READ THIS AUTHORS NOTE: If you are a new reader, the next few chapters were written a very long time ago. I am in the process of updating/rewriting them, but if you're reading this, I clearly haven't yet. Not only are these chapters poorly written, but there are also some continuity errors presented in the next chapters, like Marco and Kate not knowing that Star is from Mewni. Or how Star can see James without an explanation. And even how Kate suddenly has a broken arm in some chapters. Until I update these, you will simply have to deal with it. Ignore it, or accept it, I really don't care. Just don't tell me that these errors are here, I already know.

It had been two weeks since I figured out who Star really was. I had lost his locket a week ago, but I wasn't worried because I knew I'd find it eventually. It was about 7:00 PM. Marco, Kate, and me had decided to intoduce Star to a monthly tradition, Movie Night. I was looking at myself in my bathroom mirror. I felt nothing but shock. I had just put my contacts on, but they did nothing. My eyes were still green. They seemed to faintly glow almost. My brain started to hurt; I glanced around at my surroundings, the walls wobbled like Jello. A faint ringing in my ears began to start; it was like a dog whistle. My legs became weak and I collapsed on the floor. My eyes felt like they were burning. I tried to stand up a few times but failed at every attempt. I tried to scream for help but my mouth wouldn't move. I couldn't breathe. I felt blood leak from my nose. Visions were flashing through my head. One was of myself on fire. Marco stood in front of me, watching. In the real world, my body felt like it was burning. The ringing got louder. My eyes felt like they were about to explode. Then, it all stopped. I stood up and looked at myself in the mirror, tears poured from my eye even though it didn't feel like I was crying. The lower half of my face was covered in blood from my nose. My eye color hadn't changed; it was still the bright green I had seen originally. I took deep, slow breaths in an attempt to calm myself down.

Knocking from the door began to echo through the room. "Are you done yet, Landin? We're about to start the movie," Kate's voice came from underneath the door.

I took one last breath. "Yeah. I'll be out in a few minutes," I quietly said.

A few moments of silence passed "Okay," she said before her footsteps lead away from the door and went downstairs.

I took one more long look at my eyes, then grabbed some paper towels and wiped the blood off my face. Seeing as they did nothing now, I took my contacts off, replaced hmy jeans with a pair of pajamas that were on the bathroom counter, and left the bathroom.

I walked into the living room and was greeted with Star, Marco, and Kate sitting on the couch. Marco looked over at me, "What took you?" he asked.

I walked over and sat down next to Star; I was trying to be more friendly with her. "I had a bloody nose," I said without letting the lie leak onto my face. I looked at the coffee table only to see that it was cleared off. "When is the popcorn going to be done?"

Marco cringed. "I was actually thinking that I should make nachos."

I raised an eyebrow. "Nachos? On movie night?"

Marco didn't look like he was going to respond, but he didn't have to since Kate was already talking. "We might as well, Star has never got to try Marco's world-famous Nachos before."

"I've actually never tried nachos in general," Star chimed in.

"Good point. Nachos it is then," I said.

"Alright," Marco stood up, "let me go make them," he said, walking into the kitchen.

I looked over at Kate, she was staring at me. No, she wasn't staring at me exactly. It was my eyes that were the center of her attention, not me. "What? Is there something on my face?" I asked.

Kate continued to stare at me. The world started to sound muffled, like someone had glued pillows to my ears. It sounded like Kate said something, but I couldn't make out what. I started to hear that painful ringing again. It sounded like a dog whistle except louder. I looked around in a desperate attempt to prove I wasn't going insane, but it only proved the opposite. The walls "glitched", the lights flickered, the ground shook, and yet, I was the only one reacting. I stood up and looked at my hands. For only a moment it looked like blood had covered them. I tried to prevent it but tears leaked from my eyes. The world around me seemed to invert in color, but only in brief flickers. I looked back at Kate, her eyes were cloudy, her skin was pale, and she stared. I looked at Star, she was exactly the same. The world seemed to scream at me, so I did the only thing I could, I closed my eyes and breathed. I ignored everything and only focused on my lungs.

For a second, I felt at peace, like I could stay there forever and be happy. That feeling died the moment it was born. Something suddenly forced me to open my eyes. I looked around only to find that I was back on the cliff from my nightmare, something instantly caught my eye. The city that once stood in front of me was in ruins. The castle seemed like it was ripped in half, it was on fire. The people that were once in the city, alive and happy, lay cold and stiff on the roads. Then, like last time, I heard someone scream, except, this time, I knew Star was the source. I teleported to the floor below me, bodies were pilled around me. I ran towards the screaming, it was coming from the castle. When I got there, I tried to push the castle doors open but they wouldn't budge. They were too heavy to move. The screaming only got louder each time I tried to open them. Eventually, the screaming stopped, the only thing I heard was the wind. Then the door busted open, sending me flying into the ground. I looked up to see the inside of the castle engulfed in darkness. I could hear footsteps echo through the castle, but I didn't know the source.

They sounded really close when they stopped. The air was still and I could smell the most disgusting smell. Then, the thing inside through something at me. it landed next to me. I looked at it. It was a head, a human head. It was the source of the smell. Their hair was blonde. I got closer to the head to see their face and then it hit me, it was Star. Her eyes that used to glow laid still and hazed over. Blood leaked from her neck. I was sent into shock. I looked back over at the castle. The thing that killed her was still in the darkness. I tried to scream at it, but I could barely muster a grunt. I swear I heard it laugh. It looked like it opened it's eyes because there were glowing, red, circles where a human's eyes would be. I stared at them, they stared back. Their eyes seemed to pierce into my soul. Visions flashed through my head, but I don't remember them anymore. Then I heard a voice that sent chills down my spine. I don't remember what they said, I just know I was terrified, then the world went black.

It stayed black for a while, but I eventually started to regain my vision. I could barely make out three figures standing over me. I could hear them saying something, but the ringing in my ears overpowered their voices. My vision started to get clearer. I could now see that I was in my house's living room. Then I could just barely make out the closet figure to me. It was Marco, he had a phone in his hands. Tears were formed in his eyes. Then I could see Kate. She was pacing back and forth and covering her mouth, tears rolled down her cheeks. Finally, I saw Star, she was standing over me, she was lightly grasping her throat. Then, everything that had happened washed over me.

It felt like something was in my throat so I started to cough, I could hear everyone around me gasp. Marco dropped his phone and rushed over to me. He lifted me up and put me on the couch. "Thank god you're okay," he said, hugging me.

I tried to return the hug but my body was too weak to move, "What happened?" I asked. I didn't remember passing out, just the weird dream.

Kate rushed over. "I t-thought your contacts weren't in, so I-I told you." She was clearly shaken up. "Y-you just stared, then you stood up and collapsed on the floor."

My nose was aching so I put my finger to it: it was bleeding again. "I'll get you some tissues," I heard Star say before seeing her rush to the bathroom.

I could hear mom's voice coming from Marco's phone, "What's happening? Did he wake up?"

Marco walked over and picked up the phone, "Yeah, he did. He has a bloody nose now."

"How long was I out?" I asked Kate; I was still a little dazed.

Her face looked even more dazed than I was. "I think seven minutes, but I'm not really sure."

Star came out of the bathroom with a box of tissues, "Here you go." She handed them to me, her hands were unsteady.

"Thanks," I got a few tissues and stuck them in my nose, "I guess this is going to be a movie night you won't forget." I looked her in the eye; for just a brief flash, I could still see her head on the floor. She nodded in response.

Marco was still talking to mom, "If I was you, I'd bring him to the doctors as soon as possible." Mom said something but it was to quiet to hear, "Yeah, besides for the bloody nose, he's fine. He's talking like nothing happened."

Kate looked at me. "Do you know why you passed out?"

"Nope, I felt perfectly fine," I lied.

"Alright, bye," Marco said before putting his phone in his pocket. "Since your breathing and seem fine, Mom is going to bring you to the doctor's next week, but if it happens again, she'll bring you to the hospital," he finished as he walked towards us.

"Well then, I'll make sure not to collapse again." I stood up, nearly losing my balance. "I'm going to my room," I started to walk to the staircase, "Could you join me Star, I need to talk to you about 'that thing'," I said with a wink. I was referring to her magic. She seemed to understand what I was referring to because she rushed over to the staircase. Kate seemed to notice my wink because she looked confused, I just smiled at her before going upstairs.

Once me and Star got to the room, I closed the door and locked it. She looked concerned, "Well, what is it?"

"Do you have any spell that can tell me what's happening to me?" I asked.

"No, but there is Glossaryck."

"What's Glossaryck going to do, tell me some dad joke. Maybe he'll give me a good pun to laugh at while I'm dying."

Star chuckled, "No, not at all. You know that gem he has in his head, well, it can do a lot more than just look nice. It can somehow 'scan' your soul and then Glossaryck can tell you what your missing or what's causing you problems. I've done it a few times, I'm apparently missing a soulmate and me being stressed out about becoming a queen is causing me a lot of problems."

I walked over to her book which was sitting on her bed, "Well, let's do it," I said, opening the book.

I flipped to the last page and Glossaryck came floating out. "What do you want London," he said, his tone is hard to describe but it didn't sound serious.

"That's not how you pronounce my name," I said annoyed, he had been saying my name like that since he learned what it was. Glossaryck smirked, "You're doing it on purpose, aren't you." I said, he just continued to smirk, "That doesn't matter right now. I need you to do your 'scan thing'. You know, when you 'scan' my soul."

Glossaryck "stood up" but was levitating, "Okay, give me a good reason too," he said.

Star stepped in between me and him, "Because I said so," she stared at him with her arm's crossed.

Glossaryck sighed, "Fine." Glossaryck motioned to the right of him, "Move out of the way princess," Star stepped out of the way. "Now don't move because I'm about to pull your soul out of your body and if you take one little step, it will shatter into a million pieces," he said.

I gulped, "Alright."

"He's just joking, right Glossarck?" she asked, Glossarck didn't respond.

Glossaryck put his hands together and started to chant in some language I didn't understand, he pushed his hands out, they were glowing red, "Now remember, don't move," he said before a shockwave of energy pulsated out of him and went over me.

The surroundings started to glow red. Anything that was ten pounds or less floated, even I started to float. Another shockwave pulsated out of Glossarck, this time my hair and jacket were blown back by it. I started to hear voices chant the same thing Glossarck chanted. Glossaryck's gem glowed. The voices got louder. The room got darker. Soon, Glossaryck was the only source of light. Then I heard a "pop" and everything stopped. I felt empty. I saw a blob of colors float towards Glossaryck. Once it got there, Glossaryck's gem absorbed it. Nothing happened for a few minutes and I was starting to feel cold and depressed. Luckily, the blob of colors finally floated out of his gem. The Blob got real close to my face, it smelled weird, I don't really have any other way to describe it. In a way, I could see myself in the formless blob that floated in front of me. Suddenly, another shockwave of energy pulsated from Glossaryck. I heard a loud bang and I felt normal again. I fell onto the floor. I panted, it felt like I hadn't breathed the entire time.

Glossarck floated in front of me, "You have an interesting soul for a human." he said.

I looked at him in his tiny eyes, "Cool, now what's wrong with me?" I asked.

"You're missing an object of sentimental value that is also important to your well being, this is causing you problems," he said.

I sighed, "That doesn't help at all, could you be a bit more clear?" I said with an annoyed tone.

Glossaryck facepalmed, "Look, I'm giving you what the soul told me. I don't know what it means, I'm just saying what I'm told."

"Great, you're no help at all," I said, I pushed Glossaryck back into the book and shut it. I walked over to Star, "Do you know what that means?" I frustratedly asked.

She shrugged, I sighed and started to pace around the room, "Oh, wait, I know," Star blurted out. "What's something you've been missing for a while."

I thought for a while. I tried asking James but I was getting no response from him, then I remembered. "My locket!" I said, "It's been missing for nearly two weeks."

"And how do you feel without your locket?" she asked.

I thought for a second, "Well, compared to before I lost it, I feel more depressed and alone. Why do ask?"

"Because that's the object you're missing!"

"What? No, it's not my locket, is it?"

"Yeah, it is. Think about it for a second. Your entire life you've worn that locket and you've been fine, then the one time you lose it, you start to pass out. It has to be it."

"Do you know where it is? I know I placed it on my nightstand and then I went out for a walk. When I came back, it was gone."

Star cringed, "Well, maybe, but it's a bit complicated," She took a deep breathe, "You see, I have this friend and they're not exactly the most, what's the word, "honest" person. When you went for a walk, they came to visit me, unexpected and uninvited."

I crossed my arms, "Are you trying to suggest that your friend stole my locket.?"

"Kind of. There's a chance they would, but I don't know for sure."

"Invite them over then, I'll take any chance I can get."

"You see, I would, but they're in a different dimension."

"Okay, that's a surprise, how'd they visit you then?"

"They have dimensional scissors," I showed visible confusion, "They're a pair of scissors that let you travel to different dimensions. I don't have mine, my parents took them away when I got here."

I was suspicious, "You have a wand that can summon anything known or from your imagination and you're telling me that you can't go to a different dimension without a pair of scissors."

"I know, it sounds sketchy, but it's the rules."

"Well then, do you have a way to contact this friend?"

"Yeah, of course I do."

I nearly facepalmed, "Then do what I originally asked and tell them to come over."

"Okay, but, they don't really like humans," she said.

"And I don't really like thieves, so we'll both have something not to like. Now invite them over."

"Okay," she hesitantly said. She pulled out what looked like one of those portable mirrors, it had a Star on it. She opened it. Inside there was a mirror and a bunch of buttons below the mirror. She "dialed" a number and the mirror started to ring, she put it to her ear. The mirror stopped ringing and I heard a very excited and loud girl on the other side, I couldn't make out the words she said. "Hey, it's nice to hear your voice again. Could you come over, I need to talk to you," she said. The girl said something back. "Make sure you come in my room and not the living room this time. See you soon," she closed the mirror and put it in her pocket. She turned to me, "She's on her way."

"Okay, how lon-" I was about to finish my sentence when a portal opened behind Star, "That was quick."

Star was about to say something when a horse head came flying through the portal, it floated, there was a trail of glitter behind it. When I got a good look at it, I noticed that it had a horn on it's head, so it was actually a floating Unicorn head. It didn't seem to notice me, "B-Fly!" it nearly screamed at Star.

"Pony Head!" Star said, hugging the head.

I nearly vomited, "You didn't tell me your friend was decapitated unicorn."

Star stopped hugging the head, "Yeah, in hindsight I probably should have warned you," she said. The head which I assume is called Poney Head "turned" around. "Poney Head," Star pointed at me, "This is my roommate Landin, he is the only person on earth to know that I'm from a different dimension," she said.

Poney Head floated around me, she looked at me like I was some lab rat. "Why did you tell him B-Fly? He seems so bland and uninteresting. Oh wait, that's how all humans are," she said.

"Star, why did you become friends with such asshole. Oh, wait, because that's how all thieves are," I said, mocking Pony Head's previous statement

Pony Head hovered back in the way a human would step back in shock, "How dare you call me a thieve," she floated over to Star, "B-Fly, what's he talking about?" she loudly whispered in her ear.

"You see, he's missing a locket and I told him that you like to steal stuff, so he asked me to call you over," she hesitantly said.

Poney Head floated in front of my face, "Well I got news for you Lamedin, I didn't steal anything," she said, her tone sounded like she was the main character in a tv show about to be caught doing something bad.

"First off, great name calling. 'Lamedin', sounds like something my kindergarten bullies would come up with," I crossed my arms, "Second of all, I believe you did, It's gold and the locket is a heart," I said noticing that she had it around her neck.

"Nope! Haven't seen it," she floated over to the still open portal, "Sorry to cut this short B-Fly, but I don't like your roomma-," she was about to finish her sentence when I interrupted her.

"You're wearing it dumbass," I said, pointing at her neck.

She looked down at the locket, her eyes were wide, "Oh," she said. I don't know how, but she somehow took it off without hands, "Bye B-Fly, see you soon!" she said before rushing through the portal, it closed behind her.

"Finally," I walked over and picked up my locket, "What an asshole," I said.

"She can be a bit mean but if you give her time she'll be a completely different person," Star said.

"I'll be completely happy if I never see her again," I looked at my locket, it looked rusted, "I hope I feel better after I put this on."

"If not, we'll just search for another item," Star said.

I took a deep breath, "Alright, here's the moment of truth," I said before putting it on.

When it went around my neck, everything went white, but only for half a second. Once the white went away, I noticed that everything "popped" more than before, everything was brighter, I felt happier, but there was one big difference. I could feel a presence in my head. I instantly knew who this was and called them out. There was a swirl of light in front of me and when it faded, James stood where it once was.

"What's up, something wrong?" he asked me.

I was about to respond when I remembered Star was in the room, I looked over at her and saw the sheer shock that was on her face. "What's wrong Star?" I asked Star. James turned around to face her.

She pointed at James, "Who is that?" was all she could say.

I was surprised, "Wait, you can see him too?" I asked.

James looked even more surprised, "You can see me?"

Star looked confused, "Of course I can see you, now who are you?"

James looked overjoyed, "Another person can see me!" he said, nearly screaming.

"Who the fuck are you!" she once again asked, screaming this time.

"Alright Star, calm down, let me explain," I motioned for her to sit on my bed, she did. When it looked like she had fully calmed down, I continued. "This is James. He has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. We thought he was invisible to everyone besides me since whenever he is in front of a person, that person doesn't notice him," I put my hand through James, "He's real, but his body isn't in reality. We originally thought that his body was a form my mind came up with for him, but since you can see him, that's obviously not the case. I don't know what he is, he doesn't know what he is, no one knows what he is. He's a mystery."

"Okay, I get what he is, but why can I see him?" she asked.

I shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe it's because you're mewman," I suggested.

James thought for a moment, then his face lit up like he just found the cure for cancer, "Or maybe it's because of her wand," he said.

Star seemed to agree with James, "Yeah, it could be, the wand does let me see things that normal people can't see," she said.

"Like what?" I asked.

"Words for the most part. Secret messages that would require some special tool. It's like a, what do you guys call them, blacklight, yeah, that's what they're called."

"It makes sense but I don't see your wand," I said.

"Oh yeah, it's in my nightstand's drawer," she said.

James looked disappointed, "Dammit, I really thought I had something going there."

I pretended to pat James's back, "Don't worry buddy, you'll get the next theory right," I jokingly said.

Star giggled, "You two are like brothers," she said. I nodded in response. "You know Landin, I thought you were going to be a normal human."

"And I thought you were going to be a normal roommate that wasn't friends with a floating unicorn head or a magical princess from another dimension, but life had a different plan."

"While you two talk, I'm going to go back into the mindscape," James said,

"Me and you are going to talk later," I said before James turned to water and leaked through the floor.

I looked over at Star, she looked concerned, "What just happened to him?" she asked.

"He always has flashy exits, don't worry, he's fine," I said. I walked over to her nightstand and pulled out the wand, I walked back over to her, "Now show me some magic with this thing, I haven't seen any yet," I said, handing it to her.

She took it, "Okay, what do you want to see?" she asked.

I thought for a moment, "Summon a puppy."

"Never done that before but I'll try," she stood up from the bed.

I was slightly scared, "Should I step back?" I asked.

"Yeah, probably," Star said back. I ran to the other side of the room.

Star took deep breaths, then the star on her wand started to glow and her hair started to float, a pinkish purple light emitted from her wand. She took one last deep breath before loudly saying, "Super Cute Puppy Spell!" A giant beam of purple and pink came out of her wand and hit the floor, then it stopped. The air sat still and everything was normal. I walked over to where Star did her spell and saw a puppy where the beam hit the floor. Strangely enough, it was a husky. One of it's eyes was green while the other was a comforting red.

I was amazed, "Huh, it worked," I picked up the puppy, it licked my face, "I gotta say, he is super cute."

Star was about to say something when the room's door opened, I turned around and saw Marco standing in the doorframe, "Where did you get that puppy from?" he asked

I was about to tell him when a beam of red came from the puppies eyes and hit Marco in the chest. The beam did nothing besides leave two black smudges where it hit Marco's hoodie. Marco looked at the puppy, then up at me, then at Star, then back to the puppy. He grunted before fainting on the floor.

I dropped the puppy, "Shit."
