Original Description:
“I had no idea there was Titans blood in the key,” Luz said, dismally. Amity flinched at her mentioning the key, which didn’t go unnoticed by Trix, Donnie, and Sunset. “We don’t know what Belos is planning, but whatever it is, he’s got another thing coming!”
“That he does,” Eda smiled proudly at Luz.
As everyone continued talking, Amity slipped away out of the kitchen. Donnie, Sunset, and Trix looked at one another before they followed.
They found the purple haired witchling sitting alone on the couch, with a very sad look on her face.
“Amity?” Sunset spoke up, getting her attention. “Are you okay?”
“I’m… fine,” Amity looked away.
“Girl, you say you’re fine, but we can clearly tell you ain’t,” Trix stated. She took a seat next to her and layed a hand on her shoulder. “Come on now, tell olde mamma Trixie what’s troubling you?”
“Does it have something to do with what Luz said about losing the portal key to Belos?” Donnie asked.
Amity shut her eyes and buried her face in her knees before she finally said, “It was my fault!”
“What do you mean it was your fault?” Sunset inquired.
Amity sighed and explained, “A few weeks ago, shortly after me and Luz became a couple, she came down with common mold.”
“Common mold?” Donnie raised a brow.
“One of the illnesses on the Boiling Isles,” Amity answered. “Anyway, the common mold was making Luz act slightly deluded and she tried eat the portal key, so I took it until she got better. Then we all learned from the Echo Mouse that the portal needed Titan’s blood to power it and that there was a whole lake of it called Eclipse Lake. Eda and King went to Eclipse Lake while Willow and Gus stayed behind with Luz. I volunteered to go along, cause I wanted to prove to Luz that I was an awesome girlfriend, while foolishly bringing the key along…” her voice cracked a bit as she said that.
“Why was it foolish?” Donnie asked.
“The Emperor’s Coven scouts were there, also looking for Titan’s blood,” Amity stated. “And on the way, we ran into a scout who turned out to be Belos’ right hand, the Golden Guard. We took him captive but he later tricked me into setting him free. Then he ditched me and went to Eclipse Lake. While Eda held off the scouts, King and I hurried to Eclipse Lake, only to find out it had long since dried up. The Golden Guard was digging his grave. He told me that he couldn’t return to the Emperor after he failed his last mission. I felt sorry for him so I tried to offer him friendship, but when he saw I had the key, he tried to steal it, because it had Titan’s blood inside. We fought and reached a stailment. But then he threated that the coven would go after Luz if I didn’t give him the key. And so I gave it him…”
“Dang,” Trix said.
“While I managed to crack the key and get some of the blood on my glove for Luz to use for her portal, I essentially gave Belos the literal key to Luz’s world!” Amity said, her voice cracking more. “So, yeah! I completely screwed things up for my girlfriend…” She screamed in frustration buried her face in the couch arm.
“Amity, it’s not you’re fault,” Sunset eased her. “You didn’t know.”
“But it is!” Amity insisted. “If I hadn’t taken the key to Eclipse Lake, we wouldn’t have lost it to Belos! I don’t expect you guys to understand. I mean it’s not like any of you ever messed things up for your friends?”
Trix looked away for a moment before she said, “Actually… I screwed things up for Jakey once.”
Amity looked up in surprise. “You did?”
“Yeah, I did,” Trix nodded. “You see, a long time after Jake wished Rose had never been taken by the Huntsclan and she left for Hong Kong, he finally decided to find someone new. So me and Spud tried to help by letting him be one of the bachelors in our charity auction. When it was Jake’s turn, two girls bidded on him, a pretty girl, Danika. And a weird nerdy girl, Vicky. Vicky was about to out-bid Danika, when Jake got everybody to look at our principal. Then he paper airplaned a dollar at Danika so she could win.”
“Wait, so he cheated to get the pretty girl?” Amity asked, in surprise.
“Yeah,” Trix frowned. “After the auction, I called him out for it, but he just brushed me off. Then shortly after, he suddenly started acting all freaky and ran right in front of a bus!”
“What’s a bus?” Amity asked.
“It’s a human vehicle,” Donnie explained.
“Luckliy, Jake got out of the way in time, but he said he had no idea what came over him,” Trix continued. “When we told Lao Si and Fu, they said he was under a siren song. Fu explained that siren’s were beautiful but evil water spirits that hypnotize men and lure them to their doom!”
“I’ve read about sirens,” Amity stated. “We have them on the Boiling Isles. But no one’s ever seen one.”
“We have sirens in Equestria too” Sunset noted. “In fact, we know three of them. But they’re not evil anymore.”
Trix continued, “I suspected that Danika was a siren, cause she was beautiful and the captain of the swim team.”
“Uh, Trixie,” Donnie broke in. “No offense, but that’s kind of stereotyping.”
“Yeah,” Sunset had to agree. “I mean the sirens we know aren’t affiliated with water.”
“Yeah it is,” Trix admitted dismally. “Anywho, Jake brushed me off again, thinking he was just in love. So Fu gave us this Siren detector and me and Spud followed him on his week with Danika and each time, Jake kept falling under the spell and doing all kinds of crazy stuff, until finally he believed that he was under a siren song, but didn’t think it was Danika. But Lao Si told him he shouldn’t see Danika, so he finally decided to finish Bachelor Week with Vicky. But I secretly followed him and found out he was seeing Danika in secret. Then he fell under the spell again and almost walked off the edge of a tower!”
“Whoa!” Amity gasped.
“Me, Spud and Fu managed to save him. And after Spud scanned her necklace, we all accused her being the siren,” Trix went on. “But it turned out, Danika wasn’t the siren at all. She thought we were accusing her of stealing the necklace that Vicky gave her and ran off in tears. That was when we realized that Vicky was the siren!”
“Vicky was the siren?” Donnie asked in surprise.
“Guess not all sirens are beautiful,” Sunset stated.
“Yeah…” Trix admitted, sheepishly. “Turned out Vicky framed Danika cause she was jealous that she got Jake instead of her, saying if she couldn’t have him, then Danika wouldn’t. And she bragged that it was easy since everyone, including me, thought all pretty girls were evil. She then mesmerized Jake, Spud, and Fu and had them attack each other. Luckliy, the siren song didn’t work on girls, so I tried to fight Vicky. Until she sicked them on me. I managed to hold them off and knock out Vicky, freeing them.” Trix then looked down in guilt. “But poor Jakey was left with no beau. All cause I was bad judge of character… So, yeah. I get where yah comin’ from, Amity.”
“Wow, that’s rough,” Amity said.
“And I get where you’re coming from too, Amity,” Donnie chimed in. “Me, and my brothers. We’ve all made plenty of screw ups in the past, but our biggest blunder was when we accidentally dropped a bunch of mutagen all over New York.”
“What? How’d you do that?” Amity asked.
“Well, it started when we hijacked a Kraang ship that was full of mutagen canisters,” Donnie began. “We got too cocky and paid the price. The Kraang had a battle suit on board called a biotroid, and those things are tough! We barely managed to beat that thing! Unfortunately, in all the chaos, we accidentally opened the hatch and the all mutagen canisters rained out over the whole city! One hit April’s dad and mutated him into a bat. When April found out, she was so angry that ended our friendship.” He looked saddened. “And said she never wanted to see us again. To my face.”
“Dang,” Trix said.
Amity covered her mouth in shock, before she layed a hand on Donnie. “I’m sorry.”
Sunset took a seat next to her. “I’ve made some screw ups too, Amity. I once stole a crown with a magical element in it and brought Equestrian Magic in this world. It doesn’t work the same as it does in Equestria and causes all kinds of chaotic things! And some people have become corrupted by it and turn into being of destruction!”
“Whoa!” Amity said, eyes wide. “Guess you all do know what I’m going through?”
“Yep, and we all still feel guilty about them sometimes,” Sunset explained. “But Master Splinter once said, we can’t change what we do in the past, only work to make tomorrow better.”
“And if Luz isn’t blaming you, then you shouldn’t blame yourself,” Donnie advised.
“Yeah, girl,” Trix agreed. “So don’t go carrying all that guilt weightage. It’s not good for you.”
Amity thought about what they told her and smiled. “I’ll try. And thank you. All of you.”
“Hey, us screw ups gotta stick together,” Sunset smirked.
