The Next Day. In Lilian's sunny bedroom, Reid and Lilian had fallen asleep on her bed with a plaid blanket covering them both.

Reid tiredly wakes up and slowly sits up sideways beside her. He looks at a sleeping Lilian and smiles a little.

He plants a kiss on her cheek and gently gets up, slowly walking out of Lilian's bedroom, gently closing the door behind him.

Reid gently walks downstairs and into the living room. He and Shelby exchange small smiles at each other.

"Hi, Reid." Shelby said, sitting on the three seat sofa. "How's Lilian? Is she okay?"

"Yeah. She's gonna be okay." Reid said.

"Thanks, Reid. For being there for her. And also I've been noticing how much you and Lilian have becoming close with each other." Shelby said.

"Yeah. Maybe, perhaps, she and I are both rebellious, so, I think it's what attractive drawn us to each other." Reid said. "By the way, Lilian said that you, her, and your grandmother, could do a ritual for me and the guys."

"Yeah. You, Caleb, Pogue and Tyler have something named The Power, it's addictive and seductive, but the more you use it, the more it weakens you or something." Shelby said.

"And I also told Lillian that I would consider it. I've told the guys as well." Reid said. "Well, I'll see you two around."

"You too, Reid." Shelby said.

Reid walks away, walking out of the house, closing the door behind him.

{Shelby's Outfit}

{Lilian's Outfit}

Shelby and Lilian are taking a stroll around the small town.

"You and Reid are becoming closer than ever." Shelby said.

"Yeah. We are. And we've kissed." Lillian said.

Shelby stops walking upon her best friend, Lilian, kissing Reid and smiles. "You and Reid had your first kiss, oh my gosh."

Lillian smiles. "Yeah." And stops smiling and becomes worried. "And now, with Ruby Monroe."

"We're gonna get through this, okay?" Shelby said, gently putting her hands on Lilian's shoulders. "Our grandma, plus, you and me, are gonna defeat Ruby Monroe, so, don't be gloominess, okay?"

"Okay." Lillian said.

"Besides, Caleb and I are gonna dinner together." Shelby said.

Lillian smiles. "Hope you have fun."

"Oh, hush up, Lillian." Shelby said.

Shelby and Lillian exchange playfully chuckles with each other and they proceeds to take a stroll.

Chase Collins is wandering around in the empty hallway. Ruby Monroe is gently leaning against a wall with her arms folded.

"You must be Chase Collins." Ruby said to him.

Chase stops walking and looks at Ruby. "Yeah. I am. Who the hell are you?"

"I'm Ruby Monroe. And you and I can be allies. If you want." Ruby said to Chase, slowly walks up to him.

"Allies? I don't even know you." Chase Collins said.

"But you know Caleb and his best friends, do you not?" Ruby Monroe said.

"Yeah. I do." Chase Collins said. "And I also know that Caleb and Shelby, and Reid and Lillian, have become closer together. And I intend to use their growing budding relationship and friendships."

Ruby Monroe smiles, mischievously. "Starting with Pogue Parry."

Chase Collins and Ruby Monroe exchange smiles at each other.

After their dinner date that late afternoon, Caleb and Shelby arrived at her home in his car.

"Thanks for the dinner date, Caleb. I enjoyed it." Shelby said.

"You're welcome." Caleb said with a small smile. "By the way, Reid mentioned that you, your grandmother, and Lilian, can do a ritual for me, Pogue, Reid and Tyler. We can use our Power without it weakening us or aging."

"Yeah. It was Lilian's idea." Shelby said. "But you're the oldest, so, it's up to you, Caleb."

"I'll say it's a good idea, Shelby. But I'll talk to the guys about it." Caleb said.

"Okay." Shelby said. "And again, thanks for the diner date."

"You're welcome." Caleb said.

Caleb and Shelby exchange smiles at each other. And they slowly leans in and kisses each other, passionately.

Gently pulling away from their first kiss, Caleb and Shelby exchange smiles at each other. And shares another kiss.

"See you around, Caleb." Shelby said, opening the car door and closing the car door behind her and walks away.

Caleb smiles to himself and drives away.

DANVERS HOME

Caleb slowly walks into the living room and sees Pogue, Reid and Tyler there.

"Your Mom's asleep upstairs." Pogue said.

"Okay." Caleb said, and slowly walks up to them and folds his arms. "I assume that Reid told you and Tyler about Lilian's ritual idea."

"Yeah. He did." Pogue said.

"So, what do you guys think about it?" Caleb asked.

"What, exactly, is Lilian's idea, anyway?" Tyler asked.

"Lilian said that she, Shelby, and their grandmother, can do a ritual where the four of us can use The Power without it weakening or aging." Reid said.

"But the thing is, we won't know if it work or not." Pogue said. "We've had this power since we were little kids. And I'm not I'm saying that Lilian's idea is a not good idea, but it does sound interesting."

Caleb looks at Tyler. "Tyler? What do you say?"

Tyler sighs to himself. "Lilian's idea is generous. But we need to make sure that it works."

"Reid?" Caleb said.

"I'm for it, but we need to make sure that the ritual works." Reid said.

"Okay, then." Pogue said, and looks at Caleb. "Caleb? What do you say?"

"I'm the oldest and I'm already ascending. I'm for it, but like, Reid said, we have to make sure the ritual works." Caleb said.

"So, that's a "Yes". We'll do it." Pogue said.

"Yeah. Sure." Caleb said.

"Alright." Pogue said. "It's settled."

That night, Pogue is driving in his motorbike. Chase Collins pops up from nowhere in the middle of the road.

Pogue stops his motorbike and looks at Chase Collins.

"Hi, Pogue. Going back to your dorm? Your girlfriend, Kate's, really amazing." Chase said with a smile. "And so, Little Miss Muffet sat by her tuffet, and the spider frightened Miss. Muffet away."

Pogue cranks his motorbike and drives towards him.

Chase Collins makes his eyes changes dark gray and uses his powers to make Pogue flies over him and makes him land on the road beside him.

Pogue slowly crawls away from his motorbike as Chase slowly walks up to him.

Pogue looks up at Chase with his warlock eyes.

"You hurt, Kate, Shelby or Lillian, I'll kill you?!" Pogue exclaimed.

"Hurt them? I used Kate to get to you. And as for Shelby and Lillian, Ruby Monroe will take care of them." Chase said, slowly walks up to Pogue with a mischievous smile. "And now, you're just my bait to get to Caleb."
