Chapter 65: Rest in Pudding
However after the party to celebrate they had to hold something else… something more somber.
Lekmet's funeral…
They had to have it eventually, after all he was the Supreme Chancellor of the Magic High Commission.
And as Princess, Star had to attend.
She of course was sulking, because she didn't want to be there and also for various reasons.
Sure things had gotten better but she was still dealing with everything.
Also she kept hearing people talk about how he never got to spend any of the money he earned from betting on the Blue Dimension for the brother pool.
She sighed as she hovered near the punch bowl.
That was when something caught her eye.
IT appeared to be Glossaryck floating in the punch.
"Glossaryck!" she shouted.
She jumped into the punch bowl.
Nearby Hekapoo and Queen Moon saw her.
"Star's upside-down in the punch bowl." Said Hekapoo.
"Not again." Sighed Queen Moon.
She walked over and pulled out Star as she yelled for Glossaryck.
She pulled Star away.
"Star… Star it's okay… it's okay…" said Queen Moon assuring her daughter.
"Damn it mom! I saw him in the punch bowl I really did!" cried Star.
Queen Moon hugged her daughter.
"You still haven't recovered from everything." Said Queen Moon, "And considering how he died, I can't blame you for some seeing him."
"But I really did see him!" said Star.
"Star… he gave up his life for you…" said Queen Moon.
"I know!" yelled Star, "Damn it, you don't have to remind me!"
Queen Moon sighed.
"I don't think you're seeing his ghost." Said Queen Moon.
"What? Who the hell brought up ghosts?" asked Star.
"Uh…" said Queen Moon.
"Wait you don't think his ghost is haunting me?" asked Star.
Queen Moon sighed.
"Just never mind that part." Sighed Queen Moon.
"Okay…" said Star.
"I'm not expecting you to get over your trauma." Said Queen Moon, "But I do have an idea that will help."
"Fine… I'll hear it." Said Star.
Queen Moon sighed, "It's something my mother taught me to say when I need to let something go. "Baloo-bawlee. Baloo-bawlow. I let you go… I let you go…". Afterwards I always felt better."" said Queen Moon.
Star just stared at her.
"Yeah… I don't think it's going to work for me." Said Star.
Queen Moon sighed.
"Star… you've been through so much in such a short time… I'm sure now that everything is calming down you might be able to work through it." Said Queen Moon still trying to comfort her.
"I guess." Sighed Star.
Sometime after the funeral Star returned to her room. Turned out Marco, Jackie, Janna and Luffy were hanging out there.
Why? Because Marco felt it would be weird to practice his teleportation powers at his house.
And he didn't want to bring Jackie to Dawn Island because of so many reasons.
So Star let them use her room to practice.
"Okay! Let's try this again!" said Marco.
HE took a breath.
That was when he teleport to the other side of the room, and teleported high into the air.
The other three had sheets of paper with numbers on it.
Jackie had a 2, Luffy had a 3 while Janna had a 10.
"For the last time Janna… we're grading on well it worked… not how painful it was." Said Marco.
"If you say so." Said Janna.
They noticed that Star had returned.
"How was the funeral?" asked Jackie.
"The usual funeral… they had tin cans as food, it was his favorite." Said Star going to the bathroom.
"If you need to talk just tell us." Said Marco.
"I know… I know…" said Star.
She went to her bathroom.
As she did, she was began to wash her face.
When she looked up she saw Glossaryck in the mirror.
"No!" yelled Star who left the tap on.
The sink began to flood and she once again saw him in the water.
She once again screamed.
She ran away towards the door and saw that he appeared in the doorknob.
Star continued screaming,
"Star are you okay in there?" asked Jackie.
"I'm going to break down the door." Said Luffy.
"No! Don't!" yelled Star.
She left the bathroom.
"Star… what's going on?" asked Marco.
"I'm think I'm being haunted by Glossaryck's ghost." Said Star shaking.
"Okay!" said Janna knowing it was her time to shine.
She summoned a book about the dead.
"If you are being haunted by him." Said Janna.
"What do you mean if?" asked Star.
"Well… considering everything…" said Marco, "You could be hallucinating…"
"Or he could actually be alive and he's just messing with you." Said Luffy.
"I saw him disappear with the book." Said Star, "He's dead."
"Anyways… if you have any of his personal possession you have to burry it." Said Janna.
"He didn't have any possessions." Said Star," Except for the book… which… is… wait…"
She went to her secrets closest.
"Star?" asked Marco.
She went to a box where opened it and a piece of the book was in there.
"So just bury it and it should stop?" asked Star.
"That's right." Said Janna.
"I have to do this alone." Said Star as she left.
"Does anyone else have a bad feeling it might go wrong?" asked Marco.
"It should be fine." Said Janna.
"When you say it seems worse." Said Marco.
"You still need to practice." Said Jackie.
"Yeah." Sighed Marco.
And so Star buried it in a place she thought would be perfect because he was small.
The pet cemetery.
Which is a universal bad place to burry these things…
And so she walked back to her room once burying it.
That was when she saw a mound of dirt with the book piece in the middle of the hallway.
" Oh … that can't be good." Said Star.
That was when she saw Glossaryck… all over the hallway… everywhere… even in physical places.
She once again screamed and ran to her room.
Back in her room, Marco was still practicing.
"All right! Let's try again!" said Marco.
He once again teleported, however he reappeared upside down and landed hard.
Jackie gave him a 1, Luffy a 3 and Janna a 7.
"I told you it's not how much pain in I'm." said Marco.
"Janna!" yelled Star coming into the room, "It didn't work! I'm still seeing him but now it's no longer in reflections, it's like I'm really seeing him."
"Where did you burry it?" asked Janna.
"The pet cemetery." Said Star.
Even Marco and Jackie gave her looks.
"That… wasn't' a good idea." Said Jackie.
"Why?" asked Luffy.
"That's the worst place you could bury it, now you're even more cursed." Said Janna, "You have to rebury, this time in a scared place."
"Oh… okay…" said Star, "I know the perfect place."
She ran out of the room.
"So this is a normal day for you." Said Jackie.
"Yep!" said Luffy.
"Sorry…" said Marco.
"No, no… it's fine." said Jackie.
And so Star went to the Magic Sanctuary.
She threw the book piece into the well.
But she still saw Glossaryck.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Why are you doing this!" she yelled, "Seriously! Why are you doing this! I'm sorry okay! I'm sorry! I'm sorry you had to die for me!"
She began to cry.
"You told me things were going to get better… but now you're haunting me! Why! I know I wasn't the best student! But do I real diverse this! I have so much to do in the future! To try to fix this kingdom! And it would be so much easier if you were really here with me instead hating me like this!"
She sat down and took a breath.
"Expect for that last day you never made things easy. Maybe that was the point. To figure things out on my own. You still there for me. As a friend, teacher… magi book guy. Whatever you were… you were there for me. Thank you so much…" Sighed Star.
She looked at the well and he was gone.
She took a breath.
"Baloo-bawlee. Baloo-bawlow … I let you go, I let you go…" sighed Star.
She began to leave the magic sanctuary… however when she got to the door, it began to shake.
As it did, the well star spewing magic covering the sanctuary with it.
When everything cleared she saw the book piece in front of her.
And something else.
And she began to show off the something else.
First to her parents.
Then she headed to her room.
Inside her room Marco was still practicing his teleportation.
"All right! One more time!" said Marco.
He teleported to the other side of the room.
Right side up and On the floor.
"Guys I did perfectly!" cheered Marco.
That was when Janna wolf whistle.
And Marco noticed that something still went wrong.
Luffy was laughing hysterically while giving a 2, Jackie was blushing bright red giving a 10 while Janna was smirking also giving a 10.
"highest score yet!" said Janna.
"Oh come on!" yelled Marco.
That was when Star burst into the room.
"Good news!" yelled Star then she saw Marco, "What the ass! Marco why naked!"
"What the ass… good one." Laughed Janna.
"Teleportation accident!" yelled Marco grabbing one of stars pillows to hide his shame.
He found his clothes and ran to the bathroom to get dressed.
"So what's the good news?" asked Jackie.
"Well I took to the scared place and I did this thing my mom taught me and well! Look!" yelled Star.
She relived that she was holding Glossaryck…
"Though he's not as a 100 percent! But he's alive." Said Star.
"what do you mean he's not a 100 percent." Said Marco fully clothed walking out of the bathroom.
"Globgor!" yelled Glossaryck.
He jumped onto Jackie and tackled her to the ground… then started acting like a cute animal curling up like a pet.
"Oh… this… is…" said Jackie unsure how to respond.
"Globgor." Said Glossaryck.
"Wait… did he just say…" said Janna.
"Yeah he's been saying that the entire time." Said Star.
Janna pulled Star, Marco and Luffy away.
"He's messing with you." said Janna.
"What?" asked Star.
"He's probably fine." Said Janna.
"How do you know/" said Marco.
"I read his bucket list remember." Said Janna, "One of the things was go through an entire year saying nothing but "Globgor"."
"What…" said Star.
"Seriously?" asked Marco.
Luffy just laughed.
"Yeah…" said Janna, "He's probably just faking it… so he has earn excuse to do it."
"That little asshole…" said Star.
"Wait… I have an idea." Said Janna, "Tell him you know when you either want to really annoy him or you REALLY need his help."
"Huh… the perfect revenge." Said Star.
"Wait… if he's doing this now… you don't think…" said Marco.
"That Luffy was right." Said Star.
"Seems that way." Laughed Luffy.
They all looked at Glossaryck continue to act like a pet on Janna's lap.
"That little bastard." Muttered Star.
"Like I said… wait until the time is right and then let him know." Said Janna.
Star nodded.
And so Glossaryck was back alive… with the possibility of him never being dead and just messing with Star… or he was dead and he messed with Star to bring him back to life.
Actually either option is entirely possible…
But still the point was he was alive again… and once again trolling everyone…
To honest… not sure if that's a good thing or not…
Next Time: Star and Luffy meets a nice lady in the royal garden. However she is not who they expect! Who is she? Find out next time!
A/N: It's true about the whole bucket list thing... so I decided to make it into a minor subplot where the four mentioned in the chapter (and possibly Ace and Sabo) would at one point or another say something along the lines of "I know about the bucket list" and him acting normal to them but still saying "Globgor".
