A Heart Beet For You [Lumity] (The Owl House x Slime Rancher Crossover)

The two teens had slowly began making their way to said opening in the canyon - their hands remained linked together. Luz swung their hands back and forth as she had happily launched into talking about what she had learned in the Beast-keeping track to fill the silence between them. Amity on the other hand had remained silent, watchful. She had came to the conclusion she needed to keep an eye open for any potential danger since Luz didn't seem like the type - hell, the human had stumbled headfirst onto the Boiling Isles and thought of it as a fun summer getaway to avoid this Summer Camp she kept mentioning.

Despite the fact she was holding hands with her crush Amity couldn't even muster a smile or really pay attention to what Luz was saying - only to nod when it seemed appropriate. Using all that magic really had taken a huge toll on the witchling and all these bright, eye stabbing colors around them made Amity feel even more exhausted.

Luz gasped loudly and let go of Amity's hand, clapping her own together. The sound made the witch flinch and her eyes snapped to Luz to see a huge smile plastered on her face, eyes sparkling "Amity, look! Chickens!" Before Amity could really react Luz tore off with lighting speed, bouncing down the short brick staircase and throwing herself into the patch of pink grass. It was tall enough to make Luz almost disappear completely. A second later the human bounced to her feet, holding up a Hen Hen over her head.

A small smile crept onto Amity's face as Luz took a dive back into the tall grass again. The witchling slowly made her way down the stairs, careful to not trip over herself as her legs felt like cement and properly coordinating her body felt hard without someone to lean on. Luz bounced up from the grass again, her arms filled with pure white terrified Hen Hens, they were clucking and flapping their small wings frantically. Feathers were flying everywhere and the two teens couldn't help but to share a laugh "I'm sorry pequeñas amigas, be free!" Luz dramatically dropped to her knees, releasing the Hen Hens that were all quick to scurry off.

"Well now we know where we can find hens at least in case we'd ever grow tired of those fruits" Amity mused "Amity!" Luz exclaimed, hopping out of the grass "You can't possibly think of eating these adorable things!" Luz gestured towards the Hen Hens that were now peacefully pecking away at the ground. They didn't seem to mind the noise the two teens were making. Amity eyed the flock of Hen Hens, then her eyes looked Luz up and down. She did think about possibly eating them - home made chicken was good but... "No, you're right. Though I wonder why they're just wandering the place"

Luz tilted her head in a questioning way, Amity carried on "Surely the ranch owner wouldn't let their chickens wander like this" She looked around the clearing they had walked into. Trees with pink leaves were growing along the walls, a rock was perched in the middle of the space and to the right of it there was... Something that seemed like an enclosure. Though it was obvious it hadn't been used in a long time - maybe even a decade or two as the wiring was torn and two of the corner posts torn down.

Amity tapped her foot against the ground rhythmic way as she thought, it really seemed like no one had been here in a long time. The Ranch had seemed worn down, vines clinging to the wooden fences and the paint on the house had started to chip - now this... "Ooh Amity look!" Luz grabbed a hold of the witchlings free hand and started pulling her along towards an opening in the wall to their left. "You can see the ocean from here!"

The two of them came to a halt atop a ledge, peering out over the vast empty ocean that seemed to stretch on forever. Though it seemed a bit too thick, shiny and blue to be like the one surrounding the Boiling Isles... "There's a staircase here! And a sign..." Luz quieted down for a moment as the read the sign. The paint had been worn out and it was tilted the side "It says these are The Docks! Though I don't see any ships" Luz bounced over to the seemingly unsafe wooden stairs leading down to the docks. Before the human could bolt down the stairs Amity grabbed a hold of Luz hand. Amity's eyes were locked on the rotting staircase, her nose wrinkled up. It didn't seem safe as a few steps here and there had been knocked out, leaving gaps behind "Those do not seem safe to use, Luz" Amity declared.

Luz tugged Amity over, the two now standing at the top of the stairs "You're being overly cautious, besides you said i'm crafty and this is a good chance to learn, remember?" Before Amity could protest Luz scooped the witchling into her arms with ease "And scoop!" Amity tired to bite back a loud wince, her body aching and protesting. Luz of course noticed and looked down at the witchling in her arms "You okay, Mittens?"

Amity's heart fluttered, her ears quickly drooping low and a blush creeping onto her face. The witch nodded slowly and Luz flashed her a warm heart melting smile. Amity just looked at her stunned awe. If Amity would've came here herself she'd had at least two meltdowns by now and probably not even left the ranch "ALRIGHT, Prepare to be dominated by the exploration team Lumity, stairs!"

"Wait what, Lumi-AAH" Amity squealed loudly when Luz began sprinting down the stairs without any warning, the wood creaked and groaned loudly beneath Luz feet - it honestly sounded like it was about to snap any second and all Amity could do was pray to the Titan they wouldn't fall through, she knew she didn't have enough energy to ensure both of them came out alright this time.

Amity clung onto Luz uniform, her hands clenching Luz collar tightly and her face was pressed against Luz neck.

Before Amity knew it Luz had come to a halt at the bottom of the staircase, the sound of rushing water filled the surrounding area. Amity's ears twitched slightly at the sound and she slowly withdrew her hands and face from Luz, glancing towards the source of the sound. Water was rushing down the high cliff on their right and into a pond. This was real water - not like whatever the ocean was filled with.

"A Waterfall!" Luz bounced lightly on the spot, giving Amity a warm smile "See? I told you we'd be fine!" The witchling nodded slowly again and Luz set her down on her feet.
