Chapter 24: My New Wand!
Star was cheerfully talking to StarFan13 via webcam. Cheerfully telling about what recently happened in her own way… while Marco took a shower.
Of course Marco didn't want this happening while he took a shower. HE ran over after putting on a towel.
"Star I don't want the computer watching me shower!" said Marco shutting the computer.
Nearby he heard Luffy laughing.
"Seriously." Muttered Marco.
"You're letting Star watch… why not the computer." Said Luffy.
"Because I learned long ago that Star will just join in no matter how much I complain." Muttered Marco.
That was when Star's wand suddenly flew out of her hand, went into the hallway and bounced around like Crazy.
"What the!" said Marco.
"What's up with your wand?" asked Marco.
"I don't know." Said Star.
"It's going downstairs!" yelled Marco.
It bounced back up almost hitting Star in the head.
"That almost killed me." Mumbled Star.
The wand continued to bounce around going into Star room where her magic book came out from under the bed and in a sense ate it, before tackling Marco and Luffy and forcing them into Star's closest.
Though what Marco was wearing didn't come with him.
"My towel!" yelled Marco.
"Hang on I'll get you out!" said Star.
"Hold on! I'm not decent!" said Marco.
"Oh, okay." Said Star.
Luffy laughed as Marco put together a make shift outfit of Star's stuff.
"Can it Monkey!" yelled Marco, "Don't open that!"
"Wasn't gonna." Muttered Star.
Marco now that he was decent tried to open the door.
"Hey, it's locked." Said Marco.
On the other side of the door, Star struggled wit the door.
"Use the knob!" said Marco.
"What do you think I'm doing!" said Star after briefly getting distracted a laser puppy she explained something, "I usually open it with my wand."
"Well your book ate it." Said Marco.
"I'll handle this!" said Luffy swinging his arm like a windmill, "Gum Gum Pistol!"
The punch didn't bust open the door.
"Gum Gum Gatling!"
The multi-punch didn't work either.
"Gum Gum Bazooka!"
The double palm thrust still didn't break down the door.
"Well that did nothing." Said Marco.
"Magic is stupid." Grumbled Luffy.
"Seriously." Said Marco.
"I'm guessing that's why the door is so strong." Said Luffy with a shrug.
Marco realized that Luffy much be right.
"You two better not go pokin' around in there, that's' my secrets closet! It's private!" said Star.
"I wasn't going to!" said Marco.
"Don't worry it's fine." Said Luffy.
They heard Star and Glossaryck talking about opening the door when the little blue man entered through the keyhole.
Marco grabbed him realizing something.
"Hey! What's going on! Is this some kind of training thing?" asked Marco.
"Are you some kind of training thing? Are you mad? Is this wolf-babob rock bondage? Ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba…" said Glossaryck paraphrasing Charles Manson.
No really look it up, he really is paraphrasing something he said…
"Stop that!" said Marco getting him to stop.
That was when Glossaryck noticed Luffy there.
"Oh hey Luffy! I didn't think I'd see you in here." He said.
"Okay…" said Luffy with a shrug.
"Just tell us how to get us out of here." Said Marco.
"Okay! I'll tell you two what to do… are you listening?" asked Glossaryck.
Marco and Luffy looked at each other and nodded.
"To reach the chunks of the hobo stew, find her secret, that's the clue!" said Glossaryck.
"So if we find her secret then the door will magically open?" asked Marco.
"Good bye!" said Glossaryck who then went through the lock.
Marco sighed and looked to Luffy.
"So any secrets you know of?" asked Marco.
"Nope!" laughed Luffy.
"Thought not." Sighed Marco.
They looked at the stuff around them.
It's time to get organized!" said Marco.
He created two different signs using the arms plants, "Not secrets" and "Secrets?"
As they went through the stuff Marco remembered something… something that Star didn't want to talk about.
"Do you think her secret has anything to do with Sabo coming to live in the palace?" he asked.
"Nope"! Luffy answered quickly, "If it was her secret I wouldn't know anything about it."
"Oh…" said Marco.
"She just doesn't like talking about because it makes her think about what if she wasn't there…" said Luffy.
"What?" asked Marco.
"Star or Sabo should tell you." Said Luffy.
"Yeah…" said Marco.
They continued to go through the stuff with only a handful of stuff being declared possible secrets.
Outside Star was told to "Dip Down" which was the name for the method using magic with the wand. Glossaryck being Glossaryck didn't give that much information. She had to figure it out while he went back into the closet to examine the wand.
Star also called her mom to ask about Dipping Down.
She told Star that it required "everything she had"… which unfortunately Star though she meant to throw literally everything but her bed frame at the door.
Back inside the closet.
"All right! You ready go through her secrets?" asked Marco.
"All right!" said Luffy.
That was when there was a huge crash as she tossed everything at the door desorbing both piles.
"That's not good!" said Luffy.
Marco fell to the floor.
"Well Marco… Luffy" said Star deicing to talk to them after her attempt failed, "Looks like I'm just a skimmer! Skimming the surface of the hobo gravy. The watery hobo gravy! How are things going for you two?"
"Not good… You ruined our progress." Said Marco.
"I guess it's not bad… you two can live. I can slide sandwiches and slices of meat under the door. I can also bring Marco's homework… I'm sure that we'll figure something out before Luffy's 17th Birthday…"
"I don't want to wait that long!" said Marco.
That was when they notice the magic book starting to glow. They saw it open up with Glossaryck on it laying on his stomach.
Marco grabbed him.
"All right! Enough riddles little man. Tell us what we're supposed to looking for." Said Marco poking him in the forehead jewel causing a bright flash of light.
In the ensuing mess of the bright flash a book fell on Luffy.
He picked it up and Marco looked at it.
"Is this the thing?" asked Luffy.
"Bingo!" said Glossaryck.
"Star we found a little book!" said Marco.
"That's good! Keep the mind sharp… like a horn." Said Star.
"It's in Mewman writing!" said Marco, "Oh wait… here's English… Chapter 1: Mom's a poophead!"
"Mom's a poophead!" yelled Star, "No Marco! That's not the thing!"
They began to skim through the book. Luffy saw a chapter he wanted to read.
"Chapter 7: Garp's a huge ass!" read Luffy with a big smile.
"Wow… she must have been really upset!" said Marco, "I just want kick Garp in the nuts and…"
Marco and Luffy stopped reading at the shock the violent imagery in the writing.
"Okay… whoa…" said Marco.
"I could never do that…" said Luffy.
"She is creative I give her that." Said Glossaryck.
That was when the light died.
"Seriously?" asked Marco.
"Sorry out of juice!" said Glossaryck.
HE flew over to the book and dove into saying "Dip down!"
Marco struggled to read using the cracks.
HE found a chapter that he knew he had to read.
"Chapter 11: My thoughts on Marco!" he said.
Outside Star's eyes and cheek marks began to glow as she began to float.
"Dip down!" she said as she created an ethereal key to unlock the door.
Marco fell backwards as the door opened and Luffy laughed.
"I did it guys! I dipped! I dipped! I dipped! I'm not a skimmer!" she cheered.
She then grabbed the book from Marco's hands and used it to hit both him and Luffy.
"Don't go reading my journal!" said Star.
"Okay!" said Luffy.
That was when the magic book rolled out of the closet.
"Well this things broken, but give it a whirl." Said Glossaryck summoning the wand.
Star waved her wand and there was an explosion of sparkly green stuff and created an additional tower.
"Uh…" said Star.
"I'm going to put on some pants." Said Marco.
"I call the new tower!" called out Luffy.
"Oh come on!" yelled Glossaryck, "I was just to call dibs!"
With that Star, learned to Dip Down and use magic without her wand. Luffy also got a new tower which he got a rope ladder for, a hammock and even put up Sabo and Ace's wanted posters.
However Star's wand was going to problem… one that wouldn't be fixed for a while unfortunately.
But one thing was for sure Glossaryck was going to take her training more seriously from now on…
