Esper walked with Luz to the school, not wanting her to have all the fun today. She knows that Gus wants her to appear for his Human Appreciation Society meeting and Luz is very excited for it. She figured it would be a good idea since Luz is 100% pure human, unlike her who is a full witch albiet raised in the Human Realm. As they reached the school, they noticed Gus and Willow talking. They then heard the word 'Undercover', confusing them.

Luz raised an eyebrow, "Undercover from what?" Gus, who was surprised to heard Luz, then slams the cowl he was holding over her head, causing Luz to squeak, "Behold your new cowl!" He then noticed Esper next to Luz and started blushing, "Oh! Uh, hi! Esper, I didn't expect you to come too!"

Esper did not notice his blushing, "Eh, Willow asked if she could show me the plantlife of the Boiling Isles since I wasn't raised here and I figured it could be fun."
Gus nods, "Yeah! Yeah! That does sound pretty fun, uh, you two have fun!" He was acting suspicious as Willow frowned at him. Luz then sniffs the cowl she was in, "On the Boiling Isles, new things smell old." Gus chuckles awkwardly at this, "Yep. Put it on. Hide your ears. Wanna keep you under wraps 'till the big reveal."

Luz nods at her little friend, "Oh, a showman. I totally get it. You bring the razzle, I'll bring the dazzle!" She then throws handfuls of confetti. Willow and Gus stare at her and Esper.

Willow looked at Luz, confused, "Do you always have confetti on you or..." Esper nods, "Yes, yes she does. Ever since elementary school." The two then cover their ears, as Gus's watch demon screams out, biting his arm.
He pokes the watch demon, making it stop, "That's my alarm. Uh, we better get going. See you after school, Willow. See you later, Esper." Luz smiles as Gus drags her away, "Buh bye friends! Be safe, make good choices!"

Esper waves to them as Willow frowns, "I hope Gus knows what he's doing." Esper hears this and shrugs, "They'll be fine, what can go wrong at a club meeting? So what kind of plants will we be seeing today?" Not knowing that Gus is sneaking Luz into school and didn't actually get their ban lifted like he said he did.

Esper and Willow had gone into the hallway, with Willow excitedly talking about the plantlife that lives in the Boiling Isles. "So I heard from Luz that the Human Realm's grass is green but I don't know if you noticed, it is red here! There are these large carnivious plants that love the taste of flesh, oh my Titan, you are going to find them so cool. I can show you which ones not to touch and let you touch them!"
Esper smiles, "Oh yeah the grass is red here! Neat! I can't wait to see the giant man-eater plants. Reminds me of this movie I watched with my dad once when I was little-"

A voice than rang out in the hallway, "Oh look guys, it's Half-A-Witch Willow and... Whoever this is. Did you finally manage to make a friend besides the twerp, Half-A-Witch?" It was obviously aimed towards Willow and Esper as they talked. Esper turned around to see a girl with light pink skin, darker pink hair in a ponytail with three silver eyes. One eye being in the middle of her forehead. She was wearing a Hexside uniform, with yellow sleeves and pants.

Willow looked away from the pink girl but answered, "Uh... Yes, Boscha. This is my new friend, Esper." Esper took notice of Willow's change in demeanor.

Boscha then leans forward, getting a good look at Esper, "Oh really? I've never seen you around here before. Or those clothes. What kind of a witch are you? ...Or are you like Willow?"

Even though these are just questions, the way Boscha was asking them irritated Esper. Especially when she said Willow's name, as it seemed like she was using the poor girl as an insult. Esper started to pull back her fist, only to be stopped by Willow grabbing her arm and shaking her head. Esper looked shocked and then frowned, not happy about her friend not wanting her to punch her bully.

Esper then took a deep breath, "My name is Esper Fox. I'm actually a student of Eda the Owl Lady and yes, I know how to do spells. And for the record, Willow knows how to perform spells too!"

Boscha laughed, patting Esper's shoulder, before slightly pushing her to the side, "Oh! Good for you, hun. You have to resort to being friends with criminals with weird fashion senses now, Willow? How fun!" Boscha then looks at the nearby clock on the hallway wall, "Well, it's almost time for grudgby practice. You two weirdos have fun with whatever it was you were doing. Buh-bye now!"

When Boscha turned the corner, Esper looked at her friend, "Willow, why did you stop me and why do you let her talk to you like that? She's a total jerk!"

Willow looked to the ground, disappointed in herself, "I know, I know. It's just that I don't want you to get in trouble because of me. Boscha's way too popular to start picking fights with and besides, she's my problem, not your's."

To her surprise, the redhead smiled, "If I cared about popularity, then I wouldn't have thrown my lunch at Kathy Burke when she made fun of Luz's Azura fanfiction. She became my problem when she started picking on my friend and it's the same thing with Boscha here! Trust me, Willow, I don't mind defending you from people like her. You don't deserve to be bullied, you're too nice for that."

The plant loving girl looked at Esper before pulling her into a hug, "...Thanks Esper, that means a lot to me... But still, I don't want you to get in trouble because of Boscha." Esper hugged Willow back before letting go with a nod, "Okay, okay, I hear you. Let's just avoid her for the day, it can't be too hard while she's busy with the grudgby thing, right?"

Willow nodded before walking ahead of Esper, "True. Plus she doesn't normally bother me in the club room. Come on! To the Plant Track homeroom, I can't wait to show you all the cool fauna we've been growing this year." Esper nodded before running after Willow, "Haha, sounds great, Willow! Hey wait up!"

The pair get to the plant track room, a regular room in Hexside filled with flowers, vines, such beautiful plantlife in this one tiny room. Willow excitedly jumps around the room, showing off all the different plants to Esper, taking her time explaining each detail about each individual plant before finally landing on the carnivious plant.

"And this is the giant one I was telling you about!"

Esper smiles at the dangerous looking plant, "Woah, you're right! He's huge!" Before she could pet it, the plant suddenly bites down on a nearby green-haired student, who gets trapped in it's mouth. Esper retracts her hand as Willow tickles the plant's stem, causing it to spit the girl out while it laughs. The green haired student picks up her clipboard as Esper helps her up and leads her away from the plant. The student then gives the two a thumbs up as Willow explains, "And that is how you get it to stop eating someone!"

Esper smiled at the sight of Willow being happy, "Thanks, that's pretty useful advice when I'm getting eaten by a plant." She then thought of something, "Actually, Willow, can you... Show me how to do a plant spell?"

The girl in green stopped, pointing at herself, "Huh? Me? You want me to show you a spell? Isn't Eda teaching you?"

Esper shrugged, "Well yeah but she hasn't taught me anything new recently. Besides you're the best plant track member I know so... Please?"

Willow nodded, "Oh... Well then okay! I shall take on the responsibility of teaching you a plant spell!" She took Esper's hands in her own, "So, what you need to do is think about nature. Think of what you would want the plants to do, use the force of nature to do what you want." She let go of Esper's hands and formed a green circle with her finger, making a vine grow from the ground to give the redhead a high five.

Esper nodded, "Ah okay okay, use the force of nature to do what I want. Okay..." She then formed a green circle with her finger but it broke apart. Esper pouts but Willow spoke up, "It's okay, you haven't performed plant magic before. Try again and think of the beauty of the Boiling Isles, let that guide you as you think of the spell."

Esper nodded and closed her eyes, thinking about the red grass and the gentle breeze through the trees. She even thought about green grass of Earth and the different flowers that grow there as she once again made a green circle with her finger. This time, the circle stayed and a vine erupted to the ground. The vine gave Willow a high five.

The redhead smiled brightly, "I did it, Willow! I did it!"

Willow's smile matched her smile, "You did it, Esper! Good job!"

They then hear a familiar voice, "Willow! Esper! Hey!" It was Luz, who was passing by in the hallway with Gus.

The two then wave to Luz with smiles on their faces.

Gus then waves to the pair, blushing when he saw Esper. Esper waves back, not noticing his blush. She then says, "Oh yeah! Say hi to Jasper for me!" Gus's face falls when he spots Willow looking at him with disapproval. She shakes her hand and Gus and Luz quickly leave.

The pair quickly go back to their work with the plants, watering them, making sure they have proper sunlight and love. Though Esper can tell that Willow was distracted by something. Esper asked if she was okay as they watered the giant carnivious plant.

Willow gulps, "Wellllllll, Gus lied to Luz and the ban isn't actually lifted." Esper starts tugging on her own hair, "He what! Willow, what if they get caught! What if I get caught?" Willow tries to calm Esper, "I know, I know. I'm worried about the same thing, I just hope their meeting is short. I was just thinking I was being too hard on Gus since nothing seems to have happened-"

As if on que, they hear Luz scream in the hallway, "Ahh! I don't even learn here!"

The two run to the door, both yelling for Luz as they watch her get dragged off. They then look at each other, not sure what to do. Before Esper opens the door, Willow closes it. Though Esper is confused, she looks out the window and sees Boscha, who was laughing at Luz being dragged off by the guard. Esper furrows her eyebrows, "Willow, we have to help Luz."

Willow rubs the back of her neck, "I know... I know we do but what about Boscha?" Obviously worried about having to deal with the pink girl.

Esper stands up straight, "What about Boscha? You let me worry about her. Remember, I've dealt with bullies for Luz all the time back home! I'll take care of her, I promise." She then whispers a plan into Willow's ear, who nods. She lets Esper open the door, catching Boscha's attention. Boscha rolls her eyes, "Oh so Willow made you join her little plant club! Is it your new hideout now?"
The redheaded witch looks at the pink girl, "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. ...Oh hey Boscha, what's that?" She then points forward.
Boscha raised an eyebrow, "What's what-" A fireball erupted from Esper's finger, hitting one of the lockers. She then puts her hands in her pockets as the locker screamed, "Ah! My face! Boscha why! Oh Titan! Guards, help!" Boscha then turns to glare at Esper.
The redhead begins to run from Boscha, who glares at her with much anger in her eyes. "You get back here!" The pink witch throws a potion at Esper, melting a piece of the floor behind her, as Esper is too quick for her. Esper laughs as she turn corners, causing Boscha to slow down in her chase, "What's wrong Boscha? Can't catch a criminal? Haha!" Boscha throws a potion at Esper, narrowly missing her feet. Esper then sees a part of the hall that only lets them go left or right, she yhen runs into the hallway on the right, stopping Boscha to make a decision as she struggles to keep up with Esper. Only for one of the detention guards to grab her shoulder from behind, "Trouble..." It groans, pulling Boscha towards the detention room, showing the amount of destruction she left while chasing down Esper. She shouts, arguing that it is Esper's fault as our redhead turns the corner, out of sight from the detention guard.

Esper runs to the hallway Willow is in as she tries to open the door to the detention hall using a crowbar. Esper grabs onto the crowbar, pulling alongside Wilow. They stop when they hear Eda's voice ring out in the hallway, Willow drags Esper behind a nearby wall.

It turns out Eda was here the whole time trying to get Luz and Esper into the Hexside School system, "I washed off all the graffiti. Apologized to Jenkinmeyer for stealing her teeth. Caught all the wild cerebi. Ah, we should be good." Principal Bump shakes the old witch's hand, "It will be very exciting to have a real human exchange student. And a witch raised in the human realm? I'm excited to learn what she knows."

Eda then whispers something Esper can't hear, "And you won't tell the Emperor's Coven about this, will you?"

Principal Bumpstaops shaking her hand, "No. Hexside School is safe for you three. I'm the principal, not a stooge. Consider your pupils our pupils."

The banging on the detention door begins again, catching the adults' attention, Esper and Willow remain hidden until the door bursts open. Luz and Gus emerge from the door, panting. Esper runs out to help Luz up, jumping in front of the snake-like creature about to get her. Principal Bump snaps his fingers, causing the snake to stop as it realizes it had just angered Bump. It then retreats back into the room it came from. Boscha had also made her way to the detention room, pointing at Esper once she saw her, "That's the kid you want! She's the one who tried to set fire to the lockers, not me!" Luz then looks at Esper with a shocked expression, who looks away shrugging awkwardly. Willow runs to Gus to help him up from the ground.

Eda groans, "Well hey kids, guess who tried to get you into Hexside."

Bump ignored her, staring at Luz, "What did you do?" He then looks at Esper, who was still shrugging, "To think that any student of yours would be capable of doing anything but create chaos... Eda, take your students and leave! You three are banned from this campus!"

Eda grunts but gestures for the two girls to come closer, "Alright... Come on, kids, lets go."

Gus then chimes in, "Wait, Principal Bump. Don't blame Luz and Esper. I told her and Esper the ban was lifted. We were fighting over the Human Appreciation Society. I brought Luz in because I wanted to win. This is all my fault."

Principal Bump then sighes, "If that's so, Augustus, would you be willing to accept their punishment as your own?"

Gus looks at the two girls, looking away quickly from Esper, and nods, "Of course, Principal Bump, I would!"

Esper smiles at him as Eda says, "Huh. Dang, dweebus."

Principal Bump then stands up straight and looks at Luz and Esper, "Very well. In light of that, barring any more trouble, you two shall officially be enrolled in Hexside School next semester."

The two smile at each other, excited as Boscha is heard from the side of the hallway, "What!"

Everyone ignores her as Eda then talks to the two girls, holding Luz's shoulder, "I'm only doing this because I have faith in you both. And I know you're too smart to fall for that One-Witch, One-Coven nonsense. You can learn a lot from the witches here. And maybe teach them some of that Bad Girl Coven magic too."

Principal Bump clears his throat before turning to Gus, "I didn't hear that. As for you, I would be saying detention right now but that seems to be out of order. So, as of now, I'm removing you from the Human Appreciation Society." Gus frowned as he took his crown.

Surprisingly, Mattolomule speaks up, "Does that make me president?"

Principal Bump drops the crown on Matt's head, "Impressive! Still alive. Yes, I suppose you are."

Matt then weakly says, "Yaaaay..." As Esper stands next to him, gearing up to kick him before Willow grabs her arm. Willow shakes her head no as Esper nods to her, opting to blow a raspberry at Matt instead.

Principal Bump then looks to Eda, "Now, with that accomplished, Eda, we have some paperwork to fill out."

Eda graons at this, "Wait! I gotta do more stuff? Ugh! You two kids better enjoy this place!"

Luz grins at Esper and then they look at their friends. Gus then asks, "Wanna finish off that tour?"

Willow excitedly jumps, grabbing Esper by the back of her jacket, "We can show you guys what plants not to touch in the greenhouse. And then I can let you touch them. Come on!"

Luz shouts, "Yeah! Let's go."

The four join hands and laugh as they run off, leaving Matt behind. Mattholomule then tries to yell for them, Hey! Wait. Take me. I'm your president. Oh. Come on."

Later, Eda is looking through her old permanent record, remembering about the old days. Esper giggles at the one where she started an abomination food fight at lunch. Luz then chimes in quicky after Esper giggled, "Wow! Bump was not exaggerating. You were a terrible student."

Eda then looks at the two, startled, as if she didn't know the other two were there.
