Luz was extremely nervous. It's been a year since her first Grom, and a lot had changed in that time, especially with the girl that she had first gone with as friends...Amity...

Now that they were dating, Luz had her second chance. Last time, Luz was pretty clueless about Amity's crush on her, so when she found out Amity feared getting rejected by someone, she offered to go with her instead of the mystery person Amity wanted to ask, thinking she was just being a good friend. When Luz found out Amity wanted to ask her, a lot clicked at once. That was why she started to act weird around me...

Luz was getting dressed. Thankfully, neither Luz nor Amity would have to take on Grometheus this year...that is, unless this year's Grom Queen isn't able to contain Grometheus on her own, in which case Luz and Amity will be the backup in case it gets out. That stressed Luz out a little, but on the bright side, she's getting a chance to wear her new blue dress. This year she decided to embrace more of her feminine side, especially since her hair started growing out a bit. Plus, she wanted to look perfect for Amity.

Eda was asked again to chaperone the dance. This time, though, she was being accompanied by Raine. Eda had really made an effort not to drive them away this time, and Raine recognized that they may have given up on Eda too soon all those years ago. Eda had wished she could be out on the dance floor with Raine instead of chaperoning, but Raine promised her something after the dance, so Eda didn't have much of an issue.

Eda and Raine were out in the living room waiting for Luz to get ready. They both rocked suits and ties. Luz came out of her room and Eda smiled at her.

"You look great, kiddo!" Eda patted Luz's shoulder ecstatically.

"I am super nervous though..." Luz was flustered and fiddling with her fingers.

"Hey, don't worry. I was nervous at my Grom too," Eda said.

"I can't imagine you being nervous about anything," Luz said.

"Well, believe it or not, Eda was really nervous when she asked me to dance," Raine said as they linked their arms with Eda's.

"You and Raine went to Grom? Wow, mysterious past..."

Hooty opened the door.

"Guess who's at the door, hoot hoot?"

Luz jumped up. "Amity!"

Amity came into the house, wearing a new red dress. Luz stood flabbergasted, barely able to get her words out at how gorgeous Amity was.

"Y...you l...look good, Amity..."

"Thanks, Luz...y...you do too..."

"Alright, you love birds," Eda said, "let's get going."

Now that Amity was there, they were on their way to the school for Grom. King came with them to host Grom again with Gus. As they arrived, everyone was waiting in anticipation as Boscha stepped into the room. She had potions on her and exuded an aura of confidence much like when she would play Grudgby. She was ready to face Grometheus in the arena.

In the corner of the room was Willow. She got stood up by her date with no explanation as to why, and she felt heartbroken. She held a lot of her hurt in though, and figured maybe watching the fight between Boscha and Grometheus would get her mind off of her failed love life. Things were a bit better between her and Boscha now, but Boscha seemed very withdrawn around her lately.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you this year's Grom Queen, Boscha!" Gus riled up the audience.

"That's right," King said, "our Grugby champion will also be the Grom champion this year! Everyone give a round of applause!"

The crowd applauded as Boscha took her position. Principal Bump pressed the button and the floor opened up. Boscha was prepared as Grometheus started to come up and towered over her. Boscha readied a potion. As Grometheus lunged toward her, Boscha dodged out of the way and threw the potion, which blew up in Grometheus's face. However, it didn't do much damage to Grometheus.

Boscha's confidence was starting to fade. She was starting to realize she didn't have as much control over the situation as she thought she would. But she couldn't run away now. She had to face Grom, or it could really affect her reputation...

In truth though, it wasn't necessarily her reputation she was most worried about.

Boscha readied another potion. This time, she got closer to Grometheus to get the potion in its mouth, but Grometheus grabbed her.

No, my fear!

Grometheus shrunk down to a humanoid shape. Boscha had a look of terror on her face as she saw who Grometheus was resembling...

"Willow?" Boscha backed up in fear.

Willow's eyes widened. Is that me?

"Why can't you admit how you feel about me?"

"I..."

"Why do you push me away, Boscha?"

Boscha was starting to tear up and she ran off, with Grometheus chasing her through the school. Luz and Amity ran after them.

Willow just stood there, dumbfounded. She had never seen Boscha run away from anything in her life. Does she...have feelings for me? Willow suddenly had a look of determination on her face. She ran off in the direction the others went.

When Willow caught up with the others in the cafeteria, Luz and Amity were fighting Grometheus while Boscha was cowering in the corner.

"Boscha?"

Boscha didn't look up. "Go away..."

"Listen, Boscha...I know you're scared...I'd be scared out of my mind too if I were in your situation...but please...I need you to talk to me..."

"About what? How I keep pushing you away? How I keep screwing everything up between us? I...I can't..."

Willow came closer. "Please, Boscha..."

Boscha looked up. Willow had a kind, reaffirming smile that warmed Boscha's heart. Willow had her hand outstretched. Boscha looked into Willow's eyes and grabbed her hand. Willow helped Boscha to her feet.

Luz and Amity were still fighting Grometheus. It seemed that Grometheus was more prepared this time, as it was able to knock Luz down.

"Luz!"

Grometheus lunged toward Luz, and Amity stood in the way, bracing for the worst...when all of a sudden, a potion blew up on Grometheus, attracting its attention to what was behind it.

"Hey ugly!" Boscha yelled. "Come get some!"

Grometheus lunged towards Boscha. Boscha held the rest of her potions, and as Grometheus got close, Willow summoned a vine to grab the potions from Boscha and crammed the vine into Grometheus's mouth. The potions exploded inside of Grometheus, causing it to scream in pain and topple over, retreating back into the arena and down below the school in defeat.

"We did it!" Willow said excitedly as she hugged Boscha. They both got flustered as they awkwardly broke the hug. They were awarded their crowns.

Back at the party, Boscha decided to finally try to talk to Willow.

"Listen, Willow...about what you heard...just know that...oh Titan, why is this so hard?"

Willow put a hand on Boscha's shoulder. "Take your time."

"Okay," Boscha took a deep breath. "I'm sorry for always pushing you away...I just...can't really process how I feel about you...you are such an amazing person and...I haven't been so amazing to you...and I'm truly sorry for the way I treated you..."

Willow hugged Boscha.

"Do you...want to dance with me, Boscha?"

Boscha nodded her head yes. "I'd love that..."

The rest of the night went off without a hitch. Luz and Amity finally had their Grom moment as girlfriends. Willow and Boscha, as Grom queens, were the highlight of the night as they danced together. Even Edric and Emira had dates this time. For everyone here, this was certainly a Grom they would never forget.

After everyone else left for the night, Eda and Raine stayed behind and turned the music back on. Raine had made a promise to Eda, and that promise was for them to relive their own Grom moment, just the two of them...this time, without an audience...
