It had been weeks after the probably weird incident (Star's breakup), but they let it slide to the past and kept continue moving forward. And by moving, I meant it literally, cause they were running from the also probably most dangerous creature man can imagine. A huge sandwich with its tongue sticking out
"WHAT IS THAT THING ?!" Marco exclaimed with panic attack spreading on his face
"That's probably a sandwi-"
"Forget I ask anything, just get rid of that thing !" He knew nothing will ever help with Star explaining something so obvious
Right then they were running in a forest, A Forest of Certain Death to be precise. How they got there is a mystery indeed, so let me the narrator with my name [unknown] explain everything. This took place a day before this incident
In a magical kingdom called Mewni, with its large huge scale castle and typical poor people surrounding it. Corruption are clearly shown from its view but people who called themselves Mewman always think "Appreciate what you have cause it can get a lot worse". But let's ditch the unneeded backstory nobody ever wish for, and continue focusing ourselves to the lovely couple in the castle, you know what they're called ? Say it with me !
["STARCO !"] I said that with some imaginary guests who unwillingly sit around me
Now after the intoduction, our OTP was sitting in Star's room while enjoying a pack of Burrito for each of them, biting them slowly, so slow that it may looks like someone press the slow-mo button on my workstation. Like usual they're bored not knowing what to do after that little activity of eating and to remove that boredom they started a conversation
"I feel like someone is talking about us" Star started it while sitting on her room's window
"When ? Where ?" Marco answered it with no excitement at all, he just lay back on her bed
"I don't know, like...right now, right here" Star continued her guess...oh I believe they're talking about me, honestly I'm flattered right now but
["I need you to look out of your window ! There's an evil of somesort outside !!"]
They're startled to my sudden voice and which...I shouldn't have said that. I guess we need to rewind time again
"OOOKKKAAAYYYY mysterious sound out of nowhere !" Star just accepted it like it's normal. You know, I like this girl very much
"But Star-" Marco obviously scared of my deep handsome voice
"NO BUT Marco !, we hear that deep handsome voice and we're doing it. NOW COME HERE and look to the window with me !" rather than an invitation or request, it was more like an order
"OKAY" he heard her and in mere few miliseconds he stood up and walk to Star's position. When he arrived, he stood there awstruck, not because of the girl's beauty but because The Forest of Certain Death is covered with blood, skeleton, and giant piles of corpses but also a large horde of zombies were heading towards them...ups sorry, wrong paper,sorry,so sorry
As I was saying, -but because The Forest of Certain Death looked more fascinating and beautiful, suddenly a glow shined from within, sun rised so high illuminating the green forest and rainbow show itself from above. Warnicorns and butterflies were flying everywhere
I know what you're thinking but please, deal with it
"What happened there ?" Marco tried to accept the weirdness that took place
"I don't know, but there's only one thing to do in this specifically type of situation. And you know it Marco" Star turned her head to face Diaz and place a very dignify serious face of her
Marco then realizes this wasn't the Star he used to know, she changed, changed for the better. She knew what dangerous might happen there and she didn't take the risky move she always do. Marco smiled to himself, proud for her bestie. Not only as her best friend but also as a friend of the princess or should he say the future queen of Mewni
"Yes Star, very well. Now then let's report this first to The Magical High Com-"
"Let's check it out !" aaaannnnddd it's gone. Marco really can't hope too much with this girl and he just let himself pulled with this one. Before he could say anything, she took his arm and drag him out of her room directly to the front gate
Star magically transform a small rock next to her to a large tough warnicorn "I'm alive ! I can move !" the rock was so happy. "Dear beautiful girl with your merciful spirit, ride me and I'll take you to wherever you ever wanted" it lower its back and let the girl and the boy ride it
"Good, now with my command. I need you to take us to our purposes" Star closed her eyes with guilt as if she ever felt condemn about something
"And what will it be ?" the rock now warnicorn asked the magical princess
"Take us to the The Forest of Certain Death !!"
"With pleasure !!" and they're off to whatever secret lays beneath the forest.
And soon they will learn about the whole secret of Mewni, a traitor within the kingdom, the true meaning of the Blood Moon, and an off land dimension where everything will turn your every knowledge upside-down. And then they had to take their heartbreaking decision to change everything but not until it was too late. Without anyone wish , an apocalypse took turn in Mewni dimension every so often. They had to go back in time and soon they'll realized the feeling they never had before. But it's way too little too late. The end is not always the good ending people wanted
...is what I wanted to make but I don't have time for that and I believe someone from the fanfic fandom have created something mush better than that. So enjoy the story where they met a large biting liking sandwich. Like usual, Star with her goofiness striked the sandwich right of the bat and ... it's not very effective. Star tried again with different spell but ... it's not very effective, like at all. Instead of making it weak, they made it more furious than ever and increases its desire to lick someone. Of course, they ran.
Remember kid, if some stranger wanted to lick you, just run okay. Been there, done that
But of course like usual, Marco takes the lead when the situation got worsen. He come up with an idea, instead of magically...magic that thing directly, they need to do it indirectly.
"Star, cast anything liquid and turn that food monster ... mushy, until it's uneatable" Marco explained it
"WHAT Marco ! It's not a monster, it's a ... not-monster. That would be rude to Tom, Buff-frog, and any other families, friends, and-"
"I get it ! Just do something, you understand what I meant, do you ?"
"Oh oh yeah yeah, sure" Star cast water around it and soon enough the sandwich died without honour and with disgrace. Within its final moment, the sandwich recalled its ruin terrible life, and he cursed for what it became. It wish is only to meet its daughter-sandwich one last time. And a moment later it dripped a slight cry from its eyes. And it was no more, it was gone, the life it lived had disappear
"Oh man that was great !" Star shouted
"I know right !" Marco agreed
"You are indeed my lord" the warnistone (my name for it) also agreed
"Oh yeah, you're done with your mission. Now go back in peace" Star hovered her wand over it and the warnistone started to change back to its original form
"NO, NOOO, I WANT TO LIVE MORE, I WANT TO LIIIIIIVVVEE-" and it's back to being a stone
"Okay then, ehhm Star"
"Yeah"
"We're in the middle of the forest , with its ... weird content"
"What do you mean weird ?"
"STAR !, LOOK AROUND YOU ! The forest suddenly turned into a beautiful scene paradise. We need to investigate this"
"Yeah, you're right. Let's have some fun !!" Star skipped to the forest enjoying her moment happiness
"Star, wait !!"
And there you go, happy ending like what everyone ever wanted. The mystery of the changing forest is there waiting to be discovered but I guess everyone just think, nah who cares about the main plot if you can get the romance plot !
Thanks to "Sturmzahn" for her/his nice words of encouragement, his review what drove me to make this short rushed story as the continuation of the previous ones. Your nice words will always have a place in my mind... until I forget about it. Just kidding, or am I
