speaker. "They're just butterflies! They won't cause that much trouble."
"If you say so..Well, I'll be over later on in the night if you want me to take them back home-"
"No, they can stay the night, you just have fun with Ms.Noceda."
Luz sighed in relief, "Thanks Amity, goodnight."
"Night Luz."
The witch hung up, Amity placing the phone on the cabinet, looking back up. "Nero, you can climb, right?"
^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^
'Can't believe I'm doing this..' Nero snarled, reaching for the butterfly. "Too high!"
Prince whined, looking down at Amity, shaking his head. "Damnit! Fine! I'll go ask for help!"
Amity helped prince down off the stepladder, Nero jumping in to Amity's arms, nuzzling in to her shoulder. He then realized who he was snuggling up against, pulling back and dropping to the floor, "As if I'd ever like to be caught by a blonde." He muttered.
The human walked towards the door, opening it, walking down the hall, Prince following close by. "Hey Amity, do you think you can learn my language?"
"What's up buddy?"
He shook his head, Amity patting his head, counting the doors til she stopped. She knocked on the twelfth (12th) door, waiting for it to- "Yes Ms.Blight?" The male asked, opening the door further.
"There's a butterfly on my ceiling, we can't get it down."
He closed the door in an instant, Prince looking up at Amity, both giving eachother a confused look. "I do apologize madam, but I don't do well with bugs."
"Oh come on Henry, we both know very well that's a lie. You kill all the bugs for us!"
Amity could sense he shook his head behind the door, "Not this time, butterflies are my worst nightmare."
"Just because they look big on your eyes, doesn't mean they actually are!" Amity exclaimed, knocking on the door. "Henry please! It's Luz's butterfly!"
All the doors down the hall opened, the- One..Two..Eighteen..Seven..Uhh.. Four maids and five butlers Amity had for the night, came out, "Where's the butterfly?"
^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^
After struggling to get the butterfly back in the cage after an hour, they completed the task. The insect moved across the ceiling when everyone tried to get it down, making the servants move the stepladder to try and get it down. But who caught it you asked? Henry. It got on his eye, the older male falling back on to the bed, screaming like a girl as someone got it off him.
Nero was in charge of watching the supposedly moth butterfly thing, he mostly watched the prey- I mean, bugs. The butlers and maids left, all murmuring about Luz, Amity closing and locking her door. "Hey Amity, I want to teach you letters!" Prince barked.
"Huh?"
He barked, going towards the desk, Amity following, the mutt getting on the chair, moving papers around with his nose. "What do you want me to do buddy?"
Prince nudged a paper, Amity looking down at it, messed up alphabet. "J, I, L, K, A, Prince you don't know the alphabet order?"
"I do! But I forgot the order. Also it's an acrynom.." Prince barked the last bit to himself.
*The acrynom was, Just Imagine Luz Kissing Amity ;)
"That's what she just asked you moron!" Nero hissed, meowing about the messed up order.
Prince huffed, putting his paw over the paper, "You learn with me! Then Luz will be super impressed and fall in love with you!" Prince yipped.
"Hey dog, you know not to force her in to a relationship." Nero mewed, putting his paw on the cage, the butterfly getting back on the branch. "Besides, I heard her last night. She likes Bo."
Prince looked over at him, "Really?"
Nero nodded, pawing at the cage, "Eh yeah..There's a..Pink? No..Purple heart I think, on Bo's name. Hey Blight, it's cracking."
Prince barked up at Amity, letting out a whine as he looked towards Nero. Amity went over, looking at the cocoon, it was cracking. "Oh crap- Where's my phone- What time is it-"
Nero mewed, getting up and nudging the device, Amity picking it up, her screen lighting up as she read the time. "10:39. Should I call Luz?"
Prince barked, his tail wagging, Nero licking his paw, wiping his muzzle. Amity fumbled with her phone, putting it up against her ear, waiting for an answer. First call, no, no answer. Amity tried again, no answer. Alright, getting a bit nervous right now.
Amity called again, no answer. "She isn't answering."
Prince got off the chair, going over to them, letting out a small whine. Amity checked the number, it was Luz's phone number. Amity shook it off, calling Luz again. "Hello?"
"Luz you nearly gave me a heart attack- Why didn't you answer the first time?"
"Oh- Sorry- Is something wrong?"
"The last ones coming out." Amity said, looking back at her cage.
The cocoon shook, a wing popping out, "Dang it! You live so far awayyy."
The moth came out, the butterflies all huddling in the corner, not liking the different bug. "Oh wow that's amazing-"
"No no no! No spoilers!"
The moth flapped it's wings, going to the group of insects, the butterflies already panicking. "They don't like it." Amity mumbled.
"What do you mean?"
"The butterflies don't want the moth."
"Hey Joey! What do moths like?" Luz called out, her voice a bit faded. "They like light? Really?"
"Nero you're scaring them, don't do that." Amity muttered, pushing Nero's paw down.
He tapped at the cage again, the moth going to the top of the cage. "Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey!" He yowled. "Blight it's escaping!"
Amity looked back at the cage, the moth slipping through the hole at the top, walking around the lid. "Nero-"
"It looks delicious." He purred, getting up on the lid. "And easy to kill!"
Amity picked him up, Nero so very very close to squishing the moth with his paw, "Bad cat! Sorry Luz, you were saying?" Amity spoke.
"No nevermind.."
"I want to hear you talk, please, keep going." Amity said, holding Nero in her arms.
"It's getting late..I should go to bed."
"Luz, please, continue your train of thought."
The witch paused, Amity knowing the reason behind the silence. "There's no actual train Luz, it's a metaphor. It just means to keep the same thought you had."
She was still quiet. "A metaphor is a figure of speech-"
"Speech has no dimension-"
Nero got comfy in Amity's arms, Prince having gotten the moth on his nose. "Just keep talking about what you've been up to."
Luz shuffled about on her end, a small bell jingling, then a thud. "Ouch-"
Amity snorted, "You okay?"
The witch moved around again, letting out another cry of pain, then the sound of a box being opened? "Oh yeah! I forgot Ay gave this to me! Or was it from you?"
"What do you mean?" Amity asked, carefully putting the moth back in the cage, not wanting it to escape.
Amity adjusted the phone as she went to her bed, sitting down, Nero nuzzling in to her arm, Prince getting on the bed as she got comfy. "When he dropped Mattias off, he gave me a little box. He said it was from you and that it jingles!"
"Oh."
"Were you the one who got it for me?"
"No, that was from Emira. She asked me to give it to you, so I could give it to Ay, to give to you when he went over to drop Mattias off." Amity explained, running her hand through Prince's fur.
He flipped over, relaxing himself, letting out a yawn, then laying his head down on the pillow. "What is it though Luz?"
"Erm- I'm not sure? It's like a collar, with a bell and a bow." Luz explained, Amity hearing the small bearing hit the metal sheet.
"Excuse me for a second, I need to go.. Dig something.."
"Amity, what are you planning.."
"Nothing silly! Just going to plant flowers.." The human smirked, already having the perfect flowers in mind.
"Boscha uses that allegory- AMITY DON'T KILL YOUR SISTER-"
"I'm not! At least not today.." The human whispered.
"I heard that!"
"No you didn't-"
"I most definitely did! You are a bad human. Bad!"
Amity gasped, "You're hurting my feelings Luz." Amity said dramatically.
"I'm sorr- No! You can't do things you want, that hurt people dummy!"
Amity cheered, "Atta girl Luz! You're getting the hang of it."
The human could tell the witch was making a smug grin on her side, "Oh! I forgot! What is, sar-cass-em?"
"Sarcasm?"
"Yes yes! That! What is that?"
"You don't have that?"
"We might! Care to explain?"
"Alright, let me call someone real quick."
To be continued.
