… … … I have … no excuse … I made the same mistake … again … okay, explanation time; this was supposed to go with the last chapter … but it didn't … I messed up again. I guess this is what happens when you don't label your chapters ahead of time. Oh well, it's long enough to be its own chapter anyway, let's just leave it as such this time.
allen Vth: Yeah, I tried to write them as I imagined they would have been when they were young so I'm glad that you liked it. And I really do need to do something about that not posting the whole chapter thing, it's going to be the end of me if I don't take care of it soon.
imhere4svtfoe: Well they aren't supposed to be a major threat, Moon was able to take care of them without much trouble but her magic puts her miles ahead of the others so they needed her help. Uh, no, I did the whole 'few hours' thing because when you're telling someone about something that happened, it usually takes much less time than the actual event that happened, because of that, Star has to wait a few hours so that something like that time jump doesn't happen. Yes, the princesses of the Butterfly family do that quite a bit. It's coming to an end soon.

(No one's POV)
Moon stood in front of the spell book with Glossaryck hovering in front of her going over the spell. "Now you want to make sure that you've got it memorized, we can't risk you seeing what you wrote in the book if anything."
"I should be fine." Moon replied as she went over the spell again. "So … there's no motion required for this one then?"
"No, but your words must be precise or you will send both of you off to the end of time."
River rolled his eyes as he stood there, with his arms crossed. "I still don't see why Moon has to go with him."
"Because that's how the spell works." Glossaryck explained. "She sends herself and one guest to the proper time for one of them."
"But why can't you just give her a spell that will take Marco back to his time without having to send her as well?"
Glossaryck rolled his eyes as he examined his nails. "Because, even if we do manage to get the right time, down to the second, there's no guarantee that he will be sent back to his own timeline, not unless Moon was the one who took him out of it in the first place."
River sighed as he rubbed his eyebrows. "Fine, just … be careful, okay?"
Moon turned back to River and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'll be fine, it's just a quick trip there and a quick trip back, it won't even take a half hour."
River blushed a little as he turned away. "Okay but … just don't stay too long … I mean you don't want to accidentally find out something you weren't supposed to."
"I know." She walked back over to her spell book and began going over the spell once again, just to make sure she had it. "Okay, I think I've got this, ready Marco?"
"As I'll ever be." He replied as he walked over to her.
"Good." She raised her wand into the air and closed her eyes. "Tempricico Returnious Chrono Boost!"
A bright light erupted from Moon's wand and consumed both Moon and Marco causing both of them to black out. When they came to, they weren't aware how much time had passed, but they were in the same room and the lighting was still the same, meaning it was the same time of day. "Did it work?" Marco asked groggily.
"MARCO!" Came an over excited voice followed by Star tackling him with a hug. "YOU'RE BACK! YOU'RE BACK! YOU'RE BACK!"
"Yeah it worked." Marco replied as he looked at Star who had her forehead dug into his hoodie. "I'm home."
As Star and Marco embraced, they failed to notice the figure still standing nearby looking at them as they hugged. "Uh … am I … interrupting?"
And that's the end, see you all next week for the final chapter!
Enjoy your day and please leave your tears in the collection bucket.
