"I'm not good at these new spells. Why can't I just stick with a narwhal blast?" Whining, Star groans out loud as together, Marco and I struggle to keep the book upright being used as a display case for Star's spell book. Glossaryck attempts to teach Star a new spell, one from if I remember correctly Star's favourite princess, Skywinne.
Princess Skywinne is a pretty interesting case, I got to admit I'd be pretty proud if I had her as a grandma well great, great, great grandma. I mean from what Star told and translated from the mewman language, Skywinne took on the role as queen at a really young age due to her mother getting bored with the position and nearly destroyed an entire dimension that is so badass plus she had time powers, she sounds so awesome though to do so much but sacrifice so many of her years for it that is pretty cool, I got to give her that.
"Because there are other spells in your book." Calmly, Glossaryck reminds her.
"Yeah, but..." Tired, Star groans out loud laid sprawled out on the grass, lazily wielding her wand.
"Oh, Star. Look. This one's got pictures. Can we do it?" Glossaryck attempts to coax her as her blues gaze at the simple instructions.
"That's got a lot of steps." Groaning, Star complains wearing her green dress with a mint collar, sleeve cuffs, and trim on the skirt, pink and purple striped leggings, white boots with magenta soles, pale pink tips, and a star on both sides of each heel, a magenta headband, and a black spider necklace
"Star, can you just do the spell, please? This book is so heavy." Sweating, Marco begs as I nod my head.
"If you don't mind, we would prefer to be human beings rather than a display stand." Snidely, I remark grimacing at Marco's sweat touching mine.
"Ugh! Alright. What do I gotta do?" Annoyed, Star gives in as she turns to question Glossaryck.
"Start with the first one." Glossaryck tells her pointing to the diagram of step by step instructions. Unamused, Star strikes a bored looking pose.
"Mmm, close enough. I guess. Now how about this one?" Patiently, Glossaryck points to the next picture in the book. Star lazily matches the pose.
"Mmm. Okay, see to me, it looks like you're gonna wanna get both arms up, like way up together." Glossaryck describes gesturing to the same move as the princess drawn. Bored, Star moves her arm an inch.
"More." Glossaryck coaxes as sighing, Star extends her arm another inch.
"Up and out Star. Look at me." Glossaryck calls out to the blonde looking the other way.
"Huh?" Star turns snapping out of her own little world as she returns her focus to Glossaryck.
"All the way up. Pointing at 11:00." Glossaryck instructs her.
"Earth 11:00 or Mewni 11:00?" Confused, Star questions.
"They're the same Star. Ugh, this is impossible." Exasperated, Glossaryck huffs.
"Look, I know how to cast a spell, okay? Twirl, twirl, twirl, helicopter arms, helicopter arms, warnicorn stampede!" Fed up, Star rushes the spell as a tiny purple warnicorn drops from the sky.
"See, I did it." Annoyed, she huffs as I can't help but leap towards the beauty just as I do pounce however, I hear the cry of startled pain from Marco having the sudden shift of weight be too much for the human as the hefty books pins him to the ground. Happily, I cuddle the cutie nuzzling into my cheek.
"I've only had this beauty for one day, but I would kill everyone in this place and then myself." Honestly, I confess entranced by the pretty creature.
"But Star, that's a single warnicorn. A stampede is many warnicorns. I think somebody needs to get back to studying her spell book." Glossaryck hints making Star scowl.
"Help…" Weakly, Marco croaks out begging for aid as I turn to him and pull him out.
"You know what, Glossaryck? I'm done with the book for today. Come on Marco, Ash. Let's go have fun with our friends." Smiling, Star grabs Marco's feet as I kneel down, the warnicorn prancing into my arms as I am about to follow her until….
"Oh. I thought we were friends but..." Pained, Glossaryck begins making me grimace at the situation.
"What? Oh, no, no, no, no. That's not what I meant. We're friends. I just don't have fun with you. But that is so fine 'cause it's not like you like having fun, right? Obviously. That's why you're alone all the time. Lonely people can be cool, like you. You're like a wise old hermit. Or like [stuttering], like a wise old monk. Or... or a... a... well I don't really know what you are but...
"Star stop, you're digging a grave that is nearly hitting China…" Pained, I groan at my friend's already buried grave she has found herself trapped within.
"Wow. Say no more. I know when I'm not wanted." Curtly, Glossaryck descends into a donut box.
"No, no, no…." Desperate, Star begins but…
"I won't be bothering you ever again." Aloofly, Glossaryck decides.
"Oh my gosh. I am so sorry, Glossaryck. No of course you're our friend." Apologetically, Star tells him as he levitates down to the donut box, slamming it shut.
"Uh, is he though? All this guy has ever done for us is hand out weird riddles and eat pudding…" Nervously, Marco questions her as Star turns to me.
"I think he's okay," Simply, I answer only then to blink as the warnicorn in my arms thrashes about and disappears into a smog of pink.
"Uh! Don't you talk like that about our friend Marco. We have to make it up to him." Teary eyed, Star begs.
"Alright. Look, my Uncle Enrique hid in a box for three days once. I know how to handle this…" Smiling, Marco declares.
"Why did he need to hide in a box for three days?" Perplexed, I arch a brow at it but receive no reply as we sigh following Marco's plan and head to the cinema.
"We can never be together, Isabel. We're from two different worlds…"
Calmly, we watch the black and white screen show some handsome guy fall for some sort of octopus princess hybrid, placing a tentacle on the actor's face by the creature called Isabel.
"Society will never accept us!" Tearful, the man runs away as I roll my eyes at the stupidity of this movie and scene.
"See? Isn't this fun? Just three good friends watching a movie together. 'Cause that's what good friends do!" Happily, Star smiles as we lean in the cinema chairs, where I merrily slurp my coke and eat my mixed sweet salt popcorn, eagerly munching on it.
"Marco, Ash will one of you please tell Star we are not talking." Politely, Glossaryck requests.
"I'm not getting involved in this petty dispute," I scold shaking my head as I lean back trying to enjoy the film.
"Star, Glossaryck said he's still not talking. Glossaryck, can you be nice and pass this popcorn-candy mix to Star?" Peacefully, Marco tries to be the peacekeeper.
"Hmm, let me think. No, but I will have these." Swiftly, Glossaryck takes all of Marco's other food.
"Hey!" Frowning, Marco glares at the donut box as Glossaryck's small hand swiftly snatches Marco's food.
"Oh, Boom Nuggets. I know where you're going!" Pleased, Glossaryck smiles as a small poof of orange poofs out of the box like some sort of mini explosion.
"They're my Boom Nuggets." Huffing, Marco grumbles slouching in his seat, brow furrowed as he pouts.
"Hey, no big deal. I'll just make us some more snacks." Glowingly, Star smiles and takes out her wand.
"No wait!" Scared, Marco hisses.
"Cotton candy cloud!" Contentedly, Star declares as a pink cloud appears over Marco's head.
"Huh. That worked out better than..." Hopeful, Marco smiles.
"Good work Star," Impressed, I praise her making her smile brightly only for it to falter when a bunch of spaghetti falls out of the cloud and onto Marco.
"Ugh. You know, it might not kill you to study a bit more." Disgusted, Marco scowls at the box of donuts, grasping a handful of noodles and brushing it off.
"Oh don't you start too Marco." Sternly, Star scowls.
"He does have a point how are we to fight back if anyone else comes to attack us," I argue.
"Oh what? Like Ludo please," Smugly, Star smirks leaning back dismissing my thoughts as I sigh.
"Glossaryck, you'll miss the whole movie if you stay in there. I thought you liked romantic comedies." Tiredly, Marco reasons to him.
"Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. I've seen this one before. And the squid lady dies in the end." Bluntly, Glossaryck reveals causing a wave of anger at him, the crowd groans and throws popcorn at us. Carefully, I inch myself away, protecting myself from the crossfire.
"This is the most disgusting dumpster in town." Confidently, Marco promises Star as I open it, Marco pinching his nose alongside me as Star tosses the perky pink box inside the rubbish which I swiftly close.
"The smell will get him out of the box." Self-assured, Marco promises us.
"If you're weird monster attack doesn't, I don't know what will well expect setting the box on fire and smoking him out," I offer.
"Still not doing that." Marco refuses making me grumble.
"Alright! We're getting Glossaryck back!" Pumped up, Star smiles only for our eyes to widen when a garbage truck rolls up to the dumpster. The truck picks up the trash; the box of donuts balances between two crush doors.
"Glossaryck!" Scared, Star lunges forward only for our eyes to widen when Star narrowly misses the dimensional scissors nearly stabbing her as a dimensional pair of scissors pokes out of thin air. Scarily, Star almost runs right into its blade. Swiftly, the portal opens up. Ludo flies in with bird and spider.
"What the?" Stunned, we all turn to the three as the trio lands, revealing Ludo…
"I knew I forgot to tell you guys something!" Sighing, I blurt out gesturing to Ludo.
"You forgot this!? How could you!?" Marco demands from me.
"I had a lot on my mind." Frustrated, I defend myself.
"Ludo⁈ You're back?" Stunned, Star gasps drawing her wand.
"Ludo's back!" Gawking, Marco gasps.
"Yes, I am." Ludo confirms.
"I tossed you into the abyss." Star repeats.
"She tossed you into the abyss." Marco copies.
"Yes, you did." Ludo answers. Annoyed, Star growls and raises her wand only then for Ludo to raise his wand and sees Star's. "What?" Ludo raises a brow.
"Huh?" Confused, Star stares at the skeletal wand.
"You have a wand?" Stunned, Ludo and Star chorus.
"You both have wands." Marco gasps pointing at them both making me frown.
"Okay, seriously Marco, that's getting annoying." Honestly, Ludo turns to him.
"Actually, he's right." Star confesses.
"Did you know he had a wand?" Marco turns to me.
"No! I think I would tlel you if I did." Annoyed, I defend myself.
"You didn't tell us about Ludo's new henchmen!" Marco points out.
"Okay just because I forgot that doesn't mean I would forget if he had a wand!" Defensively, I argue.
"Star Butterfly, you're coming with me!" Angrily, Ludo declares only for our eyes to widen when Ludo's wand fires, flinging him backwards into a wall. The blast hits a building, causing it to explode.
"Rainbow fist punch! What?" Star declares only for Star's spell wimpily deflates instead of attacking Ludo.
"Ha ha! That's your rainbow punch?" Ludo taunts as Spider and bird approach Marco and me. They jump on him, but I dodge out of the way, taking out a familiar staff and kicking the spider off of Marco freeing him. Chaotically, Ludo fires more shots at Star, who screams as they narrowly miss.
"Heart attack!" Star fires out tiny appear like hearts but the spell does nothing to disarm Ludo, only gives him some scrap heart shaped prices of paper littered all over him.
"This is the worst wand fight I've ever seen." Annoyed, Marco scowls.
"Harry potter's wand fight is better." I remark under my breath as I kick the spider back, oblivious as the garbage truck starts closing its crush door, threatening to destroy Glossaryck's box.
"Oh no, I don't have time for this." Fed up, Star leaps forward.
"Hey, we aren't done. Come back here." Annoyed, Ludo demands as messily, the two continue to misfire their respective wands, my brow furrowed at the destruction caused by both sides.
"Seriously?" Unimpressed, Star sighs as Ludo continues to scream as his wand thrusts him around the sky, causing a lot of destruction. Marco and I continues fighting spider and bird. Marco then sees the crush door lowering and throws a garbage can lid into it to hold the door open.
"Nice." Smirking, Star smiles however next thing I know, the spider traps Marco in his threat as I attempt to cut him free, however as I do. Startled, I release a small scream of shock as the bird swoops down, its claws embedded into my shoulders as I am flow high into the heavens.
"Ash! Star, the lid. It isn't holding!" Concerned, Marco calls out to me.
"Glossaryck! Ash!" Star glances up at me.
"I'm fine focus on Glossaryck!" I advise as I am tossed high into the air. Messily, a blast from Ludo's wand knocks her over the truck as it crushes the box.
"Oh no! Glossaryck!" Star calls out.
"No!" Together, Marco and I chorus.
"Now Princess, I give you a choice. Come with me or die." Darkly, Ludo demands, landing on the ground, finally having some sort of control on his bony wand, her eyes turning teary, glasses.
"Warnicorn stampede!" Nevertheless, Star tries again but the spell misfires a small harmless warnicorn like it did before comes out.
"Fine. Have it your way. It's going to be pretty hard to miss from here." Smugly, Ludo declares as the warnicorn simple nudges his cheek and leaves.
"Star!" Marco and I cry out as suddenly, the donut box uncrumples, blasts itself through the air, and trips Ludo. Glossaryck levitates out of the box, meditating as he whistles, summoning the book. Animatedly, the spell book smashes its way out of the Diaz's house, rolls down the street, and flies into Star's hands, making Star gasp in awe of the book.
"What? A book." Surprised, Ludo blinks at the relic.
"Now read." Glossaryck instructs her. Focused, Star rereads the page on "Incantation Dance" and immediately starts striking the correct poses, charging up her wand with energy.
"Warnicorn stampede!" Determined, Star declares. Behind her, 5 warnicorns pop into existence in a fanfare of light, and charge.
"What is that?" Stunned, Ludo gasps unaware of the wand glowing an eerie green humming as the warnicorns attack, sending Ludo, spider, and bird letting me go. I scream, only then for Star to create a plus marshmallow making me groan grateful for the save but disgusted at the sticky residue of the marshmallow. Rapidly, Star comes over and pries me from the marshmallow, residue of sticky snow white all over me as I groan, needing a shower later. I make a note for myself, watching the bird plummeting back into their portal.
"You did it! That was so cool." Amazed, Marco praises her.
"Yeah it was! And all I had to do was read from the book. Are you okay Ash?" Star questions me.
"I'm fine that was AWESOME!" Grinning, I smile in awe at the fun but terrifying ride.
"Well, my work here is done." He dives into book.
"Glossaryck. I'm sorry we hurt your feelings." Guilty, Star apologises.
"Oh, you didn't hurt my feelings. I have no feelings. It was all part of the plan." Calmly, Glossaryck informs her.
"Wait no feelings?" Perplexed, I furrow my brow as he smiles at me, finding the smile disturbing almost.
"What do you mean, part of the plan?" Confused, Star asks him.
"Yeah, why'd you lock yourself in the donut box then?" Marco asks.
"The donuts…" I shrug.
"Exactly, Ash gets it. I went into that box on purpose because I needed to get to that candy." Glossaryck informs us.
"Oh! Wait, why?" Lost, Marco asks.
"Well, how would you rocket yourself from a trash compactor?" Glossaryck enquires.
"What? I don't know." Marco shrugs unsure.
"Marco, Marco. I had to be in that donut box so I could land at Ludo's feet to trip him up and save the day." Calmly, he informs Marco.
"Wait, wait. So you're saying you did all that on..." Marco begins.
"Boom Nuggets." Glossaryck cackles.
"Fine." Sighing, Marco complies as we sigh heading back home unaware of the cackling Ludo reporting the existence of the spell book to his green glowing wand.
