The Untold Story of Serena Butterfly

Chapter 11: Mewberty

At Echo Creek Academy...

Oskar sits on his car playing music while Star watches him dreamily.

Then the school bell ringed causing the other students to leave the classroom.

"Star! Time to go."Marco stated.

Star kept staring at Oskar with a loving look.

Serena waves her hand in front of Star's face.

"Star?"She asked. "Hello?"

"You got some paint or something, right here."Marco said and pointed to the middle of his forehead.

Star notice a purple heart in the middle of her forehead and peels it off.

"Marco, this is not paint."She admitted.

"Well, looks like you got another heart."Marco joked.

"Nuh-uh, Diaz."Serena responded as she walked forward."That little heart means only one thing."

"Serena is right, it's serious!"Star agreed. "I think I'm going through...mewberty."

Numerous purple hearts appeared on Star's face causing the blonde haired girl to pull her hair over her face.

"Weeellll, oookaaay, uh, mewberty."Marco chuckled. "That's nothing to be afraid of, we have a similar thing here on Earth."

"Don't confuse this with your Earth things, Marco! I'm from Mewni!"Star commented. "This is gonna get really weird."

The blonde haired girl grabbed Serena's shoulders.

"Rena, you gotta keep me away from boys!"Star begged and then looked behind her cousin to look at Marco with hearts on her eyes. "Wait a second...Marco's a booooy..."

Marco chuckled nervously and backed away.

"Whoa!"Serena said in a firm tone and covered Star's eyes with her hands. "Eyes off the boys!"

"When you say things are going to get weird, do you mean typical-Star weird or, like, destroy-the-school weird?"He asked.

Serena and Star looked at each other before looking at Marco.

"Destroy-the-school."They replied in unison.

"That's what I was worried about."Marco admitted. "Let's get you home."

He leaves the classroom with Serena, who lead Star out of the room slowly.

Star began to look around while following Marco and Serena.

"Oh-no-oh-no-oh-no."She whispered and spotted a boy. "Okay, here comes a boy."

"Hey, you got this."Serena instructed. "Avert your eyes."

More hearts appeared on Star's face.

"Guys, I don't think this is such a good ideaaahhh..."Star started.

She stopped at a water fountain to watch Zeke drink.

"Hey Serena, what is Mewberty by the way?"Marco asked.

"Oh Mewberty is a phase that Mewman teenage girls go through which is the equivalent of what you Earth people call puberty."Serena replied.

"And?"Marco asked.

"It feels like suddenly looking at boys as if they were made of bacon, like you've never eaten it in your life and all you want to do is..."Serena started.

She looked behind her and poked Marco's shoulder.

Marco stopped walking and turned around.

Star pressed her finger on the fountain nozzle.

"Huh?"Zeke said.

"My turn."Star whispered in a sing song tone.

"Whoa!"Marco said and grabbed Star's arm. "Okay, let's go."

Star suddenly shoots purple web from her hand, which sticks to a locker door.

Star, Marco and Serena screamed in shock.

Marco lets go of Star's arm that was now purple.

Star tries to unstick herself from the locker.

The locker door swings open causing Star to fall over and slide halfway into the locker.

"Star are you okay?!"Serena asked.

"...I'm stuck."Star replied.

"Uh, let me help."Marco suggested.

"No!"Star answered and closed the locker before opening it again. "Your little boy hands are part of the problem!"

She then closes the locker.

"Isn't there some way I can help?"Marco said and wipes his hand on his shirt. "Maybe there's something in your book of spells that can stop this."

"Maybe?"Star muffled.

"I'll go home and get it."Serena stated.

"It's not at home!"Star answered. "I gave it to Ferguson!"

"Why?"Serena questioned with a frown.

"I lost a bet, okay?!"Star responded. "Do you guys wanna help me or not?!"

"Okay, but we gotta talk about that betting thing later!"Marco admitted.

He then ran off to find Ferguson.

Serena leaned next to a locker that was next to the one that Star was hiding.

"Rena, do you think I'm going to be fine?"Star asked.

"Don't worry, Star."Serena assured. "As long as you stay hidden and don't think about boys you will be just fine..."


In the Spanish Classroom...

A Spanish teacher spoke to the students while at the chalkboard.

Marco appeared outside the class window near Ferguson.

"Ferg! Ferg!"He whispered. "I need Star's book of spells."

"Lo siento, Señor Marco."Ferguson replied. "Solo puedo hablarte en Español."

Marco sighed. "Where is Star's book?"

"No, no, no, se pronuncia libro.""Ferguson corrected. "Libro."

"Where is Star's libro?"Marco asked.

"Muy bien."Ferguson whispered. "Mi dio el libro a Janna."

"You gave it to Janna?!"Marco whispered angrily and walked away. "Ugh!"

"De nada."Ferguson answered.


Inside the Locker...

A purple heart fell out of the vent and onto a pile of more purple hearts.

Inside the locker, Star peeled the last purple heart off her face and slipped it through the vent.

Star sighed. "That's better."

Then the school bell ringed.

"Oh, no."Star whispered.

Students walk through the hallway and pass by Star's locker, chatting indistinctly.

More purple hearts appeared on Star's face and arms causing her to panic.

"Serena, it's getting worse!"Star panicked.

She notice there was no response from her cousin causing her to look in the hallway.

"Serena?"Star asked.


Serena was back at Marco's house while baking some dragon-berry tarts.

"Perfect way to make something sweet when things are getting weirder."She chuckled.


Meanwhile...

Janna stood in front of Hope and Leah while holding a large bag.

"Hey, you guys want to see a dead possum?"She asked.

"Um, no, thank you."Hope replied.

"Um..."Leah said.

"I'm just messing with ya."Janna chuckled. "Seriously, check this out."

She teared the bag to reveal Star's magic instruction book.

"Ta-da!"Janna stated.

"Ooh..."Leah said.

"Awesome!"Hope remarked. "What is it?"

"We can do all kinds of witchy stuff with this thang."Janna commented.

"Can we use it to get my parents to stop fighting?"Hope asked.

"Totally."Janna responded.

Marco then rushed next to Janna.

"Gimme that!"He demanded.

"Let's get outta here!"Hope and Leah whispered as they ran off.

"I've been looking all over for this!"Marco retorted.

"Well, now that you found your little book, let's make some magic with it."Janna suggested.

"I don't need your help, Janna!"Marco answered. "Thank you."

"Whatever."Janna scoffed and then smirked. "You'll need me soon enough, Marco, cause I got your house keys."

Marco groaned in annoyance and checked inside the book.

"Argh, gotta stay focused."He said and flips through the pages. "Mewberty, mewberty, mewberty...This doesn't make any sense! Isn't there a glossary in this thing?"

The book's pages turn by themselves and Glossaryck appeared.

"Did someone say Glossaryck?"Glossaryck asked with a smile.

"Wha?"Marco said in confusion.

"Cause that's me."Glossaryck replied. "Sir Glossaryck of Terms, at your service, milady."

"Uh, I'm not a milady."Marco said.

"...Could've fooled me."Glossaryck commented and closed the book. "Goodbye."

"No!"Marco protested while trying to open the book.

"This book is not for the likes of you!"Glossaryck stated. "Magical princesses only!"

"This isn't for me!"Marco admitted. "I'm trying to find a spell for Star!"

"Ah, Star Butterfly."Glossaryck chuckled and then frowned. "What's wrong with her?"

"She says she's got mewberty."Marco replied.

"I usually don't make exceptions, but maybe we can work something out."Glossaryck stated. "Pudding."

"What?!"Marco demanded.

"I want pudding."Glossaryck admitted.

"Pudding?"Marco asked.

"Corrrrrrect."Glossaryck responded. "High schools have excellent pudding, pudding!"

"Ehh..."Marco groaned and walked away.


In the Hallway...

Matt walked through the halls listening to loud music on his headphones and drumming on trash can lids, locker doors and Sabrina's head.

He stepped in a pile of Star's purple hearts and opened his locker to look in a mirror.

Inside the locker, Star was in a cocoon of hearts with only her face exposed while her skin was completely purple.

"Boy...Booooy..."Star whispered.

She slowly reached out and touches Matt's cheek.

The purple hearts cover Star's face while her heart-shaped eyes glowed and retracts her arm into the cocoon.

Matt stared blankly at Star before closing the locker door and walking away.

The locker suddenly expand outward as the cocoon grew in size and purple vines grow from it.


Marco brings a pudding cup to the magic instruction book.

"All right."He said. "Here's your pudding."

The book opened to reveal Glossaryck.

Glossaryck opened his mouth.

"Ahhhh..."

"What are you doing?"Marco asked.

"You've got to feed me, of course."Glossaryck instructed. "Pudding doesn't eat itself, Ahhh..."

Marco feeds Glossaryck a spoonful of pudding.

"It's...you got it all stuck in your beard."He said while looking away.


Students walked through the halls.

Zeke stopped in front of Star's locker, where a giant heart-shaped cocoon has formed.

He goes up and touches the cocoon.

A hand suddenly appeared in the inside on the cocoon.

Zeke backed away in fright.

"Whoa!"He said.

Star's silhouette appeared inside the cocoon with six arms.

Then the cocoon started to crack causing it to burst open and Star stretches her insect-like wings.

As the girl hovered in the air, her hair formed into two braids.

Zeke stared at her in shock.

"BOOOOY!"Star shouted and descends upon the boy.


Back to Marco and Glossaryck...

Glossaryck's lips and beard were covered in pudding.

"So you said Star is going through..."Glossaryck said and burped. "...mewberty?"

"How do I make it stop?"Marco asked.

"Well, can't stop it."Glossaryck replied with his mouth full.

"That's not an option."Marco stated.

"It'll all be over soon."Glossaryck answered and slathered pudding on his beard. "Star should be back to normal by, uh..."

He sets his watch.

"3:57 PM or she won't..."Glossaryck said.

"She won't what?"Marco asked.

"Be back to normal."Glossaryck replied.

"That's it?"Marco asked. "Th-There's nothing I can do?"

Glossaryck opened his mouth for Marco to feed him.

"It's empty."Marco stated with a frown. "You ate it all."

"Scrape the sides!"Glossaryck demanded.

Marco scrapes the sides of the pudding cup and feeds Glossaryck.

"Now talk."He ordered.

"Look, kid, nature is like a runaway dump truck –hot, fast and full of garbage."Glossaryck explained.

"What?"Marco asked.

"Nature cannot be stopped."Glossaryck answered. "That is all."

"There has to be more you can tell me than that!"Marco protested.

"Of course there is."Glossaryck laughed. "But then, you're out of pudding."

He closes the book on himself.

Marco groaned in annoyance while a boy's scream was heard in the background.

"Thanks for nothing."He mumbled.

As Marco runs toward the scream, Janna appeared behind a wall and looked at the instruction book.


Marco entered a vine-filled hallway where students are hiding in fear.

"Whaaaaat?"He said in disbelief.

He walked past a row of lockers without doors.

Zeke was stuck in a purple web and grabbed Marco's arm.

"Hey!"He called out. "You gotta get us out of here!"

Next to Zeke was several other boys trapped in purple webs.

Star appeared carrying Timmy.

"Whaaaat theeee...?"Marco said in confusion."Star?"

Star teared the door off a locker, throwing Timmy inside and covers the opening with web.

"Star, you gotta get a hold of yourself!"Marco shouted. "You're scaring everyone!"

Star looks at Marco while Timmy whimpered in fear.

The purple butterfly girl sprays Timmy with more web.

"I said, stop!"Marco demanded and grabbed Star's arm.

"Now she's mad."Timmy said nervously.

Star started to cover Marco with web.

"Ow!"Marco said in fear.

Star stopped when she heared Oskar playing music and flies up to see him sitting on his car.

"Oskar..."She whispered.

"Oh, no."Marco panicked.

Star flies toward Oskar, who was busy singing.

"Why don't you clean your room, Mom?"Oskar sang.

Star gets ready to cover Oskar in web.

Marco quickly uses a tennis net to catch her.

As Star flies around trying to free herself from the net, she goes into a tree causing several boys to fall out and run away screaming.

"Whew."Marco sighed.

Star flies out of the tree causing Marco to get dragged along.

"Whoa!"Marco screamed.

Star dragged Marco through the sky and across the school.

They pass by Janna, who was feeding pudding to Glossaryck.

"You're making things worse!"Glossaryck stated.

Marco looked at the web-trapped boys and Star.

He finally lets go of the net and falls over.

Star flies over and carries Oskar and his car up into the sky.

His music fades into the distance.

Marco looks up at the sky on his knees.

"Goodbye, Star."He said sadly.

Glossaryck's watch beeps and saw that it read 3:57:00 PM.

Marco's eyes started to water as purple hearts rain from the sky.

Oskar's car crashes right next to Marco.

"Whaaah!"Marco shouted in shock.

Oskar lands on his car while his keytar lands in his lap.

"What's up?"He asked.

Star crashes on the what's left of her cocoon.

"Star!"Marco called out.

Star emerged from the cocoon and was back to normal.

"Ohhh..."She said and rubbed her head.

"You came back!"Marco said in joy.

He hugged Star causing her to smile and return the hug.

Then there was a light buzzing behind Star.

"What was that?"Marco asked.

Star turns around and moves her hair aside, seeing two small butterfly wings.

"Look, Marco!"She squealed happily. "I got my mewberty wings!"

Star tied her hair in a ponytail.

"Does that mean you can fly?"Marco asked.

Star grabbed Marco's arm.

"Let's test it out!"She suggested.

Star jumped into the air with Marco.

"Whee-hee-hee!"Marco laughed.

Star and Marco fall to the ground next to a pair of shoes.

"Nope."Star replied with a small frown.

Serena bend down while holding a tray of homemade dragon-berry tarts.

"Tarts anyone?"She asked with a smirk.
