Hey, everyone! I'm back! sorry I've taken so long to upload a new chapter! I've been super busy with finals, graduating High School, and then getting a new job. But I've recently have gotten a major injury, so I have been sitting around all day! And with the new season three trailers coming out, I decided that I needed to get back into this story! I hope you like this chapter, and I will try my very bet to keep you all updated!
Enjoy!
It was a dark, grey, and cloudy sky above as I looked at the new scene around me. I cringed at the dry, barren land before me, wondering what on earth happened to make it look like death. There were dead trees that looked like they were burnt to a crisp, skulls lying around, and the wind blew dry dust at my feet.
With a glance behind me, I spun around in shock at what lay behind me.
"It's... a castle?" I asked myself.
It was a tall, dark, foreboding castle, with tall spires with spikes, and a large gargoyle over the wooden double doors. It screamed "EVIL" at me, but knowing that nothing could touch me, I phased through the doors.
The first thing I noticed when I walked through those doors was how large and, unusually extravagant the foyer was. The next thing I noticed was a strange, yet familiar high pitched laughter coming from my right.
Walking slowly toward the noise, I rounded a corner and was surprised at who I saw.
"Wait... Ludo!?"
But there he was, sitting in his chair on top of many pillows as he laughed maniacally. Standing around him were his monster warriors, the ones Marco, Star and I fought all the time.
"Wait," I whispered to myself as I backed up a bit, "What is this? Why am I in Ludo's Castle?"
"I SAID WAKE UP!"
I gasped as I lifted my head off my desk. With my heart pounding, I looked up at Miss Skullnick as she glared down at me.
"How many times have I told you not to sleep in my class, Miss Diaz?" she croaked.
"Umm... a few?" I said, glancing out the window next to me.
"Well, make sure it doesn't happen again, or I will have to give you a detention!" she yelled.
I nodded as I felt myself blush in embarrassment, "Yes, Miss Skullnick." She growled in response and headed back to the front of the classroom.
"LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK!" shouted Star to the right of me as she pointed at a drawing she made on her desk.
"What, what, what, what, what?" I laughed as Marco, who sat on the other side of Star, and I both looked over at her.
"It's my name! It's my name, with a star inside of a butterfly," she said as she started drawing again, "With two hearts, and a spider!" I chuckled at her excitement.
Star looked back to us with a large grin on her face, but it was immediately extinguished when Miss Skullnick slammed a paper on my desk.
"As you can see, class," she said as she handed out graded papers to everyone, "Most of you have done a pathetic job!"
"Not me!" sang Star as she waved her paper at me, "I got an F for Fantastic!"
"Sorry to disappoint you Star, but that's an F for Fail." I whispered. Star looked at Marco, and he nodded.
"She's right, Star." he said, shrugging, "What, you don't have tests on Mewni?"
"Uhhhhh," she whimpered, looking at her paper before slamming it back onto the table, "So what grade did you guys get?" she asked us.
"Only the best grade you can get!" said Marco as he held up his paper, "An A+, with a smiley face!"
Star turned and looked at me. I shrugged and held up my paper, "Eh, it's not much, but a B+ is ok, too."
Star ooo'd at our papers, "I want the best one, too!" she said as she grabbed her paper and ran over to Miss Skullnick.
"No, wait Star!" Marco and I shouted after her.
"Oh, Miss Skullnick!" sang Star as she stood behind the craziest teacher in the universe. The chalk stick in Miss Skullnick's hand broke as she turned around, growling at Star.
I suddenly felt Marco tap my shoulder. Looking over at him, I mouthed the word 'what'.
"Are you ok?" he whispered to me, "You looked pretty panicked when Miss Skullnick woke you up. Did something happen?"
I looked over at Star as she started chewing on her wand, "It's ok, I'll talk about it later."
"I guess I'm doomed to dry land!" moaned Miss Skullnick. That made Star gasp with excitement.
"I got it!" I stood up at these words, "I'll cast a spell that will get you the perfect guy, and you can give me the perfect grade!"
"What!" shouted Miss Skullnick.
"Wait, Star!" I shouted.
"Man-magnet-"
"WAIT!"
"LOVE STORM!" She shouted, and an ugly green light burst out of her wand, and hit Miss Skullnick directly in the face, and before we knew it, she turned into a troll right in front of our eyes, and we all gasped in fright.
"Star!" Marco shouted as we ran over to her.
"W-What did you do!?" I asked as Miss Skullnick sat dazed before us.
"I-I think I turned her into a troll." Star said nervously.
"STAR BUTTERFLY RULES!" shouted a boy in class, and everyone started to cheer. I looked over at Miss Skullnick with sympathy as she started to scream at her new troll form.
"I'm HIDEOUS!" she shouted.
"Quick! Change her back!" Marco said, pointing at her with a hint of terror in his eyes.
"Oh, ok, yeah, right, hahaha, ok, yeah," Star said nervously, "Lightning CHANGE BACK!" she shouted, and pointed her wand back at Miss Skullnick as she screamed. A sudden pink light surrounded the 4 of us and I closed my eyes in fright.
It felt like I was being whirled through the air at the speed of sound. But as soon as it started, it stopped, and I opened my eyes the moment my feet was touching the ground again. Miss Skullnick started to scream again, and started to run around in fright.
"Huh, where are we?" Star asked us as she looked around.
"You just zapped us back to the house!" shouted Marco.
I gasped as I spun in a circle, "Yeah, Star! It's our room!"
"Ooohh! I wish I knew how I did that! It could really come in handy when I don't feel like using me legs!" she giggled, kicking her feet up and down where she stood. Miss Skullnick screamed again.
"What should we do?!" I asked as something shattered, "She's destroying the room!
"Let's tie her to a chair!" Shouted Star as the teacher started crying.
"Anything to get her to calm down!" replied Marco! By the time we got her tied in a chair, the floor was already flooded with her tears.
"Please don't cry, Miss Skullnick!" cried Star as Marco placed buckets by her feet to catch her tears.
"Star, we can't keep doing this!" I said.
"Yeah!" agreed Marco, "You're gonna have to call your mom!"
"Yeah Star! She'll know how to reverse the spell!" I said.
Star gasped in horror, "No! I can't ask for help! If my parents find out about this, they're gonna send me to St Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses! It's a terrible, horrible, place that no one who goes there ever comes out the same!" and then Star started to scream. I covered my ears to until she was done letting it all out.
"Ok, I'm done," she told us as I put my hands down.
"Look, Star. You just need to get the information without letting her know what's going on!"
"Yeah! I do that all the time!" I said, "I call it 'Dancing Around the Truth!"
Star smiled, "I'm a great dancer!" and then she started to boogie, and she danced all the way to her mirror.
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, Call Mom!"
"Calling Tom."
"What! No, no, no, no!"
The mirror suddenly showed a boy around Star's age, with red hair sticking up on end, three eyes, horns, and grey skin.
"Star!" he exclaimed in happiness.
"No! No!" said Star in anger.
"Oh, wait!" he said desperately, "You're here, I'm here!"
"I said call mom! Not Tom!"
"No! Star! DON'T HANG UP!" But it was too late. Star had already pressed the button before he could do anything. I looked over at Marco for some context for who he was, but he just shrugged. The mirror started to call Star's mom this time.
"I really gotta delete him off my mirror!" Star mumbled to herself.
"Oh Star, darling," Stars mom, Queen Moon, said as she answered with a monotone voice, yet had a smile on her face, "What a pleasant surprise."
"Sooo, Mom! Let's just say that someone accidentally turned someone into a troll with a wand, NOT THAT I WOULD DO THAT, no, cause that would completely be irresponsi-" a sudden bang sounded through the room as Miss Skullnick jumped through the wall, and Marco screamed.
"Star! What is going on!?" shouted Queen Moon as I ran after Marco towards the hole in the wall.
"GOTTAGOBYE!" Star shouted back as she pulled to curtains to her mirror closed, "WHAT HAPPENED!?" she screamed as she turned towards us.
"SHE JUMPED OUT THE WINDOW!" Marco yelled.
"More like she jumped through the window!" I retorted.
"QUICK! CATCH HER!" said Star as she grabbed Marco, throwing him out the window. Then she crabbed the back of my shirt and blasted us out of her room as I screamed. Marco landed on Miss Skullnick and one second later we landed on top of him with an OOF!
"Wow! Good job Marco!" smiled Star.
"Meh! Meh meh Mehme!" mocked a high pitched, squeaky voice. All three of us looked up in shock into the eyes of Ludo and his army of monsters.
"Ludo! What are you doing here?!" asked Star as she pointed at him. I was suddenly reminded of my dream I had earlier, and I glared at Ludo.
"Catching you AT YOUR MOST DISTRACTED!" he shouted.
"What!?" shrieked Star, "I have been way more distracted than this!" I nodded in agreement.
"I don't know, you seem," Ludo looked Star up and down, "Pretty distracted."
"Ehh, not really."
"Oh, well," shrugged Ludo, "WHAT'S THAT OVER THERE!? he shouted pointing behind Star.
"What! Where!?" she yelled, turning around towards where he was pointing.
"GET HER!" Ludo screamed, and his monsters yelled in response. We screamed and jumped off of Miss Skullnick in a run. Running to the other side of the yard, we stood in a group stance, ready for the fight. Star held her wand up, Marco his hands, and me my fists.
With a jump into the air, Star shouted, "Dagger crystal HEART ATTACK! FEEL THE LOVE!" The spell hit a couple of monsters, and they all groaned in response.
While Marco fought a couple of monsters that cornered him, I ran over to Miss Skullnick.
"Miss Skullnick, are you ok?" I asked, pulling out my signature pocket knife. It was my most prized possession. It was a single, blue blade with a beautiful, spiral, pearl rose encrusted on the handle ( here it is you can go look at it: pin/640988959434205315/ ). With a single swipe I cut the binds on the chair. Miss Skullnick sat up and looked at me with a confused look on her face.
"You're letting me go?" she asked.
"Yeah," I shrugged, "I don't always agree with what Star does. Let's just say that you owe me one, Ok?"
"Sure," she said, standing up. Suddenly, out of nowhere she was blasted away when a monster was roughly shoved into her. I wasn't able to see what happened after that, for I was geting cornered by a large monster frog. I put up my fists in defense, ready to punch him where the sun don't shine, when he was blasted away by one of Star's Narwhal Blasts.
"Hey, Marco! Tessa! You guys can handle this by yourselves right!?" Star asked us.
"Yeah, totally!" I said.
"No problem!"
"Cool, thanks!" Star said, before running off in the direction of Miss Skullnick who was attempting to climb the fence.
"Wait.." Marco said as we turned around. All of the monsters were standing there, growling at us. Marco and I both looked at each other in fear before we both screamed as they jumped at us.
"Turbo Nuclear BUTTERFLY BLAST!" Star shouted. All the monsters, Ludo, Marco, and I screamed as the wand ignited.
"Not again!" Ludo shouted as the wand blasted. I closed my eyes and covered my head as I felt the wave of heat and butterflies wash over me. When I opened them again I gasped at the scene around me. Everything around me was a burning pile of ruins.
"Whoa-ho-ho-ho-hoooa!" Star shouted enthusiastically.
"Euhhhh!" Marco moaned. My heart couldn't stop pounding in my throat as I coughed on the ground, clutching my knife in my hand.
"Get up! Get uuuuup!" Ludo screamed as he shook Beard Deer, who lay on the ground unconscious.
"Told you I wasn't distract- Wait! Did I just kill that guy!" she asked, her voice full of worry.
"No! He's not dead! He's probably just bleeding internally and being a huge BABY ABOUT IT!" Ludo shouted at him, then kicked him in the head. He then walked off, and pulled his scissors out of his pocket, muttering stupid wuss under his breath as he created a portal back. Turned back he shouted, "GET UP YOU DIPSTICKS!" and one by one they all went back into the portal. All except one.
"Oooh, you're so mussley!" moaned Miss Skullnick.
"Ooooooh!" Star awed as Miss Skullnick and the monster walked towards us. Miss Skullnick was hanging onto his arm and gazing lovingly into his eyes, "Soooo," Star continued, "Now that I hooked you up, how 'bout that A?" she asked, jumping up and down. I shook my head and smiled at her crazy antics.
"Honey, please" said Miss Skullnick, waving her hand, "I'd give you an A+ if I was still a teacher! I'm now setting off with Captain Triceps, here!" she said, snuggling into him. He grinned down at her. They started to walk off together towards the portal. Miss Skullnick giggled, while the monster 'whoo-hoo'd'.
"What about my A!" shouted Star.
"Try studying!" replied Miss Skullnick with a grin.
The next day, the three of us were sitting back in class, watching as Star told everybody what happened in yesterday's events.
"So, anyway, long story short, Skullnick ran off with this weird-man-bull-guy-thing to another dimension, and now she is gone forever!" she finished. The class was quiet for a moment.
"STAR BUTTERFLY RULES!" shouted a boy before everyone stood over and ran to her desk. I giggled quietly and joined.
"Wow, Star! That is so rad, girl!" said Jackie Lynn Thomas.
"Thanks!" sang Star, "But actually," she reached over and grabbed Marco, "It's Marco who deserved all the credit!" she said, pushing him towards Jackie. Then she looked over at me and winked. I smiled and winked back.
"Really?" asked Jackie, "That's awesome!" Marco giggled and blushed. Everyone cheered.
There was a sudden light from above us and someone yelling. From that light a portal emerged and from it fell Miss Skullnick, crashing into her desk.
"Miss Skullnick?!" Marco yelled.
"What are you doing here!?" I asked.
"He dumped me! I think! I don't know! I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND A WORD HE WAS SAYING!" Miss Skullnick shouted and she stood up.
"Welcome back, Skullzers!" said Star.
Miss Skullnick rounded on us, looking angrier than ever. "GET READY FOR THE WORST POP QUIZ OF YOUR LIVES!" Everyone groaned and returned to their seats, shooting annoyed glares at Marco.
"Sorry, Marco!" whispered Star, "i didn't mean to embarrass you in front of Jackie!"
Marco turned to her, grinning from ear to ear, "Are you kidding!? That's the most she's ever talked to me!"
"Congrats, Marco!" I laughed.
Star gasped, "That means I'm even BETTER AT MATCHMAKING THAN i AM AT MAGIC!" she said, tossing her wand back and forth in her hands. Out of nowhere, a spell was casted and hit Marco in the face, turning his head into a half human half butterfly thing. Star and I winced.
"I think you're right on that one, Star," I agreed.
