WH: Narrator, you're up again get moving!

SN: Going Hippie. *Moves out with OP looking at me in concern.*

OP: Are you sure this format of letting people know who is speaking will work.

WH: *shrugs* You got a better idea to juggle 16 people? I work with what I got man. Now let's get going, we've been absent for too long.

"Just a little more and… there." Chloe and Alexis stepped back admiring their handiwork with Alexis speaking again. "So what do you think Star?" Star looked in the mirror of her bathroom for a full two seconds before replying with two thumbs up and a smile.

"Awesome!"

Star, Alexis, Jackie, Janna, Ponyhead, Kelly, Chloe, and Starfan13 were all in Star's bathroom doing random makeovers on each other with everyone in pajamas. Ponyhead, Starfan13, Kelly, and Star all had their faces done up with styled and bedazzled hair with Star's in particular looking like a silver lion's mane. At Star's words Chloe turned towards the other girls with a raised eyebrow asking them all.

"Who's next?" Janna immediately stepped away speaking up.

"That's not my thing; I'm not a girly girl if you get my drift." Jackie smiled and stepped forward taking Star's spot with Alexis speaking up.

"Ok you want something random or are you going to say anything that we will simply ignore and just give you what we think is best?" Jackie chuckled before responding.

"Oh just…" She was cut off however by a dinging sound of a timer going off and what sounded like a small earthquake downstairs making Star perk up.

"Oh brownies are done. Come down at your convenience but wait until Marco has taste tested them as I have never made brownies before." Star ran off downstairs with the other girls focusing on Jackie's makeup with Ponyhead calling after Star.

"Be sure earthturd isn't destroying the house!" Star slipped downstairs looking over the family room to see Marco and the guys downstairs.

Ferguson was getting up from where he must have landed on the couch considering the couch was knocked over on its back. Alfonzo, Marco, Dennis, Oskar, Tom, and Rico were looking at Tempest in a shocked manner as green magic faded away from his fist. The guys were also in their pajamas and it looked like they had been playing video games until some sort of magical blast had destroyed one of the controller's and threw Ferguson back. Tempest looked at his hand in silent shock as he spoke quietly.

"I just went to shoot some lights for a victory dance… guess I don't know my own strength?" Tom sighed and spoke up.

"It happens to everyone man, sometimes you just let a little too loose; was a nice performance though." Everyone nodded and even chuckled at that with Marco speaking up.

"Get the spare controller Alfonzo; I think Star wants me to help her out with brownies." Marco moved over with Star to the kitchen speaking in a whisper. "Are you sure it was a good idea to bring Tom in for the sleepover, some of your other friends don't seem to like or trust him." Star glanced back seeing Tempest and Tom laughing with each other while Dennis glanced over unsure and Rico glared daggers at Tom behind his back.

"Don't worry Marco they just need to see he's a changed guy now is all." Star chuckled nervously but snapped to attention. "Ahhhh, my brownies!" Star leapt over to the oven literately and pulled on oven mitts. "Safety first." She pulled out the brownies letting them stand out and turned to Marco. "You mind taste testing them Marco? Be warned I am not a good cook." Marco simply chuckled and nodded before speaking.

"Star I have been teaching you how to cook for the last few months, have a little faith that you will at least make something decent." Marco rubbed her head with Star purring under his hand. "Say does that actually feel good?" Star nodded smiling at him.

"Yes and I have no idea why. Dad says I get it from my mom who seems to be part cat for some reason." They both looked out into the family room to see the girls had come down to see the room being set back into place. At the site of the girls Ferguson immediately pulled out his belly and began making it talk to Alexis.

"Hey girl, how ya doin eh?" At this Alexis giggled and patted his head making Ferguson step back in confusion before she spoke.

"Yeah sorry boy, I'm a bit too old for you at the moment. Wait a few years so the gap isn't so great?" Ferguson, as well as all the human friends, blinked in confusion until Alexis clarified. "Oh you guys didn't know; I'm actually 17 as of 1 week ago." She got an ohhhh of appreciation from everyone looking up to her in awe with Star speaking up.

"Brownies should be cool enough in several minutes. So which of you boys wants to be pretty?" The girls were completely taken off guard when Alfonzo, Tempest, Oskar, Marco, and Tom immediately stepped forward. "Wow, shows how off stereotypes about boys are." As everyone got into their swing of things Marco was started on by Alexis with Marco speaking to her.

"So you're like the cool older sister to Star except you're not actually related." Alexis nodded and replied.

"Well kind of, more like really close cousins than anything else. Honestly I'm just lucky my parents don't push me for marriage as few women outside of formal groups don't get married by this age." Marco blinked in confusion before nodding in understanding.

"I actually get that, my mom has spouted off a lot of knowledge about medieval history including that kind of stuff. Here on earth things are 'often' far more lenient." Alexis smiled at this. "Say, why are you hanging with people who are on average around three years younger than you?" At this Alexis stopped her makeover with a sigh and extended one of her wings in front of him. "Oh. Sometimes I forget things aren't so cool for a half-blood back on Mewni." Alexis nodded before speaking.

"We Half-bloods have to stick together; that's why I was happy about Tom turning over a new leaf." She nodded towards Tom who was strutting his makeover like a diva with people applauding him. "He was never 'fully' a part of our group before but I hope he becomes a part of it." At this Star brought out her brownies and held them in front of Marco.

"That should be good right?" Marco nodded and took a bite out of one blinking in confusion for a second before speaking.

"Um what extra's did you put in this brownie?" Star shrugged and replied.

"Not exactly sure, just threw in some stuff from the cabinet that looked like chocolate chips." Marco glanced back at it and shrugged.

"It's serviceable. I give it the ok even if it's not for everyone." Star giggled gleefully and began serving them around with mixed reactions. "Star is pretty awesome isn't she?" Alexis giggled styling his hair a bit as she replied.

"Interested in her eh?" Marco shook his head with Alexis giggling. "Ok then keep your secrets. I'm not going to bedazzle this hair though, it's way too soft and fluffy for me to dare mess with it." She rubbed it a little before sniffing it making Marco blush. "Oh and it smells like watermelon and those nachos you prepared earlier. Hey guys come and mess with Marco's hair!" Marco blushed profusely when all the girls, except for Jackie, came over and began rubbing his head while taking turns smelling it.

"Mmmmmm, I'm surprised a girl hasn't scooped you up after your thing with Jackie ended." Kelly spoke as she rubbed his head and smelling it. "I love this hair of yours." Marco began waving the girls off blushing profusely as he spoke up.

"Hey hey, does this look like a petting zoo to you?!" The girls gave a groan in disappointment as Star looked up to him with puppy dog eyes. "Star you get to rub my head all the time is it really that good?" Star nodded with Janna commenting.

"I do it all the time and I can't get enough." Everyone stared at Janna in shocked confusion with Marco backing away. "What?" Marco backed away even further only to have Alfonzo, Oskar, and Tempest begin rubbing his head with Tempest speaking up.

"Am I ever jealous of hopper over there; you got some fine hair to mess with." Marco waved them off as well stepping back and speaking.

"Seriously, why is everyone messing with my hair; I'm not a dog!?" At this the other guys who didn't rub Marco's hair sighed as they felt their own hair with sad faces with Tom speaking.

"Dang, guess his hair is what's in now." At this Jackie chuckled and rubbed Tom's head speaking up.

"You know your hair is actually pretty nice as well with its sparkly warmth. It also smells like exotic spices." At that Jackie leaned forward inhaling his scent with Tom blushing slightly. As everyone chuckled the sounds of video games being resumed brought everyone's attention to Ferguson and Rico who had resumed playing Smash Brothers with Ferguson absolutely clobbering Rico at the moment.

"Oh, I call playing off against the winner!" Alexis called out rushing to the game with everyone either calling out who will play next, watching the duo play smash, or talked with each other to the side.

"Yo girl, you seem interested in earth turd don't you?" Ponyhead spoke to Kelly who blushed slightly at that shaking her head.

"Uh uh, I just like his hair. I get the feeling Marco would find it as fallback if I approached him considering how into Jackie he was from what I heard. I'm also not dating for now with the whole thing about Tad." Kelly fumed for a second before speaking again. "And for some reason it feels like it would just be a random ship that came out of nowhere just to make things more complicated." Ponyhead stared at her oddly before replying.

"That last part was oddly specific but it does feel that way." Ponyhead suddenly felt a rumbling down 'below'. "Oh dang, earth turd's nachos are actually decent but they make things 'flow'. I gotta go make boom boom." Ponyhead flew off leaving Kelly to shake her head and join the crowd around the console.

SN: One war scene in the bathroom later.

Ponyhead emerged shaking her head and moving along the hallway somewhat eager to get back to the group. She could play Smash by levitating the remote but it was pretty dang hard to do so. As she moved through the hallway she heard Janna and Jakcie talking to each other and picked up a few words in their conversation.

"… we just need to let Star take her time with her crush…" Ponyhead immediately comically glued her ear to the conversation thinking. 'Say what now, B-fly has a crush!' "… I mean falling in love with your bestie can be complicated." Ponyhead listened to Jackie's words with a shocked look on her face as Janna responded.

"Well it seems Marco has moved on from you given the concert so I think it's time we push Star forward." Ponyhead's jaw dropped at that with Jackie resuming.

"Not with how sensitive Star is you know she needs to take her time."

"With how the girls were mobbing Marco's hair?! He's not only attractive on his own but taking care of Star has given him the sensitive and the masculine edge that girls love! He'll be scooped up in a matter of weeks with summer vacation brewing! If Star doesn't move now she'll lose her chance yet again. In fact… I almost redeveloped my crush on him." The sound of Jackie patting Janna on the back came around the corner with Jackie speaking.

"Look we should help Star but not make her nervous, she's nervous enough as is given her past. Let's try to just smooth things along without pushing her for now." Janna responded with a devious voice.

"And keep other girls from getting to Marco?"

"*Sigh* Not if we have any other options please." Ponyhead listened to the two move away seemingly satisfied with their conversation leaving Ponyhead in shocked thought.

'B-fly has a crush on earth turd and people think he is her BESTIE! I don't know which is more outlandish!' Of course as Ponyhead got over her jealousy over bestie-ship and really thought about it Marco had been caring for Star in a manner that could have made her imprint upon him. He also, she admitted with loathing, was fairly attractive with his fluffy black hair, chocolate colored eyes, and beauty mark. He could also pull off a dress rather well which only seemed to help. And as the two lived together it only made sense that they would get really close with each other to the point where… 'Say what they were saying makes sense. And the part about another girl scooping him up could be true.' Ponyhead hated to admit it but Star and Marco could be a good couple and this might be one of Star's ONLY chances at a real boyfriend. Her half-blood heritage would keep most boys from finding her attractive and her position of power would make the nobles compete for her hand just to be king of Mewni. 'I've got to do something to get B-fly's feelings out… and I know just what to do.'


"Ok, so what is this game you had in mind Ponyhead?" Marco spoke a little skeptically with the group of 16 all gathering in Star's room around some sort of veined blue box with Ponyhead explaining.

"This is the Truth Box, it's a game of 'Truth or Punishment'. It's all about revealing your deepest darkest secrets." Everyone gave an ooh in awe at this with Ferguson immediately stepping up and running for the door exclaiming.

"And I'm out, see you guys lat…" Ferguson was cut off as Janna tackled him to the ground and spoke to him while he was in a pinned position.

"Oh come on man pull yourself together, we're all friends here right?" Ferguson glanced over to the group who was nodding to him with several speaking up.

"Come on Ferguson."

"Yeah come share secrets."

He glanced around worried to see he wasn't the only one who looked uncomfortable. Tom was glancing around nervously and holding Jackie's hand tight enough for her to look at him concerned. Star was holding her tail close to herself borderline rubbing it in nervousness. Chloe was also twitching slightly with nervous glances being thrown at various people, mostly Alfonzo and Marco for some reason. Janna heaved Ferguson back up on his feet, somehow, and pushed him over with Ferguson whispering to Janna.

"I'm uncomfortable with this Janna, some things are meant to be kept secrets." Janna ignored him and pushed him back into the circle with Ponyhead speaking up.

"Ok so it asks three questions, each harder then the last, and all we have to do is answer them. So…" Ponyhead then clapped her ears making the lights go out and tapped the box with her tongue. The box lite up an eerie blue color and spoke in a airy and alien voice.

"Deceit and fables, lies and fiction, even with complete conviction, if truth is absent from these events all will face the punishment."

Starfan13: "What does that mean?"

Rico: "It means if you lie to him, somethin bad's gonna happen."

A smaller box then popped out of the top of the box with a fanged maw sticking out it's tounge tacking the center piece of it with the box speaking again.

"Pledge an oath of complete conviction, pinkie swear to me." Everyone put their pinkies in one by one pledging to tell the truth with some being a little hesitant to do so. When they were done the smaller box lowered back into the bigger box. "It's time for Truth or Punishment." A small rectangle popped out of the side with flipping panels that were turning fast.

Janna: "Pony girl, this is already awesome."

"The first question is…" The panels slowed down flipping over one by one with the box reading them aloud. "… what is… your… favorite color?" Everyone blinked in confusion looking at each other in confusion some slightly let down.

Tempest: "What gives man, this is supposed to be a deep secret revealing thing right?"

Oskar: shrugging nonchalantly "Perhaps they're starting off easy to lure you into a false sense of security man."

Dennis and Alfonzo: "I would second that." They blinked at each other in confusion at the syncing and smiled giving each other finger guns. "Nice sync man." Alexis facepalmed at this.

Alexis: "Oh gods, there's two of them now."

Ponyhead: "Perhaps the next one will be if you ever killed a man… oh wait that's still easy. Anyways, Ponyhead color, done." The humans looked at her in confusion.

Kelly: "It's a very popular color back on Mewni. Mine is Turquoise."

Janna: "Black, like my soul."

Rico: "Same here girl." They fist bumped at that.

Tom: "Fiery red and black for me, it's best if they are together."

Marco: "Red for me, of course that's kind of obvious." Everyone nodded at that.

Jackie: "Neon green."

Tempest: "Nice one, but I would still have to go with purple; sparkly purple." He flipped his purplish-blond hair in a majestic fashion making everyone stare in awe.

Star: "White, pure white."

Starfan13: "OMG, same here!" They immediately clasped hands together and giggled with Ponyhead looking on in jealousy.

Alexis: "Forest green for me."

Chloe: "Yellow, a pure sunshine yellow."

Ferguson: "Grey, charcoal grey to be specific."

Oskar: "Electric blue… or Indigo; I can't remember which is which half the time."

Dennis: "Cream orange."

Alfonzo: "Oh same here! Man we are on a roll" The two giggled at that with everyone looking on in confusion with Tom speaking up.

"Are we witnessing the birth of a bromance?" Everyone attention was immediately taken by the room going red and the box speaking up.

"SOMEONE IS LYING!" The top of the box popped open with red lightning shooting out a tickling everyone. "To stop the ticklish lightning, the truth is all that's needed." As everyone rolled on the floor laughing Star spoke up.

"Ok, *hehehe* whoever lied speak up *hahaha*" After a few more seconds of this Janna shouted out.

Janna: "PINK! I love pink."

"Truth!" Everyone looked at Janna in shock as Janna curled up looking down as if ashamed with herself and spoke in a whisper.

"I don't like contributing to gender stereotypes." Ferguson immediately patted her on the back showing support while speaking up.

"It doesn't matter Janna, you do you as that defies gender norms enough as is." Janna smiled surprisingly sweetly at him with the box speaking up.

"Fighting the patriarchy is more than just defying what is deemed the 'norm'." The box floated up at seemed to cast a spell that created a gigantic box similar to itself that engulfed Star's tower getting the attention of some people walking by their house.

"Ummm… what kind of construction are they doing?"

"Don't know and don't care; I am not getting involved with that house given what has been going on around there." The people moved along keeping their heads down.

Inside the box it looked like the group had actually been sucked inside of the game with walls looking like the boxes exterior all around them instead of star's room. Everyone looked around in awe but some people knew better then to be excited. This was only to beginning at it was only gonna get worse; they were in, for a rough night.

"Question two… what do you... really... think of... Tom?" Everyone glanced at each other with Ferguson thinking to himself 'Yup... definitely a rough night.'

WH: Welp... that escalated quickly.
