Boscha got ready for her meeting with Willow. She was doing her hair, which was difficult with no reflection.
"This is getting ridiculous." Boscha said.
She made a shadow clone and had it copy her movements. She finished and saw small bits of brown in her... her clone's hair.
"My roots are starting to show. I should fix that later."
Boscha made a swipe motion through the clone and it disappeared. Boscha ran down the stairs and out the door, once again forgetting that she needs her uniform to walk in the sun. She ran back upstairs, applied a special potion to her burns, and put her uniform on.
"I'm going to wear that dress one day." She said.
She ran back down the stairs and was at the door when her mom stopped her.
"Boscha, wait." Elizabeth said, "Take this."
Boscha took a thermos from her mom.
"What is this thing?"
"It's a human device. It's called a thermos. It's filled with blood, just in case you get hungry... thirsty?"
Boscha looked at her mom.
"You really are trying, aren't you?"
"I told you, I will be a better mother."
Boscha looked at the ground for a second before hugging her mom. Elizabeth was surprised, but returned the hug.
"Thank you." Boscha said, quietly.
Boscha let go of the hug and sprinted to Willow's house. Meanwhile, Lilith landed outside the Triplet household.
"You can do this." She told herself.
Lilith walked up to the door and knocked. Elizabeth answered.
"L-L-Lilith? W-w-what can I do for you?"
"I came to talk."
"Well... come in."
Boscha stopped outside Willow's house. She looked behind her and saw a three foot long streak in the mud from her feet.
"I really need to learn how to stop better." Boscha said, before sniffing the air, "Is something burning?"
Boscha looked at her shoes and stomped her feet, trying to stop them from smoking.
"I guess being incredibly fast has some downsides."
When Boscha was done stomping, she knocked on the door. Willow opened the door and immediately looked at Boscha's feet. She opened her mouth, but Boscha beat her to it.
"Don't ask."
"Okay, you ready?" Willow asked.
"Yes. Where are we going anyway?"
"You'll see."
Boscha followed Willow. In the Triplet Manor, Lilith and Elizabeth sat at the table.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" Elizabeth asked.
"I wanted to know how you're doing." Lilith said.
"I'm doing as good as I can be." Elizabeth said, "That can't be the only thing you wanted to talk about. There's something else, isn't there?"
Lilith looked away.
"Do... do you remember when we found out we were soulmates?" Lilith asked.
"How could I forget? It was one of the best days of my life." Elizabeth said, "I'm guessing you do too?"
"I remember more than that. I remember the day we met." Lilith said, "I remember seeing you and I was thinking, who was that Healer and how do I get her to notice me?"
"Good times." Elizabeth said, "Remember our first class?"
"You mean the one time they removed the mixing magic rule? How could I forget. Everyone knew that Healer Coven was running out of medicine so they had the top Potion students and top Healing students work together."
"Our potion is still being used by the top Healer's, even the Healing Coven leader uses it." Elizabeth said, "Is this what you wanted. To take a trip down memory lane?"
"No, I came because I want to see your wrist."
Elizabeth's eyes widened and she rolled up her sleeve. She showed Lilith and Lilith smiled.
"It's nice to know he didn't mess with your Soul Tie." Lilith said.
"Yeah, well, I wouldn't blame you if you removed yours."
Lilith put her arm on the table. Showing Elizabeth the Soul Tie.
"I would never."
On their wrists, were each other's name. Lilith grabbed Elizabeth's hand.
"Lizzy, did you mean what you said all those years ago?" Lilith asked.
"Yes. I never wanted to dump you. I was forced into an arranged marriage because he's wealthy. If I had a choice, I would've married you."
"Do... do you wish to pick up where we left off?" Lilith asked.
The two look at each other in silence. They lean closer to each other and they kiss. They separate and Elizabeth starts crying.
"I'm sorry that I had to dump you. I wish I had the guts to tell my parents off."
Lilith cupped Elizabeth's cheeks.
"Never apologize. If you did that, you wouldn't have your daughter." Lilith said, "Which means I wouldn't have a future step-daughter."
"You mean it?"
"Yes. I told you long ago that my dream was to marry you. I will stand by that statement."
