The next day, Luz was walking to school with Gus and Willow, excited for School.

"I'm so excited for school. I can't wait for a normal day where nothing is trying to kill me, or attack me, or even just trying to hurt-"

Luz was tackled by a very happy half demon.

"Hi, Avatar!" Boscha said.

"Hi, Boscha." Luz said, "Any particular reason you just tackled me?"

"I had to show you the new powers I have now." Boscha said.

Boscha stood up and put her arms up. On her side, two more arms grew from her body, giving her a total of four arms.

"What do you think?" Boscha asked, waving all four arms.

"That's... interesting." Luz said.

"That's not all!" Boscha said, turning around and lifting her shirt.

Luz noticed two dark pink growths on Boscha's back.

"Uh, what are those?"

"They're my wings! My wings are coming in and I'm really excited!" Boscha said, lowering her shirt, "Soon I'll be able to fly without needing a staff!"

"Wow, Boscha, you would really do Maya dirty like that?" Luz asked, messing with her.

"I would never hurt Maya, she's too pure for this world." Boscha said, "Anyway, I'll see you in class. Can't wait for tomorrow."

Boscha walked away leaving Luz confused. They made it to Hexside.

"So, what was Boscha talking about?" Luz asked.

"That's right, you've never been here for the social event of the season." Willow said.

"Get ready, for your very first-"

Gus was cut off when paramedics rushed past him. Luz was confused as this somehow went from being some kind of medical emergency to a Beast Keeping student asking Skara to Grom.

"So, is there some weird magical version of Prom?" Luz asked.

"It's called Grom." Willow said, "It's a night involving music, dancing, friends, a horrifying monster that has to be beaten or the entirety of the Boiling Isles could be destroyed."

"Uh, go back to that last one." Luz said.

Before Willow could say something, Luz was bumped into from behind. Luz turned around and saw Amity. Amity growled at her before realizing it was Luz.

"Oh, Luz... and co. Sorry about that."

"No problem. Here's your note." Amity quickly ripped it from Luz's grasp, "Wow, you've got some quick grabbers."

"Sorry, it's just... private." Amity said.

The loud speaker started up and Principal Bump's voice rang through it.

"Attention Students, as you know, Grom is tomorrow night, which means it is time for me to announce who will be this year's Grom Royalty."

The students talked nervously, wondering who will be picked this year.

"This year's highest honor, goes to..."

At the Emperor's castle, Belos was listening to Lilith's report.

"Blue fire, you say?" Belos said.

"Yes, along with Lightning." Lilith said, "It was so incredible. I've seen her do it before, but never up close."

"While I agree, she could become a Firebending teacher, with your sister as the Avatar's mentor, the chances of her trusting me are slim to none." Belos said.

"I might have a way." Lilith said, "I learned something about her while I was delivering the note."

"What is it?"

"She never had an Airbending teacher." Lilith said, "From what you told me, that arrow tattoo means you're an Airbending master. The way I see it, you can help her master Airbending in exchange for teaching Golden Guard Firebending."

"And you think this would work?"

"Maybe, maybe not, but it's like you said, the days getting closer, we need all the help we can get." Lilith said.

"I suppose you're right." Belos said, "Although, I still think she'll be very hesitant to help. Leave, Lilith, I need to think about how to approach this."

Lilith bowed and walked out of the room.

"I might just have an idea."

Later that day, Luz returned to the Owl House.

"Hey, Eda, I'm back, and I have some questions." Luz said.

She didn't hear a response, but she did hear Eda say "Ow". She peaked into Eda's room and saw her and King trying to fit a suit.

"Careful with those pins." Eda said.

"Why am I doing this, I don't even wear clothes!" King said.

"Hey, sweet duds Owl Lady, what's the occasion?" Luz asked.

"I'm chaperoning Grom tonight."

"Uh... you?"

"Yeah, what's that matter?"

"It's nothing, it's just... you're the most wanted criminal on the Boiling Isles, why not pick someone else?"

"That's what I was wondering too, but then something weird happened."

"What?"

"My bounty and wanted level... it was removed." Eda said, "I'm no longer a criminal."

"Why? What did you do to get on the good side of the Coven?"

"I don't know, Lily must've done something." Eda said, "Anyway, King was helping me get a suit ready."

"Okay, what about you, King? Do you have any plans?"

"Gus asked me to Co-MC the fight, we're going to turn this blood bath into a fun bath."

"Blood bath, huh?" Luz said, rubbing the back of her head.

"Oh, have they announced the Victim yet?" Eda asked.

"Y-y-yeah... it's me."
