There were only four days left till the huge party and Amity was losing herself. She was running around the Owl House checking if everything was ready. She had been at it this morning with everybody. Her Dad, her siblings, her friends, some civilians and even the spot where Belos died.
"King, what are the socks nailed to the fireplace for?!" Amity exclaimed.
"It's a Christmas thing." King said. "My sock is the little ducky."
"Okay! Raine, music!" Raine was standing by a music stand playing their violin.
"Amity, I don't know if I can replicate human music!" Raine said. "It's a whole lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be."
"Keep trying!" Amity demanded before moving to the kitchen where Lilith was dicing some herbs. "How go the herbs?"
"Amity, I've been dicing for three hours." Lilith said before removing her hand from her knife, causing it to detach and to be stuck on the handle. "My hand is stuck on the knife."
"Use the other hand." Amity pulled a knife from the drawer and forced it into Lilith's hand. "Come on, we don't have time!"
She ran to the fireplace to analyse the stockings and froze at one aspect that left her baffled. "Hooty! Why is there a sock with your name on it?" She pointed to a dirty and rotten sock nailed to the fireplace.
Hooty slithered upwards. "Oh, that's my sock. Can't talk long, gotta go back to making my nutcracker soldiers."
Hooty slithered back to clumsily apply some glue on one nutcracker and stick it to another in order to make it resemble a Coven soldier.
Amity walked outside to make a call on her scroll. "Gus! How goes the gingerbread house?!"
On the other end, Gus was trying to fight off something with a broom while using his magic to have the phone float near his ear.
"Amity, I don't know if we can finish it on time! Tinella has ate a great deal of it and she wants more." Gus replied.
"What's the problem?!" Amity asked.
"Well, when I say a great deal, she has ate a great deal and she has grown in size."
Turns out, Tinella has grown so much in size that she was now resembling a giant snowball wanting to devour the house.
"The house!" Tinella cried while snarling like a beast. "I wequire the house. Do you hear the gwoling coming from my tummy?" A loud monstrous growl emitted from Tinella's whole body, causing Gus some disgust.
"Amity, I need help!" Gus exclaimed.
"And don't worry, you'll get it." Amity said. "I'll call Jerbo."
"No! No!" But too late, Amity had hung up and Gus went back to fighting Tinella.
"Another five minutes and I will west." Tinella said.
Back outside The Owl House, Amity was walking up towards the house until a rocket with her father hanging on flew over her head.
"Hi mittens, just working on a few modifications!" Alador said.
"Make sure they're done in time!" Amity commanded.
As she turned around, she suddenly was stopped by Eda whom had her arms folded. "You know kid, maybe you should have told Luz about her surprise party." Eda said.
"Then it would ruin the idea of a surprise!" Amity exclaimed. "Eda, Luz is planning a party for all of us and I just feel so bad. She deserves to be thanked for everything she has done for us."
"Kid, sounds like you're making a big issue about something that isn't worth getting upset about." Eda said. "I mean look at you." She pointed at her head. "You have eight vessels bursting due to the stress. Maybe Luz might not need a party. She could be just grateful for us being in her life."
"It's not enough!" Amity marched towards the house. "I can't let Luz down. We are going to make sure this is the best Christmas for her and for the Boiling Isles! No matter how many vessels I burst due to stress!" As she said this, her nose began to bleed but she didn't notice as she marched back into the house. "Nice job Raine but it could be better!"
Eda sighed with empathy towards the kid. "Oh Titan, that kid really needs help. I should probably intervene but…It is Luz's girlfriend. I should wait till things go sideways. But I wonder how Hunter and Willow handling the tree?"
At the Park residence, Hunter and Willow were decorating the tree with baubles, tinsels, wooden models of reindeers carved by Hunter, small candy canes and a star on top with the help of The Collector.
"And as they say in the Human Realm, Viola." Hunter said.
"Wow! That looks incredible!" The Collector said as them and the would-be-couple stood in front of the tree admiring it.
"Yup." Willow agreed.
"Terrific."
"Incredible!"
"Flawless."
"Magnificent."
The three stood in awkward silence before The Collector broke the awkward silence. "Well, I'm going to go." The Collector summoned his star and jumped on. "I've left Francois for a long time so I'll see you later byeeeeeeeeeeee!" He flew off, leaving Hunter and Willow alone.
Hunter and Willow gave each other awkward glances before looking away, blushing. They were alone again. And with how intense their feelings were getting, they don't know if they could wait till the huge party.
"So…Do you wanna do something?" Hunter asked.
Willow looked at her scroll and cringed. "Gus said that Amity's being a bit of a control freak and we should save ourselves. I don't know Gus, is my friend." Then she got a notification. "Oh and Gus said that I know you would have this moral quandary so for the love of Titan just leave me and save you and Hunter so you can do some kiiiiiyakking!" Her cheeks turned red.
"Kayaking?" Hunter asked. "I don't know if I wanna go on a boat after river rafting."
"Me neither." Willow made her scroll vanish. "Listen, Hunter, do you wanna go…" Willow rubbed her elbow awkwardly. "…I don't know. Do something. Like…"
"Carving?" Hunter suggested.
Willow gave a nervous laugh. "I mean, sure, but…You know what, I had nothing. So, you could probably teach me carving."
Hunter smiled. "Sure." He and Willow walked out of the house to do some carving together.
"Careful, I might accidentally cut myself." Willow said.
"It's okay. I cut myself as well. A ton of times." Hunter explained. "I even cut my torso."
Willow raised a brow. "How?"
"Impossible reasons." Hunter replied. "I swear, I'll make sure you won't get hurt. Or otherwise I'd have to tend to your injuries."
Willow's cheeks turned red at the idea of Hunter tending to her injuries. "I wouldn't mind."
