The Owl and the Frog

Chapter 52: Olivia, Yunan, and Lilly

You know I have to say, having to rewatch "Olivia and Yunan" when writing this chapter was honestly hard. Even though I know what happens later and that things will eventually turn out okay, it really is rough having to watch Marcy get possessed again. I think what really twists the knife is that you think there's a chance she gonna escape, but then she doesn't. Poor girl went through so much and still had to move at the end of the series, I can't help but feel for her. Things are gonna be rough for her in this fic too, but maybe they'll be some small glimmer of hope for her in the future...

Aside from that not much to say, though I did want mention that I have a post on DA asking about things you might want to see from me in the future. If you'd like your voice heard please comment on that post and let me know what you'd like. It's my most recent journal post (at the time of this upload).

Oh one more think shout-out to user Thomas Holmes II (TCH2), he wrote a nice follow-up piece to this chapter. He had shown me parts of it before and I liked what he had come up with. I let him have a look at the first draft of this chapter so he could have that story finished by the time this chapter came out. After you finish reading this chapter go check it out on his DA page!

Some Time Ago

Marcy and Luz huddled close to Marcy's phone, trying to watch the movie on it. Because it was so small, the two had to sit very close to each other. Luz inched her face close to the screen and was practically on the edge of her seat. The movie had reached the point where the two armies stood across from each other right before the final battle.

"Your puny resistance stands no chance against my undead horde!" proclaimed the Lich King.

"I know what you're thinking," said Marcy suddenly. "The resistance stands no chance against the Lich King's undead horde."

"Yeah, but this battle is only a distraction, isn't it?" asked Luz.

"Wait, I thought you hadn't seen this movie before?" asked Marcy.

"I haven't, but I just have a hunch," answered Luz.

"Oh, well, you may have seen that coming, but I wonder if you'll guess the second twist," said Marcy

"Marcy, spoilers! Don't tell me anything," said Luz, continuing to watch the movie.

"Ah, right, sorry," said Marcy. She looked at the phone intently. "Oh, here comes my favorite part!"

They leaned in close so they could watch the scene.

"You'll never defeat us, Lich King!" said the hero. "Not while we have the power of friendship."

And with that, the battle had begun! The forces of good clashed with the undead army as they did their best to provide a distraction. As the battle went on, Marcy looked at Luz.

"You're actually awake," she said, somewhat sadly.

"Huh, of course I am," answered Luz. "This is a great movie, though it is rather long. I think we've stayed up pretty late to watch it, haven't we?"

"Yeah, we have," said Marcy, "but I promise it's worth it."

"I've got to say, so far, it's living up to the hype," said Luz. "I am starting to get sleepy, but we're almost at the end, right? I think I can make it 'till then."

"I'm sorry, I only have it on my phone," said Marcy.

"Nah, that's fine," said Luz. "Oh, oh, what's this? A new scene away from the battle? This must be that distraction."

Her smile widened as she gazed at the screen. Marcy's smile also widened after seeing Luz enjoy the movie with her.

"That was AWESOME!!!" said Luz, jumping up from her seat as the movie ended. "You were right; I had no idea what was going to happen at the end! That was so emotional."
