When Ludo first got the wand, I knew it should be easier to take it. He's Ludo. But I was sadly mistaken. The annoying bird is actually powerful, and has this bodyguard. Karate Boy...

/\/\

Marco stared at the bird in front of him. He was smiling happily as this little rattle or wand as he said it emmited a rainbow with some green going through it over his head.

Is that supposed to be a... uhm... rainbow?! Marco thought as he watched it catch fire.

"Crap! Uhm...! Water! I need water!" This so called "Ludo" waved his wand and shouted, "Tsunami blast!" at the top of his lungs making blue and green water spout from the stick.

"Ehm... so your name is Ludo of Avarius? And you're from another dimension called Mewni?" Marco asked, watching Ludo run around in panic as water flooded the middle hall.

"Yeah! Help?!!!" Ludo stopped running when all the water miraculously disappeared, leaving the floor wet and slippery though. "Oh... never mind. Forgot this was magic."

Marco gulped. I can stay away now that I know his name... The boy backed away, a smile plastered on his face. "Well, that's the end of our tour! I'm going home now."

Ludo looked at Marco, an eyebrow raised as he ran off. "He does know I'll be staying with him? Right?"

"Who are you talking to?" Ludo turned to see this girl in a beanie looking at him confused.

"No one." Ludo stared back to where Marco had gone. He was now a spot in the distance. "Gotta blast!"

/\/\

Today was... different. Marco thought tiredly, rubbing his eyes and yawning. I can't wait to get home and go to sleep. Crash on my bed... Marco grabbed his house keys from his pocket and unlocked the door.

Sleep till dinner. He slowly opened the door. Go take a nice shower... WHATMarco's eyes widened when he saw that magical prince from another dimension siting on his couch in between his parents.

"Marco!" His mother, Angie, stood up and showed Marco Ludo. "This is Ludo. You've met him." An edge sounded in her voice. "He said you ran off?"

Marco's jaw hit the floor as Ludo gave a kinky smile. "Yeah you did. You said 'Well, that's the end of our tour! I'm going home now.' I'm a foreign exchange student? Right? Wouldn't I come here?"

Marco faced palmed.

"It would be nice to have a little glimmer of magic in this house, right Raphael?" Mrs. Diaz looked up at her husband.

"Yes it would!" He answered, an accent tinting his voice.

"Could you show Ludo to his new room?" Angie asked, looking back at Marco.

"Sure..." Marco looked at Ludo's giant trunk of stuff from his home. "You can carry that, right?"

Ludo nodded. "Levitato!" A blast of green magic came from his wand, taking the trunk and levitating it. "I'm ready! Show me where to go!"

/\/\

A Frog like monster watched a boy and Ludo go up to a higher level in the house through the window. An evil laugh escaped his mouth, his webbed hands reaching to grab a pair of scissors.

Opening them, he tore a rip in the air and a portal opened before him. With a mighty leap, he jumped into the portal.

The Frog monster landed on the other side of the portal in a crouch, his evil grin still on his face.

"Princess, muah muah!" Buff Frog said, putting two fingers to his mouth and kissing them. "They hid the prince in the Earth dimension! And he's... unguarded."

"Really?" A bubbly yet dark voice emitted from a colorful throne. The chair turned around quickly to show a pretty blonde girl with hearts planted on her cheeks.

The girl leaned forward on her arm, her elbow resting on the plush blue armrest. "Unguarded? In the Earth dimension? This will be a piece of cake! I can get the wand easily!

"I'd have the power to take over Mewni! I'd have the power to he—..."

"Star?" Buff Frog asked, looking at the blode girl as her sapphire eyes downcast. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" She said, jumping out her throne. "I have to change the wallpapers here! Looking at red brick covered with red is irritating my eyes!"

Buff Frog watched as Star grabbed her scissors from her pocket. They were blue and pink speckled scissors with a golden gem in the middle.

"To Earth!" She cried.

"I've never seen a room so bland before."

Marco slouched as Ludo walked around examining his new room. He gave comments on the interior of the dressers and the exterior of the twin bed.

He waved his hand/wing toward to floor saying the tile was only one color and not marble. The bird even commented saying the window had no balcony and was not big enough.

Marco had had enough. "THEN CHANGE THE ROOM." He started to rub his temples.

"Oh, you're right! Magic!" Ludo waved his wand. "Dark night room expand!"

Green and blue magic blasted from his wand, circling the room. Soon, a green brick castle tower appeared at the side of the Diaz house.

Marco's eyes widened. Stairs twirled up toward the pointed roof, a pole following them. Green fire torches lit the room along the wall with a chandelier dropping from the roof.

It was a nice 3 story room.

Over done? Marco nodded at the thought.

"Much better!" Ludo exclaimed, dropping onto his blue canopy bed.

"I want a room like this..." Marco muttered under his breath, but Ludo seemed to have heard him.

"Really?!" Ludo jumped from is canopy bed and stared at the boy. "I can do that!"

"Could you do—" Marco was cut off by the little bird running to his room. Oh no... he might do something wrong...

Marco quickly ran after him. "Wait! I change my mind!!!"

But it was too late. Ludo's wand was already pointed at his room. "Dark night suck portal!!!"

Marco watched in horror as a huge black hole appeared in the middle of his room. Everything... everything... was sucked up into the portal... including them almost before Marco closed the door.

Marco's breath heaved, his brown eyes looking anywhere but Ludo. "SUCK?! WHY WAS SUCK IN THERE?!"

"I DUNNO IT JUST CAME OUT THAT WAY!" Ludo held his wand at his heart as his little chest went up and down at hazordous speeds.

"You know what?!" Marco gave Ludo a hard, cold look, making the bird flinch. "If you're staying here, then I'm not!"

"Fine!" Ludo yelled back.

Marco moved to the hallway window, giving him a hard stare before he fell out.

Ludo couldn't help but run to it. "Are you okay?!"

"The cacti broke my fall." Marco said, his voice deadpanned.

"Want so—"

Before Ludo could say anything, Marco simply got up and ran off.

"Rude."

/\/\

Ludo looked at the boy leaning on a building. He was drinking something, his eyes cautious.

Ludo sighed, sitting on his fluffy green cloud. He doesn't want my help. But I feel bad. I've never felt bad before. He looked up to see Marco sighing, sitting on the ground.

He needs help.

Quickly, Ludo flew over there. Marco jumped away when he saw a green cloud zooming at him.

"Wha!" He jumped up off the ground, looking at Ludo.

Ludo jumped to the ground, the green cloud disappearing, making him shorter. He bowed his head.

"Look, I'm sorry about everything. Your school, room. Everything. Kinda messed up your house." Ludo bowed his head more. "I should've been more cautious. I don't know how to use the wand very well.

"I'll live somewhere else." Ludo nodded.

Marco didn't like Ludo apologizing. He should've been forgiving and helpful. As he was about to say something, his eyes caught something behing the bird.

"L-Ludo..." Marco pointed behind the kappa.

Ludo turned around only to gasp. "Star!" An army of monsters stood behind her.

"Prince Ludo." Star, the pretty girl with Sapphire eyes stared at the little guy. She tipped her skull hat. "I'm here to take the wand. I'm sure you know?"

"You're pretty."

Star's head snapped up to see a boy in a red hoodie staring at her.

"Marco!" Ludo whisper yelled. "You can't say that to the enemy!"

Marco shook his head and nodded.

But Star was still staring at him. Her eyes wide and mouth ajar. He called me pretty.

Buff Frog looked at his frozen leader and sighed. Lovestruck, Star Butterfly. You are lovestruck.

"Attack!" Star cried out finally, still staring at Marco.

Ludo braced himself, that kinky smile appearing before Marco jumped in front of him. He kicked a charging monster, chopped it, and then kicked it to the ground before planting his foot on its head.

"You can fight?" Ludo asked.

"He can fight?" Star asked, turning to Buff Frog who simply shrugged.

"It's called... KARATE!!!" Marco said, karate chopping another monster.

Star watched as her monsters went to work in retrieving the wand. He's good.

Before she knew it, Ludo was looking up at her. "Want some of this Star?" He asked smugly, pointing his wand toward the defeated monsters.

I actually don't want some of that Marco kid... Star sighed. "No. Retreat."

Star pulled out her scissors and cut a portal through Earth's existence. "Into the portal. I'll make sure you all have nice glasses of water and juice, kay?"

"Yay!" With that, the monsters rushed into the portal.

Star turned to Marco and Ludo. "I'll get the wand soon. Be ready when I do."

And with that, she jumped into the portal.

The portal closed and Marco turned to Ludo. "Look, I'm sorry. I should have been kinder. Wanna be friends? You can stay with us." The boy put out his hand.

Ludo looked at it and smiled. He grabbed Marco's hand and shook it, quickly letting go.

"Would we fight monsters all the time?" Marco asked excitedly.

"Yeah," Ludo answered, looking at the boy jump and yell So dangerous at the top of his lungs.

We'll be good friends.

"Princess Star!" Buff Frog called, pointing to the red wallpaper on the brick wall. "You said you'd like it removed?"

Star looked up from her throne, the hourglasses on her cheeks being replaced by her hearts.

She gave the wallpaper one look. It reminded her quickly of that kid in the hoodie. Marco...

"Nevermind. I like it. Go take your break, Buff Frog," Star said.

He nodded and walked off.

Star leaned on her plush armrest and gave a sigh, looking at the wallpaper.

I like it.

/\/\

After I met and "fought" that Marco kid, I always look to that wallpaper and think of him. Sounds crazy, right? Today we're going to attack again. For some reason I can't wait to see him.

I think I'm... lovestruck.
