AT THE OWL HOUSE, Eda has now made makeshift grudgby field set up in front of it, Eda and Lilith walk towards the middle of it on opposite sides, "You gals ready to hoot?" Hooty exclaims, smiling, "We want a clean game here, so no magic allowed."
King stands next to a scoreboard, dressed as a cheerleader, "Yes! Now I'll strike fear into my enemies with this armor of intimidation."
Eda laughs and snorts, "Yeah, intimidation armor." Eda snickers before turning to Lilith, "Pushing paper all day might make you a little rusty. I'll try to go easy on you."
"Remember, dear sister," Lilith spoke, doing tricks with the ball before spinning it on her finger, "you may have been star player, but I was team captain for a reason." Lilith smirks, passing the ball back to Eda as she grunts.
Hooty blows the whistle, beginning the game.

BACK AT THE HEXSIDE GRUDGBY field, Ember sits on the bleachers while Luz sits below them, rejecting Ember's attempts at comforting her. Ember repairs Willow's hair clip with a band-aid as Amity walks up to her.
"Tough practice?" Amity asked softly, catching both Ember and Luz's attention.
"I pushed Willow and Gus too hard." Ember sighed, rubbing her slightly puffy eyes, "It's just, I hate seeing Willow get picked on. She's one of the best friends Luz and I have ever had. Winning this game is the only way we know how to help."
Amity looks away, before smiling softly, "Did you know, before Boscha, I was the grudgby team captain?"
"Really?" Ember asked, interest peeking about Amity's past.
"Well, once I left the team," Amity began explaining, turning back to Ember, "I decided that was a part of my life I wanted to forget."
"We were playing Glandus High for the Island Championship. We had a move planned, and it was a good one." Amity smiles, remembering but then frowns, "But, at the last minute, I decided I wanted to do something a bit flashier. I changed our game plan to... the Thorn Vault."
"Good Witch Azura 2 Field of Deadly Fates!" Ember and Luz say together, but Luz in a whisper, "You watched it too?"
"Uh, yeah." Amity blushed, continuing, "It went... disastrously wrong. My teammates got hurt. All because I had an idea of how things should be. I pushed them to far." Amity sighs, looking down at her hands. "I never played again after that day." Amity turns to Ember, their faces incredibly close. Amity stumbles back and falls, blushing heavily.
