The Owl House, 8:00AM.
At the Owl House, Eda and Raine were sleeping in the nest together covered in a ginormous sheet, covering their bodies. They had just had a night of excitement where they showed how much they cared for each other.
On the side of the nest, their clothes were scattered everywhere as well as Owlbert, whom was covering their eyes with his feathers.
Eda rolled to her side to look at the sleeping beauty sleeping right next to her. Her former lover Raine Whispers, was sleeping right beside her. She put a finger on their bare shoulder and began to make circles in it.
Raine felt the sharp claw on their shoulder and instead of acting nervous, they pulled a confident smile and turned to face their former girlfriend.
"Good morning." Raine said sweetly.
"Good morning Raine." Eda said as she snuggled up to them. "You were quite a storm last night."
Raine chuckled. "Thanks."
The two former lovers began to stare at each other thinking about what yesterday meant for them. There was kissing, admitting and the sleeping. Were they back together?
"Hey Rainestorm, after what we did last night, are we back together?" Eda asked.
Raine thought about the question for about five seconds before smiling. "Only if you want it."
But Eda was pretty much unsure if Raine actually wanted it. "Raine, are you sure you want it? Even after everything that happened to…"
"Eda." Raine held their lover by the face. "Just, no more withholding yourself. Please." They began to kiss Eda again which surprised the Owl Lady before she returned it and began to snuggled towards them, attempting to enjoy themselves more.
But they were interrupted when General Yunan crashed through the window, startling the two and causing them to scream and covering themselves up with the sheets.
"Yunan!" Raine yelled.
"What are you doing?!" Eda exclaimed.
"I went looking for the sucker's grave and I couldn't find anything." Yunan replied. "I asked everyone around Bonesborough, including the Blights and a guard from the Emperor's Coven called Steve who didn't seem to mind me being a weird newt from another world. Nobody, and I mean nobody, knew where the grave of Phillip Wittebane was."
"We were going back in time." Raine pointed out.
"Yeah, but again, there's a chance it couldn't work and we'd have to resurrect the dead bag." Yunan said.
"Hey Yunan, could you leave?" Eda asked. "As you can see me and Raine are a little busy."
Yunan took a glance at the two and shook her head. "Oh, right! Apologies for interrupting your pleasurable conversations. I wish, you would have gave me warning."
"Get out!" Eda and Raine screamed simultaneously, causing Yunan to jump out of the window.
Raine groaned. "Does she not know privacy?"
"Well, she is a general, so barging in is kind of her thing." Eda responded. "Now, where were we?"
The two chuckled just as they were about to continue their entertainment until a familiar someone slithered in. "Hooooot? Good morning." Hooty's rude entrance made Eda and Raine panic, causing them to cover themselves with the sheets. "Lulu has found…." Hooty froze and stared at the two in wide eyed shock. He noticed their clothes scattered, the fact them two were in bed together and how they covered their bodies with the sheet. But it was at this moment, he gasped. "I don't believe it! You two were having a sleepover?! Without Hooty?!"
Eda turned red. "Uh….It's an adult sleepover, Hooty."
"But I'm older than you!" Hooty cried. The owl tube continued to cry over not being invited to the sleepover of a lifetime.
"Uh…..Hooty." Raine interjected. "What were you saying?"
"Oh, Lulu said she might have found a way to find the Time Pools." Hooty said.
"Oh really?" Eda asked.
"Yup. Now, get dressed, Lilith is needing some recruits." Hooty then slithered out. "Invite me next time or if not, then let me watch."
Eda and Raine shivered. "I'll never know how you find him." Raine said.
"Me neither." Eda said. "Me neither. Maybe I wasn't the one who found him, maybe he found me. Which now saying it, makes me concerned about what the Titan Hooty is."
Downstairs, Lilith had put on some circular specs and was now wearing a teal dress with a brown overcoat. She was trying to find a false hand to replace the one that had been possessed by Granem. There were options between a hook, a fork, a knife, a pen, a sword, a hammer and a tape measure. "Hmmmm." Lilith pondered while her uncut hand was on her face.
"I think a hook for a hand would be good." Grime suggested.
"You know, I was just about to say the same thing." Yunan responded.
"Actually, I'll take the whole case." Lilith declared just as she picked it up. "Just in case."
"Ah, good idea." Yunan remarked. "You never know when you might want to measure your enemies to death."
Then, Eda and Raine arrived downstairs having just put on their clothes. "So, how did you two sleep last night?" Grime asked. "Yunan said you apparently slept well." The witch lovers narrowed their eyes at the newt general, whom raised her hands in self defence.
"Unlike some people, I don't wish to know." Lilith said just as Hooty slithered in. "Don't ask, Hooty!"
"So, you're going off to find those Time Pools?" Eda asked. "Even though your possessed hand is now residing in my jar." The hand that belonged to Lilith, was now in a jar accepting their current predicament. It tapped on the glass and Yunan tapped back just to annoy it.
"Ha! Don't like that, huh?! Don't like that?! Huh?!" Yunan chided the hand.
"Yunan!" Lilith's interjection made the newt General stop. "Okay, I believe with these notes I've done through my research, that these should take us to the Time Pools. I just need Amity's glove, this duster, these tweezers and all these various items."
Eda was stunned. "The glove? Lilith, we need it."
"It's okay, we're only testing this once." Lilith assured her sister. "But then if things don't go well, we'll probably try and find the corpse."
"Believe me, I checked." Yunan responded.
"Did you check the boiling sea?"
"Are you kidding?! My skin will be scorched and blistered!" Yunan retorted.
"Alright, is there anyone willing to come with me on my quest?" Lilith asked.
"I'm coming." Grime said with his hand raised. "I've been cooped up with this house for long enough."
"And I'll come too." Raine declared.
"You sure Rainestorm?" Eda asked. "I mean, we could stay here while these two nerds have their fun."
Raine chuckled. "Eda, I'm your nerd remember. Your Bard nerd."
Eda shrugged her shoulders. "Okay, you make a fair argument." She then approached her lover with a serious look. "Just, promise me you'll be back. Promise me, you'll be safe."
Raine smiled at their girlfriend. "Don't you worry Owl Lady, I'll be back before you can say Holy Titan."
"Holy Titan!" Eda grinned. "Well, you're back."
Raine laughed at Eda's boldness and wrapped their arm around her. "Come here." The two shared another kiss in front of everyone, causing Grime to grin while Lilith groaned.
"I knew there was something between them." Grime remarked.
"Uh I'm right here." But Eda and Raine just continued while Lilith continued to be annoyed. "Eda, you always told me if I ever fell in love with anybody even though I have no interest, you said it would be disgusting to kiss your lover in front of your siblings." But the two just continued kissing, annoying Lilith a bit more. "Come on, there are other people here." But once again, the two just continued to kiss. "Helloooooooo? Demon Realm to Edalyn?" But again, the lovers just continued. "You're doing this to grind my gears." The former Coven member then huffed and walked out the door with Grime following.
"When you're ready, Whispers!" Grime yelled.
Raine and Eda disconnected and began to stare at each other, blushing. "You better promise that date." Raine said.
"I will." Eda assured them before giving another kiss to their head.
They packed their violin and began to follow Lilith and Grime for a possible adventure of a lifetime. Unbeknownst to the three, they were being followed by two figures.
Back in the Owl House, Eda slumped back on the couch with the tired Yunan, whom was close to sleeping after an all night search for a non existent tomb.
"So, we haven't had alone time to ourselves, what do you suggest we do?" Eda asked.
"Sleep." Yunan responded.
"Not while there is a hand Hooty is tempted to eat." Hooty drooled as he stared at the delectable hand stuck in a jar.
"One day, you're going to be in my stomach, possessed hand." Hooty then realised something. "Wait, that means I'd technically eat Lulu." Hooty began to tear up. "What is wrong with me?! I was planning to eat Lulu?!" Hooty cried as he slammed himself shut.
"That thing is absolutely weird." Yunan remarked.
"It's Hooty, what the heck are you going to do?" Eda asked as she turned to the hand. "Do you know anything about Belos' plan possessed hand?" The hand looked at Eda with confusion. "Don't act dumb, I know you probably know something. Shame we can't communicate through the jar. Because I could really use an expert on morse code."
The hand looked like it was laughing just as it tapped on the jar. A tapping sound that seemed to have caught Yunan's attention.
"Shame there isn't someone here that doesn't understand morse code, eh?" Yunan laughed. "You could have not done any, you dumb hand." The hand flinch and froze, realising their mistake.
But Eda, was surprised by what the newt showed. "Wait, you can speak morse code?"
"I am a general of the Newtopian army." Yunan bragged. "Morse code was part of my training."
Eda grinned. "Then, looks like I'll need you to translate this guy. They seem rather handy don't you think."
Yunan and Hooty laughed at Eda's pun while the hand looked like it was suffering because of how awful it was.
Yunan leapt towards the jar and stared at the hand with a terrifying stare. "Alright, you better listen here, if you don't wish to be shook or face the wrath of my irritating tapping, I suggest you start talking!"
"Alright hand, start talking." Eda demanded. "First off, name all the people you possessed so I can be wary."
"And what will we do with them?" Yunan asked.
"If they're bitten, then we need a Bodywalker exorcism." Eda replied. "If they aren't overdue."
"Do you know anyone who can do those kind of exorcisms?" Yunan asked.
Eda sighed. "I unfortunately don't. It'd be a miracle to find someone who could."
