Chapter 20: Mewnipendence Day
[Episode begins at Diaz household's yard, Buff Frog is spying on Star. A floating eye suddenly appears, and interrupts Buff Frog's labor. The scene changes into the insides of Marco's house, where Star sitting in the couch and holding a sword, trying to get the attention from a crowd of people.]
Star: Okey, quiet everyone, QUIET! Quiet. I assume you all brought your swords...
[The "Crowd" is shown: Sensei Brantley, Miss Skullnick, StarFan13, Marco, Alfonzo, Ferguson, Janna, Ed and Francis.]
Marco Diaz: Uh... Wha?
Star: [Drops the heavy sword] It's said on the invitation: You're supposed to bring a sword...
Comet: Uh, I don't think they have swords.
Alfonzo: [Shows the card] I was little confused by your invitation.
[Miss Skullnick grabs the invitation card.]
Miss Skullnick: I am not confused, this is clearly a drawing of meat, I came for the meat...
Marco: I think everyone is just wondering why they're here.
Comet: We called you here to celebrate Mewnipendence Day. [The people doesn't seem to understand] You know, the 37th of Grobnock? [People still don't understand] Humans.. [Frusturated, Comet goes to search for a explanatory book, and then he gives it to Star who proceeds to to explain the event to the people.]
Star: A long time ago, arrived the first settlers of Mewni... [Moves a tiny explanatory boat while making boat noises] Modest people with noble pursuits: Life, Liberty and Corn... [Unfolds the page while explaining] But the wicked monsters rose up and attacked the innocent Mewmans to re-steal Mewni for themselves. [Finishes unfolding that page, and then passes to the next one, where a Queen and some peasants can be seen] So the Queen used her magic to turn the simple peasants into a fearsome army! [The effects of the magic are seen while Star unfolds the page] And there there was fighting..., fighting, fighting, fighting,, fighting, fighting... [Star passes trough the "Fighting" pages quickly, without explaining them] and the Mewmans won! [Star stops at the presumably last page, that one shows the present day Star's Family Palace and its tiny surroundings]Tadaah! [Star unfolds tiny celebration fireworks while making firework noises]
Marco: But wait... You just blew past all the important stuff! [Refering to the war pages]
Miss Skullnick: When do we eat?
Star: [Talking to Skullnick] We feast after we reenact "THE GREAT MONSTER MASSACRE" Now please split into two teams: Monsters and Mewmans.
Miss Skullnick: Can I be a Mewman?-
Star: [Interrupting Skullnick] You are already a Monster: That's why you were invited.
[Skullnick goes grumbling to the "Monsters" team, the rest of the people get to choose their teams, except for Marco who is stopped by Star]
Star: [Talking to Marco] You get to be my General...
Marco: Thanks.
[The teams are shown: Janna, The Sensei, StarFan13 and Francis are Mewmans while Alfonzo, Ed, Miss Skullnick and Ferguson are monsters.]
Star: Lookin' pretty good. [Prepares the Wand] Now we can begin making costumes and after that: "THE BLOODY BATTLE CAN COMMENCE" [Marco raises his hand] YES, MARCO?
Marco: What's that? [Points at the floating eye seen at the beginning of the episode]
Star: [Relaxed] Oh, that's The All-seeing Eye: It follows you around all day.
Marco: It's staring at me...
[The eye focuses on Marco.]
Star: [Still relaxed] Don't worry, it's just to remind the monsters that the Royal Family is always watching…
Comet: Not really. It's just to monitor the the reenactment. It's not like it's actually watching us.
Star: Yeah, that would be weird. [Plays with the eye's screen]
[Later, some trees have grown to represent Mewni's wildlife. The "Monsters" team has "Monster" costumes: Alfonzo is dressed as Lobster Claws and Ferguson is dressed as Buff Frog, while Miss Skullnick and Ed are dressed as other monsters.]
Star: [At the time Star, who wears a Queen costume, is finishing Fergunson's costume] There, that will keep your "Entrails" from becoming your "Out trails!"
[Star accidentaly punctures Fergunson's pillow costume with her sword.]
Ferguson: My pillow...
Comet: [Seen wearing a King costume and reading the pop up book] Uh, Star? Can I talk to you for a moment? Look, I've been reading over the book and there's something not right about it.
Star: What do you mean?
Comet: Well, I'm a sort of a Mewman history buff and I don't want to question your leadership but don't you think that there's something off about this battle? [Star looks at the book]
[Star Unfolds a "Battle" page and the same scene repeats: Fierce but relatively tiny monsters fight the several stories tall Mewman knights, who also possess a lot bigger weapons.]
Star: Hmm [Checks the teams around her] Okay... Wow. You're right, Comet... I can't believe I haven't noticed that before…
Comet: Yes, as you can see the battle of Mewnipendence Day was not a fair fight because-
Star: Sharper, Sharper [Turning the Swords bigger], Stabbier [Turning the Banner bigger], and you need to be on a unicorn [Summons a giant horse for Francis, who is already wearing a giant armor] And now for the monsters...
[Star makes the tiny monster weapons disappear.]
Ferguson: Hey, what do we get?
Star: Hello? You are monsters: Use your claws [Makes monster sounds while simulating monster claws]
[Marco tries to grab the book, but the heavy costume makes it difficult.]
Marco: Star, I know the monsters are bad but this seems... Unfair.
Star: Unfair?
Comet: Exactly. It should be fair that the monsters get weapons as big as the Mewmans.
[Suddenly, a giant mace that is wielded by StarFan13 falls over Ferguson.]
StarFan13: I'm so sorry, Ferguson...
[Ferguson screams from under the mace.]
Alfonzo: Do something, he is writhing in pain!
[Ferguson stops screaming.]
Alfonzo: Oh, nevermind. He stopped.
Comet: Or at the very least, make their weapons less big and deadly.
Marco: [While walking away] Mooom..
[Later, the battle is about to begin, and StarFan almost smashes Ferguson again]
StarFan13: I'm so sorry, Ferguson...
Ferguson: Oh, Come On! [Kicks the giant mace]
[In her balcony, Star keeps pondering about the fairness of the match.]
Marco: Hey, Star, everything is set up. We'll start whenever you give the signal. Or not, and we can just go eat.
Star: [Worried] No... It's OK... It'll... It'll be fun.
Marco: OK. [Goes back to his suit] Here we go!
Comet: Having second thoughts are we?
Star: What? [scoffs] No, I'm not having second thoughts. This is a time honored reenactment.
Comet: Are you sure about that?
Star: [Representing the Queen] Knights of Mewni! Take off your stabby weapons and drive off the evil monsters! [Rises up to the sky and launches the signal spell, which is a giant purple skull]
[Both teams charge against each other, with the expected results.]
Ferguson: I can't do this! [Hides inside of a tree] Make me invisible!
[Immediately after the Fake Ferguson Buff Frog hides, the real Buff Frog appears from a Portal and focuses on Star's Wand, but StarFan and her mace almost crush him]
StarFan13: I'm so sorry, Ferguson...
Buff Frog: Come on! [Kicks the giant mace and then continues on]
[Star and Comet watch the whole scene. Star was stressed from the battle. When Alfonzo tries to run away, the giant unicorn grabs him and launches him far away, to contribute with Star's distrust about the re-enactment. Comet notices the real Buff Frog charging through the army and Comet grows concerned.]
Comet: Uh, Star. There's something wrong.
Star: Yes, Comet. Something is a bit off about this battle.
Comet: Yes, I know but I think there's something wrong with Ferguson...
Star: What about him? [Comet sees Buff Frog reaching the wand]
[Buff Frog takes out the Mace, but it doesn't work and he loses time, horrified, he then decides to just take the Wand with his bare hands.]
Star: [Noticing Buff Frog] Ferguson?
Comet: Star, I don't think that's-
[Suddenly the Unicorn comes and attacks "Ferguson", making him fly away a long distance, Star horrifies at the situation because she thinks that a Human is being attacked]
Star: Ferguson! [After watching Buff Frog crash with the ground, she flies right there] [Looking at the stunned body of "Ferguson"] You were right Comet, this is unfair! Ferguson are you okay?
Real Ferguson: [Hidden inside the tree] I'm fine i'm just... invisible...
[Star realizes her error and Buff Frog wakes up. While Buff Frog runs away, Comet points his sword and Star points her wand at him]
Comet: If you think that we're going to let you steal my sister's wand, think again! Not, get lost!
[Buff Frog escapes]
Marco: Alright, let's go eat some corn.
[All the people go back to Marco's house, except for Star, who is still perplexed about the experience.]
Comet: Uh, sis. Are you okay?
Star: [sighs] You were right, Comet. This battle, this war, it's unfair. Monsters should've got a better advantage...
Comet: Don't worry about it, sis. The point is we're all... still alive. Come on, let's go eat that corn. [Star walks with her brother]
[Inside, the re-enactors are dinning different kinds of corn and chatting together.]
Marco: [Approaches Star] Are you sure this is accurate?
Star: [Takes the book] You know what? I think it's time we put the book away..
[Star hands the book over to Marco and he puts it away. While Star is proceeding to eat some buttered corn, she notices the sad Buff Frog over a tree. The last scene of the episode shows how she discreetly gives him some corn as a way to say sorry.]
