So before we get started let me just clear one thing, this whole thing is about young Star and Marco but this story will consist of all the other characters. Like in today's chapter... see what I did there I led you in.

Star vs. the Forces of Evil is owned by Daron Nefcy & Disney

At Echo Creek Elementary we see Star and Marco sitting on a bench outside waiting for their ride. While they wait the two would discuss the project they had for class tomorrow.

"I can't believe Miss Skullnick gave us another project to do!" Star complained.

"Technically this project is for you and your bad grade." Marco explaining the situation. "I'm only assigned with you to make sure you actually do a good job."

"What's that suppose to mean?" She said putting her hands on her hip.

"Star don't you remember your other projects?"

FLASHBACK: First grade project

The project was to see how strong the bond between the pet and the owner was. When it was her time to present Star was so eager to show her class her laser puppy.

"Notice how my puppy doesn't blast me, that's real trust."

Now what she said was true, but once the pup made it's way to the other students things played out differently. Everyone that wasn't Star got blasted by the laser from the puppy's eye, causing chaos.

"Guess I need to work on that." She said in a embarrassed tone while turning to Miss Skullnick.

"STAR BUTTERFLY!" Skullnick angrily shouted.

FLASHBACK: Second grade project

The project this time was to present some sort of plant life to the class. When it was Star time she carried to the front of the class a flower pot with a red rose in it.

"Hope you all like it cause I got this from my dimension and the cool part is that it came from the Forest of Certain Death!"

After saying that the plant jumped out of the pot and formed into a man sized, green, centipede-like monster. Wasting no time the monster went after the children causing chaos once again.

"Don't worry I can handle that!"

"STAR BUTTERFLY!"

FLASHBACK: Third grade project

This project now had the kids bring in someone who could protect them. Now when it was Star's time she didn't have her father because he was busy, so for substitute she had her royal guard babysitter.

"He taught me everything I need to know to defend myself." Star told the class.

"That's right kids, anyone one of you would like to know how to snap a neck?" The guard asked.

"Well it isn't by standards, but it will pass for a C." Skullnick said as she reached for the pen.

Seeing her reach for the pen, the guard immediately got defensive around Star.

"Stand back young princess I'll protect you from this attack!" The guard told her as he made a dive towards Skullnick.

"What's going on?" The teacher's last word before she was tackled.

"You know what they say the pen is mightier than the sword." Star said in a nervous tone knowing what's coming next.

"STAR BUTTERFLY!"

PRESENT DAY

"Those memories coming back to you now?"

"Yeah...but I did pass them all and made it here now." Star replied to her friend.

"Barely and I think Skullnick can't take another disaster from you!"

"Relax Marco what's the worst old Skullnick can do?"

"She could talk to the principal and have you removed from the school." The safe kid explained.

"Your right!" She gasped. "Are we positive that lady is not a troll in disguise?"

"Star focus."

"Okay, so I'm making a baking soda volcano?"

"Yes and that means no actual lava got it." Marco told her making sure she got the point.

"That's no fun but okay, hey come by my house later tonight to help me?"

"I don't think that's a good idea, remember the last time I came over?"

FLASHBACK: Last week

Marco knocked on the door of his neighbors and answering it was King Butterfly.

"Aw Marco my boy how are you?"

"Good sir." The young replied back smiling.

"So how can I help you?"

"Oh Star invited me over to help her make na-" He stopped once he saw the king remove his coat and flex his right arm. "Chos, what's happening right now?"

"Marco I thought you could be trusted but I guess you need to know to." He said grabbing the boy.

"K-k-know what?"

"STAR IS TOO YOUNG FOR A BOYFRIEND!"

PRESENT DAY

"I think me and your dad still need to not see each other right now."

"Marco please for me?" Star asked using a really convincing smile.

Marco could have said no again, but seeing that smile with the one missing front tooth coming from his friend with blonde pigtails made him change his mind.

"Okay fine, I'll help." He stubbornly agreed.

"Yay and double yay here's our ride."

Coming to pick them up was a trained Warnicorn, as usual Star had no problem getting on the creature but Marco still struggled. They finally left but unknown to them that two figures in trench coats were watching from a distance. The two figures revealed themselves to be Ludo and Buff Frog.

"Did you hear that Buff Frog, now is the chance we can take that brat hostage and get the wand." Ludo said to him in a gleeful tone.

"Master our forces haven't recovered since the last time we tried to get the girl, don't you remember?" Buff Frog replied.

FLASH-

"ENOUGH, no more flashbacks!" The small little monster stopping the memories. "Fine I guess it's just you and me."

"Ludo with all due respect but going to apprehend the girl at home is bad idea, you have to consider the parents and guards there."

"Fine I'll just sneak in there and get the brat myself!" He said while also striking Buff Frog with his staff. "Anything else you have to say?"

"Why didn't we take action while they were by themselves?"

"SILENCE!"

Later that evening

Marco knocked on the door of the royal family and answering it once again was King Butterfly, who gave Marco a stern look once he saw him.

"Marco."

"We're just friends!" He whined.

"That's what you say now."

"Marco you're here." Star said happy to see her friend. "Come on lets go to my room and get to work on the project."

She grabbed his hand and took him to her room upstairs, taking a look back downstairs Marco could see the king look on him get worse. While they got busy on the project inside the castle house, outside we have Ludo on a wire trying to get to an open window.

"If you want something done right, you have to-" He stopped the moment he saw a crow block his way. "Out of the way!"

Ludo swatted at the bird but it flew out of the way of Ludo's attack. To get him back the bird got into Ludo's face and started to attack him, this made the monster fall and crash into the ground.

"On to plan B." He said picking his face up.

What plan B was Ludo climbing the castle house by hand, but plan B prove to be a difficult task. Why plan B was so tough, well one Ludo isn't actually physically fit to climb and the second reason he wasn't making any progress at all.

"Okay this is dumb, time for plan C." He said releasing his grip of the structure.

At that same moment the crow had return to attack Ludo.

"Again why!?"

Now plan C wasn't part of the traditional sneaking and entering methods. The reason for this is because Ludo was going to use a jetpack he got from Quest Buy to get inside.

"This can't possibly fail!" Ludo said activating his jetpack. "Wait a minute, I don't know how to fly this thing."

That was his last words as he went flying into the sky uncontrollably and screaming for dear life. Back inside we have Star and Marco completing the volcano.

"And we are done." Marco said laying back on the floor.

"Yeah, but nothing exciting happen." Star pouted.

"Oh come on, a job well done is exciting and plus nothing bad hap-"

At that very moment something came crashing through Star's ceiling and landed on the volcano. When the dust finally cleared Star and Marco saw that it was Ludo on their broken volcano. Before either could react a knock was heard behind Star's door.

"Star everything okay in there, you need me to toss Marco out of the house?" King Butterfly asked repeatedly knocking on the door.

"No dad I'm fine." The young princess said in a calm manner.

"He was going to do what!?" Marco said in shock.

Hearing the okay from his daughter and with his wife giving him a look he decided to head back down stairs. Back into the room the kids would put their attention back on the monster.

"What are you doing here Ludo and why did you destroy my volcano?"

"I came to kidnap you dummy, now surrender!" Ludo demanded as he completely ignored the other thing Star had said.

"Why should we surrender, it's just you." Marco stating the obvious.

Hearing that Ludo remembered that his army wasn't with him so he had no other plan to do.

"I didn't plan ahead."

"Well I'm about to, Marco go get the paint." She said pointing to her closet. "Now instead of telling my parents on you, I'm actually going to need your help with something."

The next day

In class the kids were presenting their cause and effect projects and when it was Star's turn Skullnick groaned about what madness was about to happen. The class couldn't anticipate what Star had planned seeing what seems to be a cage, but a sheet was covering what was in it.

"I was originally going to do a volcano for the class, but I found something better." She told the class as she pulled the sheet off. "Behold this exotic flightless parrot!"

It was Ludo and he was painted with tons of colors all over his body.

"What makes him special is that due to being a flightless bird he can say a lot more than other parrots." She explained. "Watch, hey buddy what's up?"

"Next time buy instructions on how to fly." Ludo grumbled.

This made the whole class were amazed and clapped and Star's project.

"STAR BUTTERFLY!"

"What I do Miss Skullnick?"

"Sorry force of habit, you get an A, thanks for not causing mayhem again."

"It was no problem at all ma'am, ain't that right buddy?" Star asking Ludo with a sly muscle on her face.

"When is this day going to be over?"
