(Amity calm down it's alright it's O; Hey Mittens; Amity opens her eyes wide open and her face turns red and turns around too see Edric) (Ah ah Ed what are you doing here? Amity says with a Nervous chuckle oh nothing just on my way to school just like you; That's good where's Emira? Oh Em is taking a sick day so it's just me and you today.) (That's nice; yes I guess it is but it's not only me and you Is it? I don't know what you mean oh so no Luz kisses? Edric started laughing as Amity Opened her mouth wide open and her face turning more red than Edric thought possible) (Oh Mittens don't be embarrassed Edric says in a Sarcastic tone I won't tell anyone especially not Luz you're secret it's safe with me I promise Edric laughs and walks off to amitys shock her mouth still wide open) (1 hour later…;outside The abomination class room) (Amity you're finally here; Luz runs up and hugs Amity; oh ah amitys face lights up red Hey luz it's good to see you again say did you see or talk to Edric?) (Yeah I did actually; WHAT! Amity shreked um um what did he say? Are you ok Amity? Ah yeah I'm fine who's Amity? Ha ha; ok? He said you'd probably he late and that's it) Oh that's all huh that's good; you sure you're alright Amity Luz says in a concerned tone; oh yeah lets just get in too class it's you're first abomination class right? (Yup and I'm nervous; it's alright Luz I'll guide you through it.) During class Amity and Luz reach for some abomination ingredients and accidentally touch hands causing Amity to panic and to kick a cauldron and almost knock it over; 1 hour after class; Luz and amity go to talk to
principal bump and go To The owl house early about 10:00 am to work on Their abominations. _ (Now a Copied version of Chapter 1 so people know what's going on) _ (So this story was inspired by the GF DVD commentary, in which Stan implies he was briefly married to Eda in Vegas. I thought the concept was funny, so I just rolled with it, feel free not to point out inconsistencies between the commentary and the story. That said, I hope you like the story, let me know what you think! (The morning sun shone down on the Owl House, and forest dew was heavy in the air. The woods sang with the cacophony of chattering, demonic birds, yelling at each other about pop culture theories and ships. Inside, Luz Noceda and Amity Blight sat on the extravagant, red sofa, pouring over reading materials, for their studies at Hexside.) ("So, I've just had my first class in the Abomination track..." Luz said.) (Amity didn't need to be reminded. She had been in that class. Their hands had touched, reaching for the same ingredient, and Amity had almost knocked her cauldron over.) ("... but I still don't really get how I can translate it to my glyph magic..." Luz lamented. "I mean, when I was pretending to BE an abomination, people kept talking about ingredients and dissecting me, but you can just summon them out of nowhere with your crazy spell circles!") (Amity giggled at how cute Luz was when she was frustrated. "The ingredients are an important part, I just always keep some abomination formulae on me, for emergencies." She took a small cloth pouch from her satchel and, with her other hand, drew a spell circle. Luz marvelled, wide-eyed as she noticed faint sparkling particles drift from the pouch to the circle, and a miniature abomination rose from the floorboards, by the
sofa. "Maybe there's some kind of... summoning glyph, that could make up for the spell circle?") (Amity could see Luz's ability to focus failing, as she picked up the miniature abomination and gleefully fussed over it. "Aww! Aren't you just the cutest little guy?" She cooed poking its belly with her finger. "What do you say? You got a glyph for me? Huh?") (The abomination moaned and waved its arms around, in what could have just as easily been fondness or physical distress, it was very hard to tell, with them... Before the girls could investigate further, the study session was interrupted by the arrival of Eda, announced in advance by the clicking of her heels, on the wooden floor.) (The Owl Lady entered the living room, inspecting several small sheets of green paper, with King in tow.) ("Luz, I was going through your things, in search of valuables, as I'm often known to do." She explained unapologetically. "And I found these." She showed the paper to Luz and Amity, and the former realised it was the money that had been in her pocket when she arrived on the Boiling Isles. "Obviously I know from experience how smokin' old folks can be..." She caressed her flowing, silver hair, fondly. "But as your mentor, I feel it's my duty to tell you that these guys are fours, at best." She discarded the money on the floor, on her way to the kitchen.) (King picked up one of the notes. "Yeesh, and that's being generous! How much forehead does this guy need!?") ("Ew! That's not why I have those!" Luz called after Eda, defensively. "That's money!") (Eda was back in the room, when Luz had barely finished saying the word. "Money?" She remarked in surprise.)
(Eda snatched the note from King, and gathered the others, from the floor. "I didn't know humans used money! I thought they just fought each other for all the best stuff!") ("Where do you guys get your knowledge of humans from...?" Luz smirked.) ("I don't see what's so exciting about it." Amity said, to Eda. "It's hardly acceptable currency on the Boiling Isles.") ("No..." Eda acknowledged, standing up straight and inspecting the notes. "But knowing that humans use money, opens up an entirely new channel of business for me." She frowned thoughtfully. "Wait, did I say business? I meant crime.") (Eda produced her key to the human realm, from under her dress and, with a touch of the eye-shaped button, summoned the door.) ("Alright girls, we're going on a field trip to the human realm." Eda announced, turning on them, dramatically. "You're coming as our guide." She pointed at Luz, then redirected her finger at Amity. "And you're coming in case Luz needs someone to hug, bond with and do all that other gross, mushy stuff she does.") (Amity immediately turned pink. "Wh... what? Why would...? I mean, I don't want to...!" Amity babbled, frantically.) (Luz put a calming hand on Amity's shoulder and smiled, reassuringly. "It's okay if you don't want to come. I get it, if you wanna stay and finish your homework.") (Of course, Amity's fear was that she'd seem over-eager to bond with, hug and 'do mushy stuff' with Luz, she still very much wanted to do those things. Amity swallowed her anxiety. "No, it's fine... I'm sure a trip to the human realm would be very enlightening. Also, I feel weird being in the Owl House if you're not here...")
("Hey, what about me?" King called up to his much taller associates. "Does the human realm have a shortage of tyrannical despots?") ("Oh Titan, no." Luz said, with a cringe. "Besides, where I come from, our despots are democratically elected.") ("Gross. I'll pass." King sighed. "I'll just stay here and have one of those self-contained adventures we have, while the rest of us are doing more interesting stuff.") (With a smash of breaking glass, Hooty shoved his head through the window. "Did someone say self-contained King and Hooty adventure?" He shouted, squinting excitedly.) ("Well, have fun, you two!" Eda said, ushering Amity and Luz through the door.) (King looked between Eda and Hooty in alarm. "Wait! No! I changed my mind!" He cried, running towards the door and leaping towards it, too late to pass through, before it folded away into nothing.) _ (Now Chapter 2 to understand what's going on) (The first thing Luz noticed, while blinking the glare of the portal out of her eyes, was the gust of hot, dry air. Before she could see where she was, she knew that it wasn't her home. Sure enough, when she opened her eyes, she was greeted by the sight of a massive, sprawling desert, reaching as far as the eye could see, strewn with cactus patches and rolling, rocky cliffs. The trio of witches had emerged through the same shack Luz had entered, when she first arrived at the boiling Isle, but now, it was situated on the distant outskirts of the thriving metropolis that was Las Vegas.) ("Wow, Luz..." Amity said, nervous about speaking ill of Luz's home. "Your home is... warm...")
(Luz laughed. "This isn't my home. Earth is a lot bigger than the Titan. We have a whole bunch of different biomes. My home's a lot cooler than this. This is Vegas! One of the biggest, flashiest, most morally dubious cities in the human world!") (Amity's eyes widened in excitement. "It's just like the Scoundrel's Citadel, in Good Witch Azura: Desert of Thieves!") (Luz was thoughtful for a moment. "Wow, yeah, I guess it is!") ("And where there are scoundrels and thieves, there's money." Eda said, practically drooling, as she took in the sight of the distant city.) ("Say, how did you know to come here, if you've never heard of human money before today?" Luz wondered aloud.) ("Magic. Duh." Eda rolled her eyes. "Now come on, we've got scams to run.") (Eda held her staff at waist height and sat down on it. Luz and Amity climbed on behind her, with far less confidence. With a fluttering of feathers, Owlbert unfolded his wings and took to the sky. Luz immediately noticed that lift-off had less force than usual, and became nervous when, after climbing to twenty feet, and shooting towards the city, the staff slowly began to drop.) ("Owlbert! Stop phoning it in!" Eda criticised, slapping the side of the staff, as they continued to descend. "Lift us up!") (But the staff continued to drop, and with three cries of surprise, Eda, Luz and Amity hit the sand, rolling to a stop, with Eda's staff clattering down beside her.) (Eda sighed. "Well, I won't Fat shame anyone if you don't.") ("I don't get it." Luz remarked. "Owlbert is fine with you, me and King. How much of a difference could Amity make?")
(Eda climbed to her feet, and rolled her eyes at the realisation. "Oh, right. There's no magic in this world. That's why I normally send Owlbert on his own.") ("But... we just flew." Amity pointed out. "Poorly... but still.") ("Yup, all we've got is the magic we brought with us." Eda said, tapping on her chest, indicating to her heart, and the adjoining sack of magical bile. "Don't waste it, it won't last long.") ("But I didn't bring any magic with me!" Luz cried, in despair. Experimentally, she produced her notebook, and tapped on one of her ice glyphs, resulting in nothing more than a puff of condensation. "Aw man...") (Eda picked up her staff and started walking to a relatively close highway, running towards the city. "Come on kids, I'll teach you how to hitchhike. The trick is to look helpless enough to attract creeps, and then you sock 'em in the jaw and steal their wagons!") (On the other side of the Vegas, a decrepit truck rattled its way down the road to the city, threatening with every bump, to simply fall apart. Driving the car was Stanley Pines, curator of the Mystery Shack, and stealer of his twin brother's identity, a façade he kept up, while attempting to rebuild the portal that would bring him home. But today wasn't about that, today he was taking his other brother's grandchildren, Dipper and Mabel, on a grand day out, to Las Vegas.) ("There she is, kids, Las Vegas!" He marvelled, in a harsh, grating voice. "Have you ever seen anything so incredible?") (Dipper remained sulking in the passenger seat, and didn't look up from the withered journal, he was pouring over, with a leather cover and a brass, six-fingered hand, with a number three on the front.)
("Yes!" He retorted, bitterly. "Yesterday I saw a mushroom that was an entirely new colour! It was literally indescribable!") ("I'd just like to remind everyone of that colour's name." Mabel interjected, from the back seat. "Mebelrama!" She said, fanning her hands out.) ("No! We are calling it Schmleeb!" Dipper insisted.) ("Respect the coin toss, Dipper!" Mabel practically shrieked.) ("Anyway..." Dipper irritably got back on track. "Today, I would have been getting closer to finding out who wrote this bad boy!" He held the journal slightly higher. "But instead... Vegas...") ("Who's at the top of your list of author suspects, Dipper?" Mable asked, poking her head around Dipper's headrest, with a mischievous smirk.) (Dipper closed the journal, drummed his fingers on the cover and looked out the window. "I'm... exploring some options..." He said, evasively.) (Mable looked over to Stan. "I'm asking rhetorically, because it's Soos...") ("What!?" Stan laughed obnoxiously. "Does Soos even know how to write!?") (Dipper frowned angrily. "Hey, sleeper agents exist, and they're always the last person you expect! I WAS making an algorithm for deducing trigger phrases, but instead, you drag us here!") ("Hey, I didn't just drag you guys to Vegas because it's full of marks just waiting to throw away their hard-earned cash!" Stan insisted. Dipper looked back at him, doubtfully. "... okay, it's mostly that, but there's stuff for you guys here too! If you think Gravity Falls is weird, just wait until you see this place! Nothing brings out the crazy like huge piles of money, you'll see...")
(Dipper pursed his lips, as the rattling truck continued down the highway, sceptical that Vegas' weirdness was the informative kind he'd grown accustomed to, in Gravity Falls.)
