Quest Buy
Inside the Diaz household, one brown haired girl was getting ready for the day. In the bathroom, Marcia was brushing her hair while lightly humming.
She looks down at her hair, "Hmmmm maybe I should get a new style, maybe some bangs, ooo or a layered cut."
Marcia finishes brushing her hair and opens a draw that had an organized stash of hair ties and bows, she reaches down for a black hair tie but then stops.
"Let's go for something different today," Marcia said
She goes to the opposite side of the draw and pulls out a red hair bow. She ties her hair up in a long ponytail with a lovely neat bow on top.
"Perfect," Marcia said
Marcia smiles in the mirror but stops and looks over when the side of her hair is blown up. She looks over to see Star using her magic to brush and blow dry her hair.
"Hey, why didn't you use your magic to help me blow dry my hair, it took me like 25 minutes, and you know the rules. Keep your stuff on your side of the counter."
Marcia picks up her minivac and vacuums some items on Star's side of the bathroom counter.
"All you have to do is ask Marcia and I'll use my wand to help you with your hair, ooooo I could even give you a new style," Star said excitedly.
Marcia thought on it but then remembered Star's track record on using her wand, "On second thought I'll pass, and is it really that hard to just be a little organized?"
"What I'm organized," Star said
Marcia raises an eyebrow and puts a hand on her hip before pointing over at Star's side of the bathroom. The whole side is a cluttered mess, and something might have just moved.
"I'm organized! My mess is here, and...well, that's pretty much my system," Star said
As Star goes to use her wand going to finish her hair, the wand crackles, and short circuits before powering down.
"Huh?" Star questioned
Her hairdryer and hairbrush fall to the floor.
"What's wrong with this thing? Hmm...Better check under the hood," Star said opening the wand's front compartment.
"Whoa I didn't know you could to that *GASP* and is your wand powered by a unicorn," Marcia said starry-eyed.
Star wand indeed have a unicorn in it running on a treadmill, well now the unicorn was wheezing and puffing it was sickly looking and trying not to fall over.
"He does not look good," Star said
"Oh, no," Star said
Star closes the wand and turns it around, revealing a power gauge that was half empty.
"Have you seen my charger? I know it's around here somewhere," Star said throwing stuff off the counter.
"Where did you last see it?" Marcia asked
"Ah! Where is that stupid thing?!" Star said freaking out.
"Star, calm down! GAH!" Marcia yelled out as she dodges a flail, "Star! Ah!" Now she just dodged a sword, "This is why you should have your things organized."
Marcia opens her cabinet and reveals well-organized and labeled shelves of bathroom items.
"See? With my system, nothing ever gets lost. Nothing's ever out of place," Marcia said
"This is serious!" Star said turning around she's about to shout something else out but then looks at Marcia's cabinet, "Hey I didn't know you wore makeup," Star said pointing in the cabinet.
Marcia quickly closes the cabinet and looks at Star with blank face, "I don't…...That's for special occasions. Hey, inst your wand dying."
Star immediately starts freaking out again she points to wand power gauge, "You have to recharge wands with magical energy. If it goes to skull, it'll be dead forever!" Star said as the hearts on her cheeks change into skulls.
"Can't you just buy another charger?" Marcia questioned
Star gasped in realization. The skulls on her cheeks change into light bulbs.
"Of course! They sell them at Quest Buy," Star said
"Quest Buy?" Marcia asked
Star puts her wand in her mouth and pulls out the dimensional scissors. She grabs Marcia and drags her through it.
Star and Marcia exit the other side of the portal and land in a giant store.
"Welcome to Quest Buy!" Star said
"Wow it's big," Marcia said looking around.
The store had a large maze-like layout with endless rows of merchandise.
"Attention, Quest Buy shoppers. We have a red-ticket special. 25% off of all things that murder," The PA system said
Marcia gazed around until something is shoved in her face. A Quest Buy employee was holding a tray of vials towards her.
"Sample? Either take a sample or leave a sample. Up to you."
"Gross," Marcia said walking around the guy.
Star looks at her wand and the gauge drops to two bars of power.
"We gotta hurry! You can talk to the creepy salesman later, Marcia!" Star said grabbing her friend.
As the two walked around Marcia looked at what was on the shelves, "Gnome repellent? Extra-strength ghost heads? How do you find anything in this place?"
"It only looks messy. Legend says that the founders of Quest Buy had an ancient cryptic system of symbols they used to organize the store. Some have gone mad trying to decipher it!" Star said
"I finally got it!" A little goblin screamed out pointing, "Housewares is that way! HAHAHAHAH!" He runs in the direction he pointed at and ran straight into a wall.
"If there's a system here, I'm gonna use it to find the best route to the charger department," Marcia said
"Lucky for you, I myself know my way around here pretty well myself, if I do say so myself. I think I just said too many myself's," Star said
Star and Marcia start searching for the charger section and were now running down a hallway trying to find the section fast. They came upon a Sphinx doorway.
"Halt! Those who wish to pass my lair, answer my riddles if you dare! I do not breathe…"
"A leg!" Star said looking down at Marcia's phone.
"...but I run…"
"A leg," Star said
"...and jump…"
"A leg!" Star said getting annoyed.
"...and—Wait. How could you possibly know that?" The Sphinx asked
"The internet," Star said
"Internet?" The Sphinx questioned
"...You should look it up. Now come on, come on, open up!" Star said
The Sphinx sighs and opens the door in her chest allowing Star and Marcia to run through.
"Thank you!" Star called out.
The two friends kept running.
"Okay, should be right through here!" Star said
Star and Marcia turn a corner and there where they started.
"Gnome repellent? Extra-strength ghost heads? We're right back where we started! How is this even possible?" Marcia said
"Let's see. We made a right turn, then another right turn, then another right turn, then another right turn. Ugh! This makes no sense!" Star said
"Well, well, well. Looks like Quest Buy really does have everything a monster could want!"
"Ludo?!" Star said turning around.
"Now hand over that wand, or there's going to be a big cleanup on aisle...Uh, what aisle is this?" Ludo said
"That's not my department," The Sloth Clerk said before walking away.
"Rainbow Avalanche!" Star said
Star's wand spurts out a trickle of rainbow-colored liquid.
"Uhhh, just give me a sec here," Star shakes her wand, "Uh... Narwhal Nightmare!"
The wand produces a tiny narwhal that flops around on the floor.
""Aww poor thing," Marcia said picking up the tiny Narwhal.
"Get me that wand!" Ludo yelled
The monsters advance on Star and Marcia, who back into a wall of boxes of "Big Boy Diapers".
"Big Boy Diaper Blast!" Star said
She and Marcia pick up the boxes of diapers and throw them at the monsters.
Star tosses a box at the giraffe minion and knocks him backward. Marcia does the same to Bearicorn. This created an opening for the two girls and they ran through.
"Oh, no! This doesn't look familiar at all!" Star said
"You know what? We tried this your way. Now we're gonna try this the organized way," Marcia looks at the store's map, "Hmm... I think I got it. That elevator will take us right to the charger department! Come on!"
Star and Marcia run into an elevator and take it to the upper floors just as Ludo and his minions enter the adjacent elevator.
Marcia and Star continue upwards in their elevator and Star sees a neon sign that read "WAND CHARGERS".
"There it is! Don't worry, little wand. We're almost there," Star said
"Told ya I'd get us there," Marcia said
The two friends smile but then the power in the elevator suddenly goes out, leaving Star and Marcia in pitch-black darkness.
"We stopped," Star said
Marcia and Star pull apart the elevator doors and climb out of the elevator onto the floor they're currently on. Star ends up bumping her head on a sign as they crawl out.
"Ow," Star said
"Out of service," Marcia read
A heavily-bandaged sloth clerk stands next to the elevator.
"Sorry, folks, this elevator's no longer in service. Welcome to the booby trap department. Please step carefully-"
The sloth clerk didn't get to finish his sentence as he's caught in an over-sized mousetrap.
Star and Marcia let a gasp as they go to help the sloth clerk out
"Don't help me up! I get worker's comp for this! Hahaha!"
The second elevator opens and revealing a giant slug. The slug man squeezes out of the elevator revealing a squished Ludo and his minions.
"Get 'em!" Ludo said
"AHHHH!" Marcia and Star screamed before running away.
Ludo's minions give chase, trampling over the already injured sloth clerk.
Sloth clerk Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.
As Star and Marcia run down a hallway, Star stops Marcia and pulls her back.
"Look out!" Star said
An ax swings past them on a pendulum.
"Blades of Doom!" Star said pointing forward.
Star and Marcia skillfully dodge the axes and continue running. Lucky for them Ludo's minions aren't as skilled as them.
Star and Marcia arrive in a room of skeleton statues with blowguns.
"Massacre darts!" Star said
Star and Marcia dash past the statues and avoid the darts that the statues shot at them.
"A hallway with walls that smash together periodically!" Star said
"What is with this store!" Marcia said
Star and Marcia dodge the smashing walls finally getting out of the dangerous room.
"We made it!" Marcia said
Star and Marcia finally reach the wand charger department. As they walk into the department they hundreds of different chargers.
"There's so many chargers! We'll never find the right one in time!" Star said
"Oh, yes, we will. Because this time, we're gonna get organized. I'll figure this out. You go hold off the monsters," Marcia said
"Right!" Star said
Star dashes back to the aisles while Marcia walks up to the wall looking for the charger. She started with the lower shelves but had to work her way up.
"I'm gonna need a ladder," Marcia said
She spotted a ladder and walked up to it grabbing it. As she pulled it away she heard a scream and a thud. She winced as she saw a sloth clerk lying on his back, not realizing that he was on the ladder when she pulled it away.
"Sorry," Marcia said
She propped the ladder up and searched for the charger.
"Aha!" Marcia said
"Marcia, where are you?!" Star yelled out.
"I found the charger! It took me a while, but once I figured out they were using the metric system-" Marcia said
"Good job, Marcia! Just give me the cock-a-doodie charger!" Star said
Marcia pulls out the charger and drops it and it lands in Star's hand.
"Yes! I got it!" Star said
As she said that Ludo snatches away Star's wand.
"Yes! I got it! Finally, evil is in the palm of my hand! Princess Blast Your Face Off!" Ludo said
Ludo points the wand at Star's face, it expels out a small puff of smoke in the shape of a skull.
"Spinning Dizzy Death Blast! Um, uh... Kapow!" Ludo shakes the wand, "What's wrong with this thing?!"
Star kicks Ludo away into a shelf and grabs her wand.
"Hahahahaha!" Star laughed as she plugged her charger into the wand.
The wands power gauge fills up, the front compartment opens, revealing the wand-powering unicorn is now healthy. It neighs happily and runs at full gallop on the treadmill.
"Haha, So cute," Star said closing the front compartment, "Fantastic Exit Beam!"
Star fires a beam that reads "EXIT" and pushes her and Marcia away toward the store's exit.
"You gonna pay for that charger, ma'am?" The sloth clerk asked
"Nah. My arch-nemesis will cover it. He kinda owes me," Star said
"Um, you do realize that we could just walk?" Marcia said
"I know," Star said
? ﾟﾌﾟ? ﾟﾌﾟ? ﾟﾌﾟ? ﾟﾌﾟ? ﾟﾌﾟ? ﾟﾌﾟ? ﾟﾌﾟ? ﾟﾌﾟ? ﾟﾌﾟ? ﾟﾌﾟ? ﾟﾌﾟ?
A portal opens up in Marcia's and Star's bathroom and the two girls step out.
"We're back. You see, Star, it pays to be organized. If you just listened to me-" Marcia said
"Shut it," Star said shushing Marcia and staring at something.
"On Earth, it's rude to tell people to shut it," Marcia said
"Yeah-yeah-yeah, that's rude on Mewni too. Looooook," Star said pointing.
Marcia looks over to see her minivac floating with a pink aura around it.
"My minivac!" Marcia said
"It's possessed. I'm gonna touch it," Star said
"No-no-no, don't touch it. Use this," Marcia said holding up a plunger,
Star ignores Marcia and gently grabs the minivac out of the air.
"Ugh, she's touching it," Marcia said holding the plunger close to her like a weapon.
Star opens the minivac and pulls out her first charger.
"Eh, just my charger. *GASP* My charger!?" Star said
"Uh...whoops. I must have accidentally sucked it up when I was cleaning. Sorry. Guess you have two now," Marcia said
"Nah," Star said closing the minivac up, "You keep it. I've got my wand. You've got a magic floating vacuum cleaner. Now we're both cool." Star said handing the minivac to Marcia.
Marcia drops the plunger and takes the minivac. Marcia smiles as she holds the glowing cleaning equipment.
"Awesome," Marcia said
