Elsewhere, Boscha woke up, still holding her plushie. Luz had woke up a bit and saw Boscha was sucking her thumb a bit, whining just like a new born baby.
'Cute.' Luz thought.
Luz wished she could move right now so she could hug Boscha back. Boscha began opening her eyes. She yawned loudly as she sat up, rubbing her eyes.
"How long was I napping?" She asked, forgetting she sewed Luz's mouth shut.
"Mmm." Luz replied in humor.
"Oh, right." Boscha said, making a spell circle and removing the stitching, "That's better."
"You're not going to turn me back?"
"Nope." Boscha said, "Still a punishment."
"Poo." Luz said with a frown.
Boscha gave Luz a kiss.
"No fake swearing. You just have to be on punishment for a bit longer and then you can be normal again." Boscha said as she stood up, stretching as she rolled her shoulders, "Besides, I want to show Amity this version of you. Oh, we could make small plushie versions of you and sell them!"
"What? You want to make me into a brand?" Luz asked in surprise.
"Yes! Just think about it!" Boscha said with a smile.
"I mean, you already are the most popular person on the Isles." Boscha said, "I can probably get my mom on board and I can probably have designs done by the end of the day if I use you as a reference. We could make so much money with this!"
"…..You sound so much like Eda right now, you know that?" Luz asked her.
"Really? I'll take that as a compliment." Boscha said with a smile. "I'll call Amity and tell her about it."
Boscha grabbed her scroll and held her plushie next to her. She took a picture of her and Luz and sent it to Amity, before calling her.
"Hey, Mittens, what did you think of the picture I sent?" Boscha asked.
"You turned Luz into a plushy?" Amity asked.
"Yep." Boscha replied.
"And you did without me there?" Amity asked again.
"YEP." Boscha said with a smirk.
"Boscha, you need to stop with that." Amity said.
"You wanted to cuddle her, don't you?"
"... Yes."
"Then get your cute ass over here." Boscha said.
"Wait, Amity! Just say to turn me back!" Luz said.
"No. Not until I get a cuddle." Amity said before hanging up the scroll.
Boscha held Luz, making her squeaker go off.
"Looks like Mittens is in for the idea." Boscha said.
"You didn't pitch it." Luz said to her.
"Liking one product means she's gonna like the rest." Boscha said.
"Really, I'm a Product now?" Luz asked.
"No, you're my girlfriend, and your very cuddly." Boscha said, squeezing Luz and making her squeaker go off again, "I just love that sound!"
Luz groaned before the door was pushed open, revealing Amity.
"Where is our plushy girlfriend?" Amity asked.
"Wow, you really rushed over here." Boscha said.
Amity walked over and laid on the bed, wrapping her arms and legs around her.
"You're so adorable!" Amity said, hugging Luz tighter, making Luz's squeaker go off, "You squeak!?"
'These two are becoming door mats later.' Luz thought.
"Yes she does and I had this amazing idea! We should make smaller Luz plushies and sell them, I know for a face people would love them!" Boscha said.
"That's brilliant!" Amity said.
"I know!" Boscha said with a smile. "I'm a genius."
"Can I please be turned back now?" Luz asked them.
"No." They both said.
"Ugh!" Luz said.
'Why do I have to be so lovable?' Luz thought.
Amity lifted Luz and carried her as she and Boscha went somewhere. She had a feeling they would keep her like this for the rest of the day, but hopefully not the rest of her punishment. Being a coat was one thing but being a plushie was another.
"So, how do we make this cutie even cuter?" Amity asked.
"We make a smaller version, with bigger eyes." Boscha said.
"Perfect! And could she have a draw string to make her say cute things?" Amity added.
"I don't see why not. We need to test it out first." Boscha said, "And I know exactly who to use to test it."
Boscha turned to Luz and draw a spell circle, making her as small as King with a draw string popping out of her back.
"There. Now just pull the string." Boscha said.
Amity pulled the string.
"You going soft on me Blight?" Luz asked, against her will.
"EEEEEH! Just like at Grom!" Amity squealed as she hugged small, plushie Luz.
"I wonder what else she says." Boscha said while pulling Luz's string.
"I'm an otter... with a dark side." Luz said, "Okay can we stop with the string pulling?!"
"Not yet. One more time." Amity said as she grabbed the string.
"This Mama's ready for Trauma!" Luz said. (No she wasn't)
Okay his didn't seem as cute as her other phrases, making Amity and Boscha look to her with straight faces.
"….Do we need to get you to a therapist again?" Boscha asked.
"It's not like that! That was from the time me, Gus, Willow, and King went to the carnival that Tibbles held." Luz said to them.
Amity pulled Luz's string.
"Talk to the glyph, Witch!"
"That sounds slightly better but still concerning." Amity said.
"It's from a fight." Luz said, being reminded of Lilith in the process. "With an old friend."
"Is there anything that isn't threatening in this?" Boscha asked.
"Hey, you're the one who made the pull string!" Luz said as Boscha pulled it again. "Am I dead? Did I go to the bad place?"
"When did you say that?"
"My first day. I was honestly freaked out after a fairy told me to give her my skin with a huge mouth of teeth." Luz said to them.
"So that's where she went." Boscha said.
"Hmm?" Luz and Amity asked her, looking towards Boscha.
"Boscha, tell me your pet fairy didn't threaten Luz." Amity said to her.
"I mean... technically, she's not mine as she ran away months ago and hasn't come back."
"Did she have purple hair and a sort of grayish pink dress?" Luz asked.
"…Nooooo." Boscha said, lying.
The plushie wanted to glare at Boscha, but physically couldn't.
"Boscha." Luz said sternly.
"Okay, okay. That was my pet fairy, Aqua. She got out one day after I left the window open and her cage unlocked." Boscha admired.
"That fairy has been around the Owl House every once and a while, I think it still wants my skin." Luz said.
"If she's there, we're going to need to capture her." Amity said.
"I don't know when specifically, but she usually hangs out there."
"Or maybe Hooty ate her already." Amity said.
"Don't you dare say that!" Boscha shouted, surprising them. "My little Aqua is smarter than that!"
"Yeah, I don't think Hooty ate her, they seem to be friends honestly... it's creepy." Luz said.
Boscha reached down and pulled Luz's string.
"I'll be your fearless champion... Ahh!"
"Awwww, just like before Grom." Amity said, hugging plushie Luz.
"Can we stop with the string!?" Luz asked.
"Nope. We need to memorize what phrases would be best for the other Luz dolls." Boscha said.
"I'll remember this." Luz said, "I promise you I WILL remember this."
"Oh, she's so cute when she's trying to sound threatening." Boscha said as she pinched Luz's plushie face.
"If I could, I would bite you!" Luz said.
Amity pushed down on Luz, making her squeaker go off.
"That would still be cute." Amity said with a smirk.
Luz mumbled.
'When will this be over?' Luz thought.
A few hours later, Boscha and Amity had written down all of the phrases Luz had let out because of her draw string, and then they turned her back.
"I don't know when, and I don't know how, but I will get you back for that... when you least expect it." Luz said.
"Again, it's cute when you sound threatening." Boscha said as she patted Luz's cheek.
Luz groaned.
'Is this how King feels?' Luz thought before her stomach growled, showing it's been a LONG time since she had food.
"I'm going to find some food." Luz said, walking off.
Boscha put an arm around Amity's waist.
"She was a cute plushie."
"Yeah, she was." Amity said with a smile, "So... does she count as the prototype?"
"I guess and she's all ours. Why?" Boscha asked.
"Because great inventors always keep the prototype."
"Oh without question." Boscha said as she and Amity walked off to Boscha's workshop. "Now let's go, we need to make at least a few Luz dolls while we can."
Luz walked into Boscha's room and grabbed the training wand.
'No... not yet.' Luz thought, 'When they least expect it, then I'll strike.'
Luz put the training wand in back pocket and went off to the kitchen to eat, she felt like she could have an entire dinner to herself right now. Who knew having all your organs and blood being turned to stuffing could make you so hungry. Luz accidently bumped into the door frame and squeaked.
"I still have the squeaker!?"
"YEP!" Amity and Boscha shouted, hearing the squeaker.
"Get it out!" Luz said.
"NO!" They yelled back.
"URGH!" Luz groaned as she held her face.
'I will get them for this.' Luz thought.
She hit her head against the door frame out of annoyance, releasing another squeak. Luz groaned again as she made her way to the Triplet manor kitchen.
'They're lucky I love them.'
Luz was still going to get them back but she wasn't going to be cruel of heartless. She was going to be creative. But first, a BIG hoagie with a side of chips and root beer for Luz's meal.
'A LOT of root beer.' Luz thought as she entered the kitchen and opened the fridge.
"Oh, my sweet fattening beverage, how I love you." Luz said, "And I don't care if you make me bloat. I'll drink you slow enough."
Luz then poured herself a full glass and drank it slowly.
"Hey, squeaky." Boscha said, coming up to Luz.
"Hmm." Luz let out, giving Boscha the silent treatment as she began eating her hoagie.
"Oh, don't be like that." Boscha said, putting her arms around Luz.
Another squeak was heard, making Luz frown as she took a BIG bite like a savage of her sandwich.
"Lulu, it's cute." Boscha said, rubbing her cheek against Luz's cheek.
"It's degrading as a human. I can't go into fights with a speaker in my body! It's not intimidating if it goes off at the wrong time." Luz said.
"Well, it's affective to your girlfriends."
"Useless since I would never fight my girlfriends." Luz said before eating some Titan spice chips.
"I was talking about attraction." Boscha said, "We find it cute and adorable."
Boscha took one of the chips and ate it as Luz focused more on eating than paying attention to her.
"I am a witch in training with a legendary sword, I can't be adorable all the time." Luz said to her.
"I beg to differ." Boscha said.
Boscha kissed Luz on the cheek as Luz reached for her root beer, drinking it again.
"Okay... let Amity and I enjoy your squeaker for now, and we'll remove it in a couple of days." Boscha said, admitting defeat.
"Promise?" Luz asked.
"Promise." Boscha said.
"Everlasting oath, promise?" Luz added.
"Damn you're making this hard." Boscha said, "Deal."
Luz held her hand out to make Boscha shake on it.
"Seriously?!" Boscha asked.
"Either you shake with an official oath or I go sleep back at the owl house for 2 weeks." Luz said.
Boscha knew she couldn't handle that, she needed Luz here. Who else would she turn into random stuff!? Amity doesn't enjoy it, at least Luz does half the time.
"I swear, Amity and I will take away the squeaker in 4 days." Boscha said as she drew a spell circle for the oath. "And if I forget, I'll be shocked with a tiny bit of lightning every time I delay."
"That... seems painful." Luz said.
"Not really, it's just static cling you get form a carpet." Boscha said as she shook hands with Luz, seeking the other. "There, I've promise. Now stop ignoring me!"
"If I have to." Luz said, grabbing Boscha's shirt collar and pulling her into a big kiss.
Boscha was surprised by this but didn't question it as she kissed Luz back. They separated.
"You're amazing, you know that, right?" Boscha asked.
"I know. So DON'T forget it." Luz said with a boop to Boscha's nose.
"I won't."
Luz smiled before going back to her lunch, still hungry and planning to finish her food. She even slapped Boscha's hand away as she tried to grab her chips.
"Ow." Boscha said, holding her hand.
"My food." Luz said.
"Meany." Boscha said.
'Now isn't that the pot calling the kettle black.' Luz thought with a smirk, eating her chips.
"Hey, you two making out without me?" Amity asked, walking into the room.
"No. I'm just having lunch and making Boscha sweat to take out the squeaker." Luz said, eating some more.
"What? Why?" Amity asked, looking to Boscha.
"She threatened to sleep at the owl house for two weeks." Boscha said, pouting and crossing her arms.
'Damn it.' Amity thought, 'That's a good threat.'
Amity would have to keep that in mind for later.
"Come on, Boscha, I finished the design for the Luz plushie." Amity said.
"Already?!" Boscha asked in shock.
"I mean, she's the star student in the abomination track." Luz said with a shrug. "But I better get my fair cut, 60%."
"60?!" Amity and Boscha asked in shock, looking at Luz.
"Did I stutter?" Luz asked, "Let me remind you that you only are able to do this because you TURNED ME into a plushie! I am the reason this is possible! And if you want to try and weasel your way around that... well."
Luz pulled out a wand.
"I'm sure a Boscha and Amity Plushie will sell just as well."
Both girls held their hands up and slowly backed out of the kitchen.
"60% is more than fair! We can get by with just 20% each, we're rich anyway! Right, Amity?" Boscha asked Amity.
"20%, fully agree!" Amity said, quickly nodded.
"Good."
Luz flipped the wand in her hand before putting it back in her pocket, eating her lunch with more of a victorious feeling.
"Now, why don't you show me the plushie? I didn't get a good look before."
"Sure. Just give us a second!" Boscha said as she and Amity rushed out of the kitchen.
About a minute later, the two came back with the prototype Luz plushie.
"Cute." Luz said.
'And it really does look like me. Like a little baby me.' Luz thought.
"So... do you like it?"
"Hmm, she looks good but…." Luz said, getting up and walking closer. "Her eyes, they don't seem like the right brown."
"What? How can you tell?" Boscha asked.
"Because I know my eyes." Luz said.
"But it's still brown. People won't know the difference." Boscha said.
"But I will know. And I find it offensive you don't think my eyes need to be the right type of brown. As a person or as a plushie!" Luz said, turning away in offense.
"Luz... what the hell are you doing?" Amity asked.
Luz sputtered a bit before chuckling.
"I'm kidding! I love it!" Luz said, revealing she was joking. "I'm just pretending to be like a critic, they can be so catty at the slightest error with products."
"Titan you nearly gave me a heart attack." Boscha said, "I really thought you didn't like it."
""Consider that part ONE of my payback for turning me into a plushie." Luz said as she was halfway finished done her lunch. "The next part, you won't see coming."
"That's concerning." Amity said, "Sucks for you Boscha."
"Oh, you're also getting it, Amity." Luz said.
"What?" Amity asked in shock.
"Can't have Boscha being lonely as a plushie, can we?" Luz said with a smirk, "Besides, you decided to help her instead of turning me back."
"But Luz!" Amity said to her.
"Seniority doesn't help you!" Luz quickly said, "Now, why don't you guys fix this so it's accurate."
They didn't question Luz, even if she was just joking before. They did not wanting her to turn them into plushies, so they left her to finish lunch to fix the eye color of her plushy.
'Safe to say I think I'm the head of this relationship.'
A sudden tweeting came to her ear as Luz turned to see a familiar red palisman flying through the window with a sad look in his face.
"Flapjack?"
The red cardinal nodded to Luz as a lone tear fell from his eye, landing in the table and walking to Luz. It chirped once as they looked eyes, telling Luz all she needed to know without saying any real words.
'Hunter…..is dead?' Luz thought, dropping her food in shock.
Luz closed her eyes and looked down.
"N-n-no... not again." Luz said.
Once again, someone died because they helped her.
'Why do I ruin everyone's life!?' Luz thought angrily.
Once again, Luz was blaming herself for the death of someone she considered close. Sure, they only interacted a few times but she considered Hunter like a brother but now he was gone! Luz's legs got shaky, and she felt like she was going to cry.
"Tweet tweet." Flapjack said.
"Huh?" Luz let out, looking to the palisman.
"Tweet tweet." He said firmly, looking Luz in the eyes.
'It's not your fault.' He was trying to say.
"How? How is it not my fault?" Luz asked, "He died, because he was trying to help me."
Flapjack continued to chirp at Luz, not breaking eye contact as he spoke his mind.
'He knew the risks and accepted them, he needed to find the truth about what his "uncle" was truly up to and who he truly was. That dip in the Titan blood helped him see it but meeting you, his first true friend, gave him more strength than he had ever had in his life.'
"I feel like he is where he needs to be." Flapjack said.
In a dark world, Hunter rose from black water with a gasp!
"W-w-where am I?"
"Fear not." A voice said.
"Titan?" Hunter asked.
"Your story is not done yet... you have a bigger role." Titan said, "You will soon learn what it is."
"O-Okay but…..where am I?" Hunter asked, looking around. "Is this…the afterlife?"
"No, but you will find peace soon." Titan said, "We have much to discuss."
In the Demon Realm, under the Owl House, Odalia was using a phasing spell to move under the ground with ease.
'Soon Human, soon you'll lose everything.'
At the Triplet house, Boscha went into her room.
"Oh, Lu-Lu!" Boscha said.
Luz had finished eating and headed up to Boscha's room, this time with Flapjack and Amethyst on her shoulders. One was for emotional support and the other was to share some…grim news.
"We fixed the- what's wrong?"
Luz looked up to Boscha, opening her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She didn't exactly know how to say this.
"Hey, I know that bird." Boscha said.
Flapjack nodded to Boscha as he flew towards Maya and conversed with her.
"Luz, what's going on?"
"He's….gone. Hunter, the Golden Guard and the hooded witch that helped us…he's gone." Luz said, flat and broken voiced.
"O-oh."
"And it's…I feel it's-" Luz said before Boscha coated her in magic.
She moved her finger to pull Luz closer before she hugged her tightly, making the human cry in her shoulder.
"It's not your fault. And if you say it is, I'll make your mouth into a zipper and close it." Boscha said softly, crying a small bit for the fallen ally, "You are not responsible for this, everyone makes their own decisions, he made his and he died helping others. That is a choice he made, and that's a choice we make with our weapons."
Luz didn't say anything as she continued to hold her, still crying into her shoulder at the death of her friend.
"It will be okay, Luz."
"….I know. I know." Luz said, feeling relief already compared to the last time she felt this guilt.
"Hey, think about it like this, you still have Eda." Boscha said, "Not everyone is gone."
"Yeah, you're right. King too. I still have them." Luz said smiling a bit.
"Yeah, now come on, let's go cuddle. Would that make you feel better?"
"Can Amity come too?"
"Sure."
"Did somebody say my name?" Amity asked, popping her head into the room.
"Yes, come cuddle."
Nodding to her, Amity moved to the bed and sat next to Luz to hug/cuddle her other side.
It was a bad day... and the following week won't get any better.
