Last Time On Dimension Hoppers...
"Anyanwu. I know it's you. You're not slick when it comes to me," Wingu said. Anya showed herself. "Where's your sister? You're always with her," Wingu asked. "I killed her," Anya answered. Wingu shook his head in amusement. "Your nonexistent patience is really something else. Why are you here?" Wingu asked.
"My master told my sister and I to watch over Jackson and to report every suspicious thing he does," Anya answered. "So are you going to report to your master that my master has made a deal with Jackson?" Wingu asked. Anya nodded.
"I understand. I wish this sibling feud would end," Wingu said. "I do too. When my Master finds out what your master has done, there will be no sign of an ending," Anya said. "I won't tell my master I found you if you don't tell your master about the deal," Wingu said. "Deal," Anya said. They both shared a kiss.
"Wingu," they heard Anga call out. "I have to go," Wingu said, breaking the kiss. Anya nodded. She transported herself to New York City. Once she arrived, she arrived at a club where Pando was. He happened to be sitting with Zetwal in the VIP area.
"Hahahahaha! Homie, how many girls!?" Pando asked. "20 this year so far!" Zetwal cried. Both of the gods laughed out as they drank and girls danced around them. Zetwal, then noticed Anya appear from the corner of his eyes and stand with the bodyguards. "Damn. You making your Ikenga do so much. Spy on a human boy that you don't like. Get people to join Panda. Cause trouble with Panda. Help a human out with her prom planning. What was her name again? Brittney? Y'all are partners, right?" Zetwal asked. Pando nodded. "World domination is lots of work."
"Ok. I personally like Earth. They have no idea that the Double U exists and I'm jealous about that. They only know that they the only beings that the only beings that exist in the universe and I like that. Whenever my old man punishes me by sending me to Earth under the identity of Jaquan Marley, it ain't no punishment for me. Look, I even managed to build my own rap career as the rapper Starboy. I get that you like this place but why take it over? You'll soon get Woolandia," Zetwal explained.
"It sounded like fun," Pando answered. "Bro. I'm the closest being to you. There's something else," Zetwal said. "Aight. It started the night after the last game of the season. That human named Jackson came up to me and offered me this contract saying shit like how they know the Star Compass," Pando started. "And you didn't sign it," Zetwal said. "Of course! I ain't about to sell my soul. Anyway, the boss man was Erik Baasc," Pando said. Zetwal blinked. "Ain't he that human who's trying to be Mayor of Los Angeles?" Zetwal asked. Pando nodded.
"I remember thinking 'that ain't normal'. Then that smart ass human told me they finna kill Star. I don't like that half god but I wanna kill him myself. So I let them go and started having the Ikenga trail him when they can," Pando continued. "What have they discovered?" Zetwal asked, taking a sip of his vodka. "They say he ain't done big shit yet. He's been getting closer to Macaria, the human that the half god is close to. We think he gon try to get Macaria on his side," Pando said. "Ohhhhh. But then how does Immortal tie into all this?" Zetwal asked.
"I started infiltrating Immortal after I arrived on Earth and fought the half god. I wanted to manipulate them and get them to do the shit I want. I always got everything to work out for me. Recently, I overheard that their leader is Ludo. Ludo is the name of the monster that lead the attack on Mewni last year," Pando said. Zetwal blinked. "I heard he went missing after the attack." "Turns out he's the leader of Immortal. I had just swindled the gang I was with out of their drug money so I decided to act out," Pando said.
"So then how does this Erik Baasc and Ludo thing tie together?" Zetwal asked. "In politics, you gotta be shady and shit. Issa gamble but I'm hella good at gambling. I gotta hunch that Erik Baasc got Ludo to start Immortal so it can help him win the election. If people see that the human can defeat a group as dangerous as that, it'll look good. Besides, no human can know about all this Double U shit. Erik Baasc might actually know where the Star Compass is so if I take down his top dog he might tell me. Then ima kill the human. As for Ludo, turns out he got the Zodiacs to look for the Maßöffner for him, according to Star's homeboy Leo. I'll hand Ludo over to Star and he can get his Zodiac buddies, the shards, punish Ludo, and return to Mewni," Pando explained.
"Damn. You're fureal doing all the work," Zetwal commented. "Ima god. People always be begging their god to fix all their prolems for them," Pando replied with a shrug. "I'll join Panda and help you out. Lemme know if you want me to do shit, " Zetwal said. "Aight," Pando agreed.
Act 6: no broken hearts.
Macaria couldn't sleep.
Earlier, she had gone to the Dog House and told her uncle to stop looking for Sensei Brantley. Of course her uncle and the dogs wanted to know why so sudden but she wouldn't tell them. They respected her silence. It's been about 3 hours since she came home and she was currently staring up at the ceiling. Millions of thoughts went through her head.
Although she was feeling many emotions, she was mainly pissed off at Star. How could he do this? She understands that they have to keep their distance but he won't even help her with something as big as this? Wasn't she the one who helped Star back in Nixi? If it wasn't for her, they wouldn't have gotten the Snezhinka. Why can't he help her this time? It was her turn, was it not?
She was still awake when the sun came up. After all that thinking, she decided she'll talk to Jackson about it. He's involved in this now. It's both of their nudes that's on the line. She had texted him to see if they could meet but he had work so she decided to tell him at school. As the weekend passed, she found herself growing more and more nervous and pissed off. She shook them off once Monday came around.
"What happened?" Jackson asked her as soon as he arrived at the classroom. Macaria started looking for ways to put it into words. "You ok?" Jackson asked, reaching out for her hands. "Remember last summer?" Macaria started. "Last summer?" Jackson asked. Before Macaria could continue, Brittney came up to her. Jackson quickly let go of Macaria's hand.
"You were late this morning. That's not normal. Did something come up?" Macaria asked. "I'm having a big crisis!" Brittney answered. "What happened?" Macaria asked. "I'm still single," Brittney answered. "Ok...and?" Macaria said. "I'm single! Usually around this time I'd have a boyfriend! But for some reason this year I still don't have a boyfriend! Nobody's asked me out yet and the worthy candidates are getting taken left and right! Soon on Valentine's Day, I'll be s-s-s...I can't even say it out loud anymore!" Brittney explained before putting her head on the desk.
"We'll talk later," Macaria mouthed to Jackson as she pat Brittney's head. A part of her was glad that she didn't have to talk to Jackson about Sensei Brantley's threat but another part of her knew that she can't keep on putting this off. She wished her life was as simple as Brittney's. All she had to worry about was being single.
Suddenly, Brittney sat up. "Wait, Cari. You've never had a boyfriend before!" Macaria never told Brittney that she was fake dating Jackson. Currently, however, she was single as well. "Don't worry! This week, I'll hook us up!" Brittney cried. "No, it's fine. I like spending Valentine's Day alone," Macaria said before mentally adding, cuddling with Jackson alone.
"Gurl, don't give me that 'ima wait till college to date' shit!" Brittney cried. "That's the plan," Macaria said. "Don't make me flip this desk over!" Brittney cried. Macaria sat back in surprise. "Sorry...!?" "Cari. Make a list of the guys you think are cute and your type and shit and give it to me. I'll find some guys for you," Brittney said. "I don't have anybody in mind," Macaria said with a shrug. "What about Star? I totally saw you guys kiss at my birthday party," Brittney asked.
"You did!? How come you didn't say anything!?" Macaria asked. How many people know about the kiss anyway? "You guys were looking lovingly into each other's eyes, and you guys hugged and shit. You guys looked so cute! Now I noticed you guys ain't talking anymore. Are you flustered about the kiss?" Brittney asked. "Forget about it! It's in the past. Besides, to him, kissing is like a greeting to him or something most likely so it meant nothing. And you and Pando have your partnership, right? Between Star and I, I just help him navigate on Earth and we do our own thing," Macaria answered.
"Is that so? Ok! I'll hook you up with someone!" Brittney cried. "No. I'm good," Macaria said. "Gurrrrrlll! Say thank you! I'm like a god fulfilling your secret wishes!" Brittney cried. Macaria sighed. Once Brittney has made up her mind, there was no way you could get her to change her mind.
The next day, Macaria was approached by her fan club. Uggggg I don't feel like dealing with nobodies today! "Are you single, my queen?" President Ferguson asked. "Stupid! Of course she is! As a president of the Queen Macaria Diaz Our Eternal Goddess Fan Club, or QMDOEGFC for short, you should know this! She's looking for a handsome prince to sweep her off her feet!" President Alfonzo cried.
Macaria started to slowly back up. "I'm sorry, I have to get to class so if you guys mey excu-" "Wait! Fergie! Are you tryinh to ask her out!?" Alfonzo asked. "Me!? Why would I go against the treaty Zozo?" Ferguson nervously asked, visibly sweating. "You were! Attack! Dethrone him! He doesn't deserve the title of a president!" Alfonzo ordered the other fan club members.
"Wait! Don't think that I don't know you have been secretly sending her letters!" Ferguson countered. Now it was Alfonzo's turn to nervously sweat. "N-N-No! With what evidence!?" "I have my ways! Ima hacker!" Ferguson cried. The members of the fan club turned to Alfonzo. "At least I didn't ask her out like your other president just did! Right in front of us too!" Alfonzo cried. The members then turned to Ferguson. Macaria used this whole situation as a way to escape.
The next day, Macaria opened her locker and a bunch of letters spilled out. Macaria blinked. "Oh! Looks like people are sending letters to you!" Brittney cried. "You have a lighter?" Macaria asked. "No. Why?" Brittney asked. "Ima burn these," Macaria said. "No! Don't burn them! Your special somebody might have sent a letter! Don't worry! I'll figure out who sent these!" Brittney cried.
As promised, Brittney figured out who were the secret admirers. The next morning, Brittney texted Macaria to go to the gym. When Macaria arrived, there were 14 guys lined up holding a paper. Brittney was enthusiastically holding a rose. "Ok. These are the 14 guys who put hundreds of love letters in your locker. They wrote down stuff about themselves. Who will you give the rose to?" Brittney asked, handing the rose to Macaria.
One by one, Macaria listened to the guys. Once they were done, Macaria had already made up her mind. She carefully set the rose onto the ground and walked out of the gym. Brittney picked up the rose. "Sorry boys! You guys just ain't her type!"
The next day was a Friday. Macaria was exhausted. When she entered the school, she noticed everyone had made a path for her. The fuck is going on? She wondered. Suddenly, the marching band walked down the hallway and when they got to Macaria they circled around her. Soon cheerleaders and football players ran down the hallway and circled around her. The football players held up a poster.
WILL YOU GO TO PROM WITH ME?
The cheerleaders started doing a cheer. "Gimme a J! Gimme a U! Gimme an S! Gimme a T! Gimme an I! Gimme an N! What's that spell!?"
"JUSTIN!" Someone yelled. Everyone parted ways and Justin Armberg appeared. "Macaria Diaz! Go out with me?" Justin asked. Macaria was completely unimpressed. "No." She walked away.
Macaria and Brittney stayed after school to work on a project. After the whole event that happened this morning, Macaria was in a bad mood for the rest of the day. She was still in a bad mood after school.
"I don't see why you didn't like Justin's whole confession thingy. Ohhhh I wish some guy would do that for me! That sounds so romantic! My answer would be a yes obviously!" Brittney cried. "We're different," Macaria said. "True. You like the simpler, thoughtful things. I don't know why but you just do. Me, I like the big, all out things. Thats how I know someone actually cares about me if they put so much time and effort in it," Brittney said.
"During all this, you manage to find a guy yet?" Macaria asked. "Ugggg no! I made an announcement saying that everyone should try to confess to you and I was so busy trying to help out and organize it that I forgot about me!" Brittney cried. Macaria narrowed her eyes at her friend. "So wait, everything that happened this week was because of you!?" Brittney quickly put her hands up. "Uh...your welcome...?"
Macaria managed to stop herself from strangling Brittney. "Brittney, I'm thankful for you trying to hook me up, but I've already told you that I'm fine. You should hurry up and find yourself a guy. Valentine's Day is in a week." "Ahhhhhhhhh! I have a week lefttttttttt! Noooooooo! How will I find the perfect guy nowwwwwwww!?" Brittney cried.
"I see you two students of mine have been having trouble with love, am I right?" Their psychology teacher, Ms. Park, asked as she entered the class. "Sorry for borrowing your class after school hours," Macaria said. "I don't mind. In fact, I can help you two out," Ms. Park said. Macaria and Brittney blinked. "In Yokaia, there're these red strings that connects you to the one you're destined to be with. I can take you two there," Ms. Park said. "Yokaia? Wait...are you an alien...?" Macaria asked. Ms. Park smirked.
"I'm the Warbeast of Fire Queen Hoshimiya Gumiho Long Wang of Yokaia."
Macaria and Brittney were still in shock as Hoshimiya pulled out a pair Dimensional Scissors, opened a portal, and pushed the two in. They found themselves in a magnificent Chinese like palace. Hoshimiya, who was no longer in her human form, sat down on her throne.
"This is happening way too fast! Why were you on Earth first of all?" Macaria asked. "I've been on Earth for a while now. I was supposed to go to another place but I thought of Earth and ended up on Earth instead of my intended destination. Then I was given a teaching job. I thought it was dumb but then I became interested in the mindset of Earthlings so I stayed. Does that answer your question, Miss Diaz?" Hoshimiya explained. "No offense, Ms. Park...I mean Queen Hoshimiya, but this is really awkward for us," Brittney said.
Hoshimiya laughed out. "I can see why! I couldn't help but overhear you two's struggles. As your teacher, I want to help out as best as I can. I know you two know about us aliens so I thought this would be fine. I'll take you both to one of my favorite places in Yokaia, the Yue Lao Garden!" Macaria and Brittney blinked.
They soon found themselves sitting in a carriage with Hoshimiya held by guards instead of horses. "Wow...I've never been to another dimension before! Yokaia is so beautiful! Reminds me of China. I'm Chinese by the way," Brittney said, looking out the window. Macaria, meanwhile, was still in a bad mood and was confused as to what was going on. She still felt like things were moving way too fast. "I don't know what to call you and all, but we're only in high school. We shouldn't be thinking about soulmates right now," Macaria said.
"I know you both are in high school. I'm your high school psychology teacher! You guys are at that age where everything is changing. In 3 months, you guys will graduate and head on different paths. You guys will be forced to mature and learn just how cruel everything is. I was forced to mature at a young age. My father was a dragon named Long. He was king and everyone loved him. He was a warm but stern leader. He was to marry this pheonix named Bulsajo. Then my mother came into the picture.
"My mother was a nine tailed fox named Gumiho. Nine tailed foxes even to this day don't really get a good rep. They're all women first of all and they are seductresses. They seduce men and kill them in order to produce offspring. My mother's mother ordered her to seduce my father so there could be some royal blood in the family. They wanted to royal blood so they can use it as an excuse to take over Yokaia. My mother successfully seduced my father but my father let himself get seduced. They both fell in love and had me. When it was time for my mother to kill my father, she couldn't so her mother did it for her.
"As for me, I was different. If it were a normal case, I would have just been a full nine tailed fox but for some reason I was half nime tailed fox and half dragon. My mother knew I wouldn't be accepted so she went into hiding. Eventually, Bulsajo discovered my mother and I when I was only 10. She killed my mother and I was crowned queen. I had to hide all of my nine tailed fox traits and the only being who knows I'm the daughter of King Long and Gumiho is Bulsajo. Now I have to marry her son. I haven't met him yet but the wedding is coming soon. I've always dreamed that I could have normal teenager problems and dream about finding love and stuff. I'm 18 after all. When I overheard you and Brittney, I felt bad so I decided to bring you guys here and let you two enjoy your teenage years before responsibility comes in," Hoshimiya explained.
The carriage then stopped. "Oh! We're here!" Hoshimiya cried. She and Brittney hopped out of the carriage. Macaria, meanwhile, thought about all that Hoshimiya had just told her. I guess it's fine to let loose every now and then. When she hopped out of the carriage, she was introduced to a forest of leafeless trees that had red threat tangled on the branches.
There were little children playing around and they dragged Macaria and Brittney to play with them. As they did, they made friendship bracelets with the children out of the red thread they managed to get from some of the branches. "Now we're tied together by fate!" A kid cried. They all laughed together.
Hoshimiya watched with a smile. Her most loyal guard, a pheonix named Byeol, walked up to her. "Your fiancé will definitely fall in love with this kind side of yours," he said. "I know but in Yokaia, I can't afford to show off my kind side. How many Earthly months do I have until the wedding?" Hoshimya asked. "2 months," Byeol answered. "I see," Hoshimiya replied, looking at the red thread.
For the rest of the day and weekend, Macaria was in a good mood.
On Monday morning, Brittney had an announcement. "Hey everyone! I'm Brittney Wong, daughter of Dong Hua Wong, the current CEO of Wong Cosmetics! This Valentine's Day the newest collection will be released! I'll be the spokesperson at the release party that's being held in Downtown Los Angeles! You all should come! Here are some free Wong Cosmetics stuff!" Brittney announced, standing on top of a statue. Some students were handing out beauty products.
"She seems happy," Star commented, watching the event from the sidelines with Jan, Leo, and Pando. "Just a week ago she was complaining about being single," Pando added. "Humans are interesting creatures," Leo remarked. The Starboys agreed with the Zodiac.
"Yo. Valentine's Day is coming. It's this Friday. "Y'all asked out you're boo tings yet?" Jan asked. "Wha? Valentino?" Pando asked in confusion. "The magical, mystical day of love! If you got feelings for somebody, you ask them 'will you be my Valentine?' and you need to have chocolate, flowers, or a stuff bear," Jan answered.
"Ohhhhh I see. You guys got any Valentines?" Star asked. "Fuck buddies, yeah. Valentines, no," Leo answered. "Nope. Don't got anyone in mind. That day sounds like shit. Ima celebrate Anti-Valentine's Day," Pando answered. "I wanna ask out Macaria," Jan answered.
"Still?" Star asked. "Yeah! Diosa and I are meant to be!" Jan cried. "Hands off!" Star cried. The guys stopped talking and looked surprised. "Ohohohoho! Could it be you have feelings for her as well!?" Pando cried. "No! It's just that-" "Stop being in denial! I saw y'all kiss! You know on Earth that means something else other than a greeting, right?" Pando interrupted.
"What about you and Brittney? Y'all two are suspiciously close," Star asked. "We're partners, aight? Besides, I have my beautiful bad bitch Magani waiting for me back in Woolandia," Pando answered. Suddenly the two Starboys started arguing about something dumb.
"Janna. I think you should ask Marco to be your Valentine," Leo told Jan. "Really?" Jan asked. "Yeah!" Leo answered. "Kk! I'll ask her out!" Jan cried. Star got up and ran off while Pando chased him, yelling death threats. "They're at it again. Were they always like this?" Jan asked. "Oh yeah. Definitely. Except it was worse. Pando would be throwing daggers at Star by now," Leo answered.
On the night before Valentine's Day, Star and Leo were about to go Maßöffner hunting when they heard 80s music from outside. Curious, they opened the window to pinpoint where the music was coming from.
Then they bursted out laughter.
There was Jan simply standing in front of Macaria's window and was holding a gigantic, silver boombox.
"Diosa! Come out! I have been chasing your heart for years now! You ain't dating Jackie Lynn Thomas no more! Be my Valentine! Who am I if I'm not your guy!? Where am I if we're not together!?" Jan cried. Star was recording the moment while Leo was practically dead.
Next door to Star, Macaria opened her window and threw a bunch of crumbled up paper at Jan. "These balls of paper are trash just like you! Get lost, you piece of shit!" She yelled before flicking off and closing her window. Star stopped recording. He didn't know why he was happy that Macaria had just harshly turned down his best friend.
"Don't worry! I'll wait for a sign!" Jan yelled back, turning off the boombox. He picked up his skateboard and walked away with his head hanging low. He didn't really have a place in mind of where to go so he just walked all over the place. When he found himself at the skate park, there was Jackson. "Ug, it's you," Jackson said with an eye role. "Hey man, ima cry. Is it ok if I cry here?" Jan asked. "Real men don't cry though," Jackson said, going back to skating on the course.
Still, Jan ended up crying anyway.
Jackson, who was feeling awkward, stopped skating and walked over to Jan. By the time he was there, Jan had tears and snot all over his face. Ewwww disgusting! Jackson said as he awkwardly patted the shorter guy's head. "There...there..."
On Valentine's Day, both Star and Macaria were in bad moods.
Star didn't catch a single Maßöffner at all last night.
Macaria had to deal with Jan spamming her all night.
Angie and Leo were the unfortunate victims to Star and Macaria's bad moods. Many times, Macaria lost her temper and unleashed it at the two while Star got his so called revenge on the two for the little things they did. "What happened?" Angie asked. "Puberty," Leo simply answered, petting Jinx. "Ohhhhh..." Angie said.
Brittney wasn't at school today. So wasn't Pando and his Ikenga. The rest of the school, however, was still lively. Almost everyone was a couple and were expressing their love for each other. This worsened Star and Macaria's moods. Leo was the constant victim this time.
Once school was out, Star and Macaria bumped into each other. "Move," Macaria said. "You move, Star said. The both of them started arguing. Leo face palmed. "Guys, the punching bag is here. You guys don't have to pun..." He trailled off when he saw that they weren't standing where they were anymore.
When Star opened his eyes, he quickly closed them. "Nope! Nu uh! I saw them open, ya filthy Mewman!" A familiar voice cried. In defeat, Star opened his eyes. He noticed he was in a familiar looking throne room in a familar palace in a familiar kingdom. He looked up and saw the leader of his kidnappers. "Hi...Fuego...!"
Guardian of the Sun Prince Fuego Domingo Diablo Rey of the Cuzco Empire glared down at him. "So, my twin sister, the Guardian of the Moon Princess Estrella Lunes Angel Rey of the Cuzco Empire, has decided she wants to marry you," Fuego said with an eye role. Star sighed. "She does this every year." "To be honest. I have no idea what she sees in a good for nothing dickhead like you," Fuego agreed.
"If it never works out, why's she still trying?" Star asked, ignoring the last part. Fuego shrugged. "Not sure, but that's actually not the reason why you're here." Star blinked. "So we cool now? Yay! I knew we could be buddies!" Star cried. "No! I'm still pissed off that you took all of my money!" Fuego cried. "You're just bad at gambling, dude," Star said. "You stole all of my money before I even had a chance to gamble! Then you humiliated me in fromt of everyone! You deserve to die!" Fuego's hair caught on fire and he was about to lunge at Star when his guards held him back.
The double doors suddenly opened, revealing Estrella. That cuased Fuego to stop trying to fight. "Fuck it's my older sister! She won't let me kill you!" Fuego cried. "Starbaby!" Estrella cried, running over to Star. Star was about to run away when Fuego lightly touched his arm. "You run away you die," he threatened. Star got chills and allowed himself to be engulfed in Estrella's tight hug.
"So, if I'm not marrying you, why am I here?" Star asked Estrella as soon as they broke the hug. "Is it wrong for me to soend time with my fiancé?" Estrella asked, hugging Star's arm. "I can escape. Like I always do. Every year," Star answered. "You can...but this time we have something to make you stay here!" Estrella cried. "Hahahaha. Sure. You guys never find anything to make me stay so what makes you guys think y'all have something to make me stay this time?" Star asked.
"Bring in the human!" Fuego announced with a smirk. Star blinked. Human? Is it the human I'm thinking about? Estrella, Fuego, and Star watched as a human dressed in a beautiful dress with colorful flowers and professionally done makeup enter the throne room with guard holding her arm on each side. The human looked very confused. Once she caught Star's eyes, she glared at him. "Star! What did you do!?" That was when Star realized who the human was.
It was Macaria.
"Meet my future wife!" Fuego cried. Star blinked. Macaria blinked. Estrella clapped for her brother. "Were were going to kidnap you again but we couldn't find you anywhere so I went to visit my friend Zetwal who's currently on Earth for being a manhoe. He knows where everyone is. When I arrived, that was when I met this goddess! I realized I had to marry her! Then I saw you two live together. Now we're here!" Fuego explained. "Yay!" Estrella cried, clapping.
"I never concented to this first of all! Second of all, I'm only 18! The legal age to get married in the State of California is 18...actually never mind! I never concented to this!" Macaria cried. "Oh, diosa. If you don't marry me I'll burn Star Butterfly alive!" Fuego said. "Fuego! But I love Star!" Estrella protested.
Macaria and Star looked at each other. "Fine. Burn him alive all you want. He deserves it. Princess Estrella, if you marry him, he won't support you, or help you at all. He only cares about himself. You'll be in a loveless marriage," Macaria said, still staring at Star. Star felt guilty. Fuego whistled in interest. "Damnnnn! Not even the humans like you, Star!" "What do you mean I only care about myself!?" Star asked Macaria, ignoring what Fuego just said.
"Every being we run into seems to have some sort of problem with you because you selfishly do things to them. Like Pando! You stole the Star Compass and he was supposed to be executed on New Year's Eve! Never once have you tried to make things right unless it benefits you!"
"Like you can be talking! The only reason why you want to help me out so bad is so I can leave as quickly as possible because I'm messing up your life plan! Selfish human!"
"I have the right to be selfish and want everything to go back to normal for me! You messed up my life, the same as what you do with everyone else's lives!"
"And I'm trying to fix it by getting out of your life!"
"You actually think that simply leaving my life will fix everything!? I just got more problems! And you're getting me out of them!"
"I'm not helping you! Final! If you're scared of your nudes being released, ask Pretty Boy Jackie to deal with them! He's an Earthling too! Y'all are obviously close to each other to even think of doing something as intimate as that!"
"I fucking helped you in Nixi! If it wasn't for me, you'd be in a glacier by now!"
"How could you even put yourself in that type of situation!?"
"Oh, so you expect me to sit there and let myself get raped!? Suddenly it's the victim's fault!?"
"No, I'm not saying it's your fault!"
"That's exactly what you're saying!"
"Why do you even want me to help you anyway!? I didn't cause this! It ain't my fault you got put into that situation!"
"Because you promised me you'd protect me!"
"Can't you see I'm trying to protect you!?"
"How!?"
Star didn't have an answer. "Exactly. That's what I thought. In the end, it always has to be about you. Prince Fuego. Please burn him alive. He deserves it," Macaria said before storming out of the throne room. "Wait!" Estrella cried, running after Macaria. "Damn. You fucked up real bad..." Fuego told Star. "Yeah, I know," Star agreed.
Estrella quickly caught up to the fuming Macaria. "Hey! You wanna go dancing with me?" She asked. "Sorry. I'm not in the mood," Macaria answered. "But...but today's my birthday...!" Estrella said. Macaria sighed. "Fine." "Yay! My 18th birthday is gonna be special now! Estrella cried.
When they left the palace, Macaria was surprised to find that music was freely playing all around the Cuzco Empire. Genres such as salsa and reggeton were playing and the citizens were singing, dancing, or simply going on with their daily lives.
"Whenever I need a breather, I always go outside of the palace walls. That's where I hear the sounds of the Cuzco Empire. I really reeaallyy love music. If I wasn't next in lime to the throne, I'd definitely be a singer," Estrella said. Macaria looked over at a couple performing a soothing song to a small audience. The guy was playing the guitar while the girl was singing in a mic.
"Is it normal for you guys to just randomly set up an area on the street and perform?" Macaria asked. Estrella nodded. "We guardians are musical and artistic beings." Macaria noticed the couple was loosing their audience. "I think you should sing something," she said. "No...I'm waaayyyy too shy," Estrella said. "You'll be fine! I bet you have a beautiful voice as beautiful as Chakira!" Macaria cried, pushing Estrella to the performing couple.
The couple stopped playing and quickly bowed. "Your Majesty!" Estrella nervously looked at Macaria who gave her a thumbs up. "Um...may I sing something?" Estrella asked. The girl quickly bowed and handed her the mic. Estrella awkwardly cleared her throat before starting her song.
At first, Estrella sang with a low and shaky voice. Citizens who were walking by stopped to see their future empress sing. Eventually, Estrella couldn't continue. "I'm sorry!" She was about to run off in embarrassment when Macaria grabbed her arm. "Don't run away from your problems. Conquer them with everything you got," she said.
Estrella nodded and tried again. She closed her eyes and started singing her song. Once again, her voice was low an shaky. Macaria decided to help her out. She clapped along to the steady beat of Estrella's song. Estrella opened her eyes and saw Macaria. Then the other guardians joined in.
Estrella started to sing louder and with more confidence and her song quickly changed from a slow, gentle song to a fast and dramatic song sounding similar to the song La Llorona. The guy from the earlier couple started playing his guitar while Macaria and the girl from the earlier couple danced together. More citizens joimed the group and started dancing along with the song.
They often switched dance partners and clapped as Estrella sang her song with her strong voice. Eventually, Macaria got Estrella to dance along with her. Soon the street they were on got crowded and it turned into a huge dance party. Everyone made way for Estrella as she climbed to the top of a statue where she did her big finish.
Everyone clapped and cheered. "Wow! That was so much fun!" Estrella cried, completely surprised that she actually just did that. "I know, wasn't it? I told you everything will be alright!" Macaria cried, helping Estrella down. "I want you to be my sister! Marry Fuego already!" Estrella said. "I'm not thinking about marriage at the moment, but you should come to Earth and stay there for a while," Macaria said.
"That works out too! I don't wanna sound rude, but I was always told all sorts of bad things about humans ever since I was small. Turns out, you're nothing like how I've been told," Estrella said. "Those are just sterotypes. Just because one person or a group of people do rhis one thing, doesn't mean that everyone else is like that," Macaria said. "Yeah. I know that now. By the way, you should try to talk things out with Star. He's coming here right now," Estrella said. "What!? Ok, I'm leaving now. Bye!" Macaria cried, running off.
She kept on running until she found herself in a dandelion field. She blinked. "Where did this field come from?" Star caught up to her. She rolled her eyes and was about to start running until Star grabbed her arm.
"I'm...sorry. I for real thought I was doing the right thing. After the whole Venus catching the whole school on fire incident, that was when I realized for the first time in my life that I affect people with my problems. I want you to lean on me whenever you're in trouble and I meant it when I said I'll be your knight in shining armor but I realized that maybe it's best for us if we stay apart.
"I didn't mean to say all those hurtful things to you. Honest. When I said them, I thought they were necessary because I felt that I had to push you away and saying those things will push you away. After I said them, I started regretting them. Can we go back to before all this happened? Let's help each other out, just like we used to do," Star explained. Macaria moved the hand that was grabbing her arm down until she and Star were holding hands. They both smiled.
"Should we make a contract?"

Jackson sighed as a saw the scene unfold before him. Just how many lies has he told now? Exactly a year ago Jackson would have called out and brought down anyone who told a lie but look at him now. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. He knew exactly what was going to happen to her.
But this time he chose to lie.
The other times he had to but this time he didn't. He chose to lie to her this time because he didn't want to see her cry. He wouldn't know what to do and would probably beat himself up. He knew this type of lie was a white lie. Even though white lies are lies told to make someone feel better, he understood that white lies are just as bad as the black lies he's told. So what should he do now? She's gone, probably never coming back.
Act 7: white lies.
I'm updating fast...something ain't right...
Wassup! It's ya gurl sugarsugarrush! Happy (early) Valentine's Day! First thing's first, references!
1.) Rose scene- Inspired by the rose ceremony from the Bachelor
2.) Red string of fate- In Chinese mythology, there is a red thread that is tied on your pinky finger and the other end is tied on the pinky finger of the one you're destined to be with. It can get tangled and stuff but it will never untie. Think of it as a soulmate
3.) Warbeast of Fire Queen Hoshimiya Gumiho Long Wang of Yokaia- Warbeast of Fire: They're like these beings that can shapshift into animals and stuff. Idea inspired by Eternal Love, Eternal Love of Dreams, and Ashes of Love. Hoshimiya has fire powers so it's obvious which animal she is. Hoshimiya: From the word Hoshi which means Star in Japanese. I don't remember where I found this but I saw that Hoshimiya also meant Star. Gumiho: Korean for Nine Tailed Fox. Think of Naruto. The nine tailed fox is this mythical creature that appears in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese folklore. They transform into beautiful women, seduce men, and eat their liver or their heart. Long: Means Dragon in Chinese. Wang: Means King in Chinese. Yokaia: From the word Yokai which are supernatural beasts in Japanese. Technically, the warbeasts are yokai. Yokaia is based off of far east asia.
4.) Yue Lao Garden- Name comes from the Chinese God of Marriage Yue Xia Laoren who's often nicknamed Yue Lao
5.) Bulsajo- Pheonix in Korean
6.) Byeol- Star in Korean
7.) Boombox scene- Inspired by the iconic 1989 boombox scene
8.) When Jan says "Who am I if I'm not your guy!? Where am I if we're not together!? I'll wait for a sign!"- I was listening to Lost In The Woods from Frozen 2 as I was typing up this scene and I heard these lyrics and felt they fit
9.) Guardian of the Sun Prince Fuego Domingo Diablo Rey of the Cuzco Empire- Guardian of the Sun: Fuego has sun powers, mainly the fire part of the sun powers. Fuego: Fire in Spanish. Domimgo: Sunday in Spanish. Sunday means Day of the Sun. Diablo: Devil in Spanish. Whenever peolle think of the devil, they think of fire. Rey: King in Spanish. Cuzco Empire: I had the Cuzco Empire be based off of Latin America. When I was thinking of a name, I thought of Emperor Kuzco from the Emperor's New Groove who is the emperor of the Inca Empire. The Inca Empire ran from Colombia reaching far down to Argentina. I was about to name the Cuzco Empire Ziami, after the City of Miami
10.) Guardian of the Moon Princess Estrella Lunes Angel Rey of the Cuzco Empire- Guardian of the Moon: Estrella has moon powers, mainly controlling water. Estrella: Star in Spanish. Lunes: Monday in Spanish. Monday means the Day of the Moon. Angel: In Spanish, Angel has an accent mark. I decided to make the siblings twins and have one twin have the name angel and the other twin have the name devil. It's obvious which twin is the troublemaker and which one isn't. Rey- Refer to #8. Cuzco Empire: Refer to #8
11.) Chakira- Shakira
12.) If y'all watched Coco, Mama Imelda sings a song called La Llorona. That was the song I had in mind as I was typing Estrella's singing scene. I found out later on La Llorona is actually a Mexican folk song based on the legend La Llorona
And that's all! Last chapter, I made a record. Never before have I typed up a chapter in a day. This chapter, I don't know how I managed to type it up in a week, especially since it's been a stressful week for me. Oh well. I'm just hella hella shocked that the updates are getting faster snd faster. Kinda scared about it not gonna lie.
Wow. I've never written a chapter about them going to 2 dimensions in one chapter. That was new territory. Maybe I should explain it more.
Yo, I just realized that the season is almost over. Just 4 more chapters. Damn. Last year it took me from March to October. If I continue at the rate I'm going at, I'll be done with this season by March
Time to close this chapter! Will Pando's genius plan work? Will Brittney ever get a boyfriend? How will Macaria and Star's relationship be like from now on? All will be revealed soon! Don't forget to review or leave me a PM! Later yo!
