Emotional Party Paradox

## Plot

### October 7th, 2040

At the Echo Creek Town Hall, Winston pours himself some apple juice, and Kimble smiles in a sinister way. Here, it is revealed that Winston and Kimble actually tricked the town into thinking their were missing people and that their were two dead citizens, implying that Corben and Blake could actually still be alive. Kimble giggles about the deception, and Winston asks what's so funny, prompting Kimble to praise the plan.

But Winston is uncertain, while bringing up the Stranger, Celestia, and Hoover. Kimble then asks if they really needed Hoover's help, but Winston reassures her that they did, and then asks if Kimble has ever heard of the OHS, to which Kimble replies that she has, it was just *"A long time ago....".* Winston reveals that Hoover used to work for them, before abandoning them to become a Witch, or something like that, since he's uncertain. Kimble asks if Winston is sure or not, but he tells her that it doesn't matter and that nothing but their plan matters.

Meanwhile, at Britta's Tacos, some patrol bots are investigating the leakage of the magical goo, as the amnesiac employee gets taken away by some other patrol bots, asking them what world he's on.

### October 8th, 2040

At the Diaz Residence, Celestia wakes up out of bed, falling out of it from shock due to seeing Glossaryck and Lekmet II standing ( and floating ) in her room. Glossaryck floats over to Celestia, shaking his head, and asking the Princess if she knows why Lekmet II is here, but of course she doesn't know. Lekmet II informs Celestia about her floating in her sleep. Celestia doesn't seem too worried about the news, believing that this is Star's excuse to bother her.

Mariposa enters, halting to a stop upon seeing Glossaryck and Lekmet II. Celestia immediately tells Mariposa not to worry, since Glossaryck and Lekmet II were just leaving. Mariposa and Celestia then head out, as Lekmet II stresses at how oblivious Celestia is acting, since it is imperative that they figure out why she's floating in her sleep. Glossaryck looks at the Magic Book of Spells, referring to Crescenta's Chapter, explaining that she mentioned that Dirhhennia would always float in her sleep because she never achieved Mewberty.

Lekmet II states that that couldn't possibly be it, pointing out that Celestia has only had the Wand for several days. Glossaryck agrees, mentioning about how objects were the things that were floating. Lekmet II asks if that happened with Dirhhennia, but Glossaryck tells him that no Princess he's ever mentored has ever caused things to float in their sleep, especially not since they were a baby, referring to how Celestia has inexplicably caused things to float in her sleep since she was a baby. Lekmet II perks up at that, and asks if Glossaryck is trying to say that Celestia has caused floating objects since she was a baby, sounding understandably alarmed. Glossaryck then says that he is.

Meanwhile, at the supermarket, Celestia, Mariposa, and Luigio, are all buying things for a party held at the Diaz Residence, while the adults go to a Banquet held by the Mayor. Mariposa expresses excitement about the party, as she grabs some chips off the shelves. Luigio agrees, saying that if the adults can have some fun, then why can't the kids. Celestia agrees, saying that parties are great, but Luigio asks if Celestia will be worried, and Celestia wonders why she'd have to be worried, asking what could possibly go wrong at the party.

At the Bonner Apartments, Hoover is revealed to be spying on Celestia, saying that lots of bad things can happen to her at the party. Hoover begins chuckling evilly. However, that is stopped, when Hoover hears something from outside her room. She goes outside to see what it is, but she ends up in a mysteriously darkened corridor, stricken with fear.

At the end of the hallway, is a tap dancing eyeball, which causes Hoover to begin crying in fear. Suddenly, there is a pause, which Hoover perks up at, until the tap dancing eyeball demon dashes towards her. Hoover shouts at the eyeball demon, causing it to explode in flames, much to her horror and shock.

Hoover collapses to the ground crying, before a second later, she's shown to be standing in her living room, not shedding any tears, and is completely fine. Hoover pulls herself together and heads back to her room.

At the Diaz Residence, Celestia, Luigio, Mariposa, Priscilla, the Bennett trio and the Hampton Siblings, are all preparing for the party. Rafael and Angie appear, preparing to go to the banquet. Angie expresses joy that the kids are throwing a party. Rafael asks if more kids will be showing up, and Trixie says that their are, and then jokes that they might kiss in Rafael and Angie's bed. Everyone laughs, and Angie states that she'd love for a couple to share a kiss in her bed. Josiah then states that they might do more than that, but before he can finish his sentence, Stella elbows him in the chest. With that, the Diazes head out, as the kids continue preparing for the party.

Meanwhile, the Stranger is lurking around Britta's Tacos, where she discovers the leakage of magical goo. The Stranger cautiously places the magical goo into a vial, while expressing shock that *"it's starting already....".*

At Lynn Motel, the Stranger is in her motel room, where she pulls out a briefcase with an orange hourglass insignia on it. She opens it, revealing a miniature time machine inside. The Stranger looks at it and sighs. She then turns her attention to her theory board, where she looks at the picture of Britta's Tacos and the drawing of the mysterious sphere. The Stranger then thinks, while staring at the briefcase.

Back at the Diaz House Party, many kids are present, enjoying themselves and having lots of fun. In the kitchen, Celestia and Mariposa are preparing the nachos. Celestia wishes she could've remembered her Dad's recipe for his special nachos, much to Mariposa's amusement. Just then, Archie, and a kid named Francis come in, laughing their heads off. Archie tells them that Francis just told them the most funniest joke ever, and Francis asks which came first, the chicken? Or the egg?, while Archie and Francis resume laughing, Celestia and Mariposa just stare at the two awkwardly, until Priscilla barges into the kitchen, informing Celestia and Mariposa that people are begging for nachos, before heading out with the bowl.

With that, Celestia and Mariposa head out into the party, where Celestia is happy to see everyone enjoying themselves, for once, she actually felt like a normal teenager, not having to worry about anyone hating on her for being "magic". Then, Stella approaches her, asking Celestia if she'd like to play Twister with her and the others, including Trixie, since she is too busy hyping up the game with her hyperactivity. Celestia joins the game, placing her left foot near Luigio's head, and her right hand near Avery Greason's head.

Luigio asks everyone on the board if the game is as fun as they expected, prompting everyone to laugh, and then tumble on each other, with Celestia falling onto Luigio. She immediately gets up, blushing, as everything stops. Aaron Wong then pushes the embarrassment even farther, by announcing that "Magic Girl" likes Luigio. Everyone, except for Celestia’s friends of course, laugh as Celestia runs upstairs to her room.

Celestia gets to her room, to find two girls kissing each other. The girls rush out, as Celestia sits at her desk, frowning sadly. Meanwhile, Hoover, who is spying on the girl, is also stirring something in a cauldron, while being fed paprika by her 1950s version of herself. Hoover then states that now Celestia is alone, she can finally enact her plan, spreading a wide grin on her face.

Back with Celestia, she decides to head back to the party. However, when she opens the door, she falls into a tea cup on a table surrounded by a family of faceless people. Celestia panics and tries to get free, but her lower half is trapped in an ice cube. Celestia shuts her eyes, preparing for the worse, when suddenly she feels different. Upon opening her eyes, she is standing in a motel room, where an invisible force is throwing a baseball back and forth. Celestia asks if anyone is there, and it is revealed that Hoover, this time dressed in a 1960s look, is sitting on a bed, as a tea pot pours some tea into a tea cup for Hoover and Celestia. 1960s Hoover grins, saying that it is time her and Celestia had a little chat, as she then sips her tea, while Celestia looks at the witch lady frantically.

In the next scene, 1960s Hoover and Celestia are sitting at a table in an awkward silence. 1960s Hoover takes a sip of her tea, stating that she's sure that Celestia has lots of questions. Celestia replies that she does, stating that it is because clearly Hoover is more than just a sad looking vice principal. Hoover asks if Celestia knows about the things that have been going on ever since she came to Echo Creek.

Of course Celestia knew about Corben and Blake's deaths, Sebastian's disappearance, Killian's death, the Mayor and his shady attitude, and the missing citizens, but what if Hoover was referring to something else?
