"Hey babe?" Luz spoke from across the lunch room table. It was mid-way through the Friday of their first week back - a week that had proven to be particularly physically and emotionally grueling after the couple's altercation with Boscha at the onset.

"Yes, Luz?" Amity squeaked in surprise having been pulled from her thoughts, a light blush crawling across her cheeks.

"Are you okay, love?" Luz asked through a chuckle noting the red tint of her girlfriend's face.

"Yes! Of course!" Amity laughed nervously. "I just wasn't paying attention and then... well... yeah..."

"Ooooohkay?"

"Yeah, so anyway, whats up?" Amity breathed, inwardly shaking her head at the jumble up mess her words had become.

"Well," Luz said as she extended her hand across the table, one that Amity graciously took. "I was just thinking that if you aren't busy tomorrow - which I'm pretty sure you aren't beings as we live together haha - perhaps you'd might like to go on a date with me?"

"Oh," Amity sputtered wide-eyed at her girlfriend's proposition. Despite the fact that the couple had been dating for going on two weeks and has been friends even longer, Amity found herself increasingly more bashful around Luz, the witch blushing at any and every sign of affection received from the human. Having very minimal experience receiving any kind of love or affection from anyone in her life, save her siblings, to love and be loved in return seemed a concept so simple yet remained overwhelming. Coupled with the fact that the romantic love was a territory completely new to her, it only made sense that the green haired witch found herself bemused before pleasantly surprised at her girlfriend's gestures.

"Well?" Luz asked with a grin as she watched her girlfriend process her feelings, a habit in which the human had come to expect as routine knowing many of the emotions Amity was experiencing as of late were new.

"That would be wonderful," Amity said through an ear to ear smile that had formed on her face as she patted the human's hand in excitement. "What did you have in mind?"

"Now that my love, is a surprise!"

"A surprise? For me?"

"Yes indeed! And its one I think you will quite enjoy."

Staring at the loving look in Luz's eyes, Amity couldn't keep her heart from fluttering as her curiosity peaked, wondering what the human had in store. "Thats so sweet Luz, I can't wait," Amity hummed in contentment, "but could I maybe get a tiny hint at what were doing so I know what to wear?"

"Oh yeah, sure," Luz chuckled as she watched the excitement on her girlfriend's face grow. "Hm, we should probably wear something old along with some comfortable shoes. We'll be doing quite a bit of walking."

"Okay!" Amity smiled as her curiosity grew. "But wait, walking? Are, uh, you sure you're going to be able to do that?" the green haired witch remarked, ushering to the pair of crutches propped up against a wall near the table that had caught her eye.

"Oh yeah," Luz remarked confidently. "No need to worry about me! So long as I got these babies, I am good to go!" the human chided as she flexed her arms, eliciting a light chuckle from her girlfriend.

"Whatever you say," Amity grinned, rolling her eyes at cocky smirk on the human's face.

Finishing their lunch with smiles cemented on their faces, the pair found them selves independently counting down the minutes until the school day's end, both mentally running through a list of preparations needed for their date the following day. The bell screaming signaling the end of lunch, the pair stood to part ways for the remainder of the day, leaving one another with a warm embrace and a loving kiss. As each departed, feelings of happiness trailed behind. With quick glances over their shoulder ensuring the other was out of sight, the girls pulled out their respective scrolls, quickly shooting off a quick text of some last minute advice, both wanting to get this first date right.

——

"Oh!" Edric and Emira said in unison as the sound of their scrolls going off pulled their attention away from their busy afternoon of cutting class.

"It's from Mittens," Emira hummed as she opened the message. "Did she text you too?"

"Nope, but Luz did," Edric grinned as he studied the screen in front of him, a list of questions from the human front and center as the last few pieces of "Operation: First Date" fell into place.

"Mittens?" Jerbo asked turning to Viney, the younger of the two twins in his lap too preoccupied with texting Luz to bother hearing the question.

"Thats their younger sister, Amity," Viney chuckled as she absentmindedly stroked Emira's hair, watching the girl in her arms text away at her sister with considerable ease despite the cast that engulfed her arm.

"But why..." Jerbo asked before Viney interjected.

"Because apparently Luz and the little Blight are going out. Seems like everyone in this family has a thing for brunettes, am I right?" Viney laughed as she shot Jerbo a wink. "I find it adorable to be honest. Not sure if you've talked to Luz lately but she's head over heels for the girl. They've been together for awhile now but tomorrow's their first real date, what with everything thats been going on and all. From the sounds of it, its going to be amazing. That Luz, she sure is one to go all out."

"Yeah, I know all of that but why..."

"Oh if you already knew all of that why didn't you stop me?" Viney laughed. "So 'but why' what then?"

"What I've been trying to say is, 'but why', Mittens? Of all the things they could come up with to call her. Not that its not adorable but, Mittens?"

"Who knows," Viney shrugged as she placed a kiss a top Emira's head. "These Blights are an enigma."

"I guess so..." Jerbo remarked letting his voice trail before his attention was pulled to the person in his lap.

"I want a kiss on my head too," Ed chided as he continued to text away on his phone, his eyes having never left the screen.

"But how did you..." Jerbo began to question looking back at Viney in confusion as to how his boyfriend could possibly know of the kiss given to his sister by her girlfriend.

"An enigma, I say..." Viney shrugged.

——

"And you're sure these are the right flowers?" Luz asked as she looked at the bouquet of sunflowers in her hand.

"They sure are," Ed grinned as he studied the human's face, the two making a few last minute preparations for Luz's date with Amity later in the day. "Besides, even if they weren't, I'm sure she's love them anyway because they are from you," Ed smiled as he ruffled the human's hair.

"Yeah, I suppose you're right," Luz sighed as she pulled a several snails from her pocket and paid the merchant for the flowers before placing them in her backpack. Having recruited Edric to help her with date planning, Luz asked the older witch to accompany her to the market place on the bright and early Saturday morning to gather a few last items for her forthcoming date with Amity. Though the couple had spent a lot of time with one another, often spending evenings cuddled up watching a movie, telling stories, or drawing, the Luz and Amity had yet to formally go on a date.

Luz, having never had a significant other before Amity, found herself slightly lost in the process of planning having only the fictional stories of romance she both read and wrote to rely on for guidance. Since learning of Luz and Amity's status as a couple at the onset of the week however, Ed found himself emotionally invested in the success of their relationship, walking Luz through various things she could do to make his little sister feel special and loved, a date being one of them. Familiar with many of the young Blight's favorite things, Ed felt that it only made sense that he'd be the one to help Luz prepare for such an occasion and happily obliged when asked to do so.

"Common, Luz," Ed said as he placed a hand on Luz's shoulder, studying the nervous look on her face. "It's gonna be okay, kid. I know first dates can be kind of intimidating, especially if you're the one planning it but trust me, today is easily going to be one of the best days of Mitten's life no matter how it goes simply because you put in the time and effort to make it special."

"You really think so?" Luz asked through a pensive frown.

"I know so," Ed smirked, thinking back on his first date with Jerbo months earlier, recalling the apprehension on the boy's face as he anxiously handed Ed a pot with a tiny bat shaped floral abomination he had created.

Taking in a deep breath and momentarily holding on to the air before sighing, Luz smiled as she looked at the flowers, the deep gold of the petals reminding her of Amity's eyes, eyes she'd give anything to see filled with happiness. "Okay," Luz finally smiled, "well in that case, I guess we better finish getting the last couple things I need."

"Sounds like a plan, champ!" Ed grinned as he pulled the human in to a side hug. "So what's left?"

"Well, I wanted to pick up a couple of sandwiches from this restaurant Amity said she likes and I also wanted to pick up a couple of smocks for later this evening. I know I told Amity to wear something old but knowing her, she's probably going to dress nice regardless," Luz chuckled as she thought about her girlfriend's impeccable fashion sense, "and so I figured I should probably wear something nice too."

"Good thinking, kid!" Ed hummed as the pair began walking towards their next stop. "So what were you thinking of wearing then?"

"Hm, now thats a good question," Luz said as she crutched forward, thinking on the limited wardrobe she had back at the owl house. "I guess I'll have to see what Eda has back at home," Luz chuckled, "I didn't exactly pack anything nice before coming here. I'm technically supposed to be at summer camp after all."

"Oh thats right," Ed hummed. "Guess we better add one more stop to our list. I know this great little clothing shop not too far from here."

"Ah, thats great and all but," Luz said with a tone of slight embarrassment, "I kind of only have enough snails left to get the sandwiches and the smocks. I uh, haven't been able to help Eda at the shop since I broke my leg and so things have been a little tight around the owl house and..."

"Hey, don't worry about that," Ed spoke, turning to the human as he offered a reassuring smile. "I'll take care of that."

"But, Ed, I couldn't possibly..."

"Ah, ah, ah, no 'buts'," the older witch smirked. "I'm glad to do it and besides, I can't have my little sister's date looking like a mess."

"Ed..." Luz groaned.

"Now turn that frown upside down, human! We have a lot of work to do and not much time to do it... especially with how fast you walk," Ed laughed as the two continued on their way.

——

"Do you think she'll like it?" Amity said as she painted several final details onto the wooden canvas stationed in front of her.

Staring at the canvas, studying the work of art in front of her, Emira smiled softly as she looked at the work. It was a painting of Luz and Amity clad in Azura and Hecate regalia, the couple lovingly holding hands as each raised their staff in the air in a show of power. "Honestly, Mittens? I think she's gonna flip when she sees this. It's astounding!"

"You really think so?"

"Hell yeah I do! I mean, whats not to love? Its you and her and your guys' favorite characters - not to mention you painted it yourself which is amazing in and of itself."

"Thank you, Em," Amity smiled gently as she cleaned her brushes before returning them to their spot on the craft shelf she kept in her library hide away. "And thank you for helping me prepare this morning. If I'm being honest, I'm a little bit nervous for... you know..."

"For your big date?" Em grinned as Amity blushed, smiling ear to ear.

"Yeahhh," Amity sighed as she gently sat down on the bean bag chair occupied by her sister as she leaned into her sister's arm. "I don't know, it just means a lot to have you here with me. I'm not exactly good at this love stuff."

"I wouldn't miss being be here with you for the world, Mittens, especially since this is your first real date! If anything, I'm honored," Em hummed as she leaned her head atop her sister's. "And don't worry, Amity, you're doing just fine. Love isn't always easy. It takes work to create and manage a healthy relationship, but when you're with the right person, you'll find it comes naturally and is always worth the work."

"Yeah," Amity hummed as she closed her eyes, thinking of Luz and everything about her that the green haired girl had fallen for. "You're right. It's definitely worth it."

"Of course I am," Em laughed. "Don't think Viney would have stuck around as long as she has if I wasn't," Emira said smiling as she stared at the hearts Viney had scribbled on her cast around her name.

"Who knew you were such a softie, Em," Amity teased as she playfully jabbed her sister in the ribs.

"What can I say," Em laughed with a shrug as she joked, "love ruins you, kid."

"I'll keep that in mind," Amity chuckled as she relaxed into her sister's arm once more, gently placing a hand over her ribs to dull the ache in her healing bones born out of laughter.

"So little sister, I don't think you ever told me," Emira spoke softly as she turned to meet Amity's eye. "What about the human won you over?"

"Oh," Amity squeaked as a blush crept her face. "Eh... ah... uh... shouldn't we uh... be getting ready," the witch stuttered nervously.

"Oh come on," Em grinned, "I think we have a little bit of time to spare for some sisterly bonding. And if you tell me, I may or may not have a cute surprise for you to wear on your date this evening."

"But Luz said to wear something old..." Amity groaned despite being pleasantly surprised at her sister's gesture.

"Oh common, just be careful and you'll be fine. Now spill," Em ordered through a coy smile.

"Fineee," Amity whined as the blush on her face intensified as did her smile. "Okay, where should I start... well theres a lot of things that made me fall for Luz..."

"Oh this is going to be so good," Em whispered through a smirk as she listened intently to her sister's every word; if anyone deserved love and happiness, it was her.

——

"I see you're all ready for your big date, huh kid?" Eda grinned as she spotted Amity walk downstairs sporting a brand new yellow sundress paired with matching flats, her hair all down with her bangs swept to the side.

"Oh, hey there, Ms. Owl Lady," Amity blushed, not realizing the older witch was home having only arrived back at the owl house a half hour prior herself. "Yes, I am. Have you by chance seen Luz? Its almost three and I believe were supposed to be leaving soon."

"Nope, I haven't seen or heard from the kid all morning come to think of it," Eda replied scratching her chin.

"Mittens! You almost forgot this!" Em yelled, running down the stairs carrying a bag with Amity's painting securely inside.

"Oh, thanks, Em! I would hate to forget this," Amity smiled at her older sister.

"And what pray tell might that be? It better not be apple blood. I've told you kids once and I'll tell you again, don't be out there doing anything I would do," the older witch spoke sternly despite the huge grin on her face.

"I know, Ms. Owl Lady," Amity laughed as she took the bag from her sister. "It's just a small painting I made for Luz. I wanted to give it to her on our date today as a little surprise."

"Aw, now isn't that nauseatingly sweet. And hey! You're even doing something I totally wouldn't do so you're following the rules to boot!" Eda snorted. "And kid, you can call me Eda. No need for formalities between family," Eda smirked before turning to Em, "same goes for you too."

"Oh, okay. Thank you, Eda," Amity smiled softly before her attention was pulled to a knock at the door.

"Oh Amityyyy. You're date is hereee. Hoot," Hooty teased from the other side of the door, eliciting a laugh from voices Amity knew to belong Ed and Luz.

"You ready for this, kid?" Eda grinned as she watched Em make her way to open the door.

"Ready as I'll ever be," Amity spoke through a grin, clutching her bag as she nodded for her sister to open the door.

"Wow, you look amazing, Mittens!" Ed chimed as he saw his sister from just outside the open door.

"Yeah..." Luz said, eyes wide and full of love as she took in the sight of her girlfriend, as a light blush dusted her cheeks. "Amazing..."

"Th... thank you, Luz," Amity said, equally as stunned. There before her stood Luz, sporting what looked like a brand new light burgundy button down with the sleeves rolled up, matched with a royal purple baseball cap, a pair of black denim jeans and a boot on her uninjured foot. Mouth slightly ajar, Amity felt her cheeks begin to burn as she took in the beauty of the girl in front of her.

"Ah hem," Ed said as he nudged Luz gently in the side, breaking the silence that had fallen over the group.

"Oh, right," Luz said as she handed the boy a crutch before shifting to grab the flowers from her bag. "Th... these are for you, Amity," Luz squeaked as she handed Amity the bouquet of sunflowers she had purchased from the market earlier that morning.

"Luz, they are beautiful," Amity said as she studied the flowers before pulling them to her nose as she took in the fragrance. "I absolutely love them."

"Not nearly as beautiful as you though," Luz muttered in loving disbelief as she watched the girl take in the sight of the flowers.

"Gross," Eda groaned as the twins chuckled. "Okay kids, you guys are burning day light! Go have fun on your date. I need some time to recover from how disgustingly adorable all of this was."

"Yeah," Em nodded in agreement. "Enjoy yourselves. You deserve it."

"And if you guys need anything, were all just a scroll call away, alright?" Ed added with a smile.

"Sounds good, to me. What do you say, Ams? Are you ready?" Luz asked through a loving smile.

Momentarily staring at her girlfriend before turning to face Eda and the twins behind her, Amity felt her chest fill with warmth, grateful at the efforts put forth by her found family to help make the day special. Looking back to Luz, the witch was once again met with nothing but love as she smiled, placing a gentle hand on Luz's shoulder. "I'm ready."

As the pair made their way down the trail leading from the owl house, Eda and the twins watched in silent contentment, happy for the couple and the love they had found in one another. Though things had been exceedingly difficult for the group as of late, a sense of share relief was felt among everyone at the seamlessness in how the day had played out, all aware of the amazing afternoon Luz had planned to really drive the good feelings home. As group watched the couple finally fade out of sight, smiles were shared as the group prepared to part ways, the tranquility of the moment lost in a heavy, high pitched sigh.

"I wish someone would take me on a date, hoot," Hooty groaned.

"Can it, Hooty," Eda snapped as she closed the door, the sound of Hooty sighing carrying in the air as the twins lightly chuckled before making their way into town, dates of their own waiting for them.
