So, they ordered some extra fries to go and enjoyed it together as they re-entered Greendale. Nick offered to walk Natalya home, to which Natalya refused since she didn't want to be pressed for questions as to why she was out so late.
They walked together to the academy's doors where Natalya dropped Nick off before teleporting herself back home.
There, she was greeted by Sabrina and her father watching tv together on the couch. Ambrose walks in with a plate of bacon and offers it to the three of them.
"Bacon, cous? Uncle?"
Natalya and Ben gladfully took a few pieces off of Ambrose's plate. Sabrina rightfully refused.
"After what I saw at the Church of Night yesterday, I am fasting," Sabrina says, "Maybe for the rest of my life, but definitely until later tonight."
"Big plans?" Ambrose asks.
"Mmm, after Harvey's shift, we're going to the movies," Sabrina answers.
"How casually you can say that. Soon, Luke and I will be able to do the same," Ambrose smiled.
Luke was a warlock Ambrose became fond of over the past few weeks. He also was the warlock Natalya caught Ambrose, the Weird Sisters, and Nick having an orgy with.
Natalya rubbed her eyes as the memory flashed in her mind. It still weirded her out.
"Fun, but how's that gonna work?" Sabrina asks. Natalya wondered the same question since Ambrose was bound to the house.
"Luke has a connection with the High Priest. He's offered to speak with Father Blackwood on my behalf to get my conviction overturned," Ambrose explains.
His grin was bigger than either the girls have ever seen. Sabrina and Natalya's smile couldn't match his in the moment.
"Look at my nephew becoming a stallion," Ben smirked. Suddenly, Zelda came barging into the room. She seemed stressed, a bit frantic as she approached the four.
"Where's your Aunt Hilda?" She asks.
"She's working at the bookstore, Aunt Zee. Remember, it's Black Friday," Sabrina replied.
"It most certainly is not!"
"—She means mortal Black Friday. Natalya and Betty used to go crazy online shopping when that time came around," Ben says.
For three years, he'd wake up to random packages on the front porch specifically for Natalya the day after Thanksgiving. It stopped the year she went to Riverdale High.
