While not one of the bigger chapters, I still enjoyed this one as River is a fun character and I set up some future friendships involving him in this. It was a lot of fun and I hope to work more with them in the future. So I hope you guys enjoy.
It was bright and early at the Loud House. Sunlight shined down all around the town at a perfect warm temperature to where it wasn't to hot to just go outside and enjoy a breath of fresh air. But despite this, almost all members of the Loud House are inside their house with the house itself looking rather…different. Mainly orange tube slides that were coiled around the house both going inside and outside.
Lincoln was currently unaware of his however as he stepped out of his room wearing his usual attire, shoes excluded leaving him in only his socks, and rubbing his tired eyes. Letting out a yawn, the Loud Boy heard Star's sing songy voice. "Morning Lincoln~"
"Morning Star-Whoaah!" But as Lincoln left his room, he was suddenly wide awake as he ended up stepping into a pool of rushing water and slide right into the orange water slide Star had conjured up with her magic. Lincoln's scream of surprise had turn into excited cheers and laughter as he slide through the entirety of the water slide. It eventually came to an end as Lincoln slide right into a pool that made up his now larger living room now. Certainly, a work of Star's magic.
"That. Was. Awesome!" Lincoln cheered as he reemerged from the water, a big giddy smile on his face as he look to the rim of the pool and saw Star standing there looking down at him with a big grin on her face, magic wand in hand. "I know right? Stairs are so boring."
"Weeeeeeeee!" Now coming out of the water slide was Lily, who was wearing a light purple one-piece suit and orange floaties, along with her eight laser puppies who all barked cutely as they dived into the pool.
"Oh that was awesome Star!" Lincoln said to the princess, who giggled at seeing the smallest Loud and her laser puppy entourage swim around the pool, while he floated on his back. "I just hope my parents don't flip out."
"Oh don't worry bout us son, just enjoy the water." Lincoln looked to the sound of his father's voice and saw Lynn Sr sitting in a lawn chair in his usual green trunks with sunglasses on his face. Rita was laying right on top of her husband simply enjoying laying by the pool side with him. There was also a table with two drinks in coconut shells next to them.
"Ain't this the life bro?" Lincoln looked around to see all of his sisters were in fact enjoying the pool time. Lynn and Luna were having a chicken fight with Luan and Lana, Leni was also sitting in a lawn chair next to an open window with a tanning mirror, Lola was laying on an inflatable raft showing off her sparkly bathing suit gown, Lucy was content with just dipping her feet down in the water, and even Lisa was enjoying swimming around in the pool with a pool noodle instead of preforming her usual test with pools.
"Huh, looks like everyone's here. At least this isn't a pool we can get kicked out of." Lincoln commented, remembering how his sisters had gotten their entire family kicked out of every single pool in town and even a few outside of Royal Woods. However, the Loud boy cringed as he felt something sloshing in his feet. "Hold on Star give me a second." Lincoln then reached his hand underwater and proceeded to take off both of his wet socks and throw them out of the pool. "Ah that's much better. Let me tell you Star there is nothing worse than wet socks."
"Fun fact, wet socks are actually a form of torture in numerous countries." Lisa said as she swam by on her pool noodles.
"I believe that." Lincoln immediately said.
"Man, I love living here!" Star laughed out with a giant smile on her face as Lincoln climbed out of the pool. "If my parents found out I've been using magic for stuff like this they'd flip!"
"Well luckily we Louds thrive on fun and good times." Lincoln encouraged Star as he patted her on the back. "We just like for people to pursue what they like and live their lives to the fullest doing whatever they want!"
"Hehe! You guys are the best!" Star happily said as she gave Lincoln a hug.
DING-DONG!
Everyone's attention was brought to the sound of the door belling winging as Star separated from Lincoln and started heading towards the door with her usual peppy grin on her face. "I'll get it~" Star told everyone as she came up to the door and opened it up.
Suddenly the princess was meant with the sound of a blowing horn and looked to see none other then her dad King River Butterfly riding on top of a manservant. "Oh hey dad." Star casually greeted her father before her mind caught up with the situation. Her dad was here?! "Dad?!"
"Hello-" River's greeting to his daughter was cut short as Star slammed the door right on his face as she looked at all the Louds who were know starring at her and seeing the panicked look on her face.
"Oh no! I need to hide everything!" Star quickly said as she pointed her wand at the room. "Sorry everyone! Pool party's gotta end early today!" All the Louds awwwed in response at their in home pool party had to be cut short as Star quickly used her magic her turn the living room back to normal size and get rid of the pool, get ride of the slide, and put everyone in there normal cloths and make them nice and dry.
Once that was done, Star opened the door again to face her father. "What a pleasant surprise!" Star greeted her father once more with nervous laughter. "What brings you here unexpectedly?"
"Well, I was in the neighborhood and... Agh. Who am I kidding?" River sighed as he looked down with a shameful look on his face. "Your mother, has banished me from the castle."
"Tch, typical mom…" Star muttered with some slight anger in her voice. What right did her mother have to kick dad out of the castle? "So what did you go anyway?"
"Nothing!" River claimed. "I just left a garment or two laying around." River then came into the room followed by his manservant who was struggling to drag in all of River's heavy looking luggage. "I thought perhaps, I could stay here for a day while this blows over."
"Hmmm, that's not a bad idea." Rita said as she quickly started forming an idea in her hand as she took her husbands wrist. "River, would it be ok with you if you watched our kids while me and my husband went to that new spa that opened up in the next town for the night."
"Well I'd be delighted to!" River quickly agreed with the idea as he looked over the family in front of him. "It certainly looks like a lively bunch you have here!"
"Great! Then its settled!" Lynn Sr said as he and his wife suddenly zoomed into their room real quick and took out their own luggage making their kids deadpan at them. They were waiting for an opportunity. "Alright kids! We'll be back tomorrow night, do what River tells you to do! Bye!"
"Bye kids, love you!" Rita quickly said as she and Lynn Sr left the house, everyone hearing the sounds of Vanzilla quickly driving away.
"…What a lovely marriage those two have!" River said after a brief moment of silence. Just then the king heard yipping and felt some ruffling in his beard and looked to see one of the laser puppies sticking its head out of the king's beard. "Ah, hello!" River greeted the puppy only to get blast in the face by its laser eyes. River yelped a bit in response as his beard and eyebrows bursts into flames and smolders with the king lightly glaring at his daughter. "Star, if you mother was here and knew you were using your wand inappropriately, she would send you straight to St. Olga's…" Star winced a bit as the rest of the Louds worried about Star getting in trouble. But their worried were soon put to rest as River let out a hearty laugh and smile. "But I'm not your mother! I rather enjoy destructive magical puppies."
Star gave a bright smile as the Loud kids all sighed in relief. "This visit is actually gonna be fun then!" Star said in an excited tone as she and her father hugged each other.
"Father-Daughter day!" The two Butterfly's cheered in unison.
Just then Lily came up to River and took the laser puppy out of the kings hand. "Sorry mister." Lily apologized for her puppy scorching River's beard. "Pendleton is kinda trigger happy."
"Oh no worries little one. Behold!" River then grunted as he strained his face a bit. A few of the Loud kids rose brows, thinking River looked constipated, but watched in awe as River grew his beard back and to normal colors through sheer force.
"Woooooooah!" Most of the Loud sisters let out in an impressed tone. There were some exceptions like Lola who was slightly disgusted and Lucy who didn't really react at all.
"How did you do that?" Lana asked with sparkles in her eyes.
"Sheer manliness my dear girl!" River stated as he punched his chest proudly.
"Alright Star why don't you show your dad around the house while I got put on some new socks." Lincoln stated as he looked down at his bare feet. "Starting to get a little cold."
"Sounds good Linc!" Star said enthusiastically as she grabbed her dad by the mustache and started leading him up the stairs. "Upstairs we go!"
"Tally-ho!" River cheered as he and his daughter went up the stairs. The royal duo then made their way to the second floor of the Louds House where Star quickly reached up and opened up the hatched leading up to her room.
"Check out my room!" Star told her dad as they poked their heads up to see Star's room. River quickly saw many magical creatures occupying Star's room, all creatures his daughter created with her wand, and having that Star vide to them of endless cheer and happiness. The creatures ranged from a living pink cloud, monkeys, a flying snail, gnomes, the beanbag monster, a clown, a teddy bear with an eyepatch and a flying pig.
They watched as a few of the creatures were watching and betting on pillowing fights. River let out a hearty laugh which got all the creature's attention as they all waved and smile at Star. "Hi Star!"
"I'm Kevin. I'm new!" The clown introduced himself.
"Magnificent!" River said with an amused smile.
"If you like this, let me show you the most magical room in the whole house." Star told her father as they dropped down to the floor, with Star closing up her door, before the Butterfly princess led her father to the room at the far end of the hallway and revealed to her father, "The bathroom!"
River gasped in excited curiosity as he stepped into the room and looked around at all the fancy and magical items the bathroom held from the towel rack to the various soaps and bottles of shampoo and conditioner. The king's eyes then sparkled as the looked at the toilet and saw down on top of it. "What a glorious throne!" The king then noticed how the toilet was opened and asked her daughter. "Why does it have a hole?"
"Uuuuuum…" Star began nervously as she knew what kind of…business the toilet was meant for. "humans put things in there and flush 'em down."
"Flush?" River asked, never hearing that word before. "What's a flush? The king's eyes then moved to the small lever attached to the toilets side. In complete curiosity, River pushed the lever and hears the sound of draining water from below. Jumping of the throne, the king of Mewni watched in awe as the water swirled around and drained from the bowl. "My word! Where does the water go?"
"Nobody knows." Star said in a mysterious tone. "It's one of Earth's greatest mysteries."
River then looked at the toilet paper hanging from the wall next to the toilet. Grabbing it without tearing off pieces from the rest of the roll, the king asked his daughter. "Does this go in it?"
"All the time!" Star told her father who proceeded to stick the toilet paper right into the toilet and flushed it again. Due to the paper still being attached to the rest of the roll, both Butterflys watched as the entire roll of toilet paper was flushed down the drain.
River gasped in amazement before going over to the sink and picking up a yellow toothbrush. "What about this?" River asked his daughter as he showed her the tooth cleaning tool.
"I don't see why not." Star shrugged as she watched River flush the toothbrush down the toilet.
"This?" River then held up a toilet brush.
"Go for it!" Star said with sparkles in her eyes.
Back in Lincoln's room, the white boy had just finished putting on some new socks and had remembered to put on his shoes as well. Smiling, Lincoln proceeded to exit his room only to raise an eyebrow at hearing the toilet struggling to flush while hearing River and Star's voices coming from inside. "What are they doing in there?" Lincoln asked himself as he walked over to the bathroom door and opened it up.
The Loud boys eyes widened as he saw River had stuffed the toilet with all sorts of objects like the plunger, a whole container of soap, the flying pig from Star's room and even a bowling bowl. "Hey Lincoln!" Star greeted as she and her dad ran out of the bathroom right as Lincoln opened the door.
"Love the bathroom!" River cheered as he followed his daughter down stairs.
Lincoln then looked to the over stuff toilet and sighed. "Lana!" He called out to his little tomboy sister. "It's a code periwinkle!"
"I'll get big bertha!" He immediately heard Lana call back.
"Oh you are just gonna love this!" Star could now be seen leading her father to the football field of the Royal Woods high school. "Lincoln showed me this during my first few weeks on earth!"
"What sort of battlefield is this?" River asked with a raised brow as he looked around the sports field. But the king's eyes widened and sparkled as he took a look at one of the goal post of the field. "My…what a glorious slingshot!"
"Actually, humans call that a goal post." Star informed her father who rose his brow once more at the term. "And that and this whole field is used to play a game called football!" Star then looked to the ground and conveniently found a football by their feet and picked it up to show her father. "And this is the football itself!"
"This is football?" River asked in a confused tone as he looked over the ball. "It doesn't even look like a foot!"
Before Star could explain to her father about the item and the game it's used for, but before they could the two Royals looked to see none other then Lynn Loud coming towards them wearing her football gear. "Hey Star! Hey Star's dad!" The young athlete greeted the two Butterfly's.
"Hey Lynn!" Star greeted with her usual peppy wave and smile. "What're you doing here~"
"Just thought I'd get some practice in." Lynn said as she stretched out a bit to loosen her joints. "Can't be getting to lazy ya know."
Star nodded in understanding while River pointed to the gear Lynn was wearing. "What kind of armor is that?" River asked in an unimpressed tone. "How is that supposed to defend you from a monsters attack!?"
"No, no, no, no dad! That's not the point of that stuff." Star told her dad as Lynn laughed a bit at the déjà vu of the situation. She remembered when Star pretty much thought the same thing…and then proceeded to bring chaos to one of her games. "Its meant for that football game that I just told you about!"
"I see…" River said, still not knowing what Football was.
"Yeah, wearing my school's colors and just looking awesome!" Lynn said as she banged her fist against her chest plate. Just then Lynn smirked as an idea came to her mind as she looked at River holding the football. While River was a rather short man, the 16-year-old Loud could somehow tell River was more then he looked. "Hey River, how about you show me what you got?"
"Pardon?" River asked as he looked up at Lynn.
"Ya know, show me your moves and such!" Lynn explained with River letting out an 'Ooooh' as he seemingly understood what the young athlete meant. Lynn then crouched down getting in a starting football pose as she said. "Alright! Ready when you are!"
"Very well my dear." River said in a rather regal manner. Both Star and Lynn raised an eyebrow as River tossed the ball to Star and started walking away…only to turn around and start charging at Lynn with a battle crazed look on his face. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"
"What the-" Before Lynn could finish River tackled the 16-year-old to the ground and pinned her down while holding her leg wrestler style. "Hey! What do ya think you're doing?!"
"Haha! Never underestimate a Johanson dear Lynn!" River told Lynn, who tried to throw the king of her, with a hearty laugh as he tried to keep the girl pinned to the ground. "You asked to see what I'm made of and you're going to experience what true Mewman strength is!"
"Oh this is how its gonna go huh?!" Lynn then finally and properly fought back as she managed to move her hands over to River's cape and use it to pull the king off of her. Once on longer pinned down on the ground, the young athlete quickly stood up and threw River by his cape over her shoulder.
"Ahahaha! That's the spirit!" River said before Lynn finally got into it and gave a wide grin as she proceeded to pile drive the king of Mewni. "Oof! Good one! But watch the master at work!" River then grabbed Lynn by her pony tail and started spinning the young athlete around before tossing her forward.
However, Lynn was able to recover in midair and land on her feet as she let out an excited laugh. "Haha! That's what I'm talking about!" Lynn said as her blood started pumping from the wresting she and Star's dad were doing. "Bring on your highness!"
"Oh its on alright! RAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Both River and Lynn screamed in unison as they charged at each other.
"Yeah! Go dad! Go Lynn!" Star cheered as she watched as River and Lynn continued to wrestle. The princess's eyes then widened as she saw the wrestling itself in front of her. "Ok wow really getting into the fighting you guys." Star then winced as a crack sound was heard. "Oooooo, that's gonna leave a mark…"
"Haha! You really got the stuff young Lynn." River, Star, and Lynn could now be seen walking home. Lynn and River currently had dirt and bruises over their body and tears in their cloths. The two had wrestled for nearly an hour before Star had to come in and force them to stop before they seriously hurt each other.
"You weren't to bad yourself River!" Lynn complimented the king, now knowing his name as Star followed from behind the two. "Star your dad is awesome!"
"I know right!" Star replied with a big grin on her face. "I can't believe I didn't see this awesome side to you before dad!"
"Ah what can I say." River said with a shrug as he puffed out his chest proudly. "Gotta keep some things to myself. Keeps my spirits high and your mother from getting on my case. I love my precious Moon-Pie but she can be a bit…overbearing at times."
"Know that feeling." Star agreed with a bit of a blank tone.
"Oh yeah! This mud is perfect!"
"Oh, hey Lans!" Lynn shouted and waved as they approached the Loud House. Sitting in the front yard in a nice and big muddle puddle was Lana who was using her time to swim around in the earthy slop. "How it hanging?"
"Good!" Lana said as she rolled around in the mud to get it all over her body. This caused Star to gain some déjà vu as it was only two days ago that she saw Father Time himself doing exactly what Lana was doing. "Just enjoying the mud of the day!" The tomboy then actually looked to Lynn and River and saw all the bruises they had and asked. "What the heck happened to you two?"
"A battle of sure might my dear." River answered as he wrapped an arm around Lynn's waist and pulled his new wrestle buddy close. "Your older sister here sure proved a challenge even for the likes of me." Lynn laughed a bit at the compliment as River separated from her and scooped some mud up with his index and middle finger. "Now what is it you said you were doing?"
"Oh ya know, just enjoying some mud swimming." Lana said as she somehow began doing back strokes in the muddle puddle as River's eyes widened. "I tell ya guys nothing beats the mud around here. I found some of the mud in Mewni but it was to thin. Now earth mud, just the perfect amount of dirt and water to make it nice and goopy. You're free to join if…where'd he go?"
Both Star and Lynn looked to the spot River was standing only to see that the king had suddenly disappeared. Before anyone could question his whereabouts…
"CANNON BALL!" They looked up at the roof of Star's loft to see River in nothing but his loincloth. Star, Lynn, and Lana watched as River jumped in cannon ball formation and made a mighty splash in the mud and got Lana, Star, and Lynn covered in mud since they were very much in the crossfire.
"Ah man!" Lynn complained as while she didn't exactly mind being covered in mud, having it happen quite often when playing sports, but she didn't exactly enjoy it in the way Lana did. "Welp, guess I'm taking a shower. See ya Star. See ya River."
"Bye Lynn~" Star said in a sing song voice as she rapidly waved to the athlete as Lynn made her way inside.
"Haha! That was awesome!" Lana said while happily laughing. River then splashed some mud in the tomboys face causing her to laugh even more as she and River engaged in a mud splash fight. "Didn't know you were into mud to!"
"But of course. I often go hunting in Mewni's bogs and the mud there is simply glorious I must show you sometime." Lana beamed at the idea. The mud she found in Mewni was just some random puddle in the Forest of Certain Death, but an actual bog on Mewni? She had to go! "But we can worry about that later. How about I tell you some of my hunting tales in the meantime my little mud angel?"
"I'd love to!" Lana said as she and River began rolling around in the mud together as River began telling her the tales of his many hunts.
"Aaawww, they're bonding!" Star said with sparkles in her eyes. Looks like her dad visiting would be filled with nothing but great times!
And it was like that…for a while.
That night was when everything changed. Star woke up with her father's underpants right on the bed with her. She found her father had left his junk, dirty cloths and all, all over her room despite not even being here a day so far. And worse than all of that is that her dad kept her up last night constantly wrestling with the magical creatures occupying her room. Meaning Star didn't get a wink of sleep last night.
And it showed as Star had an extremely drowsy and blank look on her face as she mindlessly dumped syrup onto her pancakes with Lincoln watching her while eating cereal. "You ok Star?" Lincoln asked with a concerned tone. "You look a little…off."
"Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba..." Star mindlessly reply.
"It was rather…loud last night." Lincoln said, not realizing the pun he kinda made due to his last name and the name of the house they were in. Ah irony. "What was going on?"
"It wasn't me, Oscar. It was my dad. He's insane!" Star told Lincoln, who rose a brow at being called Oscar. "He just thinks he can come down to Earth and do whatever he wants! He is so inconsiderate!"
"Well have you tried talking to him about it?" Lincoln asked thinking this problem could be solved rather easily.
Star let out a sigh before leaning back in her chair. "No…" But Star soon gained a relax smile as she followed up with. "But I won't need to. He's leaving today and then it won't be my problem. Thank goodness to, I don't know how much more of this I can take." Lincoln hummed a bit, not really liking how Star was handling this problem. Even if River was leaving wouldn't it be better to still talk about any potential issues? Especially when it comes to her parents as Lincoln could easily see that Star and her mother certainly have a very…strained relationship.
But before Lincoln could bring this up to Star, he suddenly saw his little sister Lola walking around carrying Christmas lights for…some reason. "Um, Lola?" Lincoln said, getting said girl's attention. "What're you doing?"
"Setting up lights for the party Star's dad is setting up!" Lola said excitedly as Star and Lincoln's eyes widened. "Now if you excuse me, gotta make sure this is just right!"
"Party? What party?!" Star asked as her dad never told her about throwing a party at Lincoln's house.
"WOOHOO!" Suddenly, jumping right through the open window, was River himself was he landed right in front of his daughter. "Hello Star!"
"Dad! What's this I'm hearing about a party?!" Star immediately asked her father with a bit of an irritated tone. "What's going on?!"
"Oh, jeez! I forgot to tell you." River said with a hearty laugh as he rubbed the back of his head. "I'm having such a great time here, I've decided to stay! Isn't that great?" Both Lincoln and Star's jaws dropped at the news, with Star's eye twitching and her body faintly flickering purple a bit. Thankfully that last one went unnoticed by everyone. "And to celebrate my moving here, I've invited some friends to check out my new digs."
DING DONG
River smiled as he and the two with him heard the door bell ring. "They're here!" Lincoln and Star then watched as River walked towards the door and opened it up…and all hell broke loose in the Loud House.
The entire house was soon filled with all sorts of creatures from various dimensions all of which ran into the house and quickly started making a mess of the place. From gnomes, sentient squirrels, cactus-like creatures, fish people, goblins, and all sorts of different creatures. Even King Pony head was present and was engaged in conversation with River.
"Oh this is so not good!" Star panicked as she looked at the party going on.
"Oh you've gotta be kidding me." Lincoln deadpanned as he noticed a few particular individuals in the party. "My sisters are in on this to…" Looking around, he saw Leni playing typical party games with a group of fish people, Luna was providing music to the party, Luan was telling her jokes, Lynn was arm wrestling with a rather muscular gnome, Lucy was giving a séance to ghost-like creature ironically, Lana was joining a bearded creature in writing on a sleeping creatures face with marker, Lola was showing off her party gown to some of the guest, Lisa was currently doing the one thing she did best at party's…hitting up the desert table and having a sugar rush, and Lily was running around laughing with a lamp shade on her head.
Star then growled as a look of annoyance and anger came to her face. "I'll be right back…" Star then started stomping over to her father, who was still talking to King Pony Head, intent on giving him a talking to. "Dad, I really need to talk to you right now."
River turn to his daughter, but before he could speak to her, suddenly a new loud and obnoxious voice got everyone at the party's attention. "Hey, guys!" Looking to the now open door, everyone saw what looked like a sentient sun creature with sun glasses. "Well, here I am! Yeah! Now the party can start." The living sun then tried to squeeze through the door and only ended up busting through the front of the house. "Ooh, tight squeeze. My bad!"
"Oh, no! Who invited Helios?!" River asked as he and everyone looked at the living sun with annoyance and anger. "That guy is the worst!"
"Gross!" King Pony Head commented. "Now he got his ear pierced?"
"There he goes, eating all the appetizers." River pointed out in a bitter tone as Helios floated over to a snack table and inhaled everything on it.
"Hey!" Lana yelled at the living Sun. "I wanted some of those!"
"He ruins every party and is completely oblivious about it!" River yelled as Helios started ruining the party for everyone.
"Funny. I can weirdly relate." Star commented both sarcastically and angrily.
Meanwhile, standing by the now empty snack table were none other then the frog and alien duo of Bryce and Petrus with the green skinned alien crossing his arms with a grumpy look on his face and the ninja frog eating a bag of salt and vinegar chips. "Dude, you said there were gonna be chicks at this party." Petrus complained to Bryce.
"No I said there would be chips." Bryce said as he chewed on some of his chips.
"No!" Petrus stated in an annoyed tone. "You said chips."
"Well then you obviously misheard." Bryce told Petrus bluntly. "Because I said chips, not chicks." Petrus lightly growled as he slapped the bag of chips out of Bryce's hand causing the ninja frog to glare at his friend.
"Look, people are already going into orbit around him!" Meanwhile back with River and Star, the former had just pointed out how dozens of the party guest were orbiting around Helios like planets with one elf being unfortunate enough to be pulled inside Helios.
"So why don't you just kick him out?" Star suggested, growing more irritated by the second. "Along with everyone else?"
"No way." River stubbornly refused, causing Star's eyes to twitch. "I'm not talking to that tool."
"Ugh!" Star growled out as she stomped over to Helios.
"Whoo! Everybody, dancing really sure works up my appe— Ooh, dessert!" Helios then floated up to a desert table and, just like the appetizers, proceeded to inhale all the sugar treats.
"Noooooooo!" Lisa screamed out in sugar rush fueled devastation. "My sweet confections!"
Star then stomped over to the living run and proceeded to yell at him. "Excuse me, I think you've overstayed your welcome and you gotta go."
Helios gulped down the deserts before looking to Star. "Well, you want to know something?" Helios said to Star in an obnoxious tone. "I may be filled with hydrogen, but you're filled with "annoy-ogen"! You just got burned by the sun!" Helios then started to float away, with Star briefly getting caught in his gravitational pull but managed to escape.
At this point Star has had enough, her face went red with anger as she yelled at the top of her lungs. "DAD!" This quickly got River's attention, as well as a few others, as they flinched at seeing Star's face. "You've had your fun, it was great seeing you, but I have had it up to here with everything! Its time to end this party and for all your friends and you to pack up and go home!"
There was a brief silence in the party, aside from a few awkward coughs, as River scratched the back of his head in reaction to the tone and face his daughter was giving him. "You know sweetie…" River began awkwardly. "You're starting to sound like your mother."
Star froze. Her eyes widened as her pupils dilated in response to what her father just said to her. "Wh-What?!" Star yelled back, now angry for a whole different reason. "No nonono I do NOT sound like-" But just then, in her denial, she ends up looking at a mirror in the room and saw her having the exact same irritated and stern expression her mother has.
"…AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Star then shrieked in terror as she quickly ran up Star, others hearing her slam the door to her room open and shut.
"Star!" Lincoln called out to in concern. The Loud boy had been watching from the dining room and just decided to let Star handle this herself. But it was clear now that she need some help as the Loud boy chased after Star and quickly jumped into her room. Once inside he heard heavy breathing that belonged to Star and quickly started looking around for the girl. "Star? Star where are you?"
Lincoln then eventually found Star at her vanity and looking into the mirror…glowing purple. Star was practically glaring at herself as the words her father told her, comparing her to her mother, stuck with her and was causing her immense amount of stress. "Star?" Lincoln gently called out to in a concern tone. "Are you ok?"
"No, no, NO I'M NOT ALRIGHT!" Star yelled aggressively at Lincoln, her now purple body glowing even brighter and emitting energy that started lightly shaking the room the more Star yelled. "My father's compulsive antics are driving me crazy. So I talk to him about it, and he tells me I sounded like my mom. And when I turned around and looked into a mirror. I had the same angry look my mother always has. I mistook my OWN reflection for my mother?" Star then put a hand to her heart as her breathing intensified. Her glowing body becoming even more violent. "Lincoln, WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?!"
"Ok, ok, ok, just-just calm down." Lincoln gently told Star in a reassuring tone to get the princess to calm down and to hopefully stop glowing purple. "Look, I think I know what's going on." Star looked to Lincoln anxiously, hoping that the Loud boy could tell her whats going on. "I think you're having a mental breakdown. Having to deal with your dad's rambunctious behavior must be putting too much stress on your brain. So, it must be defaulting to what you subconsciously see as a symbol of authority. Your mother."
Star started to take slow heavy breathes in response to Lincoln's words as she looked back at her reflection. "No…No, no, no…I'm not like my mom…" Suddenly Star completely snapped as she gave a look of rage to the reflection. "I'M NOT!" Star then punched the mirror in front of her, cracking it all over leaving her looking at more reflections of herself with an enraged look.
But Star's anger died down as she sighed heavily and fell on her butt to the floor and hugged herself. Lincoln was quick to sit down next to his friend and wrap a supportive arm around her, Star leaning close in response. "Don't worry Star. You're not like your mom." Lincoln reassured the princess.
"Really?" Star quietly asked, her body still glowing purple.
"Yeah, honestly I think anyone in your shoes would react the same way. I know I'm getting irritated at this." Lincoln explained to Star which did manage to cheer her up a bit. "I mean a bunch of rowdy unrespectable people making a mess of your house. Sounds like one of the worst things in the world. Well, other then wet socks of course."
"Hehe, yeah…" Star lightly laughed as a smile came to her face. But just then, Lincoln's words echoed in the princess's mind as her eyes widened. "Wait a second…wet socks…" Just then Star stopped glowing purple as he cheek marks turned to light bulbs.
Star then gained back her bright smile as she stood up and looked down at Lincoln. "Lincoln that's it!" Star told the Loud boy who was happy to see Star smiling again. "Nothing's worse than wet socks! I think I know how to put an end to that party!"
"Well then what are we waiting for?" Lincoln asked with a smile as he stood up.
Star then took out her wand and casted a spell. "Summoning Cloudy Charm!" Star then used her magic to summon a bright pink cloud with a face on it. The cloud laughed and greeted Star as the princess jumped on top of it. "Come on Lincoln! Lets poop this party!"
"Alright!" Lincoln cheered as he hopped onto the cloud behind Star and bounced up and down on it a few times. "Cha la! Head cha la! Cha la! Head cha la!"
Star giggled a few times before directing Cloudy to fly her and Lincoln out of her room and down the stairs where the party seemed to take a turn for the worse as the snacks were all eaten so Helios declared he'd have to eat the entire planet. "I don't think so!" Star said as she pointed her want down on the party. "Super Fun Time Water Slide!" With a massive surge of magical energy, the entire living room was filled up with water like the day before, orange water slide included.
Helios had suddenly disappeared while all the guest at the party groaned and started complaining over wet socks, some of them having it worse due to have more then two feet. So one by one they all started leaving. Even Lincoln's sisters complained over it and headed upstairs.
And despite lacking feet, and legs…and anything other then a head, King Pony Head left as well because, "Because I'm ridiculously apathetic to the suffering of others, I'm leaving too."
"Gentlemen, gentlemen!" River called out to as all his guest left. But just then River gasped as he saw all the destruction made to the living room of the family that graciously let him stay here. "Wow...I really made a mess of things."
Just then a small golf ball sized object floated up to River. Picking it up, the king saw it was Helios who had turned into his due to being hit with all the water. "There's no way I'm poopin' out on this party!" Helios said in a high-pitched voice before squeezing.
"Oh yes you are." Lincoln said as he and Star floated next to River with Lincoln taking Helios, opening a portal with his scissors, and tossing the tiny rock inside.
River sighed again as he sat on the couch, slumped down. "Um, sweetheart, I perhaps got a little carried away." River admitted as Star sat down next to her dad with Lincoln staying on Cloudy. "And I may have been a little inconsiderate. I guess that's why your mother threw me out in the first place. I'm sorry, you guys."
"Its…Its ok dad. Really." Star told her father as she gave him a small smile. "I should have talked to you about it sooner. For what its worth, I really did enjoy spending time with you before things got crazy." This caused River to give his daughter a big warm smile as Star also said. "But you'll patch things up with Mom, right?
"Definitely." River told his daughter with a nod.
The king and princess then shared a warm hug. "Hugs!"
Lincoln smiled at the sight as he jumped off Cloudy and saw down next to Star as River stood up and took out his dimensional scissors. "And don't worry Lincoln! I'll send my top serfs here to make everything better than new before your parents come home!"
"Thanks, I'd appreciate it." Lincoln told the king as he opened up a portal.
"Farewell!" River said his goodbyes before jumping through the portal, leaving Lincoln and Star alone.
Star sighed with a smile as she leaned back on the couch. "It was good that you talked to your dad." Lincoln said to Star as he also leaned back on the couch.
"Yeah, you were right." Star admitted as she leaned closer to Lincoln. "And thanks for the talk you gave me earlier. I really needed that."
"Hehe, anytime sis." Lincoln said as he wrapped an arm around the princess.
Star's eyes widened a bit at what Lincoln called her, but soon smiled and giggled a bit. "Thanks…bro."
