"You mean to tell me that you want to try and change mom?"

Odwin nodded vigorously to Amity's question before she burst out into laughter.

"That's a great joke." Said Amity before noticing that Odwin wasn't laughing. "Wait, you're serious?"

"Well...she did do some good recently. Like getting us the palistrom and believing that the coven sigil was going to kill me." Said Odwin with an awkward smile.

"The sigil SHE gave you and she only believed it because we brought back the messed up arm." Exclaimed Amity angry before turning to Odwin's arm. "By the way, how's your new arm. Dad helped you make it, right?"

Odwin held up his new arm and stared at it. It was completely metallic on the outside, having the same color as the abomaton's metal, and all the abomination goo was inside as muscle and other tissues that would help with motion. It was done this way to prevent others from using abomination magic from messing with the arm.

"It feels like a crutch since i can't use magic with it." Said Odwin dejectedly as his shoulders slumped down. "I wish i was that red haired swordsman with round glasses and a phoenix sword who can do with just injecting magic into the arm. At least HIS prosthetic arm works like he wants!"

Amity stared at her brother in confusion before Odwin cleared his throat and elaborated.

"I saw it in a dream. Point is, it feels worse than my arm with the sigil." Said Odwin with a frown.

"All the more reason to stay away from that banshee." Said Amity in a stern tone. "Got it?"

Odwin dejectedly nodded before Amity gave him a nod of her own.

"Now, there's something important i have to talk to you about. Something VERY important." Said Amity in a serious tone, getting Odwin complete attention. "I'm going to compete in the Bonesborough brawl."

Odwin went silent upon hearing this information, it was even a bit concerning for Amity before Odwin replied.

"That's it?" Asked Odwin in confusion.

"You're not surprised?"

"Have you seen everything that happened in the last few months? I think I've seen enough surprising things to last a lifetime."

Amity paused before completely agreeing with her twin.

"A bet, you say?" Asked Odalia raising a brow.

Odwin, of course, ignored all of Amity's advice on staying away from their mother. He never watched so far in the show to know the fate of his mother, but from what he saw when she let him keep his blue eyes, he could kinda probably maybe sorta possibly change her for the better. He really wasn't sure of this, but it worked with Ed and Em and his dad.

And this time, he had a plan.

"Yes." Said Odwin sheepishly as she sat in a chair across from his mother. "I want us to have a bonding day."

"Didn't we already have one of those?" Asked Odalia raising a brow with a frown.

"Yeah, but that was with Dad." Said Odwin with an awkward smile.

"You know that disappointing level of acting won't fool me. What are you really planning?" Asked Odalia as she glared at Odwin.

Odwin sighed and displayed a frown for Odalia to see. "I want to change you."

Odalia burst into laughter upon hearing the declaration. "That's a great joke." She said before noticing that Odwin wasn't laughing. "Wait, you're serious?"

Odwin nodded and his mother stared at him as if he was insane.

"We'll make a bet on if i can make you enjoy a day with your family or not." Said Odwin staring intently at his mother.

"Well, if i ignore how ridiculous this proposal is, what do i get out of this?" Asked Odalia with a mocking smile as she rolled her eyes.

Odwin then silently held up one finger. "One spell from my spell book that I'll teach you IF you win."

Odalia grinned. "Now you're talking, but what do you get if I lose? You can't possibly except me to believe it's nothing, right?"

"Hmm." Odwin mulled over it for a few seconds before answering. "One favor from you-"

"I refuse." Deadpanned Odalia immediately. "The risk of an open favor far outweighs the reward of anything you can give me. Even a hundred spells aren't worth it."

Odwin went silent and began thinking of something else. He needed something that wasn't too much that Odalia would refuse but not too small that Odalia would act disappointed.

"You'll sing an embarrassing song made by Ed and Em, that you can't punish them for or bribe them to make it less embarrassing, and dance to it...while we record everything."

"Attacking my pride, huh? Hmm...fine." said Odalia before donning an evil smile. "But on top of one spell, you have to do the same if you lose and i can directly help with the production of the song and dance as well as costumes."

Odwin cringed as he thought about what Odalia would do, but swallowed his pride and stretched his arm.

"You won't go back on your word like last time?" Asked Odwin menacingly.

"A Blight always upholds their end of the deal." Replied Odalia calmly. "But if we want, we can make an oath."

Odwin drew the magic circle for the oath and the two shook hands.

""It's a deal!"" They said in union.

"Now, you should check the rules." Said Odwin before handing Odalia a piece of paper.

"You prepared rules, but you couldn't prepare your share of the bet? I'd say I'm disappointed if i wasn't just tricked into a bet without knowing there'd be rules."

Odalia released a cold glare at her son, but he stood his ground and before long she smiled.

"Good job, I'm almost proud."

"YOU BROUGHT MOM?!?!?!" Exclaimed Amity angrily as she was about to murder Odwin while holding him by the collar. "SHE'LL KICK US OUT OF HERE AND TAKE ME TO THE COVEN TRYOUTS!!!"

The whole blight family, safe for Alador who was against Amity going to the brawl, was currently at the Bonesborough brawl ready for Amity to participate as her girlfriend was there to watch.

"Don't worry, she can't." Said Odwin nervously, getting odd looks from his siblings.

"Odwin, she looks like she's about to murder you!" Exclaimed Emira.

"That's because this little brat tricked me into his little bet!" Exclaimed Odalia angrily as she glared at Odwin with the power of a million titans.

"Anything we do today is completely pardoned and cannot be stopped." Said Odwin proudly causing Amity to go silent. "She can't force you to go to the tryouts or punish you for not going."

Ed and Em's eyes lit up in absolute joy at that moment. Even Luz smiled mischievously at the realization.

"Wait, before we do anything, Ed, hand over your concealment stone." Said Emira calmly.

"Like I need one of those."

"It's under his sleeve." Deadpanned Odalia before Emira pulled out the stone and took it off Edric with a disturbed look on her face.

"How did you-" asked Edric as his disguise was removed.

"It's where i would've put it." Said Odalia calmly with a shrug. "Why do you, Mittens, need them anyways?"

"Because dad was against this whole thing." Emira answered as she took off her concealment stone and gave both stones to Amity.

This answer gave Odalia an evil idea that put a smile on her face...one that Odwin quickly shut down.

"You can't call dad because that counts as punishment and that's against the rules." Said Odwin before feeling Odalia's urge to ground him so much that he'd meet the titan as her blood boiled hotter than the boiling sea. "A blight always upholds their end of the deal."

"Right." Said Odalia in a strained voice as she clenched her teeth and fists. "The deal."

Odalia begrudgingly calmed herself down, but was quickly angered again by Luz.

"Oooh! So pretty!" Exclaimed Luz happily as she twirled as she held Amity up.

"What's going on here?" Asked Odalia raising a brow with a deep frown.

"Luz is my girlfriend." Amity uttered by accident before covering her mouth.

"Alright, this is it! I cannot have my daughter's girlfriend be associated with a crim-" said Odalia as she put a hand on her neck tie gem.

Before Odalia could do anything, however, Luz interjected.

"Wait! Isn't everything that happens today is pardoned? Doesn't than mean you can't object to our relationship even after today?" Even though Luz didn't know the extent of the rules on Odalia, she begged that it extended to this.

And it did as Odalia quickly fell onto her knees with a defeated expression and slacked jaw.

"Today's gonna be fun." Emira smiled as she stared at her mother.

I'm not trying to redeem Odalia. I'm just trying to make her redeemable enough to live for my plans.

Toodles.
