( ⚠️ TW ⚠️: Intense language, f-slur, and Non-consensual kissing. I don't know if that triggers people or not but I just put it to be safe)

This chapter is also a little longer than most, just a little thank you for waiting for me while I write this :)

3rd Person POV:

Luz and Amity waltzed their way over to Boscha's house, well, It was mostly Amity dragging Luz around. Luz hadn't had a particularly good day, but she didn't really want to talk about it. She knew Amity was excited about today, and she didn't want her grumpy attitude to bring her down. So, she put a smile on her face and continued on with her day. "Luz, I'm so excited to take you! You have no idea how much I love the Fair," She exclaimed, literally jumping up and down from joy. Luz chuckled, sticking her hands in her pockets. "I think I do," She said. "Also, you might want to stop the jumping, you can still hurt your ankle ya' know," Luz said, pointing down at the black brace hidden under her jeans. Amity scoffed out, "I'm fine, I always am," She said with a small laugh. "If you say so, Blight," Luz responded.

It wasn't long until Boscha's white-painted house came into view. Boscha said 'she needed more time to get ready', which probably just meant she wanted to pick out the right outfit to see Willow. Amity grabbed Luz's arm and rushed her up the 2 stairs of her porch. "Woah, Amity, I can walk myself," She said playfully. Amity's face went into a light blush, "Oh, sorry..." She apologized. Amity swiftly knocked on the door 3 times, waiting for someone to answer. After a while, a lady showed up. She had black hair that reached a little down her shoulders and icy blue eyes identical to Boscha's. Luz guessed it was probably her mother.

The lady let out a tiny gasp, "Amity! What a nice surprise," She said. Amity smiled, "Hi Delilah," Amity greeted. "It's been forever since the last time I saw you, Boscha usually just says goodbye and leaves," She laughed. Luz guessed that she might have noticed her because she gave her a small smile as well. "And you must be the new friend I hear so much about... Luz, right?" She questioned. Luz nodded her head, "Yes, It's nice to meet you Mrs...?" Luz asked, sticking her hand out of a handshake. "Oh, you can just call me Delilah," She said, returning the handshake. "Well nice to meet you, Mrs. Delilah," Luz said.

"You guys can come in, I'll go tell Boscha that you guys are here for her. She's been trying on different outfits all day, must be for the girl she's been rambling nonstop about," She said, mumbling the last sentence to the 2 like a secret. Luz and Amity both laughed, watching Boscha's mom disappear into a hallway. After a while, she came back with a slightly annoyed Boscha behind her. Her outfit looked alright, She was wearing simple washed down jeans and a yellow sweater. She had her usual bun and her white converse on. "Wow, Boscha, you look like you're going to the library," Amity chuckled out.

Boshca's eyes went a little wide. "Is it really that bad?" She asked, looking down at the outfit. Amity shook her head, "No, I'm just messing with you," She said, walking up to her and putting a hand on her shoulder. Boscha pushed it away as the 3 started walking out. "Bye Mrs. Delilah, See you soon!" Amity called out while Luz waved. "Bye, have fun and stay out of trouble," She said back. "Oh, mom! Tell mama that dinner's in the fridge for her, I made her favorite," Boscha said. "Ok, will do Kiddo," Delilah said back. "Bye mom, love you!" She screamed out before closing the door. Boscha dusted herself off a bit. "Alright, ready to go!" She said.

They all walked down her porch and started walking down the direction of the Fair. "Sorry about my mom, she can be chatty," Boscha apologized to Luz. "Oh no, she's nice, I liked her," Luz said with a smile, which Boscha returned. "But she did know about your crush on Willow, that's hilarious," Amity chimed in. Boscha grumbled a bit, sulking down.

The 3 continued walking. The Fair was in another county next to the Boiling Isles called Bonesborough. She wondered why the towns here had so many weird names. The walk was about 15 minutes from Boscha's home, so it wouldn't take too long. "Hey, did you guys hear the news?" Boscha asked, breaking the silence. Amity and Luz looked at her, confused. "No, what happened?" Amity asked. "Apparently Zayn and Kali are dating again, gross right?" Boscha said, scoffing out. Amity poked her in the stomach, "Maybe you shouldn't say those names around Luz," She whispered to her in a strict tone. "No Amity, it's alright, they're just big idiots," She said with a small smile. Amity nodded her head, apologizing to Boscha.
