Bubble Tea

I decided I needed something cutesy to offset all the whatnot in the recent chapters. For those of you who don't know, bubble tea is tea with balls of tapioca in them.

Note: The rating on this story has been changed to T, so chill.

ZarrroWWolf: Lol well thank you

Acosta perez jose Ramiro: Oh absolutely. Star has so many bizarre looking friends that skin color is the farthest thing from her mind.

Star-of-gravity: Angst is my favorite thing in the world to write. You get so many emotions out of it. I will absolutely write that, but I just wanted to give something a little lighter because of the last chapter.

Thewookie1: Hi, I don't believe we've met. My name is Rebecca, and I am severe advocate for equality. I have written 18 stories (one of which is inside of a series of one shots for PnF) about racism, homophobia, child abuse, and depression. I write about touchy topics that other people don't mention. If you have read my stories, you would know that I don't throw in homosexuality to advocate for something, I truly ship Alfonsuson because they are adorable together. The last chapter was a reminder that Marco is half Mexican, and as proven by a couple reviews in the comments, racism towards Mexican people is still very alive. I write to make people aware and to get out my own frustrations about the matter. I can't do much myself to combat racism, but I can certainly raise awareness about it. There is NOTHING "random" about social justice, at least not in my stories. They aren't "suddenly" gay, I'm very open about shipping them. And nothing is out of context? It's a series of one shots that have nothing to do with each other. There is no continuation thus far in any of these. If you are going to be offended when I write about racism or homosexuality, I suggest you don't read my stories because I am very into writing about those things.

I don't own Star vs. the Forces of Evil.


GENERAL POV


"Okay Star, are you ready to try bubble tea?" Jackie asked with a sly smile.

Bouncing up and down on her toes, Star grabbed for the cup of peach tea bubble tea that Jackie had ordered for her and studied it intently. "Why is it called bubble tea?" she asked, glancing up at Jackie out of the corner of her eye as she attempted to get the rather large straw into her mouth and sit down at a table at the same time.

Jackie, who Star had started hanging out with while Marco was at karate class, only grinned and took a sip of her own as she sank easily into her seat. "Try it and find out."

Star shrugged and slurped at the beverage, only to leap back seconds later and nearly drop the cup. "What WAS that?!" she yelped, staring at the drink in horror. "There was something in there!"

Jackie nearly tumbled off of her chair in laughter as Star calmed down, looking suspiciously at her drink. "You…you should have seen your face…oh my gosh…."

Star pouted and sat back down in her seat, glaring at the tea. "Oh shush. Seriously, what were those things?"

Jackie giggled and grabbed a spoon, digging into her cup and pulling out several black round orbs from inside the drink. "They're called tapioca balls. They kind of look like bubbles, so that's why this is called bubble tea. I just didn't tell you because I knew your reaction would be awesome."

Star furrowed her eyebrows and plucked one of the tapioca balls from Jackie's spoon, tossing it in her mouth and chewing it slowly. Her eyes widened in surprise and a smile slid across her face. "Those are good!" she exclaimed, turning back to her own tea and drinking it earnestly.

Jackie grinned and dumped the rest of the tapioca back into her cup with a small splash. "I know, right?"

Star mock glowered at her. "You could have warned me beforehand though."

"That takes all the fun out of it," Jackie protested with a smile. "It's not very often earth stuff surprises you."

Star had to hand her that. "True," she mumbled around her straw. "Still, better watch out next time I have you try something from Mewni."

"What?"

Star ignored Jackie and glanced at the clock on the wall. "Oh, Marco's done with karate. See you later, Jackie. And thanks for the tea!"

She darted out the door with her cup clutched in her hand, leaving Jackie to vow that she would never, ever try something from Mewni.


Short, but I was looking at an advertisement for bubble tea and realized that Star probably would have no clue what it was. And I have yet to write about Jackie in this series, so yeah.

Reviews are awesome!
