A/N: This is another breather chapter, that takes the place of Girls' Day Out. Basically having the same end result but fitting better with the universe due to the fact well... Janna has magic. Also I will explain why I chose Janna's cheek marks after the chapter, so please don't complaining… Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 36: Making Magic

Star laid on the floor of Luffy's tower, staring at her wand. Some days it worked fine without any problems. Other days she couldn't get a spell to work at all.

"I hate this!" yelled Star shaking her wand.

"Smettila di scuotermi!" said a somewhat demonic voice from the wand.

But Star and Luffy paid no attention to it.

"It could be worse." Laughed Luffy.

"How could it be worse!" said Star.

"It wouldn't work all the time." Said Luffy.

"Okay… you have a point about that." Said Star making Luffy laugh.

"You know I don't get it." Said Star.

"Get what?" asked Luffy.

"Why is Janna so good at magic." Said Star.

Luffy shrugged.

"I mean it! She dips down without any problem!" said Star.

"Have you talked to her?" asked Luffy.

Star blinked.

"I have no for a while." Said Star, "Maybe I should."

She left the tower leaving Luffy confused, but then shrugged deciding to see if Marco wanted to do anything.

Sometime later Star arrived at Janna's house.

She rang the doorbell and Janna's mother answered.

"Oh hello there." She said.

"Is Janna home?" asked Star.

"She is." Said Janna's mother, "She's in her room."

Star went up stairs and saw Janna reading a magazine… while Marco vacuumed her room.

"Uh… Marco?" asked Star confused why Marco was there.

Marco stopped vacuuming and turned at Star and yelled "I am not Marco! I am Ocram!"

"What…" said Star.

"Evil clone of Marco I made." Said Janna looking up.

Star couldn't help but to stare at her face.

On her face were green leaves.

"I still don't get why their leaves." Said Star.

"I figured it out it's tied to Eclipsa's." said Janna with a shrug.

"How?" asked Star.

"Not going to explain it." Said Janna with a shrug.

Star sighed.

"So why are you here?" asked Janna.

"Magic advice." Sighed Star.

"What?" asked Janna.

"Let's face it, you're a natural at magic." Said Star.

"I'm not that good." Said Janna.

"Ocram needs helps!" yelled Ocram.

Janna created another Ocram.

"I am Ocram!" both of them yelled.

Then continued to clean the room.

Star just motioned to both Ocrams.

"Okay maybe you do have a point." Said Janna with a shrug.

"Look how do you Dip Down?" asked Star.

"What?" asked Janna.

"Use magic without a wand?" asked Star.

"Whatever gave me magic also let me use magic without a wand easily." said Janna with a shrug.

Star sighed.

"You're almost as bad a Glossaryck." She muttered.

"Oh come on… I'm not as bad as him… I don't get easily bribed." Said Janna with a smirk.

Star laughed at that one.

"Look I don't get the whole magic thing either." Said Janna, "It just happened after I read the chapter…"

Star sighed.

"So is something wrong with your wand?" asked Janna.

"Yeah… it's been unreliable." Said Star.

"How unreliable." Said Janna.

"Narwhal Blast!" called out Star.

Janna jumped as the Narwhal came out deformed and covered in green slime.

"That's what it's like on bad days!" said Star.

"Ocram claims this Narwhal for himself!" yelled one of the Ocrams picking up the narwhal.

"Yeah… put that down…" said Janna.

"I obey Mistress Janna!" yelled the Ocram.

"So do they speak in third person or…" said Star.

Janna shrugged.

Meanwhile at the Diaz House, Marco was making some nachos while talking to Luffy. They were talking about cooking. And Marco was considering teaching Luffy how to make nachos.

"So you're not allowed to use the oven in the castle." Said Marco.

"No…" said Luffy with a shrug.

"Wait… how many fires have you started." Said Marco.

"What?" asked Luffy.

"How many fires did you start?" asked Marco.

Luffy looked away.

"You know… I'm not going to teach you to make nachos." Said Marco.

"What?" asked Luffy.

"Never mind." Said Marco.

Back at Janna's house.

"Look I cant give you any advice… you should have figured that out by now." Sighed Janna.

"Yeah…" said Star.

"Have you tried talking to Glossaryck?" asked Janna.

"Not yet." Sighed Star, "But considering his other lessons I don't know if I'm that desperate yet."

"What do you mean by that." Said Janna.

"His last lesson to get me to learn a spell ended up with a fight with Ludo on Garp's ship." Said Star.

"Garp?" asked Janna.

"Luffy's grandpa." Said Star.

"So is he a pirate?" asked Janna.

"Nope… he a Marine." Said Star, "Think of it like a Navy Cop."

"Ah!" said Janna.

"I know I have to talk to him in the future, But I don't know when." Sighed Star.

"Maybe if things get dangerous it might work." Said Janna with a shrug.

"Already tried that…" said Star, "Garp's ship."

"Oh right." Said Janna.

Star sighed.

"I just hope when I ask Glossaryck for help he'll you know… actually help me." Said Star.

"Who knows." Said Janna with a shrug.

Back at the Diaz house, Marco and Luffy were eating their nachos.

"Seriously Ace doesn't have a cook." Said Marco.

"Yeah…" laughed Luffy.

That was when Glossaryck floated down the stairs and sneezed.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Marco.

"I'm guessing allergies." Said Glossaryck.

"Maybe someone's talking about you." Said Luffy.

"What?" asked Marco.

"They say if someone's talking about you then you sneeze." Said Luffy.

"It's a saying from his Dimension." Said Glossaryck.

"Oh okay…" said Marco.

Glossaryck sneezed again Marco grabbed the nachos so he wouldn't sneeze on them.

"Do you think you can go somewhere else where there isn't food." Said Marco.

"So you don't want to help me with my sneezing fits?" asked Glossaryck.

"Don't you live in a really dusty book?" asked Luffy.

Glossaryck just gave him a deadpan look.

"He's got a point." Said Marco.

"I'm just going back to my book." Muttered Glossaryck.

"What was that about?" asked Marco.

"Who knows with him." said Luffy with a shrug.

Back at Janna's house.

"So you want to go into the magic room?" asked Janna.

"The magic room?" asked Star.

"Yeah it's a room I made so I can do crazy magic things without bothering my parents." Said Janna.

"Today was a wash so why not." Sighed Star, "Minds as well show you what else happens with my magic."

They went through a strange door to a room that was black with yellow lines.

"Uh…" said Star.

"Every time I try to redecorate it changes back to this… I think magic has a weird sense of humor…" said Janna.

Janna created more Ocrams to act as punching bags.

"I am Ocram!" yelled all of them.

"Rainbow Fist Punch!" yelled Star.

The rainbow fist punch sadly deflated again.

Star sighed.

"Why won't you work!" she yelled getting angry, "Rainbow Fist Punch!"

She created the rainbow fist punch again this time it was massive and green and smashed all of the Ocrams.

"This is the end of Ocram!" yelled one of the Ocrams before they all disappeared.

"Okay… that was awesome." Said Janna.

"I didn't mean it be that massive." Sighed Star, "It's cloudy all over again."

"Cloudy?" asked Janna.

"Long story." Said Star.

"Look like I said I'm not giving advice because I'm still new to the magic thing…" said Janna, "Just take it easy with the wand."

Star sighed.

"It feels like I'm going in circles…" sighed Star.

"Yeah it's as if it's a breather episode of a TV show acting as a bit of a recap and expanding on a character that needed more growth." Said Janna.

"What?" asked Star.

"Never mind…" said Janna.

Star sighed…

"You know it's been kind of nice hanging out with you like this." Said Star, "I should have came to talk to you sooner."

Janna laughed, "Yeah…" she said with a shrug.

"So… you want to try out more spells?" asked Janna, "See if anything works today?"

"Why not you created this room minds as well use it." Said Star.

Janna created another Ocram.

"I am Ocram!" yelled the Ocram.

She pointed her wand at the Ocram turning it into a half cat half Ocram.

"Did you mean to do that?" asked Janna.

"Yuhi… I would never do that do Marco…. But I kind of always to do that to him." said Star.

Janna laughed at that.

Meanwhile at the Diaz house Marco sneezed and shuddered at the same time.

"That was weird." Said Marco.

"I had the feeling that someone was talking about me when that happened." Said Marco.

Luffy laughed.

Back at Janna's house Janna magiced up more Ocrams and Star did some goofy things to them… when her wand was working propel that is.

She would never tell Marco what she did to his clones, even after he discovered Ocram.

But still even if Janna wasn't able to help her she at least go closer to her…

Even if her new cheek marks were still a bit concerning to her…

Next Time: Star hosts a sleep over with her gal pals. However Pony Head bring in the game Truth or Punishment! How bad are the punishments if someone refuses to tell the truth? Find out next time!

A/N: Okay... why did I choose leaves as Janna's cheek marks. The answer is simple but clever: Alternate card suits. You see in the evolution of the French card suits (which is what we use today), instead of Spades, they had leaves (an earlier version used shields instead) so I figured the combination of Janna's color being green (seriously everything she wears is a shade of green) and it being related to spades I thought it was an interesting idea. So yeah, I hope you like the idea and not complain about it at least...
