The Day I'll Never Forget: A Lumity Tale

Chapter 9

(Amity's POV)

The next morning; Luz woke up an hour early and made breakfast. We had vegetarian Eggs Benedict. Mamá Noceda was well aware that Luz and I were vegetarians and when cooking traditional mexican dishes, she made sure that there was no meat in them, even if the dish called for some kind of meat, she would make it into a vegetarian friendly meal. After breakfast; Luz and I went upstairs to get dressed and then when we were dressed, we began to pack for our two-week honeymoon. We would be leaving for Echo Creek, California this afternoon right after we ate lunch.

It took Luz and I a little bit to pack clothes and other essential things for a two week trip. By the time we finished packing everything we were taking on our honeymoon with us, it was 11:30 AM, and lunch would be in another half hour. Luz decided to go and visit with Willow for a little bit. I also wanted to see Willow, but we needed to load our stuff into the car first, and then we could go and visit our friend. Luz helped me with our suitcases and then we walked across the street to the Park residence to visit Willow, but when Luz and I arrived; George Park said that Willow had moved in with Boscha.

So, we decided to head over to Boscha's new apartment, and hang out with Willow and Boscha before lunch. Upon arriving at Boscha's apartment; we found out from Boscha's landlady that the tenants were out. The landlady didn't know where her tenants went nor when they would be back, Luz and I thanked her for helping us with what she could and then we turned to leave. As we were leaving; who should come up the pathway to Boscha and Willow's apartment but Skara and Gus, who also apparently lived in the apartment building. "Amity and Luzura, it's so good to see you both again!" Skara said excitedly. "Hey Skara, so when is the big day for Skarus?!"

Luz asked politely. Gus chuckled and answered; "Skarus isn't a very good name for the two of us, so we decided to go with; "Luz and Amity's Second Best friends" instead. It was a little complicated anyway!" Skara added to Gus's answer; "To be honest; I don't really like ship names for my relationships, so Gus and I agreed not to have a ship name for ourselves as a couple! Although; regarding our big day if of course you mean Wedding, it's already happened! Gus and I got married a couple weeks ago. Boscha, who is the first three-eyed person to join the Notary Public, officiated our wedding. Boscha and Willow went back to the isles temporarily so that Boscha could confront her parents and to tell them that she loves Willow so much and wants her to be a part of her family and then they were going to do the same as Gus and I, get married. Boscha said that once everything is done on the isles, she and Willow were going to tie the knot and she would officiate her marriage to Willow as well."

Luz and I seemed a little hurt that Gus and Skara were already married and that Boscha and Willow were going to be getting married without telling us. Were Willow, Gus and Luz as well as Skara, Boscha and myself drifting further and further apart as time went on? Would the six of us remain friends or were we all destined to have our friendship fall to pieces?

Then, almost as if she could hear my thoughts; Skara answered the question I asked myself! "This of course doesn't mean that we're drifting apart as friends, it means that we are all settling down, getting married and starting families of our own. We will all of course still remain friends, but we won't be able to hang out as much as we used to." Gus finally spoke. "After all; Skara and I are preparing to welcome our first child, since Skara and I decided that if we wanted to be in each other's lives with our first child on the way, that it's for the best that we get married! So we did just that."

Luz looked at her phone and noticed it was almost 11:30 AM. "Not to be rude or anything, but Amity and I must be heading home so we can make sure we both have everything we need for our honeymoon! Sorry to leave you guys but as you know; we will be leaving for our honeymoon around noon. Congrats by the way on your marriage and the fact that you have a child on the way." And with that we hugged our friends and headed home for lunch.

Skara looked at Gus, then put her hand on her belly and said; "Do you think we should have told them that I'm carrying twins and that they are going to be the Witchmothers of our children?" Gus nodded and then said; "Yes, we should have but they haven't been on their honeymoon yet and that is a very important thing to do after getting married." Skara agreed with her husband.

(Amity's POV)

We were almost back to the house, when we noticed that Eda and Lilith were there visiting and they didn't know that Luz and I would be leaving for our honeymoon right after lunch today. "Amity dear, do you think we should at least tell them we're leaving for our honeymoon today?" Luz asked me quietly. I looked at her and nodded. "We should, but considering that one of the locations for our honeymoon is the town where Eda's ex-husband lives, we really shouldn't tell them as they will want to know where we are going."

And it was with that decision that we decided not to tell Eda and Lilith about our honeymoon. Luz and I walked inside and sat down to eat lunch with the rest of the family. "So Luz, I hear you and Amity are gonna be leaving on your honeymoon soon. May I ask where you guys are going to spend your honeymoon?" Eda asked curiously. I looked at Luz and then she spoke; "Eda, Amity and I both decided on Echo Creek, California for the first week and then we would be visiting my cousin; Pacifica Northwest-Pines and her wife; Mabel in their hometown." Eda who was drinking some sweet tea that Camila had made earlier that week upon hearing the name Pines; spewed her tea all over Camila and then she shouted; "Are they any relation to my ex-husband; Stanford Pines?!" Luz looked at me and then back at Eda. "Yes, Mabel is his Great-niece."

Eda got up from the table, looked at Lilith and then Lilith stood up as well. "Please excuse my sister and I, we need to talk privately. " Lilith said before leaving the dining room. "Edalyn, it's time to let go of the past! So what if Stanford decided to divorce you to go on a bogus treasure hunt, and so what if he chose to open the Mystery Shack without you! The time to let go of your past and the hurt that came with your divorce is now!"

Luz and I could hear them talking in the other room. Luz's mom looked at us and said; "Just go get ready to leave and when you come back Eda should hopefully be calm." Not even two minutes later; Eda and Lilith walk back in the room and they sit back down. "Where's Luz and Amity?!" Lilith asked. I was coming down the stairs with the last of mine and Luz's suitcases for the trip and Lilith said; "Oh wait, you're leaving today?!"

I nodded and then took the last few suitcases out to the car, put them in the backseat and then Luz opened the passenger door and I got in and buckled. Luz proceeded to the driver's side, got in and buckled as well, before she started the car, put it in reverse and then we left for our honeymoon.
