A/N: Most of the ideas for the chapter occurred later than planned, I just had a vague idea for a chapter about Luffy's birthday, Heck, I only came up with the cast for the chapter recently... so this is not that chapter I said that Hancock would have a major role would be... That's still a couple more chapters... anyways enjoy!

Chapter 53: Luffy's Birthday!

The Bounce Lounge was closed for the day, why? Because Star managed to convince Pony Head to host Luffy's birthday party there.

It took a lot of convincing but it was a good place. It would avoid certain questions if Queen Moon asked about (IE: not being in the Blue Dimension) and would be a good place to hang out, as long as those who weren't used to the Bounce Lounge avoid the pit on the side.

OF course the party was getting set up.

The decorations were a mix of koi fish and Mexican decorations.

"I get it, because Marco introduced him to Cinco De Mayo. But why the fish?" asked Jackie as she helped set up.

"It's a Holiday where we're from called Children's Day." Explained Makino who was also there.

"Yeah, Luffy always loves that it's his Birthday, much better than being born on Stomp Day." Said Star.

"Stump Day/" asked Jackie.

"A Mewni Holiday." Said Makino.

"So is this supposed to be a surprise party?" asked Jackie.

"No, you know how Luffy is." Said Star, "He doesn't want to see it get set up… also it's probably not a good idea to have help set up."

"She's right." Giggled Makino who was also there.

However the other guests that were there weren't help out at least on their own.

Pony Head just floated.

"Hey should there more streamers?" asked Pony Head.

Star sighed, she knew Pony head wouldn't be of any help, even if she owned the place.

And three others were just sitting at the bar, Janna, Hekapoo and Kelly.

"Aren't you three going to help?" sighed Star.

Janna created three Ocrams.

"I am Ocram!" yelled all three.

"Here!" said Janna.

"How were able to do that?" asked Hekapoo.

"I bribed Glossaryck with pudding and he did something that had a side effect that gave me magic." Said Janna with a shrug.

Hekapoo glared nearby Glossaryck who was also doing nothing near he book. In fact everyone stared at him.

"What?" asked Glossaryck.

"You weren't invited." Pointed out Star.

"But is Luffy going to kick me out…" said Glossaryck, "Unlike Tad if Kelly hadn't broke up with again."

"Don't remind me that I broke up with him again." Sighed Kelly.

"You broke up with him BECAUSE he wasn't invited to the party." Said Star.

"You wanted to come here and you didn't want him to be here." Said Pony Head.

"He would complain about there not being anything vegan to eat just to annoy Luffy." Said Kelly, "He's never like that to me but when it comes to Luffy he can't turn off condensing vegan mode."

"The cake for everyone does have eggs and cream in it." Said Star, "And let's not get into Luffy's meat cake."

They looked at the two cakes. One of them had chocolate frosting the other which was much larger had white frosting.

"So that white cake." said Hekapoo.

"It's mashed potatoes… the actually cake is like a meat loaf." Said Star.

"Okay… that is disgusting!" said Pony Head.

"But you know Luffy will love it." Laughed Makino.

By the way… this is a thing… no really… look up "Meat cake", there's even a Wikipedia page for it.

That was when a portal opened up and out walked Marco, Hancock and Marguerite.

"Hey we're here!" said Marguerite.

Marco sighed as he saw the Ocrams doing some work.

"Really?" asked Marco.

Janna shrugged.

"This Boa Hancock she's one of the 7 War Lords of the sea!" said Star.

"Wait… Luffy befriend a War Lord to the extent that she's attending his birthday party?" asked Hekapoo.

Hancock scowled and walked over to Hekapoo.

"Of course I know who you are…" said Hancock.

"Would you believe I live a double life and that gig is only a hobby?" asked Hekapoo with a smirk.

"You and Luffy?" asked Hancock suspiciously

Hekapoo eyed her and started laughing hysterically.

"What's' so funny?" asked Hancock.

"Luffy's not my thing…" she said, "But to him be your thing is just… man… too much."

Hancock blushed.

"Hey Hancock do you think you can help?" asked Star.

"I will." Said Hancock knowing it was for Luffy's party.

"Wow! You got it bad." Said Hekapoo who had heard of her reputation.

Hancock glared at Hekapoo.

"So why aren't their brothers here?" asked Jackie to Marco.

"Weird pride thing." Said Marco with a shrug, "They don't want to celebrate Luffy's birthday until after he becomes a pirate. River actually set side today for Ace so that we would have to be the ones to make his escape portal."

"Oh… makes sense." Said Jackie with a shrug.

"So they got together?" Marguerite asking Star.

"Sure did! And it's great!" said Star with a somewhat forced smile.

"Are you okay?" asked Marguerite.

"I'm fine, it's nothing!" said Star.

Soon enough everything was ready.

"Luffy! Party! Now!" said Star on the mirror.

This made almost everyone laugh.

"What's so funny?" asked Hancock.

"We'll explain later." Said Marco.

Luffy made his portal and cheered as almost everyone shouted "Happy Birthday!"

And so they activated the robot DJ.

Marco and Jackie danced together having a lot of fun.

Hancock and Luffy left the photo booth with here blushing at a bunch photos she took with Luffy.

"Hey! Boa! I want to talk!" called out Hekapoo.

Hancock scowled.

"Hey Luffy! I'm trying to figure out the fire works!" called Star.

"Hey you should get to know Hekapoo." Said Luffy.

"Okay…" said Hancock.

Hancock glared at Hekapoo as she walked over to the table where she was and Makino happened to there.

"What did you want to talk about?" asked Hancock.

"Actually she wanted to give a big sister aunt thing warning." Said Hekapoo.

"What?" asked Hancock.

Hancock did get the feeling that Makino was not interested in Luffy that way.

"I see the way you're looking that way about Luffy." Said Makino seriously.

Hancock blushed.

Nearby Kelly was telling Marguerite about her dimension.

"Wait! You buy things with punches?" asked Marguerite.

"That's right!" said Kelly, "Actually it's you who gets punched!"

"Oh wow!" said Marguerite.

"Luffy goes there sometimes to get some stuff." Said Kelly, "IT's really easy for him though people do freak out when they see him."

Marguerite giggled.

Meanwhile Star and Luffy were talking about fire works.

"All right! This should be perfect!" cheered Star.

"All right!" cheered Luffy.

Hancock nearby was watching Luffy with Star and sighed.

"Look at long as you don't do anything until he's old enough I'm fine with this… he's going to be a pirate and you're a pirate… and I'm okay with it." Said Makino, "I've heard of lot weird stories involving pirates and relationships so it's fine."

"It's complain but most of the guys I've dated are younger than by millennia so…" said Hekapoo.

"Thank you." Said Hancock breathing a sigh of relief.

"It's Moon you have to worry about if she ever finds out the truth about Luffy being from the Blue Dimension…" said Hekapoo, "Because might not be a warrior she can fight…"

Hancock began to sweat.

"Oh so Luffy's got an admirer like Twice his age!" laughed Janna walking by, "Awesome."

Hancock blushed when she said.

Then the conversation got weirder "She's doing the Jail Bait Wait… so give her that!" said Hekapoo.

"Nice!" said Janna.

Hancock was usually the perfect mask of emotions, but this was too much for her and she could help but to cover her face in embarrassment.

"It's okay… it's okay…" assured Makino.

"All right!" yelled Pony Head, "Who's ready to play Truth or Punishment!"

The dead glares that she got were extremely strong.

"I'm joking!" yelled Pony Head in a panic, "I'm joking!"

After a while it was time for cakes!

"Did you know until recently the song Happy Birthday was under copyright?" asked Marco.

"Oh wow! I didn't know that, interesting!" said Jackie.

"Happy…" everyone began to sing.

However a portal opened up and Ludo came through it with his Spider and Eagle.

"Well, well, well." Said Ludo with a demented smile.

"Ludo!" yelled Luffy grumpy that he came during his birthday Party.

Star on the other hand held up her hand.

Marco groaned and gave her the money.

"I told you that he was going to show up." Said Star.

"I would have through something else would have happened." Sighed Marco.

"Now rat army!" yelled Ludo.

The rat army came through the portal and seemed to be more than last time.

"Protect the book!" yelled Star.

Glossaryck was magically lifting the book.

"What do you think I was doing!" yelled Glossaryck.

Jackie and Makino jumped up to the bar so that the rats would bother them, while everyone else fought them off.

Hancock began to kick away the rats as her powers would be effected by them.

"Wow! You look like you kick around small animals all the time!" taunted Hekapoo.

Hancock glared at Hekapoo.

It should be noted that Hancock had a bad habit of kicking cute animals that get in her way.

It sounded horrible… and it is. But it was helping in this case.

"Gum Gum Whip! Yelled Luffy kicking them away.

"Is it just me or are there more rats than last time!" yelled Janna as she sent out some minotaurs at the rats.

"Well they're rats!" laughed Ludo, "You should know how they reproduce!"

"Ew…" said Janna.

"Didn't need to know that!" said Kelly punching a bunch of them away.

"Yeah.." said Marco.

Ludo got his Eagle to fly him towards the book.

"Dagger Crystal Heart Attack!" yelled Star blasting Ludo with heart shaped daggers.

Ludo was blasted away.

"Yes!" cheered Star.

However the rats as swarmed her.

Ludo got up and head towards the book again.

"Gum Gum Pistol!" shouted Luffy knocking him away from the book.

But much like Star he was swarmed by the rats.

Ludo looked at the rats and realized something.

"Completely swarm them all! I think you have the space for that!" yelled.

"What?" asked Janna.

And so the Rats started to do so.

Ludo managed to grab the book, when he opened it he found Eclipsa's chapter.

He looked at the chapter as they were together.

"This is perfect." Said Ludo with an evil grin.

"Oh if you're plan is to take it page by page, you don't want that chapter." Warned Glossaryck.

"Try me!" mocked Ludo ripping out the whole chapter.

Glossaryck yelled in pain as he fell to the flow.

Ludo stuffed the chapter into his potato chip bag.

"You know the rats didn't hold me for long!" said Hancock.

Ludo looked at Hancock, "Oh… wow… you're so beautiful… normally I'm not into Mewmans but…" he said in a trance.

Hancock glared at Ludo.

"FINISH HIM!" yelled Pony Head.

Hancock having even warned about the death pit on the side kicked him towards it.

However the Eagle managed to catch him before he could fall into the pit.

Ludo stared laughing.

"You have no idea what I just did!" laughed Ludo.

He created a portal and the Rat Army knew that this was a sign that he had won.

"So gross." Muttered. Star.

"great… no one tell anyone about this." Muttered Hekapoo, "That goes double for you Hancock!"

Hancock just rolled her eyes.

"Take solace in the fact that I made the rats not do anything to the cake!" mocked Ludo.

They all saw that the cakes were indeed untouched by the fighting.

"Why!" yelled Star.

"Because if they were I'd know Luffy would be even more angry with me…" said Ludo, "And that would make thing worse! Toodaloo!"

That was when Ludo left through the portal with the rest of his rat army.

Glossaryck was on the floor moaning.

"Oh stop faking it." Said Hekapoo.

"I am in a lot of pain right now! Ludo just ripped something out of the book." Said Glossaryck.

"I've seen you burn whole pages for warmth." Said Star.

"I always resorted the chapters… also he didn't rip out a single page." Said Glossaryck, "He ripped out a whole chapter."

"What" yelled Hekapoo, "How you were able to let him rip out a whole chapter!"

"Gee I don't know…" muttered Glossaryck sarcastically, "Maybe it was because by Order of the Magic High Commission it was sealed!"

Hekapoo would have paled if he wasn't already chalk white.

"What…" she said.

"Not only that but within the next few hours the seal will break because it's outside the book so the magic powering the seal will run out." Said Glossaryck.

Meanwhile with Ludo was trying to break the lock.

"Why won't you break!" yelled Ludo.

Then his wand told him something.

"Oh you're right they are dimmer." Said Ludo looking at the magical chains sealing the book were dimmer, "So I just have t wait a bit and the secrets will be mine."

Back at the bounce lounge.

"You have to be kidding me!" yelled Hekapoo.

She took out her scissors in order to track Ludo.

"I'll be right back!" she yelled.

However less than a minute later.

"Great! He used a compacted portal tactic." muttered Hekapoo, "I can't track him!"

"Wait… Ludo used a complicated portal tactic… Ludo did!" said Star.

"Yeah, even I'm surprised." Muttered Hekapoo, "Must have someone really smart working for him."

"So what's going on exactly?" asked Marguerite.

"Yeah I know about Ludo and the book… but what's so special about that chapter?" asked Kelly.

"That was Eclipsa's chapter." Said Star.

"Unless you're a member of Star's family dark forces try to possess you, if you somehow beat them then you get magic, if you don't they take over your body." Said Janna.

"Wait! You read Eclipsa's chapter!" yelled Hekapoo putting two and two together then remember what Janna said about bribing him, "How much pudding did it take?"

"5 Gallons." Said Janna.

Hekapoo looked at Glossaryck "I'd respond but I'm still in a lot of pain…" he muttered.

"So Eclipsa put that as a defense measure." Said Hekapoo, "Good thing we seal."

"Yeah… actually…" said Star.

She nudged at Marco to tell her.

"The seal is the reason why it acts that." Said Marco.

"What?" asked Hekapoo.

Glossaryck once again gave the explanation.

"This day!" muttered Hekapoo, "This is the worst day possible."

"It wasn't' that bad." Sad Luffy.

"It's your birthday…" said Hekapoo.

"Yeah but it's not much worse birthday." Said Luffy.

(Flashback)

IT was Luffy 8th Birthday, Star had asked the bakers of the castle to make him a cake.

His three siblings snag to him.

Then a large shadow loomed over them. They turned towards the person making the Shadow and it was Garp.

"Gramps…" cried Luffy.

"I've come to wish you a happy birthday." Said Garp with a big smile.

(End of Flashback)

Luffy was shuddering at the memory, thankfully it was his last one before he got his dimensional scissors.

"It's okay Garp can't give you any more birthday surprises…" assured Star.

"Wait… Garp?" asked Hancock.

"Yeah… Garp the Hero is Luffy's grandfather." Said Hekapoo.

Hancock linked unsure how to respond to any of that.

"So…" said Luffy, "are we going to eat cake."

"Well you are the birthday boy…" sighed Marco.

"And it's not your worst birthday." Said Star.

They all had cake and Luffy opened his presents, which was all meat of some kind.

However after the party Hekapoo went home with Star.

Hekapoo was currently too embarrassed to tell the whole Magic High Commission what happened.

But did know they had to tell Queen Moon at least.

Luffy was also there because they knew queen Moon would want to wish Luffy a Happy Birthday.

"Happy Birthday Luffy!" said queen Moon, "How was your party?"

"It was mostly good." Said Luffy.

"What do you mean mostly good?" asked Queen Moon.

"Well… Ludo ripped something out of the book." Said Star.,

"Hekapoo." Said queen Moon.

"I know… I got beaten by a bunch rats." Muttered Hekapoo.

"Look whatever it is, Glossary's silk worms will be able to fix it." Said Queen Moon.

"Well that's not the problem." Sighed Star.

They explained what he took and the side effect it had.

"Ludo's going to end up possessed." Said Star.

"Yes… he will be." Sighed Queen Moon rubbing her forehead.

"Hopefully whatever possessed him won't be so bad." Said Star, "I might the thing that possessed Marco was okay with just floating there until Luffy showed up.

"Oh right… that…" said Queen Moon.

"Sorry about that by the way." Said Hekapoo.

"Well hopefully you're right…" said Queen Moon, "But I will still search for him… don't worry…"

Star nodded.

"And Hekapoo you will be informing the rest of the commission when the time comes" said Queen Moon.

Hekapoo sighed.

Meanwhile with Ludo the chains finally failed and he began to read the chapter.

He began to float as a dark appeared above him. His eyes began to glow green.

"Finally." Said Ludo, however the voice he spoke in wasn't his own but rather Toffee's, "What am I going to do with him? Perhaps it's time to behave like a proper wand when I'm not in control…"

Indeed the one possessing Ludo was Toffee…

Things had just gotten worse… a whole lot worse…

Maybe it was Luffy's worst birthday after all…

Next Time: Miss Heinous has showed up at Marco's house for revenge! Will Star finally find out about Princess Turdina and Princess Gummygum, or rather their influence. And what will Miss Heinous do? Find out next time!
