Y/n and Luz are best friends who have gone through thick and thin. But this time, they will go through thicker and thinner. They are both considered... "weird" by others but to them, they are just being themselves. What if that weirdness gets them s...
[Open on the sun, panning down to show Luz, Y/n, Eda, and King standing on a beach.]
Eda: Well you two! [Elbows them.] Have you ever in your human lives think you'd see something as breathtaking as this?
[She gestures to the corpse of a trash slug that towers over them. It's surrounded by trash and muck. Flies audibly buzz around the corpse.]
Luz: [Shaking her head.] I don't like this. [She plugs her nose.]
Y/n: ... Not even going to ask what the hell is that.
Eda: [Walks to the trash slug.] This my boy is a trash slug. It makes a home, a life from what others have thrown by the wayside. Until, blam, it gets blasted by a wave one day and croaks from all the salt. And then we get to sell the stuff it ate. [She pulls out a pickaxe.]
Luz: Please don't make us.
King: [Walking away.] Aw, come on. [Unfurls a towel.] It's not every day you get to go to the dump and pick apart a garbage carcass.
Y/n: Yeah luckily it ain't every day.
Eda: Ah, nuts to you three. [Swings the pick at the trash slug.]
Luz: So, Eda... What if we tried some new lessons for my apprenticeship? Like... Read ancient scrolls or mix potions, or—
Eda: [While tossing things from the trash slug's mouth.] Ugh. That sounds like a bunch of magic school stuff.
Luz: Wait. Is there a magic school here? Like, winding towers, cute uniforms, dark plots that threaten your life kind of magic school?
Y/n: [Faces Luz.] You really like talking about oddly specific details huh?
Eda: Mm-hmm. What's worse, they force you to learn magic the "proper" way. But magic isn't proper. It's wild and unpredictable. And that's why it's so beautiful. I didn't finish school, and look at me! Who wouldn't envy where I am right now? [Is standing right next to a trash slug.] Uh... Hey, here's a lesson. [Drops her pick.] A great witch is resourceful, [Sticks Luz's hand in a puddle of trash slug bile.] like this. [Eda drags Luz's hand back and forth before letting go. Luz continues digging until she pulls something out.]
Y/n: [Is gagging.] aeuh...
Eda: Oh, grow some guts kid or else I'm doing this to you too.
Luz: O-Oh, hey. Greasy slime ball.
Eda: [Closes Luz's hands around the slime ball.] Use your slime ball wisely, young witch. [Stands and heads back for the trash slug.] Back at it! We'll hit the stink nodes first.
Y/n: That's a big nope for me. [Walks away.]
Luz: Yeah. Actually, if it's okay, [Starts backing away.] I think we'll head home and look at pictures of animals that are still... alive. Love you, King. [Pets his belly as he giggles.] You little beach peach. [Continues walking into the woods.]
Y/n: See u later buddy. [Pets his head and follows Luz.]
[Cut to Luz and Y/n walking through the forest. They suddenly hear a girl. They investigate and peek through the bushes. It's a witch girl about the same age as them.]

[She seems to be nervously pacing around a puddle of purple goop, worrying about her grades in magic school. She becomes sad when she realizes she stepped on a flower while nervously pacing around. She kneels down and repeatedly traces a spell circle. The flower perks back up and fully blooms. Luz and Y/n gasped. The girl's ear wiggles as something rumbles off-screen. She turns as a wagon, being moved by magic, rolls to a stop in front of her, carrying a pot and a girl reading a book.]
Mint-haired girl: [Looks away from her book.] Willow! Wow. [Hops off the pot.] You're so unnoticeable I almost rolled into ya. [Chuckles.]
