"So you saw the past queens of Mewni, in your dream?!" Asked Marco. Star stormed into his room in the middle of the night yapping about queens and dimensions. Marco told her to calm down and they will deal with it in the morning. During breakfast Star told him everything. Now they were hiking up a trail.

"Yes Marco, I told you like a million times!" Said Star exasperated. She and Tom broke up a few months ago and now he's dating Janna. Star is still good friends with him though.

"Yes but it's kinda hard to believe." Before he could say anything Star pushed him under a bush. "Hey what the heck?!"

"Shhhhhh. Look." She pointed over the bushes. There were two kids coming toward a pink Lion. Marco then realized that these were the kids they were searching for. He shifted his feet. The boy and girl turned around. The boy slowly approached the bush they were hiding in. Marco and Star looked at each other. They nodded. Knowing Star she is about to jump out and yell some sort of spell. She silently counted to three. On three, they jumped out of the bush.

"Gah!" the boy fell backward. He and the girl started running toward the lion.

They started chasing the boy and girl.

"Lion we have to go now! Anyware! Just go!" said the boy to the lion as he and his friend jumped onto the lions back. He roared so loud that Marco's ears were ringing. A portal appeared. Before they could jump into it Star yelled "Rainbow raspberry lasso!" as the pink lasso wrapped around the lion's leg, Star grabbed marco. The lion launched into the portal trailing Marco and Star behind.

Star suddenly got the look like she realized something.

"Marco remember how i told you what galaxia yelled?"

"Yes?"

"I think she was talking about them!"

Star then yelled "We just want to talk! I swear!" a couple of seconds later the journey stopped and they fell on the ground.

"We just wanna talk." Star huffed.

"How do we know that you are going to keep your word?" asked the girl reaching out for her sword.

"Here." Star put her wand away. "No magic. Now let's start fresh."

"My name is Steven and this is my friend Connie." started the boy.

"Star Butterfly, nice to meet you. And this is Marco Diaz, my royal squire and friend."

"Hi."

"What do you mean 'royal squire'" asked Connie.

"Oh Star's the princess of Mewni." Marco said casually.

"Really?" Stevens eyes turned starry.

"Yes." Star said. She was being all formal because she was a little shy. Soon she will be giving out laser puppys

"How come you have a portal making lion? Does it belong to Hekapoo?" Asked Star.

"Who is Hekapoo?" Asked Steven tilting his head.

"A member of the magic High Commission. She is like the one who makes dimensional scissors." To prove her point she took Marco's scissors and cut open a portal.

"We don't know about any Hekapoo, Lion belonged to my mom." Steven patted the lion's mane affectionately.

"Which one was she?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well the day you attacked us there were like, 3 three more… uh, whatever they were."

"Oh. No my mom gave up her physical form to make me." Steven lifted his shirt, and there instead of a belly button there was a pink gem."

"Okay, I am so confused. Start from the beginning. Then we'll tell you our story." Suggested Star.

they were near the were near the woods, so they found a nice place to camp. Marco and Connie set up most of the camp while Star and Steven were asking "how does this work' or ' what to do with that?'

In about an hour they started making lunch. Star and Steven bonded pretty easily, since they were the ones with magic. Marco and Connie shared a lot in common to. Finally, when they were full, Steven and Connie told them their story. They told them about t the rebellion, about the Crystal gems, about his life, about homeworld and how he ran away to protect his friends.

"But why did you attack us? We weren't doing anything bad. You just ruined marco's birthday and nearly messed up all i have been working at!"

"Well we thought you were doing something bad to the humans. Sorry."

"It's fine. I don't blame you i am angry at your caretakers."

"Don't be mad at them, they just didn't know any better. What's your story?"

Star told them about toffee, how she came to earth, how she destroyed toffee, How Eclipsa was uncrystallized, how she is still solving the monster Mewman conflict.

"That sounds so cool!" said Steven.

"Believe me, it's not cool when you are drowning in corrupted magic."

They talked some more until sundown. Star showed off her wand and steven and connie fused. They had some clean fun as friends.
