So I was quick to hop aboard the Luzity ship and wound up thinking up a bunch of stuff I could do in stories. Here is the first in what I Hope will be a nice series of fics. For all intensive purposes this will definitely be non-canonical. Honest reviews and constructive criticisms are welcome.

Love Notion

It was less than beautiful out that morning. A harsh rain started the preceding night and lasted until well after sunrise. Amity had woken up to find scalding drops practically cascading from the sky. Even after she had showered, dressed, eaten breakfast and tidied up her bedroom, the rain still came down strong. She began to worry that it would mean canceling her plans for that afternoon.

Another hour passed and finally the sun began to peek out from between the clouds. As the afternoon began, the ground was drying up and Amity began to prepare to head out. She sent a message to Boscha, letting her know that she was on her way. The other witch responded quickly, including a sarcastic remark about how excited she was. Amity didn't care for that very much. It seemed unnecessary. They were only going to a potions lecture after all.

Now, Amity understood that it wasn't very appealing for some students to be going to school when it was normally a day off. As it was, Boscha didn't need to attend even though she was on the potions track. She was being forced to go to the lecture by her parents, who insisted it was necessary for her. Amity on the other hand, had decided to go to the lecture. This was because she was interested in the opportunity for more extra credit and also due to the fact that she wanted to learn what she considered to be an essential skill. The lecture would only be two hours long, certainly nothing to gripe about. All they had to do was sit, listen and take notes. Or in Amity's case, lots and lots of notes.

Another message arrived from Boscha, informing Amity that she was at their agreed upon meeting place. Amity gathered a few things she would need, including her notebook, a couple of pens, some water and a bag of Hex Mix. She packed them into her bag and hurried out to meet up with Boscha.

After a few minutes of walking, Amity was nearing the meeting point. She caught sight of Boscha quickly enough, the other teen standing in front of a magazine stand. However, she also saw two others with Boscha and she almost considered turning around and heading in a different direction. It was her older siblings, Edric and Emira, and they were busily chatting with Amity's friend.

"Hey Mittens, over here!" Her brother called, spotting her and waving her over.

Amity frowned at the mention of her unwanted nickname and reluctantly walked over to join them. She tried to not let herself be bothered by the fact that her siblings were there. As long as she kept herself calm and collected, then maybe they wouldn't cause her any trouble. Maybe.

"Boscha, good morning. Sorry if I kept you waiting. I didn't expect you to get here so soon."

"It's fine. I was hanging out with Ed and Em. They were here when I arrived."

"Yeah, I forgot that the new issue of 'Boiling Isles Inquirer' came out." Edric said. "And Em came to get the new issue of 'Covens Illustrated'."

"Covens Illustrated?" Amity repeated. "I didn't know that you read that, Emira."

"She does when it's the swimsuit edition. She'll stare at it for hours." Edric said with a smirk, earning a playful shove from his twin.

"So she only bothers to get the only one they publish that isn't worth reading." Amity noted.

"I don't need to read it." Emira said. "The pictures are what I like."

"Well I like the pictures in my magazine too." Edric said. "But the stories are the best part. Way more interesting than some pretty people in bathing suits. Right, Mittens?"

"I think that both of you are wasting your Snails on garbage. But it's your money, so do what you want." Amity said before stepping past the twins. "Now if you'll excuse us, Boscha and I have someplace to be. Let's go Boscha, I'm hoping to get a seat up front."

Amity began walking again, heading towards Hexside. Boscha however remained beside Edric and Emira. When she noticed that her friend wasn't following, Amity stopped and turned to face the three. Something about it was making her feel a bit anxious and she had a good idea why.

"Boscha, what are you waiting for? The lecture will be starting soon."

"Yeah, about that." Boscha said. "I'm not going. Edric and Emira invited me to hang out with them. And that sounds way better than going to class on a Sunday."

"What are you saying?" Amity asked. "Don't you have to go?"

"My dad wants me to go because he expects me to take over the family potion shop one day. It's not like I wanted to be on the potions track. But I don't want to do that or to go to the stupid lecture." Boscha replied. "I would rather do anything else with my free time. And you know that you can skip too, right? It's not like anyone expects you to be there."

"Yeah Mittens, it's not mandatory or anything." Edric pointed out. "Come with us and have some fun."

"You could afford to have a social life." Emira added. "And it would be nice if you spent some time with your big brother and sister."

"No thank you." Amity said a bit bitterly. "I planned on attending the lecture today and I'm still going, with or without you, Boscha. But since you decided to bail on me, you can forget about me sharing any of my notes with you."

Boscha snorted a little. "Wait, are you serious? You're going to take notes?"

"Oh, Mittens. I'm starting to worry about you." Emira said with faux concern.

"I think it may be too late for her, Em." Edric said, matching his twin's tone and placing his hand onto her shoulder. "Our little sister is too far gone."

The twins began snickering. Boscha let out another snort before starting to laugh along with them. Amity's face turned a little red as she started to scowl. She turned around abruptly to try and hide her frustration, but she could tell her reaction had already added to their amusement. It was all she could do to keep herself from snapping at them right then and there.

"I don't know why you think it's so amusing that I take my education seriously. Maybe it isn't what you'd do on a day off from school, but I like to learn new things. So I'm still going to the lecture. I just wish that I was able to go with a friend."

"Really?" Boscha sighed. "Is that how you're going to be about it? Look, it's not that I don't want to hang out with you. I just don't want to listen to some old geezer drone on and on. We can find something else to do later, after you're done wasting time."

Amity wanted to say something back, but she knew it wouldn't help the matter. She held her tongue and tried to focus on suppressing her feelings. Boscha may not have realized it, but Amity found what she did to be pretty hurtful. It she didn't get going, she wasn't sure how long it would be before something, or someone, tested what little patience she had left.

At that moment, another young witch that was passing by had overheard them. The teen, who was a little older than Amity, with short, red hair, freckles and rectangular glasses, rushed up to her. The sudden appearance along with the girl's excited demeanor startled Amity a bit. But it was what she said next that proved to be the real surprise.

"You're going to the potions lecture too? It's going to be so cool! Do you think they'll talk about love potions?"

"What?!" Amity blurted out. "NO! That's totally immoral and you should be ashamed of yourself for expecting that sort of thing!"

The girl flinched at the way Amity had reacted. Amity immediately felt bad for lashing out and tried to say she was sorry. But before she could, the girl muttered out her own apology and then left in a hurry. Amity only felt worse about it after seeing that. Especially since her little outburst had been witnessed by her siblings and Boscha.

"Okay, harsh." Edric stated. "You don't need to yell at people like that, Mittens."

"Yeah, the poor girl. Who was she anyway? Does anyone know?" Emira asked.

"Don't know or care." Boscha said. "I'm kinda with Amity. Whoever she is, she had it coming for just inviting herself into our conversation like that. And was she actually serious when she was asking about love potions? What, is she that desperate to get a date?"

"Probably." Edric answered. "Hey, maybe you should have gone with her, Mittens. Sounds like you two have something in common. You both have bad social skills!"

"Edric! Now you're the one who's being harsh!" Emira pointed out. "Even if it is true."

"It is not!" Amity spat. "I am done with this. You're all wasting my time!"

Boscha rolled her eyes. "Ugh, you're so sensitive. This is why no one at school thinks you're any fun."

Amity stormed away, rounding the nearest corner so she could leave the sight of the others. She could already tell that they were getting a kick out of her reaction and hated that she was giving them the satisfaction. The fact that Boscha seemed to be on their side hadn't helped at all. It was enough to make Amity feel a little betrayed.

No, not just a little. It was more than that. Boscha had been the one to ask Amity to go with her to the lecture in the first place. Amity had happily accepted the invitation, finding it to be a nice surprise. She had been looking forward to it for an entire week. Not only would it have been a great opportunity to spend time with Boscha, but also hopefully a new thing they could enjoy doing together. Instead, it looked like her friendship had taken a step backwards. Possibly more than that when she stopped to think about how she had acted.

She continued to walk, her thoughts distracting her along the way. It wasn't until she nearly bumped into another person that Amity realized that she wasn't heading in the right direction. After she apologized and excused herself, she took a quick look around to try and get her bearings. There were several stands set up along the street, all with differing and various kinds of items on display. As she was looking, she heard a familiar voice calling her name and she spotted someone waving to her from a stand not too far away. A stand that sold 'Human Collectibles'.

"Hi Amity!" Luz called again, seeing that she had gained the attention of the other teen. "What brings you to this area? I don't think I've seen you out here before."

"That's because I don't normally pass through here." Amity said. "I got a little distracted while walking and wound up here by accident."

"My grandpa believes that there is no such thing as an accident. He says everything happens for a reason. You may not have meant to come here, but maybe there's something here that you're meant to do!"

"Exactly!" Eda the Owl Lady exclaimed, suddenly popping out from behind the booth and startling both teenagers. "You're here because you are meant to own one of my rare items from the human realm! I have just the thing for you too. Wait here just a minute." She turned to step into her tent, pausing briefly to whisper to Luz. "Nice sales pitch, kid."

"It was?" Luz asked aloud with mild confusion.

Eda returned seconds later, holding something in the palm of her hand. She held it out so Amity could get a better look at the item. From what she could see, it didn't look like anything very interesting. It was just a set of five interlocked silver rings and nothing more. Eda could see that the teen wasn't 'wowed' by what she saw. But that was only because she didn't know what she was looking at; just what Eda wanted.

"Now I know what you're thinking. It looks like a piece of junk, right? Well it was actually once a key component in an ancient, human torture-device. Unfortunately, because humans have gotten so squeamish over the years, all of them were dismantled and most of the more dangerous parts were melted down. Even finding a little piece like this is pretty difficult. Normally, I'd ask for a hundred Snails for an item like this. But…since you know my apprentice, I'll cut you a deal and only ask eighty."

"Wait." Luz said. "Weren't you only going to sell that for fifteen?"

Eda quickly drew a magic circle, making Luz's hood fly up over her head, covering her eyes. "Nonsense!" She said. "A measly fifteen percent off just won't do for your pal here. The least I can do is twenty. Aw heck, I'll do just a bit more and take twenty-five percent off. That's only seventy-five Snails for a once in a lifetime opportunity. What do you say?"

"Hmm…no thank you." Amity answered, not even bothering to really think about the offer. "I didn't come out here to buy anything today. I'm actually on my way to Hexside for a lecture on potions fundamentals."

"Ugh. They're still doing that?" Eda asked with a trace of disgust in her voice. "I had to do that back when I was on the potions track. A little punishment I got for cutting the first week of classes. But you know that you don't have to go, don't you?"

"I know that. I want to go. It should be a nice skill to learn and the extra credit is always nice."

"Okay, but you're going to have to spend the first thirty minutes hearing about cauldron safety."

"Sounds like it should be very useful." Amity replied before turning her attention back to Luz. "It's a shame that you have to work today. Otherwise I'd ask you to come along. Since you're enrolled at Hexside now, you should be able to attend."

"I can?!" Luz asked with an excited gasp. "I want to go!"

"Seriously? You actually want to sit through that bore-fest?" Eda asked incredulously.

Luz nodded. "Uh-huh! Think about it, Eda. I could start being more helpful with your potion making! So can I? Please? It won't take long, right Amity?"

"Not at all." Amity piped up, starting to feel a little hopeful. "It only lasts for two hours. Luz can be right back afterwards."

"See? I'll be able to help pack everything up for the day! Pretty please, Eda?"

Eda sighed. "You really want to go that badly?"

"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Luz replied, nodding eagerly. "I really, really want to go!"

The Owl Lady shook her head, looking a bit disappointed. "Fine, go if it means that much to you. But I think that the two of you are wasting your time. I'd personally rather do anything else with my day. Now hurry up and get going before I change my mind."

Luz let out a quick squeal of joy and ran around the stand. She blurted out a 'thank you' as she left, taking Amity by the hand and leading her along. Eda watched them leave, feeling a little concerned for her student's enthusiasm over the lecture. Nobody should be that eager to go to school. But she let it go quickly enough as a potential customer arrived.

A few minutes later, Luz and Amity neared Hexside. The young witch was in much higher spirits now that she had someone joining her at the potions lecture. She was in such a good mood that she didn't even mind that Luz had still not let go of her hand. In fact, she found it to be rather enjoyable.

The two teens entered the school and Amity took the lead. She brought Luz to the cafeteria, where the lecture was to be held. Most of the tables had been removed and the room was now full of desks. A large cauldron sat beside a long table with many different ingredients set out neatly. Luz's curiosity made her wander over for a closer look while Amity sought out the best seats available up front. Once she found a good spot, she sat down and set out her notebook and pens, watching as Luz inspected all of the roots, herbs, stones and liquids. The human teen quickly took her seat beside Amity however as more students began entering and finding their own places to sit.

"This is so cool!" Luz whispered to her friend. "I've never even seen most of those things before!"

"Just wait until the actual lecture begins." Amity whispered in return.

As the room filled up a bit more with students, Miss Jenkinmeyer entered and took her place by the large cauldron. The elderly witch waited a little longer for any last-minute arrivals to enter and sit down before she began speaking. Amity set straight to work, diligently taking down anything she considered important while Luz paid close attention, her eyes shining with excitement.

-Approximately two hours later-

Amity and Luz exited the cafeteria, strolling slowly towards the school's front doors while a few of the other lecture attendees rushed past them. As the hallway cleared out, leaving the two alone, Luz moved a few steps ahead of Amity. She began walking backwards, a huge grin breaking out as she faced the other girl.

"I can't believe that I finally got to take a class here!" She exclaimed, resisting the urge to jump up and down with excitement. "You know, technically."

"Not 'technically'." Amity corrected. "It counts as a class; you do get credit for attending. Of course, you'll need to turn in a short essay on what you learned from the lecture."

"Wait, is that why you were taking notes? Should I have been taking notes?"

"If you like, I could make you a copy of mine." Amity offered. "I'll copy them right away, once I get home."

"That would be great!" Luz said. "If there's anything I can do to thank you, just let me know. I really owe you one for this!"

"Don't mention it, it's no trouble at all. And you don't need to worry about repaying me either. Although, I wouldn't mind some company for the walk home, if it's not asking you to go too far out of the way."

Luz gave a quick dismissive wave of her hand. "That's no biggie. I'd be happy to. I'm sure Eda won't mind if I take just a little longer to get back."

She turned to face forwards again and started to move at a quicker pace. As she reached the doors, she held one open for Amity. The young witch stepped outside and then drew a magic circle with her index finger. The door was enveloped in a pink glow, keeping it open for Luz while she passed through.

The two made their way towards Amity's home at a leisurely pace. For a few minutes they chatted about what they had learned from the lecture, Luz being the more talkative one. After she finished going over everything, quite literally, Luz began comparing actual potion making to what she had seen in the 'Good Witch Azura' books. It was a bit unexpected for Amity when the subject suddenly jumped like that, but she certainly didn't mind.

"Just remember, quality comes from patience and diligence." Amity advised. "If you actually do manage to figure out how to make one of Azura's potions, don't let yourself get so excited that you forget to follow the guidelines that we learned today."

"That's why I wouldn't dream of trying to unless you were there with me." Luz said just before suddenly letting out an excited gasp. "Ooh! I had an idea for our Azura book club! We can discuss stuff from the books that we can try to do with real magic!"

"We could…" Amity replied, a bit hesitantly. "But there's something that we need to talk about. I looked into it and…we may not be able to start the club at Hexside. At least not as soon as we'd like."

"What? Why not?" Luz asked.

"To start at club at Hexside, we would need a minimum of five members." Amity answered. "If the club served an educational purpose, that would be different. But since ours would be seen as more of a hobby-based group, it isn't as highly prioritized."

"Aw, no fair!" Luz pouted.

"But I do have a different idea for our club." Amity said. "We don't necessarily need to have the club at school. We could just meet at the library instead, even if we can't find any other members. It would also mean that we could start having meetings as soon as tomorrow, if that works for you. How does that sound?"

Amity suddenly found herself being embraced by Luz. The unexpected gesture was a little overwhelming for her, especially since Luz had a stronger grip than she would have guessed. But what really caught Amity off guard was the softness and warmth that was Luz's cheek pressing against her own. No one, not even her own siblings, had given her that sort of affection before and it quickly made her face flush red.

"L-Luz, our faces are t-touching!" She stammered.

"Whoops! Sorry!" Luz said, ending the embrace and taking a step back. "I just got so excited when you said that we could start our club tomorrow! Also, I didn't realize that personal space was that important to you. Sorry again."

"It's alright, I just wasn't expecting a hug." Amity replied, still blushing. "Not that I didn't enjoy it. It was…nice."

"I'll make sure to ask before I do it from now on, though. I wouldn't want to surprise you like that again."

She turned to resume walking. Amity needed to stop her however as she noticed that Luz was about to head the wrong way. Luz rubbed the back of her head sheepishly and let Amity take the lead. As they made their way further up the road, a familiar face came into view. Boscha was coming down from the other direction. She caught sight of Amity and raised one hand in greeting. But then she noticed Luz and made a face like she had just sipped from a glass of spoiled milk.

At first Amity thought Boscha's change of expression was because of her, from how she had behaved earlier that day. Thinking about it started to sour her own mood and she knew that if Boscha expected an apology, it wouldn't be until she gave one of her own first. It wasn't until the three-eyed teen stepped up to Luz that Amity began to figure out what was going on. Boscha situated herself between Luz and Amity, starting to try and guide the other witch away from the human teen.

"What are you doing, Boscha?" Amity asked, a bit annoyed by how Boscha was pulling her along.

"Because you're being followed." Boscha told her, not even trying to be discrete. "You did see the stray on your heels, right?"

"She isn't following me!" Amity said, pulling away. "We were walking together!"

"Together? With Luz?" Boscha asked, completely surprised. "Luz the human?"

"Yes, with me, Luz the human." Luz said, sounding listless. "It's nice to see you too, Boscha."

"What is this, some kind of prank? Tell me that it's a prank!" Boscha demanded. "You're trying to get back at me for not going with you to that dumb lecture, aren't you?"

Amity gasped, looking a bit offended. "As if I would be so petty! Luz and I are friends now! I asked her to join me because she wanted to go!"

"So, what, you'd rather hang out with her? Why would you want to want to spend time with a human? They lay eggs!"

"We do not!" Luz said, now also looking mildly offended. "And even if we did, would that really be such a big deal?'

"Ew, don't talk to me, human." Boscha spat, giving Luz a quick glare before looking at Amity again. "I think you need to make a choice, Amity. You can't be friends with both of us."

"Are you for real right now?" Amity snipped. "You know what? Fine! If you honestly mean it, then the choice is obvious. Luz is a good person who shares my love of learning magic. You on the other hand, invite me out to do something and then ditch me to go and hang out with my older siblings! I know who my real friend is between the two of you. Good day, Boscha!"

Amity took hold of Luz's hand and began walking away from Boscha. Luz struggled a little to keep up, not expecting to be suddenly pulled along. She wanted to say something to Amity, but since the other girl seemed to still be fairly cross, she decided to wait for her to calm down a bit.

Once a fair amount of distance had been put between them and Boscha, Amity slowed down a little. She kept a firm grip on Luz's hand while they continued walking together, her eyes fixed on the ground in front of them. Luz tried to figure out if it would be best to remain silent a little longer, or to try and see if Amity wanted to talk about what had just happened. It seemed to have hit a nerve and she wasn't sure if she should butt into something so personal. Even just asking if she was alright seemed like it may be pushing the wrong button given Amity's mood.

A couple more minutes went by and Amity's mood remained unchanged. Luz gave Amity's hand a gentle squeeze, her silent way of letting her know she was there for her. If Amity said nothing, she'd say nothing. But before it was time for them to part ways, she would just up and ask her if she wanted to talk about it. Seeing her friend like this was really starting to bother her.

They rounded a corner, now beginning to head away from the downtown area. Amity's gaze was still on the ground when a pair of shadows came into her view. Luz stopped walking when she saw the owners of the shadows. She started to get a bad feeling and just knew that Amity's bad mood was about to get worse. Her siblings seemed to have that effect on her, after all.

"Oh, my, gosh!" Emira exclaimed, a big grin on her face. "When did this start?"

"I dunno, Em. But if they're already going for long walks while holding hands, it must be serious!" Edric observed.

"What are the two of you going on about?" Amity asked coldly, not even bothering to look up at them.

"Oh nothing." Emira answered. "Except that the two of you make a cute couple. I'm actually a little jealous, by the way."

"C-couple?!" Amity blurted out, her face turning a deep shade of red. "We're not a couple!"

"Yeah, we're just friends!" Luz added, her own face equally red.

"So is that something friends usually do?" Edric asked, pointing to their still joined hands. "Because that looks more like something a couple does."

Amity immediately released Luz's hand, clenching her fists and glaring at the twins. "The two of you are reading too much into this!" She stated firmly. "We are not dating!"

"You don't need to hide it from us." Edric said. "We're not going to judge you."

"So when are you going to introduce your cute girlfriend to Mom?" Emira suddenly asked.

"How would I be able to do that when I don't have a girlfriend in the first place?" Amity countered.

"Aw, don't be like that. You'll hurt her feelings." Emira said, turning her eyes to Luz. "Be honest, doesn't it bother you that Amity said that?"

"Well…no, not really. I like Amity, but I don't like her, like her." Luz said. "I haven't spent a lot of time with her."

"Hold on, so you don't like spending time with her?" Edric asked, almost accusingly.

"No! I mean, I like spending time with her!" Luz answered quickly. "It's just that…"

"Well of course she likes to spend time with Amity." Emira cut in. "They were together when we bumped into them."

"That doesn't mean that we're dating!" Amity pointed out.

"Then why were you holding hands?" Edric inquired.

"Because they're sweet on each other, that's why." Emira said, sounding certain.

"The two of you are just going to keep saying things like that no matter how many times we say differently, aren't you?" Amity asked with an annoyed sigh.

"Yup." The twins answered simultaneously.

"Could you please stop it?" Luz asked nicely.

The twins looked at one another briefly and then nodded. Amity's mouth hung open for a moment in surprise. Then she gave her siblings a small scowl.

"Really? Just like that? Why don't you ever stop when I ask you to?"

"Because you're our little sister." Ed and Em replied.

Amity said nothing and just started walking again. The exasperated look on her face made the twins snicker quietly, but they kept any comments to themselves. They waved to Luz as she began following Amity before they started heading off on their own. After about half of a minute, Amity chanced a peek over her shoulder to see if they might be following them. To her relief she didn't see them. With any luck they'd be away from home for a little while, allowing Amity to enjoy some peace and quiet.

The two arrived at Blight Manor at last. Amity stopped just outside of the gates, turning to face Luz. For a moment she seemed to be thinking of something, as if having a debate in her own mind. Luz was wondering if something was still bothering the young witch. Then, Amity suddenly hugged her, leaving her completely surprised.

"Oh, um…thank you?" Luz said as the hug ended.

"No, thank you for joining me today. Also, I'm sorry for my siblings just now. As well as what went on with Boscha before that."

"I won't let it bother me. So, does that mean that we're even now?" Luz asked. "You know, for when I hugged you earlier?"

Amity let out a small laugh. "I suppose we are. Unless you plan to surprise me again."

"Maybe I will, maybe I won't." Luz giggled. "But anywho, what's the plan for our meeting tomorrow? What time should I go to the library?"

"I have a little work to do at the library first, so I'll be heading straight over after classes end for the day. Let's say we meet around four, just outside of my secret room."

"Sounds great! Maybe we could work on our essays together too!"

"Alright, I can do that. It would be nice to get to work on an assignment with someone who likes it as much as I do. I'd actually say we could do that now, but my mother isn't home yet and I shouldn't have anyone over without asking her permission first."

"No worries. I should really get back to Eda anyway. See you tomorrow, but before I go…" Luz pulled Amity in for another hug and then started to quickly head back. As she went, she looked over her shoulder, a playful smile on her face as she called back to Amity. "Now you owe me another one! Feel free to pay me back anytime!"

Luz broke into a run, knowing she may already be in trouble for not returning to Eda's stand as soon as she had said she would. She did feel a little guilty for how she had left Amity, knowing she had said she'd ask before hugging her again. But Amity had suddenly just given her a hug and she really felt like the girl could use another.

In an odd way, she found it kind of fun to surprise the other teen like that. Not that she planned to make a game out of it or anything. She would do it only when it seemed necessary, preferably if nobody was watching. She couldn't help but think of how Edric and Emira had teased them for 'being a couple'. There had been times when she had been teased before, but only for her nerdy hobbies. But this had been different. Very different actually, making her feel all tingly and a bit nervous for some reason that she couldn't seem to understand at all.

Should she talk to someone about it? If so, then whom? Trying to explain it to her mom over the phone would be really awkward. Eda would most likely not take enough interest in the matter or just write it off as nothing to worry about. Luz considered bringing it up with Amity, but felt that it was not something to bother her with. She decided to just push it to the back of her mind and worry about it later. For all she knew, it was nothing at all.

End of chapter 1.
