The Owl House Season 2 Episode 10 – Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door
Hey guys! I now have over 200 watchers on deviantart! Thank you! All of you! I hope to get more subscribers too someday.
Before we start I want to say I watched Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and it was awesome! I won't give spoilers. All I can say is that a perfect blend of dark, comedy, action and emotions! And it's given me so many ideas for my story, especially for Luke and Hunter in the future.
Here's a chapter I've been dying to publish for so long! Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door (sorry, no pun I can make out of this title). I've really enjoyed writing the Luke and Amity scenes for this chapter. Enjoy!
We go to the Owl House during the morning, where Hooty is writing a letter using a typewriter.
Hooty: Dearest Lulu, I hope this letter finds you well and that you're enjoying your time with your parents. I'm writing to let you know, that I am a genius!
We now flashback to last night when Hooty moves to the mailbox with a bored look.
Hooty: Whenst I wrote you last; I was in the throes of a malaise. That's when I got your letter!
Hooty finds a letter in the mailbox addressed to him from Lilith. He takes and opens it, laying it on a rock to read it.
Lilith: Hello, Hootsifer. Your letter concerned me. You write of feeling unimportant while Luke, Eda and King are off on adventures.
Hooty sadly looks up to see his friends' silhouettes in Eda's room, Luke leaving with King in his arms before Eda turns off the light.
Lilith: But, Hooty, you are the Owl House. You take care of everyone inside you. If that isn't a worthy purpose, then what is?
Hooty coos softly as a tear wells up in his eye, touched by his best friend's words.
The Owl Demon enters the living room, where everyone is situated on the couches. Luke is on one couch, staring at Jerry's terrarium, Eda is reading scrolls on the other couch, and King is in front of a crystal ball next to her.
Hooty: How we doin', Hoot House?
King: Can you keep it down? He lowers his cracking voice. Down. Down! Why does this keep happening?
Hooty: Hooty approaches King. Sounds like our little demon is becoming a "de-man"!
King: Ugh! Why does that sound so wrong coming from you? He adjusts his voice again. You! He whines and storms off. I am done with this!
After King leaves, Hooty approaches Eda with a chuckle.
Hooty: Those teens, eh? Their moods change like the wind.
Eda lowers the paper she's holding up, revealing the shadows under her eyes, which are being kept open with clothespins.
Hooty: Whoa!
Eda: I'm freaking out, Hooty. Belos is planning something big, and I'm weaker than a newborn witchling. She grabs her books and scrolls. If I wanna protect you guys, I have to train as hard as I can to get strong! No rest!
Hooty: But every time you overwork yourself, you turn into the Owl Beast!
Eda: I said no rest!
Eda blows an air horn and leaves, irritating Luke, who covers his ears.
Luke: Will you all shut up!? You're scaring Jerry. And if he's not happy, I'll never make my way into Amity's heart. A blush spreads across his face, realizing what he just said. I mean, make a portal back home. Uh… I gotta go.
Luke picks up the terrarium and runs out of the room in panic. Hooty is left alone with an understanding of everyone's issues. Eda refuses to rest, and that's stressing her out; King doesn't know who he is, and Luke's attention is divided between making a portal home and winning Amity's heart.
Hooty (Narrating): You were right, Lulu. These three needed my help. So, I devised the plan of plans.
Owl House Season 2B Intro
The eye of the old portal door opens, engulfed in flames.
Luke (with blue hair and new outfit) drops down with Rebellion and a Glyph Gun, giving his gun a spin and swung his sword as it opens, releasing electricity while he grins. Repede pops up from his shoulder.
Eda (in her new outfit) slides in from her right, spinning her Owl Staff and swinging to release energy. King pops up from her hair.
Willow emerges and lifts her arms as her eyes glow, summoning huge vines behind. Clover flies next to her.
Gus comes in with a book, summoning two illusions of himself striking poses besides him. Emmeline jumps onto his head.
Amity (with purple hair) twirls in from her right and with a grin her hands glow with purple energy, summoning Abomination goo. Ghost jumps onto her shoulder.
Lilith (in her new outfit and glasses) slides in from the left, spinning her Raven Staff and swinging to release energy like Eda did. Hooty pops out of her clock backpack.
Hunter (minus his mask, tunic or cloak) flash steps from the left with his Cardinal Staff. It turns into Flapjack happily chirping as he draws and swings Yamato, striking a pose and releasing a blade of energy.
A Boiling Isle mural appears, three windows flipping to briefly reveal Qrow, Darius and Eberwolf. The windows flip to reveal Qrow in his Devil Form, Darius in his Abomination form and Eberwolf in his Beast form.
Belos appears striking a powerful pose, his castle behind him as lightning strikes
Luke rode on his Wolf Staff like surfboard, zooming past Bonesborough, flying past Tinella Nosa, sharing a high-five with Gus, Willow being beside him with a plant releasing vines and evading guards that chase him down. Eda and King join in on the fun, riding Owl Staff together. After getting high enough Luke and Eda jump off, transforming into Devil Luke and Harpy Eda with Repede and King riding on them respectively. They have blast taking to the skies, even when they're chased by a massive monstrous worm-like monster lunging at them.
Then the scene changes back to the Owl House, where it's night-time, and stars twinkle in the sky as the quartet are on the roof and looking up into the sky, Harpy Eda holding her staff beside her, Devil Luke holding Rebellion downward with Repede and King riding his other shoulder. Luke and Eda revert back to normal and Luke, Repede and King share a look together. Luke opens a hand, sending a ball of light floating into the sky where it bursts to release a blinding flash.
Owl House: The Son of Sparda
(Timeskip)
Inspired by Lilith's words, Hooty sets out to help his residential family overcome their respective dilemmas, starting with King, who's still trying to figure out what kind of demon he is and waiting for some kind of message from his father. Hooty, in an unholy way, forces King to undergo a messed-up self-help exercise with Tiny Nose's help. He teaches King about the three types of demons.
He has him do dances to see if King's a Bug demon, which ends up being offensive to Hooty by accident. He has him duel Tiny Nose to see if he's a biped demon, which ends in King getting humiliated. And he takes a blood sample from King to see if he's a beast demon. And to King's great disappointment, this is the answer he got from all this humiliation.
Hooty: You... are YOU!
Hooty suddenly had a banner reading "You are you" with balloons and wore two party hats. Tiny Nose holds a tray with a crumble.
Tinella Nosa: Hooway!
Hooty places a party hat on King.
King: Weh?
Hooty: The blood tests were inconclusive. We don't really know what you are. But that's okay 'cause we don't need to know that to be your friends.
King gives a frustrated laugh. He got nothing from the embarrassment he just suffered tonight.
King: I-I thought you had real answers...
Hooty: The only real answer is inside your heart!
Hooty nuzzles King, only for the little demon to push him off in annoyance and walk off.
King: I don't need you to tell me to love myself, Hooty. He stops in front of some balloons, tossing away the hat and looking at his reflection in depression. I want to know where I came from. What my dad looked like. What I'll look like when I grow up.
He picks up a balloon, only for it to pop. Hooty looks at King in sadness, seeing that his "help" has only made him more frustrated.
King: It's not fair. Luke's found a huge lead on where he came from. He knows who his dad was and what he looked like. He knows where he came from… sorta; he still doesn't know how he ended up with a foster family, but still! He's found out things about himself! Me, I don't know anything! I don't know who I am or where I came from! Or WHO I came from! He sighs, looking down. I don't have any responses to my video yet. Or my wanted posters. Maybe my dad is gone. Maybe there's no one else like me. And I'll live my whole life without any answers.
He kicks some balloons away, and Hooty shakes his head.
Hooty: No! I didn't want to make you mad.
King turns, furious and on the verge of crying, not because of this but because of the thought of his father abandoning him.
King: Well, I am mad. At HIM, for not being here! He sniffles, and a few tears fall from his face. He left me ALONE!
Upon saying that, King emits a huge sonic wave that resonates throughout the area, blowing up all the balloons and the crumble as it disperses right into Tiny Nose's face. Back in the tower, King is panting hard before he notices the damaged decorations, realizing what he has just done. He just unleashed his own kind of magic.
King: Huh?
Hooty becomes too disheartened to realize he's just helped King unlock a power and sinks in guilt.
Hooty: Oh, no. Now I'm sad, too.
Tinella Nosa: At least the cake is good.
Hooty: It was supposed to be a crumble!
Hooty backs out of the window and disappears down the tower. King is too late to call out to him.
King: Hooty? Hooty!
(Timeskip)
After failing with King, Hooty attempts to help Eda by forcing her to rest out of fear of the Owl Beast emerging. He does so by tricking her into eating cookies sprinkled with sleeping nettles, putting Eda to sleep, and, unfortunately, enhancing her nightmares of the Owl Beast. With no way out, Eda takes the opportunity to face her inner demons and the beast within.
This, unfortunately, involves her reliving her most painful memories.
The day she physically scarred her father, Dell Clawthorne, for life as the Owl Beast, ruining his life and injuring him so badly he could no longer carve palismen anymore.
The day she and Raine broke up because of her refusal to open up to them about her curse and lies she tries to hide behind.
Some sort of cosmic being with a child-like voice ensnared the beast and sealed it away, which is most likely how the curse was contained in a scroll.
Eda finds herself in a darkened version of the world by the beach and tethered to the little Owl Beast. The Owl Lady can clearly see the Owl Beast is also desperate to separate from Eda but is unable to, causing them to relate to each other. For the first time, Eda approaches the Owl Beast with compassion, and the two call a truce, accepting each other as part of one another and turning this nightmare into a pretty dream when an aurora appears in the sky. Eda looks up in amazement.
Eda: Wow… I've never had a dream this pretty.
A white light envelopes her and the Owl Beast as they embrace each other.
Back to the real world, Eda has woken up. She gasps for breath, and her voice has become a little distorted. Something is different about her… we can only see her shadow, but it doesn't look like her normal self, even outside of her dreams.
Eda: Ugh! My head. She looks at her hand. Huh? Oh, geez, did I turn again?
Eda runs to a mirror and opens her eyes, letting out a startled gasp as she pulls back to see she's become some sort of harpy lady.
In this form, she has long dark grey hair with a light grey streak on the top of her hair, yellow eyes with black sclera, and tufts of hair that come out of her elongated ears. She has grey owl-like wings that protrude from her back, and her now two-toned maroon and red dress appears to be a part of her body, partially covering her face. Her torso, shoulders, arms, and hands are covered in dull spikes protruding from where the sleeves of her dress would be. Her feet are covered in light grey fur with dark grey talons like an owl. Her hands are clawed and monstrous-looking, and she has small yellow claws.
Eda is amazed. She and the Owl Beast have undergone some kind of fusion.
Eda: Whoa…
Hooty: I made it worse. I made it WORSE!
Eda: Hooty, wait. It's okay.
Completely ignorant to see Eda's okay. Hooty cries hysterically and leaves.
Eda: Hooty!
Eda looks in the mirror again, whistling as she is captivated by her surprisingly attractive appearance. She twirls and strikes an elegant pose, spreading her wings.
Eda: Oh, girl. This is a hot look.
Scenes now shift to Luke's room, where Repede is curled up, lying on his own bed next to Luke's.
Luke: You're scaring Jerry. And if he's not happy, I'll never make my way into Amity's heart. I mean, make a portal back home. Uh… I gotta go.
Luke runs into his room with the terrarium, still blushing, and closes the door with his foot before slumping against it and letting out a sigh. He walks to the middle, looking at Jerry.
Luke: Okay, Jerry. If you don't want to tell me about Philip or how he made his portal, maybe you can tell me how to ask out a gorgeous goo goddess that I have feelings for?
Jerry gives an uninterested squeak and turns around.
Luke: I'll take that as a no.
Luke puts the terrarium by the window and looks down uncomfortably.
Hooty (Narration): Luke's accepted that he's half-demon and the Son of Sparda. And he's finally met his palisman. There was just one problem left. His heart was torn between finding a way home and the pursuit of love. How do I know all that? I suppose I'm just attuned to other people's emotions.
Actually, he was in Luke's room when he wasn't paying attention. The boy falls on his back with a groan.
Luke: What is wrong with me? I've fought Warden Wrath, Adegast, Bat Queen, a Slither Beast, a Greater Basilisk, Grom, some coven heads, the Golden Guard, my own devil uncle, that Beowulf thing, and hell, I've even fought the emperor himself. I've gone toe-to-toe with monsters, jerks, psychopaths and tyrants! I'm supposed to be a badass! So, how come I can't do something as simple as asking a girl out on a date!? How is this so much harder than fighting a genocidal tyrant!?
Repede walks over to Luke, nuzzling him a little. Luke pets his palisman.
Luke: Hey, boy. I don't suppose you know the best way for me to ask Amity out and tell her I'm totally crazy about her?
Repede stares blankly, whining and shaking his head, telling Luke he doesn't.
Luke: Yeah, I didn't think so. Luke softly facepalms. Buh… how did Dad ask Mom out on a date? Maybe I should just accept that Amity is way too cool for me and out of my league.
Having heard enough, Hooty backs away to the door.
Hooty (Narration): Luke wasn't going to make any progress if his attention was split.
Determined to help Luke, Hooty leaves the room while Luke walks around in contemplation.
Luke: Amity's beautiful, smart, cool, and classy. Asking her out should be breathtaking, epic, emotional and real! It has to be PERFECT! 100% PERFECT! Everyone back home said I was too violent. Can't let Amity think the same. If I mess this up, I'll never be able to show my face to anyone again! I'll have to change my face! Maybe even my name! I've always liked the sound of Julio.
Someone knocks on his door. When Luke opens the door, he finds nothing but a card on the floor, which he picks up and reads.
Luke: "As we stumble through life, gloom knows no bounds. You'll only find love when you're in the ground"? Ugh! He turns the card around. "P.S. I mean the basement! Love, Hooty."
Luke stands up, unamused with whatever Hooty's trying to do.
Luke: Hooty, I don't have time for this! Wait, since when was their basement?
Luke enters the basement holding a ball of light. When he reaches the bottom of the stairs, he spots a shadow resembling the back of Amity's head, much to his surprise.
Luke: Amity?
Upon closer inspection, it's just the shadow of a lampshade. In front of the lamp itself is a large owl pellet. He smiles in relief, walking up to the pellet.
Luke: Oh. Well, that was stupid. I mean, why would Amity be in our—
The owl pellet starts moving, and muffled noises are heard. It splits open to reveal Amity, who gasps for air, much to both their surprise when they see each other.
Luke: Amity!
Amity: Luke? Where are we? She holds her head. I think Hooty brought me here?
Luke: Luke becomes flustered. Uh, well, this is our basement… which I never knew about. I am so sorry about this. He helps his crush up. Hooty's been acting weird all day.
Amity: Amity becomes flustered but then smiles. Yeah, heh... house demons get like that after a couple thousand years. It's fine.
She puts some distance between them and then gasps when she finally notices Luke's blue hair.
Amity: Luke… your hair… it's different? It's… blue. Did you dye it?
Luke: Oh! Luke rubs the back of his head sheepishly, stuffing one hand in his pocket. Um… yeah, after that stuff at the knee and finding out Sparda's my dad, I thought it was time for a change. So, I dyed my hair to make it more like his. I… wanted to follow in his footsteps.
Luke and Amity blush, the former trying to hide the real reason he dyed his hair, both hands now in his pockets.
Amity: Oh. That… makes sense. Um… it looks good on you.
Luke: Uh… thanks Amity.
Amity: Amity looks down, smiling. You look cute with blue hair.
Luke: Luke gets redder. Wait, what? I'm… cute…
Amity: Embarrassed, Amity gets redder too. Uh… no, no! It was nothing! It was nothing! She walks further away. Forget I said anything! Sorry! Amity stops, struggling to make eye contact with her crush. Listen. About what happened, at my place… and then the knee… with… you know, the whole kiss things. I kinda... if we could just forget about the whole things? Maybe? I...
Luke: Hey! All I care about is getting you out of our dirty, weird basement.
When Luke gets closer, he triggers a trapdoor that sends him and Amity stumble. Amity cries otu as she began falling on her back until Luke accidentally catches her, arms wrapped around her back. Both turn red due to the positions in which they're holding each other. The floor beneath them opens, and Luke and Amity fall down, screaming and hugging each other; Hooty watches from above.
The duo falls into a pile of heart pillows. The second Luke sees where they landed, he lets out a terrified gasp as the cherub embroidered on a pillow wink at him.
Luke: Oh, crap.
Luke incinerates the pillow with a fire glyph, causing Amity to scream, barely avoiding it. Luke scrambles out of the pile and catches a falling card, reading it.
Luke: "To return to the world above, make your way through the tunnel of"—
He gasps in sheer horror when the lights turn on to reveal a tunnel of love, complete with a swan boat, much to Luke's total humiliation. This is so not his style and the last thing he'd ever do to win Amity's heart.
Luke: Okay, I don't wanna be seen as violent, but this is worse! If Amity sees this, she's gonna think I'm the biggest dork alive!
Amity: Amity steps up next to him, confused. What is this?
Luke: D'ah! Luke quickly gets in front of her. His voice is full of panic and desperation. N-Nothing! There's nothing to see here! This is just Hooty being an idiot. Now, let's just turn around and get out of here. Amity tries to look past him, but Luke blocks her view. No, no, no, we don't have time for that; BEHIND YOU is our top priority. YES, that is where we want to be headed, and where I DESPERATELY need us to go right now. He puts his hands on her shoulders, his desperation at its peak. Amity, seriously. If you ever do anything-ANYTHING that I tell you, just PLEASE turn around RIGHT NOW-
Amity: Uh…
Luke: What?
Luke turns around and screams in horror at the sight of Hooty, now painted pink and acting as the head and neck of the boat.
Luke: WHHYYYYY…
The swan boat comes to life, wrapping around the duo.
Luke & Amity: Whoa!
They're dropped into the boat, and it sails off through the waters.
I'll conjure up some flowers
Luke sits up in anger, takes a deep breath, and screams with all the rage he can channel
Luke: I'm gonna kill you, HOOTY!
We could hold wholesome hands for hours
The entrance opens, and the boat goes through. They go past an animatronic of a rabbit waving.
You'll be my sweetheart
My sweetheart
My wholesome magic sweetheart
Mortified, Luke buries his hands into his face, the most embarrassed he's ever felt in his life.
Luke: Ay, basura… my life is over… I'm gonna be humiliated for the rest of my life.
Amity looks to the side and sees a giant heart saying, "I think you're beautiful, smart, cool, and classy." Flattered, Amity gives off a small smile, and her whole face glows red as she starts playing with her hair. Luke does not notice she actually likes this.
Luke: I'm gonna kill Hooty. I'm gonna kill whoever wrote this stupid song. AND THEN I'M GONNA SHOOT MYSELF IN THE HEAD FIFTY TIMES!
Amity: Did you… um… did you just say something?
Luke: Yes. Do you think this water is deep enough for me to drown in?
Before anything else can be said, Luke's eyes widen in horror when he sees another display: two bees surrounding a heart saying, "AMITY BEE MINE."
Luke: No!
Luke lunges and tears down the display before Amity can see it. He gets up, holding a broken antenna.
Luke: It was… uh… trying to kill us.
And will you be my steady?
Giggling is heard from a cherub prop that fires an arrow into the water. Said arrow has a note that reads, "Amity-U R A QT." Luke gives a terrified yelp as more arrows are fired at them. Luke gets on the neck of the boat, bringing out and opening Rebellion, deflecting the arrows with it, completely embarrassed.
Luke: I'm so sorry, Amity! This is not supposed to happen!
Amity's face falls upon hearing that.
Be my wholesome magic sweetheart
As more displays sing, Luke, unable to take anymore, blows one of them up with a Fire Glyph. Amity gasps in shock as the singing stops. Luke lets out a battle cry as he jumps off, letting out a battle cry, slicing everything in sight with Rebellion. He kicks down an animatronic and stabs it repeatedly with a violent ferocity. He throws a bunch of glyphs like boomerangs, and they destroy more love-related objects. He then brings out his double Glyph Guns with a scream of ferocious rage, wildly firing elemental bullets.
Luke's explosive shots destroy everything, however... he doesn't realize that he is unknowingly hurting Amity, who is starting to think that Luke doesn't like her the way that she does him. She shuts her eyes in despair.
It isn't long before the ride stops. Luke emerges from the water, gasping for air and swimming to the dock, panting in exhaustion.
Luke: That… was a nightmare.
Amity: Yeah, it kinda was. Amity gets out of the boat and proceeds to leave. I'll get out of your hair.
Luke: Luke climbs up the docks. Amity, wait. This wasn't me. This was all Hooty's stupid idea.
Amity: Yeah. This was stupid. I mean, us? Dating? Heh. That's stupid, right?
Amity turns around, wiping away a tear. Luke gasps, but before he can explain, Hooty, shedding his own waterworks, pops up between them.
Hooty: NOOOOO! I DID IT AGAIN!
Hooty retreats back to the front door once more, hysterically crying and sobbing.
Hooty: I CAN'T HELP ANYONE!
Hooty: Out! Out, vile owl! Rid this house of thyself!
He attempts to break free, with the tower shaking. King looks down from above.
King: Hooty! Calm down, you ding-dong!
Hooty: Never shall I curse this home with my odious presence again!
The Tunnel of Love is suffering from the huge tremor above and shaking violently; Luke and Amity struggle to keep their balance.
Amity: Whoa!
Luke: Hooty, you moron! What the hell are you doing!? You're gonna get us killed!
Amity: Luke!
A large boulder falls in front of Amity and sends her flying and screaming far off the docks. She reaches out for Luke.
Amity: LUKE!
Luke: Amity!
The reformed Blight falls into the water. When she emerges, she screams when more boulders fall around her and engulf her in water
Amity: Luke! Help!
Amity ends up drowning, much to Luke's horror. Refusing to let her drown further, Luke crosses and spreads his arms, epically transforming into Devil Luke via an electric surge, his wings spreading as he lets out a roar.
Luke: Amity, hold on! I'm coming!
And with that, Luke dives into the water, determined to save Amity.
Meanwhile, above ground, King slips and hangs onto the tower, Hooty cracking the walls a little but still not free. He falls onto the ground.
Hooty: Looks like I have to do this... the hard way.
King looks away as Hooty successfully escapes the door and starts tearing through the ground.
Harpy Eda stumbles down the hall as the house is shaking. She looks out the window to see King in trouble. He can't hang on any longer, and he falls. Harpy Eda swoops in, catching her son and taking flight into the air. King opens his eyes to see his mother's new form.
King: Eda?!
Eda: Don't worry. I think it's a good thing! But where's Luke?
Harpy Eda and King watch as Devil Luke blasts out of the ground into the air, with Amity being held in his arms, bridal style. Amity gasps, opening her eyes to see Devil Luke's face. The atmosphere around her becomes romantic pink, and she becomes starry-eyed as she stares at Luke saving her once again. He spreads his wings high in the air before landing on one knee.
Luke: That was close. Are you okay, Ams?
Amity smiles gratefully at her savior.
Amity: Um… yeah. I think I am. Thank you, Luke.
The two are staring into each other's eyes and blush, this time smiling and accepting the position they're in. The moment is ruined when the ground rumbles, catching the two kids off guard again as Luke quickly lets Amity down.
Amity: What's going on?
Luke: I don't know, but things always go crazy when Hooty's upset.
The tremors become more violent, and the tower shakes, a part of it breaking apart. King notices and tries to struggle out of Eda's grasp.
King: Luke! Luke! Run!
The tower piece breaks off, falling towards Luke and Amity. Unable to clear away in time, they crouch down, and Luke wraps his arms and wings around Amity.
King: NOOOOO!
King lets out a massive sonic wave that destroys the piece. Luke and Amity look up and gasp, another romantic atmosphere created between them. This time, Luke stares at Amity for a moment, only to flinch when he's caught doing so.
Eda is shocked at what she just witnessed King do.
Eda: Did you do that?
King: I... I think I did? I think I got a power!
Luke stands up, helping Amity up as Eda flies down and lands in front of them.
Eda: Are you two okay?
Luke and Amity are stunned by Eda's new harpy form.
Luke: Whoa! Not as okay as you, Owl Lady. Is that really you, Eda?
Eda: Yup. It's me, alright. You're not the only one with a dark transformation anymore, kid.
Luke: I can see that. Damn, lady. And I thought you were foxy before. I've got so many questions to pester you with later.
Hooty bursts out of the ground, still crying his eyes out.
Hooty: I failed you all! I failed you all!
He rushes past them, destroying the ground in the process.
Eda: No, no, no, Hooty. You actually weirdly helped me. I'm like a harpy woman now.
King: And I can explode things with my voice powers!
Hooty: But I still failed Luke!
Luke, even in his devil form, is nervous as Eda and King look at him.
Eda: Luke, what was Hooty trying to do?
King: Quick! Pretend he helped you before he destroys everything.
With no way to avoid it, Luke takes a deep breath and walks up, gesturing for Eda and King to come closer, which they do. Eda uses her wing to give them some privacy from Amity.
Luke: He was trying to help me ask Amity out.
Eda: Eda is surprised. Oh, whoa. Do you wanna?
Luke sneaks a glance at Amity, who's focused on Hooty, then turns back, blushing, and nods.
Luke: Yes. More than anything. It consumes me.
Eda: Then do it!
Luke: Are you crazy?! I can't ask out Amity like THIS! I mean, look!
He gestures to the screaming and sobbing Hooty, who rolls on the ground, which Eda frowns at.
Eda: Yeah, I hear you. I might be able to help. It won't be perfect, but huh, does it really need to be? She stands up, and King rides her shoulder. Good luck, kid!
She takes flight and grabs Hooty, flying high in the sky with him. Luke takes a deep breath, working up his nerves and turning to Amity.
Luke: Amity? Amity looks to him. There's something I want to say and-
The ground beneath them suddenly collapses, leaving them in a crater. Luke has reverted back to his human form, regains his senses, and checks on Amity.
Luke: Amity, are you okay?
Amity: I'm all right.
Luke helps Amity up. She blushes as she and Luke struggle to make eye contact.
Luke: I was just... I've been wanting to ask you something for a while. But I wanted to do it in the best way. And in the Tunnel of Love, I was embarrassed because I thought: "Amity's too cool for something as sappy as this."
Luke and Amity both turn red, the latter smiling in embarrassment.
Amity: I'm not as cool as you think.
Luke: I have a confession to make. For a while, I've had these… special feelings for you. I mean, I've always had them when we became friends; I just couldn't figure out what they were and why I acted weird around you sometimes whenever we hugged or held hands and stuff. Amity blushes, remembering the moments she had with Luke that often made her blush. When you helped me try to steal the Healing Hat to heal Eda's curse and then save her from petrification, my feelings just got stronger. And then you saved me from your douchebag of a mom, and when I saw how cool you really were that day, I finally realized… I have a really crazy crush on you. You're so smart, cool, classy, and… downright beautiful. Amity blushes. But I didn't know how to tell you any of that because I thought… you were way too cool for me and out of my league and…
Amity: Wait, wait, Luke, stop there! Luke stops speaking and sees Amity is surprised. You think I'm too cool for you? I always thought YOU were too cool for ME.
Luke: I… I am? I-I didn't think I was that cool.
Amity: Luke, are you kidding? You're the coolest guy I've ever known. You beat me in a witch's duel; you fought a Slitherbeast; you brought down a Basilisk; you took on the emperor and his right-hand man, and you weren't scared at all. You go on amazing adventures and fight monsters every day. And you can turn into a devil. You're so brave and heroic; you've saved my life more times than I can count. You even insulted my mom, something I was never brave enough to do. But at the same time, you're so funny and sweet. I know when we first met, we didn't get off to a great start with me almost getting you dissected by Principal Bump and those things I said at the Covention, and I'm sorry about all that. But despite everything I did, you reached out to me. You became the first true friend I made in a long time. I'm friends with Willow again because of you, and I was able to stand up to my mom. I'm a better person now, and it's all because of you, Luke. Luke blushes from all this as he smiles. As I got to know you, I started having feelings for you too. Amity blushes again. And after our dance on Grom night… I also formed a really huge crush on you. I just… didn't know how to tell you how I feel because I thought you were out of my league. I thought YOU were too cool for ME.
Luke: I… I don't know what to say. You really mean that, Amity?
Amity: I do. I mean every single word of it, Luke.
Luke continues blushing and rubs the back of his hair.
Luke: There's something else I want to say. I was too embarrassed to admit this, but… I didn't dye my hair just to follow in my old man's footsteps. I… the truth is… I dyed my hair for you.
Amity: For me?
Luke: Yeah. Since I had a crush on you, I… made my hair blue because I thought it would go good with your purple. I… just wanted to impress you.
Amity is touched, feeling her heart melt from that.
Amity: Aww! Luke… you dyed your hair for me? You didn't have to go so far.
Luke: Okay. Everything is so crazy right now, and I have no idea what my future holds, but it would be so cool if you were in it. I want to live life like there's no tomorrow, and I want to do it with you, Amity. I want you to be part of my future.
Amity: Again, Amity's heart melts. Luke…
Luke: And that's why I… I…
Luke stares at the ground, then takes several deep breaths, but before he can say anything, Amity interrupts him.
Amity: Do you wanna go out with me?!
Luke: Oh, come on! I wanted to say that! I was so ready!
Amity: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You can say it.
Luke: Luke sighs. Okay. Amity Blight, will you go out with me?
Amity: Yes!
Luke: Really!?
Amity: Yes, yes! More than anything! I'd love to go out with you, Luke Noceda!
Luke: Luke victoriously raises his fists. Woo-hoo! Awesome! It's a date!
Unsure of what to do now, Luke timidly holds out his hand, and Amity takes it into her own.
Luke: Why is this still so terrifying?
Amity: I don't know.
After a couple of tense seconds, Amity takes hold of Luke's other hand. The two keep blushing as they share a loving smile face-to-face, timidly unsure what to do next.
Luke: So… what do we do now? Do we kiss? Amity becomes red from that bold question, and so does Luke. Or-or is it too soon for that? I was just ask-
Amity places a finger above his lip, shushing him with a smile.
Amity: Luke.
Luke: Amity?
Amity wraps her arms around Luke's shoulders. (maybe Luke's neck would be better since its usually wrapping around the neck instead of the shoulders)
Amity: Stop talking.
Luke smiles back, wrapping his arms around Amity's waist. The two of them share a warm smile before slowly leaning in, embracing in a hug and making lip contact, sharing their first-ever kiss at last. The kiss lasts for a minute under the moonlight, and the two separate, sharing looks of shock.
Luke: Ay, Caramba…
Amity: I can't believe I just did that!
Luke: I can't believe I just said that! "Ay, Caramba!" That was so dumb; I'm supposed to be cooler than that.
Amity just smiles and softly caresses Luke's cheek.
Amity: You know, Luke… He listens. You look even cuter with blue hair.
Luke smiles at that, flattered. Luke Noceda and Amity Blight share romantic gazes before leaning in and sharing another deep kiss; this time, their amulet and pendant make contact, too.
Up in the sky, Hooty's still crying, but now he's giving off tears of joy. King gives him an annoyed look while Eda watches the new couple sharing their kiss with a smile of pride for her student.
Eda: Dang, Hooty, you really are something.
It turns out the crater is in the shape of a heart, and Luke and Amity are standing in its centre, further signifying their love. Luke and Amity stay in their liplock for a very long time. Finally, the two are a couple.
The next day, everyone is in the living room and in a much better mood than yesterday. King tests out his Sonic Scream, shattering anything made of glass.
Hooty (Narration): King may not know where he came from, but he's learning more and more about himself every day!
King attempts to use it on the crystal ball but is stopped by Eda sporting the claws of her Harpy Form.
Hooty (Narration): Eda can become Harpy Eda now! She still drinks her elixir, but she's accepted the Owl Beast as part of her. It's progress!
Eda's arm reverts to normal, and she looks at her apprentice with pride; Luke and Amity (now a couple) are sitting together on the floor. With Amity's help, Jerry is finally projecting new slides of pictures and information on the curtain about Philip Wittabane's diary for the new couple to study from.
Hooty (Narration): And Luke's new GF showed him tips and tricks to get more information from that old human's diary.
As Luke writes down the info, Amity starts staring at him, which he notices. Both of them blush and look away, sheepishly laughing. Amity gives Luke another stare before bending down to kiss him on the cheek, causing him to freeze up a little and rub his cheek with a smile. Amity sheepishly smiles again, and they share romantic looks.
Hooty smiles at the new couple.
Hooty (Narration): They're adorable and deserve all the happiness!
Repede and Ghost are standing nearby, expressing their happiness for Luke and Amity by affectionately licking each other.
Hooty (Narration): And I think Repede and Ghost are following their example. Though, I won't get involved in that shipping… yet.
Eda: Gotta admit, it is cute to see you two had finally making it official that you're an item. Downside, we've lost all rights to tease you for it.
King: It's not that bad. Let's just enjoy our powers a bit more. I've honestly never felt more powerful.
Luke: Don't get too big a head out of this, little bro. Getting powers doesn't make you powerful unless you have control over them. Speaking of, how are you feeling, Eda?
Eda: I'm doing better than before.
Luke: Good. Hopefully from now on, you'll keep owl beast in check without having to put the "ug" in "ugly". Again.
Eda deadpans at this old joke.
Eda: There's the joke at my expense I was looking for.
King: Relax, Eda. He's just jealous he's not the only powerhouse on our team anymore.
Luke rolls his eyes, unimpressed.
Luke: Right, that's it… I'm jealous of a six-foot turkey lady who's twice the harpy she was before, and a tiny furball who finally found a use for his annoyingly high-pitched, shrieking squeal he calls a voice.
King: As if on cue, King's voice cracks. High-pitched and shrieking?! Uh… He quickly cleared his throat. No. My voice is not, and it did not just crack.
Amity giggles at the smart aleck that's her boyfriend.
Amity: You really know how to get under someone's skin, don't you?
Luke: It's a gift. And they make it so easy. They look back to Eda. Like, I know for a fact that you're basically part bird now, Eda. Does that mean you lay eggs now? Eda's face turns red. Or do we need to capture shrews and voles to tide you over?
Amity and King burst into laughter as Eda became redder, nervously chuckling and speaking under her breath,
Eda: I'mma hurt this boy.
We go back to the present; Hooty is ending his letter.
Hooty (Narration): I had to promise never to help anyone ever again, but nevertheless, I'm a genius!
He stretches over to the mailbox and places the letter in it.
Hooty: Everything solved! No more mysteries!
A shadow looms over him, and Hooty looks to see that it's the adult demon that looks similar to King.
Demon: I beg your pardon. Would you see this finds its way to King Clawthorne?
The demon leaves a letter with King's name on it and departs. Hooty looks at the letter (a bug walking over it) and gasps.
Hooty: Oh, my gosh, a bug!
He eats the bug and the letter in one bite.
Hooty: Ahhhh. Whoopsie! Hope that was junk mail!
Little does Hooty know he may have just swallowed King's first big lead on who he is and where he may have come from.
Luke and Amity are officially a couple! Hooray! And as a bonus, Luke's finally getting information from Jerry thanks to his new girlfriend! Straight Lumity!
Eda and the Owl Beast have called a truce, and now she can turn into Harpy Eda.
And King's unlocked his own kind of magic.
And it's all, strangely, thanks to Hooty. But who was that demon with a letter for King? Could he be his dad? Or does he have some kind of connection to his past?
Up next, Luke is sick and out of commission. So, Eda and King set out to Eclipse Lake to find Titan Blood, the key to getting Luke home. And Amity's taking Luke's place with the desire to prove her devotion as a girlfriend. And Hunter, with the desperate need to prove his worth to Belos after failing his last mission, embarks on an unauthorized mission to get the Titan Blood before Kikimora does. Amity, Hunter, and Kikimora are desperate to prove themselves; who will get to the Titan Blood first?
