Chapter 2: Princess Power

"Wake up! Star!", yelled Marco. Marco constantly shook Star, trying to wake her up.

"What is it Marco, I was having the best dream in my life?", she asked while waking up.

"You know what today is?", he asked.

"What?", she asked in a tired voice.

Macro then pulls out a plate of nachos, along with a cupcake saying "Happy Birthday Star". "Its your birthday, It's been a whole year since you've been on Earth!"

Star's eyes became filled with hearts, and she went over and hugged Marco. "Ohh thats so sweet of you Marco, to make me triangle food! By the way where are your parents?"

"Oh they went out of town for a couple of days. So I guess it's just you me and Glossayrck", he replied. "So you want to do anything special today?"

"Hmmmmmm?", said star while she was thinking. "I want to go someplace new." Star pondered for a few moments until she came with an idea. "Wait I know Marco!"

"I'm not so sure about…."

"The Mushroom Kingdom! My mom used to talk about that dimension a lot when I was younger. I want to go there, and don't worry Marco I heard nothing bad happens there, I promise."

"I guess so, but what about Glossaryrck?", he asked.

"Phhft! Don't worry about him he's a deep sleeper, just wait outside my room while I put on something." Star then pushed Marco outside her room. "Today's gonna be grand!"

"I just hope nothing bad happens", Marco said to himself.

Location: Mario and Luigi residence

It was a peaceful morning in the Mushroom Kingdom. The Toads were doing their daily routines, the red koopas were walking back and forth, the goombas were thinking about the meaning of life, and the lovely Princess Peach was getting ready for another day. And what about our beloved Mushroom Kingdom heroes (the brothers) Mario and Luigi. What are they doing? Welll…

"Mario!", yelled Luigi. "Get up! We got to see Peach! Mario get Up!"

Mario was tossing and turning in his bed thinking about their last adventure. "No don't do that Paper Bowser and B…" SLAP! Luigi slapped his big bro across the face, leaving a red handprint mark on his face. "Oww! What was that for?!"

"Get up big bro we have to go to the castle! Now! Its an emergency!"

"Well why didn't you say so!" Mario jumped out of the bed and dashed into the bathroom to take a quick shower. After the hot shower, he quickly grabbed his towel and ran into their room so that he can get dressed. After getting dressed he ran downstairs and started slurping leftover spaghetti. After finishing the spaghetti, Mario was ready to go. "I'm ready Luigi! Lets a go!"

"That was a fast."

"Come on! Peach needs us!" Mario and Luigi headed out of the door, until they were stopped by the sound of a young boy screaming and a young girl having the time of her life.

"What was? Ahhhhhhhhh!", yelled Luigi. Then the young boy and girl landed on Luigi as if he was a pillow. "Ouch!"

"Wow this dimension has mustached men as pillows!", said the girl. "I'm already loving it!"

"Well I'm not!", said the boy. "And I don't think this guy was a pillow. I think he's actually human."

"Oh course were human!", said Mario. "And you're killing my little brother!"

"Oh! I'm so sorry please forgive me Mr. ?"

"Mario. It's a me Mario. And that there is my little brother Luigi", he replied. "And your name?"

"My name is Star Butterfly, and Im a magical princess from the dimension Mewni. Oh and that there is my best friend on Earth, Marco. Say hi Marco.", she said.

"Hi", said Marco while getting off Luigi's back. "What are you two humans doing here in this dimension?"

"Well we live here", replied Luigi. "We used to live on Earth in Brooklyn New York but we've decided to live here. Also what is a princess like you doing here, shouldn't you be in your castle back in Mooni or whatever."

"Its called Mewni, and it's a long story. Anyways what's this dimension like?", asked Star. "It's my birthday and I wanted to explore a new dimension so I figured why not here. My mom said this place is beautiful."

"Well your mom is right! The Mushroom Kingdom is filled with wonders, but at the same time this place can be very dangerous", said Mario. "If you want you can come with us to visit the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. Im sure she'll be glad to meet you two. She's a very nice person."

Star's eyes widen. "Another princess! Well then what are we waiting for let's goooooooooo", she said with excitement. "See Marco today's gonna be the best birthday ever! What could possibly go…."

"Don't you dare finish that sentence!", snapped Luigi.

"But…"

"No don't you dare finish that sentence!" Suddenly he felt a slight punch on the shoulder delivered from Mario.

"It's the girl's birthday Luigi, don't be rude", he said.

"Sorry Mario. Sorry Star!"

"It's fine! Marco doesn't like it when I say that either."

Both Luigi and Marco shook their heads in disappointment. "It's gonna be one of those days again!", they said.

Location: Toad Town

"Welcome to Toad Town!", said Mario. "This town is home to the castle of Princess Peach."

Star was jumping with joy, and was waiting to meet Princess Peach. "I'm so excited but I have one question?", she asked.

"What is it?", asked Luigi.

"I don't see any toads, all I see are some funny yet cute looking mushroom people?"

Mario and Luigi chuckled for a bit. "Well, these mushroom people are called Toads here in the Mushroom Kingdom. They are no way related to the Toads on earth or possibly in Mewni."

"Well it doesn't matter!", she said as she picked up one of the nearby Toads. "As long as they're cute." Star was hugging the Toad tightly, who was trying to escape from her grasp.

"HHHHH….el….ppp mmmmm...ee", said the helpless Toad.

"Toad!", yelled the bros.

"Let him go Star, I think he's had enough love", said Marco.

Star then dropped the Toad looking sad. "Sorry Mr. Toad!"

"It's fine!", replied Toad as he was catching his breath. "Anyways Mario, Luigi! Professor E. Gadd needs to see you guys at his lab, here in Toad Town."

"But what about the Princess?", questioned Mario.

"No time! But we do need someone to look after the Princess, how about…." But before Toad could finish his sentance, Star raised her hand up high yelling. "Oh Me!" over and over again.

"Uhhh Star I dont…."

"Okay it's settled then. Mario Luigi and the kid will go see E. Gadd while the girl goes with me to see Peach."

"Star are you crazy!", yelled Marco. "I dont know whats going on, and I can't leave you alone. What if you get hurt!"

"Relax Marco, I'll be fine! Now come on Toad thing let's go see the princess!" Star raced toward the castle, while dragging Toad.

"Don't worry Marco! Im sure Star's in good hands…. unless Bowser shows up.", said Luigi.

"Bowser?!"

"It's a long story", replied Mario. "Lets just go!"

Location: Castle Gardens

"Finally I get a day without Toadsworth bossing me around", said Peach. "Its nice to have some peace and quiet for once. I just hope Bowser doesn't try and kidnap me." Peach went over and picked up a small flower and smelled it. "I hope Mario and Luigi are okay." Suddenly she heard Toad's loud, blasting voice. "Not again!"

"Princess!", he yelled.

"What is it Toad! Is Mario here already?", she asked.

"Nope! Mario is with Professor E. Gadd, but I did find someone else to watch over you! Meet Star Butterfly!", he said while pointing to Star who was in shock.

"Ohhhh My Gosh! Your So Pretty! Nice To Meet You!", greeted Star. "So you must be Princess Peach, I'm sooooo excited to meet you! Im a princess just like you!"

"I'll just be on my way now", said Toad as he started running like there was no tomorrow.

Peach who was looking confused, just shrugged her shoulders. "Well it's nice to meet you Star Butterfly", she said. "I haven't seen you around these parts before where do you come from, and what brings you here?"

"Ohhh I come from Mewni and today is my birthday and I decided to come here with my friend Marco who's hanging out with some weird mustached guys", she replied.

"Oh Mario and Luigi! Don't worry about your friend is safe with them. Also happy birthday Star!", said Peach.

"Awww thank you Peach!" Star then gave Peach a big old hug. "So what does a princess like you do here for fun?", she then asked.

Peach then gave a sad sigh. She really didn't want to disappoint Star on her Birthday, but what other choice did she have. "I'm Sorry to say Star but I really don't have much fun here."

"Why not, there's gotta be something fun, what about taking out monsters. You do have monsters here. Right?"

"I mean we do sometimes have kart racing and sports tournaments but other than that I usually don't go outside. I'm always at risk of getting kidnapped."

Star gave Peach a shocked look. "Kidnapped by who?"

"Bowser. Bowser is an evil turtle king, who wishes to take over the Mushroom Kingdom", she replied.

"Ahh that's awful!"

"I know! So he kidnaps me almost everyday and tries to make me become his queen. I keep telling him that I don't want to be his queen and that i'll never give him my Kingdom, but he refuses to stop. Only Mario can stop him, and I feel so bad for him because he has to put up with rescuing me. I feel like that's the reason why he doesn't get to spend much time with his brother. It's all my fault." Peach broke into tears, while putting her head in her hands.

"NO! It's not your fault!", yelled Star. "Its that mean Bowser's fault!", said Star.("He sounds like Tom") "What you need to do, is teach him a lesson." Star then grabbed out her magical wand and showed Peach it. "This here is my magical wand, I use it to fight monsters, don't you have some kind of magical wand, or item thingy?"

"Well I did defeat Bowser with a magical parasol, but I don't have it anymore.", she said.

"Anything else?"

"Well….. There is something…. But.."

"It's okay you can tell me anything!", she said.

"Well I do have my brooch. I don't use it often mainly because, one Toadsworth won't let me use it all willy nilly, and two I haven't unlocked its true power."

"Well then I know what I'm going to do on my birthday!", said Star. "Mark my words Peach I will help you unlock your true power, and I will also teach some tips on how to better defend yourself."

"You don't need to", said Peach.

"Nope I've made up my mind", she said. "Now let's get you out of that prissy dress. RADIANT SHADOW TRANSFORM!" Star pointed her magical wand toward Peach, and blasted her with a spell, that caused Peach's dress to turn into a white jacket, along with a green skirt dress underneath the jacket.

"Wow Star this is very kind of you!", said Peach as she admired her new attire.

"Hey Princesses have to stick together. Now come on let go find some monsters to beat up!"

"Uhh okay guess?", said an uneasy Peach. "I guess we can start on some goombas."

"Whats a goomba?", asked Star.

"You'll see", replied Peach.

Location: Central City: California

"Hey Tails I'm back from the bank", said Sonic.

"Did you get the chaos emerald?", asked Tails.

"Yep!", said Sonic as he tossed the emerald into the air. "It was too easy. Yet Eggman did say something about big plans!"

"Big plans, what kind, did he say anything suspicious?"

"Nope, just big plans."

Suddenly the phone ranged and Tails picked it up. "Hello, uh huh. Sonic it's for you!", he said.

Sonic reached over to get the phone. "Yello"

"HI Sonic! You remember what day it is today. Right!?", said the person on the phone.

"Who is this?"

"Its me silly Amy, and todays my birthday and I'm turning 13 today. Also you promised me a birthday date today. You didn't forget, DID YOU?!", yelled Amy.

Sonic froze up like a melted popsicle in a cold freezer. "Uhhhh no I didn't forget!", he said. "Yeah I'm going to take you to uhhhh Chao Le Chao at 12:00, how does that sound?!"

"Sounds wonderful Sonic Ill meet you soon. AND IF YOU DON'T COME OR YOU SHOW UP LATE YOU'RE GONNA REGRET IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG! Anyways love you bye."

Sonic hanged the phone up and sighed.

"You forgot didnt you?", asked Tails.

"But I don't want to, and besides Eggman is on the loose, I don't have time to go on a date."

"That is true, but I'll do some more research, while you go on a date with Amy." Tails then looked at Sonic who was sweating. "I'm starting to think it's not about Eggman, what's really going on Sonic. Your nervous aren't you?", he asked.

"No it's just that Amy, well she's sweet and all but she is so obsessive over me. And before you say I like her, I don't. I mean I like her as a friend but not as a girlfriend", he added.

"Then why do you run away from…." "Ding Dong", the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it", said Sonic.

Sonic opened the door to Tails's lab, which revealed a young boy with brownish curly hair, and wearing a navy blue jacket, along with a light red shirt. "Uhh hello?", said Sonic.

"Wow they weren't kidding, you are a talking blue hedgehog!", the boy said.

"Yep! Sonic's the name speeds my game whatcha got kid?"

"Well I have a favor to ask of you, people say you're like the hero of this town and I got a huge problem", said the boy.

"Go for it!", said Sonic.

"Well me and my sister were walking to a sweater store, don't ask, but when we got there a huge black eyed creature came out of the ground and snatched her and I don't know what to do! I was going to contact those Chaotix fellows but people said that they were terrible and that I should look for Sonic the Hedgehog."

Sonic gave the boy a strange look. "Black one eyed creature! Wait is this some kind of trick? Who are you, what's your name kid?", asked Sonic.

"Dipper, Dipper Pines", said the boy.

Sounds like Dark Matter to me. What does Dark Matter want with Mabel, What is E Gadd up to and what kind of trouble are Peach and Star gonna get into? Find out next time on Dragon Ball, wait wrong thing uhhh Rule of Darkness, anyways RazorRigs out.
