Chapter 2: Star's love and hope
At the Butterfly Castle, Heinous walks up to her Magic Mirror; which it's located in her bedroom in the King and Queen Chamber. "Mirror, Mirror on the wall. Let me see your face, to you I call," said Heinous. Glossaryck's face appeared on the mirror. And he said, "Heinous, the step queen of Mewni. What do you need?" "Glossaryck the Magic Mirror on the wall. Who is the fairest of them all?" "Famed is thy beauty, Majesty. But hold, a lovely maiden I see. Rags can't hide her gentle grace. Alas, she's fairer than thee." "Alas for her! Reveal her name." "She's a maiden with buttercup hair. She sleeps on moonbeams and dances on air. With tears made of honey and a heart full of bunnies. Her skin is fair, her eyes are light blue. Her beauty made you, number two. Her cheeks have posh pearl pink hearts on them and her virtues are no near and far. They call her White and she's Mewni's sweetheart with happiness like the brightest star." "It can't be. But it is… Star "White" Butterfly! She's not fair material." "I'm sorry, my queen but that's the truth. Star "White" Butterfly is the fairest; not you."
Star is washing the staircase from the garden to the castle while a lot of doves fly to her to listens to her beautiful humming. She's wearing brown and dirty maid dress in light brown servant shoes. "Star White. Princess Star," said maid, walking down the stairs. "Yes." "Please, Princess. Take a break, I'll do your chores while you relax." "Thank you. But what about my stepmother?" "She's minding her own business, now. Please. Leave the castle, wear a black cloak so she won't recognize you and walk through your kingdom's village. Your people are worried about you." "Ok. Thanks again." Star grabs a black cloak, hides her face and leaves by using the front entrance of the castle with the doves following her.
While Star walks through the village, her people quickly recognized her and bows down to her. "Star White, jolly good for you to escape. Here, take this apple pie," said the town baker, giving her the pie. "Thank you," said Star, putting the pie in her basket. "Princess Star, you must leave Mewni. We wished for you to be free from your wicked stepmother," said a peasant woman. "That's thoughtful of you. But where am I supposed to find Sanitary from her," said Star. "Anywhere that's far from this miserable place." "But it's ok, I'm just here to look around." When Star goes to the well, the doves go to the well and she said, "you want to know a secret? Promise not to tell? This is a wishing well. All I ever wanted in my life is to find happiness. Come on, let's go back to the castle."
At the other side of the village, Marco Diaz in his regular clothes. "I know Mom and Dad want everyone to know that I'm royalty, but I don't want too much attention," said Marco, putting on his hoodie. When he saw Star, he quickly hides from her when she passes by. "Wow," said Marco, dreamily admire Star's beauty. "You notice Star White, have you," said a blacksmith. "Star who?" "She's Princess Star Butterfly of Mewni." "Why do you call her Star White?" "It's a nickname that only her people can call her that. We called her that because of her purest beauty from the outside and inside." "I see." Marco takes out a rose, a letter, and a pen. He writes in the letter. He quietly sneaks up to Star and puts the rose and letter in her basket. He quickly hides when she turns around.
Back to Star, she goes to her room while the doves watch her from her window. When she takes out the pie from her basket, she found the rose and the letter. When she reads it, she blushed, smiled and said, "I have a secret admirer. I wonder who he is. There's just only one hint: MD from the Sunshine Kingdom. I heard that kingdom is the sunniest place on Mewni." When Star looks out the window, she sees Marco walks passed her castle. He takes off his hoodie, shows his crown, and waves at Star while blushing. Star immediately waves back when he left. "Wow. He's a prince and he's cute. He sure knows how to impress a girl," said Star, eating her pie and smelling Marco's rose.
Little did she know that Heinous was watching her. Heinous quickly walks away with anger and said, "first she's the fairest of them all and now, she attracted a prince. Think, Heinous. How do I get rid of this girl?" she then smiled; evilly and scary. "Once she's gone, I'll be the fairest of them all." She then laughs maniacally.
