The Diabolic Duo

"Aaahhhh," cried the naked little Ludo as he was thrown head first into a portal. He flew through to the other side and struck his head on a large tree, rendering him unconscious. At the same time, the other half of wand's crystal rocked out of the portal and smashed through a window to an extravagant house.

"Hey! Daddy, somebody threw a rock at my window!" The shrill voice of Brittney Wong. She angrily screeched through the broken part of her window, "Whoever did that, your life is about to be over!" She looked around her room to find the rock that was thrown and stumbled across the other half of the crystal. "This had better be designer," she said as she picked up the crystal.

When she rested the crystal on her palm, a bright green light was emitted. As Brittney desperately tried to throw the crystal, it fused to her hand before it became dormant again. Outside, Ludo regained consciousness and heard the voice of the snobby teen who had cheered him on once.

"Hey, are you that girl from the bus jacking?" Ludo peered inside the window to find the young teen screaming her head off in horror.

"Help me get this ugly thing off my hand. I'm a cheerleader, I can't be seen with this thing on my hand or I'll be ruined!" She pointed to her right hand, the crystal radiating in the sunlight.

"Hey, that's part of the wand! How'd you get that, I wanted it first?" Ludo hissed angrily. "Curse you Star Butterfly!"

"Ugh," snorted Brittney in disgust, "Does this have to do with Star Butterfly? Just give me something to cut my hand off, it's been tainted with her weirdness. Worse, it's not even designer."

"Can I have that if you don't want it?"

"Sure, whatever, just get it off my hand already."

"Can you let me in so I can have it? There's glass, you know, I don't want to hurt myself and bleed out or anything."

"Fine. Go to the front door, I'll be there in a second." Brittney flipped her hair in annoyance and left the room. Ludo picked up the remnants of his eggshell and ran to the front door. Brittney opened the door and quickly shut it.

"What? You said I could have the crystal."

"Yeah, but you didn't say you were naked."

"Well, give me something to put on. It's not like I chose to be naked, that's Star's fault."

"Fine, I'll give you one of my old shirts. Wait there." The sound of footsteps could be heard leaving the front door. Ludo waited impatiently for her to return so he could finally have the crystal. Five minutes later, Brittney returned and threw the old shirt outside before closing the door.

"Thank you!" Ludo proceeded to put on the gently used shirt. It was purple with a pink dollar sign on the bottom right-hand side and ruffled sleeves. "It's a little big on me but it'll do."

"Are you calling me fat?" Brittney swung the door open and whipped her hair in Ludo's face.

"What? No, I'm really tiny, that's all. Now, let me see your hand so I can have the crystal." Ludo reached up and tried to take Brittney's hand. She snorted in disgust and reluctantly held out her hand. Ludo pulled on the crystal, but it didn't budge.

"What's taking so long, I have cheer practice in two hours!"

"Stop being dramatic. I think it's stuck." Ludo tugged harder. The crystal lit up and a blast of green magic threw the small bird man back. "Aaahhhh!"

"Whoa, can I use this to scare away weirdos at school?" Brittney examined the crystal and noticed her reflection. She began to fix her hair and smiled at how amazing she thought she looked.

"No, but we can use it to destroy Star Butterfly." Ludo made his way back to vain teen and looked up. Brittney stopped grooming herself and looked down.

"Really, then I can go back to being the most popular girl in school?"

"Yes, I can finally rule all of Mewni. Mwuhahahaha!" Brittney snorted as Ludo imagined himself as the new ruler of Mewni.

"I don't care about Moo-ni, I just want everyone to know that I'm better than Star Butterface." Brittney crossed her arms.

"We could team up and take her down together. I'll make all the plans and you could blast her to death!" Ludo laughed harder and rolled on the floor.

"Whatever."

"Can I stay with you? I promise I'll be a good Ludo and I'll make you the most popular girl on Earth." Ludo crawled on his knees and pouted.

"Fine, but you have to stay in the tree house. I don't want something like you living in my house."

"Whatever you say. What's your name partner?"

Brittney scoffs, "My name is Brittney Wong, I'm the head cheerleader at Echo Creek Academy. What's your name?"

"I am Ludo, soon to be ruler of Mewni."

"Well, go to your tree house. I'm bored with you and I have to get ready for cheer practice." Brittney flipped her hair as she wandered back inside. Ludo looked around to see where the tree house was. He gasped in shock at how large and luxurious it was. Inside the tree house, there were five bedrooms, two bathrooms with plumbing, a living room with an entertainment center, and a fully stocked kitchen.

"Am I in heaven? Oh, food!" Ludo silently thanked Star for his good fortune and began to gorge himself on as much food as he possibly could.
