Star was ready to tell Ruberiot her story, this was going to be the best princess day song ever. She knew she would have to tell him about all of her adventures on Earth so that he could make his song reflective of who she was. With this in mind, she launched into the story of the day she got her wand.
As per tradition, on Mewni, the princess inherits the Royal Magic Wand for her fourteenth birthday. That was the day everything began. I was so excited that before the ceremony I had to go on an adventure in the woods. Before I knew it however, it was time for the ceremony! So I hopped onto the nearest warnicorn and sped off towards the castle.
Crashing through the doors of the throne room, I careened up to the platform where my parents were waiting, leaping off the warnicorn when I arrived. As it tore through the back wall, I started panting with anticipation. Almost squeaking with excitement, I reached out to paw at the wand my mother was holding.
With a worried look on her face, she quickly pulled it out of my reach and held up a finger. Next she started talking about how the wand was some kind of responsibility or something. My memory gets a little fuzzy there as I was hardly listening, all of my attention was on the wand.
With an exuberant cackle, I reached out and snatched the wand from my mother the moment she finished speaking. As soon as the wand was in my hands, it became enveloped in a magical glow. As the glow faded with a flapping of wings, I saw the wand had transformed from my mother's boring old wand into the adorable wand I more or less wield today.
With a quick gasp of wonder I turned to my mother and said "Don't worry Mom, I can handle it."
As I am sure you remember Ruberiot, I could not, in fact handle it.
The kingdom was soon bursting with flaming rainbows and tons of confetti were raining from the sky.
After cleaning up the mess I had made, my parents started packing up one of the royal carriages with my belongings.
I ran over to them screaming. "NOOOOOOOOOO!" Tears burst forth as I grabbed my mother's dress to plead.
"I can be good! Please, don't send me to St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses!" Even now I still have trouble holding back a bloodcurdling scream when I hear the name.
Cutting off the scream I was giving then, my father said "Sweetheart, we're not sending you there."
I immediately popped up and put on my best good princess face.
"Oh!"
My mother quickly added in "Yet."
Father then resumed his explanation saying, "We're sending you to train in a safer dimension. A place called Earth!"
"Earth?" I had never before heard of that dimension, but thought it sounded kind of boring. It was the safe dimension after all.
As I was dragged sighing to the carriage, my father called out to the servant, "Manfred! Open the portal!"
Manfred pulled out his dimensional scissors and quickly opened a portal to Earth. As the carriage made its way into the portal, I gave one last longing look back at my home.
"Goodbye Mewni."
When we came out of the portal, we were right out front of what was soon to become my new school and where I would meet my best friend. We made our way inside and my parents quickly found the person in charge, Principal Skeeves, to talk about enrolling me there.
As they talked, I quickly grew bored and started looking around the room to find something to entertain myself. After a few minutes, I found a curious device sticking out of the wall and went to go see what it was. After flicking the switch up and down a few times, I realized that it controlled the lights in the room.
"And you said there was no magic on Earth," I said as I turned to my parents with a smug look on my face.
"Yeeeaaah," Principal Skeeves droned "This isn't gonna work."
I quickly became bored again and turned back to the light switch, determined to observer more of this Earth magic.
After I said goodbye to my parents, Principal Skeeves took me outside to wait on the "safe kid" he had called to show me around the school. While we waited, I became enamored by all of the new sights that surrounded me, it was a very different place than Mewni.
I was so entranced, I even missed Marco's arrival. At that point I had encountered a water fountain and was trying to discern its purpose. As I inspected it, I noticed a button on top of the fountain. Peering close I reached out and pressed the button. Water suddenly burst forth and I leapt back in alarm, assuming a fighting stance.
When the fountain remained motionless, I decided to take the offensive. I leapt forward and grabbed hold of the fountain, trying to bite it into submission.
"So, uh, you probably don't want to do that," said someone behind me.
"Must kill," I managed to get out between bites, not even bothering to look.
"Yeah, that's not alive."
"Oh!" I quickly hopped up and looked at him. "My name is Star, what's your name?"
"My name is Marco Diaz."
"I like safe kid better!"
"Ugh, let's just do this. Follow me and I'll show you around the school" Marco said as he started to walk off.
I quickly skipped on over to him, bubbling with energy. "Thanks for showing me around Safe Kid!"
"What! No! Look whatever you heard about me isn't true. I don't know where people get the idea that I'm so safe!" he ranted.
During this I was only half listening, still enamored with the sights of Earth.
Suddenly, he put his hand out in front of me and pointed at the ground. "Oh watch your step, loose tile."
Paying him no heed, I continued to dance along after him, inspecting everything I came across.
"It's ridiculous!" he continued before stopping to close an open locker and say "Careful!"
At this point, I realized he was telling a story and calmed down a little to listen.
"You wear a helmet in the gym shower one time and you're labeled for life! Ooh, broken glass." He then grabbed me and steered me around the debris that he had mentioned.
"Frankly, I like taking risks! And would welcome a little danger in my life!"
He had been so helpful to me, I decided to help him back. So I looked around and spotted a butterfly flying nearby. Raising my wand, I concentrated and blasted it with some magic. The butterfly suddenly grew to the size of an adult and became a monster. I smiled to myself, he wanted some danger, and I gave him some. I was such a great friend.
The monster roared at Marco before flying off to grab another student. The monster grabbed the kid and took off over the school.
"What the heck was that?" I heard Marco scream from behind me.
"Oops" I said with a chuckle, "I thought you wanted a little danger!"
Marco slid out from behind me with a disgruntled look on his face. Before skeptically looking my direction, as if he was reevaluating his life choices and drawing away from me a little.
"Who are you?"
"I'm a maaagical princess from another dimension!"
As I explained, I did a little twirl before creating a rainbow above my head with my wand. Small, adorable animals popped out from it as I held my pose. Marco simply looked as if he was still trying to process everything.
Suddenly, the rainbow burst into flames and the animals scattered.
Seeing the flames, Marco clapped his hands together and said "Well, that brings us to the end of our tour! I'm going home now!"
"Bye new friend!" I called out as he turned and started walking away. "See you tomorrow!"
Marco then pulled up the hood on his signature hoddie and started running as I continued to wave goodbye.
While I had been watching him leave, the fire had spread to a nearby rooftop and was getting a little out of hand. I turned around and after a few attempts managed to put out most of the fire.
Now I just needed a place to stay. Abandoning the remains of the fire, I went off to find Principal Skeeves. Before my parents had left, he had mentioned there was a family that housed foreign exchange students and that I could stay with them to get used to life on Earth. He also had my trunk with all of my stuff still in his office.
By the time I arrived at Principal Skeeves' office, he was well into his ice cream and when I asked where I would be staying, he handed me a map. I then proceeded to grab my trunk and blast my way over to the home of my host family.
Shortly after I arrived and introduced myself, I was entertaining my new host family by telling them stories of Mewni. Suddenly, the door opened and in strolled my new Earth friend Marco! I was so excited I could hardly contain myself as I bounced up and down on the couch.
"Oh Marco! Come meet the new foreign exchange student who's gonna be living with us!" exclaimed Mrs. Diaz.
Marco simply stood dumbfounded in the doorway, unable to form coherent words, it was so adorable.
"What!" I exclaimed as I leapt off the couch to drag him inside, "I had no idea these were your parents! I just assumed everyone on Earth had the last name Diaz!"
"Won't it be nice to have Star's upbeat, lively energy around the house?" sang Mrs. Diaz.
Rolling his eyes, Marco retorted "We could have gotten that from a litter of puppies!"
With a gasp I pulled Marco's arm close before throwing it back into his chest. I just had a great idea.
"I. Love. Puppies!"
I ran out into the middle of the room and channeled the magic in my wand, pointing it at the floor. Marco was going to love this! With a burst of magic, eight puppies appeared on the floor of the Diaz household.
"Awww" sighed Marco's parents as they looked at the puppies.
Without warning however, things started going wrong and the puppies started firing lasers out of their eyes. Marco leapt back in fear as I cringed at my handiwork.
Biting my wand for a moment I turned to Marco as I picked up a puppy to at least slow down the destruction they were causing.
"Well they are really cute," Mr. Diaz said with a chuckle, trying to keep me from feeling bad.
"Marco! Why don't you show Star her new room?" Mrs. Diaz asked.
With Marco lugging my trunk like a gentleman, I rushed up the stairs with the laser puppies in tow. When I reached my room I slammed open the door to survey my new room while I waited for Marco to arrive. It was kind of bland, but nothing I couldn't fix.
"Here's your new room," Marco said with a grunt as he hauled everything inside.
"Okaaay, I can work with this."
With a deep breath I leapt into the air, shouting "Sparkle, Glitter, Bomb Expand!" This spell would certainly make my new room more interesting.
With a flash of Magic and the rumbling of a wall getting blown out, my old, boring room transformed into a tower. This new room was much closer to my old room from Mewni and was much more preferred over the Earth room I had before.
"Ah, that's better!" I sang out while Marco stared about in amazement.
"I wish I had a room like this."
"You do?" I exclaimed with a gasp, leaping over to where he was standing and grabbing his shoulder. I took off running over to Marco's room, eager to show him how great of a spell caster I was.
"Mystic, Room, Suck Transform!" I shouted with a twirl of my wand.
The spell cast, opening a hole in the floor of Marco's room. Soon, everything was being pulled in, even us. Thinking quickly, I grabbed the laser puppies and pushed Marco out of the room ahead of me, slamming the door shut behind me.
"Suck! Suck? Why was the word suck in that spell!" he shouted.
"I don't know it just came out that way!" I yammered, knowing I had messed up bad, he probably hated me at that point.
Marco rolled his eyes with a sigh before leaning into the door. Yup, he defiantly hated me, I had really "Starred" that one up.
"I'm sorry Marco!" I said, trying to think of a way to make things better with my new Earth friend. "How about a little sunshine to brighten your day?"
With a quick thought, I fired some magic at the space above Marco's head, thinking this would surely help his mood. A little, smiling sun appeared over him and it seemed like my spell had worked! In the next instant however, it morphed into a raincloud, pouring water down upon the poor guy. My hopes were immediately dashed, and when Marco turned around, I knew things had gone from bad to worse.
"I can't take this anymore! If you are moving in, I am moving out!"
After swatting at the rain cloud, Marco walked over to the nearest window and climbed out of it. That is how badly he wanted to get away from me, it was awful. Unfortunately, we were on the second floor. With a yelp, Marco plummeted out of sight to the ground below.
"Are you okay?" I called out after running to the window and leaning out to look at him.
"Luckily the cactuses broke my fall."
"Do you need any help?" I really wanted to make things right between us.
"Ow! I'm fine! Just leave me alone!"
With that said, Marco turned around and started walking away. I held out my hand, trying to think of something, anything to say that could help. Nothing came to mind though, so I pulled back my hand. However, the sight of him walking away was so pitiful that I reached out again, as if to offer some kind of help. Remembering what happened last time though, I quickly retracted my hand a second time.
But I couldn't just let him go like that, so I reached out to comfort him again. I quickly realized there was nothing I could say and gave up. I started to walk away from the window, but the guilt was too much. I ran back to the window, arm outstretched to bring him back and apologize. By that point though, he was gone. I knew then what I had to do to make things right, I ran downstairs and out the front door to find him.
After wandering around town looking for him, I finally found him. He was in front of a shop, soaking wet and a little crazed. I felt awful.
I walked up to him, and when he noticed me, he leapt back in alarm and fear.
"What are you doing here?" he asked the apprehension clear in his voice.
With a quick blast of magic, I dispelled the raincloud into a handful of butterflies. With a crestfallen look, I began my explanation.
"I didn't get a choice about coming here to Earth, and you didn't get a choice about having to deal with me. I'll… I'll find another family to live with."
Suddenly, Marco's look of sympathy turned into one of fear and he pointed behind me.
"S-St-Star?"
I spun around to see my nemesis Ludo and his army of monsters standing behind me.
"Star Butterfly, at last, I've found you!" Ludo exclaimed.
"Ludo! How did you know I was here?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
"Yes, that's why I asked."
"Well, Buff Frog – Hey! I don't have to tell you anything! Get her!"
The army of monsters let loose a roar, hefting their weapons for battle. I assumed a fighting pose, ready to take them on.
At that moment, Marco gallantly leapt in front of me, also assuming a fighting stance. With a cry, he punched the first monster that came at us right in the gut. This was followed up by an uppercut that was transitioned into a front flip kick combo. Resting his foot on the monster's head, Marco looked about as surprised as I felt. Marco had just gotten even more awesome.
"Ho-ho! You can fight?"
"It's called, karate!" he exclaimed, turning to chop the next monster that was approaching.
Not to be outdone by this awesome Earthling, I ran over to the nearest enemy with a yell and a spinning kick. When I hit him, he let go of his hammer. Unfortunately for him, the hammer flew straight up and landed on his head, knocking the monster out cold.
I heard a battle cry from behind me as Marco launched himself towards the enemies. He just kept getting cooler and cooler. I quickly blasted an approaching monster with my wand while Marco threw an enemy across the lot we were fighting in. I looked over to make sure Marco didn't need help and saw him try to chop down on an enemy with two heads. When he missed his chop, he made a fist before rapidly swinging it back and forth, hitting both heads at the same time.
With a scream of joy, I leapt down from my perch to fight a giant giraffe monster. Leaping onto his back, I used it as a springboard to get above him.
"Rainbow Fist Punch" I yelled, channeling the magic through my wand. A rainbow shot out with a fist at one end, punching the monster. The monster was knocked head first into an Earth carriage, becoming stuck.
From where I am, I see Marco run to the other side, a monster hot on his heels. Before I can respond however, Marco opens the door of the Earth carriage and the giraffe monster's head pistons out. This sends the monster that had been chasing Marco flying!
Back to back, Marco and I continue to fight, taking down each enemy as they come close. As one of the monsters, Buff Frog, comes close, I point my want at him and cast Jelly Bean Hallucination Mist. This stops him in his tracks as the hallucinations take hold.
I take a moment to share a smile with Marco, the fight was so much fun, especially with him there. The monsters take this moment to hit both us, sending us sprawling. As the monsters approach, we both leap back into action, sending the monsters who hit us flying.
As fun as this was, it was time to wrap things up. With that in mind, I decided to use one of my favorite spells. With a smile plastered to my face I channeled the magic into my wand before yelling "Mega Narwhal Blast!"
With a surge of magic, a multitude of narwhals came bursting forth, flying through the air. When the dust had settled, all of the monsters were utterly defeated. I quickly dispelled the narwhals allowing them to return to wherever magical narwhals come from.
Turning to Ludo, I taunted him saying "Want some of this Ludo?"
"Nooo" sighed Ludo as he pulled out his dimensional scissors and prepared to leave.
"You see you morons, this is what happens when you don't work out!" screamed Ludo as he went to open a portal. "Your muscles are like pudding. Come on, back in the portal, back in the portal. You even retreat like losers."
Marco and I watched them leave, they weren't enough of a threat to stop, plus I had a new monster fighting buddy.
"I'll get you Star Butterfl-" with a gurgled choke, Ludo pulled himself though the portal as it closed, cutting off his threat.
"That was amazing! I was amazing! You were amazing!" exclaimed Marco as I walked over, feeling proud of myself. All of my spells had gone off perfectly.
"Yeah, I guess we were."
He defiantly was, I had not expected that at all. Suddenly I remembered that I was going to have to leave his home and all of my joy drained. Not only was I going to lose my only Earth friend, but also my monster fighting buddy.
"Well, I should probably go pack my bags"
I started my dejected walk back to the Diaz house. Before I could get more than a few steps though, Marco ran over and gently grabbed my shoulder.
"Wait! I don't want you to go, I want you to stay with us."
Suddenly all of my sadness turned to joy. I wasn't going to lose anything. I got to keep hanging around Marco.
"Really?" I asked as I spun around, the joy evident on my face. Seeing that he was serious I couldn't stop myself from pulling him into a hug.
After a moment, I broke the hug with my new best friend and we started walking to his home.
"Are there going to be monsters attacking us all the time? Asked Marco as he did some practice karate moves in excitement, a wild look on his face.
"Yeah, probably" I said, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Alright! Sounds so dangerous! Whoa! Let's cross at the light."
We had just reached the road that we needed to cross to get home as he stopped me from crossing.
"Okay, wild man." I said with a smile. Raising my wand, I fired off some magic out of excitement for my new life
