Frowning, Janna and I reluctantly approach the school of hell that is echo creek, my ears hear the gentle chirp of birds making me grumble at yet another boring normal day of echo creek. I wonder what should I do today? I got some good firecrackers off of Janna; everyone loves the toilet exploding trick hmm….
"Janna…" Blinking, I falter in my steps as I stare at the carriage built for two parked before the school, doing a double take.
"Yeah." Janna mutters.
"Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?" Curious, I question my friend, my hand reaching to my ruby red locks and tugging at my side ponytail, making me hiss as I blink registering it to be real.
"If you mean if you're seeing two magical creatures being used to drive a carriage then yes." Honest, Janna confesses to me.
"Where the heck is my fairy godmother!?" Annoyed, I argue scowling at the sight of the luxury before me.
"What are you talking about? I am your fairy god mother." Cheekily, Janna teases making me groan.
"Okay then oh wise fairy god mother tell me should I do it?" Smirking, I question Janna.
"Do it." Grinning, she encourages making me snicker as I approach getting out my dagger, snickering as I easily manage to cut the reigns as Janna distracts the driver. Cackling I watch the destruction and chaos unfold as the Cerberus like creatures roar finally free startling the driver, who releases a snobbish gasp as his creatures roam free, terrorising anyone in their path making me chortle in awe of the power and chaos.
"Why did you do that?" Annoyed, the voice calls out as we turn to Diaz.
"Ah morning Marco…." Casually I greet him as he frowns at the pair of us suspicious, no doubt he isn't the first and won't be the last but hey where's the fun in this boring school?
"You didn't answer my question." Sternly, he crosses his arms making me roll my eyes.
"Because I'm an agent of chaos." Simply, I shrug smirking as I high five Janna.
"That isn't an answer." Irritated, Diaz huffs at us.
"But it's my calling besides Janna?" I turn to question her.
"Sounds legit." She nods her head.
"Thank you…" Smugly, I smirk thanking my friend as Marco rolls his eyes as we head into class for the much hated horror that is maths. If it were history I would be much happier, only cause I get to correct the teacher when is obviously wrong.
"Janna…kill me." Groaning, I whine out loud, slouching in my seat.
"Not unless you kill me first…" Janna groans back.
"Guys come on we got to focus…" Diaz calls out to us in a hushed whisper making me roll my eyes.
"Marco Diaz, to the principal's office. Marco Diaz, to the principal's office…" The announcer calls out.
"Oooooh... looks like someone's in trouble. So, I guess everyone who voted me "Safest Kid" must be feeling pretty embarrassed right about now." Proudly, Diaz stands as Janna and I share a look, brow arched at Diaz boasting.
"You're as much as a bad boy as you are a bad student." Snidely, I remark.
"You're just jealous that you're title of being the bad boy at echo creek is falling to me!" Happily, he places his hands on his hips.
"No I'm really not Diaz and if anything I can't be the bad boy. Last I checked I was female and also I never called myself that if you clad yourself that, which just shows how much of a bad boy that you aren't…" Easily, I counter his argument making him go quiet having no rebuttal making me snicker as Janna fist bumps me which I happily return.
"You're mean today. Do I need a hall pass?" Quietly, Diaz whispers to Skullnick our bore of a teacher.
"Would you just go already?!" Angrily, she snarls at Diaz making him squeak back making me chuckle.
"So you're telling me you're stuck with this crazy whack job with magic?" Frowning, Marco and I watch the blonde bimbo gnaw at the water fountain after he tells me of her rich royal family bribing the head with jewels, making a note to steal them later.
"Apparently so…" Tiredly, Marco sighs.
"And you haven't done anything with this magic yet?" Amazed, he arches a brow at the possibilities.
"What could I do?" He furrows his brow making my eyes widen gawking at Diaz.
"ANYTHING Diaz ANYTHING. You could get Jackie to finally notice you, you could be the bad boy that you want to be you could…!" Flabbergasted, I shake Marco trying to drill into his brain the endless possibilities with this blonde chick.
"Dude shush about that!" Urgently, he hisses at me making me roll my eyes at Diaz.
"Oh come on we all know it." I scoff.
"Ooh Marco whose your friend?" Inquisitive, the blonde known as Star leans in. I scowl at her, feeling my brow twitch.
"Personal space much?" I remark sarcastically.
"Oh sorry!" Apologetically, she smiles at me as I feel my brow twitch as she grabs my hand. "You have five seconds to get your hand off me before I break it off…" Frighteningly, I warn her making her blues instead of dilate in fear grow wider and sparkle in awe.
"Ooh are we going to fight? I love fighting!" Eagerly, she questions me.
"And you know what I love?" Smirking, I offer.
"What?" Eager, she questions me.
"A game called straightjacket." I begin as Marco groans face palming.
"Ooh an earth game what do you do?" Probing, she asks me.
"Well you put on a straightjacket and then we phone a number and a magical van comes along to pick you up. They may even offer you candy?" Jokingly, I mock the naïve girl.
"Really!?" Squealing, she jumps up and down.
"Really!" I agree laughing internally at the idiot.
"Ash enough." Firmly, Marco intervenes making me whine disappointed at the kill joy as I leave him to deal with the golden blonde, having another important blonde in my mind.
"So let me get this straight you call me this late just for me to get you a slushie…" Frowning, I exit out of the store, having used the jewels much to the vender's shock, not sure how to pay me as I stuff the heavy packs of bills into my wallet. Hungrily, Marco seizes hold of the slushie, downing it as the raincloud before him pours down on him.
"Come on dude I've had a rough day besides you're not doing anything…" He points out as I shrug he has me there.
"As much as I hate to say it Diaz you're right but just know I had to reschedule my deal with Tony." Honestly, I confess to him giving him that.
"The firecracker guy?" Scared, He arches a brow.
"He has a life outside firecrackers you know Marco, like pirate CD's or knitting." I gesture making Marco's eyes widen.
"Dude you could get arrested." Worried, he points out.
"Haven't yet." Casually, I slurp at my drink, scoffing, even if I did get caught no one would care. I got no one to be burdened with caring for me; I mean Janna's folks look after me, sometimes Diaz's too but eh staying at Janna's isn't bad.
"Still can't believe she's staying at your place, today is not your day is it?" Chuckling, I shake my head at my friend's misfortune.
It really isn't. She destroyed my room!" He groans.
"She can make you a new one, a better one at that. Hey think these lazar puppies think if your dad got shot again his eyesight would be better?" I offer making Madoc furrow his brow contemplating my logic.
"Wa-ha! Whoa! What are you doing here?" Panicked, Marco freaks out as the raincloud vanishes still leaving him wet as he freaks out over Star.
"Hey Star." Casually, I greet her.
"Hey…I didn't get a choice about coming here to Earth, and you didn't get a choice about having to deal with me." Sadly, Star confesses to us mainly Marco as I watch the emotional episodic scene occur as Marco's angry expression softens, guiltily glancing at me to see my simple shrug.
"I'll... I'll find another family to live with." Sadly, she whispers bowing her head as I open my mouth offering her a place at mine, well Janna's that until, stunned both mine and Marco's eyes dilate in horror and shock at the monster horde coming out of nowhere.
"S-S-Star?" Nervously, Marco calls out to her confusing her.
"You may want to look around." Anxiously, I hint feebly as she turns her blues widening alongside my yellow at the sight.
"Star Butterfly! At last, I've found you!" The tiny bird creature declares.
"Ludo! How did you know I was here?" Angrily, Star demands form the bird called Ludo.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Chuckling Ludo smirks.
"Yes. That's why I asked." Star frowns.
"She did ask dude." I point out as Star nods her head.
"Well, Buff Frog—hey! I don't have to tell you anything! Get her!" Ludo commands as roaring the monsters strike at us making both macro and I get into our battle stances.
"Hi-yaaa!" Easily, Marco drops a three-eyed minion with a punch to the gut and an axe kick to the head.
"You can fight?!" Amazed, Star gasps as quickly, one of the monsters, a giraffe approaches me only for me to flip him over.
"It's called... karate!" Pumped up, Marco smirks.
"And judo!" I call out laughing as I easily flip the fools. Marco drops Bearicorn with a cross chop. Star fights Beard Deer who is wielding a hammer; she kicks him in the stomach, and the hammer bonks him on the head. Marco gives a karate yell as he does a flying kick whereas I manage to strike at the other fools, easily disarming, flipping and dealing with them.
"You said she was unguarded!" Feebly, Ludo cries out.
"Rainbow Fist Punch!" Strikingly, Star produces a rainbow-colored fist to knock the giraffe minion through a car window. While fighting the first three-eyed minion, Marco opens the car's driver side door, and the giraffe minion's neck stretches to knock the three-eyed minion out. Smirking, I grab the lobster creature twisting his neck as I flip him making him cry out as I slam him onto the car boot, then knee the buff frog guy making him keel over in pain.
"And other stuff." I mutter under my breath as the battle continues.
Easily, Star knocks a minion over with her wand, and it whinnies in pain like a horse. Marco and I appear next to her, and we smile at each other as Marco karate-chops the two-headed minion, I drop kick the fly guy whereas Star blasts Buff Frog back into a streetlight.
"You're embarrassing me! Get up!" Angrily, Ludo screams as Buff Frog gets up and breaks the streetlight off its base, using it as a club.
"Cheater!" I call out offended.
"Jellybean Hallucination Mist!" Powerfully, Star blasts Buff Frog with magic, and he hallucinates raining jellybeans and faces on his hands until the group fall to the ground, defeated by all three of us. Messily, narwhals slithers away. Ludo looks surprised, then displeased.
"You want some of this, Ludo?" Tauntingly, Star mocks him.
"No... see, you morons?! This is what happens when you don't work out! Your muscles are like pudding! Come on, back in the portal, back in the portal. You even retreat like losers!" Pained, Ludo's minions stand, groaning and covered in bruises, they shuffle through the portal.
"Maybe it's cause you are a loser and also maybe get the frog to eat some carbs, that helps usually," I advise the monster, surprisingly, Ludo hums taking on the advice as he helps the frog monster inside the portal before closing it, well he tries to….
"I'll get you, Star Butterf—!" Shocked, Ludo gasps as the portal closes around Ludo's neck, choking him. He pulls his head in at the last second, leaving behind his skull crown.
"Alas, poor Ludo! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath borne me on his back a thousand times, and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is!" Smirking, I approach Ludo's skull looking fondly at it, moving it upwards performing making Marco chuckle while Star quirks her head to the side confused by the recital.
"That was amazing! I was amazing! You were amazing!" Gushing, Marco praises us making me laugh as I try to put on the skull but fail.
"Yeah. I guess we were. ...Well... I should probably go pack my bags." Solemnly, Star walks away sadly. Marco glances at me as I nod watching as Marco goes to stop her.
"Wait! I don't want you to go. I want you to stay with us." Brightly, Marco beams stopping her.
"Really?!" Excited, Star beams.
"Heck yeah you can't go not after that much fun!" Grinning, I argue shaking my head.
"Hugs!" Grinning, Star hugs Marco and me making us both smile as we head back to Diaz's place, knowing they'll let me stay for the night after all they love me...I think.
