It had been more than an hour since the procedure began, much to Marco's dismay. The dentist was someone called Mr. Enron. He asked the three to go outside and wait until the procedure was done. As he said this, someone was injecting a liquid into Marco's arm (a type of anesthesia), and so Star and his parents were sitting just outside the room, waiting for him. While eating a candy bar, Star kept thinking about this ''anesthesia" and wanted to know more about it's properties. She turned to the two and asked:
"Mr and Mrs Diaz, what's a ''anesthesia''?"
"Oh anesthesia! Well i can guarantee that the dentist will tell you about it better than i can, sorry" Mrs. Diaz said with smile. Star nodded and went back into thinking.
Finally she wondered, does mother know about this? And so, she took her compact mirror phone and called her mother, Moon.
"Star? Where are you?"
"Hi mother, i was just wondering if... wait, are you on the monster temple?"
"Yes Star, i'm trying to help Eclipsa in ruling the kingdom."
"Aww, that's so sweet." Star cleared her throat. "So anyway, do you about this something called "anesthesia"?"
"Anesthesia? Well not much but i know that it makes people feel unconscious." Star already knew this.
"Anything else?"
"Well no, but i bet there was a mention of it in the book of spells, written by your great-grandmother."
"Wait, Estrella the Drafted? But i thought her chapter was just full of drawings and stuff."
"Well, when you put it at that, it doesn't make any sense to her character, but at the end of the day-" The door suddenly opened and out came Mr. Enron with his gloves on with some blood and his procedure mask covering his mouth. Mr and Mrs Diaz stood up and the Mr. Enron said:
"Well Mr and Mrs Diaz, we have successfully removed all 4 teeth from his mouth. Although as you know we used some general anesthesia to do this, so your son may be a bit "in the zone"" He said with a chuckle. Both parents smiled at each other and whispered.
"Did you get the camera?"
"Yeah. I'm ready." They then called Star and let her know the news. Star turned back to her phone to say goodbye to her mother and closed the phone. She went through the room with Marco's parents.
Marco was leaning on a chair while some nurse was beside him, asking him if he was fine. His eyes were closed shut and could barely talk, much less understand. His hoodie wasn't on him and was kept in a table in a corner. The nurse then informed Marco of his parents and Star entering the room. He tilted his head sluggishly towards the door, his eyes opened slightly and moaned. Once the three saw Marco in his state, Star ran to check on him while his parents were ready to record with the camera they brought.
"Wooahhhh."
Star raised an eyebrow,"What is it Marco?"
"I have 3 eyes."
"What did you just say?" Marco's parents were already trying to hide their laughter as they were recording their son, though he hasn't noticed it yet. Mr. Enron and nurse meanwhile were just smiling as they watch their patient. Even if they were used to seeing these situations after this kind of procedure, they couldnt help but smile at the randomness patients can talk about, no matter how many times.
"Whhaaatttt? You're lyyyiiingggggg. Wait." Marco tried to call the nurse. Mrs Diaz tried to stop Marco but he wont budge.
"Yes Marco?" The nurse replied.
"Do i have 3 eyessss? Also, Wheresss my unicornn?"
"[Chuckles] No Marco, you don't have 3 eyes."
"Wh-whatt? But I-i do havee myy unicorn right?"
"What are you talking about Marco? There's no unicorns here. Where did you even get that idea from?" Star said. She was beyond confused at Marco. Is he talking about Pony head? What's gotten into him? Did he drank some corn whiskey or something? But Marco however, was devastated.
"Bu-but she was just there! I saww itt momm! Wooahhh, thatss a niceeee shirt!" Marco pointed at his hoodie, his parents were chuckling even more. This is soooo cute! They both said to themselves. They were gonna treasure this video, and Star being confused at his state just makes it even better!
"Whyy can't I get that moom! [Sniffs]"
"Don't worry honey! That's yours!" Angie replied.
"Wha-Reallyyy! Aree youu likee myy fairy god motherr?" He asked.
"No sweetie, i'm afraid im not."
"Whaa? Butt..." He then started crying which was out of nowhere for Star as she never saw Marco crying, while his parents just started laughing even more, with the nurse still watching with a smile on her face. She was later called by Enron to help some patient outside and the two swap with the former explaining what to do in order to take care of Marco's mouth after taking him home.
"But first... Marco? Can you walk to your parents' car?" Mr. Enron asked the boy. His eyes squinted.
"yeahhhhh" he replied in a whisper.
"Ok so-"
"and use my poweerr of flighhtt too goo homee." he added
"Ok. I'll take that as a no." Enron then turned to his parents and Star.
"I suggest you take him on a wheelchair and help him get inside the car. Please don't let him take off the gums inside as it prevents his mouth from spilling blood all over. Also, he can't eat any solid food for a couple of days until his recovery. Some soups or even yogurt are fine." Rafael and Angie thanked the doctor for his work, but Star raised her hand and asked the dentist a question.
"Sir, what's gotten into my best friend? Is there anything wrong with him?" She said concerned. Enron smiled and clarified the situation.
"Oh Ms. Butterfly, i've heard of you before. Just to clarify, Marco's Wisdom teeth removal was a success, but, in order to prevent any pain we injected a type of anesthesia that seduces him in order to not feel much pain once we started. You got that?"
"Ohhhh! Is that why he's acting all doped up?"
"Yes."
"Thanks again Mr. Enron." Angie said.
"No problem. As much as i like to see your son act all funny, i'm afraid our time is up and someones waiting." Marco's parents then said goodbye to the dentist while Star got to the car and with the help of the nurse, they put Marco in the wheelchair, though with some struggle.
"no momm! i wonntt goo!"
"Why not? We need to get you home."
"Im gonnaa miss thee traiinn!"
"The trait to what Mijo?"
"To thee chocolate factoryy!"
However, with much grunts and hmphs, they were successful. Once they were opening the car doors, Marco was amazed at what he saw (It was just star at the back.)
"Wooahhhh."
Star raised her eyebrow. "Umm, what is it Marco?"
"An angelll." He whispered.
"Really? Where?"
"Are youu ann angell?"
"..."
