Welp! Finally writing this chapter! Enjoy!
Comet's P.O.V
I was dancing in circles in front of the call mirror where Prince Pony Head stood and watched as I sang,
"I JUST CALLED, BECAUSE I HAVE TO SAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON YOUR BIRTHDAY DAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON YOUR BIRTHDAY DAY!" I pulled up my homemade rainbow decorated cupcakes. "And this is for you birthday boy!" The cupcakes started shooting mini fireworks. Pony seemed to love it. "Only the best for the best bestie a best bestie could have!" Pony shrieked.
"OH MY GODDD! You're the best. Thank you so much Dragonfly. Would you mind donating them here for me?"
"Uh..." I was confused. "Did you bump your horn again?" Pony started whispering and looking around.
"Boy, you know we can't just receive packages here at St. Odis' School for Wayward Princes-" He got cut off by my scream. I threw the cupcakes into the air and ran into my treasure box. I did not wanna hear that name ever. To scary to even hear the name. Makes me think about that rotten school and everything it does to innocent princes. Well not completely innocent, but still! Pony Head called out to me. I slowly opened the box I was in and got out.
"I am soooo sorry. I just can't stand hearing the name of that evil place!"
"Dude, you kidding? I'm the one who is here right now!" Pony reminded me.
"I knowwww, but if you weren't there, we could totally party it off like we do every year!" I imagined all the fun we'd have riding in tea cups under rainbow water, sliding down twisty slopes, and dancing all night long at the bounce house. But sadly, we couldn't do any of those things.
The sound of a door creaking open interrupted my thoughts. I looked at Pony who seemed petrified.
"Dragonfly, I think my time here is up-" I saw hands trying to pull him away from the camera. "I love you bestie but I gotta go because they're taking me to the-"
The call ended.
I reached for the mirror.
"No, no. no! Pony you don't deserve this!" I lowered myself to the ground and cried. I felt so bad that on his own birthday he has to be there. I stopped crying when Marcia kicked down my door.
"Comet! Ready to go beat up some monsters?" She did a few kicks and karate chops in the air. "Maybe will help forget about life's frustrations!" I cried even more.
"NOT NOW MARCI! BEST FRIENDS DON'T LET BEST FRIENDS HAVE BAD BIRTHDAY DAYS!" I grabbed a tissue near me and blew my nose. "And Pony Head is having the worst one ever." Marcia raised her eyebrow. Her facial expression quickly became annoyed.
"Okay never mind." She walked towards the door. Was she serious? Now is not the time for her attitude!
"Marcia Ubaldo Diaz, we will not let this happen! Pony Head needs our help! We need to get him out of that prison!" I hope she'd change her mind. I don't really wanna go alone. Plus tagging another person along with me will be twice as easier. Marcia turned around.
"Well why didn't you say so? A breakout? I'm in!" I smiled. That was the last thing I expected her to say, but who cares now! She's with me. Marcia walked towards me.
"Wait, I thought you were scared of St. O-" I screamed once again and ran into my clothing rack.
"We haven't even left yet..." Marcia stated. I popped out my hiding spot.
"Sorry about that..." I walked over to Marcia.
"I don't know how this is gonna work! No one has ever escaped from there before!"
"Well, lucky you, you have me!" She walked over to my dresser. "I'm currently watching a prison escape movie on Netflix, so I think I know what we need." Now she was sitting on the top of my dresser. "We only need three things! Patience," She pointed to her head, "our brains and..." She began digging in her hair. "This beautiful bobby pin!" She finished off will a smile.
"Ooooor we use what I call Comet's Awesome Dimensional Scissors and open a portal right at his cell and bust him out." Marcia put the pin in her pocket and agreed.
I should've known this would've been harder than I thought it would be. We transferred right outside of the school! Marcia looked at me in confusion.
"This isn't Pony's cell." I frowned at her.
"Thank you for pointing that out, caption obvious," I snarled. A warnicorn carriage came running down the path we were standing in. Marcia pushed me right out the way, letting it rush down the road with ease. We both poked our heads out forward to see where the carriage went. A small purple girl with a red glowing eye began talking.
"Ah! The newbies have finally arrived. Welcome to St. Odis' school for wayward princes!" I looked up at the school right and saw thunder appear. I gulped, feeling petrified. Marcia laid her dainty hand on my shoulder.
"I have an idea. New arrivals means we could just somehow blend in somehow unnotice-" I held up my wand.
"RAINBOW SHADOW TRANSFORM!" I was now dressed like some sort of viking with longer horns, spiky boots, an eye patch and simple viking clothing. I caught Marcia staring.
"Wow." I pointed my wand at her.
"Your turn!" I changed Marcia's whole appearance except her face. Her outfit was a fancy pink buttoned prince suit and white bottoms. I also cut off her ponytail. She began freaking out.
"MY PONY-" I cover her mouth with her hands.
"Marci, shh. they might hear us!" I grabbed her arm and quietly snuck the both of us behind the carriage and easily blended in with the other princes in line. The small lady up front who seemed to be the leader started talking again.
"Alright boys, single file. Mr. Heinous is eager to start the reformation process." She had a slight smirk on her face before turning the opposite direction and leading the line of princes forward. I shrieked quietly and started holding on to Marcia for comfort once we went through the huge gate entrance.
"Try not to blow our cover," she whispered.
"Don't allow noble lineage to be thrown away! Here at ST. Odis', we have a plethora of full proof security measures! No dimensional scissors, no magic and no girls allowed! And etiquette of the main focus for your troubled wayward prince! We turn undisciplined behavior into perfection! That free thinking one in a million brat will be turned into one of a million rubber stamp that your bloodline can count on!"
The ad on the big screen cut off. The princes around us didn't seem to share an interest in it at all. Some seemed anxious and some seemed like they wanted to destroy this place. I myself was part of the nervous group. Marcia on the other hand looked outraged. Mr. Heinous stepped up.
"Everyone of you are here for a reason. He began walked down the line of Princes, giving each and every one of them a description of themselves in one word based off of what she sees. "Too wild, too rebellious, too opinionated, too hype, too jolly and too BUBBLY!" roared the headmaster as he popped one of the prince's pink bubble gum bubbles with one touch of his nail. He continued pacing up and down the line. Every time he got close to me, I shivered in fear. I had to remember that I'm here to save my best friend, I'm not here for real. "As part of the noble lineage, you don't have the luxury of being an individual. So by the time I'm done with you all, you'll be fixed." Here he is, the headmaster of St. Odis' school, standing right in front of me. He smirked and continued his sentence. "Every last one of you, whether you're from Pixtopia or Mewni." Mr. Heinous touched my cheek marks.
Don't scream.
Don't scream.
Don't scream.
Don't scream.
The thunderbolt on my left cheek became frozen like ice by the touch of Mr. Heinous' dirty old finger, then he walked towards another prince. I touched my cheek mark softly, feeling the coldness of the ice. I watched Mr. Heinous snatch a pair of dimensional scissors out of a two headed prince's hand. "And don't even think about escaping! We have a tramophidian crystal in tower three. No rift can sustain itself within our walls." He looked at our frowning faces. "Oh come on, did you really think you could escape here that easily. Ha! You wish. You can drop those useless dimensional scissors now." All the princes dropped their scissors in defeat. I was just about to drop mines as well until Marcia stopped and locked eyes with mine.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't give up now! We got this!" I smiled slightly, acknowledging how much confidence and determination she had. I always admired it.
"And that concludes our orientation, I am confident that you all will become perfect princes, one way, or another." Mr. Heinous walked away. The girl walked in front of us the second Mr. Heinous left. She cleared her throat. "Now, let's get everyone checked in so we can start sucking the individuality out of you. I looked at Marcia who seemed to be thinking hard. Her eyes lit up and it looked like she had an idea.
"I HEARD THE FIRST PERSON TO GET CHECKED IN GETS THEIR OWN ROOM!" She called in a manly voice. At first, I panicked because I thought the guards were gonna lock her up already early but whatever she just said actually worked surprisingly. The princes began running to the check out section chaotically, making the guards have to catch up with them.
Marcia grabbed my arm and rushed me behind a vase.
"This place isn't exactly what I thought it would be-" She cut me off when we heard a guard's footsteps coming down the corridors. Once they were out of sight, Marcia and I ran left.
"Yea, breaking out Pony Head will be a breeze," she said. "It's just a high surveillance prison school!" I wasn't too sure about that. This felt too easy.
"Marcia, it's worse than I imagined!" I yelled, pointing over to a prince being forced by a teacher into singing with the animals. That same prince was the prince that tried to steal my face the other day.
"Yeah, just smile and wave Comet." But before I could wave at them, Marcia pulled me to a door to peek inside one of the prince's rooms from the small rectangular caged window on the top of the door. "Gee, these rooms are pretty luxurious."
"Marcia, are you okay?! Have you gone MAD?!" I asked. Like, I know she's a pretty positive person and all but this place is horrible!
"Stop being a party pooper Comet. Like Come on, look at this floor! And the bed screams mad rich. And there's enough velvet on that bed spread for me to swim in!" Marcia read my facial expressions. "What?" she asked.
"Don't you see what's happening here?!" Marcia glanced at the prince in the room dancing.
"Dancing?" I face palmed myself and pushed her away from the prince's door. It didn't take long to find Pony's door. I was gonna attempt to break it don with magic, but Marcia had reminded me there was no use of magic here. Thank god she brought her bobby pin though. It opened the door with ease! Is that like some secret key?!
I looked inside only for what was once my huge smile, to turn into a terrified face.
"WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO MY- Ow!" I got hit in the back of my head by Marcia. "What was that for?!"
"Are you trying to get us caught?!" she yelled in a whisper. But I wasn't focused on Marcia anymore. I was focused on my other best friend who was staring out of a window with a man bun in. When he turned around, his eyes were different too! He looked too perfect!
"Uh, Pony..." i began walking up to him. "It's ya birthday! Let's go partyyy!" I was trying not to be nervous, but it was difficult because he looked horrifyingly perfect.
"My deepest apologizes, but I must decline as partying is for the unrefined." I almost screamed. WHY WAS HIS VOICE SO DEEP AND PERFECT-
I yanked onto Marcia's suit.
"Marcia I'm scared." She slightly pushed me away and punched her fists together.
"Don't worry I got this." I watched as Marcia walked up to him. "Hey Pointy Head! It's me, Earth Turd!" Did she really think that was gonna magically bring my best friend back?
"Such language belongs in the gutters of Golasamore," he started giggling through his words. At this point I was getting crept out. How, just how does one make a laugh become so perfect?! I started pulling my hair.
"NOOO! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU?!" I ran over to him and knocked Marcia to the ground while at it. "Snap out of it! Snap out of it!" I looked back at my best friend. "This, this is what they do to you hereeeee!" I whined.
"Relax Comet! Once we disable that crystal thing and get out of here, we can get him back to normal. He'll finally be a benefit to society." She walked over to the fire place and picked up some objects. She noticed that I was watching, so she spoke up. "Don't worry, I saw this in a movie called Escape from Jail Mountain. Trust me, it will save our hives, just like it saved Hank Innocent." I raised an eyebrow because I had no clue who or what she was talking about. Marcia now looked out the door way, making sure everything was clear. She gestured me and Pony out of cell and into the halls.
"Escaping is inappropriate! Guards! Guar-" I covered Pony's mouth. He was about to get us caught! Sadly one guard heard us and Marcia pushed us back. We ran to the part of the castle where all the new princes were seated at a fancy table with unhappy faces and holding tea cups with their pinkies sticking out. They then started saying two certain lines over and over again.
"More tea please. Keep your pinkies at ninety degrees. More tea please. Keep your pinkies at ninety degrees." I looked at the princes in horror.
"This is worse than my worst nightmare..." I muttered. Marcia agreed. Pony joined along with the prince's chant.
"Keep your pinkies at ninety degrees."
"Why are you saying that?! YOU DON"T EVEN HAVE PINKIES!" I yelled. Marcia dived us onto the floor and now we were crawling away from the guards behind us. "She's right on us!" I told her. We gotta blast our way out of-" Marcia stopped me.
"No. That will just put more heat on us. We need some sort of distraction..." She thought for a moment.
"Well they are not getting my individuality," I started, about to get up. I froze in place when Marcia came up with an idea.
"That's it!" She stood up out in the open and took one of the prince's tea cup, putting it in the air and start shouting, "IT"S NOT CRIMINAL TO BE AN INDIVIDUAL!" She threw the tea cup at the guard and started encouraging the other princes to chant with him. "Come on! It's not criminal to be an individual!" A small fairy flew into the air and held up her tea cup as well.
"It's not criminal to be an individual!" She squeaked in her high pitched voice, throwing the tea cup at the guard too. That's when everyone followed along and did the same movements. This was the perfect opportunity to run and head to the door. And that's what we did. Pony head started laughing.
"Tehehe, he got scolded!" I smiled big. Could it be? My best friend is still in there!
My smile turned into a frown when I saw a massive amount of guards up ahead.
"Wrong way!" Marcia called. We both turned and ran a completely different direction. Marcia pointed at a door up ahead that we ran into and kept it shut by moving huge objects in front of it. Marcia used all the strength she could to keep the guards from pushing open the door. "Quick, find a place to hide!" she told me.
When we were a bit far from the guards, we slowed down a bit and walked through the corridors. We saw that the princes who were once chanting with us were being locked away in their rooms. We then arrived to a place which looked like the center because it had many doors circling around the room.
"What is this place?" asked Marcia looking up at a graphic design on the ceiling.
"I don't know..." i responded. Marcia pushed me forward as sounds of running footprints were being heard.
"We gotta keep it moving!" Out of the several doors in the room, we ran straight ahead to the first one we saw only run inside...a laundry room?" Marcia opened up the square door on the wall. I 'm supposing that's where the laundry falls? "Hop in, I'll meet you down there." I obeyed. When Marcia was about to come down too, she was stuck. "No, no, no no, my leg is stuck!" I called her name as I fell down the laundry well. And Marcia ended up getting taken by the guards. Me and Pony landed on a huge dirty pile of laundry. I looked him in the eye sadly.
"Why can't you remember who you are?!" I asked him helplessly as if he was gonna give me the answer I wanted. I fell to the floor and just lied there. "So this is how it ends..." I didn't even know who I was talking to at this point. It's not like Pony was listening. "On a cold checkered floor by a pile of solid linens, wearing an eye patch," I continued, putting my hands over my face. "Ughhh, I can't do this. I can't do this without Marcia Pony! What am I going to do, without doing anything idiotically stupid?!" I looked right. There was a picture hanging on the wall of a brunette haired prince in an orange suit. I read the words that was written on the photo aloud. "Embrace a Prince mentality, wash away your individuality?!" I got up angrily and marched over to the photo and started hitting it with some random wooden stool I found beside it. "EMBRACE THIS!" I kept hitting it to the point where I broke down in tears. This was all my fault. I'm stuck here with a brainwashed Pony Head, Marcia is probably getting the worst treatment possible right now, and sooner or later, I'll be caught too! As I cried I heard sounds of paper ripping and and yelling in the background. I turned around to see Pony Head ripping up the poster and laughing.
Had he changed back?! Am I believing my eyes?!
"P-Pony! YOU"RE BACK!" I yelled, tackling him with a hug.
"You know it boy! Now let's go destroy something else! I don't even care what it is!" Pony paused his speaking when we both heard a high pitched girly scream. "Is that earth turd I'm hearing right now?" I frowned.
"Yup, Heinous got her..."
"Well, what the fuck are we waiting for? Ain't she ya best bestie?" His words of encouragement sparked my mind.
"Yea!"
"Oh earth!" he continued. "I'm still your best bestie over all, ri-" I grabbed him by his head and ran to the nearest exit.
"Come on!" I ran over to a vent and screwed open the nails with Pony's horn. Once I got it to open, I slid right inside with Pony still in my right arm. "Keep screaming Marci!" I shouted.
Finally, I got to the same room Marcia was in. I blasted her out her handcuffs. I also created some giant monster butterfly to distract Heinous and the rest that were in the control room.
No one's P.O.V
"Mr. Heinous, your cheeks!" called out the one eyed purple girl. Heinous put both hands on her cheeks and began flipping out.
"No, no, no, no!" He feel into the chair that Marcia was once in and started learning the prince rules on the slideshow himself.
Comet, Marcia and Pony Head were all running to the exit of the building. Comet and Pony were Marcia's guidance because she could barely walk normal after being tortured for no less than fifteen minutes.
"Glad you're back to normal," she told Pony in a weak voice.
"You too!" he complimented back. "But now I can make fun of how horrible you look in that suit!" The sound of tea cups hitting the metal bars on a prince's window, caught their eyes.
"It's not criminal, to be an individual!" Soon, more princes in their room cells chimed in. "It'S NOT CRIMINAL TO BE AN INDIVIDUAL!" Pony and Comet looked at Marcia.
"Wow earth turd, they are into this!"
"Yea, Marcia! You really started something!" The disguised girl slightly pushed the both of them off of her.
"I'm not just finished yet." She cleared her throat, silencing the princes in their cells. "My fellow wayward brothers, I'll show you the way! They want you to be a rubber stamp princess. I say we stamp on them!"
The next minute went by and now there was a swarm of rebellious princes turning the corner and heading for the front door which was immediately shut by two guards at the front. But that wasn't enough to stop the crowd from kicking down the doors. We ran outside and Marcia pointed at the tower that held the crystal ball. Comet and her ran towards it as the other princes handled the guards that were coming out with punches, kicks, tails, magic and bubbles. Comet held up his wand and aimed it at the tower. He cast a spell that completely destroyed the crystal, but also knocked over the tower. The princes began screaming and running to safety. Comet, Marcia and Pony all moved away just in time. The tower fell to the ground, landing on no one thankfully, but then it did the unexpected where it started shooting colored fireworks out the windows. Everyone started partying.
Comet wasn't too interested though, he just wanted to get out of this horrible wicked place.
"Welp, time's wasting!" he said. "If we hurry we can't still party at the Bounce Lounge!"
"Boy, get the fuck out if you think I'm going there! The Bounce Lounge got nothing on this party!" Pony shouted over the loud fire works. Comet frowned.
"But it's your birthday day!" he reminded him.
"But I got my gift already! You broke me out this horrid place, and I got my groove back!" Comet sighed and gave him a big hug. Unfortunately, there was an interruption. A few guards came over to attack us, but with the easy use of magic, the prince blasted them down like it was nothing. And one tried attacking Marcia, but she knocked her down unconscious.
"So you wanna stay here?" Comet asked to the flying head.
"You bet! I still gotta buy me one of those weird masks on the guard's faces! So see ya!" The unicorn flew off.
"Buy one for me!" Marcia called. Comet opened up a portal with his scissors and tugged on Marcia's arm.
"Yea, this was fun and all yada, yada, yada, but are we forgetting this is the place I fear of the most? So let's get out of here and never come back!'

A/N: FINALLYYYYYY! I can't believe I actually spent almost a MONTH writing this chapter, because at first, I truly did not feel like writing this chapter so I was stuck on the part where they first got to St. Odis' for the LONGEST. Basically to distract myself, I focused on writing my other books on Wattpad.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
I WILL BE SKIPPING THE FOLLOWING EPISODES: Mewnipendance Day / the Banagic Incident AND Interdimensional Field Trip/Marco Grows a Beard
Those episodes are nice and all but a little boring to me except Marco Grows a Beard. But see...this book is gender swap. Plus, a filler episode so it's not important.
Keep reading for Storm the Castle!
Love ya!
