We open on the owl house living room, where Luz is reading from The Good Witch Azura 5 to Queen

Luz: Azura, Hecate began, our paths have crossed only in battle but today I stand before you seeking an ally [sigh]

Queen: Luz, you're getting all swoony again

Luz: I can't help it Azura is able to befriend everyone, even her biggest rival I wish I had that kind of power

Queen: rivals are meant to be annihilated not befriended, now keep reading I've m been sucked into your awful fandom

Luz: okay suddenly the door swung open

Hooty: [swings the door open] ding dong hoot! Hoot!

Queen: the book has come to life! Burn it! "She says as luz goes to the door and finds a basket as Xander enters"

Luz: hmm?

Xander: what is that?

Luz: no clue "she said as they enter the kitchen" Eda, you got a package, It looks like a gift basket

Eda: probably an offering, being the most powerful witch in the Boiling Isles has its perks "she said opening it as they see a baby"

Queen: [excited] yes fresh meat

Xander: no don't eat it!

Luz: no, not eating that

Eda: witches eating babies is so 1693, what is this?

Queen: there's a note [reads it] take care of my child till morning

Eda: nope babies are awful, not happening

Queen: [reads the rest of the letter] you will be handsomely rewarded, bat Queen

Eda: Bat Queen?

Luz: Who's the Bat Queen?

Eda: she's the wealthiest demon on the Boiling Isles, get in with her and you're set for life so, we keep this thing alive for a few hours and we get paid ha! Easy

Luz: our greatest adventure yet! Learning about love and life through a child's eyes

Eda: not you, you three have to return the books I checked out from the library "she said pointing to Xander and Luz while they catch a pile of books" now, let's take a look at this little darling "she said as she takes the baby out as it starts to screech"

Xander: ah my ears!

Queen: oh, boy

Eda: on second thought, maybe we could use your help!

Luz: well sorry gotta go "she said as they leave"

Xander POV

After a while of walking we made it to the library as the librarian was looking the books over

Librarian: coffee, grass and bloodstains? These are Eda's, aren't they?

Xander: yep

Luz: that was a crazy night

Librarian: [sighs] I'll put them on her tab "he said writing it down" by the way, we're closing early for the Wailing Star meteor shower

Luz: ooh what's that?

Librarian: you're in a library, read a book

Xander: [smiles] we will!

Luz: let's read "she said as they run off"

Librarian: Shh!

We started to walk around and I was astounded by the variety of books they had here
