"Okay, I've set everything up. I'd ask why you need all this to make up, but I'm not paid enough for that" said Odwin calmly as he set up two crystal ball in front of Amity and Willow

"Ooh, is it like an offering for the ritual?" Asked Luz excitedly

"But, we didn't pay you anything." Said Gus in confusion

"That was a joke" deadpanned Odwin before he started walking away "have a good reconciliation."

As Odwin walked away, he chalked off getting Willow and Amity back together. With that, an entire episode was skipped and Willow wouldn't have her brain fried.

Now, it was time to think about the future. Grom was right around the corner

Odwin was a big fan of Grom. The monster, not the event. He couldn't care less about that. The monster, however, was an enigma he studied every year.

What he wanted was to make his own version of grom. He wasn't gonna use it, but it was nice to have. As he thought those words, he suddenly bumped into someone and fell.

"Oops, sorry for tha-" said Odwin before noticing who he bumped into "oh, Skara! I'm so sorry. I wasn't paying attention" He said as he helped her up. He started feeling his cheeks heat up from embarrassment.

"It's fine! I'm okay! Hehe" Said Skara with a big smile and a nervous laugh as she got up herself. "Well, i have a class to get to so...see ya at our bard session."

"See ya" Said Odwin waving as Skara left before his mind drifted back to Grom "You know? It'd be nice Skara was there with me at gro- what?... nope, i don't have a crush on Skara. Stop thinking about that, brain."

Odwin and Skara did many bard practice sessions together after the maze incident and through them, sure he loved her determination, how easygoing she could be like her willingness to pardon some his stupider actions like the maze thing and how cool she can be and beautiful her music is.

But that doesn't mean anything! Why does his face heat up sometimes when she's around? There's no way he has a crush on her, right?

_-_-_

He has a crush on her.

'Are crushes supposed to happen so suddenly like this? Am i sick or something?' He thought to himself as he stared as Skara playing music to control fire 'man she's so enchanting when she plays- no! Get those thoughts out!' He said before he slapped his face on both cheeks at once, dropping his bard magic book that he forgot to write in.

"Od, are you okay?" Skara asked in confusion as she approached Odwin after witnessing him suddenly slap himself "why did you suddenly-"

"I'm fine! I'm fine!" Said Odwin in a panic, his face burning up as he tried thinking of an excuse "uh, it was just a...bug?"

"Okay?" Skara said cheerfully before an alarm rang "oh, it looks like our time for today is over. Wouldn't want to continue doing this all night like last time."

"Yeah, we wouldn't." said Odwin with a weak smile, feeling that the time was too short as Skara packed her bag "see you at school."

"See ya" said Skara cheerfully as she left the area owned by the Blights.

Odwin sighed as he watched Skara leave. He really wanted the bard session to last long even though he wasn't paying attention to writing about the magic.

Odwin soon went back into Blight manor and flopped onto a couch dejectedly before groaning. His siblings, clearly noticing his mood, decided to check on him.

"Hey, what's wrong little bro" said Ed with a smile as he peeked over the back of the couch

"Yeah, usually you're happy after these doing bard magic with Skara." Added Emira cheerfully

Odwin turned to lay on his back "what does having a crush feel like?"

"Why are you asking?" Asked Ed before he and Emira gasped

"You have a crush on Skara!" said Emira excitedly

"I think? Do crushes just appear like this normally?" Asled Odwin in confusion "what am i even supposed to do with it?"

Amity suddenly entered the room holding a book "Maybe try to tell her? What's the worse that could happen?"

"That's rich coming from you! How about YOU tell Luz about YOUR feelings" said Odwin with a deep frown

"W-what?! I don't have a crush on Luz!" Said Amity defensively

""Oooooh!"" Exclaimed Ed and Em in union.

"You've been trying to find a way to ask her to grom for the past week!" Said Odwin crossing his arms "wait...should i ask Skara to go with me to grom? How do i do that?"

"Don't worry, little brother" said Emira with a big smile "we'll help you."

"Yeah, count on us." added Ed cheerfully

"Considering how your grom dates will go, i doubt this will end well, but sure." deadpanned Od causing Ed and Em to worry a little.

"Not gonna be a part of this." was all that Amity said before leaving the room

Nonetheless, Ed and Em began teaching their younger brother how to ask his crush to grom.

_-_-_

Later

"Okay, first before we on an illusion of Skara, you need to learn the basics" said Ed with a smile "like honesty!"

"Honesty is one of the key parts of a successful relationship" added Emira with a grin "now, try being honest with us"

"Did you get this advice from a random book at the library?" Asked Odwin with a frown

As if on que, Edric hid some book behind his back.

Emira cleared her throat "doesn't matter! What matters is...honesty." she said as she made the word 'honesty' appear above her

Odwin, not knowing anything better he could do, sighed "you know the dead shadowy soul me that saved you from the angry me?" He asked and Ed and Em nodded "he sorta bet your lives on whether or not you'd become better siblings to save you. So, if you didn't get better i would've been forced to murder you, brutally might i add"

A pregnant pause took place. No one uttered from the shock at how casually Od dropped this information. Edric recovered the fastest and spoke.

"Okay, too much honesty." Said Ed absentmindedly

"Yeah, let's just move on to practice" added Emira traumatized

It was clear that some things should stay unknown.

_-_-_

The now semi traumatized Ed and Em created a fake stage for Odwin's practice with a fake Skara.

Amd the results were...

"Wow" said Ed calmly

"Utter failure" Em deadpanned

Odwin couldn't help but groan as Em continued.

"I mean, your only nearly successful attempt was was ruined by you canceling the illusion after jumping out of the window" said Emira in confusion

"If i was good at this i wouldn't have asked for help." Said Odwin as he crossed his arms. "I'm the guy who gets distracted by a light spell, remember?"

"Rrrright" said Ed tiredly

"With all your magical talent, you can't craft something to help you?" Asked Emira tiredly

Suddenly, Edric had an idea. "Wait! What if you look into the future to see the best set of choices to take."

"Ed, that's-" said Emira about to tell him it was a bad idea out of habit before taking in what he said "-genius. How did you-"

Edric took up a proud pose as Emira got more and more confused by the fact that her twin came up with an actually great idea.

"But that just feels wrong!" Odwin exclaimed

Ed and Em stared at Odwin feeling utter confused and very much disturbed.

"You talked about murdering us in cold blood so casually about an hour ago" said Emira with a deep frown

"Brutally murdering us, might i add" added Edric

"But i didn't because i bet in your favor and won" said Odwin crossing his arms with a smile before he thought about the bet again "wait, didn't i bet against myself? So that means i bet against you and lost?"

All this mental chaos and oddities gave Emira a migraine "Ow, my head" she said as she rubbed her temples "I need to go take a rest"

Ed and Od staref at her as she left and the moment she madr it out, Ed spoke.

"Soooo, how about you read her mind instead?" Asked Ed with a smile

Odwin's shoulders slumped before he silently left the room as well.

_-_-_

It was grom day and at Hexside, the smell of romance filled the air...or was it the smell of abominations decorating the place with balloons?Regardless, it was a good day for nearly everyone.

Odwin walked around with Amity, both not having luck with asking their crush to grom.

"Why is it so hard? I mean, making Eldritch horrors is cake in comparison" said Odwin with a deep frown "maybe that's just what this fleshy prison got from dad."

"Doubt it. If you were, you wouldn't be trying in the first place" said Amity with a smile "you'd probably be dating someone from the bottom the barrel if not from under it."

At way the line was delivered, Odwin couldn't help but giggle. Amity's smile grew as she knew she hit the target.

"If mom heard that, she'd kill us" said Odwin with a large smile

Before Amity could reply, she suddenly bumped into someone and dropped some books she was holding. "Hey, watch it nitwit- oh, hi, Luz...and co. Sorry about that."

It was Luz who was with Gus and Willow.

"No problem" said Luz cheerfully as she picked up Amity's book. She then picked up a note that was with the books "here's your note."

Amity immediately snatched the paper like Minerva snatches a fairy when she's hungry.

"Oh, you got some quick grabbers." Said Luz cheerfully as she made pinching gestures with her hands.

"It's...private" replied Amity

"It shouldn't be" said Odwin calmly

Before Amity could do anything in retaliation, Bump's voice was heard from the school speakers.

It was time to pick the grom royalty.

"Attention Hexside students, this is your principal speaking"

Everyone waited with bated breath for the grand reveal...except Odwin. Knowing the plot really dims the excitement sometimes.

"This year, i have the privilege to bestow our greatest grom honor to...Amity Blight, our grom queen."

Odwin was still more worried about asking Slara to grom.

_-_-_

Tell me how i did. Leave a review.

Toodles.
