"Heeey Marcia," Star smiled walking into Marcia's room.
"Star. What did we say about knocking?" Marcia said
"Oh, right." Star walks backwards out of the room closing the door. Three knocks are sounded on the other side of the door and before Marcia could answer Star kicks the door open running in.
Marcia just simply sighs shaking her head.
"Marcia let's go!" Star was bouncing up and down.
"Go where? And why are you so bouncy?" Marcia questioned
"No time we gotta go now or we're gonna miss it!" Star pulled out her dimensional scissors cutting a hole.
"But where are we-!"
Star grabbed the back of Marcia's dress pulling the girl into the portal.
Marcia grunted as she caught herself from falling on the ground, she stood up fully taking in her new surroundings. The two girls seemed to be an in a forest, a rather ominous looking forest. The tree's of the forest were odd. The trunks grew in a spiraling motion twisting on top of another and the leaves were all black.
"Star where in the known universe are we?" Marcia asked
"Were in Twisted Woods," Star answered
"And why are we here?" Marcia asked
"Duh, to get ice cream," Star stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Ice cr-Star wait!" Marcia cried running after her friend, who had started walking off.
Marcia walked closely behind Star the girl flinching at every noise. The shaken girl paused before a rather large tree that had a hole in it. She stared at the hole until three yellow eyes appeared in the darkness of it. Marcia yelped and ran forward catching back up with Star.
"Star why would we be in this creepy place for ice cream?" Marcia asked
"There's a little cabin here somewhere and the owner sells the best ice cream, but he only makes it when he feels like it," Star explained
"Seriously? But why all the way out here?" Marcia questioned
"Don't know, but Marcia we'll be fine. Pony Head and I have done this like two times already," Star said
Marcia quirked a brow, "Only two?"
"Yes, trust me it'll all be worth it. This ice cream is to die for," Star said
Star started to walk off and as Marcia went to follow a howl could be heard in the distance sending a shiver down her spine.
"That's what I'm afraid of," Marcia whispered
After walking around the eerie forest, Star and Marcia had yet to find said mystery cabin that sold the amazing ice cream Star had been boasting was so delicious. The two girls had traveled deeper and deeper in the forest, the trees had become denser and the chilling feeling Marcia had felt earlier only seemed to grow.
Finally, Marcia spoke up. "Star I don't think this secret ice cream cabin is near here."
"Marcia, why must you doubt me so. It's just right ooooover-" Star looked around her then pointed in a random direction. "Here!"
"Star! Star!" Marcia called running after the blonde. She caught up to Star grabbing her friends shoulder. "Maybe we should stop and go home. This place gives me the willies."
"But Marcia were so close," Star stressed
"You've been saying that for the past half hour," Marcia groaned
"I'm telling you it's just right over-" Star pulled back a branch spotting a small cabin, "-here! Told you, Marcia!" Star sent her friend a smirk before running off to the cabin.
Marcia rolled her eyes following. When the two girls reached the cabin, Marcia was 100% sure that it wasn't the ice cream shack Star had been talking about. The cabin seemed really out of place, in the deserted forest. It was well-kept and the yard surrounding it had been perfectly maintained. Marcia peeked into the cabin through the window. The place was clean not a single speck of dust in sight.
Star knocked on the door and it opened.
"Hello?" Star called out poking her head in the door.
"Star you can't just go into people's cabins," Marcia scolded
"I don't think anyone's home," Star said stepping back out of the cabin.
"Star, I don't know what we're looking for but I'm pretty sure this is not it," Marcia said
"Hmmm, this place normally is more livelier, Oh!" Star reached into her purse pulling out her compact. "I know I'll just call Pony Head she can lead us to the ice cream."
Marcia sighed her shoulders drooping. At this point, she just wanted to go home. Another howl was heard in the distance and Marcia scooched closer to Star out of fear.
She peered over Star's shoulder as the princess made the call to her floating Pony Head friend. The compact rung four times before Pony Head appeared on the screen.
From what they could see Pony Head was at a table with a large sundae sitting before her. In the background, music could be heard and several people walked by with ice cream in hand.
"Star! Earth Turd! What's up girls!" Pony Head smiled greeting the two.
Marcia did not comment on the Earth Turd greeting, now finding it as Pony Head's term of endearment rather than an insult.
"Pony Head! Great I see you have ice cream are you at the place?" Star asked
"Sure am girl! But where are you, I've been like waiting forever for you to get here. Girl they are almost out of Rainbow Crunch!" Pony Head said
"No, that's my favorite flavor!" Star exclaimed. "Marcia and I were just on our way to the place. But Marcia here thinks we're lost."
"We are," Marcia threw in.
"Well, where are you?" Pony Head asked
Star flipped her compact around showing Pony Head the cabin and the decrepit forest surrounding it.
"Yeeeaaahhh, I don't know where you are." Pony Head said
"Huh? But were in Twisted Woods," Star said
"Twisted Woods? Girl you're supposed to be in Twisty Woods," Pony Head said
"Oooooooh! Right, I always get those two confused," Star said
Marcia groaned smacking her forehead.
"Alrighty then, we got this now Pony Head. See you soon." Star waved at the image of her friend.
"See ya soon girl!" Pony Head smiled giving her farewell as Star ended the call.
"Okay Star now that we know-"
*CRASH*
Marcia was interrupted by the sound of a tree falling in the distance.
"...What was that?" Marcia uttered fearful to find out what the answer was.
"I….don't know. Something big I think," Star stated
The two girl's jumped startled as a deafening howl echoed through the forest, followed by more crashing trees.
"What is that!?" Marcia shouted
Pony Head was digging into her ice cream when someone approached her. She cast her gaze up from her delicious frozen treat locking her two eyes with three.
"Tom?" Pony Head questioned
"Pony Head," Tom greeted. He looked to the left and right searching the area. "Soooo where are your friends?"
Pony Head finally pulled away from her food. "Friends? Do you mean Star?"
"Well I think Star is included in that but you have other friends right. I'm sure they would be here joining you," Tom said
"Yeah, they will. Listen I know that Star is like the bestest girl ever but you're going to have to get over her," Pony Head said
"I am over her," Tom stated
"Suuure you are." Pony Head's tone clearly said she didn't believe him.
"I'm serious. I don't like Star in that way anymore," Tom said
"Suuuuure," Pony Head replied
"Seriously! In fact, I've got another girl," Tom said
Pony Head raised a brow skeptical to Tom's words. "Okay then, what's this 'new girl's' name?"
Tom stumbled over his thoughts not wanting to reveal his new crush was actually Marcia.
"She's uhm-you don't know her so her name's not important."
Pony Head hummed, "Okay then. I'll make sure to let Star know about this 'new girl', so she knows that you're totally over her."
Tom sighed slapping his forehead slowly sliding the palm of his hand down his face. "Just tell me if Marcia and Star are coming or not?"
"Yeah they're coming they just got a little lost." Pony Head answered
"Lost?" Tom questions
"Yeah, they went to Twisted Woods instead of Twisty Woods," Pony Head said
"Twisted Woods?" Tom questioned, "Why does that sound so familiar?"
Pony Head shrugged her nonexistent shoulders. "Don't know but I'm sure they'll be fine. I mean what's the worst that could happen? It's not like they're gonna run into a-"
"Werewolf!" Marcia screamed
Marcia and Star both screamed as they ran for their lives. Just as Marcia had screamed the girls were indeed being chased by a giant ferocious man-eating werewolf. They could hear the deep panting of the beast as it frothed at the mouth gaining on the girls with each pounding step.
"What can defend against a giant dog?!" Marcia shouted
"Maybe a giant cat!" Star said. "I don't know any giant cat spells."
"A giant cat, Star, I think you mean a lion!" Marcia replied
As soon as the words left her lips there was a flash of bright red light followed by a loud thunderous roar.
Marcia and Star's eyes widened seeing the large red cat that once appeared before the girls during the time Marcia almost got sacrificed to an Egyptian war mummy. The red lion was just as big as before but it had this see-through form, like the lion was made out of solid light or it was a hologram. The Lion stood protectively in front of the girls letting out a massive roar at the werewolf. It reared on its hind legs smashing its front paws on top of the werewolf's head.
"Where does that thing keep coming from?" Star questioned eyes on the Lion.
"Run now questions later!" Marcia shouted grabbing Star's hand before running off.
"Are you kidding me!" Marcia shouted
The girls had run around in a big circle ending back up at the abandoned cabin. The mysterious red Lion had vanished and the werewolf was closing in.
"What is up with this forest?! We ran in a straight line! How did we end up back at this creepy cabin!" Marcia shouted
"I think this forest might be haunted." Star held up the dimensional scissors. "These aren't working either."
"Gaaahh!" Marcia cried grabbing her hair.
A howl rang through the air and the girls, finding no other option, ran in the cabin. The werewolf threw itself at the door splintering the wood. It only took one more hit before the door was nothing but a pile of kindling.
"Ahhhh!" Marcia screamed as the giant dog stuck its head in the cabin snapping its jaws.
Star held up her wand. "Cupcake Blast!"
An array of cupcakes came firing out of Star's wand aimed at the monster. The giant creature simply opened its mouth eating the magical attack.
"He ate it!" Marcia cried. "Can he even do that?!"
"Emerald Snake Strike! Honeybee Tornado Swarm! Flying Pig Blast!" Star shouted firing off one spell after another. But nothing seemed to work.
"Star! I think he's just getting angrier!" Marcia cried
"Mega Narwhal Blast!"
The poor Narwhals did nothing.
"Star! Something more powerful!" Marcia cried
"Warnicorn Stampede! Beanbag Monster Metamorphosis! Toothpaste Tidal Blast!"
Star started kept casting spells and it got to the point where she started casting non-combat spells.
"Makeup Blast!"
"Star! Do you have any more spells!" Marcia cried
"I've got one more! Spider with a Top Hat Blast!" Star shouted
"A spider with a top hat?!" Marcia cried "How is that gonna help-"
Marcia was cut off as the werewolf snapped its jaws eating her.
"Marcia!" Star cried
The werewolf reached around grabbing Star. She screamed trapped in the monsters large paws.
Spider with a Top Hat slowly approached the monster nervous. "Uh, I'm Spider with a Top Hat…" As he spoke his top hat turned into a machine gun. "..and a laser cannon! WAR CRY!"
A barrage of top hat shaped bullets fired off attacking the werewolf. The monster opened its jaws releasing Marcia.
"Oh, thank goodness," Marcia groaned
The monster is forced back out of the cabin. It slinks back into the shadows vanishing in the night. There was a flash of light and everything turned back to normal, the cabin returning back into its cozy little state. Marcia and Star fell onto the couch looking worse for wear.
"Star?" Marcia gasped with a smile sitting up. "Spider with a Top Hat did it!"
"My little top hat. Strongest spell I've got," Star smiled
A rather battered and tired Marcia and Star walked into the real ice cream cabin. The party was still jumping but right now the girls didn't know if they had the energy in them.
"Yo, B-Fly you finally made it!" Pony Head greeted
"Pony Head!" Star seemed to get all her energy back and bounded off to go talk with her floating friend.
Marcia just let out a sigh slamming her head on a table.
"Marcia!"
"Tom?" Marcia questioned picking her head up.
"What are-whoa what happened to you?" Tom asked taking in Marcia's disheveled state.
"It's….something I'd rather not talk about now," Marcia said
"Oh...okay. You've got a stick in your hair," Tom pointed out.
Marcia sighed reaching to grab it but couldn't find the piece of wood in her messy locks.
"Here let me." Tom reached up plucking the twig out of Marcia's hair.
"Thanks…." Marcia trialed off as she glanced up at the demon boy connecting eyes with him.
Tom had a soft but entranced look on his face as he stared back at Marcia. Marcia gave him a shy smile rubbing the back of her head as she turned her attention elsewhere.
The two stood in a rather awkward silence until Tom spoke up.
"Would you like an ice cream? I'll buy." He asked
"Yeah, and ice cream sounds nice," Marcia said
