Takes place in episode 16 of the Owl House.
Let the chapter 16 begin.
The soft beginning to another day had come to the owl house as Luz, King, and Junior were sitting in the living room. The young human was busy trying to find a new spell glyph on a flower while King was on Luz's phone and eating a bat of chips. As fore Junior, he kept watch over his human friend in case something went wrong and he needed to step in.
"Come on, come on." Luz said as she held a magnifying glass over a flower, discovering a glyph. "Please work this time."
Luz then turned from the flower and drew the glyph on a sheet of paper, a circle with an upside down triangle with a line across the bottom, connected to a line heading down to a smaller circle at the bottom with a dot in the center and two other lines stick out at the top of the smaller circle. She gave the paper a tap and watched as the glyph glowed green and a pink flower grew from the smaller circle.
"YES!" Luz said with victory in her voice.
"And that makes 3 glyphs you can use." Junior said with a smile from his spot on the couch. "You're really getting good at finding them."
"Yep, you could saw my skills as blossoming." Luz joked as the flower was a type of a blossom.
"You think that's good? Check this out." King said as he showed Luz her phone, the human herself getting up from the floor to see. "Two deadly warriors in a fight to the death!"
The two "warriors" turned out to be two kitten being adorable in a cat video King was watching.
"Oh yeah, it's a real blood bath." Junior sarcastically said as he and Luz looked towards the eyeball doorway, the portal between the demon realm and Earth.
"I see you get enough Wi-Fi to look at cat videos with the portal open.
"Yes, senseless violence you can see anytime! Destroy yourselves for your god, Death!" King cheered at the video, completely oblivious to the cuteness of it.
"My father is not their god." Junior quickly said.
"And I regret teaching you about Earth's internet." Luz said with narrowed eyes.
"Please, what's so wrong with your planet's internet?" King asked as he looked to Luz before looking back to the phone. "By the way, did you know Earth is flat, not round?"
"False information." Luz said as she took her phone from King.
"You can't believe everything you read online, King." Junior said as Luz got a text message on her phone.
Luz suddenly became nervous, gulping loudly as she began to text a reply to her mother but she couldn't think of any words to say to her. So she just opted to replying with a thumbs up emoji.
"Good enough." Luz said as King and Junior looked over to the screen.
"Severed hand, excellent response." King said.
Junior pinched the part of his skull where his nose would be, shaking his head at King's cluelessness.
"I take it your mother doesn't technically know about all this? You becoming a witch in another dimension?" Junior asked her as Luz flopped on the back of the couch.
"No, she doesn't." Luz said as she put a pillow over her face.
"But you'll have to tell her eventually." Junior said to Luz.
"But what do I say to her? I can't just say "Hey mom! I need to tell you something, I lied! I'm not at boring Reality Check Camp, I'm in another dimension training to be a witch. Turns out demons and magic are real!"" Luz said with a fake smile and cheery attitude, pacing close to the couch before she became sad again and slumping to the floor. "She would kill me then ground me!"
"Eh, she would be freaked out by the Boiling Isles anyway. Most humans can handle this big a change to their world view, so if you look at it like this, you're protecting her and her fragile mind." King said with a smile.
"Hmm, the demon near my shoulder makes a good point." Luz said with firm eyes.
"I hate to say it but that does make sense. Most mortals, if they're not religious, conspiracy theorists, or cultists, would freak out at the concept of the supernatural." Junior said, begrudgingly agreeing with King.
"Thank you for your back up, Junior." King said as he took Luz phone back to watch more videos.
Suddenly, the door opened and Hooty greeted Luz with a cheery attitude.
"Hoot Hoot Luz! IT's time to fill that wonderful head of your with some good old-" Hooty said while extending his neck before he began retching, just like he does with the mail, before vomiting several books in on the floor. "Delicious knowledge!"
Stepping in from the door frame was Gus with an uncomfortable look on his face, having watched Hooty's disgusting show.
"Please hurry, Luz." he said with a tense look on his face before Willow popped her head in with the same look.
"The more we watch, the more uncomfortable this is." Willow quickly said, wanting Luz to come so they can get away from Hooty.
"Hoot! Hoot!" Hooty hooted as Gus and Willow leaned back.
Luz gave them a small chuckle, finger gunning them as she got up from the floor, and gave King a quick kiss on the forehead.
"See you guys after school." Luz said as she walked to the door.
"Have fun, Luz!" Junior said as he waved goodbye to Luz.
"Oh, and make sure, King doesn't watch cat videos all day!" Luz said as she reached Gus and Willow, picking up her school books.
"Got it!" Junior said with a thumbs up.
"I will do what I wish!" King shouted as he pointed towards Luz, before turning back to the phone and playing a new video.
It was simply a black cat grasping at it's tail, trying to catch it, before running after it in circles like a dog.
"Why do people even watch this stuff?" Junior asked out loud but got no answer.
"Ha! What a dummy." King said before he looked towards his own tail, trying to catch it like the video but gave up after two tries. "Uh, too much energy."
"Maybe you're just too lazy." Junior commented before he snatched the phone out of King's hands. "Time to fix that with some exercise."
For the next hour or so, Junior ran around the house as King chanced after him to get the phone. He ran into the kitchen, upstairs, outside of the house, and even onto the roof. The little demon was really determined to get that phone back.
"It shall be mine!" King proclaimed as he climbed up towards the roof.
"I'm not going to let you rot what little brain cells you have left." Junior said as he was sitting on the roof with the phone in his pocket.
"They're my brain cells! I will do what I please with them!" King said as he almost made it to the roof.
As Junior watched King continue to climb, he was completely oblivious to Eda flying up next to him on her staff. She had a smirk on her face at Junior's devious side towards King, like she was a proud mother. Though it was now time to tell Junior about something important she got in the mail a little while ago. She took a deep breath and let Junior know she was here.
"HEY KID!" she shouted at him, making Junior jump in surprise as his head actually popped off.
"Oh God and biscuits!" Junior shouted as he scrambled to grab his head, catching it just in time before turning it to Eda. "Eda?!
"Yep, yep." Eda said as she held up a letter, already open. "Not sorry to interrupt you little thing with King but we've got plans tonight."
"What kind of plans?" Junior asked as he put his head back down.
"Chaperoning Grom!" Eda said with excitement.
"Grom?" Junior asked as King finally got up to the roof and ran to Junior to get the phone. "What's Grom?"
Without even looking away, Junior held King back with his foot and listened to Eda as she explained "Grom."
"Well, in short, part of Grom is a dance Bump holds for the students so they can have fun and relax but that not the full, interesting story." Eda said as she drew a spell circle, showing Junior a visual story. "Grom, which is short for Grometheus the fear-bringer, is a monster that lives under Hexside that was trapped under the school long ago. Every year, it tries to escape and lay waste to the town. To prevent this, a strong student has to defeat it on Grom but it is not easy task."
"And why is that?" Junior asked, interested and a bit worried about this Grometheus.
"Because Grom has the ability to read your mind and shape shift into your greatest fear, aiming to use that to gain it's freedom." Eda said as King finally got past Junior's foot.
"The magic brick is mine!" King said as he ran at Junior again.
He was severely denied as Junior picked him up and held him by the collar, keeping him away from him.
"Holy shit." Junior said in shock, wondering how this started and who the unlucky person would fight the Grom.
"Yeah. And you and I are invited to chaperone!" Eda said as she Junior scooped up and flew into her room.
"But why me?" Junior asked Eda as she put him, and King, down.
"Cuz you're the prince of death, you'll excite the students, and you can provide protection for whoever the poor Grom Queen or victim is Knowing your!" Eda said as she smile to him. "Now come on, with the human clothes I have and your sense of fashion, we're gonna dress to impress!"
"Alright, I guess that makes sense." Junior said as he put King down but kept Luz's phone in pocket.
After that, Junior and Eda had scrounged through all the clothes she had scrounge from her portal, washed them so they didn't stink, and were now trying on them on to see what looks nice on them. After hours of searching, Eda chose a rather mannish brown suit that King was tailoring(?) as Junior had found about 4 options and was looking them over to decided.
Option 1: A black suit with a white collared shirt and no tie that would fit him well.
A standard look for a chaperon and he looked good in it too. Though he hoped he wouldn't give off a lady killer vibe with the girls at the dance.
Option 2: Some old green royal robes.
Something that would pay tribute to his royal standing but it was giving off an "I'm better than you" vibe.
Option 3: A white collared, short sleeve shirt with a dark gray vest and matching slacks.
Another "lady killer" look but not as much as the first black suit.
Option 4: A white shirt with black slacks, the simplest of all of them.
It was the bare minimum but he didn't want to seem like he wasn't trying to look proper for such a formal and dangerous event.
"What to chose? What to chose?" Junior asked himself as he looked over the suits. "Hmm, maybe the first suit but the third half suit looks just as good."
"Personally, I kind of like the third one." King, who walked up behind Junior said.
"Maybe but I may change the shirt to a long sleeve. I don't have much muscle to show off for a short sleeve." Junior said as he rolled up his sleeves to show his bony arms.
"Eh, you'll be fine. Just gussy up the small amount of hair you have and they won't even notice your arms." King said with a wave of his hand.
"Still, I'm going with a long sleeve but sticking with choice number 3." Junior said as picked up the dark gray vest and matching slacks, he could just wear his own shoes to Grom.
"I'm home." Luz called out, getting home from school.
"We're in Eda's room." Junior called out as Luz poked her head in.
The human noticed Eda's sharp looking brown suit and Junior holding a nice little ensemble in his hands.
"What's with clothes, guys? Go on to a fancy, dark resturant?" Luz asked as she walked in and sat against Eda's nest.
"Actually, no. Junior and I have been asked to chaperone Grom tonight." Eda said as she smile as waved a hand through her silver hair. "We gotta look sharp."
"Junior as a chaperone?" Luz asked in surprise as she looked to him. "Eda, I can get but you? You're the same age as me!"
"I was just as surprised as you." Junior said to her as King jumped back to his spot behind Eda, pulling out a flyer.
"And Gus asked me to be his co-emcee for the fight! Gonna make that seem like a fun bath instead of a blood bath." King said as the posted showed him and Gus back to back with their arms crossed and wearing sunglasses.
It said "Grom with your Grommentators!"
"Oh by the way, have they announced the victim yet?" Eda asked as she put her hands on her hips.
"Yeah. It's Amity." Luz said, a little sad for her friend.
"Amity?!" Junior asked in shock.
"Yeah and she's freaking out over it." Luz said as she looked away. "I kinda wish I could help her. Like take her place."
Junior just stared at her in shock as Eda and King hysterically laughed at her.
"Awesome joke, Luz!" King said while pointing her as Eda held her stomach in pain.
"Yeah, it is." Eda said as she stood up straight and wiped her eyes. "Good joke kid but this is something a bit higher level than what you can do. You're a human and humans are fragile."
"Hey, I am not fragile!" Luz said as she stood up and Junior got over his shock.
"And not all humans are fragile, trust me. If you met my mother, you'd surround or be put at her feet in 5 minutes." Junior said, supporting Luz and denying that humans are as fragile as Eda thinks.
"Yeah, I may not know who she is but she sounds terrifying and strong!" Luz said as she walked up to Eda. "You don't know everything about me! I've been learning more and more spell since I got here, I can totally take on the Grom!"
Luz did a heroic pose with her fists on her hips and turned away from Eda, full on confidence that she could beat the Grommethus.
"There's a terrifying spider in your hair." Eda quickly said as she smirked and crossed her arms.
"Nope, I will not fall for it." Luz said as she didn't believe Eda.
"Time out." Junior quickly said, freezing time as he reached and pulled the spider off Luz's head and tossed it outside. "Time in."
Time resumed as Luz marched out of the room, not knowing that the spider that was in her hair was gone and Eda and King from at their fun being gone.
"You are no fun, Junior." Eda said as she looked at him.
"And you were being jerks. You may not know this but some people are sensitive about their limits and teasing them will only make things worse." Junior said as he left began to leave the room to change but not before a new thought came to mind. "Hey, Eda, do you think Bump would mind if I invited a guest with me?"
"I don't care, he probably won't either." Eda said with a wave of the hand.
"Okay, thanks." Junior said as he went to the bathroom, to not only change in private but to also get in contact with the guest he would be bringing.
The change only took a couple of minutes, Junior was now ready to chaperone Grom. A crisp white long sleeve dress shirt under a dark gray vest that was buttoned up with matching dark gray slacks and a black belt. He couldn't find any dress shoes, so he had to stick with his gray sneakers.
"Alright, let's see if I can get her." Junior said as he lifted his hand, focusing his magic to try and create a connection with the girl he wanted to invite to Grom.
After a minute of concentration, his connection was made and he had formed a small mirror like object floating above his hand. Inside of the mirror was a girl with gray eyes and short blonde hair with bangs held with a black headband. This was his sister, Minimandy or Minnie for short as, as she was currently practicing her ballet in her room with an old record player providing music for her.
"Hey, Minnie." Junior said into the small mirror as Minnie stopped dancing and turned to the him, finding him on a small circular like mirror floating above her bed.
"Brother!" Minnie said with a bright smile as she ran to the record player, cutting it off before running to the mirror Junior was on. "It has been so long, how are thee? Are thine lessons well?"
"I'm fine, thanks for asking and my lessons are going well too. I just want to call and make sure you're okay." Junior said with a shy smile before moving on. Plus, I wanna ask for a favor."
"A favor, brother?" Minnie asked.
"Yeah, a favor." Junior said before he spent the next few minutes explaining Hexside School and it's Grom Night.
"Hmm, I see." Minnie said as she nodded, taking in the information as she smiled at Junior. "I would be honored to be your guest."
"Great, just let dad know and he'll make a portal for you." Junior said with a smile.
"But brother, when it ends, I..." Minnie said as she began to blush. "I wish for a dance with thee."
"A dance? With me?" Junior asked in surprise, gesturing to himself.
"Yes, I wish to dance with thee." Minnie said with a smile to him.
"I. . guess that's okay." Junior said as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Wonderful! Then I shall see you soon, brother." Minnie said with a wave of the hand.
"See you soon, Minnie." Junior said as he waved back to her, cutting of the connection and making the small mirror shatter to nonexistence.
A few hours later, with only one hour before Grom begins, everyone was about ready as a portal opened in the den. And it was a portal that only Junior could recognize.
"Whoa! With the?!" Eda said as she got up and got her staff ready before Junior held his arm out for her to stop.
'She's here.' Junior thought as he got up from the couch.
From the portal came someone Junior knew well, Minnie. Her dress attire was her hair in an elegant bun, purple eye shadow, black lipstick, and a purple dress that went down to ankles while wearing black flats . She gave Junior a bright smile as Eda rose a brow at her.
"Who?" Eda let out before Junior stepped towards her.
"Eda, I'd like you to met my guest that I wanted to bring to Grom." he said as he gestured to her. "Say hello to my half sister, Minnie."
Minnie smiled at them as she performed a curtsy to Eda and King, show how much of a pleasure it was to meet them.
"Tis a pleasure." she said before standing straight.
"So, this is the multi talented sister you told us about." Eda said as she put her staff on her shoulder.
"She doesn't look like much." King said as he walked up to Minnie, looking her over. "She doesn't even look like a demon, she's no different then Luz and all her human parts."
"Though thou art adorable I would not test me, false demon." Minnie said as she looked down to him.
"False demon?!" King shouted in offence! "I will have you know that I am the king of demons and you will respect-"
A sharp point suddenly appeared close to King's neck as he stopped shouting for a moment, seeing Minnie's gray eyes turn green and reptilian.
"Allow me to repeat, do not test me." Minnie said as she kept her smile but the malice as clear in her voice.
"Yes ma'am." King said, shaking in his collar as he stepped away from Minnie.
Junior chuckled at how quickly King submitted to defeat before he walked up to Minnie and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Leave him alone, Min. King just gets a big head sometimes." Junior said as Minnie turned to him, returning her eyes to normal and retracting a gray tentacle with a sharp tip.
"Alright, brother." Minnie said with a smile.
"Hey, guys. What's with all the commotion?" Luz asked as she came down stairs, showing them her weird tux tutu combo.
"Hey, Luz. Looking good." Junior said with a smile before gesturing to his sister. "I'd like you to meet Minnie. My sister, she's gonna be my guest to Grom."
"It is a pleasure to meet you." Minnie said to Luz, being told of her already by Junior.
"Nice to met you too." Luz said as they shook hands.
"Alright. Now that everyone's ready, let's get going." Junior said as the group assembled outside and prepared to travel to Hexside.
As Luz and King rode with Eda in her staff and Junior summoned his scythe to fly, Minnie decided to show her powers to them and formed a pair of gray bat like wing to fly beside them.
"Dude! Your sister is awesome!" Luz said in awe of Minnie's wings.
"Yeah. Yeah she is." Junior said as he smiled towards her, getting a smile back.
The flight to Hexside was calm and the sight of Grom when they arrived, things were in full swing. Students were dancing, laughing, and eating like it was just a normal dance. Even a strange turtle creature being the shiny disco ball.
Junior and Minnie were watching from the side, just talking as the students danced the night away...at least until the fight against Grom started.
"This. . Is nice." Junior said with a small smile.
"Aye. Tis a sight to behold." Minnie said as she saw a few boys eyeing her, blushing at how cute she was but disappointed that she was here with Junior. "But brother, "Art though nervous for Amity?"
"A little, yes. She's one of the toughest witches in this school but I still worry she might not be powerful enough to beat this Grom thing." Junior said as he worried for his friend.
"Do not worry. She will be fine." Minnie said, holding his hands and gazing at him. "Fear is horrible. But I hath conquered mine long ago. If she's as strong as we hath been lead to believe. . She will too"
"I hope so." Junior said before the announcement came and the Grom Queen would be announced by Gus.
"Excuse me, ladies, gentlemen, and assorted demon! The main event of Grom is about to begin!" Gus said, in a grayish green suit and magenta bow tie, standing on a stage in the school gym with a microphone in hand. "And fair warning, the first 3 rows are reserves as "The Splash Zone."
Students and chaperones, except Eda, Junior, and Minnie, cheered as they made their way towards the bleachers on either side of the gym.
"You friend is rather talented." Minnie said as she and Junior saw on the fourth row of the left side.
"Yeah, being a part of the Illusion Track gave him a sense of presentation." Junior commented as Gus commented on Principal Bump throwing people in detention for having too much fun.
Junior sort of tuned it out as he kept his eyes on the gym floor, waiting for Amity to face Grom and possibly help her if she can't do it.
"Now, it's time to introduce our Grom Queen." Gus said as Minnie shook Junior to tune him back in, pointing to the stage. "You know her, you possibly love, and it's impossible to have not seen her by now, Luz the human!"
"Luz?!" Junior said in shock and worry as he saw a spot light shine over Luz at the entrance to the gym. "She was actually able to switch with Amity?!"
"It appears so." Minnie said in worry, not quite knowing the extent of Luz's abilities to have enough faith in her.
Gus then saw a podium on spider legs walk up to him, with a big button on top before he pushed it down with his fist. The gym floor began to split down the middle, causing students to gasp and get excited as a battlefield with columns appeared from the gym floor and two walls of weapons rose to both sides of Luz.
"At least she can pick a weapon." Junior said with a bit of hope, glad to see Luz grab a flair and put the ice glyph on it. "Let's see what she could do."
She gripped her weapon with a vice as she walked forward, noticing black sludge moving around her feet.
"There you are Gromma ramma, you don't look so tough." Luz said as the black sludge, now revealed to be the Grometheus, began transforming into 3 strange man faced creatures with cat bodies.
"Luz, please help!" "I want to be human again!" "Help me change back!" they shouted as they began walking towards Luz.
"Urh, so creepy." Luz said before she swung her flail and slammed it into the ground, causing the paper glyph attached to summon a wall of ice to launch the cats into the air.
"Oh! Object enchantment? Quite the skill." Minnie said with impressiveness in her voice as they continued to watch Luz fight off the Grom in the form of her fears, hearing the crowd cheer for her.
"That's new to me but I'm glad she can do it. Make my worry disappear." Junior said as he held Minnie's hand for comfort.
Minnie blushed at the gestured and leaned into Junior, resting her head on his shoulder as they continued to watch Luz fight off Grom.
She was doing great and the students were cheering for her as she defeated everything the Grometheus could throw at her. Even Principal Bump was impressed.
"Luz has lasted longer than expected but what form will Grom take next to try and best her?" Bump asked into the microphone.
"Come on Grom, lets end this!" Luz shouted as the Grom rose behind her, taking a form VERY similar to Eda made of black sludge.
This was noticed by everyone as some turned to Eda to compare.
"UH!" she groaned as she try to cover her face with her hair.
"Not even going to question that." Junior quickly said as he kept his eyes on Grom, watching for what it might do.
The fear feaster launched a tentacle to Luz's forehead, causing her eyes to glow as it read her mind for her greatest fear.
"Oh no." Junior let out as the Grom began to change form and become...the eyeball doorway between dimensions? "Huh?"
Everyone was confused by this and watched as the door slowly opened to reveal an adult that look a lot like Luz, with darker skin, wearing glasses, and in a blue nurse's outfit.
"Mija?" it asked as Luz gained a look of shock and horror.
"Brother, doth thou think-" Minnie said to Junior.
"Yeah, I do. Luz's mom has no idea she's here and the Grom is using that fear, the fear of what Luz's mom will think if or when she finds out Luz is here on the Boiling Isles." Junior said as he saw Luz back away from her "mother," dropping her flail as she tried to explain everything. "She think's it's her actual mother, she can't focus!"
"Mija, have you been lying to me?!" her "mother" said as he eyes glowed bright white, spinning like a top before her lower half reformed into a four legged monster made of black sludge with 4 eyes and the horns of a devil!
It roared to Luz as she stared at it in great fear, frozen like a deer in headlights! Luz couldn't take this, couldn't take the fear of telling her "mother" the truth out of fear and with no other option, she choose to run away.
"Ah, I can't do it! My fear is too scary!" Luz said as she ran into the hall and out of the school.
"Where are you going?! Don't you dare run away from your mother, mija!" Grom said through the form of Luz's mother, right behind her as her fear was so delicious, it couldn't let her escape now!
"Luz!" Junior shouted as he shout as he got up from his seat, turning to Minnie. "Minnie, I-"
"If you wish to help her, go. And I would be honor accompany you." Minnie said as she stood up, smiling at him.
As Junior was thankful for his sister, the students and principal were assembling outside of the gym to look towards where Luz and Grom ran off.
"Oh no, Grom has escaped!" Bump said as the students around him began to panic, worried that Grom would destroy the town if Luz didn't defeat it.
"Coming through!" Eda shouted as her, Junior and Minnie rushed past them, running towards the door to help Luz with the Grometheus with Amity running behind them as fast as she could.
When they caught up with Luz and Grom, they saw that she was cornered near a cliff over the ocean. She had nowhere to go!
"Luz!" Junior said in worry as he summoned a blue fireball.
Eda was right behind her second students and conjured a fireball of her own while Minnie used her powers to create a bow and arrow with a glowing green tip, aming their attacks at Grom.
"Attack!" Minnie said as they fired all at once, combining their attack and causing an explosive attack to strike the fear creature.
The beast recoiled in pain as Amity ran out to Luz, wanting to get her out of there before the Grometheus recovered.
"Luz!" Amity said as she took her hands.
"Amity?" Luz asked as she was taken out of her fear.
"Luz, I'm so sorry for this. It was wrong of me to trade with you." Amity said as she let go of Luz and turned to Grom, walking to it. "This was my trial to face."
Once the beast was able to recover, Grometheus quickly captured Amity and used a tentacle to read her mind for her fear. It only took a second before it let got of her and shifted it's form to a vague image of a person. It wasn't monstrous but it didn't do anything life threatening, it just reached into Amity's Pocket to pull out a folded note of some sort for someone. And then tore up into two pieces right in front of Amity..
"Her fear." Minnie said as she lowered her bow, turning to Junior. " It was rejection."
"Whoa." Junior let out in surprise, not knowing someone as confident as Amity could fear something like this. "I guess when you look it, she's still a person and rejection is something no one can really brave through."
Luz quickly went to Amity as the Grom receded, picking up the note to read as the writing was still in tact.
""Luz, will you go to Grom with me? -Amity" You...You wanted to ask me to Grom?" Luz asked Amity as she slowly began to blush, Amity doing the same as she turned away.
"Y-Yes, I did." the green haired girl answered. "And like I told you earlier at school, it's embarrassing to fear something as stupid as this. Of being rejected."
"Embarrassing? Rejected? Amity, who says I would've said "no?" Luz asked as she smiled a bit towards her.
"What? You...would've said "yes?"" Amity asked as she turned to Luz, her blush getting brighter.
"Of course, I would've loved to take you to Grom. Or..." Luz said as she held out her hand to Amity. "I WOULD, if you let me."
Amity smiled at the offer, reaching out to accept her hand before the Gromethus took on a new few, it's true form of a beast with a large black maw and hideous body. With their fear gone, it was about to rampage to get that fear back!
"Well, in that case, may I have This dance?" Amity asked Luz as she took her hand.
"It would be my pleasure." Luz said as she pulled Amity close, smiling bravely as they faced the Grometheus.
"Wait, are they seriously-" Eda said as they watched the two girls.
"Yeah, they are. And we shouldn't interfere." Junior said as he held his arm out to Minnie and Eda. "This is their fight AND their dance."
"Agreed." Minnie said as she unsummoned her bow.
The trio stood on the side and watched as Luz and Amity danced while facing the fear beast, performing a dance of grace, passion, and...blossoming love. During the dance, Amity was able to summon an abomination with her feet and have it form as she and Luz held hands. Luz then flourished some of her newest plant glyphs and stuck it on the abomination. The Grometheus then charged at them as they hopped off the abomination, launching it towards the fear creature. Not knowing it was a threat, the Grometheus swallowed the abomination whole and continued it's charge but stopped as it felt strange. As if something was growing inside it.
"It is going to explode!" Minnie said as Luz and Amity finished their dance while the Grometheus burst into pieces, leaving a large beautiful tree in it's place.
"Holy shit." Junior said softly before he gazed at Luz and Amity, seeing two identical crowns appear on their heads.
"Marvelous." Minnie said as she stared at the beautiful tree, seeing glowing leaves in the moonlight.
"And there you have it, folks! Your Grom Queens, Luz and Amity, have made a happy ending for this year!" King said as he jumped next to them, still emceeing for a hidden crowd. "Let's give them a hand!"
On cue, several students had come out from the forest, hiding and watching the fight with Grom, before they cheered for the two girls.
"How long were they there?" Junior mumbled as he, Eda, and Minnie watched them crowd Luz and Amity before lifting them over themselves.
"Not sure but they appear overjoyed." Minnie said as they carried them back to Hexside, celebrating and cheering for then.
"They always throw a huge celebration for the one who beats Grom, it's a tradition." Eda said as the crowd past them and she began to follow. "Come on, the party is really gonna begin after this."
"Actually, why don't you go without us?" Junior asked his teacher as he took Minnie's hand. "I think Luz will be fine for the rest of the night and I have a promise to keep to Minnie."
"Oh yeah. You promised her something, right?" Eda asked as Junior nodded to her. "Well then, don't let me stop you."
As Eda and the crowd walked away, Junior walked a bit away from Minnie and held his hand out to her. This may not have been the greatest of places for her dance but with the beautiful tree and the wonderful moonlight, a dance with Minnie would be perfect for this moment.
"This may not be the best place for it but may I have this dance?" he asked with a smile to her.
