Season #1 Episode #16: Enchanting Grom Fright

---

[Principal Bump leaves the gym. Luz enters.]

Luz:
Ah. My first school dance experience on the Boiling Isles. I can't wait to get overdressed, take awkward photos, push all the buttons- wait, what?

[She sees a red button on a black-and-red pedestal with insect legs on the bottom.]

Luz:
Well, hello. Don't mind if I do.

[She cheekily pushes the button. The ground rumbles, and the floor opens to an underground arena, connected by a ramp.]

Luz:
Woah!

[Two walls of weapons come up from the floor on either side of Luz.]

Luz:
[gasps] Medieval torture seems like a strange theme for Grom, but hey--

Amity:
[offscreen] They're not for decoration.

[Amity is sitting at the top of the bleachers, alone. She stands up and starts to make her way down.]

Amity:
This arena's where I'll make my debut as Grom queen.

Luz:
Right. Why don't you seem excited?

Amity:
[grabs a sword] Because this isn't just some dance party.

[In the arena, black goop rumbles and growls.]

Amity:
That's Grom. Short for Grometheus, the Fear-Bringer. It's a monster that lives under the school.

[She casts a spell that shows a tapestry about Grom's backstory.]

Amity:
Every year it tries to break out, and a student had to defeat it before it invades the town. Ever the optimist, Bump holds a party and calls it tradition.

[The tapestry fades back to the gym.]

Amity:
The worst thing is that Grom can read minds and shape-shift into your worst fear. And mine... [looks at the blade of the sword] is very embarrassing. [returns the sword]

Luz:
If it worries you so much, then why don't you tell Principal Bump you want out of this death match biz? [gasp] Unless talking to Bump is your greatest fear.

Amity:
[chuckles] No, but that's a good idea. Thanks, Luz.

[Amity leaves.]

Luz:
Hm.

Snaggleback:
PUT DOWN A TARP, I'M GONNA PUKE!

[Luz hurries out. Cut to the Owl House, the door to Eda's room.]

Luz:
[offscreen] I'm home!

[poking noise]

Eda:
[offscreen] OW!

[Luz enters.]

Luz:
Guys?

[We see Eda in a brown tuxedo with King, standing on a stack of books, wearing a green apron.]

Eda:
Careful with those pins.

King:
Why am I doing this? I don't even wear clothes!

Luz:
Hey, sweet duds, owl lady! What's the haps? [sits on Eda's nest]

Eda:
I'm chaperoning Grom tonight. So I have to look sharp.

King:
And Gus asked me to co-emcee the fight!

[King holds up a poster of him and Gus, standing back-to-back in sunglasses, Gus holding a microphone.]

King:
We're going to turn this blood-bath into a fun-bath!

Eda:
Ooh! Have they announced the victim yet?

Luz:
Yeah. It's Amity. She's kinda freaking out though. I wish I could, like, take her place or something.

[Eda and King laugh.]
