The Golden Guard panted, trying to catch up to the girl ahead of him, Georgia tapping the statue of Belos as she cried out a 'yes!', smiling widely.

He placed a hand on the statue, panting as he was bent over in exhaustion, Georgia slapping his back lightly as she jumped in victory.

"Haha! I won!"

"Only... because... I let you." He panted out, facing downwards, Georgia smirking.

"Sure." The girl then stretched her arms, looking around for the other two members of their group.

"Hey, where are Luz and Amity–"

She was interrupted by a screeching, Luz and Amity crashing into Belos' statue with Eda's Owl staff in hand.

Georgia walked over towards the two on the floor, crossing her arms as she smiled smugly, the Latina and Blight smiling guiltily while the Guard walked towards the girl, looking down at the other two.

"Looks like someone's plan backfired." Georgia grinned before holding her hand out, Luz grabbing it as the girl pulled her friend up, the Guard doing the same with Amity as Georgia grinned victoriously, Amity sweeping dust off her dress.

"You guys owe me treats now." She smirked, her arms crossing while smiling widely, Luz groaning as Amity sighed slightly, smiling as the Guard walked off, finding a shop, Georgia looking at him in curiously as he soon had returned with snacks in hand.

"You do realise that you didn't have to buy it immediately, right?" Georgia joked, Luz nudging Amity's side as the Guard shrugged, his bracelet glowing as she smiled softly at him.

"Eh, trying to be nice to win over your good side."

"So you don't want to be frenemies?" The girl opened the packet tacking small bites out of the snack.

"Maybe, maybe not."

"Friends then?"

"Sounds interesting."

The girl grinned, nudging the boy's arm with her elbow as she grinned, offering him some snacks as he took it, looking at it nervously as he realised he was wearing a mask.

"Ah crap, forgot you wear a mask..." The girl grinned nervously as Luz and Amity chuckled at her nervously, the boy shrugging before lifting his mask slightly, sticking his hand with the snack in his hands under the mask while he ate, humming slightly at the flavour.

"Is that how you always eat with the mask on?" She joked, the boy shrugging slightly.

"More or less."

"Ah well, what now?" Georgia shrugged, placing her hands at the back of her head, the others shrugging at what to do before an idea sparked in her mind, placing a hand on her bracelet.

"I think I know a way to get Luz and Amity closer." 

•

"Georgia, what are we doing at your house?"

Amity placed a hand on the girl's shoulder as Georgia smirked slightly, opening the double doors, looking at the others.

"You'll see." She whispered to the green-haired witch while placing her hands on her hips. "Welcome to the Hathaway mansion! My parents have gone to do some work so the house is ours temporarily, just please don't leave a mess."

The group walked in, Luz letting out a small 'woah' as they walked towards the living room, the girl sprawling herself on the couch as she sighed.

"Titan, my legs hurt."

"From walking?" Luz smirked, flicking Georgia's forehead as the girl winced slightly, Amity giggling at the Latina's actions, Luz blushing slightly while the Guard walked around the room, picking up a few pictures of the small family.

"Hey, I had to do things before I met up with you guys." The girl groaned as she rolled off the couch, walking towards her servant, which conveniently was an abomination, placing her sling bag in its hands as it walked off, walking towards the group.

"So, anyone up for truth or dare?"

•

Amity blushed heavily, the girl regretting the choice she had made as soon as the word had slipped out of her childhood friend's lips.

"I dare you to dance with Luz." Georgia whispered into her friend's ear, the girl's bursting into a dark shade of red, Georgia grinning as she had played music from her phone.

Amity looked to her side, the Latina blushing heavily as she stood up, holding her hand out to Luz as the human looked at it with wide eyes, Amity looking away as she stared away from the Latina's eyes.

"Luz, may I have this dance?"

The Latina blushed, spluttering slightly before nodding, Amity pulling her up as they awkwardly danced to the music, Georgia sighing when she saw both their awkward movements, walking towards the two as she fixed their positioning, the two blushing before continuing the dance.

The witch sat next to the Guard, sighing at her attempts to help the two, the Guard looking at her in curiosity as she shrugged at him.

"What?"

"Why are you trying to put them together–"

"My dearest friend," Georgia chuckled crossing her legs as she watched the two figures dancing warm up.

"The mask is either blocking your eyes, or you are completely oblivious to the fact that they like each other. Romantically."

The Guard looked in the direction of the two girls, the two joking with one another as they smiled, Amity leaning on Luz's shoulder as the Latina blushed before smiling softly below.

"You know, it's a pretty bad idea telling the enemy about our weak spots, but... I don't see you as an enemy. Besides, you're a friend now." The girl giggled softly, the Guard humming before getting to his feet, holding his hand out.

"Want to dance?"

Her eyes widened, the girl looking away bashfully as she scratched the back of her neck.

"My dancing isn't great–"

"That's okay, we'll learn along the way."

The girl huffed before smiling, placing her small hand in his, the boy tugging her up as he lead them to where the other two were near, placing his hands on her waist, the girl placing her hands on his shoulder while blushing slightly.

"You know, you're rather nervous for someone with so many ideas."

"Shut it, 'Erik'." She chuckled, slapping the boy's shoulder playfully as he grinned to himself.

She had a pretty laugh.

Once her laughter died down, she looked around, everywhere besides him as he stared at her, the girl scared to meet his gaze.

He soon, however, met her gaze once he noticed her interest in other things, the boy grinning to himself at an idea in his head, calling the girl's name as he had caught her attention.

"Tell me about yourself." 

"What do you mean?" The girl's golden eyes met his ruby ones, the boy rolling his eyes under the mask.

"You know what I mean, tell me more about you."

"That's new. Are you trying to dox me, Errand boy?" The girl whispered playfully, hoping that the other wouldn't hear.

"Shut it, Hathaway, just trying to understand a... friend, better."

"Oh... well alright." She shrugged, listing the things she knew about herself, the two swaying side to side, Luz and Amity doing the same as they shared secrets between themselves, dancing for a while more as time carried on.

Georgia chuckled, The Guard telling her ridiculous stories from his adventures through the gem on his wrist, the Guard smiling softly at her, his stomach fluttering.

What was this girl doing to him?

She soon pulled him into a hug, the two still swaying from side-to-side, the boy blushing while being taken aback slightly, before wrapping his arms around her, hugging her back.

"Is this what humans call a hug?"

"Apparently so." 

The moment was soon cut short, Georgia pulling away as he missed her warmth, the girl hearing as she heard keys, the girl opening a window to show a tree nearby, gesturing to her three friends to get out, whisper yelling to them.

"I'll let you guys back in later!"

The trio hopped out, clinging onto the branches, before hopping down, the boy suddenly feeling out of his element, the group sitting under its shade, the boy wondering what mess he had gotten himself into now.
