Blending In

Hey everybody! Hope you enjoy the upcoming chapter. Just a few announcements to make first.

I've updated the drabble and one shot series of this fanfiction with two more chapters. Random topics mostly, but I'm certain you'll like them. You can find it among my works!

I've also created another drabble and one shot series for my other fanfiction "Mutated Ectoplasm!" It's only one chapter for now. Just like the first one, it's available in my works and will be updated randomly whenever I'm in the mood for a drabble.

Anyway, enjoy the chapter and feel free to look at the two works mentioned above!

Bloodgood was very proud of the boys she decided to take under her care. Admittedly, they did tend to throw her off with whatever plan they came up with. The metal tentacles, Ed's monster costume, and Eddy somehow faking magic where not a part of the plan but were definitely welcome. Not to mention the amount of plans they seemingly latched themselves onto.

She couldn't help but mentally compare them to jugglers in some ways; a lot of balls in the air at once, usually trying to balance them out carefully, all while making it look entertaining to prevent people from seeing how difficult it was.

She honestly worried for them in some cases, even when she herself couldn't help but be entertained occasionally. This is why she usually set up meetings with them.

"How is everything going on your end, Eddy? I've heard you've been pretty busy as a moderator at Ever After." Bloodgood made sure to hide the papers listing Grimm's latest round of complaints. "A tough job, from what I've heard."

"Eh, only a little." Eddy shrugged at the question, messing with his magic randomly. It's weird how, despite being human, it apparently became second nature for him to use it. "Any day where I can prank people without getting into trouble is a good day, so there's that."

"I suppose that is a somewhat obvious question." The headmistress chuckled. Of course he would consider it an upside. "And all of your classes are going smoothly. At least, that's what I've heard from Baba Yaga."

Eddy snorted, rolling his eyes good naturedly. "If I didn't, Sockhead would have my head. Besides, some of the magic classes can actually be pretty fun when they let you loose." The human flicked his magic off, looking her in the eye. "And before you ask, things are slowing down between the Rebel and Royal conflicts. Grimm's been quiet, though, and that's never a good thing."

"Then he's planning something. He hasn't changed at all since high school, I suppose." Bloodgood sighed, feeling a vein throb in her head. "If anything, we'll just have to hope he isn't planning on throwing you under the bus for something."

"So that's where that tension is from." He snickered at the thought of a young Bloodgood and Grimm battling it out on campus and found it funnier than it should be. "Is little ol' Grimm still mad about how you beat him debate club or something."

"I'd say no, but he is known to carry on ridiculous grudges." Her tone turned somewhat nostalgic at that. "High school was such a weird time. I'm not sure if I miss it."

"Is that when you came up with this Master Plan of yours?" Eddy flicked on his magic again, casually changing the subject. It went unnoticed by Bloodgood, who'd seemingly gone full nostalgic at this point. "Can't imagine this is some spur-of-the-moment mid-life crisis that caused it."

"A mix of both, actually." Eddy could practically see her eyes gloss over as she remembered something. "Don't get me wrong, I've noticed how things have been stagnant since I started high school. I was a dual student myself and it can let you to see things you wouldn't normally figure out if you only attended one.
