Chapter 17: St. Olga's School for Wayward Princesses

Star had called up her best friend Princess Flying Pony Head (her first name was actually Lilacia but everyone just called her Pony Head as she despised her name). She was happily singing a birthday song she came up with.

"And there's a special delivery for you coming your way!" cheered Star showing off some cupcakes that gave off fireworks and were shaped like Pony Head's face, "For the best bestie a best bestie couple have!"

"Ah! Oh yeah! Thanks B-Fly!" she cheered on the mirror but then stiffly said, "I mean thank you so much, but a Princess such as myself could not accept such a gift. Would please donate those to the starving bartends of Galafamor on my behalf."

"Did you hit your uni-horn again?" asked Star.

"You know we can't receive packages at St. Olga's School for Wayward Princesses." Said Pony Head.

Star screamed and yelled out "St. O's! St. O's! St. O's! St. O's!"

She also hid… it appeared she hid under the rug but really a treasure chest… there was something strange under her rug… and whatever it was it was wearing the same shoes.

"B-Fly?" asked Pony Head cornered.

"Sorry… it's just hearing the name of the place…" said Star popping out of her hiding spot.

"Oh come on I'm the one doing hard time." Said Pony Head.

"I know if you weren't in there we could totally party it up! Rainbow Tea in the Dowager Room, zipping down the twisty slopes of Zalu Mountain and all night party at the bounce lounge," said Star and added under her breath, "Maybe visiting Ace if lets us…"

"Oh heck yeah! That would be the best birthday day ever! Checking our your hot brother!" cheered Pony Head.

Star sighed… the only reason why she brought it up was because she had that huge crush on Ace and she honestly hoped she didn't hear that.

However there was noise and strange looking guards showed up.

"Oh no… I publicly showed an emotion and my individuality… that's my third strike. They're sending me to the solitary confrontment chamber!" yelled Pony Head as she was dragged away.

The call ended and this caused Star to start crying.

That was when Luffy and Marco entered the room.

"Who's ready to take on life's problems by beating up either some ill intention monster or pirates!" yelled Marco.

"Are you okay?" asked Luffy notching his sister crying.

"Best besties don't let best besties have bad birthday days!" cried Star taking out a tissue form her wand, "And Pony Head is having the worst!"

"Pony Head?" asked Marco and Luffy with a groan.

Marco was surprised.

"You don't like her either…" said Marco.

"No…" pouted Luffy.

"Why…" said Marco.

(Flashback)

A young Luffy had his back against a tree while a young Pony Head was aiming her horn at his stomach.

"Listen here blue boy! Star is my bff! Got it! And you're not taking her away from me!" she yelled at him clearly ready to stab him.

"Pony Head!" cried Star seeing Pony Head trying to stab Luffy with her horn.

(End of Flashback)

"Makes way too much sense…" said Marco.

"Guys! We have to get her out that prison." Said Start.

"A prison break?" asked Marco perking up" Why didn't you say so!"

Luffy and Star stared at Marco, not expecting that from him.

"But wait… isn't St. O's?"

Star screamed, "St. O's! St. O's! St. O's!"

She once again hid… this time in her clothes.

"Star?" asked Luffy.

"Sorry just hearing the name scares me." Said Star joining the two.

"What's that under your rug!" yelled Marco.

"I don't know! Expect for one thing! DO NOT STEP ON IT!" said Star looking at Luffy at the last part.

"All right!" said Marco taking charge, "Let's get back to that break out thing."

"But no one has ever broken out…" said Star.

"I've seen every prison escape movie ever seen." Said Marco, "We need only three things: Patience, brains and the ever popular hair pin."

"You think that will work?" asked Luffy picking his nose.

"Hopefully." Sighed Marco.

"Or!" said Star holding up her scissors, "I can get us to Pony Head's cell and bust her out of there."

She cut oboe a portal but it clearly wasn't the right place, as it was a desolate area.

"Huh… usually I'm more actuate with these things." Said Star.

That was when a portal opened up.

"Get down!" yelled Marco.

A carriage sped by and they saw where the carriage was going, to the infamous school. Turned out it was a bunch of new Princesses.

Star was about to scream but Luffy grabbed her hand to reassure it was fine.

"New arrivals? I have an idea! We use this chance to sneak in with them with out notice…" said Marco, "All we need are disguises."

"Radiant Shadow Transform!" called out Star.

She transformed her clothes into punkish princess attire with a gray dress, different horned headband and an eye patch.

"Do me!" cheered Marco.

"Me too!" laughed Luffy.

"Radiant Shadow Transform!" she called out.

She transformed their clothes into disguises as well. Both of them were now wearing princess dresses.

Marco wore a purple-ish pink dressed with a fake pony tail added to his hair, while Luffy had a red-ish pink dress that had hints of red (such as a sleeves and the laces) with a fake braid and a crown on top of his hat.

"Oh come on!" yelled Marco.

"Couldn't we be the guards?" asked Luffy.

"I don't know… pink is defiantly your colors." Teased Star.

Both of them pouted, but they ended up joining the new arrivals.

While inside the headmistress a woman by the name of Miss Heinous was giving "Orientation" which was her strictly mocking them.

"You're all here for a reason, too wild, too opinionated, too bubbly." She said as popped the bubble of a fish like princess who was blowing bubbles, "As part of a noble lineage you don't have the luxury of being an individual, so by the time I'm done with your, you're all be fixed every last one of you, I don't care whether your from Pixtopia or Mewni."

She walked over to Star and poked one of her cheek hearts, which froze.

Luffy once again reached out his hand so that Star would be reassured.

"And don't think about escaping." She said as one of the Princesses took out her scissors, "These are useless. We have a Tramorfidian, crystal in tower 3. No rift will sustain itself for long. You minds as well cough up the succors you smuggled in."

All o the princesses groaned.

"Well these are useless." Said Star taking out hers.

"Once we get Pony Head and take care of that crystal those were will be our ticket out of here. "said Marco.

Luffy nodded.

"This concludes your orientation. I'm confident you will all becoming perfect Princesses', ne way or another." Said Miss Heinous walking away.

"All right princess." Said a purple skinned hunchback with a weird gem eye patch, "Time to get you signed in so we can suck up your individuality."

As they headed to get sign in Marco said in a high-pitched voice "I heard that the first one who registers gets her own room."

This set all of the Princesses to run and get signed in.

The trio went to look for Pony Head while hiding as best they could.

"This place isn't' what I though it would be." Said Star.

"Yeah it's just a high surveillance finishing school." Said Marco, "Breaking out Pony Head will be a breeze."

"No that's what I meant… It's far worse." Said Star, "Look!"

They saw one of the teacher signing with one of the Princesses with forest animals.

"You know the girls that get sent here." Said Marco.

"But…" said Luffy getting a bad feeling from it.

"I'm pretty sure that's the Princess that tried to steal Star's face." Said Marco.

"Oh…" said Luffy.

Luffy was ready to fight her however Star and Marco dragged him away, it didn't help that Luffy wasn't around during that incident.

They found where the rooms were. They peaked into one of the room.

"You know this place has luxurious digs." Said Marco.

"Are you mad?" asked Star.

He began to list off the various nice things about the rooms.

"But look at her." Said Luffy.

Marco looked at the Princess inside the room, she was dancing but also had a dazed and broken look on her face.

"She's broken…" said Luffy.

Marco blinked. HE watched at the Princess danced and there was indeed something wrong with her.

"He's right." Said Star.

"I don't like Pony Head… but we need to get her out of here." Said Luffy.

They found her room.

Marco took out the hairpin and opened the lock.

"All right you two, we got to be quiet." Said Marco.

When they got into the room, Star started signing her birthday song.

"Star! Do you want to get us caught." hissed Marco.

"Sorry!" said Star, "Hey Pony Head!"

Pony Head didn't respond.

"Hey! It's us! We're here to break you out of here so you can parity it up!" said Star.

Pony Head turned around, revealing that her eyes were very wide and off putting, her hair was braided and her face very pale.

"My deepest apologies." Said Pony Head in a posh accent, "But I must decline the invitation as partying is unrefined."

"That's not the Pony Head I know and love." Whimpered Star.

"I got this!" said Marco, "Hey Pointy Head! It's me Earth Turd!"

"Such language belongs in the gutters of Galafamor." Said Pony Head

"You know I kind of like her better this way." Said Marco.

"I don't…" said Luffy.

"What?" asked Marco.

"I don't like her either, but it isn't right." Said Luffy.

They both looked at Star who was shaking Pony Head to get a hold of herself but the flying head just said "Would you like some tea and crumpets?"

"When we get out of here she can finally be a benefit to society." Said Marco he began to get a bunch of things from the room.

"What are you doing?" asked Star.

"I saw this in a prison movie, "Escape from Jail Mountain". Trust me this will save our hides, just like it saved Hank Innocent." Said Marco.

They set up a decoy and left the room.

However the brainwashed Pony Head wasn't for the break out.

"Escaping is inappropriate!" said Pony Head she began to call out for the guards.

Of course the Guards saw them so they had to hide.

They soon found a room filled with the princesses, drinking tea and constantly droning "Keep your pinkie as 90 degrees, more tea please!"

They watched as they constantly said that over and over again.

"This is worse than my worst nightmares." Said Star with Luffy holding her hand once again.

"I see what you mean." Said Marco finally getting it.

All of them ducked out of site of the guards looking for them.

"All right!" said Luffy punching his fist.

"Not a good idea." Said Marco, "We still need stealth. What we need is a distraction."

"What are going to do?" asked Luffy.

"They're not getting my individuality, that for sure." Said Star.

"That's it!" said Marco.

Marco got up, grabbed a teacup and threw it.

"It's not criminal! To be a individual!" yelled Marco, "Come on! It's not criminal to be a individual!"

"It's not criminal to be a individual!" called out a pixie princess.

The other princesses joined in.

"That should buy as some time." Whispered Marco to the others.

As they ran away as they did Pony Head laugh.

"Tee hee! He got scalded!" she laughed.

"She's laughing at an authority figure! I think the real pony is still in there!" cheered Star.

They contented to run and hide from the guards. They even created a pair of shoes that Star owned to distract them.

They soon got to a strange room filled with creepy murals and the like.

"What is this place." Said Marco.

"It's not important." Said Luffy.

They heard some barking.

"We have to get out of here!" said Star.

They continued running, they found a laundry chute.

Star went in first.

Marco tried to get though, but his dress was too poofy.

Luffy tried to push him.

"Luffy get out of here!" yelled Marco, "We can't afford both of us getting captured!"

"But!" said Luffy.

The guards showed up.

"Gum Gum Pistol!" called out Luffy punching them away.

"Just get out of here and find Star and Pony Head!" yelled Marco.

Luffy scowled but realized that they needed to be found.

He left and once he was gone of course Marco was captured.

Of course trying to find Star was hard especially with his sense of direction.

However he knew he couldn't look for Star once he heard Marco scream.

"I shouldn't have left him." muttered Luffy.

He ran towards where the screams were coming from.

Inside the room Marco was strapped to a seat and was forced to watch slides making him a "Proper Princess."

Miss Heinous and her assistant watched.

That was when he punched open the door to the room she and Miss Heinous and her assistant looked at Luffy.

"What…" said Miss Heinous.

"Let Marco go!" said Luffy glaring at her extremely harshly.

Her assistant looked absolutely terrified.

"You're going to be next." Said Miss Heinous who wasn't scared at all.

This was a mistake on her part.

Luffy punched her in the face sending her flying.

He turned to the controls.

However before he could do anything Star and a no longer brainwashed Pony Head.

"Marco I'm blasting our way out of here! You cool with that" said Star.

Miss Heinous was struggling to get up.

"How…" muttered Miss Heinous.

Luffy looked at her and his eyes widened. He saw that marks appeared on her cheeks. Marks that looked like clovers or clubs…

However before he could even think about it, Star's plan came into action as she had turned the princess hat forcing Marco to watch the brainwashing was turned into a giant butterfly and crash through the window of the room.

Luffy laughed and joined them.

"Why that Princess…" muttered Miss Heinous still reeling from the punch.

"Miss Heinous you cheeks!" said her assistant.

"You saw nothing!" yelled Miss Heinous who went to brainwash herself to get rid of the marks.

In the hallway, Luffy helped Star with Marco.

"Sorry for leaving you back there." Said Luffy.

""It's okay…" said Marco, "I told you to run."

"What were you doing in the control room anyway?" asked Star.

"Punching that woman." Said Luffy.

"Nice!" said Marco.

"Lucky!" said Pony Head.

"By the way Pony Head, I'm glad you're back to normal." Said Marco.

"I am too! Now I can make fun of your ugly dress." Said Pony Head.

That was when they came the hallways of Cells, all of the Princesses were banging their bars chanting "It's not Criminal to be Individual!"

"Man! I can't believe it! You really worked some turd magic on these girls!" said Pony Head.

"Yeah you really started something." Said Star.

"My work here is not done!" yelled Marco, "My fellow wayward sisters! They want you to be a rubber stamp princess! Well I say we stamp on them!"

"Luffy!" yelled Star, "Do your thing!"

Luffy proceeded to punch and kick in the doors.

"Yeah! That's the fist that punched Miss Heinous!" cheered Pony Head.

"You really punched Miss Heinous?" asked a princess with four arms.

"Yeah." Laughed Luffy.

"So awesome!" said a cow like Princess.

"Come on girls!" called out Marco.

They began to fight off the Guards with Luffy taking charge of the fights but the Princesses held their own.

They made their way to the courtyard.

"There's the tower!" yelled Marco.

Star knew it was her turn.

She aimed her wand like a Bazooka.

"Raspberry Panzerfaust!" called out Star shooting the spell.

The tower was knocked and it created a light show… thanks to the this the Princesses start partying it up.

Star cut open a portal.

"All right let's get out of here!" said Star.

That was when they noticed the partying Princesses.

"Well Time's a wastin' if we hurry we can catch DJ Jump-Jump's set at the bounce lounge." Said Star.

"Girl! Are you kidding me!" said Pony Head, "The bounce lounge isn't got nothing on this party!"

"But it's your birthday day!" said Star.

"And you gave me the greatest gift! Ever! Getting my groove back!" said Pony Head, "Look at me! It's back baby!"

"Hugs!" said Star and Pony Head at the same time.

The guards tried to attack them but Luffy used Gum Gum Whip to kick them away.

"You want to stay here?" asked Star.

"Oh I gotta! I can't let the same thing happen to the other girls!" said Pony Head, "It's tan that Right Princess Turdina… Princess Gummygum."

"Get on with your bad self my wayward sister." Said Marco rather sassily.

"Wait am I Turdina or Gummygum…" said Luffy.

Pony Head just gave him a deadpan look, as the name was pretty obvious which one was which.

"Anyways I'm going to bite on those robot guards in the face!" said Pony Head flying away.

"Bite one for me!" called out Marco.

"All right! I faced my biggest fear and yadda yadda yadda! Let's go home and never come back!" said Star.

All of three of them left. Unaware that during the brainwashing Marco had dropped his hairpin and Miss Heinous had found it. She used a way to determine where the metal came from… she discovered it was from earth. She vowed revenge against both Marco and Luffy.

They were safe for now… but she would figure out a way to have her revenge…

Next Time: Marco gets Star to tell him about how she and Luffy met Ace and Sabo. How did they meet? Was it all sunshine and rainbows or was there a lot of annoyances and anger involved and just how did they become Siblings? Find out next time!
