The Untold Story of Serena Butterfly
Chapter 66: Princess Turdina
A carriage was being pulled by invisible goat traveling to St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses.
Inside the carriage, Pony Head was putting makeup on Marco, who was dressed up as Princess Turdina.
"Is this really necessary?"Kevin whispered.
"Apparently the princesses here think Marco is a princess so yeah."Serena responded simply.
"Okay, you need to hold still."Pony Head instructed. "One more second. It needs to be perfect. Mm. Mm. Mm-hmm!"
Marco, dressed as 'Princess Marco Turdina', was shown wearing a lot of eyeliner, blush, and lipstick.
"How do I look?"Marco asked.
"Super pretty!"Pony Head remarked while holding a mirror up to Marco's face.
"Oh, no."Marco gasped and covered his face.
"What's the matter?"Star asked. "You don't like it?"
Marco smeared makeup on his face.
"No, I...I know I look amazing. It's just...Ugh!"Marco groaned. "I can't go back to St. Olga's like this! I gotta come clean!"
Pony Head spits the mirror our of her teeth.
"Mm-mm!"Pony Head disagreed. "If you tell those girls that you have been lying about being a princess, they will destroy you."
"I still can't believe they want to give me an honorary degree."Marco said and holds out an invitation to St. Olga's. The word 'Wayward' was crossed out and replaced with 'Doing Just Fine'. "Ugh. I know I inspired a generation and all, but I can't keep lying!"
"Whatever."Pony Head stated. "It's your funeral."
The carriage suddenly stopped and Marco was thrown out of his seat.
"Hey, goat! Just because you're invisible doesn't mean I can't hurt you! Oh. We're here. Mm."Pony Head commented and leaves the carriage. "Come on, ladies and gentleman."
Star and Serena and Kevin followed Pony Head out of the carriage.
Marco tried to get out, but his dress couldn't fit through the carriage entrance.
"You're having a princess problem?"Star asked with a smirk.
Marco sighed. "Yeah, I'm having a princess problem."
"Okay, stand up straight."Star instructed.
Marco stood up straight.
"Arms forward."Star said.
Marco held his arms out in front of him.
"And exhale."Star responded.
"Exhaaaaale."Marco repeated softly.
Star easily pulled Marco through the carriage door.
"Oh! Well, you've obviously done this before."Marco remarked.
Dance music played at St. Olga's School and princesses were heard cheering.
"Okay, I can't do this."Marco panicked and runs back toward the carriage.
A spotlight shines down on Marco.
"Princess Turdina, where you going?"
The princesses cheered for Marco.
"Sign my poster!"Fish Princess begged holding a 'Princess Marco' poster.
"Sign my cat!"Minotaur Princess giggled holding a grey cat.
"Sign my face!"Cactus Princess remarked.
Princess Arms shoved through the crowd.
"Okay, people, don't crowd her!"Princess Arms ordered and looked at Marco. "Princess Turdina! It is truly an honour."
"Oh, please, you don't have to—"Marco started.
"We can't wait to show you what we've done with this place."Princess Arms stated and grabbed Marco's hand.
"Whoa!"Marco responded.
"Welcome to Utopia!"Princess Arms admitted and opened the doors.
Star, Marco, Pony Head, Serena and Kevin gasped.
Inside princesses were partying and playing games around the main school lobby.
One princess was holding a boombox.
Two other princesses were playing foosball.
Three other princesses ride a large wolf monster through the room.
A prince lied sleeping on a pile of trash with a slice of pizza on his head.
"Where am I?"the prince asked.
"Oh, it's so beautiful!"Pony Head cried, tearing up.
"Wow, this is, uh..."Marco said and opened a book on tea party etiquette and finds a slice of pizza. "...really something."
"Oh, we got rid of all those oppressive classes about manners and please and thank you and all that other trash."Princess Arms stated. "We have our own curriculum now!"
Princess Arms pointed to a class schedule painted on the wall.
It reads 11am—7pm: Brunch and 7pm—11am: Party.
"Brunch and party."Marco read. "When do you sleep?"
"Oh-ho-ho, don't worry about it!"Princess Arms assured with a smile.
"You know, sometimes structure isn't a bad thing."Marco admitted.
This caused the dance music to stop.
"What?"Princess Arms asked.
"I just think that rules have a place—"Marco started.
"Yeah, but you told us to never conform!"Princess Arms reminded. "If you weren't being honest about who you are, then this whole school would be built on a lie!"
"Uh, what I meant to say was rules have a place...in the garbage!"Marco laughed. "Ha-ha!"
"Oh, ha-ha! Oh!"Princess Arms chuckled proudly. "Oh, good one. That was...Oh, you had me."
At the School Dining Hall...
Princess Arms brought Marco, Star, Pony Head, Kevin and Serena where several princesses were talking to each other.
One princess was sleeping on a stack of pancakes.
"Here's some princesses hard at work on their brunch final."Princess Arms explained. "We don't believe in grades. No, we don't. Just pancakes."
"I love learning!"Troll Princess remarked and noisily ate her pancakes.
In the School Gardens...
Princesses were gossiping to each other.
"These are the whispering gardens, our designated gossip area, because a princess's voice shall not be silenced!"Princess Arms stated. "Oh, my gosh, did you hear that Beatrice and Alfred broke up again?"
"Oh, no way!"Pony Head said in disbelief.
In a Empty School Courtyard...
A DJ was seen behind turntables.
"And this is where we have our party class to celebrate our freedom from the reign of Miss Heinous!"Princess Arms admitted.
The group notice a deflating balloon blowing through.
"I see what you're seeing."Princess Arms responded. "It's cooler at night."
In the School Interior...
Princess Arms opened a pair of doors.
"This...is the Hallway of Turdina!"Princess Arms announced.
The hallway was filled with portraits, posters and other memorabilia of Princess Marco.
"Whoa."Marco said in astonishment.
"This is the very first Turdina poster we hung up."Princess Arms complemented. "All of your T-shirts, and all of your dolls, and a lock of your hair and a poster of your movie!"
"Oh, I gotta get a DVD of that!"Star remarked.
"Really?"Serena questioned in disbelief.
"This is too much!"Marco admitted.
"Are you kidding? We owe this whole school to you."Princess Rams commented. "You showed us that all princesses don't have to fit into the same mould."
A chicken princess squawked in agreement.
"Pfft."Marco scoffed. "No, I didn't."
"And we're gonna show you our appreciation by throwing you the biggest party this school's ever seen!"Princess Arms remarked.
"A party?"Marco asked with a smile. "For me?"
"Oh boy."Kevin muttered under his breath.
"Uh, Marco, isn't there something you wanted to tell these girls?"Star asked.
"Oh! Yeah, um..."Marco said in realisation and cleared his throat. "It's not criminal to be an individual!"
The princesses cheered for Marco.
"She said her catchphrase!"Princess Rams giggled.
"Looks like he didn't get what you meant."Serena said.
"I know."Star answered in disappointment.
"Aw, you are way much more fun as Turdina!"Pony Head chuckled.
"Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!"Lizard Princess shouted excitedly. "It's here! It's here!"
"What's here?"Marco asked.
Lizard Princess pulled Marco to front of the school.
"Check it out!"Lizard Princess said. "Isn't it amazing?"
"Whoa."Marco replied in awe.
A large statue of Princess Turdina is seen in front of the school.
"In honor of the one princess who changed our lives, we dedicate this to you!"Princess Rams stated.
Marco blushed. "I'm so beautiful..."
"I hope you do like it, Princess Turdina!"Minotaur Princess answered. "It took all year to save up enough to get it made!"
"We cleaned toilets on weekends for extra cash!"Two-Headed Princess added.
"But it was worth it because you showed us that there's another way to live."Princess Arms said.
The princess cheered at Marco.
"Hey, hey!"Princess Smooshy called out. "It's time for a group selfie in front of the statue."
"Oh okay, sure."Marco responded and smiled for the camera.
"Camera phone! Mm!"Princess Smooshy hummed and snapped the picture with her phone.
"Are you...enjoying this?"Star asked.
"Hey, this is the first time he's ever been popular!"Pony Head reminded. "Don't ruin it for him."
"But he is pretending to be something that he is not."Serena complemented.
"Rena's right, he should tell the truth like a decent human being."Star agreed and goes up to Marco. "Hey, Turdina, can we talk to you for a sec?"
"Sure."Marco replied and looked at the princesses. "Uh, bye, ladies!"
Star pulled Marco aside.
"Marco, I think you're running out of time to tell the truth."Star suggested.
"Don't even listen to her, Turdina!"Pony Head argued. "These princesses worship you!"
"Yeah, but they worship someone who doesn't exist."Star said. "Marco is the most organized, rule-abiding person I know."
"And he definitely doesn't like when things are messy."Serena added.
"Think of the party!"Pony Head snapped.
"Yeah, they spent all that money for the statue."Marco agreed. "I can't crush their spirits."
"I'm just worried you might be letting this attention get to your head."Star admitted.
"What? That's not it!"Marco replied. "This is for them, not for me!"
"Dude, seriously."Kevin said. "Are you going to wear a dress every time your here?"
"Princess Turdina, come on!"Princess Arms called out. "It's time for your ceremony!"
Several princesses prepared a palanquin for Marco to ride to the ceremony.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm going with Pony's advice."Marco admitted and walked away.
"Whoo!"Pony Head chuckled. "Good choice."
Star had a worried expression while Serena and Kevin frowned in disapproval.
Marco gets on the palanquin and clapped his hands.
The princesses carried Marco to the ceremony.
At the Ceremony Stage...
Princess Gwendolyn does an interpretative dance.
"Oppression! Eternal darkness!"Princess Gwendolyn stated. "Suddenly, light! Freedom! Turdina!"
Princess Gwendolyn released doves into the air.
The princesses looked at Princess Gwendolyn with confused looks.
"Thank you, Princess Gwendolyn, for that beautiful interpretive dance."Princess Arms said. "And now, the moment you've all been waiting for. The woman herself, Princess Marco Turdina!"
Marco appeared from behind the curtains and the princesses cheered for him.
"I present you this honorary St. Olga's degree."Princess Arms remarked.
"Wow!"Marco remarked.
Marco's degree reads St. Olga's Degree (Cool!) and was decorated with various stickers.
"Turdina! Turdina!"the Princesses chanted. "Turdina! Turdina!"
"Dearest princesses, congratulations on this wonderful school. I know you see me as an idol, but today you're my idols!"Marco announced. "You embody everything that Princess Turdina...uh, um, that I stand for –not letting anyone force you to be something you're not, living by your true colors, loving who you are!"
The princesses cheered at Marco.
"I'm proud to have inspired you to be brave, even when it's scary."Marco said. "And when being true to yourself might mean disappointing...thousands of people."
Marco notice Star, Serena and Kevin.
"That's...That's why I have to tell you the truth."Marco admitted. "I'm..."
Just as Marco says boy, his words were drowned out by the sound of a chainsaw.
A dimensional portal opened and Miss Heinous' car comes out, with Rasticore's torso tied to the front.
"Oh, no."Star mumbled.
"They had to come now."Serena scowled with a glare.
Gemini comes out of the car to walk around to the other side and opened the driver side door.
Miss Heinous stepped out of the car causing the princesses to gasp and scream in horror.
"Who's that?"Kevin asked.
"It's Miss Heinous!"Mouse Princess answered in fear.
"Princess Turdina is a fraud and I have the evidence to prove it!"Miss Heinous announced and held a cassette tape labeled 'Princess Turdina's Confession'.
This caused the princesses to mutter at each other.
"It's a tape..."
"It's a tape of what?"
"That's right, I watched your video and saw your dark secret!"Miss Heinous admitted.
"Oh, that phony confession I did?"Marco asked with a smirk. "Go ahead, show 'em! It's not real!"
"Oh, no, it's not...but this is!"Miss Heinous replied smugly.
Miss Heinous pulled down on Marco's dress collar and revealed his single chest hair causing the princesses to gasp and whisper.
"Wait! Is that a hair?"
"Turdina isn't a princess!"Miss Heinous stated with a smirk. "She's a boy!"
The princesses gasped at Heinous revelation.
"How'd you know about Rodrigo?!"Marco asked in shock.
"Whatever! That doesn't prove anything!"A human princess shouted. "Princesses can be hairy!"
"Yeah!"Hairy Princess agreed. "We believe in you, Turdina!"
"No, I lied to you."Marco responded and takes off his dress. "I...am a boy."
The princesses gasped in shock while Star, Serena and Kevin gave small smiles at their friend.
"Ooh!"Princess Jaggs cooed and blushed. "Oops! I mean, ugh!"
"This, princesses, is why you need me running St. Olga's."Miss Heinous replied. "Look where all this freedom got you – living in filth and championing a hero who's been lying to you all along. Henceforth, you must reinstate me as your schoolmaster! You need me...and I need you."
"Wait, what did she just say?"Star asked in confusion.
"I think she just said that she need us."Serena responded with a unsure look.
"Wait, no. Why does it matter if he's a boy?"Princess Arms questioned. "Nothing he said was wrong!"
"Yeah!"Minotaur Princess agreed. "He can think for himself and so can we!"
"He can be a princess if he wants to!"Princess Ram agreed. "Princess Arms Turdina's a state of mind!"
The princesses shouted in agreement.
"Silence!"Miss Heinous hissed. "Silence!"
Miss Heinous gets hit in the face with a water balloon.
"Ooooh!"Star chuckled. "I just got her right in the face!"
"Good move, Star."Kevin remarked.
"Let's kick Heinous out of here!"Serena encouraged.
"Come on, girls!"Pony Head neighed excitedly.
The princesses charged and rush toward the stage.
"Free will!"Princess Ram shouted.
"No!"Miss Heinous protested and runs away. "No!"
Gemini fends off the princesses with Rasticore's torso tied to his back.
"Spare me!"Gemini begged.
"Get in the car!"Miss Heinous ordered.
Miss Heinous and Gemini get in the car as the princesses rushed up to it.
"Turdina lives!"
Miss Heinous backs the car up and it flew away into a dimensional portal.
The princesses cheered at their victory.
A robot DJ started playing club music and the princesses start dancing.
"Well, looks like Turdina's gone for good."Marco remarked in relief.
"Yeah!"Pony Head cried. "Because you took her away from us, you selfish monster!"
"At least her grand legend lives on."Kevin commented.
"You look like you can breathe a lot easier now."Star complemented.
"Mostly 'cause I'm out of that dress!"Marco stated. "That corset was killin' me!"
"You should see the tight dress I wore on my tenth birthday."Serena joked. "It made me walk around like a stick man."
Mouse Princess walked up to Marco.
"Could we get a selfie with Marco Turdina, Boy Princess?"Mouse Princess asked.
"Sure."Marco replied.
Star, Marco, Pony Head, Kevin, Serena, Mouse Princess and Minotaur Princess pose for a selfie with Mouse Princess's phone.
"Camera phone!"the group said in unison.
Mouse Princess took the picture with her phone.
"I don't know about you guys, but I am kind of hungry."Star admitted.
"How about we head over my place?"Kevin suggested. "We got cookies too."
"Yeah."Marco agreed.
"Sounds good."Serena commented.
"I love cookies!"Pony Head chuckled.
The four young teenagers and Pony Head went away.
"Oh, Smooshy's gonna be so jealous of this one!"Mouse Princess chuckled.
"Where is Smooshy, anyways?"Minotaur Princess asked.
In Another Dimension...
Miss Heinous, Gemini and Rasticore used a machine to transfer youth energy from Princess Smooshy to Miss Heinous.
Because of the energy transferred, Smooshy looked emaciated.
When the transfer was complete, Smooshy collapsed on the ground.
Miss Heinous pulled the transfer device off her head and looked younger with glowing green clover cheek marks.
"Ahhh! Oh, yeah, that's good!"Miss Heinous remarked. "Gemini, we gotta get more of this stuff."
"Oh, yes, but I'm afraid this one is out of juice, milady."Gemini replied.
"Camera phone..."Princess Smooshy said weakly.
"I know that, you fool!"Miss Heinous snapped. "I'm not talking about her!"
"Well, I'm happy to share some of mine with you."Gemini admitted.
"No! I want the good stuff."Miss Heinous stated. "I'm coming for you, Princess Marco Turdina!"
"I don't mean to interrupt, milady, but we say this all the time."Gemini reminded. "I'm coming for you. Maybe we should just stay in tonight and you can have a little Gemini fuel?"
"No. Nobody asked you."Miss Heinous answered rudely. "Go get the car!"
"U-uh...of course, milady."Gemini responded and walked away.
