A day had gone by since Maxwell had seen a softer side to Amity and that Luz informed him about how she started to become friends with her as well, causing him to feel as though Luz brings out the better in others. Luz, King, Eda and Maxwell were out in the market place as they were running an errand. Luz, King and Maxwell were sitting down on a bench as Eda was nearby.

"People watching on the boiling isles is much more interesting." said Luz.

"What's people watching?" asked Maxwell curiously.

Luz and King looked right at Maxwell as if surprised to hear him ask. Maxwell was a bit clueless to what they were talking about.

"It's just where you watch people in public from a distance, without them knowing and you can observe what they're like from how they interact with others." explained Luz.

"Didn't you ever do that before, big guy?" asked King placing his hand on his side.

Maxwell shook his head as he understood what people watching is now but he just never done it before.

"I've never done that before. I always thought they called it stalking." said Maxwell blushing a bit.

"It's not stalking, it's just watching people on how they interact, without them knowing and we sometimes imagine them in a very interesting situation." Luz told him.

Maxwell started to understand what people watching is as he looked up and the first person he saw from a distance looked like full grown female Cyclops lady. He was imagining her as a dancer who teaches kids how to dance at a studio. He was at least having a little fun.

"I think I get it now. That lady Cyclops over there could be a dance teacher who teaches kids to dance." Maxwell pointed out.

Luz and King saw who he pointed out to them and they only saw this lady from the back, but than they heard this Cyclops speak in a deep voice and turned around. They all blushed as they saw the face of the this Cyclops person.

"That's no lady." said King shaking from surprise.

"That's a man." said Maxwell disgusted. "Where's a bucket of cold water when you need one and I'll throw up in it after it's empty."

"It's alright guys, this kind of thing happens. Back at home when I was six, I met a guy my mom knew and I thought he was a she but it turned out he was just playing the part of a woman in a theater play. Boy was I shocked." said Luz with a word of comfort.

King and Maxwell felt a bit better hearing that. Eda had walked over towards them and she looked a bit annoyed but worried.

"How'd it go?" asked Luz.

"So far, not good. I'm down to one of the elixirs to keep my curse at bay and that's not good, I already taken it. So I'm out till tomorrow." answered Eda.

"What curse?" asked Maxwell curiously.

As Luz, King and Maxwell got up, they all looked right at him as they had no idea if he knew or if he didn't know about Eda's curse.

"Why are you all looking at me?" asked Maxwell nervously.

"Maxie, do you know what a curse is" asked Eda.

"Swear words?" Maxwell guessed.

They shook their heads and Maxwell was starting to catch onto what they meant about what curse.

"Should we tell him?" Eda suggested.

"Well lets not alarm him." Luz advised.

Maxwell was feeling like he was left out of some information he needed to know like people who lie in police interrogations. Eda reached out to place her hand on Maxwell's back, causing him to blush.

"Maxie, long time ago when I was young, I got cursed, I don't remember who cursed me but I take this elixir to keep the curse at bay. If I don't take it, well." Eda stopped as she looked towards Luz.

Maxwell was listening but wondered what she was meaning by the end of it. Luz pulled out her phone and showed him a picture of Eda's monster curse form. There were some pictures and a video on her phone of it and he was now wide eyed at the sight of it. Maxwell gulped loudly.

"You mean if she doesn't take it, she becomes?" said Maxwell looking as though he was about to freak out.

They nodded and Eda placed her hand on his chin and slowly lifted his head up to face her face to face. His heart racing and he felt his fear seem to double as he was too afraid to say anything or to even move on is own.

"Now Maxie, it's alright. You got nothing worry about, I know how to handle this. Trust me on this." said Eda with a word of comfort.

"That's w-w-w-what I'm a-a-a-afraid of." stuttered Maxwell.

Eda placed her hand on Maxwell's head as she gently and playfully patted him on his head as if to inject some comfort into him.

"Luz actually knows what to do when my curse form takes over and she manages to get me back to my real self. She's done it before." Eda told him.

"That makes it a little better." said Maxwell feeling a bit comforted.

"Lets head out." said Eda.

Luz took Maxwell's hand and held him by the hand which not only did that have him feeling a sense of comfort but a little nervous at the same time. He always felt comfortable around her but never expected she'd hold his hand. Just as they were walking off, someone pulled Maxwell by the other hand, he lost his grip with Luz and was pulled into the arms of a woman who appeared to be in her twenties, at least six feet tall with a curvy appearance, big lips with pink lipstick, she looked like she had huge breasts and a big butt with long blue hair, she wore what looked like a pink and red kimono. She looked like a bimbo.

"Oh looky here, you look much cuter up close, big boy." said the lady flirting.

"What?" said Maxwell feeling his heart rapidly accelerating.

"Oh come on, I saw you with those two girls and what looks like a pet. You got to be dating them or something." the lady teased.

"What, I'm not, or, I'm, well, I don't know." Maxwell told her feeling confused.

"Oh, maybe we should start dating." said the lady blowing kisses at him.

This lady was flirting with him and hugging him a bit tight and close. Maxwell wasn't liking this one bit.

"Uhhhh Luz, Eda, King, a little help here? Make this lady stop." called Maxwell.

The lady was about to kiss him and Maxwell felt like this was stranger danger from what Eda advises about.

"EDA HELP!" shouted Maxwell.

Eda, Luz and King turned to see this and they rushed to Maxwell's side.

"Hey lady, have you ever thought he's not playing hard to get?" Eda warned.

The lady stopped and Maxwell managed to break free from her grip as he ran towards Eda and hidden behind her, shaking a little.

"Wait, are you his mother?" she asked.

"That's really none of your business." snapped Eda. "As a heads up, if you like someone, don't approach them that way, it scares them. If they show no interest, than your better off looking for someone else."

The lady with the blue hair saw that Eda was giving her a very serious look that told her to back off. She let out a sigh and huff.

"Okay lady, your no fun." the lady said in a huff.

The lady walked off as she looked as though she was hoping to get a date with Maxwell but Eda stopped her as this lady left and was defeated. Luz hugged Maxwell to comfort him.

"Is she gone, Eda?" asked Maxwell.

"Nothing to worry about kiddo. She's not dating you if I'm around." Eda answered.

Maxwell let out a sigh of relief and Luz patted him on the back.

"Sorry we didn't notice at first." Luz apologized.

"It's alright, she caught me out of nowhere. And I'm not into women like her." Maxwell revealed and he went silent.

"What sort of women?" asked King.

Maxwell just realized this got their attention in a different form. Luz and Eda looked as though they were hoping to hear something they expected or were worried to hear something that sounded like bad news.

"Let me guess, your not into those who are too rough, aggressive and if they don't take no for an answer and if they don't listen to you?" King gave his best guess.

"Sure, lets go with that." Maxwell told him with a hiccup. "Can we go?"

They lead the way and figured this was a subject that they shouldn't bother Maxwell with. Luz pulled Maxwell in for a hug which helped him feel better.

"That lady back there, she didn't, you know?" asked Luz looking concern.

"No, she just tried to kiss me and hugged me too tight. I'm surprised she didn't break my back." answered Maxwell.

"Makes me wonder if there's a girl here you like." said King.

Maxwell blushed and let out a slight cough. Luz and Eda wondered about this too.

"I don't know yet." Maxwell lied.

"Well, one day you'll know. But if the girl breaks your heart." Eda began.

"We'll tear her to shreds." said Eda, Luz and King in unison.

Maxwell looked at all three of them, surprised to see their mama bear instincts pop out of them like popcorn. They realized what they just said was being told out loud.

"Too aggressive?" Eda guessed.

"A little." answered Maxwell.

"Hey Maxie, looky here." said King.

As Maxwell looked towards King, the little male demon crossed his eyes and out flopped his long, thick, wide and huge purple tongue. He made silly noises as if to attempt to make Maxwell laugh.

"Where's that smile and laugh. I'm gonna make Maxie waxie laugh." teased King.

Maxwell looked as though he was doing his best not to laugh or smile. King placed one hand under his armpit and moved his arm on it over and over as he made loud but fake farting sounds.

"Oh my, I think I had too many cans of beans." joked King.

Maxwell couldn't fight it no longer and he burst out laughing with a grin. King managed to laugh and giggle.

"Ooooh, your smiling, I got you to laugh. The king of demons got a kid to laugh." giggled King.

Luz smiled as she kissed King on his forehead and hugged him in her arms.

"Your such a cutie for caring for others and making them laugh." said Luz cutely.

"Are they always this funny?" giggled Maxwell.

"They've grown to get along that way. It's normal." answered Eda. "Your not jealous, Maxie?"

"I am not." said Maxwell trying to laugh it off.

Eda reached out to wrap her arm around Maxwell and held him closely to her side, causing him to go silent. King would randomly make Maxwell laugh a bit more and Luz would join in which got him to laugh and smile. From a distance, someone was following them and it looked the lady with blue hair.

"Eda, the owl lady, you can't protect him forever. His power is mine and he'll make a tasty morsel in my web." said the blue haired lady.

The blue haired lady showed she had eight eyes on her face now and a very evil idea was forming in her head.
