Ch1 – unknown heritage

"this is a bad idea, and that's coming from me"

Janna was right about that, I should of listened to her and while I'll never admit that to her though, I now realize the following events were my fault.

Holding stars magic wand I began the incantation necessary for the all seeing eye spell. Star had been gone for too long and the loss of visual from her mirror had left me quite panicked. Panicked enough to even try magic myself. As I read the spell from the book Janna was holding, the magic from the wand began to swirl around me. After a few moments my cheeks began to glow in the shape of a crescent moon on each of my cheeks. Suddenly the seeing eye spell took form and I was able to finally see if star was ok.

Though the eye spell I could see quite the wonder. Clouds, rainbows and a bunch of unicorns were seen but I barely paid it any attention as my only thought was on star. I was quickly able to identify star who could be seen lounging lazily on a cloud surrounded by unicorns. Not noticing my presence I shouted out to get her attention.

"star!" panic and relief both evident in my voice, simply glad that she was not hurt but was worried as to why she hadn't returned home yet.

Turning round slowly she only replied with "thaaaat's my name, thanks strange boy" in a calm manner that only added to my worry's.

"star you need to come home"

"I am home"

Looking at Janna I could tell from her expression we both know this was very bad. If star didn't recognise me or herself how was she supposed to get home? I was her best friend and her steward, if I let something happen to her it would be my fault. She meant everything to him, without her in his life what was he supposed to do? He even moved entire dimensions just to be with her on a daily basis.

"don't worry ill get you out" reaching my hand to the portal in an attempt to bring star back. I had seen star do the same for him once and quickly decided this was the only way at this point, I was going to be able to save her. Had I known anything about magic at this point I would of known only star was able to use the spell in such a way due to her deep magic. The spell wasn't supposed to usually work that way. Combined with my inexperience with magic it was only natural that the spell would become unstable.

BOOooooooooooooM

The magic from the spell became wild and free. Magic raced across the room leaving no area untouched. Janna was thrown across the room before colliding with the opposite wall remaining motionless. In a different world the magic would of simply caused utter destruction to the surrounding room, nothing but broken furniture and some bruises is what should of occurred. But here in this world I had a unknown heritage deep within me. This deep secret magic within me began calling to the surrounding magic. Attracted to this calling, magic began pouring into me, flooding my veins. Bones cracked, my back arched and it felt as though my skin was burning. A massive amount of pain shot though my whole body in mere seconds before finally disappearing.

Star flew out of a portal moments later into her now destroyed bedroom. Star could only stand horrified at what these events her sleep flying have caused and the amount of pain it has caused her friends. Taking deep breaths star went to work ensuring that both Marco and Janna were unharmed before restoring her room.

Despite her efforts both star and Janna were going to need all their strength if they were going to take care of Marco when he woke up. Star knew Marco well enough to know he wasn't going to take this well.

Pain racked my body. Slowly I opened my eyes, beams of light gave way to Janna's and star standing above me. Relief spread though me, star was safe, she had managed to break out of whatever weirdness was messing with her. Trying to move towards my friends caused the pain in my body to worsen but all things considered the fact I felt pain at all was a blessing considering what I remembered. All I did remember was the explosion and then extreme pain. Focusing on my surroundings I began to pick up on the conversation going on around me. All relief I had felt was quickly replaced with the usual panic and dread that I had become extremely common since meeting star. Knowing how things usually went for them he was sure it was going to be weird and somewhat dramatic.

"you know this is going to cause problems, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know ok, I'll do the best I can but I just. Don't . know. Ok"

Silence

"this is my fault, I should never have gone off, it was such a reckless decision"

"hey, don't stick up for that idiot, he was the one who wanted to mess with the wand"

Sob "that's Marco for you, always rushing in to save the day, without him I just… SOB well… SOB I don't know how this happened to him… SOB oh Marco please don't be mad at me"

With the pain decreasing I touched stars hand and began putting myself into a sitting position

"hey, don't cry" I grunted

"Marco!" pulling me into a crushing hug that sucked what little life was in me I held close in return. Whatever had happened had clearly shaken her.

"I'm so sorry, If id known this would happen id have never off gone, you and Janna got hurt because of me"

Smiling I pushed myself into a sitting position "don't worry I'm fine, it was my decision to use the wand"

Looking round to the restored room I went on to say "everything's back to normal I see. I take it that your sleep flying's over, it is over right?"

Rubbing the back off her head "yeah its over but not everything normal… you see" star and Janna shared a look between themselves, their faces wearing nervous expressions.

Star quickly commanded that I close my eyes and after much protest I finally closed them. Star went to send Janna home stating this was a conversation that was needed between the two of them. A hushed discussion and a portal opening was heard as Janna was quickly sent home. A Call goodbye was the last Marco heard of Janna as she was pushed back to the earth dimension. I had had enough at this point, if no one was going to tell me what was happening I would find out myself. With my senses returned I opened my eyes and caught sight of a standing mirror on the other side of the room. "ok Marco, now I know your going to freak out which Is why I sent Janna home, she'd only make you panic more, so just look at me and just let me explain what's happening befoooore…. no WAIT!"

I had already begun to race to the broken mirror at the other side of the room ignoring the pleas from star. I had to know what was going on, what horrible thing had happened to him. Standing in front of the mirror I became completely frozen at the sight before me. I could feel star behind me as I inspected my new form. Where instead of the horrifying wounds I had excepted I saw something very unexpected.

The person standing before me was not the Marco Dias he known but rather a young women who was wearing the same red hoodie as he did. Long straight brown hair flowed from his head and down his back. Thick long eyelashes now replaced his previous eyelashes and one red crescent moon inhabited each of his cheeks similar, he noted to the ones star had on her cheeks. Where star was considered cute Marco could say he was more beautiful and after a long gaze, he could not deny that he was indeed now female. The feminine figure and curves that he now wore prevented him from denying that this was just some very well done make up spell. It was when I noticed my other alterations that I really began to freak out. Hanging from my back were 4 tentacles just like the ones my hand had once previously transformed into. The one that had turned evil and wanted to hurt everyone. Purple in colour and hanging from my back I was surprised I had missed them. They reached just over a arms length and held themselves effortlessly in the air behind him. He know the power each one had from a previously bad experience.

Noticing my distress star held my shoulders from behind in an attempt to comfort me. "Marco… its going to be ok, I wont let anything bad happen to you". Stuttering in fear at my changes " I could hurt someone like last time star…. What if I lose control? What if I hurt you? And what am I supposed to do now? I cant go out looking like this!"

Star spun Marco around cutting off his distressed rant and looked him sternly in the eyes. In the sternest royal manner star know she said "point 1: there is nothing wrong with being a girl, I'm a girl, I would know. Point 2 monsters are more accepted now especially after the equal rights act WE made, remember, now point 3: if it looks like your going to hurt someone ill just zap you with my wand and lastly you wear magic cheek marks which means if needed ill just adopt you into the royal family."

A little stunned by this lecture I began to calm down, star was right, we could handle this.

I took a deep breath

I began to calm down after a few more controlled breaths.

After a moment I frowned at something star had said "what do you mean I could be a royal family member"

Sheepishly star looked away "well only butterfly female butterfly members have the cheek marks and long lost family members have been identified in this manner…. So yeah I meant be able to pull it off"

"huh"

"so what does that mean we do now?" I asked

"there's little we can do, I don't know what happened to you or how to reverse it and if I show you to the high magic council they'll freak out like they always do and freeze you in crystal" sighing "best I can do for now is place an illusion spell on you that you can use to hide the monster parts and just figure it out as we go along"

With my mood improved a little better star chose that moment to come up with a brilliant idea to cheer her best friend up. "you know I've wanted to set up a Mewni and monster friendship party, we could have fun setting it up together and since a lot of royalty and monsters would turn up I'm sure one of them would know something about this" star said hopefully. To be honest all star wanted at this point was for Marco to have some fun and see that his changes weren't a bad thing. If she couldn't fix this then she would at least ensure Marco was the happiest person in all of Mewni by the end of the week. It was the least she could do for what he had done for her so far and she was quite worried about him at this point.

With my mood lifted and sensing adventure I began grinning cheekily "crazy party quest buy adventure"

"crazy party quest buy adventure" star replied, relieved Marco was definitely more emotional stable than 5 minutes ago

"but first lets get you some new clothes, those do not suit you at all" star said In obvious disgust

"hey! I like my red hoodie" I replied offended

"but they don't suit a girl Marco, besides" making a dramatic pause star said the pun she's proud of to this day "it wont work now that your a… MONstar"
