So we hope you enjoy.
Lincoln let out a loud yawn as sunlight hit his face through the open window. Lincoln quickly started to stir as he sat up in bed, wearing his orange pajama's, and rubbed his eyes. However, today Lincoln felt himself open up his eyes and wake up a lot quicker than he usually does. Especially on the weekend. And the thing that waked him up?
Jungle sounds.
That's right. Outside his door, he was hearing sounds you'd typically find in a jungle. Howling monkey's, squawking parrots, rushing water from rivers, and the giant leaves blowing in the wind. But the Loud boy didn't think about it much. He just assumed it was one of his sister's noise machines used to help them sleep.
So, slipping on a pair of fluffy white slippers, Lincoln stepped out of bed and proceeded to get ready for the day. Due to now having his own bathroom thanks to Star expanding his room, he no longer had to wait in a giant line just to brush his teeth and do his business.
So once he did both those things, the white-haired boy did his hair up in a pony tail, put on his usual cloths and signature orange jacket and proceeded to exit the room, ready for the weekend. The Loud boy then went down the stairs…and was met with quite the sight.
What he was hearing…wasn't a sound machine. It was an actual jungle. Inside a living room. It even seemed bigger as jungle trees filled the area, a river right at the bottom of the stairs, a grassy floor, a flock of purple and green spherical birds flying past him, and even seeing a giant mushroom. "Well…I've been wrong before."
But the more Lincoln looked over his home turned jungle, the more peaceful he felt due to hearing the serene sounds and the lovely environment. "Wow, I gotta hand it to Star, her magic's really been getting better." Lincoln complimented as he took a deep breath of fresh jungle air. "This is really peaceful."
"ROOOOOOOAR!"
That peacefulness didn't last however as Lincoln was soon confronted by some kind of magical jungle cat by with blue fur, four green eyes, sharp teeth, a sun and crescent moon symbol between its eyes, a king cobra for a tail, and green scales over its back legs. Lincoln whelped as he jumped back away from the cat and ready to use his fire and ice to fend it off when-
"Wooooooah girl! Calm down!" Lincoln's eyes widened as the cat hopped around, trying to shake off none other then his little sister Lana who was on the magical cats back, holding onto it by its neck.
"Lana!" Lincoln yelled as he watched his tomboy sister laugh while riding the growling cats back. "What the heck are you doing?!"
"Trying to tame this thing. Duh!" Lana told Lincoln as if the answer was obvious. Why else would she be riding a magical beast like this. "I'm gonna call him Snake Eyes! And then Cliff will have a cat friend!"
"Uh, yeah…" Lincoln slowly said as he averted his eyes from the scene as Lana continued to hold onto the magic cat with an unbreakable grip. "You go…do that."
"Morning Linky!" Another voice belonging to one of his sisters got Lincoln's attention as he looked up the stairs and saw Leni coming down wearing her bath robe. When Leni came down, she took a look over the jungle transformed living room and rose a brow as she put a finger to her chin. "Hmmm, something seems…different."
"Yeah, the living rooms turned into a jungle." Lincoln deadpans at his ditzy blond sister while gesturing his arms forward to the jungle living room.
"Hmmm, no. That's not it." Leni said with the shake of her head. All Lincoln did was facepalm in response as Leni went off into the jungle, trying to search for the thing that seemed off about her house.
"Oooooo! Lincoln! I love what you've done with the place." Lincoln's eyes widened at the statement as he turned around, Lincoln saw Star still in her night ware standing behind him with one of the purple and green birds on her head. "Aw! So cute!"
"What? I didn't do this." Lincoln said with a laugh. "Now if the living room were on fire or frozen, then maybe this would be my work but birds, rainbows, and…whatever the heck that thing is." Lincoln point to each respective thing with the last thing being some six-legged poodle-like creature eating a bag of chips and giving the two teens a 'sup' before eating more chips. "This has to be you."
"Hmmm, nope! Wasn't me!" Star said innocently with her usual wide grin. Lincoln rose his brow in response. Star honestly didn't look like she was lying, but who else in the ENTIRE world could possibly turn a living room into a magic jungle other than her?
But before Lincoln could ask further questions, suddenly the sound of branches being cut down got their attention as Lincoln and Star looked to see Rita approaching them wielding a machete to cut down anything fauna in her way. "Hey kids. Look, I'm not saying I don't…appreciate your little make over. Do you think you can clean this all up?" The mother asked the two 14-year-olds.
"…Mom you own a machete?" Lincoln asked as he and Star stared at the blade in Rita's hand.
"You don't know everything about me sweetie." Rita said as she held the blade over her shoulder. "And neither does your father. Right honey?" However, looking back at her husband, Rita, Star, and Lincoln saw Lynn Sr being strangled by some three headed snake colored like cotton candy with bunny patterns on its scales. "Uh-oh, Lana go and get the anti-venom!"
Lincoln and Star looked to see Rita goes and help her husband fight off the snake as Star looked to Lincoln and said. "Your family is so cool."
"Hehe, I guess we are." Lincoln said with pride in his voice as he stuck his chest out and-
"AH! BUGS IN MY HAIR!"
"Well…most of us are." Lincoln said after the two teens heard Lola screaming somewhere in the jungle. "Welp, better get this place back to normal."
"Do you have to?"
"AAAAAAHHH!" Both Lincoln and Star ended up screaming and jumping in response to the voice, with Star landing into Lincoln's arms Scooby-Doo style as they both looked to see that Lucy had suddenly appeared next to them.
"Lincoln I'm starting to think your sisters a witch." Star whispered to Lincoln as she hopped out of his arms.
"I wouldn't be surprised at this point." Lincoln whispered back as he straightened up his cloths and looked down at his little sister.
"Do you have to get rid of the jungle already?" Lucy asked Star with her usual blank tone and expression. "I found a few areas that could be a new secret dark place."
"Sorry Lucy, jungles gotta go." Lincoln said as he pointed to Rita who was currently stabbing the three headed snake trying to devour her husband, causing actual cotton candy to come out of it instead of normal snake guts. "Moms orders."
"Sigh." Lucy said before slumping a bit and walking away.
"Welp, still not sure what caused this but let's get the ole spell book out to try and fix this." Star said as she took out her dimensional scissors and cut open a portal right above them. The portal Star opened was right under where her spell book was so the massive book ended up falling right out of it and landing at their feet with a loud thud. "Hey Glossaryck? You up yet? Got a bit of a situation."
The book then started to open on its own in response to Star's words as Glossaryck came floating out of it…in nothing but his underwear. "What seems to be the problem Princess Star?" Glossaryck asked as Star's face went red with her covering her eyes and Lincoln having a bit of a disturbed look on his face.
"Uuuuuuh…what happened to your robe?" Lincoln slowly asked as he pointed at Glossaryck.
"Oh, this. Well, uh, remember how I was playing poker with Charles, Walt, Geo, and Cliff the other day right?" Glossaryck told Lincoln who nodded in response as he remembered Glossaryck and his pets playing poker the day he met Hekapoo. "Well I might have ended losing my robe to Walt during that game."
As if on cue, Walt came flying up to the three, circling over their heads, wearing Glossarycks robe. "Huh, looks good on him." Star commented as Walt flew away.
"I can not tell a lie. He does." Glossaryck admitted as Leni suddenly poked her head out of a bush.
"Oh! I can totes make some more robes for you Glossaryck!" Leni offered the little blue man. "I always wanted to make cloths for a tiny person!"
"I prefer the term short but I'll take you up on your offer." Glossaryck said to Leni before looking at his half-naked body. "Its, uh, a bit breezy in here."
"Well any chance you know a spell that could get rid of all…this?" Lincoln asked politely as he gestured his hand to the jungle living room.
"Hmmmm, should be a spell riiiiight…" Glossaryck said as he raised a finger, causing the pages of the book to turn and turn before eventually coming to a stop. "There! Now if you excuse me, I am going to go enjoy the sauna where you keep the plates and such."
"Uh, you mean the dish washer?" Lincoln asked with a confused expression.
"You say dish washer, I call it a free steam bath." Glossaryck told Lincoln with a grin before floating towards the kitchen.
"…Ew." Lincoln let out in slight disgust as Star read through the page Glossaryck pointed her to.
LATER THAT NIGHT
Once again, nightfall hit the town of Royal Woods and everyone in the house was asleep. In the room belonging to the only boy, Lincoln could be seen happily sleeping in his bed. Not a single disturbance to disturb him.
…At least until he felt something crawling on him.
"The heck?!" Lincoln silently yelled as he was awoken instantly and saw what looked like a smiling caterpillar-like creatures crawling on him. Knowing only one person could have created such a thing, Lincoln slipped on his slippers and exited his room.
Looking around, his eyes eventually came up to the ceiling of the hallway, where the hatch door leading to Star's room up above led. And through the door he could see color lights shine through as well as hear the slight puffs of Star using her wand through it.
Knowing something was going on with Star, Lincoln quickly opened up the door and easily climbed into Star's room and asked. "Star, what's going on in here?" But the way Lincoln got his answer wasn't from Star talking to him, it was from seeing what Star was doing.
Sleeping walking.
Or rather, sleep spelling.
Lincoln was witnessing Star walking around in her sleep, wand in her hand, and firing off spells all over her room. "Get back…" Star muttered in her sleep as she ended up firing a narwhal blast at Lincoln. Thankfully they were only tiny narwhal's that only knocked Lincoln into the wall harmlessly.
"Hey! Star wake up!" Lincoln yelled in a plea to wake the princess up. "Your casting spells in your sleep in."
"Lamp…destroy…" Star, while still sleep walking, casted a spell on the lamp right next to Lincoln. Once it was zapped by magic, the lamp unplugged itself and started to chase after Lincoln, but the Loud boy easily froze the lamp before it could attack him.
"Star! STAR!" Lincoln yelled as Star ended up bumping into her mirror, which she used to pretty much used to make magic video calls to people in any dimension, and caused it to start playing messages.
Just then a pre-recorded video message of Star's mom Queen Moon came up with the ruler of Mewni looking as stern as ever as she said. "Star. Just calling with your daily reminder to behave like the queen-in-training that you are."
"Paper…tornado…" Star still wasn't waking up as she fired a beam of magic at a pile of papers on her desk. Due to the spell, the papers all started to fly around Lincoln like a tornado.
"Grrr, come on Star!" Lincoln yelled, now a bit annoyed, as he incinerated the papers with fire.
Star still wasn't waking up as she pointed her wand at a nearby bean bag and muttered in her sleep, "Beanbag…monster…metamorphosis…" The beanbag Star shot suddenly came to life due to Star's magic and gained two black dot eyes as well as hands and feet and proceeded to roar at Lincoln who simply rolled his eyes at the less then intimidating beanbag brought to life.
"Oh for petes sake, STAR!" Lincoln yelled loudly, despite knowing it might wake up some of his sister, in another attempt to wake up the sleep spelling princess.
This finally got a response from Star who proceeded to yawn in response before stirring awake. "Morning Lincoln…" Star said in a sleepy tone with her eyes only partially open. "Morning, beanbag chair monster…" But after saying that, Star's eyes widened as she saw Lincoln with a blank look, holding back the beanbag monster with just his foot with the object brought to life attempting to push past and attack Lincoln. "Lightning Twinkle Rescue!" Star then fired a magic blast at the beanbag chair monster, turning it back to a normal beanbag.
"Glad to see you're awake now. Sorry about your lamp by the way." Lincoln said while pointing Star in the direction of her now frozen lamp.
"What…happened?" Star asked with a bit of a worried and confused tone as she picked up one of the narwhals she blasted Lincoln with in her sleep.
"You were casting spells and sleep walking." Lincoln informed Star of the actions she was just preforming. Just then Lincoln came to a realization as he slapped his forehead. "That must be why you don't remember turning our living room into a jungle."
"Oh no!" Star let out in a panic as she slapped her hands against her cheeks. If her mom found out about this, then it was off to Saint Olga's for sure! The thought made Star almost scream in terror, but she was thankfully able to keep herself under control as she grabbed Lincoln by his pajama collar and pulled him close with a begging look on her face. "You gotta fix me Linc!"
"Ok, ok, relax. I'll help you." Lincoln calmly told the Butterfly as he patted her head with the princess letting out a whimper. "Hmmm, well one of Clyde's dads had a case of sleep walking one time and after some talks with their therapist Dr. Lopez he eventually stopped. So maybe this is some sort of psychological problem."
"Psychological?" Star asked, unfamiliar with that term.
"You know? Problems with your head and mind and such." Lincoln told Star as he poked his own head for emphasize a few times. "Clyde's showed me a bunch of times."
"Mmmm, what's going on?"
A sleepy voice got the two's attention and they looked to see Lily had come into Star's room, rubbing her sleepy eyes with one arm and holding a sleeping laser puppy in the other. "Oh crud, I'm sorry Lily did we wake you up?" Lincoln asked with a frown as he knelt down to Lily's level. "We're sorry."
"Its ok big brother…" Lily reassured her brother with a tired smile. "But is everything ok? Star looks worried about something."
"Oh, I was kinda just casting spells in my sleep…" Star admitted with a nervous laugh before smiling at Lincoln. "But Lincoln's gonna fix me up with mind magic!"
"Psychology." Lincoln corrected.
In response, Lily let out a high-pitched gasp, waking up instantly with a wide smile. "We're gonna help cure Star of stuff? Can I help pleeeeeease!" Lily eagerly asked them as she jumped up and down. "Please? Please? Please? I can get my doctor outfit on and everything."
"Hmmmm, I don't know Lily." Lincoln said with an unsure tone making Lily pout. "This is dealing with potential mental stuff. I don't think you're going to get it."
"Oh come on Lincoln. Let her help out. It could be fun!" Star encouraged Lincoln with a smile on her face. "Plus, how bad can it be? It's just a little sleep walking.
Lincoln hummed in thought for a bit as he looked between Star and Lily a few times before sighing. "Alright, you can help." Lincoln told his littlest sister with a smile making her gasp happily. "But! You're going to be my assistant, which means you do what I say alright?"
"Ok! Thanks Lincoln!" Lily said with a giggle and excitement in her voice as she quickly rushed downstairs to put on the same doctor outfit she put on when she helped Lincoln out when Star cast those fire and ice spells on him.
When Lily returned, she saw Star now laying down on a chaise lounge sofa she made with her wand per Lincoln's request with Lincoln himself now having a notebook on hand as well as a few other different kinds of supplies on Star's desk.
"So what are we doing first?" Lily asked as she walked up to her brother with a smile.
"Well, first we're going to ask Star some questions." Lincoln told his littlest sister as he pulled up a rolling chair and sat down in it before grabbing Lily and rolling in front of the sofa Star was lying down on. "Alright Star, sometimes sleep walking can occur due to the mind experience various amounts of stress. Is there anything that's been stressing you out lately?"
"Hmmmmm…" Star hummed in thought. "Nope!
"Really?" Lincoln asked with an unsure look. Everyone was stressed by something. Even someone like Star should have at least one thing that gets her going. "Nothing at all in your life makes you stressed?"
"No. Why would it? I love my life!" Star happily said with a big grin on her face.
"But what about when the scary monsters come to try and steal your wand?" Lily asked with a bit of fear in her voice as she remembered Ludo and his monster army always coming and picking fights with Star and her big brother to steal Star's wand.
"Pfft, you kidding? I love fighting monsters!" Star stated with an enthusiastic smile. "Besides, you've seen them. They aren't that tough. If anything, punching the beans outta them is a destresser."
"…fair enough." Lincoln had to agree with that. It was fun beating the crap outta Ludo and his goons. But that meant that this exercise had failed so time to go onto the next. "Lily, would you mind getting that art supplies on Star's desk?"
"Okie doki Dr. Lincoln!" Lily said to her big brother, making both Lincoln and Star lightly giggle at the cuteness on display as Lily got off her brother lap and walked over to Star's desked and grabbed the paints, brush, canvas, and stand off the desk. Having to balance all of the supplies along the way, Lily managed to walk up to her brother and hand him all the stuff.
"Thanks Lily!" Lincoln thanked, getting a wide smile from Lily, as Lincoln first grabbed the stand and set it up next to the sofa Star was on and put the canvas on it. He then handed the art supplies to Star and said. "Alright Star, this is what Clyde likes to call, art therapy. Just go up to the canvas and paint a picture. Whatever comes to your head."
"Oooooo! Sounds fun!" Star said as she did just as Lincoln said and quickly started painting. About five minutes later, Star turned to the two Louds in her room with a big grin and said, "Finished!" Stepping out of the way Lincoln and Lily saw that Star's painting was…interesting.
The painting showed Star in the middle raising her wand with a snake constricting around her with the snake having the face of Star's mom. To the left side of the paining was a three headed monster with one head resembling Ludo, another resembling Buff Frog, and the third resembling the giant fly monster. Meanwhile the left side of the painting had a Warnicorn on it.
"Wooooah…" Lily let out as she looked at the painting and then to Star. "What does it mean Star?"
"I dunno." Star simply shrugged. "I was just drawing unicorns and monsters 'cause they're cool. Rawr! Aah! Rawr!"
"Oh…" Lily deadpanned at the princess.
Lincoln however didn't think it was that simple. He kept starring at the painting. More specifically, the center of it. Star being constricted by a snake version of her mother. "Hm…" Lincoln hummed, not saying a word. The Loud boy then knelt down to Lily's level and whispered something into her ear. Lily nodded as she went back over to the desk and grabbed a black marker and multiple plain white pieces of paper and started scribbling random stuff down on them.
Once she was done, Lily shuffled all the papers up randomly before walking back next to Lincoln and in front of Star as the former spoke. "Alright Star, for this next test I want you to look at what Lily shows you and tell us what you see."
Lily then revealed the first paper to Star, showing she had simply scribbled on an ink blot of a random shape. "An ink blot! I win!" Star cheerfully said as she rose her hands in the air.
"Okay, no-no-no. What does this remind you of?" Lincoln more specifically explained what this test meant to Star.
"A fat porcupine." Star said after looking at the blot one more time.
"Ok. That's good." Lincoln said with a smile as Lily giggled at Star's answer. Lily then tossed that piece of paper to the side and pulled up the next one. "What about this one."
"A little alien guy in a gnome cap." Star said before gasping. "Maybe I'm sleep-spelling because I'm secretly a little alien guy in a gnome cap."
"I…somehow doubt that Star." Lincoln said with a strange look on his face as Lily tossed that piece of paper away to show one that only had a single black dot in the middle. "Ok how about-what the? Really Lily?"
"Sorry. That was the last one I drew." Lily apologized with a sheepish smile. "I ran out of ink."
But Star looked at the dot with an intense look in her eye. Her pupil's dilated as she let out a silent gasped. Her breathing intensifying as she stared at the black dot. "That reminds me of my overbearing mother suffocating me with all the duties of becoming a queen for the rest of my life...!"
Lincoln and Lily froze. What Star said was…intense to say the least. Lily ended up dropping all the papers in her hands onto the floor. Lincoln let out his own quiet gasp as his eyes moved in the direction of the painting Star made. More specifically, looking at the Moon-Snake. After a bone chilling moment of silence, Lincoln looked at Lily with a small smile and asked. "Hey Lily…think you can head to the kitchen and get Star a glass of warm milk? I think that would really help her right now."
"Oh. Sure thing Lincoln!" Lily told her brother, her usual bright and happy smile returning. "Dr. Lily is on it!"
"Thanks Lily." Lincoln said as he watched Lily head out of Star's room. Once the four-year-old was gone, Lincoln turned towards Star with a concerned look on his face. "Star? Is there something going on between you and your mom?"
"Whaaaaaaaat?" Star let out in an awkward tone as her eyes shifted around the room, a nervous smile on her face. "Pfft, no! Me and my mom are tight! There's…there's nothing going on. Really."
Lincoln wasn't buying it for a second. "Star, you can tell me if there's anything wrong." Lincoln reassured the Butterfly princess as he looked right into her eyes, sincerity in both his voice and expression. "If you don't tell me, I can't help you if you don't tell me. You can share your feelings with me. You know I won't laugh."
Star let out a groan of discomfort, a weird feeling building up in her stomach as Lincoln pressed on. "I…I don't know…" Star quietly said as she rubbed her arm. "I guess…things can be…hard between us."
"Like what?" Lincoln pressed further with a comforting tone.
"Well…its just she's so hard on me sometimes." Star revealed, a look of…contempt of all things appearing on her face. "For as long as I can remember, she's always been so tough and strict on me. Pretty much reminding me every day about my responsibilities as queen. Before coming to earth she even gave me a guide book on how to be queen and expects me to memorize it to the point! Even when I lived on Mewni, everyday it was princess lessons since I was six and I've always hated it! But she just…doesn't seem to care what I think. When I turned thirteen me and Ponyhead started ditching them and hanging out together. Even getting some matching pair of shades and leather jackets. But when my mom found out she started threatening to send me to Saint Olga's School for Wayward Princesses every time I did something she didn't approve of or wasn't expected out of a princess! It's like she just hates who I am!"
Lincoln was looking at Star with complete sympathy. He figured the royal life was tougher than most people, basically Lola, made it out to be. But the way Star talked about it made it seem like a nightmare. But…as Star kept up her rant…something started to happening to her that made Lincoln's eyes widen. "Uh, Star" He said, trying to get her attention.
"But I'm just the way I am! I can't help that!" Star continued, not hearing Lincoln as she started tightening her fist. "I don't wanna be like all those stuck up, prissy, perfect princess! I don't wanna be like my mom! I should be allowed to be who I want to be and do what I want to do!"
"Star."
"And what if I don't want to be queen huh?! What then!" Star raised her voice, her anger and resentment growing and showing itself through her tone. "I should be allowed to go out and do whatever I want with my life! She doesn't get to tell me how I get to spend my life! I do!"
"Star!"
"WHAT?!" Star practically roared with a tone she's never used once before in her life. Pure rage. Lincoln was taken aback at Star's snapping towards him as he back away and flinched. Star then realized what she did as she gained an expression of guilt and covered her mouth. "L-L-Lincoln…I…I'm so…I-I-I…I didn't mean to…"
"Star…look at yourself." Lincoln told the princess as he pointed to her.
Star rose her brow in response and proceeded to look at her hands and arms…and gasped. She…She was…glowing purple. Her hands and arms had changed to a purple color and she was illuminating like a lightbulb. "What the…" Star quietly let out before quickly rushing over to her mirror to look at herself completely.
She wasn't seeing things. It wasn't just her arms and hands. Her whole body was colored the exact same color. Even her eyes had changed from blue to a lighter shade of purple that her skin now as. Her hair had also changed and glowed a dark violet color. But what made Star flinch violently was her cheek marks. They were still hearts…but they looked…shattered. Like they were broken apart into pieces scattered across her cheeks.
Star then started to breath heavily as she looked over her body. "What…what's happening?" Star asked in a panicking tone as she pinched herself, trying anyway to make this glowing and weird feeling she was having stop. "I don't…I don't…stop…stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!" Star was now full on hyper ventilating as her vision started to get a bit blurry.
"Star! Star relax I'm here. Its ok." Lincoln was quick to go up in front of Star and reassure her, trying to get her to calm down. "We can figure this out. Just please calm down."
Suddenly, something in Star snapped as Lincoln said that last part as she gave him a rage filled look right in the eye and roared. "DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" Suddenly, a massive surge of purple colored magic energy was released right from Star's body, spreading throughout the room. Nearby object were blown away, the floor under Star cracked, and Lincoln himself was blown away from Star crashing into the wall on the opposite side of the room.
"Ow!" Lincoln let out in pain as he crashed into the wall and fell on the floor, clutching the spot that hit the wall.
Just then Star realized what she'd done. Her glowing suddenly stopped, her body's colors and cheek marks turning back to normal as she ran towards Lincoln. "Lincoln! Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!" Star let out as she quickly helped him back up. Tears started to build up in her eyes due to the guilt she was feeling. "I'm…I'm so sorry I-I-I didn't know what was happening. I-I couldn't control it. I..I…"
"Star! Star! Star! Look at me!" Lincoln told the princess, who did so with misty eyes as Lincoln gave her a comforting smile. "I'm ok. Between Lisa's experiments, Luna's music blast, Luan's pranks, and Lori's temper, not the first and certainly not the last time I'll be knocked into the wall. I'm fine."
"I…I just…" Star let out, still feeling extremely guilty over this.
"Look Star, we found out what the problem was. That's what we were trying to do." Lincoln reassured Star as he wiped a tear away from her eye. "So, how about we just get some rest now and we can talk more about this later. Ok?"
"Ok…." Star quietly let out.
"Who wants milk?" Suddenly, coming into the room was Lily holding a nice warm glass at Lincoln for Star. But the four-year-old looked at the scene in front of her as well as all the items scattered around the room. "What happened?"
Lincoln simply smiled at his younger sisters as he and Star walked up to her with Lincoln taking the milk and handing it to Star. "Thanks Lily. Now its time to go to bed." Lincoln instructed. "We're done for the night."
"But…what about Star?" Lily asked with concern.
"D-Don't worry Lily. I'm…I'm fine…" Star shakily reassured the little girl, forcing a smile on her face. "Lincoln got through to something."
"We're gonna work on it later." Lincoln told Lily as he lightly ruffled her hair. "But for now, sleep. Lets get some rest."
"Ok." Lily agreed, feeling tired just from hearing the word. Letting out a yawn. "Good night Star, good night big brother."
"Good night Lily." Both Lincoln and Star said in unison, with Star going to her bed and Lincoln following Lily out of Star's room and each Loud sibling heading off to their respective room.
About an hour later, Lincoln could be seen laying in his bed…awake. He was simply laying down and starring at the ceiling of the room with a thoughtful expression on his face. He had wanted to go back to sleep, but couldn't. Memories of what happened an hour ago clouded his mind.
Star's obvious mother issue's and the stress and pressure her mother puts on her for being a future queen of Mewni. Then there's that…purple form of Star's. As Star was discussing her problems, he had witnessed as her body suddenly started to glow purple. Add in that surge of magic she unleashed when she snapped at him.
He's never seen Star use magic without her wand. It certainly came as a surprise to a night full of surprises. However, that…form or state or whatever Star was going through seemed to just make things worse for her as she started to freak out to the point of hyperventilating. But still, using magic without a wand.
Maybe if they could find a way for Star to gain control over that mysterious glow and use it at will then she could become even better with her magic. Maybe even more powerful.
"Well, that's one potential upside at least." Lincoln muttered to himself as he stared at the ceiling.
BOOM!
"What the hey?!" Lincoln yelled as suddenly his door was blown right off the frame. The causer of this being none other then Star Butterfly who was once again casting spells in her sleep. "Oh no, Star! You need wake up!" However Star's only response was snoring and blasting Lincoln's bed with her wand and turning it into a cat balloon which floated Lincoln up to the ceiling of his room. "Oh come on!"
"Get away…" He heard Star say in her sleep followed by some grunt…which didn't sound familiar at all.
"What the…" Lincoln looked down and saw a purple skinned hand reach out for Star only for Star to blast whoever the hand belonged to away. Before Lincoln could say anything, suddenly the cat balloon Lincoln was on popped and he fell straight to the floor…landing on Star.
Needless to say, that woke her up.
"Owww…" Both teens let out as Star looked around and noticed she was in Lincolns room.
"Wait Lincoln?" Star let out as she looked at the boy on top of her. "What's going on?!"
"Why don't you ask her!" Lincoln yelled while glaring and pointing right in front of him. And when Star looked…
"I want your face!" Standing in front of the two 14-year-olds was some sort of lavender skinned creature. She had a bit of a heavy-set with warts, a long elephant-trunk-like nose, and a large underbite, with two of her lower fangs sticking out. She has big dark-blue hair and light blue eyes with purple eyeshadow. She wore a blue dress, white high heels, red lipstick, and a lot of jewelry, including a gem-encrusted tiara, hoop earrings, a pearl necklace, and bracelets.
"Wait a second…you weren't sleep-spelling." Lincoln realized as they both stood up and looked at the female creature in front of them. "You were just defending yourself against that sleep goblin...elephant."
"Wow! I'm hardcore!" Star said with a big smile on her face. However, a frown soon came to her as she realized. "Wait…then I talked about my problems for nothing?!"
"For your information, the names princess Smooshy!" The creature revealed her name in a rude tone before pointing at Star. "I came here for your face! To steal your face! You hurt me in my butt!" Smooshy then turned around and revealed a tiny narwhal piercing her butt.
"…Ugh…" Lincoln shuddered in disgust as both he and Star felt like puking at the sight.
"Could you…stop yelling?" Star asked with a hushed voice, not wanting to risk waking up Lily or any of the Loud family.
"Well I'm sorry. I don't have any ears." Smooshy said before taking out a phone and doing a selfie. "Camera phone." Once she did that, she leaned against the wall and peaked out the window and told the two teens. "I'm on the run from St. O's."
Hearing the name of the school made Star flinch and, going unnoticed by everyone, flicker a purple color as the Mewman told her fellow princess. "Well, you can't stay here. I don't want to go to St. O's!"
"Oh, you're going to St. O's." Smooshy told Star with a smirk on her face before revealing her master plan. "You see, we're both big girls. We got the same highs and lows, the same east and west. You can hardly tell us apart. Except for in the face. Camera phone." Smooshy did another selfie. "So I'm gonna laser finger your face off of your head. Oh, you can have my face. See, I'm gonna wear your face, and then you can go to jail. 'Cause you look like me. It's just a classic face-switch scenario."
Smooshy crossed her arms as she looked up, proud of her plan…until Star and Lincoln burst into laughter making her frown. "That has got to be…the single stupidest thing…I have ever heard!" Lincoln said in between laughs while Star was laughing so hard, she couldn't speak. "Even a blind person…could tell you two…look nothing alike!"
"Its not funny." Smooshy said with annoyance before grabbing Star, making her drop her wand, and ran off with the Mewman in hand.
"Star!" Lincoln yelled before making chase to Smooshy to rescue his friend. As Smooshy ran down the stairs, Lincoln chased after the monster princess and aimed his left hand like a gun at her. "Flare gun!" Lincoln then proceeded to shoot fireballs out of the tips of his fingers managing to hit princess Smooshy's butt.
"Ow!" Princess Smooshy yelled out in pain before charging out the door and outside, quickly turning around to glare at Lincoln. "What's your people's problem with my butt?!"
"That it exists!" Lincoln stated before firing another blast of fire towards Smooshy, only for the monster to jumped up and avoid it, climbing onto an upper part of the house.
"Let me go!" Star yelled as she struggled against Smooshy's strong grip.
"Hmmm, how about no!" Smooshy told Star with an evil smirk before taking out her phone and doing another selfie. "Camera phone." Smooshy then jumped up again, avoiding an ice blast from Lincoln, and grabbed onto the part of the house that was Star's. However, due to carrying around Star, Smooshy could only hang on with one arm and started slipping off. "Nose grab!" Using her trunk, Smooshy attached to the castle-part of the house and used it to climb up.
"Don't worry Star! I'm coming!" Lincoln reassured his friend as he started use his fire to blast his way up.
Smooshy soon reached the top of Star's loft and let out an evil laugh as she took out a pair of dimensional scissors and opened a portal. But at this time Lincoln also made his way to the top of the loft and aimed both of his arms out at Smooshy, but the monster princess smirked as she held Star up. "Careful. You blast me, you blast her!" Smooshy told the Loud boy, using Star as a hostage as well as a get out of Olga's free card.
"Grrrr…" Lincoln growled as he lowered his arm. "You're not gonna get away with this!"
"I think I already have." Smooshy stated with a smirk before aiming a finger at Star's head and firing a laser at it. "Laser finger."
Star gasped as the laser that Smoosy said would remove her face…and something snapped within her. Star's face soon turned to one of anger as she started to flicker like a lightbulb. "I said…let…me…GO!" Suddenly, with an incredible burst of strength, Star started glowing purple again as she escaped from Smoosh with enough force to launch the monster princess into the flag poll that was at the top of Star's loft.
Smooshy groaned from the pain, but before she could recover Star, still glowing purple, grabbed Smooshy by the trunk and started spinning her around. Smooshy yelled as she was spun fast enough that she became a blur. After a few moments of spinning, Star finally threw the monster princess into the air, above the backyard, and bent her legs down and made a mighty leap towards Smooshy, even creating some backlash that pushed Lincoln back a bit.
"Woah…" Lincoln let out as he watched Star catch up to Smooshy in midair and land a powerful punch to the monster princess and zooming past her. Star then turned around in midair and a platform of purple magical energy appeared under Star's feet, ceasing her progress through the air. Star then used the platform as a springboard and launched herself back at Smooshy, landing another punch.
Star then repeated this process a few times, to the point of becoming a glowing purple blur, with Smooshy taking hit after hit, each one stronger than the last. Finally, Star had enough punching and launched herself right above Smooshy, combining her fist, and raising them above her head. "TAKE! THIS!" Star then spiked Smooshy all the way to the ground like a volleyball.
The impact was loud and it shook the earth. When the dust cleared, it showed Smooshy laying in a creator in a weird pose that reminded Lincoln of a really disappointing man. Bruises covered her entire body with some blood leaking out of her trunk.
Lincoln was quite surprised by the damage Star caused, when said girl suddenly floated back down to the top of her loft next to Lincoln, still glowing purple and heavily breathing. But when Star reached the ground, she quickly fell to her knees, panting heavily with sweat quickly covering her body. "Star!" Lincoln called out to in concern as he quickly picked her back up, letting her lean on him. "Are you ok."
"Y-Yeah…just…took…a lot…out of me…" Star said in between breathes, bags being scene under her eyes.
"Yeah, I could tell." Lincoln said with concern in his voice. "Come on, lets get you back to bed. I'm sure those St. Olga guys will come by for her like they did with Pony Head."
"Yeah…sleep…sleep sounds nice." Star agreed as she took more breaths. "…Carry me?"
Lincoln sighed, but smiled and nodded. "Alright, up we go." Lincoln then proceeded to carry Star piggy back style.
"Thanks Lincoln…" Star said with a heavy and loud yawn. "You're the best…"
"Yeah. I know." Lincoln couldn't help but say with a smirk as he proceeded to carry Star back inside and to bed, finally ending the night.
