I couldn't help but stare in horror, Pacifica was sobbing, her lamented cries echoing as she started uncontrollably hiccup on the ground, Soos was white, he had passed out, Stan and Ford stood there, they where shocked, they had frozen, it was like their brains out comprehend what was happening...I can't blame them...I...I can't really either...where once there where two twins, where now just those...stupid broken things Ford had taken from them...and in the floor...small smoke had erupted while they started to...to act like that...on the floor, the symbols if a huge, weird happen bird...an owl I think...where just etched in the floor...this couldn't be happening...they...they where just fine a few moments ago..! Where...

(3rd Pov)
A certain Latina girl could be heard rustling thought her bedroom, searching far and wide for it, she knew it had to be there somewhere, she just knew it! she just had it yesterday, where did it go? She let out a grumpy sigh as she kept looking around, she was absolutely annoyed at not being able to find it, her notebook, she swore she had it here somewhere
She sat up from the dusty floor she was looking in, a pout in her face as she couldn't find it, she needed it, it was very important to her, why you may ask? Because, there is where she was-
Before she could keep thinking in peace and quiet, an annoying voice called out her name, "hoot hoot! Luz! Someone's waiting for you" said a owl tube as it stretched itself up the stairs and into her room, she immediately forgot about her problems, guests!? Friends!!
"Thanks Hooty! Please tell them I will be there in a second" as she quickly grabbed her clothes, she was going to change in the closet, it was the only place where that bird tube wouldn't annoy her, and he couldn't make her come out of the closet!
He gave a smile as he then said "will do! Hoot!" As he slithered back to the door again, she waited until he was out and shut the door, picking up her favorite cat hoodie, some leggings, and changed, making sure she looked presentable, she then quickly rushed down the stairs, wanting to see who was looking for her oh so early in the morning
There, at the door, stood Gus, this didn't fail in making her smile, he had his back towards her, trying his best to stay away from Hooty, she walked up to him and ruffled his hair, this earned a laugh from the boy as he looked over at her
"Hey Luz!" He greeted as he smiled at the human, he liked hanging out with the girl, they always found something interesting and weird to do, so that was great!
"Hey Gus!" Said Luz as she had a loopy smile on her face, making him smile as well, her happiness was really contagious to her friends
"Watcha need?" Added Luz as she leaned in slightly, putting on a curious face, she wanted to know what Gus needed or wanted
Gus smiled and excitedly answered her question "I want to hang out!" As he waved his hands slightly, showing how excited he was, he really liked hanging out with Willow and Luz, since they where his only friends, which was kind of sad if you thought about it
"Sure!" Answered Luz as she then turned around "Hey Eda! I'm going to hang out with Gus! Make sure to feed Hooty and King! Lilith, make sure Eda stays out of trouble!" As she heard Gus shuffle his giggles from what she had just said
"Whatever kid!" Answered a annoyed female voice from inside the house, the female voice was from her mentor, Eda the owl lady, this caused Luz and Gus to smile
Luz was a...interesting girl, she was a human, in a world of monsters, demons and witches, and she loved it, she always enjoyed stories of witches and mythical creatures, her favorite holiday being Halloween, she wasn't scared of spiders, and had friends with reptiles, she was considered a weird kid
But here, she was welcomed for being weird, even if she was a different species, different from everyone, she found herself loving this place, more than home at least
"Let's go Luz!" She heard Gus say, she nodded and started following him, not thinking of much, she really didn't have anything to think about at the moment
"Where are we going?" She decided to ask after they walked a few minutes, Gus shrugged in response, looks like both of them didn't know what they where going to do, which was fine by Luz, she could always find something fun to do
"How bout we go to the market?" Asked Gus as she pondered
"Yeah!" She said as she then said "ooo~ I'm going to finally see what types of foods you guys sell!" As she fished in her pocket for snails
"Wait, you've not ever payed attention to what we sell? What about the mouth watering smells?" Said Gus as he asked, confused, but he thought this hilarious
"Yeah..." Said Luz's as she grabbed her arm, giving him an apologetic look "I never found anything that Eda has given me or that anything I've eaten is that appetizing"
"That's not good! I'll have to show you the best places!" As they both giggled and smiled, this was going to be so fun!
(Luz POV)
I ate the thing carefully, but I couldn't help and feel the texture unsettling, I didn't enjoy it that much I think Gus realized, the thing he gave me was tasty, but it would move around in my mouth, it was like when people eat squid or octopi, and the they move around? Yeah I've eaten that before so I know how it feels, bit the thing is that this was all like a mush, a moving mush- in your mouth, it wasn't the best texture
"You don't like it?" He asked as he chuckled, I would tell him it's the best thing I've ever tasted, but uh, I wasn't going to lie about food that's just not worth it, I could tell that he knew I wasn't enjoying it that much
This was a drink that he gave me, a thought ran through my mind for a second, I swallowed the thing and finally spoke "you guys should try soda pop someday"
"A what now?" He asked confused, I realized they didn't know what that was, I'm pretty sure they didn't have anything like it here, so I mean, they could enjoy it, right? Who knows anymore
"A human drink, it's pretty good, thought I don't think you guys could handle it well" as I giggled slightly, yeah, would they take gaseous drinks well? I mean, the first time I drank some of it, it made me tear up, and who knows if it's different from witches normal food
"Oh? did you hear her?" I heard from being me a masculine voice say
"'Can't handle it'? Are you underestimating us human?" I heard behind me, I giggled as I turned to meet the Blight twins, who where looming over me, their usual smirks placed in their face, I made a finger gun under my chin
"Mmm...what if I am?" I said cheekily, I couldn't help but smile when I heard gasps from Gus and the twins, Emira laughed a bit, while Edric leaned on my shoulder
"Not cool Lu-lu" he said as he dramatically leaned backwards, a hand over his forehead, like a "oh's poor me" which made me laugh more
I was happy, I made friends with amity and the twins! How awesome is that?! Thought they where a busy family, Eric and Emira most of the time 0ulling pranks and making people's lives insufferable, while Amity was working hard to be the best
"Oh come on you witchling" said Emira as she pulling Edric's pointed finger, making him since slightly as he moved off of me
"Oww! Emi no fair!" He grumbled as she let his ear free, which twitched a bit, it flapped up and down a bit as if it was trying to find a way to relieve a bit of the pain, it then stopped, making me laugh a bit, they always found something weird to do, which was always fun to watch
"How are you two?" Asked Gus as he smiled slightly, Emira, Edric and Gus had started becoming more friendly, since they where the 3 best illusion magic track students
"We're doing fine" said Emira as she smiled slightly as well, while Edric kept grumbling that his ear hurt a ton and how he was going to die in a dramatic tone
I smiled as I then asked "hey, anything ringing you two here?" As I looked at Emira and Edric, this seemed to make them realize they where waisting time
"Oh! We where actually here to take Gus, a school project" said Emits as she rolled her eyes in annoyance, I noticed Gus seemed to realize that he was supposed to be doing something too
"Oh yeah!" He said as he got ready "sorry Luz I have to go" shooting me an apologetic look
"It's fine!" I said, trying to calm Gus down who just looked sad "a-alright" he finally spoke, this made me feel a bit sad, poor Gus
"It's ok" as I gave him a bright smile, which he quickly smiled back, I could make almost anyone smile, that's something I wanted to do, make people happy, I also wanted many friends, since I was lonely most of my life
I nodded and then said "alright, bye then!" As I smiled and started leaving, waving bye excitedly, making them smile and wave back
"Bye cutie!" Said Emira winking at me, making me face redden a bit, I didn't know how to feel about that... I just rushed back to the forest, heading to the owl house, before long, I was walking in the forest, humming die young, a song I really enjoyed, I didn't know what I wanted to do now, I just took in the scenery
It was filled with reds and pinks, it was only calm for the Boiling Iles, but before I hadn't realized how easily you could die on the human world as well, and didn't realize how many rules we had back at home, this made me hum a bit louder as I thought of this, not knowing, that soon enough, I would meet people who would understand me
