So, um...I got a bit of "splainin" to do, huh? So, the end of the semester sorta crept up upon me faster then I had originally foresaw, so I had to double down on that until everything subsided and things sorta relaxed. But then came the process of going through the Star Vs. lore and Eclipsa and Toffee history in order to come up with some sort of feasible explanation for Toffee's backstory. Yeah...in short, I literally wrote myself into a creative corner. Now, however, I'm back at it and ready to continue the story...even if most probably lost interest a good while ago (it's the Internet, I don't blame you), but for readers old and new, welcome back to the story! Hopefully...and I do mean hopefully, things are back in order. And now that the real-life stuff out of the way:

Star: Okay...let's see here (quickly flips through books), hm, Warnicorn anatomy? No. Bullfrog parenting and you? Eeeh'll save that for later...
(Squints at book quizzically.)
...The horrors of Gnomes and defensive measures, gardening equipment pending?
(Glances at Marco for a minute, pauses, and looks back at book.)
Oh, oh! HereitishereitisHEREITIS!
Marco: Star, voice! We're trying to keep low profile remember...not really sure how well that ice'll hold up either.
(Cuts back to Tom seething with rage causing the ice to steam, and then back to Star.)
S: Sorry. (Clears throat.)
In the kingdom of Mewni, many a citizen have recounted the tales of one Butterfly family member's quest for her own future. Moon, the next in line for the throne, was a humble but rambuctious princess. A girl set to be a princess of the people from birth, yet a future she felt she could not uphold.
M: Huh, wow. Guess she was sorta like you in a way.
S: Yeah, but...what happened? Now she's all stuck-up and errrgh...
M: Star, read.
One day, whilst Moon was roaming the land, she had accidentally stumbled upon a secret kingdom nestled in the dark woods, unbeknownst to her, or any of her family thus far. From there, she had wandered to this village with a smile on her face and a spring in her step...to which she was then immediately captured.
M: Sur-prised she got that far.
She was taken to the head of the kingdom as an outsider and was set to be emprisoned for many days and nights to come, but before the king could make heads or tails of it, his son stepped in. Toffee, to Moon: a prince mystery and intrique, but to the royals, an obedient and kind son and one who many monsters soon came to respect. After Toffee discussed things over in the throne room, it was agreed upon that Moon would be let go, but was to never return to this place for fear of espionage. She agreed and left...but something had also happened on that day. She began to feel a welcoming presence around him, and wanted to speak with him more, and learn more of him and his culture. She had developed...feelings for these monsters she had come to fear.
S: MOM!? With hi-? And the-? ...Uuuuueeeghhh! (Recoils in disgust.)
M: He seemed so...normal.
For many months, Moon began visiting Toffee in secret, away from her family, friends, and everyone. Toffee couldn't help but think otherwise, but it seemed like harmless fun. They exchanged everything, secrets, hand-crafted charms, and even books from the kingdom's library. And over time, their friendship had turned into an ever-lasting love.
Until one day. Moon was careless. She was so eager to see him, she left bright and early in the morning and came right through the window just as quickly as she had ever done. But when she reached Toffe's room...others were there to greet her.
It turned out that, as they had visited each other, the king started to gather suspicion that something was afoot after many of his books had gone missing. Without a trace.
The king at first was furious. How could he let his guard down over someone he had barely known? And how could Toffee put the kingdom in danger like this. But, as he thought about it, this may have worked in his favor. And all it would take was a trip.
(Zoom in on scissors. Zoom out to Moon being strolled through the Rhombulos Dimension.)
In exchange for Moon's life and Toffee's visits to be even, the king had offered an ultimatum. Let the monsters issue a call to see the kingdom's most guarded secrets and magic...or be executed.
(Walks up to Eclipsa's crystal and Moon begins to supercharge the wand.)
But just as this evil wealth of knowledge was about to be released...more chaos awaited ijust behind them.
(Moon's parents and guards immediately show up through their own portal dressed in garb for an event, and are shocked at the sight happening in front of them.)
Her family rushed over as fast as they could. Moon had lost all concentration, and as a result:
(Moon's wand's blast knocks her over, the beam bounces off of other empty crystals scattered about and heads straight towards Toffee.)
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
(Moon gets frightened, sees Toffee's finger lying there and squirming, and immediately grabs it and rushes to put it in her wand for safeguard from the chaos.)
The Mewnian guard fled, and left the monsters stranded. As the panic continued and they gathered themselves, but when they had regained their composure, and after much searching for lost or destroyed members, they headed back to their village...only to make a drastic discovery.
(As Toffee returns home, finger wrapped, the scene pans to the burnt and charred remains of their village.)
Everything...all of their history, their culture, their life. Gone. Chased away even further from their homes with a vengeance from the Butterfly's.
As years past, Toffee's vengeance grew towards the family and their actions...until finally:
(Toffee comes out from hiding in trying to talk with Moon, only to see her and a young River on a log, hands held overlooking the kingdom.)
His worries were sealed. There was no need for contempt anymore. Revenge was his creed. Terror soon reigned as Toffee arose to power, separated the kingdoms even further, and trying to gain access to any record necesary, all to make those suffer how he had suffered. Until finally...
(Cut to famous picture of Moon blasting Toffee.)
M: I...I don't...
S: ...Toffee.
M: That's uh...whoo, that's a lot to take in. But at least we got what we came for, right Star?
(Star takes the book and walks off, head tilted downwards slightly.)
...Star?
(Opens a portal with Dimensional Scissors.)
Everything okay...you sure that wasn't-?
S: Marco, I mean...all my life, I thought I was doing right to myself and my family. I was told that all monsters were bad...evil creatures bent on destruction, and that Mewni and the Universe was forever this perfect and happy place aside! But now...knowing this, I don't know what to do. (Looks down confusedly.)
M: Hey, Star?
(Puts hand on Star's shoulder.)
...We'll get through this. We always do, right?
S: Maybe. I guess we'll just have to roll with it. (Smiles a bit, turns around a heads through the portal.) ...You comin', Marco?
M: In a sec. Think I'll hang back and see if I can find anything else here whil we still can.
S: Pfft. M'kay, "suit yourself", I guess.
M: Hehe, yeah. Won't be too long! (Sighs, sits down at nearby table in the library.)
(Cell phone rings.)
Wha...How do I have BARS down here? Uh...
(Looks at phone.)
Oh!
(Picks up phone and answers it.)
Jackie, hello?
Jackie: Hey, uh, Marco? So, bit of a situation over here. Know anything about some lizard guy in a suit?
(Marco immediately gets a cold look on his face and slams his head on the desk.)
(Cut to black.)
End Credits Bonus!
M: I think Mew-ni's a pretty cra-zy place.
S: That's saying something, 'cause we've been through outer space.
M: It's weird and creepy, but still her style.
S: Looks like we'll have to stay a little whi-le.
M: A new adventure with a course that has been set.
S: To blast new monsters, and still never break a sweat.
M&S: For now, it looks like we can call this pla-ace, home!
