The Glyph Monado

Ch. 21: Preparations Part 2

As the two of them continued looking for the perfect dresses to wear, Luz had told Gus and Willow all about how she ended up together with them. The plan, the sudden armor, the nap, and meeting the Triplet parents.

"So, you slept with two girls?" Willow asked.

"That's what you focused on?!" Luz asked.

"Why wouldn't we?" Gus said, not surprised by Luz's shouting.

Luz shook her head.

"Let's just go do something." Luz said.

"Can you tell us ho-" Gus asked before Luz froze his mouth shut.

"Besides telling you about my girlfriends." Luz said to him.

This is why she didn't want to tell them yet. She knew they would ask about this.

"Sorry Luz, it's just crazy. Multiple person relationships are rare, they're accepted but they are year." Willow said to her.

"Well, so is a human holding a mythical weapon meant for witches." Luz said.

The trio headed down to the market for a little shopping, mostly for Gus and Willow but Luz could get one or two things that caught her interest. Maybe even a new dress for her date with Boscha and Amity. Luz looked at the clothes, not finding anything that fit her... unique style.

'None of these seem like me. And I don't know what Boscha and Amity would like.' Luz thought.

"Hey, Luz, having trouble?" Willow asked.

"Yeah. Maybe I'm over thinking this but I can't find the right dress to wear." Luz said.

"Why does it have to be a dress?" Willow asked, "Why not a suit?"

"Maybe but I don't know. I wore a suit to Grom and I wanted to see if I could wear a dress this time." Luz said.

"From what I saw, they don't care about what you wear, they love you."

"Mmm Hmm!" Gus said with a thumbs up, his mouth still covered in ice.

"Oh, I should probably fix that." Luz said.

She snapped her fingers and the Ice melted.

"Thank you! My lips were freezing!" Gus said in relief, rubbing his cold mouth to warm it up.

"I think that's the first time I've seen you do magic without a glyph." Willow said.

"Thanks to the Monado. Though I haven't been using it as of late, I probably should practice that more." Luz said.

For now, Luz just focused on looking for a dress for her date. Gus even seemed to help search for the perfect dress.

"What about this?"

Turning around, Luz and Willow saw that Gus had pulled out the PERFECT dress from the rack!

"T-t-thats perfect!"

"That's surprisingly great, Gus." Willow said.

"Thank you. Not many people know this but I got my fashion expertise from my dad!" Gus said with pride, handing the dress to Luz.

"I'm sure the girls will love it!" Luz said.

The trio quickly went to the check out and paid 30 snails for it.

"A little pricey, but it will be worth it." Luz said.

Luz thanked Gus and Willow for helping before she ordered Amethyst to take the dress home and guard it.

"Make sure NOTHING happens to it." Luz told her palisman.

"Grr." Amethyst growled with a nod before flying back to the owl house, holding the bag that held the dress in her claws.

"You seem a little... over protective of it." Gus said.

"It's my first date!" Luz said, "And it's with two of the richest and most beautiful girls on the Isles!"

"Luz, calm down. Sure they're rich but you have to remember, they're just girls like you. Besides this can't really be your first date." Gus said to her.

"It really is."

"Really? Not one human thought you were date-able?" Willow asked.

"I was a weirdo in the Human Realm. No one would even talk to me there."

That was something Gus and Willow forgot sometimes, Luz was considered an outcast in her own world but fit in so well here.

"Well, who needs those idiots. You fit in perfectly here."

"Yeah! You can call this place your home away from home!" Gus said as they continued through the market.

"I wonder what my mom would think of me dating two girls?"

"Well that depends if she's open to three way relationships." Willow said.

"She's supportive, but I'm afraid she might have a heart attack... not like I can tell her."

"Oh right, because of the portal but I'm sure you'll find a way home, Luz." Willow said as they reached a sweets stand.

"Yeah, you're smart. You'll find a way." Gus supported.

"Thanks guys."

To end this trip, the group decided to get some pastries to celebrate Luz's first date before they left the market.
