Ben stood at Eda's Human (and Alien) Collectable Stand, his Proto-armour still on his body.
"Emboldened by the dishonor Hecate had shown, Azura lifted her staff to the cotton-candy skies and shouted, "I challenge you to a Witch's Duel!" And look! I drew a flip book. Pew, pew, pew!" Luz read from her Good Witch Azura book, flipping between two pages.
(Switching to transcript because am lazy, plus people didn't complain when I did it in Heroes Luck)
King: Show me the picture. [peeking over the top of the book]
Luz: What?
King: Show me the picture! [Luz does] Hah! I can draw better than that. You know, they once called me the King of Artists.
Luz: Wait. I thought you were the King of Demons. Are you just making this up now?
Ben: Sounds like he's making it up.
King: Doesn't matter. What's important is that my followers would leave me offerings in fear of me!
Luz: Well, I can offer you more of this tantalizing book.
Eda: Ugh! Please stop reading that. Its flowery language is an insult to witches and driving away all of our serious customers!
Ben: Um, Eds (pronounced Eeds)? [zoom out to the empty street] What customers? There aren't even any other stands around. What's going on?
Eda: This is a bad omen. There must be something horrible happening today.
Gus: Luz! Ben! [him and Willow run up to the stand] Something amazing is happening today!
Luz: Gus, Willow! Hey!
Ben: Sup Gus-miser, Wills.
Willow: [holds up a flier] It's the annual covention! Student witches get to see all the types of covens before they're placed in one. There's even a mystery guest this year!
Luz: A job fair for witches! Eda, can we go?
Ben: It could be fun.
Eda: Absolutely not.
Luz: [groans, drops to the ground]
Eda: I never joined a coven for a reason. Sure it's like a fun club for witches, but you're also giving up your magical independence to be part of a crooked system.
Ben: Speaking of crooked systems...
[Ben repeatedly tries to activate the omnitrix, but the interface refuses to function.]
Willow: Mmm. [drops the flier]
Eda: Eh, but, you know, no judgment. In any case, I haven't been to one since we were girls.
Luz: "We"?
Eda: I-- the-- I mean--
Luz: [pops back up] Who's "we"? You have a mysterious past! Now we gotta go!
Eda: No.
Luz: Okay. Then you leave me no choice.
King: [grabs the book] "You shall not shan't doeth no more harm," Azura callethed out... [continues reading]
Eda: So flowery, so awful.
[Eda walks away, opening the Portal Door and stepping through it, whilst Ben snickers a little.]
King: "Hecate could only screech, screech as did she, for the screeching did worseneth."
[Luz tosses King through the Portal as it closes. It opens a second later, Eda coming back through with King sitting on her head.]
