The WH seems to be trying to get a surround sound speaker working while dressed in some sort of medieval outfit. As he works on it Janna, OP, and The SN come around the corner looking annoyed.
Janna: Dude, we've been waiting forever.
WH: Well I'm sorry that this book keeps on putting me to sleep people, it's not easy to read these things. *A spark emerges from the system* Ah excellent, that means it's working. Get the guitar, I need to do a test run on this...
OP: *hands him a guitar*
WH: Oh, excellent now then. *strums the guitar with the shock wave sending him through a wall.* ow.
SN: Next time check the volume. Enjoy the episode folks.
"Star!" Star blinked her eyes open and awake pulling herself out of a deep dream. "Star!" She looked around her room in shock as a high pitched child's voice called out. "Star, I didn't go back to normal; you said I would!" Star rubbed her eyes waking up and turned to see a 4 year old child shaking her awake and spoke up in confusion.
"Wha… who are…" She then came fully awake looking over the child and remembered thanks to that adorable mole he had. "Marco! Why are you so young… and so cute?" She booped his mole with Marco groaning in anger and frustration before he replied.
"You turned me to look like this so you and your friends could play dress up!" Star blinked in shock as last night came flooding back in.
"Hey Star, what do you want?" Marco walked into Star's room with Star smiling slyly at him with Agateor doing the same from the nightstand. "Ummm…" Star giggled a little with Marco looking around in worry. "… should I be worried?" Star shrugged while repressing a chuckle before speaking.
"Oh nothing to really worry about, I was just thinking… you messed up my wand and kicked down my door due to a lack of self-restraint. Soooooo I thought a 'punishment' would be in order." Star got up holding a small flask of something she jiggled around with Marco now looking panicked.
"Star that first one was an accident that I fixed and the door I fixed as well." Marco began backing away but found his path blocked by Starfan13, Janna, Chloe, Ponyhead, Kelly, Jackie, and Alexis who had massive shit-eating grins on their faces. "I don't feel safe." Marco squeaked out as Star opened up the flask speaking up.
"Oh don't worry you're not going to be hurt; we're just going to have some fun." The girls all giggled as Star flicked some of the liquid that was in it out with it landing on Marco's skin almost instantly being absorbed in. "You know how Father Time allowed us to take some of his mud? Well it turns out when the water to taken out of the mud it does something similar to those clocks on the river of time." Marco's eyes went wide with fear and he began to sweat in panic as he spoke silently with fear.
"Wait… you don't mean…" Star nodded as a soft light encased Marco moving outwards from where the water landed. The sound of a cuckoo clock went off with Marco's form shimmering out of focus before reforming with the light fading away to reveal a 4 year old Marco. He was wearing a red t-shirt with grey pants and adorably little shoes. Marco looked around in shock until he spied himself in Star's mirror and yelled out in the most adorable little child's voice. "OH COME ON, I'm even younger then when we were in the time dimension!" Marco sat down and folded his arms doing the most adorable pout with all the girls responding as one would expect.
"AWWWWWWWW, he's so cute!" The girls immediately pulled out a large suitcase from out in the hallway opening it up. "Guess what we have in mind for you." They immediately pulled out female dress up cloths and make up with Star speaking up.
"Now remember: no taking off his underwear, talking about this to anyone else unless if he brings it up, and NO posting pictures to the internet. Now let's get this punishment started." They turned towards Marco who now had a look of panic on his face with each of the participants speaking up.
Starfan13: "Let's make him pretty."
Agateor: "Gurl, he'sh gonna look fabooulous."
Alexis: "How well can you pull off these clothes?"
Ponyhead: "I got his blush and lipstick."
Kelly: "I got his hair."
Chloe: "And I got his eyeliner."
Jackie: "Don't worry little dude, you're gonna love this."
Janna: "Time to experiment." Marco was surrounded by them offering no escape as he spoke up.
"No, NO, NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Outside several people were walking by with all of them looking scared now.
"Ok seriously what is going on with that house?!"
"I don't know man; maybe we should call the police this time."
"… oh yeah we did do that. And if I remember correctly *hehe* you started posing when we took pictures towards the end." Marco opened his mouth to answer but stopped mid inhale. "Jackie told ya you would enjoy your punishment." Star ruffled his hair, somehow feeling even more fluffy at this age, with Marco blushing and batting her hand away.
"That's not important, what's important is that the Renaissance festival is today!" Star went to answer and stopped remembering what was going on today.
"Oh right, that get together of people to celebrate 'ye olden times'." Star put air quotes around the last words as Marco pouted.
"I can't go like this; I was supposed to go as a cool knight. Now if I do so I'll look ridiculous." Marco sat with his back to Star.
"Wait, the effects were supposed to wear off according to Gloss… damnit is he just pulling my leg on this one." Star rushed over to her magic book opening it with Glossarick popping out looking like he was training some bugs to perform in a circus. "Glossarick, you were wrong. Marco's not back to normal." Star pointed at a still pouting Marco with Glossarick looking at him with ininterest raising an eyebrow slightly before speaking.
"Well of course he's not, didn't you hear me several nights ago?" Star raised an eyebrow in confusion. "*sigh* For someone who's usually so attentive you can let things slip by rather easily. I said he would go back to normal after a long night's rest AND eight hours have passed before the rest, naps not counting against the total time." Star's mouth hung open as Glossarick shrugged. "But whatever, he'll be back to normal tomorrow morning no biggie. Now if you will excuse me I need to get Stinky to jump properly here." He closed the book with Star staring at the book in disbelief falling to her knees. She blinked a few times before turning her head towards Marco who was glaring at her making her speak up.
"Uh… he didn't speak to clearly he tends to mumble a lot. I did hear it could go back to normal and thought that it would just go away with a night's rest, it always does. Unless if you need to specifically need to undo it with magic or a certain action it always is undone with a night's rest *hehe* and it does but there's a stipulation as well that I didn't hear because I was looking forward to the night and all the girls were and I thought it would be adorable and… and…" Star shuddered for a second before her head fell with a sigh. "I'm sorry Marco. I was messing with you because you jumped in head first but I just did the same." A shuffling from the bed got her to look up and see Marco move over to her looking up at her.
"Look Star, you gotta be more careful with the details so bad things don't happen… but I do understand and forgive you. I mean it would be hypocritical for me not to honestly." Marco smiled up at Star who smiled back… before she dropped to her knees and embraced him in a hug which he returned.
"Awwww, how shweet." They both looked up to see Agateor was watching them from the nightstand. "I wish Jushtin had made is move on is math tutor at shome point. By the way, you were FABOOULOUS boi." Marco chuckled a little at that before replying.
"Yeah, I guess I was. I'm still ok with going to the festival Star so if we could…" Marco was stopped from pulling away however when Star pulled him onto her lap nuzzling into his hair and murmuring.
"Mmmmm, you smell like you normally do except with a little cut grass and milk mixed in." Star inhaled deeply holding Marco tightly against her. "You smell so good." Marco blinked feeling himself go red as he replied.
"Star we need to meet with everyone in 1.5 hours. And this feels kind of creepy given our age difference right now." Agateor spoke up at that.
"I don know, looks kinda cute like a brother and shistah." Star giggled before replying.
"Yeah it's just hugging Marco, now if I was kissing you on the lips that would be creepy. Speaking of which we should avoid doing that until the effects wear off." Marco nodded and tried to move again with Star maintaining her grip. "5 more minutes." Marco sighed and folded his arms as Agateor snickered in the background.
A group was gathered at the 'usual' spot with Ferguson, Oskar, Janna, Starfan13, Chloe, and Alfonzo talking amongst themselves as Floyd preened himself in the background. Ferguson was wearing a wizard's robe and hat, Janna was dressed as a witch/sorceress, Alfonzo was dressed as an elf, Oskar was dressed like a bard (supposedly), Starfan13 was dressed like a stereotypical princess, and Chloe was dressed as a fairy. As they spoke Starfan13 started twitching and giggling in a fangirl manner with everyone nodding in consent that Star was approaching. Sure enough Star appeared, dressed in a Xena Warrior Princess outfit of all things, and everyone went to wave but stopped when they saw a 4 year old kid dressed like a knight struggling to keep up with Star.
"Star I can't move that fast with these short legs!" Star looked at Marco chuckling slightly as she replied.
"You know I could always carry you." Marco shook his head no and kept on running to keep up with Star as Alfonzo commented.
"Um, who's the little dude?" Star turned to everyone and smiled while chuckling nervously.
"Oh this is Marco." Everyone blinked in confusion at this with Chloe, Starfan13, and Janna nodding after a few seconds. "Funny story guys *hehe* something went wrong with my magic again and I turned Marco into a 4 year old. It will fix itself by tomorrow morning but until then he's stuck as a 4 year old." The boys stared at Marco in shock as Janna smiled with a mischievous glint in her eye.
As she went to speak however Star stared at her with cat-pupil yellow eyes and a cold gaze that even made the cool and indifferent Janna hesitate under her gaze. Star then figuratively zipped her mouth, locked it, and threw away the key with Janna doing the same. The girls all shared a look with the meaning clear, 'only speak of it if Marco brings it up'. As the girls reestablished their agreement Ferguson spoke up to Marco.
"Cool you're so small and adorable in that knight outfit." Marco pouted in the most adorable manner as he replied.
"I wanted to be an awesome knight but now I'm only gonna look adorable. I wanted to be a figure that wasn't known for its adorableness for once." At this Janna spoke up.
"Aw, do you want a juice box lil Marco?" At this everyone, including Star, began laughing at that with Marco fuming.
"Don't call me that!" He folded his arms as he pouted. "And besides you know I can't open those things." Several people nodded in agreement at that with Floyd reaching his head down near Marco. "What do you want?" Floyd picked Marco up with a yelp putting him in a makeshift nest with Oskar speaking up.
"Don't worry man, it means he likes you." Everyone chuckled at that again with Alfonzo's face suddenly going serious as he spoke up.
"Wait, how old is Marco now?" Star stared at Marco a second as he tried to get out of the nest with Floyd shoving him back in.
"I think around 4 years old." At that Alfonzo got a worried look.
"Oh… well problem here is…" Everyone looked at him in concern making him stutter for a second. "… well… if you are under age 13 you can't get in unless if you have an adult over age 18 to accompany you." Everyone looked at him not shocked but more confused. "I read it on the pamphlet that came out about the events." Starfan13 shrugged.
"Eh, maybe people won't notice or we can smuggle him in." At this Ferguson spoke up.
"And with that in mind we need to get going people, the event opens in 10 minutes." Star nodded and took out her scissors opening up a portal with everyone moving in. Star went to step in but stopped thinking for a second with Marco commenting.
"Um Star, what gives?" Star thought for a second before smiling.
"I need to get something real quick. Don't worry it won't be more than 5 minutes." She leaned down going to kiss Marco on the lips but stopped and instead kissed his cheek before cutting another portal. "See you there." Star stepped through her portal with Marco looking after her for a second before stepping through to the fair.
Marco looked around taking in the sights around him shivering ever so slightly as everything just seemed so much… bigger and more intimidating. And what's more everything seemed so much louder making Marco thankful he had his helmet on to at least muffle out some of the noise. Everyone was also glancing over at Floyd at some point a bit wierded out by a gigantic bird just standing there. As he glanced around he shuffled in closer to his group overhearing Oskar's words.
"… so Tempest is gonna pick me up and join 'The Bounce Gang' for the battle of the bands coming up tonight at this festival." Chloe commented on this.
"Interesting how their taking place at the same place and same day." Starfan13 shrugged and spoke up.
"Eh probably just the different event sponsors working together to save money." Marc o inadvertently moved close enough so that he bumped into Janna's leg with her looking down with a mischievous grin.
"Oh hey, wanna hold my hand so you don't get lost lil Marco." Marco shivered and stepped back shaking his head no while replying
"Nu uh, you're the scariest thing around here." Janna chuckled and looked proud of herself as Ferguson spoke up.
"I'll take that hand if Marco's not gonna take it." Janna giggled mischievously and grabbed onto Ferguson's hand shocking him. As smoke came off of him he blinked in shock before looking down at the hand to see there was no zapper in her hand. "You used a 'shocking grasp' on me didn't you?" Janna nodded smiling mischievously with Ferguson returning the gaze. "Awesome..." He leaned in to kiss Janna's cheek which wound up shocking Janna. "… two can play at that game as our love is enlightening." Janna laughed out loud and they kissed straight up on the lips shocking each other laughing even more.
Marco shrugged at that and tried to keep close to his friends looking out for Star hoping she would find them. 'Should be easy given Floyd is here.' Marco thought to himself wishing he was taller so he could get a good look around. As he casually glanced around he heard a rush of people come by and stepped to get out of the way accidentally stepping away from his friends in the process. As the group went by Marco had to nimbly dodge in order to keep from being trampled by the inattentive people going by, mostly what appeared to be a bunch of Folk and Power metal fans it seemed. Thankfully he accomplished this despite his small frame due to his athletic abilities only to realize he had lost his group of friends. He looked up as high as he could even jumping up and down to get a better view but he was just too short to see anything, even Floyd was out of sight. At this point Marco began to panic wishing he had taken Janna's hand despite the shock he would have received. He began running around looking for his group before he heard a female's voice call out to him.
"Hello, are you lost?" Marco stopped and turned to see a woman with a baby strapped to her back coming up to him. Marco hesitated a second before speaking.
"Um yeah, I was with my friends but we got separated by the crowd and I can't see them anywhere." She held out her hand to him smiling and speaking up.
"Well perhaps I can help you find them…"
'Space Unicorn, soaring through the stars! Delivering the Rainbows all around the world!' Marco froze as his phone began ringing and the woman looked at him in confusion. Marco tried to pulled it out but he was still having trouble with the fine motor control functions and couldn't get it out and open it up in time before the ringing stopped. Nearby several people had overheard the ringing and were giggling with mutters of how cute it was that the boy love 'Space Unicorn.' Marco groaned and spoke up at that.
"It's supposed to be ironic." The woman chuckled with another female's voice being heard.
"There you are, I knew your ringtone would lead me right to you." Marco and the mother looked up to see Star approaching… except it wasn't Star.
This woman looked like Star exactly, even wearing the same cloths, but she was in her mid to late-twenties or there about. She was also carrying what seemed to be a mixture of a large purse and a cooler over one shoulder. Once again Marco found himself inadvertently admiring her 'Butterfly Milf' figure mostly because the outfit she was wearing complemented that figure rather well. Star came over and leaned down next to Marco to speak but he grabbed her in a hug.
"I'm not gonna let go, I got separated from everyone and I can't find them." Star returned the hug even to the point of lifting him up as she replied.
"Yeah I figured you were lost in the crowd when I saw our friends pass into the festival without a complaint from the staff." At this the woman spoke up.
"Oh are you his mother?" Star and Marco turned towards her with the woman looking Star up and down with some envy. Marco looked at Star who answered with a moment's hesitation.
"Yes I am actually, Star Butterfly." She held out her hand while the other arm held Marco up with him still grabbing onto her. The woman shook Star's hand before replying.
"You have… a very good if confusing costume. Also, I know this is not an important question, but how do you keep yourself in such good shape?" Star scrambled for an answer for a second prompting Marco to speak up.
"Well… mommy tends to do a lot of stuff in her 'workout' room when she's not with me." It felt weird calling Star mommy but somehow it felt kind of satisfying to him. The woman was paying attention to Marco so she didn't catch Star double take at Marco's words which was a relief as the woman might have gotten suspicious if they didn't play it cool. The woman chuckled slightly and ruffled Marco's hair speaking up.
"Well I hope you two have a wonderful day and please…" She fixed Star with a serious stare. "… don't lose your son again." Star nodded with the woman walking away waving at them. "And your son has some nice hair, just wanted to point that out." This made Star giggle and Marco deadpan as she walked out of sight. After a few seconds they both sighed in relief with Marco speaking up.
"Man that was actually kind of scary being lost in a crowd like that. I don't wanna be alone around here anymore." Star smiled at him rubbing his head replying to him.
"Well don't worry; I'm not leaving your side anytime soon." Marco spoke up after a few seconds of head rubbing.
"Say why are you an adult anyways?" Star smiled as she replied.
"Well when there was a chance you couldn't go in without an adult I decided to be the adult thanks to the very water that made you a kid." Marco blinked in confusion before he remembered what had happened in the time dimension. "Oh also I got some stuff for you." She reached into her cooler-purse and pulled out a juice box. "I thought you might be thirsty at some point so I got something for you." Marco blinked and got an offended look on his face as he crossed his arms.
"Really Star, fucking really?" Star blinked in shock before giggling. "What's so funny? I can't open those things, me and juice boxes don't mix." Star finished giggling and set him on the ground before replying.
"I'm sorry but a little kid swearing is just really funny for some reason. And besides if you can't open them…" Star used one of her claws to poke a hole in the top before inserting the straw. "… you can always ask for some." She handed it to Marco with him taking it with some reverence. "I can't let my little man go his whole life without having tasted a juice box." Marco brought the juice box up to his face taking a sip with his eyes going wide and speaking softly.
"White grape." 'Oh my Gods he's so adorable!' Star thought to herself as she took one of his hands leading him to the entrance.
"Now come on, everyone's probably wondering where we are right now." Star led him to the entrance with Marco following along sipping his juice with a smile on both of their faces.
They got into the festival without any trouble as everyone just believed Marco was Star's son but they did attract attention to themselves. A lot of people admired a mother who seemed to be really committed to her outfit and introducing her son to these events. Many people also admired simply how cute Marco was in his knight outfit sipping on a juice box as he held his 'mother's' hand. In addition there were a few people who stopped to admire the 'hot momma' who was going by prompting Marco to move in defensively close to Star while glaring at them. It was a rather quick matter of finding their friends considering Floyd was nearby but getting their attention was not so easy. After they called out and got close however the group finally did notice but just stood there in shock at what they saw with Ferguson speaking up
"I… uh… what…" Starfan13 interrupted Ferguson's stumbling of words.
"What's going on and what happened to Star?" Marco responded to that pulling the juice box away from his face.
"Star remembered Alfonzo's words and didn't want to take any chances with me being left out so she used a spell to make herself older so she could bring me in." Marco resumed sucking on the juice box with Oskar commenting.
"So you're his mommy basically." Star nodded as she replied.
"Well yeah I guess so." At this Janna smiled devilishly as she spoke to Star.
"Damn girl you're already having him call you mommy." Marco sucked in the juice a little too fast at those words and began coughing. "Imagine what Marco's mom will have to say about that." Marco was now blushing profusely as Star cocked her head to the side in confusion.
"Wait, what do mean by…" Suddenly realization hit her and she began blushing. "Oh nononononononono it's not like that Janna!" Janna waggled her eyebrows at Star as she replied.
"Well that's a shame considering how Marco has a fetish for your family's body shape." At this the group of friends looked at Janna in shock before turning to Marco who was now trying to hide behind Star's legs hiding his face behind his hands. After a few awkward seconds from Marco Chloe spoke up.
"Well who wouldn't, you grow up to be a hot momma girlfriend." Star blushed again at this as Starfan13 commented.
"Yeah you're rockin it girl big time." Alfonzo and Ferguson looked like they wanted to say something but were holding back as their girlfriends were right next to them. Janna noticed this and elbowed Ferguson lightly while speaking up.
"What do you think man, hot momma?" Ferguson immediately calmed down as Janna's teasing meant she was alright with it.
"Definitely hot momma." The group chuckled at Ferguson's words as the atmosphere relaxed a bit with Marco coming out and Alfonzo speaking.
"Awww, Marco's so cute drinking from his juice bo… wait how did you get that open?" Marco glanced at the box for a second before glancing up at Star.
"So, you got your mommy to help you out?" Starfan13's words made Marco look down again before murmuring.
"Yes." The whole group let out a unified 'AWWWWWW', even Floyd joined in, with Oskar speaking up.
"Dude, that's just adorable no matter how you put it." Star chuckled before lifting Marco up and balancing him on her hip while planting a kiss on his forehead.
"Anything for my little man." Marco instinctively held onto Star while sucking from his juice box.
Everyone immediately pulled out camera's with eyes begging for permission to take some pictures. Star looked down at Marco raising her eyebrows asking for permission with Marco nodding slowly and turning towards the camera's trying to make himself look adorable. 'Well at some point you just have to go along with it I guess.' Marco thought to himself as people took pictures of the two.
"Well now where to first?" Before anyone could answer Star's question however Mr. Lancer came up to the group dressed in some sort of nobleman's outfit.
"Kids *pant pant* where is Star, I need her help." Everyone immediately pointed towards Marco and Star with Lancer getting a bit miffed. "I said where is Star?" Star spoke up at that.
"Um it is me Mr. Lancer." Lancer double took at Star looking her up and down before speaking.
"THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON, and I thought our kids grew up fast." Everyone laughed as he looked at Marco. "Wait this wouldn't happen to be your magic at work here right?" Star nodded a little bashfully at that. "Well it's ok accidents happen but I need your help!"
"With what exactly?" Lancer pulled down his collar at Star's words to reveal a little head attached to his neck that was giggling. "Oh… that looks bad." At this Marco spoke up.
"How does a simple trip to the Renaissance fair result in this?!"
Psst: A person by the name of Acorntree144 was so inspired by my work that they made a youtube music video somewhat based off of my work. How... how do I inspire people that much? Now it is 'inspired' by my work rather then an exact copy as there is a limit this one can do in editing. Regardless, it's actually really good considering only one person made it and they had very little content to work off of in show. Do check it out.
