A/N: Yay! Chapter 2 is up! You can probably tell our story will at first be based on the epsiode "Star Comes to Earth" from Star vs. the Forces of evil. Later on, (most likely after Chapter 3) we will create our own plots. Anyways, here's Chapter 2. Thanks for reading!
We do not own Star vs. the Forces of Evil.
CHAPTER 2
Comet looked in awe at the room he was standing in... the office, they called it. It was large, though just enough to fit a large desk, some chairs, and a few pieces of decorations, such as the large green plant at the corner of the room, and the bookshelf covering one wall. As simple as this room sounded, it was incredibly interesting to Comet. He had never seen anything from this dimension Earth, and (as clichéd as it sounded) he liked discovering new things.
In order to "fit in" more, as his parents put it, he had to dress like a common human, leaving the elaborate suit he usually wore as prince of Mewni. He now wore a teal t-shirt with lace on the sleeves, and a light purple squid on the front. He wore skinny pants with pink and orange stripes. On his feet he wore purple boots with teeth designed onto the soles, eyes on the sides, and a horn stuck out of each boot where his toes were. His shirt was tucked in his pants, which were held onto his waist by a belt with a bright gold star as the buckle. He wore a red headband with devil horns, and had a star-shaped satchel crossing over his body. To be honest, he enjoyed wearing this outfit more than the stuffy, sky-blue suit and small, pesky crown he had formerly been forced to wear every day.
He heard a throat clear at the other side of the room, but he didn't stop from exploring, moving on from inspecting a photo of a rather large woman with black-rimmed glasses (who he assumed "ruled" this school he would hopefully attend) to a strange device that looked like a switch.
Principal Skeeves, as humans called the large woman sitting at the desk at the front of the room, spoke. "So… you say you are a king and queen from another dimension, and he," she nodded to Comet, "is a prince from this dimension you call… er- what was it again? Mewni? And you want me to allow him to attend Echo Creek Academy as a foreign exchange student?"
"Correct," Comet's mother replied.
The principal turned to Comet, who was staring wide-eyed, mouth gaped open at a light switch, which he flicked on and off, causing the lights in the office to strobe. Comet placed a hand on his hip and turned to his parents, a defiant look on his face.
"And you said there was no magic on Earth!"
The principal turned to face the king and queen once more, an unamused expression on her face. "Yeah… this isn't going to work."
Comet's parents were not surprised by the principal's choice, and knew immediately what to do. They pulled out a treasure chest, opening it to reveal piles of gold and sparkling jewels to spend on whatever anyone's heart desired.
The principal's eyes widened immediately, and she stood from her swivel chair. She threw her arms in the air and cheered. "He's going to love it here!"
You could almost see the dollar signs in her eyes.

Comet's parents had departed back to Mewni, leaving the boy from another dimension alone at Echo Creek Academy with Principal Skeeves, who was too busy cradling the treasure chest as if it were a baby to notice that Comet had no idea what to do now that he was left on his own.
In an attempt to get the principal's attention, he cleared his throat. It didn't seem to work, as Principal Skeeves continued to coo at the box. Comet tried again, this time a little louder, but to no avail. Finally, he strode next to the principal, tapping on her shoulder and said: "So… anyone going to show me around here?"
His question finally got the principal to pull herself away from the valuables, and she turned to face him, the chest tucked under her shoulder. "Ah, yes, yes. You need a guide. Luckily, I have the perfect person to show you around."

Marcia Diaz focused intently on her quiz, one she knew she would ace. She always earned very good grades in Mr. Skullnick's class, and easily was the smartest of her and her fellow classmates.
Square root of 18? Easy. '4.24264068712,' she wrote down.
That was the last question of the quiz, which she completed with ease. She double-checked her paper (though she never really had to fix any answer after doing them the first time) and was about to stand up to turn in her paper, when the P.A. speaker screeched, and every student cringed at the squeaking noise.
"Marcia Diaz to the principal's office. Marcia Diaz to the principal's office."
Marcia let out a delighted gasp. "Ooh! Look who's going to the principal's office! Yeah, it's this girl!" She stood at the front of the classroom and pointed to herself. "Guess everyone who's ever called me the "Safe Kid" must be feeling pretty dumb now!"
She leaned to Mr. Skullnick with shifty eyes and asked quietly: "Do I need a hall pass?"
Her teacher growled. "Would you just go already?!"
Marcia grinned sheepishly and walked to the office.
Comet waited in front of the office impatiently- he was so excited to meet his new human friend! He couldn't stay still, and wanted to make time go by faster, even though the human was to be here any moment.
He gasped as he heard footsteps behind him, and immediately spun on his heel to see a girl wearing her dark brown hair in a ponytail. She wore a red hoodie with sleeves that stopped at the elbows, and a dark brown skirt that ended at about the middle of her thighs. She wore long socks that were the same shade of brown that reached to just below where her skirt ended. On her feet she adorned pale brown sneakers, both laced neatly. Her eyes were a deep, dark brown, and one of her tan cheeks had a small mole, which Comet found quite adorable. He had to admit, this human girl was surprisingly beautiful.
A smirk was on her face as she made her way to Comet and the principal, her hands tucked into her pockets in her hoodie. She stood next to the "foreign exchange student" and Principal Skeeves, curious as to why she was called to the office.
"Comet Butterfly, I'd like you to meet Marcia Diaz, the Safe Kid!"
Marcia frowned, and her face grew red. "Hey! I'm not the 'Safe Kid!'" She made quotation marks with her hands. "I-I'm the misunderstood bad girl!" she stuttered.
Comet giggled at this. This human girl getting flustered over being referred to being the "Safe Kid" was quite possibly one of the most adorable things he had seen in awhile.
"Yeah, yeah," Principal Skeeves commented, no longer paying attention to what Marcia was saying, but was rather back to cooing at her treasure chest of valuables. "Now go ahead and show the new foreign exchange student around." She began walking away, tucking the treasure chest under her arm. "I'm headed off to the ice cream shop. Momma's going to buy all 52 flavors!"
Comet turned to Marcia with sparkling eyes.
"Hi, Marcia! I'm Comet! I'm a prince from Mewni!" he waved enthusiastically in her face, flashing her a bright smile.
Marcia scooted back from his wave. "Uh… yeah I heard. I'm Marcia Diaz, as you probably heard from Principal Skeeves."
"Nice to meet you!" Comet beamed, nearly jumping in excitement from meeting a new Earth-friend. "Will you show me around?"
Marcia shrugged. She really didn't know what to say. He's a "prince from Mewni," so was she to bow down to him? Kneel? She had no idea. Then again, how was she to know if he wasn't just some over-enthusiastic boy (with a rather… unique sense of fashion) who had lost his mind and just began calling himself a prince? Though, she found that whoever this boy was, he was quite attractive... Either way, it was now her responsibility to show this "Comet" around Echo Creek Academy.
They began walking down the main hall, Comet pausing the tour every so often to stare in amazement at the "human magic" that was in this school, of which included a drinking fountain. At the end of the hall, a small group of kids who had obviously ditched their classes were standing together gossiping. When Marcia and Comet walked by, a couple of them began snickering, whispering about a "Safe Kid," shooting obvious glances at Marcia.
Comet turned to Marcia, a grin still on his face. "Wow, everyone likes calling you 'Safe Kid,' huh?"
Marica frowned. "Don't listen to what they're saying. I am absolutely not safe." She suddenly pushed Comet out of the way before he could trip over a loose tile in the floor. "I like living life to the fullest-careful!" Comet had nearly walked the door of an open locker, and luckily Marcia closed it before it could do him any harm. "Excitement! Adventure- wait!" Marcia threw an arm in front of Comet, forcing him to stop walking as the football team stampeded across them, barely missing the two by a few inches. They continued walking. "I'd love to welcome a little danger in my life!"
They stopped walking in front of a classroom in which a class was currently in session.
Comet began thinking. "So… you'd like a little danger, eh?"
"Totally." She turned away look at where she should take Comet next.
"Hm…"
He pulled out his wand, and before Marcia could continue on with the tour, he conjured a large, moth-like beast, which spread its gigantic wings and let out a horrific screech. It's beady eyes gazed around its surroundings, then soon rested on Marica. It then let out another ear-piercing screech. Marcia turned immediately to see what had caused the noise, and shrieked at what she saw.
The hideous beast lunged at her, it's mouth opened wide to show it's humongous fangs. Marcia's immediate reaction was to protect herself, and she crouched down, shielding her head with her arms, all the while screaming in terror.
It was then that Comet realized she wasn't really enjoying the "danger." He figured he'd have to fight the monster himself. He raised his wand in the air, chanting a spell that would eliminate the monster. He pointed the wand to the creature, and the blast of the spell left the wand and flew straight for it. When the blast hit the beast, it reared back in agony, writhing until it suddenly bursted into pastel-colored glitter and dust. 'Well, that was exhilarating!' he thought.
Marcia still crouched on the floor, eyes shut and her arms covering her head. Once she realized the awful animal was gone, she slowly pushed herself up, still shaking slightly from the action. She then faced Comet. "What the heck was that?!" she yelled.
Comet chuckled. "What? I thought you liked a little 'danger.'" He laughed, reminiscing on how fun it was to blast the monster with his new wand.
Marcia however, was not smiling. She stepped away from him. "Who… who are you?" she asked, placing her arms in front of her, shielding herself, as if the boy would blast her with his wand like he did to the moth-creature.
He waved his magic wand across and above his head, the wand leaving a rainbow trail, which released small, strange, pastel-colored animals, as well as glitter. "I'm a magical prince from another dimension!" he beamed.
The rainbow soon burst into flames, sending the animals all into a frenzy. Marcia saw this and immediately turned around to leave. She began speed-walking out of school. Comet saw her walking away and called after her, apparently not bothered by the fact that the fire from the rainbow was spreading to the school buildings.
"Oh! Bye new friend! Goodbye! Goodbye!"
Marcia heard the school's fire alarm going off, and the screams of students echoed around the school. She cringed, pulled her hood over her head, and sprinted away to home.
Thanks again for reading! We have not yet set an exact date by which the next chapter will be posted, but we will let you know as soon as we find a date. We will not have another chapter till probably the end of the month due to Isabella being out of town. Since Jenavieve doesn't have a life and is too lonely, she can't do anything with Isabella.
