Freeze Day

Marcia was asleep in her bed having a wonderful dream. Suddenly she felt a tugging on her leg.

"No….don't touch my lasagna," Marcia said still asleep.

There was more tugging before Marcia was yanked out of her bed jolting her awake.

"W-What?! What's happening?!" Marcia said sitting up.

Marcia was surrounded by laser puppies that were tugging at her blanket.

"What time is it?" Marcia questioned

Marcia looked over at her clock to see it blinking 12:00.

"What!" Marcia yelled

She ran over to her clock to see the clock was unplugged and a laser puppy tied up in its cord.

"AH!" Marcia yelled

She ran over to her dresser and picked up her cellphone to check the time. Her eyes widened when she saw the time.

"I'm late!" Marcia yelled running out of her room and into the bathroom followed by the laser puppies. Marcia kicks open the bathroom and falls forward tripping on a laser puppy.

"Out of the way! I overslept! I'm gonna be late!" Marcia yelled

Marcia starts rummaging through things on a nearby shelf. She accidentally brushes her teeth with a hairbrush and lets out a choke as she spits out some hair.

"Ah! Where's my hoodie?!" Marcia yelled

"Whoa, chill, Marcia. We can still get to school by first period," Star said

Marcia puts her red hoodie on backwards and pulls the hood off her face.

"This isn't about learning! This is about winning a bet! I bet Janna that if I could beat her to school for a whole semester than she would have to stop breaking into my locker and stealing my stuff. I've lost so many lunches that way," Marcia said

"Haha that's Janna for ya," Star said

"And today is the last day of the bet. Janna always get to school at 7:56 because she always stops to hang out at that occult store on her way to school, so I need to be there at 7:55 the latest," Marcia said

Marcia went to pick up her toothbrush but it's zapped out of her hand by a laser puppy, "Hey! Down, boy! Bad laser puppy!" Marcia looks up at the clock, "It's 7:54! I can't make it! Can't you just uh, uh, magically stop time or something?" Marcia asked Star.

"Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Easy Peasy Time Freezie," Star said

Star's wand flashes and a magic ticking clock effect appears over Star and Marcia. The laser puppies start slowing down and then freeze. Marcia touches one of the laser puppies lasers.

"Ow! Do you know what you just did?" Marcia asked

"Uh...froze time?" Star questioned

"You froze time! Now I can get to school and beat Janna and win that bet! Hurry!" Marcia said

"School?" Star grabs Marcia, "But it's a ~freeze day~!"

Marcia's eyes widen with realization and she smiles with excitement.

Montage Time

Marcia and Star run out of the house laughing and giggling. In the front of the house, the poor mailman was time-frozen as a laser puppy chases him. The two ran down the street as Star uses her magic to give an infant a mustache.

The two run around as Star gives everyone in the area mustaches. Marcia laughs as she spots Jeremy walking she runs over and ties his shoes then sticks his finger up his nose, as Star laughed and snapped some pictures. Later, Star and Marcia find a birthday party and smiling as they ate cake. Star opens her mouth and reveals has a lit candle on her tongue making the two girls laugh.

The two girls arrive at school they spot a bully giving a kid a wedgie. Marcia frees the kid from the wedgie, and Star gives the bully his own wedgie.

"Who's hungry?" Marcia asked

"I am!" Star said

Star and Marcia were now having a picnic on top of a car in the middle of a freeway.

Star and Marcia laugh when they find Lugo emerging from a dimensional portal, Star switches his skull crown with her cactus headband. Marcia takes a picture of Ludo wearing the cactus headband.

Montage Over

"Hahaha, that was the funnest sixty hours of my life!" Marcia said

"Oh, hey, there's frozen, Janna!" Star said pointing.

"I better get into optimal rub in Janna's face that she lost position," Marcia said taking out her phone, "I'm gonna need a picture of her face when she loses. Okay, ready Star."

"Okay. Easy Peasy Time Unfreezie!" Star said waving her wand.

Star and Marcia stand around waiting for something to happen but nothing does. Time remains frozen.

"Huh. Easy Peasy Time Unfreezie!" Star said waving her wand harder.

But still nothing happens and everything was still frozen.

"Ooh," Star said worriedly.

"Star. What's going on?" Marcia asked just as worried.

Marcia approaches Star, who has a frozen with a smile on her face.

"Star?! Star!" Marcia shakes Star, "Not you too!"

"Ha-ha! I'm just messin' with ya!" Star said

"Ugh….okay that was good, but don't do that again," Marcia said

Marcia and Star rush home, they run into Star's room where she pulls out her Magic Instruction Book out from under her bed.

"Okay, Magic Instruction Book, instruct me," Star said opening her book.

As she flips a page she finds Glossaryck, who was frozen.

"Oh, no, Glossaryck is frozen too," Star said

"Good. I never liked that guy. "Scrape the sides", buddy," Marcia said flicking Glossaryck away.

"Okay, let's see, let's see. What to do if you make a dimension explode, what to do if you delete gravity...Ooh," Star read

"Don't get any ideas," Marcia said

"Heh-heh. Sorry. Ah! What to do if you freeze time. We can move time forward if we go to the Plains of Time and push the Wheel of Progress," Star read

"Let's go then," Marcia said

Star uses her dimensional scissors to open a portal to the Plains of Time. The two girls step through the portal arriving at their destination.

"Whoa," Marcia said looking around.

The surrounding landscape is covered in sand and melting clocks. There was a river that was frozen along with a frozen waterfall, a giant hourglass, and a cuckoo clock.

"This is definitely one of the weirder places we've been to," Marcia said

"Weirder than that dimension of cats with human faces?" Star asked

Flashback

Star and Marcia were in front of a cat that was sitting in a litter box with its back turned.

"Here, kitty, kitty!" Star said

The cat turns around revealing a human-like face.

"Look away!" The Cat said in a demonic voice.

Present day.

Star and Marcia shudder thinking back at the memory.

"Look! That must be it," Star said pointing at a giant hamster wheel.

The two girls walked over.

"Whoooaaa…" Star said

"Looks like a giant hamster wheel," Marcia said

"Now, how do we start this thing?" Star questioned.

"Hmm. I got this," Marcia said getting onto the wheel.

Marcia tries running on the wheel but it doesn't budge.

"Oh come on!" Marcia said straining to run on the wheel, "I've got great calf muscles!" Marcia gives up running and tries to push the wheel but she just falls over getting her head stuck in the wheel.

"New plan. Rainbow Raccoon Rotation!" Star said blasting the wheel.

The magical blast just bounces off the wheel and lands next to Star making a Raccoon. The Raccoon stands next to Star, mimicking her motions.

"Hmm," Star said looking at the wheel.

"Magic won't work on that. You gotta use the magic of toesies."

Star looks behind her to see a tall blue man with a beard, wearing a white robe playing with rocks.

"Who are you?" Star asked

"I'm Father Time," He picks up a rock, "And this is Rocksworth. He's a rock, but don't bring it up. He's kind of sensitive about it."

Star helps Marcia out of the Wheel of Progress.

"Father Time? So you must push this thing," Marcia said

"Hey, look! I'm over here!" Father Time runs to the left, "And now I'm over here! Hahaha!"

"And how long were you on the wheel?" Star asked

"Oh, you know...forever. Until someone cast a freeze spell and knocked me off of it. What is that?" Father Time asked

"Uh, mud?" Marcia said

Father Time falls face-first into the mud and rolls around in it, "Oh, it's glorious! I love mud," He rubs some on his tongue which makes him gag and spit the mud into Marcia's face.

Marcia grumbles as she wipes her face off, "So, Mr. Time, how would you feel about getting the universe started up again?"

"Oh, where has this been all of my life?" Father Time said rolling in the mud.

"Uh...look, look, look," Star picks up some mud and puts in on the wheel, "You can play with mud on your wheel."

"Huh? Huh?" Marcia said smiling and gesturing to the wheel.

"Well, that is an enticing offer, but nah," Father Time said

"Argh!" Marcia said

"Oh! There's some mud that's a slightly different color," Father Time said running off with Marcia and Star chasing after him, "And there's a twig, and there's a bush, and I-I don't know what that thing is, but it's waddling," Father Time said pointing at a goose with a clock around its neck.

"Wait! You can't just leave time stopped!" Marcia yelled out.

Father Time starts high jumping across the landscape making it hard for Star and Marcia to keep up with him.

"Whoo!" Father Time yelled

"But without time, rainbows can't shoot across the sky! Glitter can't glitter!" Star yelled out.

"And everyone we know will be frozen forever!" Marcia cried out.

Father Time finds an hourglass with a door and opens it, "What's this? Ooh!" Father Time dances through the door, and Star and Marcia approach just as the door closes.

Before the two girls open the door they hear Father Time laughing and look over to see him racing across the sand on the back of a fast turtle.

"YOLO! Hahahaha! Anything's possible!" Father Time cheered

Star and Marcia stop a giant rabbit and jump on its back.

"Yah! Whoo-hoo!" Marcia yelled

The rabbit starts to move but very very very very very slowly.

"I hate this dimension," Marcia said

Star and Marcia had chased Father Time all across the sands of time. He was a hard man to keep up with.

"There he is!" Star pointed out.

Father Time was playing in some water. He jumped up and ran across a river using some clocks as stepping stones.

Star and Marcia chase after him, using the clocks too. They jump onto one clock, transforming into infants. Marcia wobbles and almost falls back but Star catches her. Star jumps forward and lands on another clock transforming her into an elderly woman.

"Oh, my hearts," Star said touching her cheeks.

Marcia lets out a squeal as she tried to make her small baby body jump forward but she tripped and fell face forward onto the clock Star was standing on. When her face connects with the clock her head turns into an old woman while her body stays like an infant.

"Not a word," Marcia said glaring up at Star.

Star smiles down at Marcia and giggles behind her hand.

Star and Marcia finally reach the other side of the stream, and their bodies are returned to their normal age. They follow Father Time into a large building filled with television screens.

"I think he went in there," Star said

"Wow," Marcia said as they walked into the building, "It's the history of the whole universe! Ooh! Battle of Lexington. Nailed it."

A giant eyeball extends down from the ceiling and looks at Star. All of the television screens suddenly switch channels showing Star as a baby.

"*Gasp* It...It's me!" Star said

The screens show baby Star playing with toys, then young Star taking the royal carriage for a joyride with her father running after her. Next is young Star being taught how to swordfight by her guard babysitter.

"Oh, I remember that!" Star said

The screens change to show young Star and Pony Head stealing treasure from Cyclopes, then young Star watching fireworks on the roof of the castle. It then switches to teenage Star and Pony Head going through a punk phase.

"Haha, Watching me is fun," Star said

The screens also show Star riding the wild unicorn before she came to earth then it end with Star's mirror image.

"Oh! Hi, me!" Star said waving at the camera.

"This place must keep track of everything we've done in our lives," Marcia said

The giant eyeball looks at Marcia, and the television screens show her life.

It shows baby Marcia taking her first steps with her parents cheering her on. Then it shows toddler Marcia cooking with her parents, her father's pants catch on fire and toddler Marcia pulls out a fire extinguisher putting it out. Then it shows a young Marcia being taught how to play the guitar but the guitar is too big for her.

"Good times," Marcia said

The scenes changes to Marcia's first day of school with Justin nervously following her. Then it shows her first karate lesson. Then it switches to another karate lesson where Jeremy shows up and Marcia trips him acting nonchalant. The scene changes to teen Marcia and she was wearing the Echo Creek cheer uniform.

"*GASP* You were on the spirit squad!" Star said

"What are you talking about no I wasn't," Marcia said quickly.

"But it's right-"

"Nothing is there, you saw nothing," Marcia said

The channel changes to show Janna about to walk into school but she's stopped by Justin who looks like he's distracting her just as Marcia runs by into the school.

"Wait Justin's been helping me beat Janna to school?: Marcia said

"Told ya he like you," Star said with a smile.

The scene changes to Marcia hanging out with Ferguson and Alfonzo, Marcia made a joke and Ferguson laughed so hard he squirted milk out of his nose. Then the scene changes to night of the blood moon ball where Marcia was dancing with Tom.

The real Marcia blushes and pulls her hood up.

"Ya know you look like you're having a good time," Star said elbowing Marcia.

Marcia just groans and pulls the strings on her hoodie closing it. The screens change to show present day Marcia hiding in her hoodie.

"Hey, guys!"

Star and Marcia look behind them to see Father Time crouched on the ground playing with a spring door stopper.

"Isn't this place incredible? It's like we're living in the future," Father Time said

"Father Time!" Marcia yelled running over to him.

"Emerald Snake Strike!" Star said

Marcia deadpans as she's tied to Father Time with green snakes.

"Great. I think we got him," Marcia said untangling herself, "Yuck. Okay, buddy, let's get you back to your wheel."

As Marcia and Star guide Father Time out of the building, the giant eye looks at him.

The television screens show Father Time running endlessly on the Wheel of Progress. At first, he's smiling but that slowly fades turning into a frown as a depressed Father Time continues to run on the wheel. Star and Marcia look at each other, sympathetic.

"Ah, all right. I guess I'll get back to doing that. Oh, well, it's only for all eternity," Father Time said with a small tone of sadness.

"We can't just make him," Marcia said

"Maybe there's some other way to turn that giant wheel," Star said

The two girls look overseeing Father Time petting a giant hamster. Star and Marcia smile at each other beveling they have the same idea.

"Are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" Marcia asked

Star makes a hamster-drawn carriage for Father Time using the Wheel of Progress as its base.

"Actually, I was thinking we'd...Never mind, it works," Marcia said

"Now you can go anywhere you want and keep the wheel moving!" Star said

"Aww, thanks, guys. I owe ya. Please help yourself to any of my mud. Even the nice stuff," Father Time said

Star and Marcia look at Father Time's mud collection. It's a giant mound of mud with several nametags sticking down that read "VOLCANIC", "MOOR MUD", "SLURRY", "BLACK", "MUCK", and "SEABED".

"We're good," Marcia said

"Oh, and maybe don't freeze time again. It's kind of fragile. You don't want to break it. Know what I mean? Well, so long! Time hamsters away! Yoo-hoo!" Father Time said

Father Time whips the carriage reins, and the time hamsters pull the Wheel of Progress forward.

Star and Marcia smile as they watch Father Time leave.

"Wait. The wheel's moving," Star said

"We've got to get back!" Marcia and Star yelled

A portal opens in Echo Creek right next to Marcia's locker. Star and Marcia hop out.

"Whoa!" Marcia said standing next to her locker.

Janna walks over and Marcia smirks at her.

"Looks like I win Janna! No more breaking into my locker," Marcia said

"Fine whatever. I've got you spare house keys!" Janna said before running away.

"What?!" Marcia reaches into her pocket and finds that her spare house keys are gone, "Ugh! Janna!" Marcia yelled

Marcia hears a cough behind her and turns around to see a blushing Justin.

"Uh-hey! Marcia, I uhm congrats on winning the bet," Justin said

"Thanks, I-" Marcia stop talking seeing Star standing behind her with a large smile, "I know you've been helping me and thanks. I couldn't have done it without you."

Justin gives a grin and rubs the back of his neck, "Well you-"

Justin is cut off when Marcia presses a kiss to his cheek in thanks.

"Thanks again," Marcia said

Marcia walks over to Star as Justin falls against the locker red faced.

Star and Marcia laugh as they hook arms walking to class but they slow down and freeze.

Plainof Time

Father Time is rolling around in the mud paling with the giant hamsters, "You guys really get me!"
