Chapter 18: Intermission 2

"As promised my patient audience; we will now stop for a break with toilets available and I will spend this time going to see fellow Authors wanting to intervene in the Ladybug dimension why a certain cat themed hero is entitled and shouldn't be with the Ladybug, that the blonde haired spoiled selfish jerk who has had more chances than she deserves and debate myself if I want to add more to my schedule by doing what I am doing to certain Marvel heroes to show them adventures on What if something different had happened." Cornholio said as there was a larger buffet appears behind them along with a larger table with more chairs to accommodate the people added to the viewing group and doors for the toilets.

The audience members began making their way to help themselves to the refreshments as Luz found King hesitatingly walking up to her, "Sorry again about what we saw back there and how I still needed you to yell at me after the box was shrinking on us both for me to get the point... The fame really got to my head after I took credit for writing over your work..." King said apologetically as Luz sighed.

"Give me time King and I will be over it as long as you behave yourself." Luz told him with a small smile as King sighed as he walked off practicing more apologies to Eda. Luz reached the human buffet table along with her mother and giggled as she was wearing the backpack with Hooty attached to it and he helped himself to a plate of owl pellets set out for him.

"Like on the playground and there, he seems to act like a child with general ignorance to other people's feelings. Was he really a dethroned King of demons?" Camila questioned as nearby there was Hal at the same buffet table.

"He could have been a demon version of King Joffrey, perhaps acting like a spoilt child was what got him dethroned, do you think the demons in that world would put up a ruler that acted like that?" Hal asked and they got his point but something did seem off.

Amity came over with a tray of snacks from the Demon buffet table and started picking up snacks from the human table as well. She looked disgusted at Hooty before smiling at Luz, "You should have seen it, your jerk King friend was apologising to Eda and Lilith had come up to her but then little Braxas came up hugging Lilith's leg. Braxas brought up again how his dad said that she will be his Aunt Lilith one day and it freaked Eda out." Amity told Luz who jumped aghast to the confusion of the nearby humans.

"Why Amity? I thought we were becoming cool but then you went and did this to me, I had managed to get the image of Eda and that Warden Wrath guy out of my head but it's now back there..." Luz moaned to Amity's amusement.

"Can't say that I am anymore thrilled either." Camila muttered shuddering at the same time as her daughter.

"Me neither." Hal said as Lilith came over who looked like she wanted to remove herself from the commotion as soon as possible.

"Well if it isn't my sister's dear human apprentice and my top student's new friend." Lilith greeted Luz before facing Camila, "Nice to meet you Mrs Noceda and I must offer my sincere apologies that your daughter was caught in my sister's bad influence during her time here. I am impressed at what she had accomplished despite the role model that she is stuck here and if I had found her; I probably could have found out about the Glyphs earlier and found more for her to use. She could have partnered in her lessons with Ms Blight here." Lilith said with a smile offering a hand to Camila who nervously took it.

"Thanks Ms Clawthorne though I am not sure that I like what I have seen of your Coven so far but I can't voice any disagreement against your sister's methods... It's a miracle that my Mija hasn't been thrown into prison." Camila replied as they went to get a table together with Lilith deciding to sit near them.

"You thought about what Track you will want to study at Hexside, Luz?" Amity asked as she pondered it.

"I was thinking about trying more than one..." Luz was replying but then Lilith scoffed as she faced her.

"The Track System is like the Coven System in that you must join one; Edalyn tried to join more but wasn't successful." Lilith explained as they saw Willow (who had just had a word with her parents before getting her food) and Gus join them at the table.

"Big honour to be able to see you up close in person Ms Clawthorne mam!" Willow said with a smile that felt as she glanced at Amity. Luz was about to speak up when Willow put up a hand saying "don't worry about it Luz; things can't be fixed between Amity and I but I am not going to stop you from being friends with her. I wouldn't want to drag her reputation down though it seems that she isn't worried about you doing the same." Willow said with a glare to Amity who looked down.

Lilith decided to help changing the subject by asking "Mrs Noceda, any idea why you were taken from a much earlier time than the rest of us?" They blinked as they knew it was a good question.

"My best guess was that I would have gone back to find Luz missing and to hear from the Camp that she had never shown up so at the point you were all taken; I would have become scared and worried about where Luz had gone." Camila replied as Luz looked down but realised something.

"That can't be it though Mum, I have been texting you since that night and you have been texting back." Luz said as they remembered that moment from the first episode and so they were at a lost as to what are the reasons behind the decision of Cornholio.

Eda was followed by King as she joined the table with a plate filled with chocolate cake, "You should try this Lily, after my wedding I have fallen in love with the stuff." Eda said as it took five seconds for that to sink in...

"WEDDING?" The occupants of the table shouted out loud.

"I suppose that my invitation must have gotten lost in the mail Edalyn?" Lilith asked with her arms folded and a glare on her face.

"Don't sweat it, the marriage was in this human place called Vegas and the whole thing was very short. I used a fake name and went through with it to con the guy who was a con himself from Oregon... I am not completely certain but I think his name was Stanford. The poor sap I had left without his car and winnings, claimed that he ran a business out of a shack that housed mysterious creatures..." Eda explained as they took that in.

"The ways that my opinion of your just keeps getting lower...." Camila muttered.

Soon they were done and Cornholio after appearing back had the tables disappear and directed them back to their seats so that they could continue on with the next episode.
