Days have gone by and Maxwell seem to be feeling a bit better, there was a time or another when he felt a bit down but King's humor and Luz's affection seem to help him feel better in his mood a little. Maxwell was out and about with Eda, King and Luz as they were running an errand that needed tending.

"Do you think Maxie is alright? He's been quiet the whole time we left the owl house." said Luz worried.

"He's probably just recovering from his ordeal." said Eda.

Maxwell was sticking by them as King would wave to get his attention. He looked towards him.

"Hey Maxie, looky here." said King eagerly.

King crossed his eyes at Maxwell in an attempt to make him laugh which got him to barely react as if he was trying not to laugh.

"Where's that smile, Maxie. I know you got a smile somewhere or do I got to make the face." giggled King.

King suddenly lolled out his huge purple tongue and crossed his eyes again, making silly noises in an attempt to make Maxwell laugh which seemed to work as he choked out a laugh and smiled.

"I got you laughing." laughed King.

King stopped with his silly faces and noises while he had a grin on his face while Maxwell chuckled for a bit.

"See, I got him to laugh." said King proudly.

Maxwell felt somewhat better while Eda and the others ran their errands which Eda had stopped as she stopped by a bench.

"You three sit, I got something else to tend to that I got to do on my own." instructed Eda.

"Are you sure you don't need assistance?" asked Luz.

"Sit down. I'll be fine." Eda told them firmly.

Luz, King and Maxwell sat down on the bench. Eda patted each one of them on the head as if to reassure them everything is alright.

"It's alright guys." said Eda reassuring them.

Eda walked off and went to tend to what she had to do while the rest of them sat down on the bench. Luz and King looked towards Maxwell out of worry.

"Maxie, you sure you're alright? You haven't said a word all day." asked Luz curiously.

"I'm just recovering from that incident before. That, and being out and about is clearing my head." answered Maxwell.

"Well, your with us now, so we're always here for you." said Luz.

Luz placed her hand on Maxwell's shoulder as if to comfort him which he felt it working a little.

"Maxie, how is it you got hair the way you do?" asked King curiously.

"It's naturally been this way." answered Maxwell.

"Well, with your hair and looks, you probably could have any lady you want." said King giggling.

Maxwell blushed and went silent at the idea, leaving King to wonder if he went a bit too far.

"I don't want just any girl. I want the right girl that has my heart. But..." Maxwell stopped midsentence.

King smiled and Luz was trying hard not to go crazy with excitement. Maxwell just realized that he let something slip by accident.

"Ooh, Maxie waxie's got a crushy wushy." giggled King. "So whose the lucky girl?"

"I'd rather not talk about this subject right now." said Maxwell looking away.

King started to blush and giggle as he did a bit of a dance that made his butt look like he was shaking it to a musical groove.

"Maxie got a girl he likes, oh yeah, he does." said King in a sing song voice.

"A human having a crush on a girl in this world, oh please." came a female's voice.

They turned to look up at a female teenager with three eyes on her face and with pink hair stood there with two friends of hers, one being a male who looked like he dressed like a hoodlum and the other with her purple hair being in a ponytail. King's dancing stopped.

"Boscha, a female Cyclops teenager, engages in mischief, pranks, bullying, a potions student at school, nearly killed my friends with your treacherous lies, set ups and thrill seeking, yet you got your bodies swapped with the opposite gender when you got what you deserved for what you did to my friends, you use your Penstegram to bully and harass others and your little hang out got destroyed when it clearly wasn't up to coat." said Maxwell really fast.

This left Boscha and her friends stunned for a moment.

"How did he?" Boscha began.

"Your mind isn't a closed book, sister." said King with a snap of his fingers.

Boscha smiled at this and looked towards Maxwell.

"A southern male human who can read minds." said Boscha.

She placed her hand on Maxwell's shoulder which left him feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"So human, are you single? Because with hair like that and those chiseled features, you look kind of hot. Why don't you and me ditch these two and go on a date." said Boscha hitting on him. "I know a place where they got the best ice cream."

"I'd rather not." said Maxwell denying her politely.

Boscha was a bit surprised at first but she pulled Maxwell to his feet as they saw how tall he looked. Boscha pull Maxwell in her arms as if to hug him. Maxwell wasn't liking this as he shook all over.

"What, you already got a girl or what? Why not be with a real girl like me?" said Boscha as she was being stubborn.

"Uh guys, make her stop, please." pleaded Maxwell.

"Boscha, release him or else." snapped King.

Maxwell managed to wiggle free from Boscha's arms which left her confused and now annoyed.

"Boscha, leave Maxwell alone." warned Luz.

"I'm not your piece of meat." said Maxwell with a hiccup.

"Oh really, what is anyone going to do about it? He's clearly playing hard to get, why else would he be with you guys?" said Boscha rudely. "Hey big boy, don't be a wimp like these two."

A bit of rage kicked into Maxwell at this point. Boscha was about to update her Penstegram when it appeared in a puff of purple smoke. Maxwell snapped his fingers and made the Penstegram she made appear suddenly disappear in a puff of smoke.

"Hey, what was that for?" said Boscha annoyed.

"Take you and your hoodlum friends and leave. You stay away from me and my friends." warned Maxwell looking serious.

Boscha and her friends were surprised to see that Maxwell stood up for someone which left Boscha feeling rather angry.

"Did you just call us hoodlums?" spat Boscha.

"You heard me. Besides, things are different in this world now. There are no dumb, hoodlum teens, no stupid, horny teens, no prejudice between humans and demons, it's just kids, teens and adults. There's us and the people, we survive this coming together, not apart. I'm a guy whose able to tell that you and your friends are trouble, these are my friends, you get in our way and bully any of us, your gonna lose." said Maxwell in a firm tone. "Get out!"

Boscha was left burning mad as she didn't like lectures or being lectured ether.

"What are you going to do about it if I don't, smack me one?" Boscha said sarcastically.

"I don't hit women." said Maxwell defiantly. "Your lucky I don't poke out your third eye and make you look like a human, you bitch."

They all went silent and wide eyed from what they just heard. Maxwell said a swear word towards Boscha.

"He said a swear word." said the girl with the purple hair in a ponytail.

"Whoa, he's got a bit of fight in him. Big, tall, a lot of hair and he denied Boscha, he got you beat Boscha." said the male demon teen.

Boscha was now so angry that she clenched her fists.

"You think your so hot. I challenge you to a race on dead man's curve." Boscha dared.

Boscha pointed out where the location was and Maxwell saw where which was at a road on a very high height that was taller than a sky scraper. Maxwell didn't seem to like how high up it was but he looked right at Boscha as he cracked his knuckles.

"You are crazy, you wanna get killed doing that?" said Maxwell looking surprised.

"I can understand you don't want to do it unless your...scared." taunted Boscha.

Boscha was making chicken clucking sounds to taunt him which Maxwell was annoyed cracked his neck.

"You asked for it, princess." said Maxwell with a grin.

"Don't call me princess!" snapped Boscha.

Boscha took Maxwell by the arm and harshly lead him towards where she was taking him but he looked back at Luz and King as he winked at them.

"I got an idea." he told Luz and King through his mind.

Luz and King didn't like this as they saw them disappear from view.

"Luz, we can't let him do this. When I was in your body, I went over that road like a log dropping from the sky. They're going to hurt him, they're going hurt our buddy." King said panicking.

"Not to mention Eda is going to be so mad when she finds out about this." said Luz worried.

"What am I about to be mad at?" came Eda's voice.

Luz and King turned to Eda and she looked around to see that Maxwell is not with them.

"Where's Maxie?" asked Eda looking serious.

"Okay, before you get mad, it's going to be some bad news and just so you know, it's not Maxie's fault." said Luz nervously.

Luz and King told Eda what went on and as she listened, she showed a wide eyed look of shock from what she just heard.

"He's been dared to do what? Doesn't he realize how dangerous that is?" said Eda alarmed.

"It wasn't his fault, Boscha was harassing us and he was defending us and she made him feel uncomfortable." explained Luz babbling a bit.

"We'll talk about that later, we got to stop this, now!" said Eda sharply. "Someone's in big trouble!"

Eda gotten her staff out and they got onto the staff as they flew towards the sky in order to go stop Maxwell from doing what Boscha was about to do.

Somewhere around the road where Boscha, her friends and Maxwell were at the beginning of the road where they had two giant rat worms. Boscha was on one while Maxwell was on the other when they grabbed the reins of them.

"You ready to lose, blondie?" teased Boscha.

"Kiss my ass." Maxwell spat.

The two raised their hands and slapped the bottoms of the rat worms and the rat worms had them take off like racecars at a race track. The wind blowing in their hair as they were picking up speed.

"You are so done." taunted Boscha.

"In my neck of the woods, this is a national sport." Maxwell snapped.

They kept going faster but than Boscha stopped as Maxwell kept going. He looked back and saw her waving at him while he looked in front of him to see a sign that read "Road Out"

"Ayuda!" shouted Maxwell.

He pulled the reins back to stop but the giant rat worm stopped but Maxwell was sent flying into the air as he saw he was falling from a high height. He knew that there was only one thing he had to do.

"Jiyū no tsubasa!" shouted Maxwell.

Maxwell suddenly formed huge white wings on his back that grew on his back in a white flash of light. His wings suddenly flapped to have him fly in the air and he was flying fast in the air while he cruised around in the air.

"How you like me now, Boscha!" laughed Maxwell.

He was flying in loop da loops and he was whooping it up as Boscha and her friends saw this, Boscha was irate while her friends were shocked beyond belief. They went towards the ground and Maxwell flew towards the ground but did a few flips before he landed on his feet, his wings disappearing in a puff of smoke.

"Is that all you got! I'll take your best shot! How you like me now!" said Maxwell in defiance.

"Wow, didn't know a human could do that." said one of the punks.

Boscha went towards Maxwell as she was burning red with anger and she growled loudly.

"You little show off, you were suppose to lose." shouted Boscha.

Maxwell looked at the other kids that were with Boscha as they were surprised and shocked at this. Maxwell felt something overcome him.

"You, young lady, with long, gorgeous, purple hair in a ponytail and you, young man with the sock hat, is this what you want for the rest of your lives? No, you don't want this. I've seen people who were pure evil, people who hurt children like you, children who were not to blame for their situation. Good people taken them in and they became leaders, good people who became leaders in what they got." said Maxwell as if trying to inject compassion in them.

The kids were confused at first. They wondered what Maxwell was getting at, was he trying to make them into better people.

"We've done horrible things to stay alive or to make it in this world, things we wished we never did, knowing we can't take it back. Making enemies isn't what we want. We can let it go, all of it. And no one gets hurt, no one feels pain anymore, no one dies. We're all still alive right now, we've done the worst things just to keep living. But we can still come back, we're not too far gone. We all can change." said Maxwell trying to make peace.

Boscha's friends were looking at each other and back at him, not knowing what to do or say. Boscha looked at him with a spiteful expression.

"Liar!" snapped Boscha.

Boscha formed a fist and landed a punch on Maxwell's face, causing him to fall to the ground as he landed on his side to the ground, spitting out a bit of blood. He tried getting up but tried not to lose himself to breaking down.

"Freeze, you twerps!" came Eda's voice.

As the others saw Eda fly in, that's when Boscha was about to punch him again and he flinched, closing his eyes as he waited for the impact of her fist again but he slowly opened his eyes to see Eda block Boscha's fist.

"Young lady, don't you know hitting others is wrong. Hit him again and I'll do more than yell at you." warned Eda.

Boscha placed her fist down and both Luz and King stood by Maxwell, helping Maxwell up to his feet. Eda looked towards Maxwell with an angered look as she crossed her arms.

"Young man, don't you know that what your doing is dangerous? You could've been killed." said Eda sharply. "Tell me what's going on, just tell me the truth."

Fear overcame Maxwell as he was terrified of Eda from her reaction and the sound of her voice. He shook all over, scared of suffering her wrath.

"There's a simple answer to this, Miss Eda. But please, don't be mad." Maxwell said nervously shaking.

Boscha smiled as if seeing that Maxwell was going to take the blame for her actions, causing her to cross her arms.

"Ooh, he's going to get it." teased Boscha.

"I'm listening." said Eda with her fists on her hips.

Maxwell looked up at Eda and let out a sigh as his body stopped shaking. A tear shed from his eyes.

"It was all Boscha's idea! She made me!" Maxwell finally blurted out.

Maxwell pointed at Boscha and Boscha's smug expression turned to wide eyed shock. Eda looked towards Boscha and the punk teens with an irate expression.

"Hey Cyclops! Is what my boy saying true? Did you bully him and his friends and dare him to go on that suicidal race, setting him up for what could've killed him? I saw you hit him. Admit it!" Eda said harshly.

"I don't know what your talking about?" Boscha lied.

Eda looked at her and back at the punk teens. She gave them a look that was so cold that fear went up their spines.

"We did it, but the race was all her idea." said one of the teens.

They nodded but hung their heads in shame. Eda looked at Boscha with such a cold look that Boscha was showing a bit of shocked fear.

"You little twerp. Your little attempt at revenge could've killed him, you did it once to Luz and King, and now to a little boy. You stay away from my little ones or your all going to wake up as ghosts. You hear me!" warned Eda raising her voice.

Eda suddenly had made her face form into what looked like the scariest form ever as her teeth turned to big and sharp fangs, her eyes turning red, and her face looked like it became demonic as she let out a demonic shriek like scream, causing Boscha and her punk teen friends to scream and run. After they ran, Eda's face morphed back into her normal face.

"And your parents are waiting to ground you!" shouted Eda.

Eda smiled for a bit and turned to Luz, King and Maxwell. Maxwell was hiding behind Luz and had his hands over his ears to block out all noise, his body shaking.

"Is it over?" Maxwell said hopefully.

He removed his hands from his ears and Luz patted Maxwell on his back gently to reassure him that it was over. He looked up and saw Eda looking right at them which he looked away and his body kept shaking. Eda walked towards them and stood in front of them. Eda saw the fear in him and knew it had to mean something.

"Maxie, are you alright? Anything broken?" asked Eda calmly.

Maxwell shook his head as a response and he was barely able to look down at Eda's high heeled shoes, let alone her face. Eda lets out a sigh and places her hand on Maxwell's chest.

"Maxie, calm down." Eda told him kindly. "I only gotten this harsh so I can sweat the truth out of those punks. I'm sorry I scared you."

"I'm sorry for what I did. I didn't mean what I did." said Maxwell starting to calm himself. "No offense but when it looked like you were about to give a smack down, it was scary."

"Luz and King explained everything to me." Eda said with a word of comfort.

Maxwell looked at Luz and King and they nodded with a grin to let him know that Eda was right about what she told him. He felt relieved.

"Thanks for doing what you did for me. I was really afraid you were going to kill me." said Maxwell starting to feel his fear fade.

"Well, the only way I'd punish you is if you did something like bring my house to life through a conjuring when I would tell you not to. The worst I'd do as a punishment would be have you clean the house from top to bottom." Eda explained.

"Just like Luz, Willow and Gus did before?" said Maxwell.

They all were silent for a moment and knew that Maxwell ether read their minds from their memories or that Luz told him about the event. Eda nodded once.

"I did see from a distance how you flew in the air like that, the way you showed up Boscha and her punk friends, that was epic." said Eda thrilled.

Maxwell was feeling as though he didn't expect Eda to tell him that, leaving him surprised yet confused but the feeling quickly dissipated.

"This goes for all of you. If anyone is giving you guys a hard time, come to me and I'll handle them. I don't want any of you to do something that could get you hurt. Understand?" Eda advised.

They nodded and Eda removed her hand from Maxwell as Luz and King felt better in knowing this and that Maxwell was in one piece. They started to walk off as they headed out. Maxwell was silent once more as they took notice to this. Maxwell reached out to take hold of Eda's hand but stopped as if something held him back. Eda saw this.

"Something on your mind, Maxie?" asked Eda.

Maxwell went silent as if he couldn't think. His heart felt like it was screaming "Tell Her Already" but he ignored the feeling.

"Nothing, it's no one." Maxwell lied. "I mean it's nothing."

Maxwell walked forwards ahead of them while still remaining close to them in the distance. They were confused to what Maxwell just said. They had one thing on their minds to what he meant. He was thinking of someone but who?

"Just tell her already! Tell her, you gutless little wimp!" Maxwell said to himself.
