Dialogue
|
[Open on Boscha with her hair down in her bedroom, which is filled with various trophies. She looks into her mirror.]
|
Boscha
|
You are talented. You are a star. You may be hated, so long as you are feared.
|
[As she speaks, she puts her hair into the usual bun then stands up, putting on a varsity jacket before heading for the door.]
|
Boscha
|
Most important of all, you are a winner.
|
[Boscha rips off a page of her calendar before walking out the door, revealing the whole month has been marked "Grudgby Season". Cut to Boscha walking through Bonesborough dribbling a grudgby ball, passing several mesmerized onlookers.]
|
Old Woman 1
|
There she goes, captain of the Banshees. Off to win another championship for Hexside.
|
Old Woman 2
|
[To her child.] Why can't you be more like her?
|
Child
|
[Breathes in deeply with an annoyed expression.]
|
[Boscha approaches Hexside, with a banner reading "Go get 'em, Banshees" magically unfurling over the school. Boscha snaps her fingers and Skara, Amelia, and Cat form up behind her.]
|
Boscha
|
Alright, girls. You know the drill. Captain goes first. [Enters the school.] Hello, Hexside! Your star has arrived. Groveling line starts here. [Looks around.] Something's not right. Nobody's here!
|
Students
|
[Laughing from a distance.]
|
[Boscha peers around a corner, spotting a crowd of students gathered around Willow, who is holding a potted plant.]
|
Hexside Student
|
No way!
|
Potions Student
|
Do me next. Do me!
|
[Willow uses her magic, the plant sprouting a fruit looking like the potions student's face. The student takes it.]
|
Potions Student
|
Welcome to the world, little buddy. You're the coolest, Willow.
|
Willow
|
[Blushing.] Aw, shucks!
|
Bird Student
|
Yeah, Willow rules!
|
Boscha
|
[Walking past with her posse.] Wow, she has to make friends out of plants. How sad.
|
Amity
|
[Entering.] Oh, please! You know, I used to be like you, Boscha, obsessed with status, challenging my competition. But I grew up. When will you?
|
[The crowd of students laugh.]
|
Boscha
|
[Angered.] Oh, this is not gonna fly.
|
-THEME SONG-
|
[Cut to outside of Hexside. Eda and Luz fly in on Eda's staff.]
|
Luz
|
My first grudgby season! I'm so excited, I have more school spirit than the school spirits!
|
[Camera pans to a ghost holding pom-poms.]
|
Ghost
|
Why do I even bother? [Groans and floats away.]
|
Eda
|
Ah, grudgby season is the best. You know, I used to play, back in my gory days.
|
Luz
|
You mean "glory days"?
|
Eda
|
Well, that too. I was unstoppable on the field. I had the best moves and the best cheats.
|
Luz
|
Cheating isn't anything to brag about. How do you know you were any good if all you did was cheat your way to victory?
|
Eda
|
Ugh. What do humans know, with your goody-goody attitude? If "cheaters never prosper", why was I the star player?
|
Luz
|
Well, can't reason with crazy. [Pulls a sleeping King out of her hood.] Bye King, you little snoozers.
|
[Luz kisses King's head and puts him on the staff as he wakes up. Luz leaves. King scurries into Eda's hair.]
|
King
|
Ugh. Eda, when was the last time you cleaned up in here? [He throws a bag of onion rings from Eda's hair, then pulls out a rat.] Get your own scalp, buddy. This one's taken. [Throws the rat.]
|
Eda
|
All this talk of grudgby has me feeling nostalgic. Whaddya say you and me take a little trip down memory lane?
|
King
|
Hard pass.
|
Eda
|
That's the spirit.
|
Ghost
|
You mean me?
|
Eda
|
Ugh. Come on! [Flies away.]
|
Ghost
|
Oh.
|
[Cut to a history classroom within Hexside.]
|
Teacher
|
Over 50 years ago, Emperor Belos appointed a head witch to each coven. [Continues talking, nearly everyone bored out of their minds.]
|
Luz
|
[To Gus and Willow.] I can't wait for grudgby season to start! I've studied up on all sorts of magical sports. Like this. [Holds up a DVD case.] Good Witch Azura 2: The Field of Deadly Fates. A classic underdog tale.
|
Willow
|
[Taking the DVD case.] Azura challenges Hecate in the smibbitch championship. But will she risk it all by taking a chance on the deadly Thorn Vault? [Opens case.]
|
Gus
|
[Grabbing the DVD.] Ooh, a shiny cookie. [Tries to eat it.]
|
Luz
|
[Grabbing the DVD from Gus.] Not food.
|
Teacher
|
The council headquarters was built and paid for by...? Anyone? Willow?
|
Willow
|
[Stands up.] Uh, the Pixie Dust Taxes?
|
Bird Student
|
[From the hall.] Whoo, yeah! Go, Willow!
|
Teacher
|
Impressive, Miss Park.
|
[The students murmur in admiration.]
|
Luz
|
What's going on? It's like all of Hexside's caught Willow fever!
|
Willow
|
Ever since I patched thing up with Amity, I've been feeling more confident. [Gesturing to the flower shaped hair clip she's wearing.] I guess it shows.
|
[The hair clip levitates off of Willow's head and into Boscha's hand.]
|
Boscha
|
Aw, Willow thinks she's popular now. How cute.
|
Luz
|
Hey, I agree, my friend is very cute. But give that back!
|
[Luz grabs for the hair clip. Boscha pulls her hand back.]
|
Boscha
|
It's weird that Amity hangs out with you now. Ever since Grom, she's gone soft. But don't worry. [Puts clip in her hair.] I'm still here to show you who's boss.
|
Gus
|
[Grabs the hair clip.] Here, Willow.
|
[Gus puts the clip back in Willow's hair.]
|
Boscha
|
Oh-ho-ho! The friends wanna get in on this too, huh?
|
[Boscha levitates Willow's bag into the air, spilling its contents onto Gus, Luz, and Willow.]
|
Boscha
|
[Laughs.]
|
Teacher
|
Is that laughter? Hey, hey! Learning's not supposed to be fun!
|
Luz
|
We are having zero fun, I swear. Boscha's picking on us.
|
Boscha
|
My apologies, sir. I was practicing my aim for grudgby. [Throws an eraser at Willow.]
|
Teacher
|
Boscha, how could you throw things at them... [Draws a circle on his chest.] when you could throw things at me? Am I over here? Or am I over here? Anything for the captain of the Banshees!
|
Boscha
|
Oh, thanks, but I already have the perfect targets. [Throws gum into Willow's hair.]
|
Willow
|
Oh! [Groans.]
|
Luz
|
Don't worry, it's not like she can follow us around all day, right?
|
[Cut to Hexside's front steps. Gus, Luz, and Willow are covered in trash, their faces graffitied with insults.]
|
Luz
|
She followed us around all day. She literally followed us around all day!
|
Willow
|
[Sighs.] I'm really sorry I pulled you guys into this. We should have just kept a low profile. Boscha could get away with murder if she wanted to.
|
Principal Bump
|
[Going down the stairs.] What's this? Boscha got away with murder? I can't say I approve, but at least she's trying new things. [Leaves.]
|
Luz
|
We will find a way out of this.
|
[Amity passes by the stairs.]
|
Luz
|
Amity!
|
[Luz cleans herself off before running up to Amity.]
|
Amity
|
[Blushes nervously.] Oh, Luz! You're here! I mean, obviously you're here, this is school, and you go here now, with, uh, me... I've been talking for too long.
|
Luz
|
Amity, we need your help.
|
Amity
|
Yes, I can help!... With what, exactly?
|
Luz
|
Boscha won't stop picking on Willow, and no one will do anything about it because she's the "Star Captain of the Grudgby Team".
|
Amity
|
Yeah, this time of year, she's extra unbearable.
|
Luz
|
You're friends with her, can you help us?
|
Amity
|
Uh, the hard part is, there's no reasoning with Boscha. She only speaks in grudgby terms.
|
Luz
|
Hmm. Okay, okay. I'm pickin' up what you're puttin' down.
|
Amity
|
[Looking at the books she's holding.] I'm... not putting anything down.
|
Willow
|
[Screams.]
|
[Trash falls on Willow from above as other students watch. Luz runs up to her.]
|
Luz
|
Willow! What happened?
|
Willow
|
Boscha happened.
|
Boscha
|
[From a second floor window, a trash can upside down in her hands.] Hey, Willow! I just thought all trash should stay in one spot.
|
Luz
|
That's it! Boscha! Willow challenges you to... a grudgby match!
|
Boscha
|
[Dropping the trash can.] She what?
|
Willow
|
I what?
|
[The trash can falls onto Gus.]
|
Gus
|
[From inside the trash can.] She what? Seriously, what's going on here?
|
[Cut to the Owl House. Eda is in her old grudgby jacket, showing a photo album to King.]
|
Eda
|
And here's when we took down Epiderm High in the semi-finals. [Points to photo of her younger self holding a trophy.] Oh, I was the youngest on the team, but I had what some call "star power". AKA, this. [Pulls a box out from her hair labeled "Eda's Rad Cheats".] This is my cheat box. I have all my best weapons in here. Smoke bombs, sock-worms... Mwah. You name it. Oh, I never lost a game with this bad boy.
|
[The door slams open. Hooty enters.]
|
Hooty
|
Hoot-hoot! Guess who found a special friend in the forest. [He brings in Lilith, wrapped up in his elongated body.] It was me. Hoot!
|
[Hooty releases Lilith, who falls to the floor.]
|
Eda
|
Lilith.
|
Lilith
|
Edalyn.
|
Hooty
|
[Pops up between them.] Hooty!
|
Eda
|
Ugh. Scram, Hooty.
|
Hooty
|
Okay!
|
[Hooty's body retracts back into the front door, which then promptly slams shut.]
|
Lilith
|
Why are you in your old uniform?
|
Eda
|
No reason. It's laundry day. What are you doing here?
|
Lilith
|
[Summons scroll, clears throat, reads.] Edalyn Clawthorne, you are hereby under arrest by the order of the Emperor of the Boiling Isles—
|
[Eda uses her magic to roll up the scroll, which smacks Lilith in the face.]
|
Lilith
|
Ah!
|
Eda
|
You were saying?
|
Lilith
|
Come on! I have to bring you in. It's time for you to join the coven. The Emperor has big plans for the Isles, and he wants you to be a part of it all.
|
Eda
|
[Picks up the photo album; sarcastically.] Ooh, Aah. What an incredible opportunity for me.
|
Lilith
|
What are you even looking at? [Grabs the photo album from Eda.] Grudgby pictures? Feeling sentimental?
|
Eda
|
Pah! Me? Never. I was just telling King here how good I was. [Summons grudgby ball.]
|
Lilith
|
Oh, Edalyn. Not only is the curse affecting your hair, but your memory as well.
|
[Lilith holds up the picture of young Eda, unfolding it to reveal a young Lilith with an even larger grudgby trophy, and several medals.]
|
Eda
|
[Groans.] Ah, tell you what. I'll go with you peacefully to the Emperor...
|
Lilith
|
Really?
|
Eda
|
Sure. If you beat me at a game of grudgby. Luz is always challenging people to things. Why not me?
|
Lilith
|
Hmm... Game on.
|
[Cut back to Hexside.]
|
Willow
|
Luz, what are you doing?
|
Luz
|
I'm just following Amity's advice. Boscha only speaks in grudgby terms. Trust me, I have a plan.
|
[Luz walks up to Boscha, who is exiting the building.]
|
Boscha
|
Okay, maybe it's the altitude of the second floor, but I thought I heard you say that Leaf Girl wanted to challenge me to a grudgby match.
|
Luz
|
That's right! We'll settle this once and for all on the field.
|
[Students flank both of them. Willow runs up between them.]
|
Willow
|
Or we could just talk about our issues.
|
Boscha
|
Let's do this.
|
Willow
|
Oh, no.
|
Luz
|
If Willow's team wins, you don't get to pick on her anymore.
|
Boscha
|
Fine! And when we win, Willow and your team will be our water gofers.
|
Luz
|
Ha! That's not even a punishment. I love water.
|
Boscha
|
And we get to use you as target practice.
|
[Boscha throws the ball and kicks it, sending it straight through a tree trunk. The hole smokes.]
|
Boscha
|
See you after school, losers.
|
[The Banshees leave. The entire tree catches fire.]
|
Bird Student
|
Whoo-hoo! Willow verses Boscha!
|
Amity
|
Luz, this isn't a good idea.
|
Willow
|
Yeah, I've never even played grudgby before! How am I supposed to beat Boscha?
|
Luz
|
But you're the better witch. I don't know much about sports, but I know about sports movies. We, too, are a ragtag team of lovable misfits joined together to defeat a powerful enemy. With a little team spirit and a training montage, we can win.
|
Willow
|
Well, if you think this'll work, then I'm in. How about you, Gus?
|
Gus
|
In seasons past, [Holds up a pair of flags.] these flags have waved in support of grudgby greats. Now they will wave for the greatest: Me! [Waves flags.]
|
Luz
|
What about you, Amity?
|
Amity
|
Me? On a team with you? Running around in cute uniforms? Sweating? [She blushes heavily, then runs off.] I gotta go!
|
Luz
|
Huh? Well, I guess she's out. In any case, let's get training!
|
[Cut to Luz, Willow, and Gus at the Hexside grudgby field.]
|
Luz
|
So, how exactly do we play grudgby?
|
Gus
|
Well, [He summons a miniature illusion of the field to demonstrate.] there's a ball, and you score by getting the ball through the other team's goal. [The illusion dissipates.]
|
Luz
|
That sounds easy.
|
Willow
|
It is, except...
|
[Willow summons a leaf and blows it onto the field. The leaf is quickly ripped to shreds by fire, vines, ice shards, and rock spikes that emerge from the field.]
|
Luz
|
Oh, right. Boiling Isles. Should have predicted this.
|
[Luz sets her phone to play motivational sports music. She puts a sweatband on.]
|
Luz
|
Alright! Every great sports story includes a training montage.
|
Gus
|
[Raises hand.] What's a "mon-tage"?
|
Luz
|
Well...
|
[Montage: Luz explains to Willow and Gus what a montage is using a chalkboard; Luz shows the two a football movie on a TV; the three of them have a tea party in animal onesies. Cut back to the grudgby field.]
|
Gus
|
Oh, I get it now. Wait, were we just having a tea party in animal jammies?
|
Luz
|
What happens in the montage stays in the montage! Now let's hit the field.
|
[Luz blows a whistle, throwing a grudgby ball at Gus and Willow. It hits the ground. Willow prepares to kick it, but a giant tentacle burst from the ground, throwing the ball. Willow catches it.]
|
Willow and Gus
|
[Yell.]
|
[They both across the field and away from the tentacle. A giant hand bursts from the ground, grabbing Gus. Flaming grudgby balls follow Willow.]
|
Bird Student
|
[From the bleachers.] Woo! Go Willow!
|
[Willow runs the opposite direction. A trampoline emerges from the ground and launches her backwards.]
|
Bird Student
|
You'll get 'em next time!
|
[Willow lands next to Luz, who hasn't moved at all.]
|
Willow
|
[Sighs.] I need a cup of water.
|
[Gus walks up to them and falls on the ground.]
|
Luz
|
Now for our big finale! Let's try... [Activates a Plant Glyph.] the Thorn Vault. [Puts Glyph on ground.]
|
Willow
|
Luz, wait—
|
[Willow and Gus are launched into the air by a column of thorns. Willow summons a large plant to break their fall. Gus rolls right off of it.]
|
Gus
|
[Groans.]
|
Willow
|
Gus! Talk to me, Gus!
|
Gus
|
I—I think something's broken. [Pulls out his flags, now snapped, and gasps.] My flags! I never should have tried to play. You were always enough for me. [Sobs.]
|
[Willow looks down to see her hair clip, now snapped in half.]
|
Willow
|
Come on, Gus. I have some floral tape in the greenhouse. We'll fix them.
|
Gus
|
[Sniffs.] Okay.
|
[Willow and Gus stand and begin walking away.]
|
Luz
|
Guys, let's try the Thorn Vault one more time.
|
Willow
|
Not now, Luz. We're tired.
|
Luz
|
But we're the underdogs, we have to stay upbeat and keep trying and—
|
Willow
|
[Walking up to Luz.] Luz! Not everything can be solved with a good attitude and a dope music soundtrack. We're going to lose. And no movie can help us against that. The game is off. [Leaves.]
|
Luz
|
Willow, wait!
|
[Luz looks down at the broken hair clip. She picks.]
|
[Cut to outside the Owl House, with a makeshift grudgby field set up in front of it. Eda and Lilith approach each other from opposite sides. Hooty stretches out to be between them, now wearing a ref's hat and whistle.]
|
Hooty
|
You gals ready to hoot? We want a clean game here, so no magic allowed.
|
King
|
[Next to a scoreboard, dressed as a cheerleader.] Yes! Now I'll strike fear into my enemies with this armor of intimidation.
|
Eda
|
[Laughs, snorts.] Yeah, intimidation armor. [To Lilith.] Pushing paper all day might make you a little rusty. I'll try to go easy on you. [Throws her the Grudgby ball.]
|
Lilith
|
[Catches the ball in between her leg and her stomach and then starts preforming sick tricks then throws Eda the ball back.] Remember, dear sister, you may have been star player, but I was team captain for a reason.
|
Eda
|
[Grunts.]
|
[Hooty blows the whistle. Cut back to the Hexside grudgby field, Luz sitting on the bleachers. She repairs Willow's hair clip with a band-aid. Amity walks up to her.]
|
Amity
|
Tough practice? [Sits down next to Luz.]
|
Luz
|
I pushed Willow and Gus too hard. It's just, I hate seeing Willow get picked on. She's one of the best friends I've ever had. Winning this game is the only way I know how to help.
|
Amity
|
Did you know, before Boscha, I was the grudgby team captain?
|
Luz
|
Really?
|
Amity
|
Well, once I left the team, I decided that was a part of my life I wanted to forget.
|
[Fade to a flashback of Amity as captain of the Banshees.]
|
Amity
|
[Voiceover.] We were playing Glandus High for the Island Championship. We had a move planned, and it was a good one. But, at the last minute, I decided I wanted to do something a bit flashier. I changed our game plan to... the Thorn Vault.
|
Luz
|
Good Witch Azura 2: Field of Deadly Fates! You watched it too?
|
Amity
|
Uh, yeah.
|
[In the flashback, Amity successfully does the Thorn Vault, launching herself to a goal post and tossing the ball in. The score changes for a Banshee win. Amity cheers, then realizes she hurt her teammates.]
|
Amity
|
It went disastrously wrong. My teammates got hurt. All because I had an idea of how things should be. I pushed them too far.
|
[Fade back to Amity in the present.]
|
Amity
|
I never played again after that day.
|
[Amity turns to Luz, their faces incredibly close. Amity stumbles back and falls, blushing heavily.]
|
Luz
|
Wah! Sorry. [Helps Amity up.] I just really love backstories.
|
[The Banshees enter, walking onto the field.]
|
Luz
|
[Putting something in Amity's hand.] I know what to do to make this up to Willow. Thanks. [Leaves.]
|
[Amity looks at her hand, revealing Willow's hair clip.]
|
Boscha
|
[To Luz.] It's after school. Where's the leader of your loser brigade?
|
Luz
|
I'm here on her behalf. We forfeit.
|
Amity
|
[Gasps.]
|
Luz
|
And I'm here to tell you that I'll take Willow's place as your water gofer, target practice, whatever you need.
|
Boscha
|
Wow, you're really a good friend. [Magically lights a grudgby ball on fire.] And a perfect target.
|
Luz
|
[Gasps.]
|
Boscha
|
[Throws ball at Luz.] Think fast!
|
[Luz ducks out of the ball's path. Boscha summons more flaming grudgby balls. Luz runs as the balls are sent at her. Amity runs off.]
|
[Cut to the school greenhouse. Willow tapes up Gus' flags.]
|
Willow
|
There, that ought to do it.
|
Gus
|
These are flags of surrender now.
|
Amity
|
[Slams open the door.] Luz needs our help! I know she pushed you guys, and she always gets in over her head. She can be so stupid, which I love— I mean hate! In any case, she needs you right now, which is sweet— I mean, I hate it, and it's dumb!
|
Gus
|
You lost me.
|
Amity
|
Just, here.
|
[Amity gives Willow her hair clip. Willow smiles.]
|
Gus
|
Can we resist the call to action? No! May the flags be raised once more.
|
[Gus runs out, Willow and Amity right behind him.]
|
[Cut back to Eda and Lilith's grudgby match. Eda tries scoring a goal, but Hooty blocks the ball.]
|
Hooty
|
Hoot!
|
Eda
|
Hooty! Whose side are you on?
|
Hooty
|
I'm an unbiased participant, hoot-hoot.
|
[Lilith grabs the ball, successfully avoids Eda and Hooty, and scores a goal. King marks the score, now tied 5-5.]
|
King
|
Point goes to Lilith. We're at a tie here, folks.
|
[Eda and Lilith both pant in exhaustion.]
|
Hooty
|
Time for one more play.
|
Eda
|
[Pulls our her cheat box.] Just one little trick and the game will be mine.
|
[Eda opens her cheat box, only to find it empty, save for a note reading, "I noticed your lunchbox was getting dirty so I cleaned it! LOVE, LUZ", with a drawing of a heart and Luz throwing a peace sign.]
|
Eda
|
Dang it, Luz! Your nonsense has gotten into my head. Well, time to do this the old-fashioned way.
|
Lilith
|
Taking your time. Nervous?
|
Eda
|
Not today, sister.
|
[Hooty blows the whistle, beginning play again. Eda and Lilith both jump for the ball. Eda grabs it and makes for the goal. Hooty emerges from the ground.]
|
Hooty
|
It's me again!
|
[Eda steps on his face, using him as a launchpad.]
|
Hooty
|
Ow!
|
[Lilith leans on his face.]
|
Hooty
|
Oh geez, hey!
|
Lilith
|
No!
|
Eda
|
Yeah!
|
[Eda scores the goal.]
|
King
|
Ha ha! Game over! Team Owl House rules supreme!
|
Eda
|
Yes! Still got it! Still got the skills to pay the bills!
|
Lilith
|
No! [On her knees, slamming her fists angrily at the ground.] No! I can't go back to the Emperor empty-handed.
|
Eda
|
[Sighs.]
|
[Eda takes her ring off and holds it out to Lilith.]
|
Eda
|
Here. Tell them I put up a heck of a struggle.
|
Lilith
|
[Takes the ring.] I will be back for you. And next time, I won't be alone.
|
Eda
|
I'll be waiting.
|
[Lilith looks over her shoulder at Eda, then walks into the distance.]
|
Hooty
|
I'll be waiting too! Hoot-hooty-hoot!
|
[Cut back to the Hexside grudgby field. Luz is running from Boscha's grudgby balls.]
|
Boscha
|
Having fun yet? 'Cause I'm just getting warmed up.
|
[Boscha throws a flaming grudgby ball at Luz, which is sent back by a tree suddenly emerging from the field in front of Luz.]
|
Boscha
|
Huh?
|
Willow
|
Boscha. Your issue is with me, not Luz. Leave her be.
|
Luz
|
Willow! [Runs up to her.] Willow, I'm sorry I got you into this mess. You're right, I got my head too stuck in the movie biz.
|
Willow
|
It's okay. I know you were just trying help in your Luz way. But now let's finish this... my way. [Turns to Boscha.] The game is back on.
|
Boscha
|
You need three players on your team. Where's your third?
|
[Willow and Luz look to Gus in the bleachers, looking sadly at his flags.]
|
Willow
|
Uh, well...
|
Amity
|
Right here.
|
Boscha
|
You just destroyed your social life.
|
Amity
|
[Looks at Willow and Luz.] Nah. I think I made it better.
|
Boscha
|
Ugh! Game on!
|
[Boscha stalks off. Amity, Luz, and Willow smile at each other. Cut to Boscha, Cat, and Amelia facing off against them, all six in grudgby gear.]
|
Gus
|
Go Willow!
|
Willow
|
[To Boscha.] There's something on your shoe.
|
Boscha
|
[Scoffs.] Like I'd fall for that.
|
[The ball is launched into the air. Boscha lunges for it but is stopped.]
|
Bosha
|
Huh?
|
[There are vines wrapped around her shoe. She falls over.]
|
Boscha
|
Oh!
|
[Willow catches the ball and makes the first goal.]
|
[The game progresses. Amity uses a giant Abomination arm to hold back an axe for Luz, who scores another goal. Gus creates Illusion duplicates of himself to cheer Luz, Amity, and Willow on. Amelia scores a goal for the Banshees.]
|
Luz
|
Nice work.
|
Amelia
|
Thanks.
|
[The two high-five.]
|
Boscha
|
[Annoyed.] Hmm.
|
[The game progresses further. Boscha throws a flaming grudgby ball at Luz, who blocks with an Ice Glyph. Luz catches the ball, seeing a Fire Glyph burned onto it.]
|
Luz
|
Whoa.
|
[Luz puts a piece of paper onto the ball, burning the Glyph onto the paper. She taps it, activating a fire spell.]
|
Luz
|
[Gasps.] Fire magic! [Throws ball.] Amity!
|
[Amity knocks it into the goal with a giant abomination fist.]
|
Amity
|
Yeah! [Laughs happily.]
|
[The score is now tied 9-9. Both teams huddle up.]
|
Amity
|
There's time for one more play.
|
Willow
|
And this play could determine whether us underdogs win or lose.
|
Luz
|
Here's what I have to offer. [Holds out Fire, Light, Plant, and Ice Glyphs.]
|
Willow
|
I think we should try... [Points to plant Glyph.] this one.
|
Luz
|
[Gasps.] The Thorn Vault? Are you sure?
|
Willow
|
I'm ready this time.
|
[Gus and his illusions cheer on as play resumes. The two teams face off at centerfield once again. The ball is launched into the air, and Luz catches it.]
|
Luz
|
Ha!
|
Amity
|
Watch out!
|
[Amity pushes Luz out of the way of Boscha, getting tackled as a result.]
|
Luz
|
Amity!
|
Amity
|
Luz!
|
[Luz activates the Thorn Vault, sending Willow across the field, and successfully scoring a goal.]
|
Luz
|
Whoo! [Hugs Willow.] You did it, Willow! We did it! We won!
|
[Luz and Willow look to the score board, reading 9-10. Then the Banshees' score changes to 999.]
|
Luz
|
Wait, what?
|
[Boscha holds up a golden insect.]
|
Willow
|
Oh, thorns.
|
Luz
|
Wh-What happened?
|
Willow
|
She caught the Rusty Smidge.
|
Luz
|
The what?
|
Boscha
|
Yeah, while you were celebrating your "victory", I caught this guy. It means we automatically win. All magic sports are like this.
|
Luz
|
That just invalidates all our efforts! If catching that thing is so important, why do anything else? There's no reason to watch any of the other players! That's such a stupid rule!
|
Boscha
|
Well, we beat them and proved our social dominance. All is right in the hierarchy.
|
[Skara, Cat, and Amelia run up to Willow and Luz.]
|
Boscha
|
Hey!
|
Skara
|
Good game, Willow!
|
Amelia
|
I had so much fun playing you guys.
|
Willow
|
Oh, really?
|
Cat
|
Willow, you're really good. Would you want to be on our team?
|
Willow
|
Mm, thanks for the offer, but I think I'm done with grudgby for a while. Hey, where's...
|
[Amity groans, trying to stand up.]
|
Luz and Willow
|
Amity! [Runs up to her.]
|
Amity
|
I think—I think I hurt my leg. But, I'll be okay.
|
Luz
|
Are you sure? I could help carry you if it really hurts.
|
Amity
|
[Blushing and chuckling nervously.] I'm fine! Who's Amity?
|
Luz
|
Aaaaand, scoop! [She picks Amity up.]
|
Amity
|
[Chuckling nervously.] Oh, wow. Sports.
|
Gus
|
Can we have another montage?
|
Luz
|
Yeah! Montage, activate!
|
[Montage: Gus, Luz, and Willow all score goals, then lounging in huge flowers with spring-like stems; Gus uses his illusion magic to change their team's score of 10 to 1000; the three run up to the Owl House. King dances in his cheerleader outfit while Luz records on her phone.]
|
King
|
[Chuckles.] You're—You're not gonna show this to anyone, right?
|
Eda
|
Of course not. Keep cheering.
|
Luz
|
[Chuckles.]
|
[The montage ends with Amity, now with a cast on her leg, walking into the Owl House, with Hooty sitting her on the couch with Luz and Willow, surrounded by Gus, King, and Eda.]
