Chapter 08: Monster Arm
Sabrina was happy, it was Sunday and there was nothing much to do. She did have something planned though and that involved Marco. Marco had invited Sabrina over, so she put on a cute white dress with a flower pattern. Then she added a cute pink apron when she got to the kitchen.
She and Marco were gonna make snacks and work on their school work.
Marco put on his own apron as he looked over a cook book. Marco having tried all the recipes in the books already at the house wanted to try something bought a cook book all about pastries and desserts. Marco decided to invite Sabrina to help him try them out.
Marco's host family was more than grateful for the snacks.
Already they spotted River, Star and Glossaryck sitting on Star's head peaking around the door eagerly.
"Come now," Moon pulled them away, "leave them alone, finish getting ready."
"Fine." Star walked off with River right behind.
Moon turned to the pair of teenagers, "We should be back from brunch with my mother later in the afternoon."
"I understand, thank you for letting us use the kitchen." Marco thanked her.
"Think nothing off, think of this place as your home Marco."
"Then I'll be sure to clean up before you get back."
"If you are going to thank me, I'd appreciate if you save us a few snacks."
"I'll make sure we save you some snacks, Mrs. Butterfly." Sabrina spoke up with a bright smile.
Moon smiled, "Thank you, dear." She leaned in and whispered, "Good luck," Moon walked away to wrangle her family.
She chuckled a little to herself, it was so obvious that Sabrina had a crush on Marco and he had yet to realize it. It reminded her about her youth with River, he cared about her so much and didn't notice it for a long time. All the turkey he brought her should have been a clue.
She hoped the girl could find the courage to tell him about her feelings, and however Marco felt she'd find happiness.
Marco spotted Glossaryck hovering in the same spot, "Glossaryck, what are you doing here?"
"What? She's not my boss." Glossaryck told him flatly.
"Uh," Sabrina tried to pull up the courage to talk to the little man, "don't worry, I'll make sure to save you something really tasty."
"Will it has chocolate?" Glossaryck hovered over her.
"Of course."
Glossaryck smiled, "I guess I can leave you alone for a while, it doesn't look like you'll need me. Maybe take a nap or something. Maybe I'll go check up on Hekapoo or Omnitraxus or Lekmet."
Glossaryck floated away.
Sabrina shivered, he always made her uneasy.
Marco pondered the book, "Let's see I want to make something good and we probably have to make a lot since Star loves sweets almost as much as my parents. I also want to send some to Rhombulus and Lekmet. Maybe make a care package for Pony Head she probably needs some being in St. Olga's school for Wayward Princess."
A crack of thunder was heard, Sabrina looked out the window not even spotting a single cloud in the sky.
Marco continued his list, "I should make some for Tom too. Then I should make some for Mina and the others. Maybe some for Miss Skullnick too, I still feel bad about turning her into a troll."
Sabrina couldn't help but smile, how thought of Marco to try and make everyone he knew happy. Sabrina was still not sure about who some of those people were, like who was called Pony Head or Rhombulus.
"I have an idea," Sabrina offered up, "lets make a lot of things and we can mix them up and send several packages out. Everyone gets a little of everything we make. We have enough time to make a lot of stuff."
"I do like the idea of trying out a lot of things." Marco admitted, "there were a lot of interesting recipes. But we are gonna have to make a lot."
So they started, they spent the next few hours baking all sorts of goodies. They talked about all sort of things, Marco's life growing up on Mewni.
About how he, Pony Head, and Tom went to one of the nearby forest to explore together when they were young. Marco even admitted that he didn't have a lot of friends and found companionship with the animals of the forest. That he'd often spend his days playing with some of the forest animals.
"Sometimes it seems I was better with animals than people." Marco admitted, "It's probably why most of the spells are summons that look like animals."
"I understand that too." Sabrina admitted shyly, "I was really nervous when I was small. I found it hard to speak up, sometimes I wouldn't talk for days. Some people started to think I couldn't talk. There was someone I could talk to, my mom had this parrot Mister Paw-Paw. Mister Paw-Paw was old parrot and couldn't talk anymore. I don't know, having someone else that couldn't talk made me feel safe and comfortable, like I wasn't alone. I found myself talking to him, I don't know it was easier, knowing he wasn't going to say anything. He let me get confident enough to talk to people."
"Well, I'm glad, I like talking to you."
A wide smile spread across her lips, she normally couldn't find courage to talk to many people but with Marco it was easy. People ignored her or walked over her but not Marco… with Marco she actually felt like a princess.
They actually had fun just baking and chatting all the while. They packed away everything in boxes and marked them off, Marco planning to send them out later. After finishing up a large chocolate cake for Glossaryck even writing his name in blue frosting, they sat down and had some of their snacks.
Marco paused trying to say soemthing, "Sabrina, there is another reason why I invited you here today."
"Really?"
"There is something I wanted to say to you."
Sabrina found herself nervously tugging at the end of her pony tail, she tried not to get her hopes up but she couldn't help but wish he'd ask her out.
"I'm sorry."
"Huh?" Sabrina couldn't think of why he would apologize.
"I did some … less then proper things while I was going through Mewberty. More to it, I did something to you while like that and I can't stand doing something like that to a friend."
Sabrina blinked, "You mean making me all lovey-dovey?" Sabrina blushed at the thought.
"I meant… about touching your…" He motioned to her chest.
"Oh!" Sabrina had actually forgotten that. "No! It's not your fault- I mean- I grabbed your hand and put-" Sabrina was so embarrassed and found her arms crossing her chest. "I mean, we were both acting strangely. It's not anyone's fault."
Marco was blushing himself, "I agree, but I think I still need to make it up to you. I'm the one who started up this whole situation. So, if you want anything tell me and I'll make it happen."
Sabrina stared at the prince before her, she did want something, she wanted to go on a proper date with him just to have fun with him. Her heart raced hoping to find the courage to just ask him.
Knock-knock.
They turned to the door that lead to the backyard, someone fiddling with the door knob. "Open!"
Marco walked over with Sabrina close by, he opened it up to find Ludo and his monster there.
"Hi!" Lobster claws waved.
Ludo smacked his monster.
"We've come to take the wand from you!" Ludo announced.
"Why now?" Marco questioned him.
"I have been waiting for the perfect time."
It wasn't exactly a lie. Since Mina had become a knight for Marco Buff Frog was finding it hard to spy on him. Every once in a while Mina would do a pass by to see if Marco was safe. Mina almost caught him on her first day but Buff Frog managed to escape into a portal at the last second. The same thing happened around Marco's school, so no attacking there.
They were tempted to attack while Marco was going through Mewberty and everyone was distracted but Marco was too unpredictable and frankly scary at the time.
Today was a bit different.
"Your knight isn't around." Ludo announced.
"You mean Mina?"
"Your crazy guardian no where to be seen."
"Star?"
"Neither are the Loud One or the Scary One."
"Brittney and Janna? Why is Janna the scary one?"
Buff Frog answered that one, "She keeps sneaking into the house, one night she stared at me from the window and was trying to put a dark curse on me."
All the monsters all seemed uneasy at that.
Ludo continued, "All you got with you is the Timid One, what is she good for?"
Sabrina shrunk at the unkind words.
Ludo just kept going, "You are by yourself and we out number you."
Sabrina felt horrible, she couldn't help him.
Marco stood before Sabrina as he held up his wand. "Don't you ever talk about my friends like that."
Ludo snickered, "Did a touch a nerve?"
"Also, I'm never alone."
"Guardian of Stone" Marco raised his wand as it began to glow and he felt his words charged with power, "rise and crush the enemies that stand before me."
The ground shook as suddenly between the monsters and Marco stood a two story tall warrior made of stone.
"My teachers have been getting me to get ready for fights." Marco explained, using a bit of magic to jump onto the giant's shoulder, "One of them taught me a spell crafted by the Great-Great grandmother. Meet my stone knight Arthur."
Ludo gulped and rushed behind Buff Frog, "What are you waiting for? Get him!"
"How-" Buff didn't finish his sentence as he was forced to jump out of the way of the stone giant's step.
These guys were crafted to defend fortresses from Armies, it was actually a kinda hard spell to manage. Marco was just so used to summoning it that with some practice with Glossaryck he managed it. The problem was that these guys weren't fast. That didn't matter as he was fight so few in an enclosed space, the backyard. All he really had to do in this small space was stay by his spells and direct it.
Honestly Marco was going a little overboard with this spell, he just got angry when he heard Ludo say Sabrina was good for nothing.
The group shook with every step and the monsters were all scattering around, a few of the braver or stupider ones tried to climb on him but were just swatted away.
Lobster Claws was busy trying to climb the fence and escape when Ludo got an idea. This might be the best distraction, he opened up a small portal and reach through.
The other end opened up behind Marco and he felt a small hand tug on his wand.
"Come on!"
"Hey let that go." Marco tugged back on the wand unwilling to lose it so easily.
"Buff frog help!"
The frog Monster quickly grabbed his boss to try and help him.
The tug of war continued, "Master Ludo let go!"
"Why-" He let go since the stone giant was about to step on them. The moved out of the way and the sudden release made Marco lose his balance and started slipping off the giants shoulder.
"Let's get out of here while we can!" Ludo opened a portal to his castle and all the monsters raced into it.
"No!"
Marco tried to grabbed on the giant but had lost his grip and fall.
"Marco!" Sabrina raced to him desperate to catch him.
Didn't work out so well as he fell right on her.
0000
A few minutes later inside, Marco had helped Sabrina into a chair. Sabrina was trying to hold back tears as she held her arm.
"Marco… I think I broke it." She hissed at the pain.
Marco gulped seeing the arm twist in an odd direction.
Guilt quickly set in, he wanted her to come over to do something nice for her but now he hurt her!
"I can heal it! Just give me a second!"
Marco rushed up to his room.
It wasn't a lie, sort of, since he started training with Mina Glossaryck had started to teach him a few healing spells just incase he got hurt. They hadn't gotten very far, mostly healing small injuries and certainly never mending bones. But Marco was desperate to try. He found his book and flipped through it, "Glossaryck, oh… he actually went to check up on the commission." He flipped through the pages and finally found a spell that looked right. "Hm, it looks like its in an ancient language."
Even before he got his wand his mom and Glossaryck had started to give him some teaching on magic and that included learning some ancient languages. They wanted him to be prepared for it when the time came. Still, he could only barely make out what the spell was about, he could make out the words, 'Bones heals' and that was enough.
Marco carried the book down stairs and as soon as he got to the kitchen dropped it on the kitchen table. "Okay give me a minute." Marco raised the wand, "Releaseseo Demonius Infestica!"
Swirling light shot out of his wand hitting.
"I think it's working!"
The light faded away leaving Sabrina with a tentacle instead of a broken arm.
"Aaaaah!"
"Aaaaah!"
The teens screamed and before she realized the tentacle wrapped around Marco and tossed him aside. The monster arm flailed around smacking at everything. Her new arm was about to squash the freshly made cake but found it stopping.
"Look, I'll allow a lot but I won't allow an innocent cake getting squashed." Glossaryck floated nearby holding out his hand creating an invisible shield around the cake.
"Glossaryck!" Marco said happily,
"Oh, look it has my name on it." Glossaryck looked over the cake, he seemed happy, more happy that Marco could remember him being.
The monster arm shrunk back to Sabrina and cowered behind her.
Glossaryck ran his finger over the cake and sampled it, "Oh delicious! Chocolate! Where have you been all my life?" He then turned to the prince and the girl who seemed to be in shock.
"By the way why does she has a monster arm?" Is this a commitment issue thing, Marco? Yes, it would be very taboo for you two to get together but honestly I think you two would be such a cute couple anyway."
"What?" Marco said unsure what he meant, his head hurt from being slammed around. "I was trying to heal her broken arm and this happened." Marco held out the book.
Glossaryck looked over the open page, "Huh, Marco this isn't a healing spell this is a curse and a nasty one at it."
"What?" The teens shouted in unison.
"Didn't you read the spell?"
Marco told him, "Its said it healed bones."
"The whole things reads: To be cast in the rare instances when you need to heal a broken bone and infect the host with a demonic tentacle virus." Glossaryck told him, "Stage one: Bones healed. Stage two: Virus braids itself into the host's skeletal system. Stage three: Healed bones "hatches" into a-"
"Tentacle!" Marco shouted, "I get it, I screwed up! I'm sorry, please fix it."
"Marco I see that you are truly sorry about this but that's not how I work and you know it. I'm a teacher and you won't learn anything if I just fix your problems." Glossaryck flipped the pages of the book to a new spell, "Though I will show you what you need to do to fix it."
Marco read over the spells, "Returneo Aremo Normalredicus."
Marco raised his wand to try and cast the spell, Sabrina stopped him, "Maybe you should try it out first."
Marco cringed knowing she'd lost some trust in him, not that he blamed her.
"It's probably a good idea, " Glossaryck pulled over a house plant and as Marco got ready Glossaryck cut himself a slice of cake and started eating, "oh so good. Is there a pudding layer? Just delightful."
"Returneo Aremo Normalredicus."Marco fired the spell at the plant and it caught on fire.
Between bites Glossaryck said, "I'll get the fire extinguisher."
The tentacle slapped Marco.

The Butterfly family walked through the front door, they brought in some leftovers.
Star rubbed her cheeks, she loved her grandmother but she always pinched her cheeks so hard.
Star sniffed the air, "Hey I smell cake."
"I do too" River perked up.
The pair walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Marco," Star announced holding up the left overs, "We brought back-"
They quickly found a tendril sprouting from Sabrina's arm wrapped around Marco smacking him about.
They pulled Marco away and he explained the situation to them.
"Don't worry I'm sure Marco will have you back to normal in no time." Star assured Sabrina.
"My mom is going to freak out when she sees this." The tentacle wriggled. "She's never going to let me see you again!"
"Uh, oh!" Star got an idea, "Why don't you stay over with us for the night? Marco will probably have the spell down by tomorrow."
"Yes, of course, you are welcome to stay as long as you need to." Moon told her.
She could tell that it would devastate both Marco and Sabrina not being allowed to see each other. She had confidence that Marco would be able to sort this out.
0000
Star make it seem like a sleep over, she helped Sabrina do her homework. They rolled in a rollaway bed into Star's room. Sabrina borrowed a pair of pajamas and got ready for sleep.
As they got ready for bed they could hear Marco blasting magic in his room as he tried to get the spell.
"Don't worry I'm sure Marco will get it." Star tried to reassure Sabrina as she looked up at the ceiling.
"I hope so." Sabrina couldn't help but stare at her new arm.
"So, you like-like Marco?" Star turned to her trying to keep her mind off the monster arm.
"Wh-what?!"
"Oh, please, I can tell you like him."
"B-but-"
"I didn't realize it at first," Star told her, "I mean, everyone has been so nice to Marco. Janna has been nice with him always around him and talking to him and showing movies. Brittney is always super nice, offering him gifts and trip and just being sweet. But unlike them you have a crush on him!"
Sabrina stared at her host with an incredulous look, did she really not realize the others liked Marco too.
"But you have a crush on him!" Star said all excited, "Your eyes sparkle when he's talking to you."
Sabrina blushed hearing that.
"I mean, yeah Marco has a crush on Jackie and Mina but you totally have a shot!"
"Uh, really?"
"Yeah, Marco has a thing legs and you have very pretty legs."
"Really?" Sabrina looked down at her legs.
"Yeah."
Sabrina shook her head, "I know I don't have a chance. Brittney is stylish and confident, she could fit easily with those royal high society types. Janna can be creepy but also passionate and doesn't care what people think of her. Jackie is always so cool and calm. Mina is this cool knight! And… I'm just me... why would Marco bother with me?"
"Because you're sweet and nice and likes spending time with you. Marco has a hard time opening up to people but he doesn't have any trouble talking to you. I'm his bestie and it took him a little bit to be comfortable with me."
Sabrina looked up at the ceiling taking in Star's words. Did she has a shot with someone as amazing as Marco?
She swatted away the tentacle that had started to wrap around her leg.
"Thank you Star." Sabrina whispered.
Before Star could say anything there was a loud explosion from Marco's room and the sensation of the house shaking.
That was followed by Marco screaming and Glossaryck's voice, "Okay, maybe this would be a good opportunity to teach you how to summon water."
0000
Showering was weird, and the less said about that the better. Sabrina was borrowing some clothes from Star for the day. They had hoped that Marco would be able to change her arm back by the morning but it didn't seem to be the case.
When they arrived at the breakfast table they found Marco zonked out. His eyes looked ready to shrivel up, he looked less like a prince and more of a zombie.
"Marco, you okay?" Star questioned.
Marco fell face first into his bowl of cereal.
Glossaryck floated next to him holding a cactus now shaped like a human hand. "Yeah, he made a lot of progress with the spell. I would say he'll have it down in a few hours. " The blue man poked the prince. "Yeah, but he's gonna need some sleep. He didn't sleep a moment last night."
"What are we going to do?" Sabrina worried the monster arm flailing by her side.
Moon took a deep breath, "You're both going to relax and have breakfast. And Then I'm going to drop you off at school."
"What?" Sabrina shouted.
"I know this won't be... easy but you can't miss school. Besides, from what Star has told us most of the school is used to magical things. It shouldn't be much of an issue. As for Marco we should let him get some sleep. River you can drop him off later, right?"
River was pulling Marco from out of his milk, "Yes, I don't think it would be much of a problem."
Sabrina didn't like the idea but didn't say anything.
0000
"Just try to be positive." Star told Sabrina as they arrived at school.
And... nothing happened, after Marco turned a teacher into a troll no one even noticed so much of the strange things that occurred.
Sabrina didn't even get noticed until lunch. She was having lunch with Star who was trying to keep her spirits up.
As they looked for a table, they heard a loud noise.
"What's the most important meal of the day?" They found Lars the local bully picking on Francis.
"Uh, I don't know."
Lars slammed his meal down on the floor, "Its breakfast! Laugh!"
Francis forced out a chuckle.
No one really liked Lars, he just happened to scare everyone so no one really stood up for him, especially as he went to pick on those who could never defend themselves.
Suddenly something smacked Lars. "Who did that?"
Sabrina turned to her arm who had smacked him. "Uh, it — it it- wasn't me."
Lars smiled, "If you think I won't hit a girl-"
The tentacle smacked him again, then again before picking him up and throwing him in to the trash. Then moving over the Francis whipping some of the food that got splashed onto him.
Sabrina stared in surprise, then shook as the whole lunch room broke into applause for her. Sabrina didn't know how to take any of this.
"Cool arm." Sabrina found herself being complimented by Jackie.
"That's awesome!" Janna practically tackled her, "This is Marco's work, isn't?" Janna started to cuddled it.
"Yeah," Sabrina answered not realizing Hope had joined her in cuddling her arm.
People cheered for Sabrina.
"I wonder if I can get Marco to do this to me too." Janna thought loud.
0000
After Marco woke up and took a cup of coffee as River suggested he got back to work.
River and Glossaryck hid behind the couch Marco raised his wand at the next potted plant.
"Returneo Aremo Normalredicus."
No explosion this time, slowly the potted flower was replaced by a small arm rising out of it. The hand gave him a thumbs up.
"I did it!"
"Great!" River cheered, "Well, you missed lunch but I can probably get you before the last period."
0000
Brittney stared at the tentacle arm that her subordinate had, she didn't like it. She didn't like hearing that Sabrina spent the night at Marco's despite actually staying in Star's room. She was overly upset.
She rubbed her chin as she tried to figure this all out.
Sabrina's new arm was gross but it was also able to carry the rest of the cheer squad like they were nothing. Even now Brittney watched as Sabrina effortlessly raised the other girls.
"I suppose we don't have much a choice." Brittney had to admit, "We can't afford to lose a member so soon with the judge coming over after school."
Sabrina blinked, "That's today?"
Today was the day a judge was going to come in and watch the squad perform and if they passed mustard the girls would be eligible to go to a cheerleading meet next month. Besides Brittney's usual pride and drive to be the best and to get a trophy to that effect, Brittney couldn't pass up on the chance to improve their standing and it would mean more money for the squad activities. They could get new uniforms and new and better equipment. Brittany wanted that badly.
"I suppose we have to come up with a new routine." Brittany was having a hard time even saying the words, "I think you're going to have be in the center."
"Really?" Sabrina's eyes glimmered, she had always been in the back ground a never gotten a chance to really stand out in their performances.
"Yes," Brittney sighed, "that new arm might be gross but it's strong and it will bring focus, we have to use that for us. And since you can lift the whole squad like nothing we can use it. Don't blow it."
"Sabrina!" Marco burst in with Star close behind him. "I got the spell, I can get you arm back to normal."
"Yeah looky!" Star held out a pot with a hand sticking out of it. The hand gave them a small wave.
"Marco darling," Brittney paused looking at Marco, "Are you all right?"
"I slept two hours, I used a lot of magic , and I think the only reason I'm still standing is because of all the sugar in my cereal and the coffee Mister Butterfly gave me."Marco's hand was shaking a lot.
"You might want to sit down, maybe take a nap." Brittney spoke her voice peppered with worry.
"I will." Marco told her, "First I have to change that arm back to normal."
"No!" Sabrina yelled as she held the tentacle arm. "This tentacle is the best thing that has ever happened to me! People are paying attention to me! People are respecting me! I'm not going to let you just take it from me"
Marco was startled, in fact everyone was, none of them could remember a time when Sabrina raised her voice like that.
Sabrina walked away, with a Brittney style hair flip as she exited.
0000
Marco left soon after that, the cheerleaders finished up their practice and set out their new routine. Brittney planned on going to Marco afterwards to apologize for Sabrina, mostly because it would make her seem kinder and get a chance to spend some more time with him. She also planned on talking to Sabrina about being so rude, she might not be dating Marco but she still felt like she needed to defend him. But she planned on doing so later there was no reason to throw Sabrina off her game until after the judge came to see their routine.
Meanwhile Sabrina waited alone in the changing room.
"I can't believe Marco wanted to take this away from me. He didn't even ask, like he's right all the time!"
There was a strange sound of flesh cracking as a wide grin and eyes formed on the tentacle.
"He's just jealous." The tentacle spoke with a smooth feminine and oddly British voice.
"You can talk!"
"Yes, and I can help you out."
"You can?"
"Of course, what is it you want?"
"Uh,"
"You want to be popular, you want to be noticed, and you want the boy."
"Well…"
"Now what stands in your way?"
"Uh,"
"Brittney Wong."
"I don't know about that, she's my friend."
"And she treats you like a foot stool."
"She's only done that twice."
"She has the need to be the center of attention, no one will notice you while she's around. Marco won't ever notice you."
"…"
"And what about the other girls who cling to him? Janna, she's always round him teasing him and stealing his things to make her own. How long until she decides to take him for herself."
"I guess-"
"What about Jackie? You know he has a crush on her. She's so cool you can't stand out with her around." The tentacle whispered to her, "We have to get rid of them and we will get everything you ever wanted. We will get you your prince."
"And Mina too! Marco might still have a crush on her!"
"Whoa! Let's save her for later. I mean, let's not deal with the crazy super knight. I mean she's not even here to day. Let's focus on the other girls."
"Yeah, okay, how about Star?"
"I mean, she was really supportive about you trying to date him. I think they're just friends. But, let's go with the safe side and take her out too and the rest of the cheerleaders. Chantel shook her booty at him. They must all be gotten rid off."
"Yeah!" Sabrina cheered.
"We will take everyone out! You will be the most popular girl at the school!"
"Yeah!"
"We will get you Marco!"
"Yeah!"
"Then we will slaughter all of humanity and feast on their bowels!"
"Ye-wait, what was that?"
"Huh, I meant, we will win the cheerleading competition!"
"Yeah!"
0000
Brittney was busy trying to keep the judge there, "Miss Hill, we're just waiting for out last member. She should be here any moment."
"I will give you five more minutes, Miss Wong. But if she isn't here and you can't perform I will be forced to disqualify you." The Judge told her.
Nearby in the gym bleachers Marco tried not to fall asleep.
Janna and Jackie had to help Star bring in Marco.
"Are you sure you don't want us to walk you home?" Jackie looked at Marco. "You look like your ready to drop."
"No, no I'm fine." Marco shook his head, "I'm going to support Sabrina and Brittney."
"Are you sure?" Janna gave him a small smack to keep him awake, "I mean, I heard Sabrina snapped at you."
"Yeah, never thought I'd see that." Star agreed, "I'm starting to think that tentacle is a bad influence on her."
"Talking about that tentacle," Janna began, "is there any chance I could get you to give me one of those too."
The bags under Marco's eyes really focused Marco's glare.
Before he could answer from the other side of the gym the door was slammed open. Sabrina stood there with her tendril wriggling as she looked around.
"About time you show!" Brittney yelled at her.
"Brittney Wong!" Sabrina yelled out before the tentacle stretched out and grabbed her.
"Let me go this instace-" Brittney stopped at she felt the tentacle squeeze her.
"I am done listening to you!" Sabrina growled at her. "Now for the rest of you!"
Quickly the Tentacle snaked through the air grabbing the other cheerleaders, Jackie, Janna and Star.
Marco had fallen asleep and just fallen to his side just snoring away.
"You have them all!" The Tentacle told Sabrina, "Now let's finish it. Destroy them! Eat their bowels!"
"What?" Sabrina shouted.
"No, I need my bowels!" Brittney let out.
"Whoa! I just wanted to be a little more popular and get some more attention and treated a little nicer. I didn't want to eat any bowels."
"You're useless. I'll just do it myself." Tentacle opened wide its mouth.
The girls started to scream, Sabrina started to smack at it with her good arm.
"Marco! Wake up!" Star shouted, "Oh, what was that trick Pony Head told me about… Hey Marco Princess Puri Puri Pearl just invited you for a beach party! She's going to be showing off her new bikini!"
Marco snapped up awake, He blinked twice, "What's going on?"
"And whose this Puri Puri Pearl?" Janna questioned.
"We'll get her too." The Tentacle assured her.
"What's going on?!" Marco looked around.
"Oh, yeah, this happened faster than should have. The girl must be easily swayed." Glossaryck popped out of Marco's hood.
"What are you doing here?"
"Oh, yeah, I figured you might need me so I decided to tag along in you hoodie. Now, as for your first question the curse is about to finish stage four and is entering stage five."
"What? What was stage was a talking tentacle?"
"Stage 3, you stopped me before I finished. Stage three: Healed bone "hatches" into a sentient tentacle being. Followed by stage four: tentacle being turns evil, implants negative and destructive thoughts into the mind of the host, causing them to behave in erratic, possibly lethal ways. Stage five: tentacle being eventually takes over the control of the host. It all ends with stage six where the host dies."
Sabrina paled hearing that.
"Yeah, never mind about giving me a tentacle arm." Janna gulped, "It's been nice knowing you Sabrina."
"Marco, right now might be the best time to use that spell." Glossaryck in formed him as she hovered onto the bleachers.
"Arm-" Marco didn't get to finish the spell as the tentacle flung the girls it had capture at him.
"Levitato!" Marco changed spells quickly levitating all the girls and bring them to the floor safety. As she sighed in relief it was short lived as the tentacle grabbed him instead.
"I'll just have to take you out first." The tentacle's smiled spread wide.
It slammed Marco onto to the ceiling before throwing him down to the ground with a loud crash.
"Marco!" Most of the gym yelled out.
There was a crack and Marco got up, "Ow! That wasn't pleasant, but it woke me up and I think it got the kink out of my neck."
"What?" Jackie stared in shock.
"He's not human," Glossaryck told him, "he is Mewman and a bit tougher than you run of the mill human. Plus his family tends to have the blessing from Old Frill Neck. They can take a hit but I wouldn't press his luck."
"Returneo Aremo Normalredicus!" Marco yelled out raising his wand.
The tentacle dodged the magic blast dragging Sabrina along. Marco fired several more shots and the monster arm continued to dodge.
"Stay still!"
Each missing blast struck something and turning it into an arm, a hand ball became an actual hand.
The tentacle stretched out into the rafters dragging Sabrina along, swinging her despite how much she was yelling.
Marco usually had better aim but after getting so little sleep and hitting his head recently it was failing.
"Shame really," Glossaryck mused out loud, "considering how effective the curse is on that girl I'd give her another five minutes. Lady Death should probably be getting a reaper ready to pick her up. Hm, too bad she and Marco would have made a cute couple. I could just see it, them getting married and having a couple of rugrats. Sabrina would make them pudding cakes all the time and I could sneak some."
"Wait, what about what?" Star look at the little man in horror.
"She makes good cakes which she won't be able to do when she's dead."
"What?" Jackie panicked,
"Yeah, the curse will soon override her mind leaving nothing but her body controlled by the monster arm. And the body will go the way of her mind in a few hours. Sure, Marco could probably reverse it now but he'd need to land a shot."
Marco continued to fire hoping to strike the ever wiggly arm.
Sabrina's mind felt strange, everything was feeling cloudy.
"Ah! Marco fire!" Sabrina blinked as she found Star jumping on her trying to keep her from being dragged along.
"Do it!" Janna jumped on the tentacle trying to wrangle it.
Soon Jackie grabbed her legs trying to pull her down.
"You three girls think you will be enough to stop me?" The tentacle rolled it's eyes. It grabbed one of the ceiling rafters ready to pull Sabrina away.
"No, you don't!" Chantel jumped on Sabrina.
The other cheerleader jumped on her pulling her down.
Sabrina felt Brittney's arms wrap around her, "You might be the worst cheerleader on the squad but you're my cheerleader, and I'm not going to let talking hentai material steal from me!"
The monster arm huffed finding all the extra weight a bit difficult to move.
Now with the appendage still Marco raised his wand again, "Returneo Aremo Normalredicus!"
As the magic struck the tentacle it dropped the girls as it began to shrivel.
"Ack! You'll never get rid of me! I'm apart of you now!" it began to fade and its voice began to get high-pitched, "You can treat the symptoms, but you'll never cure the viruuuus…!"
Sabrina's hand snap back to normal and with another snap it hung at a strange angle still broken.
Sabrina groaned in pain.
"Brilliant!" The judge let out, "Very creative, very avant-garde, what a wonderful performance. Not many performances go out to tell a lesson about the how our own selfishness and corrupt us and how only through the kindness of our friends can we be saved."
"Ah, sure," Brittney quickly agreed.

At the nurse's office everyone got patched up, they mostly just had a few bruises. Sabrina had the worse of it with her broken arm. But since Sabrina enrolled in the school the nurse had become very good at treating broken bones. Marco and the rest waited to see Sabrina.
"Ugh," Marco groaned, "this is all my fault, maybe I should go back to Mewni before I hurt some else!"
"No!" the girls let out.
"Are you kidding me?" Nurse Batterbrook walked out of the office. "Sabrina is probably safer with you around."
"What?" Marco was finding it hard to believe at the moment.
"Since the day you brought her in she's stop coming her as often. Some days she doesn't come in at all."
"Yeah, come to think of it," Star rubbed her chin, "didn't she trip on the on the stairs the other day but you used that levado-potatoe spell to get her before she hit the ground?"
Janna added, "Didn't you also notice a crack on the ceiling above her desk? You told her moved to move and caught the janitor to look at it, soon as he poked at it fell all over her desk. Would have hit her if you didn't do that."
"And last week you pulled her away from before a roof tile slipped off the roof and hit her." Jackie told Marco.
"And you pulled her out of the street when that car didn't stop at the light," Chantel remembered that incident.
"And you told her not to get the lunch room meat loaf," Brittney recalled, "you said it looked wrong, and you were right half of the people who ate it got sick."
The other cheerleaders started to come up with examples, since Sabrina tried to hang around Marco and he had a talent to noticed the danger that naturally popped up around her he was able to stop them.
"You see Marco," Star smiled, "you actually save her."
Marco smiled, trying to find some solace at that. "Can I talk to her?"
The nurse said it was fine and he went in.

"I am so sorry!" Marco couldn't help but apologize over and over again.
"Marco, it was an accident and besides this happens to me all the time." Sabrina pointed to her new cast.
"Still, I want to make it up to you." Marco was struck with inspiration, "How about I help you out while you have the cast? I'll help carry your books to your classes and I'll help you with anything you need. I'll get your lunch and everything."
"Ah, will you eat lunch with me too?"
"Of course, I'll stay by you as much as I can and get you anything you need."
"Yeah," Sabrina blushed, "I think that would be nice."

Some time later Star walked into the nurse office, "Hey Marco, are you ready to go home?"
Star quickly found Sabrina on the bed resting from the long day and to Star's surprise she found Marco had fallen asleep next to her. Their head leaning against each other as they slept, a grin forming on the cheerleader's face.
Star smiled at the cute pair, "I guess Glossaryck was right they do make a cute couple, plus the cake would be nice."
Star also noticed a small mole on Sabrina's arm, "did she always have that?"
