I've been debating on this for a while now and I've come to a conclusion and I am going to do a reboot for With Star's Help, only because I feel like it could've been done a tiny bit better. Some elements will be similar while others will be noticeably different. So with that being said, please enjoy the first chapter, and just to be fair, I'm going to ignore the Toffee threat for a bit, so Eclipsa is still frozen and everything.
17-year-old Star Butterfly frowned as she watched her best friend, Marco Diaz, walk down the street with his head down. Sighing, she heard the door open and she looked back to see Jackie Thomas and Janna Ordonia stepping into the room, "Thank you for coming, you two," she walked over to them and they looked at her in confusion, "I'm sure you two are wondering why I asked you here,"
"If it was to get kinky with Marco, I think we're a little late. We just saw him walking down the street," Janna smirked and Jackie groaned and nudged her with her elbow, "What? I'm just pointing out the obvious, if she invited us to have a little fun with Marco, we're going to have to-"
"As you are aware, Marco's grandparents were killed in a horrific accident this past week and I have been doing everything I can think of to try and cheer my best bestie up, but…well…yesterday afternoon, my mom called and said that I would be returning to Mewni after graduation. Marco overheard this and his depression worsened."
"So how are we supposed to help?" Jackie arched a brow, "You've been living with him for almost four years. If you can't cheer him up, what makes you think we can help?"
Star took a deep breath and exhaled, "I'm planning to do something for Marco that people on earth will find strange, but is very common on Mewni." Janna and Jackie stared at her in confusion and Star sighed, "I want you two, along with a few other girls to help me in cheering him up and-"
"A harem!" the two quietly hissed in unison, "Is that even legal?"
"Well…like I said, it is on Mewni, and when I leave to go back, he will be coming with me and-"
"So…the ones who help you can do what they want and then you screw them over? That's a pretty rotten deal if you ask m-"
"If you would learn to listen, Janna, you would hear what I have to say." Star narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Now, as I was saying, before I was rudely interrupted. You two, and the other girls involved will return to Mewni with us. We'll have separate wedding ceremonies and we'll have one big happy family with a lot of Diaz babies,"
"And I still feel like there's a catch," Janna crossed her arms and arched a brow, "So what is it?"
"Since this is my idea, I decide who enters, who stays and who leaves the harem, you two can suggest candidates, there will be no sexual tension in the group until Marco feels comfortable with all of this…and I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this, but I have to be the first to marry him," the two looked at her and Star frowned, "Since I'm going to be queen one day, and the Butterfly Kingdom has a very specific rule about this type of situation, that I won't go into right, but you two will be his second and third wives and then we'll go from there."
"And why are you inviting us? You could just take him to Mewni without doing any of this and it'll be less trouble."
Star shook her head, "Jackie, Marco has had a crush on you for the longest time and-"
"But I have a crush on him!" Janna shouted and the two looked at her, "I mean…yeah, I steal his house keys, but that's just so he has to talk to me to get them back…I'm a terrible person, huh?"
Star ignored the blue-haired young woman and continued, "And I also have a crush on him, and this is going to help all of us as well as him. If you two don't want to help, say so now and you can forget about this," Janna and Jackie stared at Star and Star nodded, "Okay, so now all we have to do is find a few more candidates and we will talk to them in school tomorrow."
"And then once everything is settled and we talk to Marco, we're going to have to tell our parents about this," Janna groaned, tightly holding her beanie.
Marco stood in front of two fresh grave as a cool wind blew past him, "Grandma, grandpa, my life is going to hell. You two died in that accident, and now the girl of my dreams and very best friend will be leaving at the end of the school year. I don't know what to do," he sat down and cupped a hand over his eyes and shook his head, "I'm confused and I have no idea what to do," he sat in silence as the wind blew past him.
Star, Janna and Jackie sat in Marco's room, a piece of paper in front of them and a pen in Star's hand. Hearing the doorknob turn, Star quickly picked up the piece of paper and shoved it in her purse before the three of them stood up and looked at the door. The door opened and Marco stepped inside. He looked up and frowned before shaking his head, "Marco," Star smiled and ran up to her best friend, "I'm glad you're here. We have something to tell you," Marco arched a brow in confusion before Star took a deep breath and began explaining everything to him.
Marco stared at the three young women in front of him and shook his head, "Okay…what? You three are doing what?"
"We're going to give you a-"
"I heard Jackie, but…what? This is wrong on so many levels and…and it's not even legal an-"
"It's legal on Mewni, and that's where we're all going after graduation." Star frowned and walked over to Marco, taking hold of his hand, "I know this is a surprise, but we're trying to help cheer you up, Marco." Marco sighed and Star pouted, "You don't want us to help?"
"What? No, no, I do…but…if I agree to this…I'm going to end up hurting you three one way or another and-" before he could finish, the sound of a car horn could be heard from the street below.
Jackie walked over to the window and looked down, "Well my mom's here." She looked back and smiled, "We'll give you a ride home, Janna,"
"Cool," Janna smirked before kissing Marco's left cheek, "We'll talk more about this tomorrow," she turned and walked out of the room as Jackie walked up to Marco and kissed his cheek before following Janna out of the room.
Star smiled and looked at her best friend, "Well…it looks like Janna and Jackie already agreed to be a part of this," she kissed his cheek and began walking towards the door, "And I'm sure the other girls will understand too,"
"Yeah…wait…other girls? What other girls, Star?" he looked back to see Star closing the door and heard the door leading to Star's room open then close. He sighed and rubbed the back of his head, "What is she doing? What is she planning?"
He walked over to his bed and laid down before taking a deep breath, "I know Star means well…but if this is her idea of trying to cheer me up…I got a bad feeling it's going to end badly. If it were just Star, Jackie and Janna, I might be able to handle it, but Star said something about more girls…and I don't want to hurt anyone…what am I going to do?" he yawned and closed his eyes, "I could either tell Star I'm not interested with having a harem and risk hurting hers, Janna's and Jackie's feelings, along with whoever wanted to join, or I can try and find a way to make time for the girls involved and end up…tired," he turned on his side and fell into an uneasy sleep.
Okay, like I said, this is going to be a reboot to my story With Star's Help. It's going to be barrowing some elements from that story, along with having some of its own. I'm going to keep the old one up for a while so people can read that one if they want. Anyway, for now, as always enjoy everyone and please let me know what you all think.
