Luz and Boscha were in their room at the Owl House. Luz could tell that someone was not happy.

"Uh, Boscha? I feel like you're a little upse-"

"Not fucking duh! What was the one thing I said we wouldn't do?!"

"Okay, listen-"

"But, no! You just had to help the girl that makes your knees weak!"

"W-what? A-A-Amity doesn't-"

"Luz, I have access to every emotion you have, you think I don't notice when our heart gets a little faster every time you get near her?"

"Even if that's true, and I'm not saying it is, why would Amity fall for someone like me?" Luz said, "Let's just go back to seeing what we should wear to Grom."

Luz pulled out a black dress with a yellow moon on the chest.

"Okay, not bad." Boscha thought.

"You think?" Luz asked, "Let's put that into the maybe pile."

Luz pulled out a purple otter suit and made a noise of approval.

"What the fuck is that?!"

"It's an Otter costume."

"We are not wearing that!"

"You're no fun!" Luz groaned, "Besides, it's not like you have anything."

"I... I could ask my mom to bring my dress over."

"You haven't told her about us, have you?"

"No."

"You have to tell her." Luz said.

"Oh, I don't want to hear it, Perra!"

"I don't know why, but you swearing at me in Spanish is actually funny."

"You are very weird."

"Of course I'm weird, I have three eyes, another person's voice in my head, and can draw a yellow circle in the air which creates magic."

Luz's phone buzzed and she looked at it.

/Mija, please talk to me, I'm very worried. I'm sorry I tried to send you to camp. I just want to talk to you./

Luz looked down in shame... until Hooty came in.

"Oh, Luz, you have a guest."

Luz smacked Hooty away.

"Hooty! No touching!" She looked at the door, "Amity!"

"If that... bird tube, ever talks to me again, I'm going to destroy it." Amity said, pulling feather's out of her hair, "Are you ready to train?"

"What should Boscha and I wear to Grom? This says, witch with a dark side. But this says, I'm an Otter... with a dark side."

Boscha took control and tossed the otter suit on the floor.

"Doesn't look like Boscha wants to wear it." Amity said.

"It's a work in progress." Luz said, "This'll be fun."

"Luz, this is serious! If you can't defeat Grom, everyone on the Boiling Isles will have to face their worst fears."

Hooty moved close and pressed against Amity's face.

"Want to hear my worst fear?"

Amity started beating Hooty, much to Boscha's delight, while Luz tried to hold Amity back.

"Grom will transform into your darkest fears. What are you afraid of, Luz?"

"Wanna say our greatest fears? On three- one two... being alone forever!" Edric said

"Being stuck with you forever." Emira said.

Edric groans.

"In preparation, I've made a list!"

She pulls a list from her pocket and holds it out to Amity. She grabs it and reads it. Edric and Emira read it, chuckle, and each draw a spell circle. A huge version of Luz's phone appears. The screen shows a guy tipping a white fedora, and a message bubble that says "M'LADY". Luz yelps.

"Jerks online who wanna debate!"

A cat with a human face appears.

"Luz, help me! Help!" The cat... thing said.

"No! Human souls trapped in cat bodies!"

A carton of milk appears, floating in the air, and pours milk into a glass in Luz's hand.

"NOOOO! I'm lactose intolerant!"

"Does that mean I'm lactose intolerant, now?" Boscha asked.

"Not enough. The reason I can't face Grom- it goes deeper than things that just gross me out. What's your real fear, Luz?"

"Fine, don't answer me. Just pay attention to you green haired crush."

Luz looks up at the Owl House.

"My real fear... is that Eda thinks I'm too fragile to do this! And if she's right, I'll never be a real witch!"

Edric and Emira look to each other and draw a conjoined spell circle. A giant illusion of Eda looks down at Luz, flips her hair, and draws a spell circle.

"You're inadequate."

Luz is put in a high chair with a bib that says "weak baby". Back in Eda's room, the real Eda looks at herself in the mirror.

"Me-ow. Still got it."

"Nooooo!"

Eda goes into the front yard where Luz, Amity, Edric and Emira are. She takes off her bowtie.

"I get it. Ditch the yellow. Is that supposed to be me?"

She looks at the illusion of herself, which smiles down at her.

"Dang, I look great. Wait a sec- you're training to be Grom queen!"

"So what if I am!"

She topples in her high chair.

"You thing training will help against Grom? Luz, you always go overboard and I end up bailing you out. Now, what's the fun in watching a kid get eaten by a monster if they're my kids?"

"Well, maybe you'll have fun watching me defeat Grom!"

She karate-chops the cat, and it disappears.

"Luz, I don't think you're ready, but we're literally out of time." Amity said.

"I'll take it."

"Well, I've lived a long enough life I guess." Boscha thought.

"Thanks for the vote in confidence, Boscha." Luz thought.
