"Where are we going exactly?"

"Shhhh, it's a surprise!"

"Please tell me this isn't like that last surprise you had for me. Suit nearly had a meltdown 'cause somehow I ended up breaking my leg."

"I said I was sorry! I didn't know that cliff was there!"

Kevin and Luz were currently walking through the forest, and to Kevin their current destination was unknown. Luz had woken him up really early this morning, practically bouncing off the walls in excitement. She had told him to hurry up and to take a shower and to get dressed because they had to leave ASAP. He had done as he was told and before he knew it, she was pushing him out the front door, with a blindfold tied tightly around his eyes no less. With his lack of eyesight, she guided him through the forest to wherever she was taking him.

"Besides, I'd say we're even for that one time," Luz said.

"Oh come on! So you were almost eaten by giant spider people. You know how bad my arachnophobia is! You shouldn't have taken me there! Besides, I ended up saving you, didn't I?"

"Yeah, a whole day after they webbed me up! Do you know how close they were to eating me?!"

"But they didn't, did they? You're welcome," Kevin said before he felt a branch smack him in the face. "Ow! The bloody hell?"

"Whoops, I got distracted," Luz giggled, before stopping him. "Okay, take the blindfold off!"

Kevin did as he was told, and he was met with the sight of a beautiful white building with accents of teal and gold. There were three towers incorporated into the building. Each was several stories tall, but the one in the middle was double the length of the other two. A giant eyeball with a red iris sat in the window atop of the middle tower, staring off into the distance.

"Welcome to Hexside School of Magic and Demonics! Gah, I'm so excited to be back!" Luz exclaimed with absolute glee as she jumped up and down, her body shaking from excitement.

"Oh yeah, you wouldn't stop talking about this place back after we first met," Kevin said. "Wait, hasn't the school year been continuing ever since you left? Aren't you, ya know, gonna fail by being so far behind?"

"Nope! Since I can't do magic in my world, Bump convinced the teachers just to give me extra book work until I got back. Owlbert would bring it to me at night after my mom went to sleep, and I'd stay up all night doing it!"

"Ah, that explains why your grades were slipping back in the human world," Kevin said, remembering how her mother would go on a tangent in Spanish about her continuously lowering grades. He was still surprised she was able to get them up at the last minute. "So why'd you bring me here?"

"To show you around! I wanna show you all the coven tracks and all the cool stuff they can do! Oh, and I can also introduce you to-"

"Luz?!" two separate voices shouted in unison, cutting the girl off. Her eyes widened as she grinned before she turned to see two witches running at her at full speed. One was a short, dark skinned boy, and the other was a girl with the kind of large glasses that you'd see a grandmother wear.

"Gus! Willow!"

Luz rushed towards the two, and the three met with a group hug. Kevin couldn't help but smile at the scene of the three friends reuniting after so long. It also made him a bit sad as he remembers the countless friends he's left behind in other dimensions. He should really give them a call sometime.

"Oh my god, I've missed you two so much! There's so much I gotta tell you guys about! Gus, have you gotten taller? Willow, is that ponytail new? How have you guys been?" Luz asked as the three separated, allowing Luz to get a better look at them.

Gus had indeed gotten taller, but only by an inch or two as far as Luz could see. Other than that, he looked the same as before. The same with Willow, the only difference being that she now had a ponytail that reached right above the middle of her back.

"We've been doing great! We still have some problems with Boscha, but other than her, everything's been great! We learned a lot of news spells we're just dying to show you!" Gus exclaimed happily, glad his friend was back. Willow nodded in agreement, but Kevin had caught her eye.

"Luz, who's that?" she asked while pointing.

"Is-is that another human?!" Gus gasped, eyes widening in surprise.

"Yes he is! Kevin, get over here!" Luz shouted, and the boy nodded at the command before coming over to the group.

"Nice to meet you two; Luz has told me nothing but nice things about you. Name's Kevin," he introduced himself with a pleasant smile.

"Another human, here, in the Boiling Isles? And, a guy no less! Oh this is great! Finally, I can ask you all the questions I could never ask Luz!" Gus exclaimed before digging around in his pockets and pulling out a small pad of paper and pen. "Ok, so how do humans mate? Is it like fish? Or, is it like us where the male inserts his-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Cool your jets, little dude," Kevin said, cutting the boy off. Luz couldn't help but snort as a response. "Save questions like that for when we're not in public, all right?"

"Oh, sorry about that. Guess I got a little too excited," Gus chuckled nervously while rubbing the back of his head.

"I'm sorry about Gus; he really loves humans and your culture, but he can go a little overboard sometimes," Willow apologized. "I'm Willow. It's really nice to meet you!"

"My new friend getting along perfectly with my old friends? Ah, I love it! Let's go find Amity so the gang can finally be back together!" Luz exclaimed before grabbing Kevin's wrist and dragging her towards the front doors of the building. Gus and Willow smiled at one another, happy that their energetic friend was back, before rushing to follow.

(Inside the halls of Hexside)

"I don't trust him! There's just something off about him. And what if he hurts Luz? It'll be all my fault unless I do something about it!" Amity ranted to her brother and sister as she took her books out of her locker.

"This is just the jealousy talking, Mittens. You feel threatened because the two are close. There's only one thing you can do," Emira said, and Edric nodded in agreement.

"Right. Have someone transform him into a bat and keep him locked away in a cage," Edric said, only to let out a small 'oof' as Emria 'gently' elbowed his shoulder.

"No dummy, just confess you like her! Like, it's the simplest thing in the world and you refuse to do it for whatever reason."

"That's because it isn't simple! What if-What if Luz doesn't like girls? What if she's disgusted by me and doesn't wanna be my friend anymore? Losing her once for nine months was bad enough; I don't know what I'd do if I lost her forever," Amity sighed sadly. "I just wish there was a sign that she was into girls too." Before she could say anything else, two hands came from behind and covered her eyes as a body pressed tightly against hers.

"Guess who?" the voice asked, the warm breath tickling her sensitive ears and causing Amity's face to go red.

The green-haired witch yelped in surprise and dropped her books by mistake, and on instinct tried to run away, but she accidentally stepped on some of her papers, causing her to slip and fall backwards. She would've hit the ground, had it not been for a pair of strong arms wrapping around her.

"Oh my god, Amity! Are you okay? I didn't mean you scare you like that, I promise!" Luz apologized, keeping her friend held tightly in her arms, their faces an inch away from one another. Amity was as red as a tomato, their position reminding her of another dream where they had danced to music under the moonlit sky.

"Gah, I, um," the witch tried to say she was fine, but all that came out were her weak stutters. She was quickly snapped out of her gay panic by a loud 'click.' She looked past Luz to see Edric and Emira with their scrolls in their hands.

"Found your sign," Edric said as he waved his scroll in his hand.

"So posting this to Penstagram," Emira said before she and Ed poofed their scrolls away before Amity could try and destroy them. They smirked at seeing their little sister's crush help her back to her feet.

"I'm so killing the two of you later," Amity growled, getting ready to pick up her stuff, but finding it no longer on the ground. She was surprised to see Kevin standing next to her, her books and papers stacked neatly in his hands. "Oh, uh, thank you, Kevin," she said while taking them from his hands.

"Of course, happy to help." He nodded before turning to the two older witches. "You must be Amity's brother and sister. Nice to meet you."

"You must be the new human she told us about. Name's Edric. Please feel free to tease and embarrass her as much as you want," Edric said, ignoring the glare Amity was sending his way.

"Emira, a pleasure to meet you. Like my brother said, tease Mittens whenever you want to. We don't mind; we actually encourage it."

"I despise your existence," Amity growled in annoyance.

"Ooo, the angry growl. Time to go before she swears revenge," Emira giggled. "Nice to see you again, Luz, nice to meet you, Kevin. See ya later, Mittens." The brother and sister duo left with a small wave, planning on eventually using this new picture as blackmail.

"They seem nice," Kevin said.

"If by 'nice' you mean the banes of existence, then yes I agree." Amity rolled her eyes. "So, what are you doing here?"

"I'm giving him a tour! I wanted to show him all the coven tracks and the different stuff they can do," Luz informed her. "I figured my stories didn't do this place any justice. It's awesome!"

Before anyone could say anything, a sudden explosion went off and shook the school violently, surprising and scaring many of the students.

"Ah yes, random explosions. Definitely my kinda school," Kevin said.

"Did that come from the lunch room?" Gus asked. The three witches and witch in training ran towards the room in question, with Kevin following close behind in case there was danger. When they arrived, Luz and Amity opened the doors, and the group was met with the sight of the lunch room almost completely covered in purple goo. Principal Bump stood close by, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Principal Bump, what happened here?" Amity asked as they walked towards him.

"A disastrous case of miscommunication, Ms. Blight," he sighed. "Someone in the potion track accidentally created an explosive potion, and an abomination ended up drinking it. And so, here we are," he informed the group before noticing Luz. "Ah, welcome back, Ms. Luz. Are you enjoying your first day back so far?"

"Of course I am, Principal Bump. And I'm ready to learn some more!"

"That's good to hear." He smiled before noticing Kevin. "Ah, another human. A friend of yours, Ms. Luz?"

"Yes sir!"

"Name's Kevin, nice to meet you," Kevin introduced himself, sticking a hand out, which Bump accepted and shook.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I apologize that this happened during your first visit."

"No need to apologize, sir. Would you like some help cleaning up?"

"Ah, well, I highly appreciate the offer, young man. Sadly, I doubt you could do much, being a human and all," Bump said apologetically. Luz smiled and nudged Kevin with her elbow.

"Show him one of your tricks!" She said, trying to convince him. Kevin nodded at the suggestion.

"Please, Principal Bump, I insist. I assure you I'm full of surprises," Kevin said, causing Bump to look towards Luz for a second opinion, since she obviously knew him. She nodded excitedly, causing him to give a soft smile.

"Then please, proceed," Bump said, gesturing to the room.

Kevin nodded before he slammed his hands together. He held his right hand out, palm upwards, and in a poof of smoke, a deck of cards appeared in it, surprising everyone besides Luz. He spread the deck between his hands and looked through them before letting out a small 'aha' when he found what he was looking for. He plucked one card out of the deck, which had a picture of a small and furry creature on it, before stacking it back again. In another poof, the deck disappeared, leaving behind the one card he took out.

"Where did that deck come from?" Gus asked.

"And where did it go?" Willow asked a follow-up question.

"It's complicated," Kevin said as he walked towards the nearby table that had a small space free of the goo. His right hand started glowing blue before the light concentrated itself at his fingertips before draining into the card itself. "My friend, I require your assistance!" he exclaimed while setting the card down onto the table.

Nothing happened for a few seconds, confusing the group minus Luz. Then in a poof, the creature came to life and floated above where the card lay. The creature was small, only a little bit bigger than a Grudgby ball. It was completely covered with brown fur, and had big eyes with purple irises that nearly covered the yellow sclera. It had four little green paws, and each paw had three yellow claws. The group watched, shocked and surprised, as the small ball and fur floated up towards Kevin.

"Hey bud, been a while. Did ya miss me?" he asked it while scratching the top of its head. The creature let out a strange noise, but it clearly enjoyed the scratching as it leaned into it.

"Marvelous," Bump whispered, amazed, before walking closer to Kevin and his creature. He stared at the fur ball, and it stared back. "But you're just a human; how did you manage to summon this…this…thing?"

"Its name is Kuriboh, and like I said, I'm full of surprises," Kevin said, but received a raised eyebrow in response. "I'll tell you later," Kevin promised before turning to Kuriboh. "Hey bud, these nice people need help cleaning up this mess. Would you mind lending a hand?"

The creature, Kuriboh as Kevin called it, nodded before backing away. After a few seconds. Two small clouds of smoke appeared behind the creature, and when they dissipated, 2 more Kuribohs were revealed. Then there were 4 clouds of smoke, then 8, then 16. More and more Kuribohs began to poof in, and before longer there were over 100 in the air. Some were just floating around mindlessly, while most stayed still in order to pay attention.

"Listen up! I promised my friends here we were gonna help, and that's what we're gonna do! You all know what to do, so let's go!" Kevin cheered.

The Kuribohs nodded and hummed in unison before going to work. The group watched as the little furry monsters started rolling around in the goo. And, while it was disgusting, it was surprising to see some of them leaving their spots once they were completely covered in the sludge and leaving behind a clean area. Those who were filthy hovered over to the nearest garbage cans and wrung themselves dry like a towel, causing the goo to easily fall off and leaving them clean. After that, they went to another goo-covered spot and repeated the process again and again. It took about 15 minutes for the Kuribohs to fully clean the lunch room, leaving every trash can completely full.

"Thanks for the help you guys! You know what to do," Kevin said. The monsters nodded before poofing away and out of existence. A few stayed behind, however, and floated down to the group.

"This is so cool!" Gus exclaimed, taking rapid-fire photos of the creatures. One liked the sounds and flashes and floated towards Gus, letting the boy take as many pictures as he wanted.

"It tickles," Willow giggled as another floated around and nuzzled her cheek, tickling her.

Bump hummed to himself, and the one who floated down to him hummed back. Still wary, he used a single finger to scratch the area between its claws. It sounded like the Kuriboh giggled, and the old witch couldn't help but smile in quiet delight.

Amity tried not to let it show, but she secretly loved the little monster she currently held in her hands. It was just so cute! She couldn't help but smile as it stared back at her with its big old eyes filled with curiosity.

"Kevin, look! It's like our baby!"

And consider Amity's good mood officially ruined.

The greenette looked up, a glare making its way to her features as she watched Luz hold onto and fawn over the Kuriboh in her arms. She was making baby noises at the little creature, and Kevin stood next to her with a smile.

"Well damn, a child out of wedlock. Guess I gotta marry you now," he played along, causing the Latina girl to giggle.

"Good idea. 'Kevin Noceda' does have a nice ring to it," she further teased.

"Pfft, in your dreams. We'd have to talk about that first."

Amity let out a soft growl at the two, married with a child or two while she herself withered away, becoming some old hag that never knew the sensual touch of the one she loved. So caught up with her thoughts, Amity hadn't realized how hard she was squeezing the Kuriboh, until it suddenly poofed in her hands. Her eyes widened in shock as a horrid gasp escaped her.

"It's okay, it's okay, they're meant to do that," Kevin reassured her before she could scream in fright. "They feel no pain; everything is okay," he said, and to further his point, he snapped his fingers. This caused the other Kuribohs to poof away as well, much to the disappointment of some.

"Aww, my baby," Luz sighed.

"Mr. Kevin, I must say that was indeed quite a display," Bump said as he approached the new human. "Would you mind joining me in my office? There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Of course." Kevin nodded at the request.

"The rest of you can head onto class. Please, follow me, Mr. Kevin," Bump said before walking towards his office with Kevin in tow. The students nodded and did as requested, exiting the lunch room and heading towards class.

'Is this going to scar me for life?' Amity wondered to herself before feeling a presence.

"I saw how you handled Kuriboh before, ya know. It was really cute! You're gonna make a great mom, Amity," Luz commented with a bright smile, and Amity felt her blush come back full force.

(A few hours later)

"He offered you a spot?!"

"My brightly colored outfit doesn't lie," Kevin laughed to himself while gesturing at his current outfit, the Hexside uniform, which consisted of a gray tunic, a dark gray belt, and a cowl. Instead of the regulation boots, Kevin wore his sneakers, and his sleeves and leggings were a mix of nine different colors, each symbolizing one of the nine coven tracks. "I told him about my 'travels,' and he said as long as I don't cause any trouble, I'm in."

"That's great news! C'mon, let's go tell the other!" Luz said, once again grabbing his wrist and dragging him away to somewhere else for seemingly the 10th time that day. It didn't take long to reach the cafeteria, and it was easy to spot the table where Gus, Willow, and Amity currently sat it. "Guys! Guys! You'll never…believe…what…" Luz trailed off as she got closer, her eyes widening at what she saw.

Gus and Willow were covered with food and pen markings with nasty words and mean symbols drawn on their cheeks and foreheads. Amity was currently cleaning Willow while Amity's abomination was cleaning Gus, carefully though so it wouldn't cover the boy in any of its goo.

"What happened to you guys?!" Luz exclaimed as she and Kevin got close.

"Boscha happened, again," Amity informed her with a tired and irritated sigh.

"It's been like this ever since you left. Amity has tried to stop her, but she just doesn't listen," Willow sighed sadly.

"Boscha? Wait, she's that three-eyed cunt you told me about, right?" Kevin asked, causing Luz to nod. "Gah, I despise bullies. Where is she?"

"Over there, at the 'cool kids table.'" Gus pointed a few tables down, and Kevin could see which table he was talking about. It wasn't hard to spot someone with three eyes. "What are you going to do?"

"There's only one way to stop a bully…well actually there's several, but most are illegal," Kevin said before rubbing his hands together like early. Like before, the deck appeared in his hand and he skimmed through it. He plucked one card out and the deck disappeared. "My friend, father time has nothing on you. Please, offer me your assistance!" he said, slapping the card onto the table once more.

It took a few seconds, before there was another poof and a new creature appeared, and this time the creature was much smaller than Kuriboh. It was a tiny red clock with tiny little red arms and legs. It wore a purple cape and held a blue cane with a clock on top of it in its right hand. The clock's face was blue on top and yellow at the bottom, and the clock's ticking arms were green.

"So cool," Gus whispered, still amazed by this spell.

"Hey bud, sorry I had to summon you so tiny, but we can't draw much attention to ourselves," Kevin apologized as the clock creature floated up to him. "You see that girl with three eyes and red hair?" He pointed Boscha out, and the clock nodded. "Perfect. You know what to do."

The creature nodded before focusing on the girl in question. It waved its staff around, and the group watched as the arms of the clock staff started spinning rapidly. After a few minutes, it stopped on a red symbol.

"…Nothing's happening," Amity said, confused.

"Just watch," Kevin said while gesturing towards Boscha.

(With Boscha)

"Boscha…is that a gray hair?" one of her friends, Skara, asked.

"So not funny, idiot," Boscha growled at her 'friend,' already not in the mood for anyone's bullshit today. She had just learned recently that not only was that old human and Amity's butt buddy back, but that Bump had also allowed another one of those lesser beings into her school. What was wrong with people? Were they going insane?!

"Uh, she's not joking Boscha," one of her other lackeys, whose name she did not bother or care to learn about, backed up the claim while pulling out her pocket mirror. She opened it, and much to her horror, the girls were telling the truth. She did have a gray hair!

"What the absolute fuck?" she asked while grabbing the mirror before checking. It was then she gasped when she saw that not only did she have a gray hair, but that she was also getting crows feet.

What the fuck happening?"

Her hand started to shake, and she watched as her once smooth and clean skin started to wrinkle, with several moles forming as well. She couldn't stop herself from screaming bloody murder when she looked back to the mirror and watched as more wrinkles appeared on her once beautiful face and as her hair turned completely gray.

(With Luz and the gang)

Kevin couldn't help but laugh loudly as he watched the girl panic from her rapid aging. The others watched, shocked to see the once young girl turning old so quickly.

"What's happening to her?" Willow asked.

"Rapid aging, thanks to my little buddy here. Its name is 'Time Wizard' for a reason," Kevin cackled. "Here, watch this. Reverse it for me bud?" Kevin requested. The creature, Time Wizard, nodded before waving its staff again. The arms started to spin, and soon it landed on a blue symbol that looked like a pacifier. The gang watched Boscha, and were surprised to see her wrinkles started to disappear as her gray hair went back to its normal red.

"Reverse it!"

Boscha's screams echoed through the cafeteria once more.

"Now back to young."

A relieved sigh escaped from Boscha as she was turned back to normal. She looked around, trying to find who the hell was causing this. When her eyes landed on the laughing humans, they narrowed angrily as she fetched a red potion bottle from her bag.

"Ok now-" Kevin began to say, only to be cut off as a torrent of flames flew next to him and smacked Time Wizard in the middle of its face. The creature let a strange noise before poofing away. "No! My little buddy!" Kevin exclaimed before feeling the front of his shirt get grabbed and yanked upwards. Looking up, he stared into the narrowed and angry blue eyes of Boscha. "Oh, hello there."

"Do you think that shit's funny?!"

"Is that rhetorical? Because regardless, yes, yes I do," Kevin answered simply.

"You, me, witches duel after school," she growled down at him before forcing him back onto his seat with a push. She and her friends walked away after that, and the gang watched them leave.

"Call it a hunch, but I think she hates me."


Can we talk about that finale for a sec? Because omg, I loved it. Not to spoil anything, but Luz's development was awesome. She went from "whaaa my weak little nerd arms can't lift this bar" to "I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with ME". Like she was literally a Call of Duty protagonist like Ramirez from MW2. Only compliant I have is that it felt a bit...rushed I guess? Like things happened a bit too fast? I feel like if the episodes were like 25 to 30 minutes long they wouldn't feel that way. Overall that's literally my only complaint. I LOVE the show and can't wait for season 2.

Just wanna say 3 things before I let you all go. I just wanna say thank you all for the love and support, and I'm glad to see most of you like/don't mind Kevin. Only 1 person has said they disliked him, which is understandable. Usually at least 1 person does when I use him in stories. Hopefully this person comes around to liking him. But I do wanna say something real quick, and I guess it's a bit of a spoiler? Kevin and Luz HAVE NOT had sex. Someone thought they have and I was like ?. But yeah, wanted to clarify.

The 2nd thing I wanna say is that I've created a discord server! If anyone is interested, I'll be posting the invite link in a chapter soon. I plan on posting it in a chapter as I update this story and my MHA Captain Deku at the same time. So make sure you're on the lookout for it.

The 3rd thing is a question. What are some romantic activities that can go wrong? I have some but need a few more. Thanks for the help!

Join me next time for a d-d-d-du-du-du-duel. See ya in chapter 4!
