"YOU'RE DATING THE MARIBETH'S SON?!" Fwhip covered his ears, his wings wrapping around his body as he wasn't the best with loud noises. His normally composed and sophisticated mother was off the rails, "Yes... that's Jimmy's Mom's name..." He mumbled sarcastically.

"Don't get mouthy with me. How come you never told me he was the one— How dare you beat up Mari's son?!" The male sank further into his chair. His mother's green eyes pierced through him. Her and Gem shared those green eyes, Fwhip took after his father in terms of eye-colour instead.

His mother's dragon horns were very evident in her short, elegant hairstyle. "He's discriminatory— he used to be! He changed, though..." Fwhip was unsure of what he was saying, he didn't quite believe what he was trying to convince his own mother of. "I gotta meet her son, Timmy's his name?" Fwhip snorted quietly, "Huh?"

"Timmy! Yeah! That's his name!" Fwhip grinned happily as he had convinced his mother of a false fact. The male watched as his mother stood up, "I have to get Maribeth a gift! I haven't properly talked to her since high school." The woman sighed as she put the dishes in the sink, "Wash the dishes for Gem, she's got her wizardology exam tomorrow."

And so, the male was left with the mountain of dishes from lunch and dinner to clean.

Sausage stared at Lizzie's phone, a wave of confusion and shock as he watched the scene replay again and again. It was a video of yesterday, in the school cafeteria, Fwhip and Jimmy together once more. What was more negatively invigorating was the fact they had kissed.

From what little research Sausage had done, Fwhip hadn't even kissed anyone before! Not that it mattered that much to him anyway, totally not. It's just weird to him, when did this even happen. "You know of this, Builder boy?!" The pinkette's voice was loud, extremely loud.

"No?! I didn't know they were like that!" Sausage put his hands up as to prove his innocence, not that it did anything to calm the axolotl hybrid down. Lizzie turned her phone back to herself and let out an angry sigh, "This god damn idiot fell inlove with Fwhip of all people..."

"Huh? Fwhip's a good person!" Sausage defended his friend, Lizzie clicked her tongue. "But I don't... Jimmy will get hurt. I know he will. Fwhip's ideology is so different... plus Jimmy wouldn't work well under press unlike the Roseblings! It's gonna crush his confidence being in the public eye, people are mean!" The female was on the verge of shape-shifting back to her usual self, but that would break the ceiling, her neck, or both.

"Speaking of, where is he?"

"Jimmy? He's out doing something, I'm not sure." Sausage admitted, he felt something emerging in his stomach. It was a weird feeling, but it stayed there for as long as the silence was. "Huh... he better not be out with that dumb ginger..." Lizzie was typing on her phone, to text Gemini.

Sausage sighed as he left the female to it, he didn't really have much to do. As he walked into his bedroom, the male noticed his wizardry staff! He grabbed it and took a quick glance at the yellow orb that floats in the centre of the staff, it was gifted to him from his parents when he entered high school two years ago.

The male knew a few spells, but not anything groundbreaking. He hadn't used it since he moved here, he should try something... right? Sausage looked to the mirror and stared at himself, he pointed the staff to the mirror. "What happened while I was gone?"

It was a valid question, everyone seemed to dodge that question. He watched as colours emerged from the mirror, twisting and swirling around as he tried to make out any pictures. As the anticipation built up... nothing.

"Wow. I suck."
