They walked through the portal to Wartwood's town square, bustling with frogs.

As they passed the market stalls, Adora picked up what looked like a chocolate covered scarab beetle and ate it in one bite.

Catra gave her a weird look.

"Oh, don't look at me like that" Adora countered "I've seen you eat mice whole"

"Yeah, that's fair"

Amity surreptitiously peered at a stall that were selling old fashioned letter bound book with illustrations of frogs wearing old timey clothes. Her eyes shone in wonder.

"Ooh! More other worlder fics!" Luz appeared beside her. Amity jumped, blushing furiously.

"You know, you kids have to pay for that" Hop Pop's voice came from behind the Plantar family stand.

"Do you by chance know where my ungrateful grandchildren are?"

"Uh, nooo.." luz grinned guiltily, hiding her phone behind her back. Adora gave a nervous chuckle exposing chocolate stained teeth. Catra face palmed.

After giving Hop Pop some loose Etherian coins from Adora's jacket pocket to give to the disgruntled chocolate salesman, they went in search of the Plantar kids.

In the nearby woods, they found Anne and Sprig playing a crude version of baseball with a sickle whose blade resembled a leaf and a ball that looked like a beetle.

Polly was beside them refereeing.

Luz cupped her hands to her mouth and shouted "Hey, Anne!"

Anne was startled and missed the swing. The sickle-baseball bat flew out of her hands. It flew past Sprig, slicing his aviator hat exposing his tuft of red hair.

"Not the first time that's happened" Sprig said cheerfully.

Anne ran up to them and gave Luz a big hug. "Oh my gosh, Luz, how are you girl? Shouldn't you be in school?"

"Pixie infestation"

"I don't know what that means"

"It means, I can show you the Isles, girl!" Luz exclaimed "but we better hurry because Hop Pop is on your scent"

"Don't worry, we'll cover you" Sprig saluted.

"We will?" Polly asked dryly.

"KIDS!" Hop Pop bellowed from the market.

"Let's go, let's go!" Anne ushered them back to the town square. The door with the eye folded out and they stepped through.

After they left Wartwood, General Yunan emerged from a bush spitting out nettles.

"Very interesting" she mused "very interesting" she laughed maliciously to herself until she noticed Hop Pop staring at her strangely. She stopped abruptly.

",,,I'm going to leave now" Yunan said.

"That's for the best"

On the Boiling Isles, Luz snapped her fingers as if just realizing something. "Oh, yeah! Todays a great day to drop off what Glimmer sent!" she raced into the Owl House, Hooty hooting indignantly.

She came out with a satchel full of books. "Glimmer let me raid Brightmoon's library. I'm going to donate them to Bonesborugh's library so everyone here can read them.

"I love you so much right now" Amity whispered reverently.

"What?"

"What?"

Anne stuck out her tongue. "It's too bad Marcy's all the way in Newtopia. She'd love to see a library from another world"

"Ah , a scho-lar" Adora said stressing the wrong syllable.

"A what?" Amity raised an eyebrow.

"Ignore her" Catra laughed.

"You…ignore…yourself!" Adora exclaimed in a stutter putting Catra in her familiar soft headlock until they reached the library.

"That doesn't make sense, idiot" Catra couldn't control her giggles.

Amity glanced at the lovebirds then to Luz. She quickly looked away, suddenly interested in her shoes.

The librarian at the front desk was checking books in a magic scanner that noted if the book was on time or not and if it had damage.

"ah, Eda's…child" he said distastefully.

"That's the exact tone of voice people in Wartwood say "Hopediah's grandkids" Anne pointed out.

Luz put her arm on his desk with her most charming smile. "With a generous donation to your library. Books from a library of a queen from another world!"

"Uh huh" the librarian snorted, unimpressed. "Put them over there."

Luz stacked the donated books on an empty shelf, spell books from Mystacor, books on the history of past She Ras from Lance and George's library , some of Mermista's paperback mysteries.

Last in the pile was a lovingly handbound notebook with flower pint and "Catra's journal" written in Perfuma's perfect cursive.

Catra shrieked and dived for the book. Instinctively her claws extended slicing off a sliver of paper that fluttered under the shelf.

"Sorry, Catra" Luz said "I don't know how that got in there"

"I didn't know you kept a journal" Adora said.

Catra blushed "Perfuma made it for me. She thinks it'll help me with my…issues, along with meditation."

Adora hugged her, tears in her eyes "I'm so proud of you!"

Anne gave her friendly punch on her arm. "Good for you!"

"Ok, ok"

Carta's journal opened up to a middle page with a drawing. Adora lying on the ground in the Failsafe, hair undone. Catra over her, hair shorter than it was now, kissing her.

With another violent shriek, Catra shut the book hard, panting, her eyes darting around. Her ears were flat against her head.

"Sorry, you…had to see that" she muttered. Adora gave her short sweet kiss and she seemed to calm down.

Amity reached out for Luz. "Luz, I…"

But Luz was staring intently at the library front doors. "Guys, we have to go" she said urgently.

Coming through the front doors was Belos's owl masked servant.

"Back way. Hurry!" Luz whispered.

The five of them bolted for the library back doors.

"Wow that's better than our backway back home" Adora said when they ere clear and making their way to the Owl House "No cliffs or ropes"

In the library the masked witch knelt by the shelf and pulled the scrap of paper from Catras journal as everyone around him bowed nervously to the emperor's envoy.

It was hard to tell but he may have been smiling as he looked at the page.

"This should suffice"
