So this isn't my best writing. I kind of didn't have a ton of ideas for this chapter, but next one is MONSTER ARM! I've been looking forward to that one for a while, and it's going to be awesome! Anyway I hope you enjoy!

Star POV

"My goodness! I've never seen the school so excited and happy before!" I say to Marco cheerfully. We're sitting on the football field bleachers with Janna. All around us, students are cheering, waving flags, and passing a beach ball around.

"Yep this is what happens at a pep rally, people go insane." he replies.

Principal Skeeves begins talking through a megaphone. "And now, Brittany Wong! Who became head cheerleader on her own, and not because her father made a generous donation to the school!"

"Oh great, here comes the spirit committee," Janna chimed in.

I look towards the field and see a group of people in yellow and red uniforms sprinting and dancing. The group cheers as they run onto the field carrying a girl with black hair above their heads. "Go Echo Creek! Let's try not to get beat! Go Echo Creek! Let's try not to get beat! Go! Go! Go! Go!" They set the black haired girl down next to principal Skeeves. She gives him a death glare before ripping the megaphone from his hands.

"Make some noise if you love the awesome opossums!" She shouts. The bleachers erupt into sound as kids shout, clap, and cheer to show their support. I give a few claps myself and smile. However, Janna and Marco seem unimpressed. "What's the matter with you two? Aren't you excited about this pep rally?" I ask them

"Not really," Marco says, "This rally is to hype up our football game against the Warriors. They're our rivals from Silver Hill Prep, and they always slaughter us."

"Yeah, were basically celebrating our football players deaths." Janna says.

My smile drains off my face. "Well, isn't there something we can do to help out the team?"

He thinks for a minute. "Well Janna, Oskar, and I were just going to play some pranks on them, but maybe you could join the spirit committee if you really want to support the team."

"That's a great idea Marco! Wait a minute... where is Oskar anyway?" I question.

Janna and Marco just smile. "And now here is the school mascot that I never approved of!" Brittany shouts in an irritated tone. My gaze falls back in the field. Someone in a possum costume is playing a rock song on a keytar.

"Wait, I know that keytar anywhere! Oskar is the mascot?!"

Marco laughs. "Well not normally, Oskar is just filling in so we can pull off one of our pranks on the Warriors,"

"What kind of prank?" I ask.

"Every year the Warriors kidnap our mascot. So we decided to let them kidnap Oskar, and then prank them. Once they take him, he'll be loaded with fireworks, stink bombs, powder bombs, and spray paint to cause some havoc!"

I frown. "You guys don't think that's a bit barbaric?"

Janna scowls at me. "They kidnap our mascot every year and do terrible things to them! That's barbaric! This is revenge!"

"Plus, that's only phase one," Marco says with a smug look.

"You know what, I don't even want to know. I'm going to go talk to Brittany about joining the spirit committee." I begin walking away, but hear Marco shout something at me. "Just be careful! Brittany is a manipulative bitch!"

I walk inside and wait next to the gym door. I stand there for a few minutes before I see the cheer team walking back towards the gym. Leading them is Brittany.

"Hello Brittany!" I say as she approaches the door.

She smiles. "Hello Star Butterfly. What brings you here?"

"I came to see about joining the cheer team! I'm a pretty good dancer!"

She thinks for a few seconds. "Come inside the gym, and ill let you try out." She opens the door and walks in.

I smile widely and follow her. She sure doesn't seem rude, I think to myself. "So what kind of dances do you do?"

"Watch this." She plays music on a boom box, and does a dance routine with two other girls. They go for about a minute before Brittany starts talking again. "And here's our secret weapon! We're going to distract the Warriors with our booty shaking dance moves!"

Brittany and the two other girls start shaking their rear ends. I blush a bit. "Umm... is 'shaking my booty' really going to distract anyone?"

"Uh, yeah. It seems to distract that jerk Marco you hang out with."

"Wait what?!" I say in complete shock.

"How have you not noticed it? I've seen him 'inspecting' you while you guys walk around the school," She says folding her arms.

I blush hard. "Um... okay. I guess I can try this routine." They give me a uniform, and let me practice for about an hour before my official tryout. I got the dance down, but the shaking still makes me a bit uncomfortable.

"Alright Star, are you ready?" Brittany asks me. "I'm ready." The music begins and I start the routine. I perfectly match what Brittany and the other girls did, even the shakes, which still feel weird. They look impressed by the end of the routine.

"Wow Star! You did great! Your booty shakes will definitely distract the Warriors!"

"Uh yeah..." Yep that's always going to be weird. "So did I make the team?"

She folds her arms and smiles. "Star Butterfly, welcome to the cheer team!"

Marco POV

"C'mon guys, we need to get this set up before the game!" I say as Janna, Oskar, and I haul prank supplies from Oskar's car to the football field. For a couple of high school students, we have some pretty high tech pranks. Oskar takes lots of machinery and shop classes, so he hooks us up with quite a few neat things. For instance, the firework time bomb I'm installing on the field.

It's a box of fireworks that's rigged with a clock to go off at a specific time. I hide under a patch of fake grass. I set the time to go off in 5 hours, which is roughly around the time the game will begin. When it strikes zero, fireworks will launch into the air and explode, and hopefully cause some chaos.

I set up 4 of them in various spots around the field. "Hey guys, the fireworks are set up. Hows if coming with you guys?"

"Sprinkler system is rigged to go off during the first quarter. I also messed around with the scoreboard so it will endlessly alarm and flash lights when the game starts." Oskar says smirking, obviously proud of his own work.

"That's so sick!" I say excitedly. "What about you Janna, what've you got set up?"

"I've got a couple hundred paint balloons and powder bombs stored on the roof. I'll start hucking em down when the fireworks go off."

"Then Oskar will come out in his costume and cause more trouble! Man, this might be the best prank in history!" I can barely contain my excitement at this point.

"Yeah it's about time these assholes get what's coming to them. Just wait till they see what I've got up my sleeve!" Janna says to me, rubbing her hands together.

"Wait what?"

"What? I didn't say anything."

"Oh, well ok. Cmon guys let's make sure we're outta here before someone catches wind of our shit!" I run towards Oskar's car, and Janna and Oskar follow me.

Back at the Diaz household

Janna, Oskar, and I walk through the front door. "Alright Oskar, come up to my room and we'll get your costume geared up."

"Sounds good man! Janna you coming?"

"I haven't seen Star since earlier today. I'm going to go say hey to her."

"Alright. Me and Oskar will either be in my room or in the back shed. Tell her I said hi!" Me and Oskar go into my room, and Janna goes into Stars.

Star POV

I'm sitting at my vanity braiding my hair, when I hear someone open my door. "Hey girl, what's up?" Janna says as she walks in.

"Hello Janna. How's your day going?"

"Meh, just another school day. How about you?"

I smile and show her my uniform. "I took Marcos advice and joined the cheer team!"

"Hey that's great Star! Careful with Brittany though, she's an ass."

I frown. " Janna, language. And why do you guys hate her so much, she's been so nice to me!"

"Star, I'm just saying keep an eye on her. I don't want to see you hurt, and I'm sure Marco and Oskar dont want to either. I'll see you at the game later." She turns and leaves my room.

"Sigh, I better keep getting ready." I say as I go back to braiding my hair.

Marco POV

10 minutes before the game

"Alright, is everything in position?" I ask Janna and Oskar.

"Yep, let's get into position." Oskar replies. We lead Oskar from his car, over to the backside of the bleachers. "Good luck dude," I say as I pound his fist. He puts on the Possum mask and stands in the open. Janna and I hide in nearby bushes and wait for a few minutes.

A group of Warrior football players swiftly move from the shadows and grab Oskar. Bingo. Phase one is complete. "Alright, I'm going to go get in position on the roof. See you in a bit," Janna says running off.

I walk up the bleachers and take a seat, waiting for the game to begin. "Hey Marco." I turn and see Star. She's wearing a red and yellow cheer uniform. "Hey you made the team!"

She smiles. "Yep! I was just coming over to say thanks for suggesting that I try out." A whistle blows and people in the stands start cheering. "Well, I'll see you later. The cheer team is about to go on!" She turns and begins to walk off. "Give em hell!" I yell to her as she takes her position on the field.

I smile and sit down. Star got on the cheer team, and I'm about to prank the Warriors. Today is a good day. Brittany gets on the megaphone and starts talking. "And now, our football team, the Awesome Opposums!" The crowd goes wild as our team runs into the field. The cheer team begins doing their routine.

The crowd is loving it, and cheers louder. That all stops when we see the Warriors run onto the field. They're all at least twice the size of our guys, and look ready to kill.

Our team slowly gets in position. The Warriors get ready to kick the ball. It's time.

Time slows as a whistle blows and the Warriors kicker starts running toward the ball. It feels like minutes before his foot connects with the ball and... "BOOM"

The ball explodes into a cloud of white powder. It catches the Warriors off gaurd, and they stumble backwards. "CRACK! BOOM!" The firework bombs go off and launch rockets in all directions. Everyone in the stadium begins panicking. People run screaming and confused in all directions. Colorful explosions detonate all over. Then the sprinkler systems come on. They spray down everyone on and near the field. The scoreboard blares it's siren, and Janna begins hucking down paint and powder bombs from the roof. The Warriors don't know what to do and just run around like headless chickens. It's absolute chaos! Everything is going great, from the sprinklers, to the black holes... "WAIT BLACK HOLES!?"

Vortexes open up on the field and begin sucking up The Warriors. "What the hell is happening?!" I yell in sheer terror. I turn my attention to the roof, and then I understand. Janna is sitting there with the book of rituals she bought from the Mewni market. She gives me a sheepish smile. "JANNA WHAT THE FUCK!"

"SORRY DUDE I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WOULD HAPPEN, I JUST WANTED TO PULL A GOOD PRANK!" she yells back

"TURN IT OFF JANNA!"

"I DON'T KNOW HOW!"

'Great, could this get any worse?' I think to myself. Apparently it can, because monsters start jumping out of portals and onto the field. 'Ok, time to find Star, she can fix this!" I scan the field looking for her. Then I spot her. She's helping someone getting sucked into a portal. I start running to her.

Star POV

"Don't worry I'll get you out of there!" I yell to a football player, as I pull on his arm trying to keep him from being sucked into the portal. "Star!" I hear Marcos voice yell from behind me. "Marco help me get this guy out of here!" He runs up to me, and grabs the guys other arm. We pull with all our might, and are able to pull him out. He runs away in a panicked frenzy.

"Marco what did you do?!" I yell at him.

"Janna did this! Just help us fix it!"

I sigh "You go take care of the monsters, and I'll try to shut these portals. He nods and runs to the nearest monster.

I pull out my wand and begin zapping portals shut. It's hard to focus though because of all the chaos, and water from the sprinklers. "Need a hand?" I hear someone ask.

I turn and see Janna. "Janna, come here!" She approaches me and I whisper a spell in her ear. Use that spell on the monsters, it'll make them small. She nods and goes to help Marco.

Marco POV

I run over to a giant squirrel monster and stomp on its tail. It falls and I give it another punch to the face. Another one runs at me from behind. I turn and kick it in the jaw. It falls to the ground. I repeat the process on other monsters for a few minutes before I hear Janna yell to me. "Marco I got this!" She yells as she zaps a monster with a spell. Woah, guess she learned that from Star. The monster she zapped shrinks until it's the size of a squirrel.

We keep going, and after about 10 minutes, the field is cleared. The chaos dies down, and soon it's just Star, Janna, and I on the field. We sit in silence for a moment. Then Star begins talking.

"You two are insane!" Star yells at us. "I'm sorry Star, we messed up big time," I say sheepishly. "Yeah sorry Star," says Janna.

She sighs. "It's ok guys." She casts a spell and the field magically looks good as new. "I'm going to teach you guys some manners soon," she says with a slight grin. We grin back. "Well let's get out of here and find Oskar," I say.

"Right here dudes!" We turn and see him approaching us.

"Dude you missed everything!" Janna says

"I heard about it. To bad I missed it, would've loved to wrestle a monster!" He responds laughing.

"So Oskar, did you get any of your pranks in?" I ask

He smirks "let's just say they're going to have an interesting bus ride home."

"BOOM!"

We all turn and see a giant powder bomb explosion down the street. I laugh. "Oskar, you're a legend"

Later at the Diaz household.

"Sooo... I'm sorry about tonight Star. Not only did I ruin the game, but your cheer to." We're standing in the hallway outside our rooms.

She smiles "Hey, fighting monsters and closing black holes is way more memorable than dancing."

I smile back "well I'm heading to bed Star. Night."

"Goodnight Marco. And I know that you've been staring at me." She walks in her room and closes her door. All I can do is blush.

So Janna learning that spell may or may not Impress Tom later on.
