So yeah um funny story (unlike mine) since there was a text error with the first chapter when I published it I had to write it again which meant I didn't have time to write the next few chapters and now I'm going on a trip to see the grandparents… in fact I'm actually writing this on the car ride there right now (and planning to stay up late writing when I'm not to tired). Just wanted to mention this so if the quality of the story drops (I will try my hardest to make sure that it doesn't) you have a reason aside from my bad writing. Also don't worry about me not writing anything since I'm away as I'm going to write as much as I can for this in the free time that I have. Anyway, thanks to the people who followed this story and left nice comments because it means a lot to me, also I'm going to try and make these next chapters a bit longer than the last one so hopefully it works out well.
Last thing, I realised that when I write thoughts they might appear hard to tell from other things like action so thoughts will still have the ' at the start and end of them but will now be written in this fontso that it is easier to read.
(Star's POV)
'uhhh this is so annoying'I thought while holding my 'host' or whatever he was, Marco Diaz, who had just passed out 'of course I FINALLY get to go on adventures without Moon constantly watching over my shoulder and I get stuck with someone who faints the second they see magic, maybe I should just drop him and leave'.However, while I was having my mental debate, I had apparently failed to notice that the boy I was holding had woken up and was now trying to sneak away.
"Hey" I shouted maybe a bit too loud as he now went pale and turned around slowly "where do you think you're going. He looked at me, then the wand, then back at me and tried to make himself as small a target as possible "I w-was just going h-home".
"Oh, ok I'll come with you then" I said cheerfully as I started to walk after him 'so he was just trying to show me where I was staying instead of running away'I thought
"Y-you will" he asked nervously "wait YOUR my exchange student".
'Nope he was totally just trying to run away fromme' I realised as he turned around muttering something under his breath.
(Marco's POV)
"Wait YOUR my exchange student" I basically screamed at the girl in front of me before turning around to think. 'No, no, NO, this is NOT happening, wait that's it this isn't happening I'm dreaming right now' I thought 'yes I'm dreaming, this is all one big weird dream, Janna probably gave me something weird and now I'm hallucinating, yeah that's it' now happy with my conclusion I turned back to the girl "Okay then who are you and why are you here?
(One Confusing Story Later)
"Wait so you're from another planet called Mewni" the girl called Star nodded "and you have a magic wand" she nodded again now looking bored "and you were sent here because you accidentally burnt down your kingdom".
"Hey, I didn't burn down all of it" she corrected me now looking annoyed before going back to bored.
"Okay… and you're also a princess on top of everything else" I asked before she nodded again 'I don't even think that Janna could make something like this happen'I started thinking now actually beginning to believe Star's story against all my common sense and logic 'I mean there's no way I could even come up with all this stuff, no, no, no it HAS to be fake right'
'Oh god this is not good Diaz you're starting to sound crazy, wait what am I thinking about this I can still prove it's a dream, right?' I took a deep breath and prepared myself, I was about to check if I had really lost my mind or this was all a nightmare, 'this is the moment of truth'.
(Star's POV)
For some reason Marco had stopped asking his questions and was now just staring at his hand, I mean I wasn't complaining my head was getting tired from all that nodding because for some reason he felt the need to repeat everything I said as a question and I mean everything. It was honesty really annoying but maybe it was just some weird Earth culture that I didn't know about 'Ireally hope not'anyway it was kind of weird how he just stopped talking so I looked over to him 'maybe he's finally accepted everything I told him'.
"I'm going to prove that everything you just said was crazy" I heard from beside me. 'Nope, he didn't accept anything I said' I thought beyond annoyed 'Why can't humans just accept magic exists, is it that hard to accept something that goes against everything you believe in'.
"I mean do you really expect me to believe anything you just said, it sounds like it came from a cartoon"
"Well it didn't, you just have to accept that magic exists and it's not going anyway"
"No, I don't, this is all some crazy dream that I'm about to wake up from anyway" he said while raising both his hands to me and… pinching himself?
"Well then… my entire perception of reality and life as we know has been destroyed" was the only thing he said after a long pause.
"Sooo now will you show me where I'll be living?" I asked.
"Okay, let's go" was all he said before getting up and walking away. 'Well that was a sudden change'I thought while following him 'at least he finally believes me, and it seems like he's fine with it'.
(Marco's POV)
'HOLY CRAP THIS ISN'T A DREAM, MAGIC IS REAL. EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE'
(Star's POV)
'Yeah he seems fine with it'
(One Mental Breakdown Later)
(Star's POV)
"Wait THIS is where I'm living?" I asked convinced that he had made a mistake 'surely he's taken us to the wrong place, I mean there isn't even a moat around the house to keep us protected'
"No this is the place" he said "now come on in, I'll introduce you to my parents"
"Your PARENTS"
"Yes, my parents, you know, my mum and dad" he said in a tone that I didn't really understand but I think is called it sarcasm
'no, no, no this is not good' I thought 'I haven't brought even brought a gift for them, please don't tell me that their the beheading kind of rulers'. "Um m-maybe we should just stay out here, yeah where it's nice and… outside". 'Yes good, good, maybe I can magic up some gold or jewels, so they won't behead me'.
"Star are you okay? We are just going to meet my mum and dad, it's nothing to worry about… well unless you're afraid of optimists"
"No Marco it IS something to worry about I mean I don't even have a gift, what if they execute me for disrespecting their kingdom". For some sick reason right after I said this Marco started laughing 'wait does he want me to be executed, what if this was his plan all along, what if once I'm gone Marco steals the wand, dammit I walked right into histrap'
"Star they're not going to execute you" he managed to say while still laughing at what I said "I doubt that my parents could even say something bad to you"
"But I forgot a royal gift and didn't even bring payment for my stay which shows I don't respect them, just one of these crimes alone is enough to be counted as treason against their kingdom" told him 'he's not luring me into his trap'.
"Star we don't even have a kingdom we're just regular people, also you have magic to protect yourself and anyway Janna breaks in here all the time without any punishment" he said while opening the door to his home.
"No wait" I shouted before looking in the door to see… two people sleeping on a couch 'well at least it doesn't look like they have a guillotine anyway… so their plan must be to kidnap me instead'I thought while trying to sneak away 'so long as they don't wake up I might be able to escape'. At least that was my plan before Marco walked right next to them.
"MOM, DAD WAKE UP" he yelled before turning around to me "sorry their heavy sleepers".
'NO MARCO YOU FOOL'I mentally screamed at him 'm-maybe they didn't wake up'I foolishly thought until I saw them both staring at me.
"Marco you finally found yourself a girl" the woman cried while holding Marco in a hug that looked strangely like a choke hold.
"My little boy's all grown up" the man said while actually crying and holding a camera which seemed to come from nowhere "Angie we must capture this moment".
"c-can't breathe" I heard Marco manage to say while his face was going purple 'I didn't know that humans could change their skin colour, at least I learnt something before my execution"I thought while Marco managed to escape the death trap that the woman put him in.
"Mum, Dad this is Star" he choked out pointing to me "She is our new exchange student" both of his parents looked a little bit saddened by this.
"Angie we were so close"
"I know Rafael, I know" Angie said as the two came together for a sad hug.
"uhhh Star this is my mom Angie" Marco told me while pointing to the woman patting the man's back "and uh that's my dad Rafael" he said now pointing to the man who was now… crying even more
"um h-hello Mr and Mrs Diaz" I said while trying to look as much like a responsible princess as possible "My name is Star Butterfly and I am the princess of Mewni" 'now this is the part where things go wrong' "I-I know that I haven't brought any gifts bu-" I continued before being interrupted by Angie.
"Where is this Mewni" she asked
"I'll go make us some nachos" Marco said while moving to what appeared to be a tiny cooking room "you two might what to sit down because it's a long story"
(One not very Long Story Later)
"And That's why I was sent to Earth" finished waiting for the hundreds of questions they were going to ask me… 'why aren't they saying anything'I thought before looking up to them and seeing both of them shaking in their seats
(Marco POV)
"ROYAL EXCHANGE STUDENT" was all I heard come from the room that Star and my parents where before I walked in almost dropping my nachos. Both my parents were hugging each other and jumping off everything they touched with massive smiles on their faces.
"Wait did you finish telling them the story already" I asked, 'there's no way that Star finished telling them already, it took like an hour to tell me'.
"Yeah" Star answered "it kind of goes faster when you don't ask a million questions every five seconds"
'well of course I asked questions, your story sounded and still does sound insane'I thought. "sooo anyway what are those weird triangles you're carrying around" she asked.
"Wait you haven't had nachos before" I asked surprised 'how could she have never tasted nachos before, they are like the best food ever'. "These" I shouted surprising even myself "are Marco's Super Awesome Nachos, the best food ever"
"The best food ever?"
"Yeah, you need to try these, here" I said while passing them to her 'I can't wait for her to taste them'
"How can I be sure that you haven't poisoned these" Star asked now looking around the room for an exit or escape route
"….What are you talking about?"
"Oh, don't play dumb with me Marco" she told me before pulling out her wand "I am the princess of Mewni, those weird triangles could be poisoned so you can use me for a ransom against my kingdom". "Okay this is not good, I saw what that wand did to the wall at the school'I thought while looking to my parents for help. My parents of course were just sitting there just watching this happen 'I swear sometimes they have like zero self-preservation".
"Star relax" I said like an idiot thinking that would actually make her calm down "look I'll eat one right now" I slowly lifted a single nacho to my mouth and ate it. "See it's fine, nothing wrong with them" 'I really hope I don't die over a plate of nachos'.
"Oh really" she replied "it isn't the correct time for a meal, meaning that there's a reason for this meal and since nothing special has happened this meal is for no reason, so why are you giving me this triangle food?"
"uh I just made it for you in the kitchen right now while you were telling my parents your story" 'please put the wand down'
"But why would you make me food for no reason? Nothing important has happened to deserve a feast" Star asked looking at me confused but at least lowering the wand.
"Because you looked like you had a bad day, I mean there's still chunks of dirt and parts of a tree in your hair". 'please tell me you at least understand that' I thought hoping that she wouldn't raise the wand again.
"Wait why would you care how my day has been, it's not your job, your only job is to protect me". 'Has Star seriously never met someone who was nice to her' I thought 'I guess that it does explain all her weird behaviour though'.
"Star, on Earth we do those sorts of things not because we have to but because it's the right thing to do"
"So you're not trying to poison me… or kidnap me"
"No"
"So, what are you trying to do?"
"Offer you some nachos I guess"
Wow, this chapter took a lot out of me, I managed to hit 2000+ words though so hopefully it was worth the wait (probably not though). If it stretches on for too long please let me know because I really couldn't find a good place to end it, I still feel like it should have gone on for longer but then it would have taken even longer to come out and I don't think it's fair to make people wait without an update. Anyway, my idea of 1-4 days for each upload is definitely not going to work as I both want to make the chapters longer and spend more time on each, along with school coming back around which means I have less time to work on this. I just wanted to mention that so people aren't stuck waiting on some upload time that I can't complete. A better time would maybe be 1-2 weeks apart, really sorry for this but I just can't do 1-4 days, also I'm trying my best to make it so that the chapters have more in them and are better overall so hopefully the wait is worth it for you guys.
I also had to rewrite this twice because it just didn't feel right as I want to separate this completely from the show, that's kind of the reason for Star's distrust of everyone but that's also part of her character. Finally, once again please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong because I feel like I messed up parts like Star's trust of the Diaz's comes to quick and I don't properly show what everyone's thinking but I also don't want to put in to much details for everyone's thoughts. Also i keep getting text errors every time i try and upload something so please tell me if you know how to fix this.
