As a portal in the monster temple appeared and Star came in, she saw both Eclipsa and Moon eating together on the table, chatting. Star grinned a little. It feels nice to atleast seeing both my mom and Eclipsa bonding she thought to herself. After all the times Moon distrusted Eclipsa, as well as her daughter Meteora, who was sleeping on her stroll next to her mother, it was a relief to have some peace on their lives.
"Oh, hey Star!" Eclipsa waved at her.
"Hi Eclipsa! Hi mom!"
"Hello dear, why don't you come here and take a seat? The royal chefs actually created a new dish for us to try. Want a bite?"
"Sure." Star happily walked and sat next to her mother and took a bite. The taste was oddly familiar. She looked at the women.
"Is this cereal?" She asked.
"Is that what it's called? Sorry dear, Marco never told me the name of this delicious dish." Replied Eclipsa while chewing.
It's not a dish but whatever.
"So Star, what were you doing on Earth?"
"Oh i only visited Marco and his parents, but they suddenly made an appointment to remove his wisdom teeth." Star was more focused on eating her dish. Despite not even being a dish, she can see why it was delicious to cause the confusion.
Moon raised an eyebrow. "Wisdom teeth? I'm unfamiliar with that term, and why would they remove teeth? wouldn't it be painful?"
"Yeah, i was too. They explained that they need to remove it because it can get infectious or something. I just know that it's gonna be painfu- OW!" Star dropped her spoonful of cereal and rubbed her cheek. Moon looked her daughter with concern.
"Star?"
What the? Again?
"Star?" Star's eyes widened a bit.
No, nononono please, anything but that!
"Star!"
"Nothing's wrong! Everything's fine! haha..." Star suddenly grabs the spoon and continues to eat, trying her best to ignore the pain in every bite she makes. Eventually, the two ladies moves on to other topics. At one point, they talk about Estrella's chapter's contents. Well, at least the things that they remember since the book of spells was destroyed, unaware of Star hiding a piece of it inside her closet.
"Oh Eclipsa, that's just the tip of the iceberg! I even remember reading about some weird topics such as 'the wound of magic.'" Moon chuckled
"the wound of magic you say? Why does it sound so familiar to me."
"Really? Were there any stories about it during your time?"
"Well, i remember hearing some stories about him? her? I don't even know what it looks like."
"Well, if i remember it correctly, Grandma Estrella just drew a cloaked figure with glowing red eyes, so i wouldn't blame you there." Moon turned to her daughter, who was grunting as she was finishing the bowl.
"What do you think Star? Assuming you even reached her chapter, did you encountered any strange contents of her chapter?"
"Uhhh, about who exactly?" Star nervously smiled. Ugh i can't keep going like this!
"Estrella the Drafted, did you even reach her chapter?" She wasn't surprised at this point. Star grinded her teeth.
"Yeah, yeah totally."
"Star, open you mouth. Stop hiding it." Her mother had seen enough, she clearly knows something was wrong with her daughter's teeth. Star's hands were raised in a mock surrender. She opened her mouth widely.
"Oh dear, look at those teeth." Responded Eclipsa.
"Yes, that is awful to look at... hey, didn't you just talk about your friend's fiasco about his teeth? Im sure the human doctors could solve it."
Gah! Why did i even mentioned that! She was mentally slapping herself for that slip up. With a sigh, she reluctantly agreed.
Well, i hope i don't end up like Marco, hopefully.
EARTH
Speaking of the boy, he was currently at his parent's house, lying on his pillow, on the couch. He held an ice pack and was lying it on his cheek, using it to help his recovery. He was sleeping with the occasional mumbling. His parents, Rafael and Angie, were across the table, happily looking at the footage they had just captured, archiving their son during his dose on anesthesia on the office and the car. They even fangirled a bit when Marco drunkenly talked to Star being his "angel" and how she should "never leave him." They already knew about their son's crush on the Butterfly girl, to them it was only a matter of time before he finally confessed his feelings to her just like what happened to Star before going back to Mewni. They looked at their son, smiling and thinking about how they were so lucky having a smart, caring, and loving child. Marco meanwhile, unbeknownst to the two parents, was actually having a dream about...wait.
