Hey People What's up! I'm here again to bring you that Star and Amalia goodness you all like so much! This chapter is to the embarrassment of both Star and Amalia is built around the episode Mewberty. Now as we all know from that episode, Star was going through her dimension's version of puberty. Except her version involved a lot more boy snatching. Well Star's going to be going through that here as well; only Amalia will be having the same issues too, so expect even more wilder stuff!
Chapter 14: Mewberty vs Dragovolution
It was yet another day at Echo Creek High. Star, Marco and Amalia's art had just ended, so they were getting ready to move on to their next class of the day when Amalia noticed Marco had the badge from the outfit her mother gave him on his backpack.
"Hey Marco, how come you have the badge from my mom's outfit on your bag?" "Oh this? I figured I'd try to give it a little something. It's kind of like I'm always carrying a piece of your home with me, that probably sounds weird huh?" "I don't think so; I think it shows that you want to always remember the fun times you had there. In fact; that's what I do whenever I go someplace new, it helps remind me of the memories I made there." Amalia said which made Marco feel better about placing the badge on his bag. "Wow Amalia, that was… really insightful. In the case, I hope you find something to remember your fun times here on earth." Marco said smiling which made Amalia's face heat up as she threw the hoodie of her cochaka up to cover her face. "W-well, I'm just saying what I feel is all, haha." Amalia said nervously laughing. "Anyway, we should get going." "Right; Star, come on." Marco said but Star remained at the window with a dreamy look on her face.
Amalia walked over to see what had her friend so distracted. She looked out the window and saw Oskar Greason playing his keytar while sitting on his car in the parking lot.
"Oh brother, well at least it sounds like he's playing better. Not like the screeching mess I heard him play before." Amalia said which snapped Star out of her staring. "Come on Amalia; I know you're not a fan of Oskar's music right now. But just give it time, I'm sure you'll come around." Star said. "Yeah not happening, like ever." Amalia said in defiantly.
"Come on you two, we gotta get going." Marco said.
"Coming Marco. Alright Amalia, let's get going before… oh hold on." Star said. "Hmm? What's up Star?" "Uh Amalia, I think some paint got on your face. Like right here, under your right eye." "Really? I didn't notice." Amalia said before she saw something on Star's face. "Star I think you got some paint on yourself too." "Huh, where?" "Right there, on your forehead." Star looks to her forehead where she found the paint stain and Amalia looked to spot under her right eye where her stain was. However, the stain on Star was shown to be a small purple heart, while the one on Amalia was a small green star. They both peeled off the marks, then looked to each other, knowing what these marks meant.
"Uh guys?" Marco said. "Did you both get the paint stains off?"
"Uh Marco," Star said. "This is not paint that was on me." "Yeah, mine wasn't paint either." Amalia said.
"O-kay? Well then, what do the heart and the star mean for you both then?" Marco asked.
Star looked to Amalia who had a worried look on her face as she kept looking at the star mark that was in her hand.
"Hey Amalia? I have a question." "What is it Star?" "So this mark here I'm holding? On Mewni, its sort a part of something that happens to mewman girls around my age. Does the mark in your hand kind a mean the same thing?" "Yes, yes it does." Amalia said before asking Star a question. "Now I have a question for you, Star. The thing that's related to these marks we're holding, does your version of it get as bad as my version?" Star glanced down at the floor, before looking back at Amalia and nodding her head nervously. "Great, this just went from bad to worse!"
"Alright," Marco said walking over to the two girls. "Can you guys tell me what has you both freaking out… and how bad this could be, please?" "It's really bad Marco," Star said. "I think I'm going through… Mewberty." Star said. "Okay?" Marco said. "Then Amalia? What are you going through?"
But before Amalia could answer, the three teens suddenly heard a voice that had a playful teasing tone to it.
"Hehehehehehe! Oh thank the great Bahamut above I am around to see this! Hahahahaha!"
"Uh… where did that voice come from just now?" Marco asked. "That didn't come from me." Star said looking to Amalia.
"Don't look at me, I don't know where it came from either." Amalia said. "But for some reason it's giving me a bad feeling. Like an annoying fly that won't stop buzzing around your head." She said before they heard the voice again.
"Say the girl who's freaking out about something that happens to every female in Draclord. Hmph!"
"Uh, not to interrupt you," Marco said. "But could whoever is speaking to us please come out? Unless you're a ghost. You're not a ghost, right?" "Don't worry, I'm not a ghost." The voice said much to Marco's relief. "And as for me coming out, you'd have to take me off your bag first, please?" "Wait, take you off… my bag? What do mean by that?" "Haha, the badge on your bag silly." "Hold on," Marco then takes the badge off his bag. "You mean… you're inside this?" "Yep, now just hold on a second,"
The badge then started glowing green as a medium-sized wind sphere appeared over it. The sphere then quickly dissipated, reveling a young female with light green eyes and a pair of insect like wings on her back and pointed ears. She was also wearing a light green dress and was about the size of a small doll.
"Ahh, it feels so nice to be out of that thing and stretch my wings again." The small girl said before turning to look at Marco who had a stunned look on his face. "And I have the pleasure of getting to meet my new master!" she said as she flew up to Marco's face and nuzzled against his cheek. "I- what just- um… who are you?" Marco asked slowly recovering from his shock. "My name is Sylph, and I am a wind spirit. Your wind spirit to be exact."
"What… in… the… Heck are you doing here!?" Amalia shouted surprising Star and Marco, but only getting a sigh from Sylph. "Do you really need to yell? It's not very becoming of a princess." Sylph said as she moved to the top of Marco's head. "Anyway, your body seems to be the only thing about that's grown; but from the amount of stars and hearts that are on you and your friend, you still seem to be growing." "What do you mean?" Amalia asked. "So far only a single mark has shown up on me and Star." "Really?" Sylph says as she creates a mirror and moves it to Amalia and Star. "Then what are all those marks on the two of you then, huh?"
Amalia and Star instantly panicked when they saw that more marks had appeared on both their faces.
"Nononononono!" Star said in growing panic, "When the heck did they show up!?" Amalia shouted.
"While you all were stunned when I appeared." Sylph said as she flew off of Marco's head and stood on his shoulder. "Anyway; to answer my master's question from before, Dragovolution is a process that females from Draclord who are descendants of the founders from there go through in their teens. I imagine it's the same for females from Mewni too." "Oh, so it's kind of like puberty." Marco asked. "Precisely. Only a bit more… complicated." Sylph said.
"That's an understatement for the year." Amalia said. "In any case; this is going to get… weird. Marco we're really going to need your help on this." "Yeah Marco!" Star said as she grabbed Marco by the straps of his book bag in desperately. "You gotta keep us away from boys!"
"Umm Star? You do know I'm a boy, right?" Marco said.
"Oh yeah, you are a boy… aren't you?" Star said in a sudden fond voice. "I think you mean a very cute and funny boy, Star." Amalia said in an equally fond voice as she walked over and got closer to Marco's face. "I mean look at his adorable mole here," she said as she playfully pocked Marco's mole. "But Amalia, your forgetting how cute Marco's entire face is!" Star moves Amalia's hand so she can place both her hands on Marco's cheeks, which instantly makes his face go red. "He's even cuter when he blushes! Look Amalia!" "Wow, he's even cuter than a baby Zinogre!"
"Uhhh…" Marco said not sure what to do, until the two girls were blown away from him by a strong gust of wind as Sylph floated in between them.
"Would you two flirting hens back off of my master and try to control your urges!" She shouted at Star and Amalia who snapped out of their mini love trance.
"Geez! You didn't have to blast us with that strong a wind blast, you know!" Amalia as she helped Star up. "But yeah, sorry about that, Marco." "Yeah, sorry Marco. It's just… not that easy controlling ourselves when we're like this." Star said.
"It's cool you guys." Marco said in understanding. "Just so I understand; when you all say weird, do you mean like regular Star and Amalia weird or like destroy the school weird?"
Star, Amalia and Sylph looked at each other before looking back at Marco. "Destroy the school." They all said which earned a sigh from Marco.
"How did I know you guys were going to say that?" He said. "Alright, Let's get you two home before things get weirder or dangerous." "Agreed," Sylph said as she flew over and sat on Marco's shoulder. "Uh, you sure it's a good idea for you to sit on my shoulder like that?" Marco asked her. "Does it bother you?" "Well not really, I was just wondering if it's alright for other people to see you?" "What a caring master I have," Sylph said kindly. "Don't worry, the only ones who can see me are those who wield magic and the one I'm contracted with." She explained. "Oh, okay then."
"If you guys are done, can please go home now Marco?" Star asked as she could feel more of her mewberty marks appearing on her. "Yeah, kind of want to get out of here like right now, please?" Amalia said.
"Right, right, come on guys." Marco said walking out of the art room while Star and Amalia walking behind them, with Star using her hair to cover her face and Amalia throwing her hood up.
As they made their way through the halls, Star and Amalia were trying to keep each other from looking at any boys that walked passed them so that not so many of their marks would appear on their faces.
"Star! Stop looking at the guy tying his shoes!" Amalia whispered. "I wasn't!" "Yes you were! I saw you." "Because you were looking at him too with those golden puppy dog eyes!" Star said. "I was not doing puppy dog eyes at that guy!" "You totally were!" Soon more marks started to appear on Star and Amalia which made them panic.
"The more you both talk about boys, the faster your symptoms will appear. So knock it off!" Sylph yelled quietly. "What Sylph means guys, is that you just have to calm down and stop talking about boys until we get home, okay?" Marco said but got no response. Sylph tapped his cheek to get his attention. "Their… right there." She sighed pointing to back behind them, were Marco saw Star and Amalia staring at a guy who was drinking from a water fountain.
"Hellooooo," "Hey there handsome," they both said getting the boy's attention who saw the multitude of marks on them. "So… what's your name?" Star said. "Hey I was going ask him!" Amalia wined. "Oh sorry; go ahead then… ask his name."
"Umm… are you two okay?" the guys asked.
"Aww, he's worried about us Star." Amalia said. "What a caring cutie he is." Star said as she and Amalia gushed while the guys only got more confused.
Marco then quickly walked over and grabbed the two by their arms. "Sorry about that, they're not feeling all that great. Again sorry." Marco said as he dragged them both away with Sylph fly close to him. "You two really have no control over yourselves do you?" she said.
"You want to try going through this?" Amalia said. "Yeah, it's not easy." Star added.
"O-kay," Marco said. "Let's just get you guys home." He said before Amalia spoke. "Marco?" "yeah Amalia?" "… your touching me and Star." "… Oh no,"
As soon as the words left his mouth; a purple web like substance shot out of Star's hand, while a green web like substance shot from Amalia's arm, sticking them both to the lockers.
"Holy crud!" "Aaaaahhhh!" Star and Amalia shouted as they both tried to free themselves from the locker. Only for its door to swing open, causing them to fall to the ground.
"You guys okay?" Marco asked. "Marco, we're stuck to a locker, what do you think?" Amalia said in a deadpanned voice. "Okay, let's just get you both up and – "
"NO!" they both shouted as quickly got up and shut themselves in the locker they were now attached to. "Your little boy hands are part of the problem." "Yeah; no offence Marco, but you touching us is only going to make this worse."
"Well there has to be someway I can help," Marco said. "Maybe there's something in your spellbooks that can help with this?" "I doubt there's anything in Amalia's that can help," Sylph said. "But if there is something in Star's book that can help, then maybe we could use what we find and see if it will also help Amalia."
"Maybe that could work." Star said. "At this point, I'll try anything." Amalia said.
"Alright, you two sit tight, me and Sylph will head back home to get Star's book." Marco said getting ready to run back to the house before Star said something. "My book isn't at home." She said which stopped Marco dead in his tracks. "I… gave it to Ferguson."
"Star, don't tell me you actually went through with that stupid bet with Ferguson?" Amalia asked to which Star answered with a nervous laugh. "I told you; you. Would. Not. Win. And you still did it anyway!" "Come on Amalia, you know I don't back down from anything if it's exciting." Star said. "Besides; you would've taken Ferg's bet too if I didn't." "I know; but when he asked me to wager the half of Cressa's arrow, I said heck no."
"Oh, you got to meet the former princess of Dianaria?" Sylph asked. "So what if I did? What does it matter to you?" Amalia said annoyed while Sylph sighed. "Believe what you want about me, but I was just as mournful as you at what happened to Princess Crescenta and her family." "Yeah… I know." Amalia said as she slumped down in the surprisingly spacious locker and didn't say anything else. Star and Marco didn't say anything until Sylph spoke breaking the tension. "At any rate, you two just stay in the locker and wait for my master and I to return with Star's book." She said as she summoned a gust of wind which blew Marco down the hall.
"Just hang in there you two! We won't be too long!" Marco shouted before Star and Amalia couldn't hear him anymore.
"Okay Marco!" Star shouted even though he probably couldn't hear her now. She then sat down with Amalia in silence for a bit before speaking. "So…. Cressa's dad gave Sylph to your family as a present, huh? I don't think even my mom and dad's families or anyone of the other royals on Mewni gave my family a tiny person who can do magic like Sylph can." Star said in a cheery tone which seemed to get Amalia's attention. "I'm guessing you want me to explain a thing or two about Sylph and her magic, don't you?" Amalia said with a smirk as Star nodded her head quickly. "Of course. Fine, I'll tell you." "Yay! And while you do that we can… you know… pluck off our marks." "Why?" "Cause I'm not going to able to pay attention if one of my besties is covered in green stars." Star said as she reached over and plucked one of Amalia's marks off her cheek. Amalia giggled as she reached over and pulled off one of Star's marks. "Hey!" "You pulled off one of mine, I'm just returning the favor." "Haha; okay, okay. We'll take turns, just start talking about Sylph and her magic already." Star said getting excited. "Okay sheesh," Amalia said playfully rolling her eyes as told Star about Sylph's magic while they were demarking themselves.
After his wild ride on the wind, Marco and Sylph were wandering the halls looking for Ferguson.
"So Master Marco?" Sylph asked. "What exactly do you look for in a girl?" "W-what!?" Marco said unprepared for that question. "W-why are you suddenly asking me something like that?" "Hmm… no reason. Just curious is all. Plus, I wanted to see your reaction." "Ha-ha, you are hilarious." Marco said as he heard her giggle. "Actually Sylph; I have something to ask you." "Which is?" "Could you… not call me your master?" he said. "It's just I don't see myself as that, I kind of see us more like… partners." "You mean like with Star and Amalia?" Sylph asked. "Yeah, like that." "Alright; then I'll address you as just Marco, is that alright?" "Yeah, that's okay." "Good; now that we have that settled, are you going to answer my question now?" "Not happening, sorry." "Boo," Sylph said puffing her cheeks up, until she saw the person she and Marco were looking for from a classroom window. "Marco, is that boy there who we're looking for?" "Yeah, that's Ferguson! Great work, Sylph." Marco said as he creped under the window. He then tapped on the glass which got Ferguson attention.
"Marco?" Ferguson said not expecting to see his bro. "Dude, what's up? Haven't seen you since that whole thing with your arm almost eating that Jerry kid." "Yeah, don't remind me." "Anyway Ferguson, I need Star's book of spells." "Oh; yeah. Uh about Star's book Marco," Ferguson said nervously. "What did you do?" "Okay, so I may or may not have… give the book… to Janna for her pudding cup?" "What!?" Marco shouted quietly. "It's was a chocolate strawberry swirl dude; do you know how rare a flavor that is?"
"How is it that Star lost a bet with this human, again?" Sylph whispered as Marco sighed.
"Do you at least know where Janna is now?" Marco asked Ferguson. "I think she's said something about showing the book to Hope and Leah." "Alright, thanks. What class are you in, anyway?" "Something about the power of wind and junk. I mean I know wind can make a kite fly, but it's just air pushing stuff. Not really all that if you ask me."
"Excuse you!?" Sylph shouted angrily even though Ferguson couldn't hear her. "Be grateful your Marco's friend or I'd show you what the power of the wind is really capable of!" "Sylph relax; he didn't mean anything by it." Marco whispered. "Anyway, thanks Ferug. I'll see you around."
"Later bro." Ferguson said as Marco creped away.
As they moved away from the window, Marco saw Sylph potting with her arms crossed and her cheeks puffed up. He smiled and patted her head with his finger to make her feel better.
"Come on, you know if Ferguson knew you there he would've said what he said." Marco said. "And besides; I think your wind magic is really cool, Little Viento." "Viento?" Sylph said confused. "Yeah, it's the Spanish word for wind." "Ooooh, interesting," Sylph said as she and Marco went looking for Janna.
Meanwhile back at the lockers, Amalia had just about finished telling Star about Sylph's magic. While also plucking the last of her green star marks off her forehead and dropping it outside where a pile of green stars and purple hearts were.
"So Sylph's the manifestation of wind, which is spirit magic." Star said as Amalia pulled off another of her mewberty marks. "Yep, and spirit magic is a really powerful form of magic. It's still unknown if every element has a spirit or not, but spirits do grow alongside their partners which makes them stronger." Amalia explained. "Cool, so does that mean Sylph will get stronger the more Marco grows?" "Yeah, but she's already gone through her change." "What do you mean?" "Well when I first saw Sylph she was a little bit shorter than how she is now, also she didn't have pointed ears and her wings were much smaller. She also didn't speak much. After sometimes passed, she changed to how she looks now. But that was only when she was with my mom at the time." "Wait, if she changed when she was with your mom, then wouldn't she be weaker with Marco? Because he can't use magic." Star said. "That's true; but based now how she looks and the strength of her wind, it doesn't seem like she's weakened. I'll have to talk to Sally about this later, and…. There." Amalia said as she tossed the last of Star's marks out the locker. "Much better," "Yeah, a lot better." Star said before they both heard the sound of the school bell go off. "Tell me that's not," "Oh no,"
The hallways were soon filled with girls and… boys passing by the two's locker to their next classes. The two royals soon saw the familiar marks rapidly popping up on their skin again. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" "Off, off, get off me!" They said in panic as more marks appeared. They soon heard the voices and footsteps outside the locker stop as the bell rang again. When it stopped, they noticed no more marks appearing on them. "Thank Bahamut that's over," Amalia sighed in relief. "Yeah, that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." Star said just as relived. Their moment of reprieve soon turned to fear when they heard a very masculine voice.
"Alright boys, were going to do our warm up out here today. Due to… issues with the pool."
"Star, tell me that is not," Amalia said as Star answered. "That is defiantly the school swim team." "…Crud." Amalia said.
"By issues you mean someone you-know-what in the pool, right captain?" a member of the swim team said. "Yes, let's not mention it and get started, okay?"
All at once, the team dropped towels and began limbering up. Unaware that their muscular builds were having a very… attractive effect on the two hidden princesses.
"Star?" Amalia said as her gaze was stuck on the swim team. "Yeah Amalia?" "I don't think I can... hold out." "That's fine... I... can't either." Star said as she too gazed at the overly muscular swimmers. "So in case neither of us make it out of this, I just wanted to say… thanks for being an awesome princess friend." "Right back at you," Amalia said as the locker they were both in began to have both their marks literally spill out.
Meanwhile on the other side of the school, Echo creek high's local mischief maker, Janna Ordonia was showing her friends, Hope and Leah Star's book.
"So can you really do anything with this book?" Hope asked Janna. "Totally, just stinks I couldn't get Amalia's book too. Then we'd really have some fun." Janna said. "Now let's see what's in this – "
Suddenly a blast of wind came and blew the three girls away from the book while a mini tornado engulfed it.
"That book is cursed! Run for it!" the two girls screamed in terror and ran away. But Janna just looked on with eyes full of excitement as the winds died down. Janna then ran back over to look at the book as it floated inside the tornado. As Janna got a closer look, she saw the silhouette of a tiny person with wings.
"Cool! A real spirit!" Janna said. The tornado soon dissipated, lowering the book to the ground. It also allowed Janna to get a clear look at the little person who she could see was a girl with pointed ear and green eyes. "I'm surprised you came out of this book, so are there like more of you in this thing?" Janna asked as she was about to open the book.
"Don't open that book!" Sylph said as blew Janna back with a gust of wind and floated down and stood on the book. "Why are there humans who want to mess around with things they have no business with? And how on can you possible see me?" "I kind of mess around with a few macabre things now and then." Janna said which didn't seem to surprise Sylph. "How have you not lost your soul yet?" "Hmm, just lucky I guess."
Soon Marco came from around the corner and spotted Sylph standing on Star's book. When Sylph saw him, she hopped off the book and flew over to sit on his shoulder. She then whispered something to him that surprised him, but she soon said something that eased his worry as he walked over to the book while Janna grinned.
"I already know what you're thinking Janna, and no I didn't mess around with any sorcery." Marco said. "But… you can see the person on my shoulder?" "Clear as day Marco," Janna said her grin not dropping. "I guessing you both want this book, right?" "Yes, we need it for something." "Really? Well I could help with whatever magic thing you guys are doing."
"No thanks, please leave… now." Sylph said getting up in Janna's face. "I don't want any dark spirits that may have latched onto you near Marco."
"Alright, I can take a hint." Janna said. "But Marco's going to need me soon enough, because I've got his keys. See ya around." She said as she ran off.
"You pickpocket!" Sylph yelled as Marco groaned. "Forget it Sylph, let's just see if we can find anything in the book that will help Star and Amalia." Marco said as he began flipping through the pages while Sylph looked from atop his head. "Maybe I should look at the glossary first,"
Just as Marco said that the pages suddenly started flipping until Glossaryck popped out.
"Did somebody call my name?" he said. "Because here I am; Sir Glossaryck of Terms, at your service milady." "Not milady, dude." Marco said before Sylph hopped off Marco and floated right up to Glossaryck.
"Hello again, pudding thief." She said accusingly. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Ms. Kite blower. My, look at you now." Glossaryck said eyeing her. "Keep your comments to yourself book hermit, we need you for something that involves your princess and mine." Sylph said. "Ah, Star and Princess Amalia, huh? What's wrong with them now?"
"Star said she's going through Mewberty and Amalia's going through Dragovolution or something." Marco said. "Whoa, Mewberty and Dragovolution at the same time, what are the chances?" Glossaryck said thoughtfully which began to get on Sylph's nerves which he noticed. "Alright, alright, stop the glaring. I may be able to help, but first I'm going to need a little something first." "Let me guess… pudding?" Marco said. "Correct my boy!" "Hah, Sylph stay here while I get the pudding, please?" Marco said as he left for the cafeteria leaving the two alone.
"So…" "For the record, I still hate you for taking my pudding cup back then." Sylph said facing away from Glossaryck who sighed. "I'll tell you what; If I let you have some of the pudding that Marco brings will that at least get you to look at me without a glare, hmm?" "… I call the first spoon full?" "Deal,"
Meanwhile elsewhere in the school a few students were hanging out and talking. A boy wearing headphones and playing air drums walked passed them to his locker… which had a pile of purple hearts and green stars, but paid no mind to them. He then opened his locker to look himself over in the mirror attached to the door unaware of the stares he was getting from Star and Amalia, who's faces were now purple and green respectively.
"Boy," they both said as purple hearts and green stars fell out of their mouths as they spoke. "Booooooooy…" They both then stretched a purple and green arm out and lightly touched the boy's check. Once they did that, more purple hearts and green stars began to fill the locker until their faces were completely covered up. Two heart-shaped glowing eyes then appeared alongside a pair of green glowing draconic eyes as the two girls slowly pulled their arms back into the mass of hearts and stars. The boy only shrugged his shoulders and closed the locker and went on his way air drumming. As he did; purple and green vines began to seep out of the locker.
Marco came running back; pudding cup in hand, and saw Sylph sitting on the book waiting along with Glossaryck. "Okay, here's your pudding," Marco said as Sylph flew over and took the pudding cup from him." Wait Sylph, what are you doing?"
"I don't remember saying you could have the whole thing." Glossaryck said. "Relax you book hermit; I'm only taking my share like you promised." Sylph said as she peeled open the cup as Marco looked to the little blue man for an explanation. "I promised her the first spoon full when you got back, just roll with it." He said as Marco groaned.
"Alright Sylph, let me see the cup." Marco asked. Sylph then handed Marco the cup, where he scooped out a spoon full. "Say aaah," "Aaaaah" she said as Marco fed her the desert. "Mmmm, it's just as delicious as I remember it." "Easy, don't talk with your mouthful like that." Marco said. "Sorry,"
"Okay, you got your spoonful Ms. Grudge holder," Glossaryck said. "Now I'd like the rest of that pudding please?" "Fine, just try to avoid getting any of it in your beard, it's gross and I don't Marco or I to have to witness that." Sylph said. "I make no promises,"
As students were walking the halls; talking with friends about how class was or other things, two boys looked down and saw purple and green vines on the ground.
"Dude, what the heck is this? We got an overgrown tree nearby or something?" one of the boys who was wearing a yellow cap asked. His friend followed the vines and saw where they lead to and saw shocked. "Uh Tobey?" "Yeah Rick?" "I think the vines are from… whatever those are?" The boy known as Rick looked to where his friend was pointing and saw what looked like two cocoons. One was in the shape of a purple heart and the other in the shape of a green star. "What… the heck are those things?" Rick asked. "Hmm, they look like giant cocoons I think?" Tobey said. "Really? Got touch one of them." "What!? No way! You go touch one!" "Okay, We'll each touch one, how's that?" "Ugh… fine." Rick walks up to the purple cocoon, while Tobey walked up to the green one. The moment they both placed a hand on the two; they jumped back when six hands appeared on the heart cocoon and two clawed hands appeared on the star one. "Oh my Gosh!" "Whoa! What the!"
The two cocoons soon had crakes appearing on them as the boys saw the silhouettes of what looked to be two girls. The cocoons split open to revel Star and Amalia; but they had both changed drastically.
Star's sky-blue dress was now a light purple with a white tied string at the neckline and two red belts around the waistline, striped purple leggings, periwinkle legwarmers and sneakers, and heart-tipped antennae on her headband in place of the horns. Her skin was now purple, her hair a pale lavender and twisted into twin buns. She now had two extra sets of arms, and her eyes had become glowing hearts with heart-tipped eyelashes. As she began to rise into the air, she unfurled a pair of periwinkle butterfly-like wings.
As for Amalia; her dark blue hair had become a glowing bright green, her once golden eyes were now shining, draconic dark green. Her hands now had long, blue claws instead of fingers, blue dragon horn, fangs, a long draconic tail that had fins which ended with a pointed spike at the end, and finally a pair of large dragon wings on her back. (Think Elizabeth Báthory from the Fate series, only a lot cooler.)
"Dude! What the heck did we just unleash!?" "The heck if I know!"
Star and Amalia's gaze then fell on the two boys as they said one single word.
"Boooooys…"
"So… you said Star is going through Mewberty and Princess Amalia dealing with Dragovolution, right?" Glossaryck asked Marco as he cleaned the pudding from his bread, thanks to Sylph's complaining. "Yeah, so how do I make it stop?" "Yeah, you can't stop it." "That's not any option for me, I can't just leave them both like that." "Relax kid," Glossaryck said as he looked at a digital watch on his arm. "Since then both started changing at the same, they should be back to normal at around… 3:57 pm or they won't."
"They won't what? Finish your sentence." Sylph said making the little blue mane sigh before he spoke again. "They won't turn back to normal."
"Wait, that's it? There's nothing I can do?" Marco asked only for Glossaryck to point to his open mouth. "It's empty, you ate it all." "Scrape the sides,"
"That's it! Come here!" Sylph then flew over and started yanking harshly on Glossaryck's beard. "Ow, ow, ow, alright, I'll talk! Just let go!" he bagged as the wind spirit let go of him. "Sheesh; look kid, nature is like a runaway dump truck. Hot, fats and full of garbage."
"What?" Marco said. "What he means Marco; is that since what's happening to Star and Amalia is a natural thing, we can't stop it." Sylph explained.
"Thank you Ms. Sylph. Now if that's all, I'll be going now." Glossaryck said as floated down into that open book. "What!? There has to be more you can tell me." "Of course there is; but then, you're out of pudding." He said as he closes the book.
"Un-be-lieveable," Sylph said while Marco rubbed his temples. The two then heard a scream coming from far away. "Ugh, come on Sylph!" Marco said as he ran to where the scream came from. "Thanks for nothing hermit!" She shouted and flew after Marco.
Once Sylph caught up to Marco, the two continued until they started to see hanging purple and green vines, claw marks and purple hearts everywhere.
"Whaaaaaaaaat?" they both said as they moved forward. Suddenly Marco was grabbed by his arm. He looked and saw it was boy, trapped in a locker covered in purple webbing while other were trapped in green crystals along with other boys.
"Hey! You gotta get us outta here!" he begged.
Marco and Sylph soon heard the sounds of screaming coming from the boy's rest room. The door was soon blasted off its hinges as a green dragon-humanoid leaped out and land on all fours as purple butterfly-humanoid flew out carrying a terrified boy.
"Sylph? That can't… is that?" "Yeah Marco," Sylph said pocking her head out from his hoodie. "I think that's Star and Amalia right there." "This… is what happens with them?" "Pretty much."
Amalia then ran over to the lockers with Star following behind her carrying the flailing boy. Amalia then tore the door off the locker with her tail as Star tossed the boy inside, where she began webbing him up as Amalia's clawed hands shinned green incasing the him in crystal.
"This is… defiantly new," Sylph said. "What is?" Marco asked. "Well it's just that… I was excepting them both to be fighting over claiming all the boys here. But instead, it looks like their working together. When it comes to matting in wildlife, there's usually fighting over a partner." Sylph explained. "This the first I've seen two females actually cooperating in finding a potential mate." "I guess even when they're both like this they still work together." Marco said. "Anyway; we need to try and snap them out of… whatever their doing," "Marco wait!" Sylph said urgently. "You can't just walk over to them! The minute they see you, who knows what will happen." "What? Won't I just get cocooned like the rest of these guys?" "I don't think so, Marco you're the only boy who interacts with them daily. So they consider you a more… umm… favorable choice." She said which made Marco a bit more nervous. "Even if that's the case; I still want to help them." He said which didn't fail to impress Sylph, seeing as how Okita had told her how this boy risked almost getting killed by an elder dragon to protect one of these girls. "Alright; Glossaryck said that they should turn back to normal at 3:57pm," Sylph then looked to clock on the wall next to them. "It's 3:30 right now, so…" "Your suggesting I keep them both busy for 27 minutes, aren't you?" Marco asked. "I'll be helping you as much as I can. Remember your partner is a first-class elemental spirit; this should be easy." Sylph said confidently which got Marco to laugh a little. "Alright, I'll be counting on you then." "Right!"
Marco took a few breaths to calm himself before walking towards what could possibly be the most dangerous thing he's done. When he had decided he was at a good enough distance to give him a head start, he called out to the two girls.
"Star! Amalia!"
The two had stopped cocooning the boy they caught and turned around at the sound of their names being called. They immediately spotted Marco who was waving at them with a nervous smile on his face.
"Hey you guys, haha." He said as they continued staring at him. They then looked to each other and smiled as they looked back at Marco. "Why do I get the feeling those smiles they have aren't good ones?" "Maaaaarcooo…." They both said in very slow and longing tones before dashing at him. "Sylph!"
"Hang on! Heavenly Wind Ark!" An ark-like vessel made of soon forms under Marco and launches him into the air avoiding Star and Amalia's lung. "Whoa! I didn't know you could use the wind to do stuff like this." Marco said amazed. "Try not to be too impressed yet, I have a lot more to show." Marco and Sylph looked down and saw Star quickly flying up towards them. Sylph quickly had the wind ark move as Star came close, but was forced to stop when Amalia jumped out from below and was now above them. "Since when can Amalia jump that high!?" Marco asked in panic. "Looks like her physical skills are stronger in that state." Sylph said as Amalia dove towards them. Marco looked back and saw Star coming at them from behind. "Here comes Star again!" "Not a problem, Towering Tornado!" just as Amalia and Star got close, a tornado suddenly surrounds Marco and Sylph blowing the two away from them with its powerful winds. Sylph then had the wind arc land back on the ground, which prompted Marco to run and hide behind one of the trees in the school courtyard. "Sylph, you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine, I managed blow Amalia back a far distance. And since we know those two are working as a team, I figured Star would go after her to make sure she's okay, buying us more time." Sylph said. "Speaking of which; how are we doing on time?" "Oh, hold on…" Marco checked his watch and saw that it read 3:45. "We've still got twelve more minutes to go," "Okay, that shouldn't be too bad. They seem to be relying on basic pincer tactics so long as we can avoid or push then back, we should be – "
Sylph didn't get to finish as she was suddenly blasted off Marco's shoulder and stuck to the locker with an all too familiar purple heart webbing. Marco then looked up and paled as he saw Star floating in the air with Amalia next to her, both them smiling at him with glee.
"What!? How could they have sneaked up on us? I should have been able to at least sense them." Sylph said. Marco noticed that both Star and Amalia had a light coating of what looked like green glitter on them. "What's that green glittery looking stuff on them?" Marco asked. When Sylph saw what Marco was talking about, she let out an annoyed huff. "Are you kidding me!" "What is it?" "Ugh! Those crystals we saw Amalia incasing those boys in? Apparently they can also mask a person's magic. Which why I couldn't sense them coming." "Are you alright!?" Marco aske concerned. "Fine, just stuck is all. Ah! Behind you Marco!" Marco looked back and saw Star and Amalia bolting towards him. Sylph quickly summoned a powerful wind guts to push them back. Amalia swiftly dug her clawed hands into the ground to brace herself. When she saw Star fly passed her, she quickly used her tail and latched onto her to keep her from being blown away. "Their teamwork is really beginning to get on my nerves!" Sylph yelled.
"You two are making things worse, you know." Marco and Sylph looked over and saw Glossaryck being fed pudding by Janna who were watching from a safe distance. "Just let it happen." "Are you out of your mind!?" Sylph yelled. "If you think I'm going to let Marco torn apart, then you have got to be – "
"Sylph… stop the wind." Marco said which shocked the wind spirit.
"What!?" "I said stop the wind, just… let them do… whatever their going to do to me." "But Marco what if – " Marco turned and smiled which stopped Sylph's argument dead. "I'll be fine; trust me… okay?" he said in a kind voice that had little tears forming at the corners of Sylph's eye. "O-okay," she said as the winds ceased. Star and Amalia were confused by the sudden stopping of the winds, but quickly dismissed it as Amalia summoned a large green crystal behind Marco and Star webbed him to it. Once their prey was secured, Amalia and Star grabbed a hold of the crystal and flew off into the sky. Sylph watched helplessly as her new master was whisked away from her and she couldn't do anything.
"Well… that happened." Glossaryck said as he floated over and snapped his fingers, releasing Sylph. She slowly floated down to the ground and landed on her knees with her head down as she quietly cried at the loss of someone close to her. "Again," she said as she raised her tear soaked face to the sky. "I let it happen again." Just as she was about to cry again, Glossaryck looked at his watch which read 3:57, then looked to the sky where he and Sylph saw something fluttering in the air before landing in front of them.
They saw that it was a pale purple heart and a pale green star. Soon more hearts and stars started to fall from the sky which was then followed by screaming. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" That ended with something falling from the sky into a pile of purple hearts and green stars that were in front of the lockers. Sylph quickly flew over to the crash site where she saw Marco climbing out of the pile.
"Well… cough… at the least the landing was soft." He groaned as he dusted himself off. He looked up and saw Sylph floating in front of him looking ready to cry. She quickly flew over to him and crashed right into his chest and cried. "DON'T EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN YOU IDIDOT! I THOUGHT I LOST YOU! MORON! STUPID! IGNORAMUS!" she yelled as she hit him repeated with her tiny fists. Marco scooped her up into his hand and used his other one to gentle whip her tears away as he smiled. "I'll try not to, sorry for scaring you." "O-okay. Wait, what happened to – "
"Ugh, my head hurts." Star groaned as she climbed out with Amalia, both of them back to normal. "Your head? Star, my whole body hurts. I feel like Ratha sat on top of me for an entire day." "How would you – " "Don't ask,"
"You guys are alright!" Marco said happily as he brought them both in for a hug. The two were surprised at first, but soon hugged him back. The hug was short-lived however at the sound of buzzing. "Um, anyone know what that was?" Amalia asked.
Star moved her hair back and turned around to revel a pair of tiny wings to which she squeals excitedly.
"Look guys! I got my mewberty wings!" Star said excitedly. "You literally grew wings?" Amalia said. "Yeah, this is what happens after my mewberty. What about you Amalia?" "Me? Well… look closely at my eyes," Amalia said. Marco and Star look closely and see that Amalia's eyes haven't really changed. But when she blinked, they changed from normal to draconic which surprised them. "Whoa! What are those?" Marco asked in shock at what he saw. "Those are my dragon eyes; they allow me to see things that you normally wouldn't be able to see. Also check these out," Amalia then opens her mouth to show two pointed fangs at the top. "Those are my dragon fangs," "So cool! But, what are they for?" Star asked. "I don't really know myself. So anyway; can you fly with those wings, Star?" "Let's see!"
Star grabs Marco and Amalia by their arms as she gets her wings fluttering. She then jumps into the air and they begin to fly… for about 3 seconds before hitting the ground which prompts Sylph to laugh.
"I guess your wings still need a more growing before you start soaring through the skies, haha." Sylph said through her laughing fit. 'Okita, looks like you truly did find someone amazing for your daughter.' She thought as the three teens got up off the ground. "Although; she may either have competition or maybe someone she'll have to share with." She said with a knowing smile as she glanced at Star. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see when a certain night rolls around."
"Okay; Star? how about we wait for your wings to grow out more before we try that again, yeah?" Amalia asked. "That fine," Star said. "I more excited about flying on my very own dragon soon. Which reminds me; how's your egg been doing Marco?" she asked.
"Oh, well actually before we left for school this morning, I did check it and found it had a small crack on one side." Marco said which got the two girls excited. "So I gave my egg to Sally so she could give it a look over, and she said it should hatch around the same time as Star's egg." "That would be so cool if both our eggs hatched at the same time!" Star said excitedly as she grabbed Marco and Amalia's hands and started quickly dragging them home so they could all see the progression of the two dragon eggs.
A/N: Hey people hope you like this chapter. So yeah, Star has her mewberty wings and Amalia has dragon eyes and fangs. And what could Sylph mean by "a certain night" ? Keep reading to find the answers. Also; in case this chapter doesn't fall on the day, happy new years and have a great 2019! ;)
