CHAPTER 3- ON GOOD TERMS

Marcia was incredibly relieved to be back home. She took a deep breath as she stood in front of her Spanish-style house and began walking down the walkway to the front door. She pulled out her key and unlocked the door, then opening it and taking a step in.

"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" she called out. However, no one answered, though she heard cheery conversations and laughter. Confused, Marcia turned her head to the living room, and nearly fell back at what she saw.

Her mother and father were sitting on the couch together, which would be normal enough, but they were not the only ones in the living room. They were being entertained by none other than Comet Butterfly. An expression of both surprise and anger made its way to Marcia's face. She ran to the couch her parents were sitting on.

"What's he doing here?" she almost screamed, motioning to the too-cheery boy that her parents had their attention on.

Marcia's father, Mr. Diaz turned to her. "Oh, hello Marcia! This is Comet!" he pointed enthusiastically at Comet, who waved excitedly at Marcia. Mr. Diaz threw his arms into the air and smiled. "He's going to be living with us!"

Marcia was immediately taken aback by what she heard. Her eyes widened. "L-living with… us?" she said through a face she was trying to keep straight.

Her mother, Mrs. Diaz, spoke. "Yes! Won't it be great to have his upbeat, liveliness all around the house?" she giggled as Comet created a small hat with his wand and placed it on her head.

Marcia gritted her teeth. "You could've gotten that 'upbeat liveliness' from a litter of puppies!"

Comet chimed. "Ooh! I love puppies!" He jumped up and down in excitement as he once again raised his wand and conjured a litter of small puppies who yipped happily. Mrs. Diaz cooed at them, finding them quite adorable.

However, she reeled back when bright, red beams began emitting from the puppies' eyes. The beams struck a table lamp, knocking it off of its stand, and burned a hole through a photo of the Diaz family.

Mrs. Diaz chuckled nervously at the puppy she held in her arms, praying it wouldn't follow the ways of its siblings. Nevertheless, the laser-eyed puppy sent out a red beam, catching Mrs. Diaz in the eye. She chuckled, "Ow!" yet continued to laugh.

Marcia growled, about to make a comment about how dangerous these laser puppies were in the house, but was interrupted when Mr. Diaz spoke.

"Marcia! Why don't you show Comet to his room? Take his luggage for him!"

Marcia frowned, but obeyed. She found Comet's enormous suitcase located by the front door, and proceeded to attempt to drag it to the stairs. It was extremely heavy, though she just barely managed to reach the top of the stairs with it. Comet just skipped up the stairs happily, excited to see his own room.

When the two reached the door to Comet's room, Marcia let go off the luggage and sighed. She opened the door, revealing a small, plain white room. The laminate floors were dark brown, and the only furniture in the room was an old, rickety bed, a wooden wardrobe with white, chipped paint, and a vanity pressed up against one wall. Marcia dragged Comet's intricately-designed suitcase into the room.

Comet stepped inside, observing the room. He chewed on the end of his wand, clearly deep in thought. "Yeah… I can work with this…"

Marcia just looked at him in confusion. She shrugged his strange comment off and began turning to leave the room. But before she could walk past the doorway, she heard Comet yell out:

"Sparkle Glitter Bomb Expand!"

Marcia immediately turned around to face blinding light, and shielded her eyes. Puffs of sparkly, pastel blue and green clouds began exploding around the room, shielding the room entirely from sight. Marcia coughed when the glittery dust settled, but gasped in awe at what she saw.

The room looked nothing like the way it had been before. For one thing, it was much, much larger, almost the size of the entire house itself. The ceiling was raised a lot higher than it had been before- about twice as tall as the home. Many different colors were added to the room as well, varying from light blues to pastel greens, making the room look much friendlier, and added a more cheery atmosphere to it. New furniture came with the expansion of the room as well. Several cutesy, not-from-Earth animals scampered and fluttered around, looking cheery as ever. All in all, Comet's room had been turned into large castle loft.

Comet ran to his bed, and proceeded to jump on it. "Ah! That's better."

Marcia just stared in awe. She smiled, wide-eyed. "Wow. I wish I had a room like this."

Comet gasped, and stopped bouncing on his bed. "You do?" He climbed off the bed and immediately sprinted to where he assumed was Marcia's room. Marcia turned her head to watch Comet as he headed to her room. "Huh?" She followed."

When Marcia arrived at her room, Comet was already standing inside, wand raised to cast a spell.

"Mystic Room Suck Transform!"

As soon as the spell was spoken, what appeared to be a black hole appeared in the center of the room. A look of horror appeared on both of the two teens' faces when they realized what was happening. Marcia's belongings began to slide towards the black hole, emptying into who-knows-where.

Both Comet and Marcia began screaming when they realized they were being sucked in, too. They ran as quickly as they could to the door, Comet reaching the doorway before Marcia. Marcia pulled her way closer to the doorway, but the black hole was getting stronger, making it more difficult for her to move forward. She ran ahead using all of her strength, and just barely made it past the door before she was sucked completely what was sure to be certain death. Comet slammed the door as soon as Marcia was out of the room.

She turned angrily at Comet. "'Suck'? 'Suck'?! Why was the work 'suck' in that spell?!" Comet looked at her, panicking.

"I don't know it just came out that way!" he rambled.

Marcia just groaned, facing the door to her room- or whatever was left of her room. She slammed her head against the wood in frustration.

Comet immediately felt guilty. "I'm sorry, Marica." He looked frantically around. "Uh… how about a little sunshine to brighten your day?"

With the wave of his wand, Comet created a small, gleeful sun that hovered over Marica's head. However, the sun's cheeriness lasted only for a few moments, as it soon turned into a dark rain cloud, soaking Marcia in water.

Comet flinched, feeling even more guilty.

Maria began trembling in anger. "That's it! I can't take this anymore!" She removed her head from the door and faced Comet. "If you're moving in, I'm moving out!" She ran downstairs, Comet following close behind.

Comet called after her. "Wait! Marcia! I'm sorry!"

But Marcia didn't listen. She bursted through the front door, sprinting down the walkway to the sidewalk. Comet stopped running after her. He felt so bad.

For several minutes, he contemplated whether or not to go after her, apologize, and help her, but ultimately decided not to. He figured that by doing so, he would just make everything worse.

Night had fallen, and Marcia was standing desperately with her hood lifted over her head at the front doors of a convenience store, Stop & Slurp. The rain cloud still hovered above her, drenching her. A crazed expression was on her face, scaring away any passerby.

She noticed a man who was on his way to the Stop & Slurp getting near her.

Marcia whispered manically to herself, an empty plastic slushie container clenched in her hand. "Here he comes, here he comes."

As soon as the man reached her, Marcia stood in front of him. "Hey buddy, do me a solid," she begged, looking as psychotic as ever. She waved her empty slushie container frantically in the man's face. "Refill this for me!"

The man apprehensively backed away, then soon ran off.

Marcia just exclaimed: "They won't let me in because I'm sooooggyy!" She waved her arms around, stomping in the puddle of water the storm cloud hovering above her made.

She turned to see a woman and her son walk out of the store, and immediately waved at them. "Did you bring my refill?" she yelled aggressively, causing the woman and boy to walk away nervously.

"Don't make eye-contact," the mother whispered to her son.

Marica pulled out a chocolate bar from her sweater and ripped the wrapper off. She chomped noisily on it and yelled after them. "You come to my house, you bring toilet paper!"

She heard another person approaching from behind, and prepared to beg for them to get her a refill. As soon as she believed she heard the footsteps were close enough, she turns around, ready to wave her slushie container at them.

She stops in her tracks when she sees who was approaching her. It was Comet.

"Wha- woah!" She immediately scowled. "What are you doing here?"

An expression of sorrow formed on Comet's face. He looked at his shoes.

"Look, I didn't get a choice about coming here to Earth, and you didn't get a choice about having to deal with me."

Marcia's face began to soften when she noticed tears that began to pool at Comet's eyes.

He spoke again. "I'll… I'll go find another family to live with." He lifted his head to face Marcia again, who's face of regret had changed into an expression of fear.

Comet cocked his head to the side, confused as to why Marcia looked so nervous.

"C-Comet…" Marcia stuttered, pointing ahead of the both of them.

Comet turned to meet an army of monsters, all led by a rather small figure, though one that Comet knew all too well.

"Ludo."

He whipped out his wand, readying himself to attack.

But before he could blast them with spells, Ludo spoke.

"Comet Butterfly. At last, I've found you!" the small, bird-like monster exclaimed.

Comet just furrowed his eyebrows. "How did you find me here?"

Ludo chuckled arrogantly. "Wouldn't you like to know?"

Comet lowered his wand, nodding his head. "Yes. That's why I asked."

Ludo began to explain how he had found Comet, beginning with: "Well, Buff Frog here," he motioned to the large frog-like creature that stood on two legs beside him "had been spying on-" He stopped himself. "Hey, wait! I don't have to tell you anything!" He turned to his minions. He pointed at Comet, screeching: "Get him!"

Comet raised his wand again, about to fire away at the monsters that roared and lunged at him. He had just began calling out his first spell, but was interrupted by a loud "Hi-ya!"

Comet just stood in awe when he realized that Marcia had just laid a punch on the gut of a three-eyed monster as well as a powerful kick to the head, causing the minion to fall unconscious. Comet laughed. "You can fight?"

Marica smiled as she round-house kicked a rather tall monster. "It's called… karate!"

The two stood side-by-side, beating any monster that attacked, Marcia fighting with her karate skills, and Comet with both his magic and hand-to-hand combat.

Ludo groaned as he realized his minions were being easily taken down by the two teens. He ran over to Buff Frog, who had just been knocked unconscious by a blast from Comet's wand. "You're embarrassing me! Get up!"

Buff Frog soon regained consciousness and stood up wearily. He hurried to the nearest lamp post and yanked it from the ground, swinging it around as if it were a bat. He roared as he swiped Comet and Marica.

"Jellybean Hallucination Mist!" Comet shouted.

Buff Frog halted when blue, gilttery mist surrounded him, blocking his view of the battle and his surroundings. He grew confused when he began to see multi-colored jellybeans floating around him, each smiling cheerily. He soon became so engrossed in inspecting the smiling jellybeans, that he had forgotten about the fight that had been going on.

Comet and Marcia stood together, surrounded by Ludo's minions. Both looked at each other nervously, aware that there were too many monsters to fight. Marcia began panicking when the monsters closed in on them, but Comet soon had an idea.

He lifted his wand above his head, shouting: "Mega… Narwhal… Blast!"

He aimed his wand to the ground and grabbed onto Marcia's arm. When the wand blasted magic, it launched both Comet and Marcia high above the ground, allowing the spell to only hit the monsters below them, and not themselves.

Marcia shielded her eyes as the blinding, rainbow-colored water in which several medium-sized cutesy narwhals swam in flooded the ground below them, sweeping away every monster, including Ludo.

When the water had washed away and the two landed on the ground, all that was left of the "battleground" was several monsters lying on the ground, groaning in pain, and Ludo, who was on his feet again.

Comet and Marcia stood together, both ready to fight, and looking as intimidating as ever.

"You want some of this, Ludo?" Comet asked as his wand began glowing.

Ludo frowned. "No…" It was impossible to miss the disappointment and anger in his voice as he yelled at his minions. "You see, you morons? This is what happens when you don't work out!" He pulls out a pair of dimensional scissors and opens a portal beside him. "Hurry up! Get back in the portal already!" he shouted as the monsters wearily shuffled into the portal.

Once all of the monsters had passed through the portal, Ludo leapt in last. He stuck his head back out, his body still through the portal, and turned to Comet. "I'll get you, Comet Butterfl-!" His words were cut off with gagging sounds, as the portal had closed around his neck, choking him.

Marcia and Comet chuckled as he struggled. Ludo yanked his head in the portal, barely making his head fit through. However, his crown fell off of his head, and before he could reach through the portal to grab it, the portal closed completely.

It took a moment for Marcia to realize what had just happened. When she did realize, she shouted. "That was amazing! I was amazing!" She turned to look at Comet wide-eyed. "You were amazing!"

Comet just stared, and when he realized what Marcia had said to him, he could feel his face growing red.

But the blush soon faded away when he remembered what he had originally came to Marcia for.

"Yeah… I guess we were…"

Marcia looked at Comet confusedly.

Comet just continued. "Well… I guess I should go pack my bags." He turned to leave, but before he could begin walking, he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Wait."

He turned in surprise to face Marcia, a sad smile on her face.

"I don't want you to leave. I want you to stay here, with us."

Comet's entire face lit up. "Really?"

Marica nodded. "Really."

Comet immediately went in for a big hug, catching Marcia by surprise. The two giggled in each other's arms before separating. It was incredibly late, and both figured they should head home.

Comet had a lot of thoughts running through his head. Of the several hundred racing around in his mind, one stood out to him the most. He had made his first Earth friend.

The mere statement set off a lot of feelings in him, the majority being happiness, excitement, and relief that he wouldn't have to be on his journey on Earth alone. He knew he had someone to be by his side the whole way, someone he knew he could trust. The only person, actually, he could count on.

After pondering these thoughts that seemed to be the only things going through his head, he made a decision.

As of now, Marcia was the most important person to him.

Comet and Marcia walked together on the sidewalk, the human girl still pumped from the battle. "Are we going to be fighting monsters all the time?" She turned to Comet, a hopeful grin on her face.

Comet shrugged. "Probably," he replied, returning the smile.

Marcia jumped up, pumping her fists into the air. "Awesome! That sounds dangerous!"

Comet watched as she leaped around excitedly, the biggest grin he had seen on Earth so far plastered on her face, occasionally karate-chopping at the air. He really did like this human girl, Marcia. The two stopped at their tracks, however, when Marcia threw her arm in front of Comet just before he could step on the street they were about to cross.

"Woah woah woah!" she exclaimed, gently pushing Comet back onto the sidewalk. After a few moments of standing, she noticed her arm still holding Comet protectively back, and chuckled nervously, a deep red tinting her face. "Uh, let's cross at the light," she muttered, looking away from Comet, who just giggled at her nervousness and protectiveness.

"Okay, wild girl," he teased, elbowing Marcia in a friendly way, who giggled back, blushing again at the name.

And the two new friends walked back to the home they now shared, oblivious to the many adventures (not to mention the several perilous ones) they will go on together very soon.

But as of now, their only concern was each other, and that was how it would stay.

AND THAT'S IT! We hoped you enjoyed this story, we spent quite a while on it, and we had a lot of fun writing it. Thank you so much for reading!
