Strap yourselves in this is gonna be a long one, like 3-4 parts. I have a lot of story to get out as well as character interactions to put into place and I want to do it right.

To guest Daisy22bear if you are still reading, thank you for loving this enough to comment on it and you are the first person who commented to actually get the 'Frozen' reference; unless if they just didn't care about it which is understandable. Keep an eye out for references people, they are scattered all over the place.

Star skipped through the hallways to the principal's office feeling slightly worried but not about what she had done, rather more about what the principal needed. Mr. Lancer sometimes called Star in for help for some of the most unusual requests, mostly involving getting to know the student body better as he had 'trouble' doing that himself. He even had this book he read that made him use a mixture of slang that Marco said came from the 60's and 90's. Star shook her head at this chuckling slightly at how he was seeking vision from someone nearly blind herself. The help she gave him mostly came through Marco and her other earth friends given how she wasn't born on earth and she had been detached from society somewhat for most of her life. She got to the secretary who nodded plainly giving out an exasperated sigh.

"Thank you so much for coming, he really has trouble catching up at times and associating with kids." Star shrugged and spoke while opening the door.

"Hey, what are friends for?" She stepped into the office to see Mr. Lancer was scribbling something down on some paper before groaning in frustration and crumpling it up. "You need help sir?" Lancer nodded and threw the paper to the side where it bounced out of a pile that overflowed the garbage can.

"Yes unfortunately. Have you heard of the history event day coming up?" Star nodded and then shook her head no as he spoke. "Well it's basically where the school spends a whole day devoted to a single event or time period in history with activities surrounding it. The problem is when I tried coming up with ideas nothing seemed to stick as they had all been done before or were too 'commonplace' in my opinion. You are well read on earth history and know what kids are interested in, or at least know kids who know what kids are interested in, what would you suggest?" Star thought for a moment going over events in her mind.

"Well kids often get bored easily so we need to make it about an exciting event. We also need to make it unique like not about just the USA history as they might actually get bored of most stuff there." Lancer chimed in.

"We also need to make it kid appropriate so the parents don't write in anger letters or e-mails to the school. And it should also be something kids can easily latch onto if they don't know much about it or its context in history. Oh and optional, an anniversary of a special event of it should be occurring on the day." Star nodded and thought a second before asking him.

"What day is that by any chance?" Mr. Lancer, putting his head in his hands pointed to a calendar that showed it occurred in several days' time. After a few seconds calculations Star smiled slightly taking Lancer off guard with her question. "Does it have to be 'earth history' that's the center piece?"

Marco sat in the Gymnasium looking around as people murmured to each other curious as to what this was about. The Principal had just asked for a major assembly out of the blue with every student being made to come in. Like in most school assemblies at Echo Creek a beach ball was being thrown around with dull amusement by everyone; the teachers had tried to stop it in the past but eventually gave up as it was not worth the effort. He looked to his left and right seeing Alfonzo, Ferguson, Janna, and Jackie just as curious and confused as he was with Alfonzo speaking up.

"I've got a feeling this has to do with the history day event coming up in three days' time. What do you guys think?" Janna groaned in annoyance before speaking.

"That day man? A day that's supposed to be interesting winds up boring every single time because of the need to make it 'child friendly' so parents won't get mad. Can't we go into some cool history like the story of Erzsébet Báthory the blood countess from Hungary? That would make the day interesting." Ferguson smiled and responded eagerly.

"Well who doesn't want to learn about an actual vampire of real life?" Ferguson's and Janna's smiles faded however as reality set in with Jackie speaking up.

"I for one want people to know about the Bikini Atoll nuclear testing and how that messed up multiple sailors for life. But that would 'put our government in a bad light' according to people man." Everyone looked in shock at Jackie using a sarcastic and bitter tone of voice she used. "What, can't I be upset over something?" Marco shrugged before speaking.

"Well how about we branch out of US history for once and go somewhere else in the world, like maybe the Latin American countries and their revolutions against the Spanish?" Everyone gave Marco a weird look as he continued. "You 'gringos' have no idea of the history south of the border do you?" Everyone chuckled at that with Marco smiling. "No biggie, but like Janna and Ferguson reaching out to European history I think we should reach outside of the United States as well." Everyone nodded in consent to that as the principal spoke up at long last.

"Attention people, attention." The beach ball flew through the air at him which he caught effortlessly and set down with the kids ooohhing in respect. "Today the assembly is about the history day upcoming for our school and as such this will be my first day hosting such an event. I am hoping for participation by students for this event in all aspects and know that we will not have a repeat of the 'Salem Trials' like we did last year with our colonial event." The crowd giggled at this with Janna smirking at her part in the memory. "This year our event is actually being co-hosted by the student Star Butterfly as this event is not from earth." The whole crowd went silent and stared in shock as Lancer smiled. "Thought it was going to be a boring year eh? Well since I am not the expert I am going to allow Star to present the event to you with sign ups after she is finished." He nodded and stepped aside with Star coming up from the side to the microphone. Though the average person would not be able to tell Marco could tell that Star was very nervous given the way her tail was twitching and how she was glancing around. Somehow her eyes meet with his and he nodded smiling at her making her calm down slightly before speaking.

"*Ahem*" She blinked at the noise the microphone made in shock a second before speaking again. "Hello, um this event is actually several events that happened on the same calendar date in history which I will be explaining down the line. Let's start with the origin of the day we are celebrating which, by chance, actually occurs on the same day as the historical event." Students chuckled at that nudging each other as Star continued. "The day is known as 'Mewnipendance day' which was a day once celebrated by the first Mewman colonists arriving on Mewni to have life, liberty, and corn while fleeing some vicious wars of ideology." Students nodded along slightly bored at how similar it was it the colonization of the Americas but still intrigued. "However there was conflict between the Mewman colonists and the native Monster tribes that inhabited the region; think Native Americans and European colonists." Everyone nodded at that with the Native American kids sighing solemnly at this. "This day was most celebrated by my ancestors because that was the day we 'supposedly' beat back a massive invasion of Monsters that wished to push us from Mewni." The whole audience could tell where this was going as the crowd got suspicious looks on their faces. "But it was a trick pulled by the first queen of Mewni Stahlberg the Seafarer who merely massacred thousands of innocent children, elders, and noncombatants to get an edge over the Monsters in a war for dominance." Star's voice seemed to be cracking at this with the audience looking on in sympathy knowing that she was half-Mewman and half-Monster. "And since then it was paraded as a victory of civilization over barbarism."

The student body watched silently as Star composed herself waving off Lancer being waved off by Star as he tried coming up. After a moment of composing herself she began speaking again with a firm look on her face.

"However the symbology of that day changed 22 years ago. During that time princess Moon Butterfly, my mother, had discovered how the queens of Mewni were being used as pawns to oppress Mewmans and Monsters alike and waged a war to end that reign of oppression. Her first true victory happened on this day in an event known as the Ambush of the Thundering Falls! The day that was meant to cow Monsters in fear became the day of their greatest triumph and officially started the second event going on known as The War of Moonlight Shadow! The time when Mewmans and Monsters banded together to destroy the Shadow Clause, a group that had kept Mewni oppressed for nearly 300 years in a time known as 'The Twilight Peace' or nicknamed by many 'The Cobra's Peace'." The students were enraptured by Star's passion over this day and just at how cool the events sounded. "After her first victory my mom led the combined might of the people of Mewni to victory after victory showing people she was not just a spoiled child running away from responsibilities but someone to be respected for her dedication to the people of her kingdom."

"She is really getting into this." Marco commented with the other nodding at the passion and emotion now in Star's normally quiet voice.

"My mom officially won the first part of the war not one year later when Queen Willow Butterfly shook off the shackles the Shadow Clause had put on her and surrendered to mom without a fight. Since then my kingdom has thrived and because of the significance of this day I wanted to share it with you all; you who have treated me so nicely despite being a complete stranger." Everyone in the audience applauded at Star's smiling face. "Now I know this is asking a lot out of you people, but there is very little in terms of a school budget to make this an event that you would all deem adequate. So, will you help me host this event so I can teach you about how people can overcome oppression and build a better future for themselves?" At this the audience roared with approval applauding Star as she smiled at everyone happily with tears in her eyes before handing the microphone back to Lancer who began speaking.

"Alright people, if you want to sign up for participation just go to the…" He didn't finish his sentence however before kids flocked towards the sign up station where the secretary was looking at the rush in concern. "… LORD OF THE FLIES ease up kids, ease up!" Lancer leapt at the surging crowd in a vain attempt to contain it with Star rushing in to help him nervously. (end music)

SN: One brutal sign up process later

Marco and company walked over to the sign up area where Star was standing almost giddily looking over the list of people who signed up. Next to her the secretary was looking frazzled and Lancer was still trying to figure out what just happened. As they came up he turned to Star and outright asked her,

"What exactly just happened, I'm still trying to process it." Star giggled and looked up smiling as she responded.

"I just saved you several thousand dollars by getting people to sign up to help you out. This could be a great chance to 'get in the low' with the kids." Star noticed her friends coming up and smiled enormously. "Hey guys… where's Oskar?" Marco groaned and answered as the others chuckled.

"Skipping class… again. I don't care how nice he is that boy is one LAZY guy." Janna shrugged at that and put her arm around Marco before speaking.

"Hey, you're doting like a disappointed father again Marco; and what's more he will come to this event if we tell him how much it means to Star right?" Marco nodded begrudgingly with Janna slyly smiling. "So let's get signing up, I want to see if we do any battle reenactments." Alfonzo came up signing his name in while speaking.

"I wonder if some of Star's other world friends will come in and maybe get to see her actual parents as well." Star sighed shaking her head getting everyone's attention.

"Some people I know will come if I ask them but my parents have the kingdom's celebration of this event to plan out for." Everyone nodded in understanding with Star turning to Marco. "Say would you mind helping me in planning? I also want you be to be my partner for the final duel between the two queens's; I'll be mom and you can be grandma." Everyone chuckled at that with Marco giving Star a strange stare.

"Um, wouldn't a girl be a better person for that; and someone who can actually fight on your level?" Star got a sad face as she replied.

"But you are one of the best fighters at the school, you beat me off during Mewberty right?" Marco nodded begrudgingly. "And you can also pull off a dress better than most people in this school can, even the principal." Everyone blinked in shock and turned towards Lancer who chuckled at the comment.

"You are the first person in more than two decades who picked up on that Star. You know that picture on my desk that is of my sister?" Everyone nodded. "That's actually just me in a dress." Ferguson and Alfonzo stifled chuckles while Janna rolled on the floor in laughter with Jackie giving Marco an 'interested' look.

"So will you do it Marco?" Star faced him with big soft eyes going that beautiful purplish-green color that left Marco speechless for a minute before speaking.

"Of course I will Star, this day means so much to you and I want to learn more about the positive aspects of your world." Marco signed up with Jackie now looking a bit strained as she spoke.

"Say, are you sure you can handle this man?" Marco nodded looking up at her reassuringly.

"Don't worry, for once the 'safe kid' aura about me will actually help out for once." Jackie nodded before speaking.

"Say can I talk to you for a minute?" Marco came over with her to the side as everyone else signed up with Star bouncing around in joy. "Say, could you potentially get off early as you seem to be forgetting our…" Jackie trailed off with Marco smiling before speaking.

"I didn't forget about date night. Don't worry I will try to get off in time; and I'm sure I will be free throughout the day so we can have a Mewman history date. I just want to help Star with today as it means so much to her you know and I want to completely reassure Star she can trust me after that field trip incident. She kind of has trouble trusting people you know." Jackie nodded sympathetically. "This is Star and she will understand; she would do anything for me like I would do anything for her." Jackie smiled at Marco's enthusiasm only to get a slightly pained look on her face as Marco turned back and walked up to Star. "Say, what should be the main events?" Star turned towards Marco and began speaking fast.

"Well, first off we need to set up activities that will get kids to know Mewman life and…"

Dumnorix watched the screen with a mixture of suspicion and fascination as the image of Marco and Star talking about a school event played out. He had to admit it did prove rather useful to have something no one would suspect as an eye on their prize. He looked over to Mavis and Mildrew with the latter looking satisfied and the former looking… 'Not well in the slightest.' Dumnorix thought to himself. Mavis was red eyed and rubbing her nose slightly as she drank her tea a bit too eagerly with a strange chuckle that rattled her frame ever few seconds. She looked up at Dumnorix and smiled in a jittery fashion and spoke eagerly.

"This is brilliant is it not." Dumnorix went for a response when she paused but she cut him off. "Of course it is, we don't need to be in person to spy on her now. We can see her in any place and anytime that we wish too." Mildrew chuckled slightly and spoke.

"Indeed. Now we can get reports in immediately from the front and go into areas even Selene can't get too despite her stealth." He nodded in respect to an annoyed Selene who seemed to be poutting in the corner.

Mavis spoke up again eagerly. "Yes yes, we can see her anywhere. Her classroom, her bedroom, her living room, her closet, even in the bathroom." The trio in the room with her perked up at this uncomfortably and went to raise complaints.

"Uhhhhhh…"

"Well ok, maybe not there that's a bit extreme. But still we can see her anywhere." Mavis squirmed in her seat joyfully as she turned back towards Selene. "Hey you are still a warrior in arms with us my friend you are far from useless so stop pouting." Dumnorix noted the unusually harsh tone in Mavis's voice and noted down another thing off about her. "Mildrew, ready the warriors and give out our new plan." Mildrew nodded and bowed gracefully.

"It shall be done mylady." And with that he walked out of the room with Dumnorix and Selene following him. Looking back he saw Mavis in a jittery fashion drink from her cup with a look of annoyance on her face as if it wasn't satisfying for some reason. He turned to Selene and spoke softly to her.

"I have a bad feeling about Mavis, she is not acting 'normal' as one would say." Selene looked at him with a sour look on her face before replying.

"That's not what's annoying me, it's just this day in general so save your brotherly care for later." She split away from him leaving him worried for multiple reasons as Mildrew called out.

"Gather round warriors gather round, we have a new battle strategy to go over." Mildrew rallied the gang who came over from whatever they were doing in the common area with some calling out to others. "As you all know in several days' time is a holiday we all have 'complicated' emotions about, Mewnipendance day." The group moaned in protest with voices popping up.

"Solaria would be disappointed."

"What happened to Mewni for the Mewmans."

"Our greatest victory disgraced so pitifully."

"I lost my father and uncles in that ambush."

Mildrew quieted everyone down before speaking. "Well we all know about it and the fact that celebrations go on in many areas." The group groaned again with Mildrew now smiling. "Which is going to leave Star vulnerable." Everyone looked at him in interest as he continued. "Star will be surrounded by people who will defend her that day but she will not 'know' everyone she is surrounded by. And with adequate disguises some of us could sneak in and nab the wand undetected." Looks and voices of eagerness and concern came up with Mildrew cutting them off. "Now I know what you are thinking, how will we escape once we have the wand? Well instead of running off with it…" He brought up some sort of mace holding it aloft. "… why don't we just…" He pushed a button on it opening the head of the mace revealing a miniature dimensional portal. "… portal deliver it so we don't need to escape with it. Star will be less likely to pursue if we don't actually have what she wants." The group nodded in respect and began smiling at this with Mildrew turning now towards Selene. "As since you are our master in stealth, you will lead the retrieval." Selene smiled in a mean fashion mow rubbing her hands together before speaking.

"Oh, it would be a…" Mildrew held up his hand cutting her off.

"You will avoid combat at all costs, this mission relys on you not fighting. You will get your chance to fight the guardian but for now you must lay low." Selene nodded somberly at that with Mildrew pulling something out. "And you will need a disguise. Fortunately your frame means that people will mistake you for one of the kids so that should be no trouble." Selene's face went red with rage while the other warriors backing away in fear as she looked at the frilly dress Mildrew held. Before she could speak Dumnorix spoke up.

"Um, perhaps a different style of clothes would be best as formal wear is not being used for this event from what I can tell." Mildrew looked at him nodding in acknowledgement with an almost bewildered look on his face as if he should have thought of that.

"Indeed… I leave the choice of wear up to you Dumnorix. You… pick whomever you deem best to provide support in case you need to retreat." He bowed to him before walking off with everyone looking up at Dumnorix and Selene speaking.

"So… what do you have in mind?" Dumnorix watched Mildrew shake is head in confusion as if asking how he got to where he was before replying.

"Ok, so this is going to be a family event as far as we can tell so we need people who can either go individually as kids or as a family group..."
