I didn't like the original ending, so I changed it. It's not over yet.

Hello, here's a random mystery riddle:

A man was found dead on a grassy hill. No one was seen around the area and there were no footprints. The only thing spotted with the man was a closed backpack. How did he die?

(The answer will be at the bottom.)

Sorry if this chapter is a bit shorter. But I hope you enjoy the new chapter and all forms of criticism is appreciated! [Author's Note at the bottom]

Chapter 3

Queen Moon Butterfly walked through the halls of the Mewni kingdom castle, giving a quick tour to her daughter, Star, who followed a few steps behind her. Tuning out her mother's babbling for the second time that day, Star looked around the parts of the castle they were walking past. So far, nothing had changed that much, save for the few new tapestries and banners hanging around.

"Mom?" Star said, cutting her mother off mid-sentence. The latter stopped talking and turned toward her daughter.

Star rubbed at one of her eyes. "I'm tired. I'm going to go to bed. Is my room still in the same spot?"

Confused, Moon nodded. "Oh yes, yes, Star. Want me to walk you there?" Moon asked, but Star was already walking away. She raised a hand with a dismissive wave.

"I'm fine. Bye, Mom."

Star exited the room, oblivious to her mother's worried gaze.

It was the next morning now, and Star hasn't left her room since. Moon tried calling her for breakfast, to have some excuse to get her out of her room, but it was no use. She wouldn't leave.

Star sat up in her bed, now dressed in her royal dress, and took something out from under her pillow. It was a photo of a boy and a girl laughing. They were in their swimsuits and seemed to be fighting playfully over a beach ball. Star ran her finger over the boy's face and sighed. Oh how she missed the happier times.

Star slipped the picture back into it's place under her pillow and walked over to her balcony. She took a deep breath, embracing the warm mewnian breeze. At least the weather wasn't depressing, raining would've made it a whole lot worse.

She didn't know how long she was standing there until a knock on her door snapped her out of it.

"Star? You have a visitor!"

Star turned her head slightly to project her voice better and answered, "Alright let them come in!"

She returned to her position before and waited. A few seconds passed before she heard the door open and close. The person behind her cleared their throat.

"Hey, Star."

Who..?

Star froze. It can't be… She turned her head slowly to face the visitor and standing there, red hoodie and all, was Marco Diaz. He had a sheepish grin on with his hand up slightly as a poor excuse they call a wave. He was sweating slightly, so it was easy to tell that he was nervous.

Her eyes widened slightly, but her shock was short lived as she was filled with joy to see her best friend again, but then again...

"Marco?!"

Marco braced himself for one of Star's tackle hugs, but was surprised that it never came. Confused he looked up and saw Star looking at the ground with a frown.

Hesitant, he took a step towards her. "...Star?"

She looked up at him for a split second before turning and walking back to her original spot. Any other person would think that she was being rude or stubborn, but Marco knew better.

"Marco... Why did you come here?" Her voice was unsteady and so sad sounding. Marco hated it. He took another step.

"What do you mean, Star? I came to see you, why wouldn't I?" Did she think that he didn't want to see her?

"You really need to go."

Marco stood there, baffled. "What? Star, I came here because I wanted to see you. You're my best friend and-"

"Leave." His mouth shut. Star was facing him now, but her head was down.

"But, Star-"

"I said leave." Her voice shook with raw emotion. She looked up at him, tears threatening to fall. "My mother brought me back for a reason. Toffee's still a threat, and you're just putting yourself in danger. Being here."

Marco shook his head. "I can fight. And with you by my side, we're an unstoppable te-"

"No, you don't get it. This is mine and the rest of Mewni's problem, not yours. You already got captured once, and I can't stand you getting hurt. He's coming after me, not you or anyone else. You need to understand that you play no part in this. So please, please go. Go back to Earth. Live your life without me."

Marco stared at her in a heartbroken shock. He didn't want Star, a sweet and innocent teen, to feel all of this. Star turned around again, showing no sign of changing her mind. Marco sighed.

Fine, Star. But I'm coming back for you. I won't let you do this alone.

With one last glance in her direction, Marco left the room.

Here this the answer to riddle up above:

The man was going skydiving, but the parachute didn't work.

Sorry for taking forever to upload the new chapter. I had these projects for school and they took up most of my time. I also kind of suffered a major writer's block. But on the bright side, summer/summer break is coming soon! So I will probably update more often. (Depends how busy I will be.) Also… There's gonna be a movie! *Squeals* Well, I don't know if it classifies as a movie but it's close to one. It has around 4 parts and should be premiering on July 15th. (Information from Wikia) Thank you, you guys, for reading so far!
