Episodes have no particular order for Season 2 in this fanfic, but Bon Bon will be coming super late. So...yeah...have fun...author's notes shouldn't be a 1000 words mind you.

The previous scene was changed to nighttime.


Marco deadpanned at the two who sat on the table. It wasn't really on his schedule to wake up in the middle of his sleep to make some nachos and greet Star's sister. No real announcement, it was a genuine surprise to see that she has a sister, it was a little suspicious. Then again, he was too tired to care. It was the start of school tomorrow. He didn't want to miss out the first day of classes. Nor missing out on talking to Jackie.

"Yeah...so can I go back to sleep now? I don't want to make nachos at this time." he asked the two sitting at the table.

Star nodded, "You can go back to sleep Marco."

Marco nodded his head as well,"Yeah, thanks. Night, Star. Night, Star's...sister."

The two Butterfly's said their goodbyes to Marco who went upstairs. Until every single creak and that final door shut, Moon looked at her daughter with a blank stare, as her stare was much more airy. She wanted some answers.

"So...what spell did you manage to pull off this time?" Moon asked nonchalantly.

"Too be honest, I don't even know myself." Star shrugged her shoulders.

Moon raised a questionable look on her, "Did Glossaryck teach you this by any chance?"

Star gave a subtle sigh, "It's complicated."

Her answer made Moon even raise more questions. For Star, she was tired, she wanted some way to end the questions for the sake of it. The older Butterfly just wanted some more information. Maybe on how all the sudden she became tired. Was her presence really that tiring?

"How complicated?"

"Well...You wouldn't believe me if I said it."

Moon was about to murmur her some words, but for today, she thought she'll let it rest. She wants Star to know that she can trust her, not give lectures and demand her posture to be taut and poise. But she needed to clear some ground rules.

"Hmm...you're right. I wouldn't." Moon replied.

"Ah, right. Is it ok if I ya know. Crash on my bed now? You've been actually asleep on my bed for three days." Star asked, but Moon shook her head.

"Three days...huh," Moon raised her eyebrow at that realization, but shook her head and remembered her focus, "I do need to go over something with you."

"What is that something?"

Moon cleared her throat, "Ground rules."

As soon as those words, Star's face darkened a bit with Moon gave a little dirty smirk. Moon wasn't going to let Star take full advantages of her little plight she caused. If she was going to be her sister, she was going to make some restraints on her.

"Ugh. Fine. .Worst." Star attempted to intimidate Moon, but she chuckled it off.

"First rule, the wand…"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooOO…" Star interrupted Moon within her first four words. Moon didn't speak over her, she believed it was the princess way to let someone finish speaking. So she gave an irritated stare, before a few given seconds, Star would finally stop her little dramatization.

"Are you done?"

"Yep."

Moon cleared her throat and continued where she left off, "As I was saying, the wand since you managed to cleave the wand's crystal in half, thank the Queens of Mewni that it wasn't any further, so now, I'll 'cleave' your ownership."

She brought up her hands and made air quotes when she said cleave a second time. Star gave an audible groan at her that rule and her humor.

"So I'll be sharing the wand with you?"

"Correct."

Moon could've sworn she saw a little steam blow off in the ears of Star. She clasped her hands together and proceeded, not caring for her irritation, "Second rule, we will share the same living space."

"Does that you mean you get my bed?" Star said that as if she had something to hide. Moon felt it best not to find out what she had to hide.

"No, it means we'll now share the same room."

"So…"

"I'll have to conjure myself one." Moon said with a little irritation in her tone, "Do note Star, I do not tolerate dirtiness as much as your father. I've seen your room. It could use a lot of changes."

Star nervously laughed, "We can arrange a little cleanup tomorrow."

Moon gave a small smile and continued, "Third rule, No dimension scissors, and there will be magic curfews. I do believe this was one of the first things I told you when you moved to Earth."

Star's eyes widened a bit and her back straightened. Her nervous laughter continued so much that it was made ominous to the other Butterfly. Moon tilted her head in confusion, but then reverted it, seeing right through her posture.

"You have a dimension scissor don't you?"

"I kinda don't use it that much."

"I'll confiscate it sometime soon."

Star slouched her back against the chair and released a yawn. Moon acknowledged her tiredness but remembered one last rule. Besides, she was somehow sleepy herself, even 3 days worth of sleep.

"Final rule, you're not to drop any hints of my past. I went to Olga's and that is it."

Star gave a little discern on her face. "Really? That doesn't sound like a rule. And St. Olga's?"

Moon gave an irritated groan, but a mindful one,"I know how careless you can go Star. I don't want anybody getting suspicious. Nobody. Only me, River, you, Glossaryck, and the High Council know about this incident."

"Yeah...I understand." Star said with a little drip of sadness in her tone. She knew her transformation was her fault. If anything, she wanted to have a fun experience, and Moon wants to deliver it.

Moon responded to that with a smile, "Come on. The night is upon us. We do have school tomorrow."

"Yeah, I guess we do," Star replied with a little less woe.

The two stood up and proceeded to head to their room. Every action they did was silent and careful, each not trying to wake up anybody within the household. When they got to their dim room, Star prepared herself to go to bed by getting herself in a purple nightgown, while Moon just stood at the door with questions.

"Where was my stuff? Am I to share clothes with Star? Why does it smell like mutt rubbed itself all over the room?"

These judgments went through Moon's head until Star comes out with a pristine purple nightgown. In her right hand was a nightgown that looked exactly like the one she was wearing, except it was blue.

"This is for you sis." Star offered the Nightgown to Moon.

"Thank you...sis." She had troubles on finding that last word, before gladly accepting it and proceeding to change herself out.

Star jumped on the bed and gave a large yawn. Moon hid behind one of the drapes of the calling mirror and changed herself. For the first time in a while, she was wearing something without much restraints, nor many burdens.

"No weight of a kingdom on my shoulders, no magic disturbances to watch over, maybe I'll have to talk to River over some discrepancies of the kingdom, but after that...what is after that?"

The thought swiveled her head a bit before she shook it off, "This is for Star, and maybe for yourself. Yes...this is good. You haven't been this young in a while Moon...you haven't been this young and free."

She smiled at those thoughts. Given a few more seconds, she broke her trance. Her first goal was finding a way to sleep on her own bed. Moon needed Star's wand to summon a bed, but knowing how Star's bedroom is a clutter, her hygienic side would immediately tell her to clean her mess up. Moon had the thought and then dropped it. She was to act as an affectionate sister, not as a chaste ruler. She was going to have to bend a few established rules. It was a time to sleep, not a time to adjust.

Moon assumed it was best that she would sleep outside for a while. Knowing that she herself was a burden to Star, who must've slept somewhere else, besides her room. It was a possibility that she slept outside, so in a passive return, she'll sleep outside where the stars lie.

Walking slowly across the room, trying not to awake to the sleepy Star. Upon reaching it, Moon opened it slowly to head outside until a voice stopped her.

"Are you going outside?"

Moon turned around to see Star lifted herself up from sleepy, with her eyes a little bit worried about what Moon is doing.

"I-uh. Yes. I thought it would be best to give you the pleasure of your bed for taking it away from you." Moon clumsily said as Star nodded her head in denial.

"No, no. You can sleep beside me. I can make some space on the bed for you."

Moon held her arms up against her wishes, "I insist that I sleep outside. I was a burden, and I shall repay it-"

"Well, I don't want you to get cold..." Star interrupted her with a hint of care in her voice. As if she was addressing a real sister.

Moon wanted to repay her, but she didn't want to go against her wishes. Giving up on her own requests, she moved herself to the Queen-sized bed and got on it. The Butterfly on the bed smiled and herself moved a little bit to make space.

Star retired herself back into her original sleeping position, while Moon lied her back against the bed, and closed her eyes. This would go on about for five minutes, before opening her eyes. The darkness was welcoming, but it didn't aid her in her sleep. Moon turned herself up to stare at the tall ceiling of the room. She was sleepy, but not tired. She felt like she had still many questions on how she would fit in or the state of the kingdom when she returns. It mazed her mind, stopping her from sleeping.

"Hey...Mom..."

Moon turned her head to the right to see Star who was doing the same thing. Moon was surprised on her choice of words. She thought perhaps she wasn't adjusted to it.

"Yes, dear?"

"Did you go to St. Olga's?"

Moon's face went blank a bit at those words. St. Olga's. Her demise of her freedom. She can recall vividly on how she lost her individuality to her wicked Great Aunt Heinous. How she would be the nuclear princess of Mewni. She almost lost her mind of freedom during those terrible months of reformation. But she can thank the grip of her sanity to River. Moon knew him before and after, even she changed, he didn't, and that is why she loved him. Moon hated her mother for that. With generosity as the goal of St. Olga's, she couldn't give any to her mother Luna. As if all of this was just yesterday.

"Yes. Yes, I did."

"Would you send me to St. Olga's?"

Star looked to Moon who shared the same expression as Moon. Moon was at a lost for words. Moon threatened, sent her to Earth, gave her rules to follow, just so that she would behave like a proper princess. But heck, Moon thought proper was much broader. She thought of it as court and civil, with tabs of freedom that she could keep. Not some monotone robot that would continue on saying the same word, even when scrapped and dismantled. She's been through that hell once, she wouldn't want Star to experience it.

Moon came up with her answer through those rigorous thoughts, "No...I would never."

Star had a tiny tear drop from her face and a growing smile, "Thank you...Mom."

Moon gave no objections, she followed along and smiled.

"See you tomorrow for school, then Sis."


It's Spring Break. I'll prob have 1 more chapter up this week. Sorry if this one was also short.
