Matchmaker
Today was a weekday which means Marcia and Star had school. The two friends were walking into school as Star casually tossed her wand up and down.
"I like red, I like hoodies. So I bought a dozen of them, simple as that," Marcia said
A large group of students and the school janitor pass by Star and Marcia, saying hello to Star while only a few say hello to Marcia who just gives a simple wave.
"Hi, new friends! Hi! Everyone's so cool here, Marcia. It makes me wish my parents had tossed me out of the castle years ago," Star said
"There okay but you haven't even met the coolest guys," Marcia said leading Star over to two guys.
"Alfonzo and Ferguson," Marcia said pointing at the two boys.
"Quick, here she comes!" Alfonzo said as a blonde haired girl approached the two boys.
Ferguson lifts up his shirt to reveal a face drawn on his stomach. The girl walks past and looks down at Ferguson's stomach with a repulsed face. Ferguson moves his stomach to make it look like it's talking.
"Hey, hey. Are those books? Where are you going with those books? Do you like to read-"
*SLAP*
*SLAP*
Ferguson didn't get to finish his sentence because the girl slaps his face and then his stomach's face before walking away.
"Oh, dear," Alfonzo said
Marcia gets the same grossed out look on her face, "They're usually cooler."
"Hmmm, I need to fix Ferguson up," Star said
"No," Marica simply said.
"Hey, it's that magic girl!" A blonde haired boy said looking at Star. He turned to look at Marcia and he slightly froze, "Uh H-Hey Marcia," The boy said waving Marcia.
"Oh hey Justin," Marcia said walking past Justin and giving him simple wave without looking,
"*GASP* I need to fix you up," Star said
"What?" Marcia said raising an eyebrow and tilting her head.
"You and Justin he has a crush on you," Star said pointing behind Marcia.
Marica looks back behind her to see Justin still standing there waving.
"Nah, he's just friendly," Marcia said
"Oh, Marcia so naive," Star said grabbing her friend's shoulder.
Star and Marcia hear rolling wheels and look left. They see Jackie Lynn Thomas on her skateboard she does a kickflip on her skateboard and continues to roll through the halls.
"Jackie!" Marica said raising her hand.
"Marcia!" Jackie said high-fiving the girl, "Hey, Star Butterfly!" Jackie said as she continued to skate by.
"Oh, come on Justin likes you I can set you up. I'm almost as good at matchmaking as I am with magic," Star said
Star accidentally lets out a blast of magic which almost hits Marcia's face but she quickly ducked out of the way. She turns around to see a locker on fire. Marcia crosses her arms and looks at Star.
"Really," Marica said
It was time for class so Str and Marica made their way their classroom. Star started to draw on her desk.
"Look-look-look-look-look! It's my name! It's my name! With a star inside a butterfly and two hearts, and a spider," Star said
Her drawing was interrupted by a paper being slammed onto her desk.
Star looks up to see Miss Skullnick with a monstrously annoyed face. She continues to hand out test papers to the rest of the class the scowl never leaving her face.
"As you can see, class, most of you have done a pathetic job," Miss Skullnick said
"Not me! I got an 'F' for 'fantastic'!" Star said
"I hate to break it to ya Star, but that's an 'F' for 'fail," Marcia said
"Huh?" Star questioned looking down at her test.
"What? You don't have tests on Mewni?" Marcia asked
"Uh...So what grade did you get?" Star asked
"Only the best grade you can get: A-plus with a smiley face, although I think this is the closest Miss Skullnick has come to smiling," Marcia said holding up her paper.
"You're so smart Marcia," Justin said sitting next to her.
The boy's comment went ignored as the two girls continued to talk.
"Ooh...I want the best one too!" Star said standing up.
Star walks up to Miss Skullnick which causes Marica to freak out and reach for her friend.
"Wait, don't!" Marica said
Star ignores her friend's pleas and continues up to Miss Skullnick who was writing on the chalkboard.
"Oh, Miss Skullnick!" Star said in a sing-song voice.
Miss Skullnick crushes the chalk in her hand and turns to Star with a growl.
"Hey, Skullzy! Can you please do me a teeny favor and turn my 'F' into an 'A?" Star said
"You're whining about a lousy grade? I finally got a guy with a boat, and he left me at the dock!" Miss Skullnick screamed
"The dock?" Star questioned
"The dock isn't the important part!" Miss Skullnick yelled
Star gets a thoughtful look and starts to nibble on her wand.
"I guess I'm doomed to dry land," Miss Skullnick said
"I got it! I'll cast a spell to get you the perfect guy, and you can give me the perfect grade," Star said
"What?!" Miss Skullnick screamed,
"Oh no," Marica said slapping her forehead.
"Man Magnet…"
"Wait!" Miss Skullnick screamed
"...Love Storm!" Star yelled shooting magic at Miss Skullnick.
After a flash of light, Miss Skullnick was transformed into a hideous green-skinned troll.
The whole class gasped seeing the transformation.
"Hmm I think it's an improvement," Marcia said, "Star what happened?"
"I-I think I turned her into a troll," Star said
"Star Butterfly rules!"
The class starts cheering as Miss Skullnick finally takes in her appearance.
"Ahhhhhhhh! I'm hideous!" Miss Skullnick screamed
"Quick, change her back before she gives us more homework!" Marica yelled
"Oh, okay, yeah, right!" Star gives off a nervous laugh and points her wand at Miss Skullnick, "Okay, yeah... Lightning Change Back!"
Instead of changing Miss Skullnick back a portal appears and zaps Marcia, Star, and Miss Skullnick, and they vanish.
Star, Marcia, and Miss Skullnick magically reappear in Star's bedroom. Skullnick starts to scream and runs around the room freaking out.
"Huh. Where are we?" Star questioned
"You just zapped us back to the house," Marcia said
"Ohhhh...I wish I knew how I did that. It could really come in handy if I don't feel like using my legs," Star said
"Yeah, I think you used lighting change something," Marcia said
Skullnick appears again screaming interrupting the girl's conversation.
"We've gotta do something about her," Marcia said
Thinking quickly and using the resources that they had the girls manage to grab Miss Skullnick and tie her up to a chair. Although the teach troll started crying buckets of tears which started to flood the room.
"Please don't cry, Miss Skullnick," Star said
"Star, we can't keep stalling. You're gonna have to call your mom. She'll know how to reverse the spell," Marcia said
"*GASP* No! I can't ask for help! If my parents find out about this, they're gonna send me to…"
*THUNDER STRIKE*
"-St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses! It's a terrible, horrible place, and no one who goes there ever comes out the same! AHHHHHHHHH!" Star screamed
Star screamed for a few more moments before she stopped.
"Is it all out yet?" Star asked
"Almost. AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Okay, I'm done," Star said
"Look, Star, you just need to get the information without letting her know what's going on. You know, dance around the truth," Marcia said
"I'm a great dancer!" Star said
Star dances over to a curtain and pulls a rope opening the curtain to reveal her interdimensional mirror.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall call Mom," Star said
"Calling Tom," The mirror said
"W-W-W-W-W-" Star said waving her arms around.
"Star!" Tom said as his face appeared.
"No. No," Star said pointing at the mirror.
"W-Wait! You're here, I'm here-" Tom said
"I said 'call Mom', not Tom," Star said she reached for a button on the mirror making the demon boy yell out.
"No! Star! DON'T HANG UP!" Tom yelled
Star presses a button on the mirror, and Tom's image vanishes.
"Who was that?" Marica questioned
"Demon ex-boyfriend Tom, I really gotta delete him off my mirror," Star said
The mirror changes and Star's mom appears.
"Oh, Star, darling, what a pleasant surprise!" QB said
"So, Mom...let's just say that someone accidentally turned someone into a troll with the wand. Not that I would do that, no, because that would be completely irresponsible-"
*CRASH*
Star's injured by a loud crash and looks over to see a Miss Skullnick shaped hole with Marcia standing at its entrance.
"Star, what is going on?!" QB said
Star quickly closes the curtains with a panicked look, "Gotta go, bye! What happened?!"
"She jumped out the window!" Marica yelled before jumping out the hole and running after Miss Skullnick.
Miss Skullnick, still tied to a chair, runs across the house yard crying and screaming. Marcia runs as fast as she can and tackles her to the ground along with Star.
"Wow, good job, Marcia," Star said
""Wow, good job, Marcia," A voice said mockingly.
Star and Marica look up to see Ludo and his monsters.
"Ludo! What are you doing here?" Star said
"Catching you at your most distracted!" Ludo said
"What? I have been way more distracted than this," Star said
"Yeah, it's true," Marcia said
"I don't know. You seem...pretty distracted," Ludo said
"Nah, not really," Star said
"Oh, well...What's that over there?!" Ludo yelled pointing randomly somewhere.
"What?! Where?!" Star yelled looking at where Ludo was pointing.
"Get her!" Ludo yelled
The monster all roar at the two girls as Marcia and Star scream.
Marcia and Star run away as the monsters chase after them, trampling over Miss Skullnick in the process. Ludo climbs up his giraffe minion's neck and jumps onto the back of a flying bat creature as the monsters approach Star and Marica.
"Dagger Crystal Heart Attack!" Star yelled waving her wand, "Feel the love!"
The monsters fly backward with hearts stuck in their bodies clearly feeling the sting of the love attack. Marcia faces down Bearicorn, Big Chicken, and Three-eyed Potato Baby.
"I'm obligated to warn you-" Marcia pulls out a white band and ties it around her head, "-I'm a green belt. With a stripe."
The monsters fake being scared and then giggle at the girl making her angry. Marcia picks up a rake and spins it around.
"HIYA!" Marcia yelled smacking Bearicorn in the face. She sweeps Three-eyed Potato Baby's legs and strikes his face with the rake end. Big Chicken attacks Marcia from behind and tries to peck at her but she uses the rake to block the continuous pecking.
"Ow! Hey! Ow, ow! Owww!" Marcia yelled
Marcia pushes Big Chicken back and kicks him in the beak knocking him over. Another monster appears behind Marcia and cracks his knuckles smirking. Over with Star, Buff Frog throws a punch at her but she dodges and bites Buff Frog's arm.
"AHHHHHH!"
A crocodile minion snaps its jaws at Star, but misses, and smacks her with his tail sending Star flying. As Star flies backward, she spins around and strikes a three-eyed minion with her wand, making a large bump on his head.
Back to Marcia. The monster had put her in a headlock and was throwing punches in her stomach.
"Ow! Oww!" Marcia yelled out.
"Rainbow Blast!"
Star blasts the monster on Marcia with a rainbow beam, making him let go of her and knocks him into Miss Skullnick knocking them both down.
"Ohhh…"
"Uhhh…"
Emmitt and Miss Skullnick look at each other with hearts in their eyes.
"Narwhal Blast! Narwhal Blast!" Star shouted blasting narwhals.
"YEAH, NARWHALS!" Marcia cheered
Star looks at Emmitt, the monster, and Miss Skullnick seeing their love-struck looks, "Awww...Narwhal Blast…" Star smiles at Emmitt and Miss Skullnick while blasting Deer Beard without looking.
"Hey, Marcia, you can handle this for a minute on your own, right?" Star asked
"Oh, yeah. No problem," Marcia said
"Cool, thanks!" Star said running off.
Marica turns around to see all of Ludo's monsters.
"Wait...ahhhhhhh!" Marcia yelled running from the monsters.
The monsters chase Marcia around the yard until she spots the rake she was using as a weapon earlier. She grabs it and spins it around knocking over two monsters. The rest stop and look at the girl who now had a smirk on her.
"Now I'm going to show you why you shouldn't mess with a lady," Marica said, "YAAHHHH!"
All of the monster scream and run as Marica chased them down with her weapon.
While this was happening Miss Skullnick was trying to climb over a fence.
"Oh, Miss Skullnick!" Star said in a sing-song voice.
"What?" Miss Skullnick said as she stopped mid fence climb.
"See that monster over there?" Star said, "He thinks you're cute."
"Really? Ooh! What should I do?" Miss Skullnick said excitedly
"Wait right here," Star said
Star runs over it Marica who's about to hit Emmitt over the head with her rake.
"Revenge is mine," Marcia said
But Marica misses when Star pulls the monster away.
"Awww my revenge," Marica said
"Hey there, monster guy. See that troll over there?" Star said pointing at Miss Skullnick.
Emmitt said something excitedly but it all comes out as babbled nonsense. He runs up to Miss Skullnick as Star watches, while in the background Marica is chasing monsters around with a smile on her face and for some reason, she now has a golf club instead of a rake.
"Hahaha! I haven't had this much fun in days," Marcia laughed
"Get away from hr! Get away from her!" Ludo screamed
"Hey, guys! I think you forgot something," Star said
Everyone stops running and turns to look a Star. Her wand glows and she points it at the group as Marcia dives away.
"Turbo Nuclear Butterfly Blast!"
"Not again!" Ludo screamed
A loud explosion covers the yard in rainbow light and butterflies. Star, looks around surprised, surrounded by unconscious monsters and small fires, as Ludo groans ni a tree and then falls out of it.
"Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!" Star said
Marcia walks over to Star patting her clothes she's got a little soot on her and a few butterflies.
"You okay there Marica?" Star asked
"A little dirty but I'm fine," Marica said
Ludo gets up and goes to one of his minions and starts shaking him.
"Get up!" Ludo yelled
"Told you I wasn't distract-Wait, did I just kill that guy?" Star asked
"No, he's not dead. He's probably just bleeding internally and being a total baby about it!" Ludo screamed as he kicked the monster in the head, "Stupid wuss…" He pulls out some scissors and opens a dimensional portal. "Get up, you dipsticks!"
Ludo's monsters all stand up, groaning in pain and covered in bruises, and shuffle toward the portal. They all go thru the portal drafted.
Marcia and Star look her talking and look over to see Miss Skullnick draped over the monster Emmitt.
"Ooh, you're so muscly…" Miss Skullnick said
"I'm gonna need to bleach my eyeballs after this," Marcia said
"Ooh!" Star gushed out, "So... now that I hooked you up, how about that A?"
"Honey, please! I'd give you an A-plus if I was still a teacher. I'm setting sail with Captain Triceps here. Hehe," Miss Skullnick said
"Did she just giggle I didn't know Miss Skullnick was capable of that," Marcia whispered.
"What about my A?!" Star said
"Try studying," Miss Skullnick said as she and Emmitt walked away.
Marcia imitated a sad trombone noise as she walked over to Star, "Don't worry Star I'll help you study, what are friends for."
"Thanks Marcia," Star said
The next day Marcia and Star were back in class minus one Miss Skullnick.
"So anyway, long story short, Skullnick ran off with this weird man-bull guy thing to another dimension, and now she is gone forever," Star said
The class is silent for a second looking over at Miss Skullnick empty desk.
"Star Butterfly rules!" Justin said as the class cheered.
Star smiles and gives Marica a friendly push, or hard shove into Justin, "I couldn't have done it without my friend Marcia. Isn't she awesome Justin?" Star said with a sly smile.
"U-U-Uhh yeah awesome," Justin said a blush and smile came to her face.
"Awesome girl," Jackie said giving Marcia a high-five.
"Thanks, guys but I really didn't do-"
Before Marica could finish her sentence there's a bright light and scream. A dimensional portal opens over Miss Skullnick's desk, and Miss Skullnick falls through, smashing the desk into pieces.
The whole class gasps seeing the return of their least favorite teacher.
"Oh no," Marcia said smacking her forehead.
"He dumped me. I think. I don't know. I couldn't understand a word he was saying!" Miss Skullnick screamed
"Welcome back, Skullzers," Star said
"Get ready for the worst pop quiz of your lives!" Miss Skullnick screamed
The whole class groans and makes their way back to their seats some of them giving Marica glares as said girl just glares back. Marcia makes her way back to her seat and groans in frustration.
"Sorry, Marcia. I didn't mean to embarrass you," Star said
Marica looks up with Star with a small smile, "It's okay Star, I know you meant well."
"But did you see the way Justin looked at you, he thinks you're totally awesome no matter what," Star pointing over to the boy who was still smiling at Marcia. Ha, then that means I'm even better at matchmaking than I am with magic!" Star said waving around her wand, which turned out to be a bad idea.
Star accidentally blasts Marcia's desk with magic making the girl fall to the floor, as her desk turned into a butterfly which proceeds to fly away.
"Sorry," Star said
"You can sit next to me Marcia!" Justin said a little too loudly.
Marcia gets up and sits in the empty desk next to Justin, "Thanks, Justin," Marica said smiling at the boy.
The boy blushes and smiles back.
"Ultimate matchmaker," Star said under her breath with a large smile.
