Hey guys, RJ Writing Ink here. No funny intro this week. I wanna get straight into the story! Also, I'm super busy with my YouTube channel. I've been thinking of making it into a PNGTuber channel. It's where I have this PNG render of myself that I use as an avatar so I can use it to react to stuff and do livestreams. It's great. I just need to find the right render first. Just like Comet needs to find whatever's donking up his Wand! On with the story.

Comet Dragonfly didn't know how long he'd been in the World Within the Wand, as Glossaryck called it. One moment, it would feel like he and his magical mentor had been walking (floating, in Glossaryck's case) for hours. The next, it would feel like a few minutes. The point was, Comet didn't know how long he'd been inside the Wand. It seemed like time had little meaning in this mysterious place.
Not helping matters was the fact that the place seemed to shift and change randomly. Despite their destination being Echo Creek Academy, then onward to Castle Dragonfly, the World wasn't making matters easy. Comet could be walking through a memory of the Forest of Certain Death only to find himself swimming toward the underwater kingdom of Oceanus. Then he could be at Echo Creek's dog park or the skate park. The whole place seemed so confusing, and it didn't get him any closer to the school or Castle. Thankfully, Glossaryck was there to keep him focused and help him figure out the best path.
To pass the time, Comet ended up conversing with Glossaryck.
"So, Glossaryck, tell me something: did my Dad or any of my ancestors ever have to do this sort of thing?"
"It's happened from time to time over the centuries. Occasionally, some kind of bug makes the Wand go all wonky. That's when I have to step in and help fix things," he said before quietly adding, "like usual," under his breath.
"But no. Your father never had to do this sort of thing while he had possession of the Wand. Which is good because this sort of thing's incredibly dangerous."
"Dangerous? Really? I think you might be worrying a little too much, Glossaryck," Comet said, scoffing at the notion. "So far, the only dangerous thing about this place is the sheer boredom!" he said exaggeratedly. "We've been in here for hours, and besides Marcia, we haven't seen eye nor hair of anyone."
"Yes, that is rather odd, considering the nature of this place," Glossaryck admitted. "But I think you're still underestimating how risky coming here is. As I said before, this World reflects the user's memories. Anything you've seen, heard, and experienced could appear. Heck, you could even find things you've only dreamt about until now!"
*Record Scratch. End of Music.*
Comet stopped dead in his tracks as the two passed the Stop-n-Slurp.
"I'm sorry, what?"
Glossaryck gave his student a confused look, unsure why he stopped walking.
"What's wrong, my boy?"
"I'm sorry, but did you just say that anything that I've seen, read, thought up, or dreamt about could show up here?" Comet said, trying to keep his cool as best he could. "Because that would mean I could come across anything from the memories of some people whose butts I've kicked. Or, Mewni forbid, I could see things I've seen in my video games, on TV, or the Internet. Because that..." Comet hesitated to say this next part but knew he had to. "That might be bad."
Glossaryck arched an eyebrow at this. "Bad in what regard, exactly?"
To this, Comet could only offer a sheepish laugh of embarrassment. "Let's just say...I might need to find something in the way of defending myself."
Glossaryck pondered this for a moment. "That would be prudent. I didn't mention this before, but since you are in your Wand, you can't rely on it to use magic. Your only other option would be to dip down, and I don't know how far you've progressed with that."
Now understanding the gravity of his situation, Comet's instincts began to kick in. He had to find himself a weapon. Anything would do; his Mom and her family had taught him how to craft basic weapons when he was younger. Combined with his brief training with Wilhelm, he had a few ideas in his head.
Looking over at the Stop-N-Slurp (the memory of the Stop-N-Slurp, he reminded himself), he got an idea. Motioning with the leash for Glossaryck to follow him, the boy ran inside the shop. He had to get some supplies.
Comet looked inside the Stop-N-Slurp, trying to find anything he could turn into a weapon. Thankfully, it took him only a little while to locate things that could be valuable. Everything from bottles of alcohol to cigarettes and lighters to the mop used to clean the floors was there. And all of it gave Comet a few ideas.
First, he dove into the liquor bottles. He only used glass bottles; the metal cans would be useless for what he had in mind. After opening a sufficient number of them and partially emptying them of their contents, he looked around for something made of cloth or paper. Seeing a few cheaply-made shirts hanging on a rack off in the corner, he grabbed them next and stuffed them halfway into the bottles. Just like that, he now had a bunch of Molotov cocktails. He used the remainder of the cloth to fashion himself some holsters he could use to carry them around on his body.
Next, Comet went for the lighters. He grabbed as many packs as he could find and removed them from their packages. Using a pocket knife he got from a display, Comet yanked the casing off of each of the lighters. Then, he fiddled with the little switches that let him change the flame's intensity, moving them to the highest setting before moving the controller up and setting it back down. The boy repeated this process several times for each lighter before reinserting the casing. Once that was done, he held one of the lighters and tried to light it. To his satisfaction, its flame was several times larger than normal.
"Instant flamethrower. Sweet!"
After that, Comet's next move was to find a melee weapon he could use. The knives were useful, but they needed to have the range he wanted. Eyeing up the mop next to the janitor's bucket, Comet got another idea. Walking up to the bucket, Comet took hold of the mop before removing the head. Now, he had a makeshift bo staff.
"Ooh, that is impressive," Glossaryck said. Much to Comet's surprise, the magical entity was helping himself to a Slurpee he got from one of the machines. "What? I never ate lunch today."
"No complaining here, Glossaryck," Comet said, showing no problem with his teacher's actions. If he were hungry, he'd do the same. "Well, I've got enough firepower to handle any ne'er-do-wells. Let's get a move on and make for the Castle!"
"Agreed," Glossaryck nodded as the two then made for the exit. The moment the two set foot outside the Stop-N-Slurp, they were met by a surprising sight. Standing in front of them was an army of familiar-looking Monsters. There were Spike-Balls, Beard Deer, Boo Fly, Lobster Claws, Giraffe Man, Bearicorn, Man Arm, Dave and Ping Pong, and Buff Frog. And naturally, Ludo was standing at the front of the pack, doing his best to look intimidating.
None of the Monsters said anything; they didn't have to. The murderous glares they gave him were more than enough to indicate their intentions. The Stop-N-Slurp was the first place he'd fought these guys after coming to Earth.

"Glossaryck, stay close to me!" Comet yelled to his teacher, wrapping the leash tightly around his arm before arming himself with his staff.
"Comet, wait, we shouldn't fight them-aaaaaaah!"
Glossaryck's plea came too late as Comet proceeded to charge headlong into the fray.
Comet knew it would be risky fighting these phantom memories of Ludo's Army. If he let his focus slip for too long, he'd risk getting separated from Glossaryck, making this trip harder than it already was. However, the fact that he'd lived through this fight meant he knew what to expect. The main problem was winning without his Wand and a tenuous grasp on wandless magic.
The Prince of Mewni's decision to grab weapons and supplies from the convenience store proved smart. For one, he wielded his staff with the skill and efficiency of someone who'd used them for years, which he had. While he'd received plenty of training in more conventional weapons, for some reason, Comet seemed fond of staves. While they pierce armor and flesh like a sword or crush someone's chest cavity like a flail or war hammer, they suited Comet for his light-footed nature. He dodged, weaved, and worked his way around the Monster's punches, getting inside their defenses, and then BAM! He'd jab them in the joints of their limbs while punching them in the gut to knock the wind out of them. Then, while they were stunned, he'd sweep below their legs and knock them to the ground!
It wasn't just the staff that proved useful, though. The mini flamethrowers that he'd created provided a good ranged attack. All he had to do was flick the lighter on, and a jet of flame would burst forth. When he used several of them at once, it looked like he was fire-bending or had summoned forth a dragon's maw from his hands. Several of the Monsters caught fire because they were too slow to avoid the blazing jets. Then they started to run around, trying to put the flames out by any means necessary, but since they didn't watch where they were going, they kept running into each other. Soon, more than half of the Monsters were on fire.
The whole time, Comet made sure to keep an eye on Glossaryck. He didn't want to lose his mentor and make things harder for himself here! It wasn't easy; it took all of his concentration to keep an eye on him. But Comet did not lose sight of the little blue man during the entire fight.
End Music.
After what felt like several minutes had passed, the phantom Monsters lay on the ground in front of Comet, bruised, battered...and not saying a word. Not even those on fire a few moments ago said anything.
"Okay, that's done," Comet said as he wiped off his brow. "We still good, Glossaryck?"
"I'm still here, somehow," Glossaryck said, giving the boy a thumbs up. "
"There's one thing I don't get, though: why aren't they talking? Like, not even a little? Because I remember them talking and yelling and shit when me and Marcia fought them." Comet genuinely felt confused at this, especially considering how his memory of Marcia spoke before.
Glossaryck merely shrugged. "Comet, the first thing you must know about this place is that not everything will make sense. You know all those laws of physics and that science stuff you've been learning at school. Well, consider them repealed in this place," Glossaryck told his student. He added, "And the longer we stay here, the crazier things might get. So, let's get out of here while we still have a chance and get to the school."
"Right. Now, if I remember correctly, we just need to keep heading up the road in that direction," Comet said before pointing to the street heading north. "If we follow the road, we should make it to Echo Cree-wait; how did we get up here?"
Much to Comet's surprise, he wasn't standing in the parking lot of the Stop-N-Slurp anymore. In fact, it didn't even look like he was in Echo Creek or Mewni, for that matter! Instead, Comet and Glossaryck now found themselves standing atop a wall. A massive, enormous wall that seemed to reach the heights of skyscrapers before extending out farther than the eye could hope to see.
"Okay, this is new," Glossaryck said, puzzled about their new location. "I don't recall ever visiting a place like this. Comet, are you familiar with where we are?" When Comet didn't answer right away, Glossaryck asked him again. "Comet?"
"What? Oh, sorry," Comet apologized as he looked at Glossaryck again. "I was trying to take in our new surroundings," the boy said as he cautiously peeked over the edge of the wall. When he looked down, he was surprised to find a town nestled inside the place, caught between this and another bigger wall in the back.
"Wait, we couldn't be...oh, no..." Comet's face scowled as he realized where they were now. Normally, he would've been elated to be in a place like this. After all, this place was from one of his favorite anime. However, he usually would have something like his Wand, Spells, Marcia, or Coryn to back him up. This time, though? He was alone...in one of the last places he could want to be in his state.
"We gotta get out of here," Comet quickly said as he got up from looking down the wall. "Like, right now! We gotta move!"
"Okay, I know I said that we need to hurry, but this is a little concerning," Glossaryck admitted, concerned about his student's well-being. "Is there something here that you don't want to remember? Is that it?"
"Yes! I mean, no! It's-bah!" Comet slumped his shoulders as he searched for the right thing to say. "Look, this isn't the memory of someplace that I've been to, Glossaryck. It's the memory of one of my favorite anime, Attack on Titan."
"Hmm...is that the one with the ninjas or the one with those giant people that don't have skin?" Glossaryck should have paid more attention to what Comet watched; he had his own shows to enjoy.
"The one with the giant, naked people," Comet clarified. "The giant, naked people whose sole purpose is to eat other people! And if I'm right, we're atop the wall as the protagonists finish their training, right before they get attacked by..."
A flash of lightning, thunder, and an explosion of steam coming directly behind him cut Comet off before he could finish. The Prince and Glossaryck turned around just in time to witness the events unfolding. Standing there, a full story taller than the massive walls, was a ginormous Titan. Like the rest, it had no skin, its body made entirely of muscle, and a mouth like a rotting corpse with all its teeth visible. It was the Colossal Titan.
"...by that."
Glossaryck covered his mouth in astonishment. "Oh, dear. Well, think of it this way, Comet. Maybe it won't attack us since it's just a memory of something."
As if in response to this claim, at this exact moment, the Colossal Titan raised one of its massive arms and began to sweep it across the top of the wall, knocking away cannons, boxes of ammunition, and, as Comet saw in the distance, people. And it was headed right for them!
"Okay, it's time for us to get out of here!" Glossaryck yelled. Then, before Comet could even process what was happening, a giant, ephemeral pink hand appeared out of Glossaryck's forehead gem and pushed Comet off the wall, sending him falling to the ground below.
"NOT COOOOOOOL, GLOSSARYCCCCCKK!" Comet yelled as he plunged toward the stone pavement below. Thankfully, before he could splat, another pink hand caught him before gently carrying him down to the ground and letting him off.
"You're welcome, by the way," Glossaryck said nonchalantly.
"I'd complain more, but you just made me realize how it feels when I do that sort of thing to Marcia and the others," Comet said as he brushed himself off. "Okay, new plan. We need to get as far away from the wall as we can, and hopefully, the World Within the Wand will deposit us somewhere else. Say, for example, the school. All we got to do is get to the inner gate," he said as he pointed in the direction of the gate that led into the greater wall, "and not get eaten by the army of Titans that's about to come swarming in here."
"I'm sorry, what's this about an army?" Glossaryck worriedly asked.
Then, as if the World Within the Wand wanted to be a jerk, the horde of Titans summoned by the Colossal Titan and its allies came rushing in. They were ready to seek out their next meal. All around them, the phantoms of the various characters from the anime began to scream and panic as the whole situation devolved into utter chaos.
"That army. And here I have no ODM gear," Comet let out an irritated sigh as he reluctantly got his staff out and prepared to fight for his life.
Glossaryck's assertions about their journey inside the Wand proved to be accurate. After landing in the middle of one of the bloodiest anime in modern times, the World Within the Wand seemed to go even crazier than it already was.
How Comet and Glossaryck managed to survive the Titan attack, they did not know. All they could remember between the rushes of adrenaline was Comet either dipped down, or they stole some gear off one of the dead soldiers and used that to fight their way to the inner gate. Once they crossed that threshold, they were warped to another location in the World Within the Wand.
Sadly, the next place they found themselves was another battlefield, but not one that Comet had seen in a fictional work. Instead, Comet and Glossaryck found themselves in the middle of a skirmish on Mewni, but it wasn't as Comet knew it. This Mewni had a barren landscape under a dreary sky, broken weapons and pieces of armor littered the ground. In the distance, Comet could see a group of what looked like Mewmans presiding over what seemed to be Monsters, locked in chains and being marched off to who-knows-where. What surprised Comet most, though, were the banners fluttering in the wind as they were held aloft by the Mewmans. They all had a brass-colored lightning bolt on them, the personal sigil of his ancestor, Solarius Dragonfly.
As soon as they both saw this banner, Glossaryck grabbed Comet's hand and simply told him, "We must leave this place." As much as Comet wanted to see what memory this was of his ancestor, he had enough sense to understand that Glossaryck wasn't asking him to leave; he was telling him.
After that...experience, the pair tried to get back on track, only for the ground underneath Comet's feet to give way. Instead of being on dry land, he found himself floating in the ocean. Comet didn't take long to figure out where they were, as a certain landmark told him all he needed. Laying there, just shy of the water as the tide rolled in, was the abandoned and neglected hull of the ship that would become the Shooting Star. Comet's face lit up when he saw his ship, realizing that this was the memory of the day he and Aqua found it. At first, Comet wanted to swim towards the old ship, but Glossaryck pumped the breaks on that notion, especially when they saw younger versions of himself, Aqua, MC, and Tammy running toward the boat. Reluctantly, he swam away from the island into the open water. That was when the World around them began to change once more.
Without warning, the master and student pair found themselves not in the ocean but in a creek running through the Forest of Certain Death. Thankfully, the water was shallow and placid, so they didn't have to worry about being swept away by the current. Once they made it onto the banks, Comet checked over his makeshift weaponry. The good news? None of his homemade Molotov cocktails suffered any damage, and the lighters managed to dry out before long.
The bad news was that Comet lost his staff in the water, something he wasn't happy to discover. His mood quickly rebounded, though, when he discovered they came ashore near a small grove of ironwood trees. It took some struggling on Comet's part, but...he couldn't dislodge one of the branches. Glossaryck used his magic to do it for the Prince, much to his annoyance and Comet's joy.
After that, the two carefully made their way through the Forest, avoiding any hazards or phantom wildlife as they did so. After what felt like forever, the two reached the edge of the Forest...only to find themselves in the middle of another open field underneath the moons of Mewni, this time unspoiled by war. It also happened to be hosting some festival or meetups that cater primarily to attractive men and women of all ages.
Comet snuck closer in the hopes of seeing what all these people were doing here, only to get confused as he and Glossaryck got closer...and found people were throwing clothes in haphazard piles on the ground, including undergarments. Comet had seen enough ecchi anime and glances at adult activities online to guess what was happening. Without saying a word, both he and Glossaryck hightailed it out of there.
These were only a few of the twists and turns that Comet and Glossaryck dealt with before, after what felt like forever, they managed to return to Echo Creek itself, though they had no clue how that happened. Much to their relief, the walk to Echo Creek Academy remained relatively peaceful...except for the pack of dogs that chased them, thinking Glossaryck was a chew toy. And the giant, floating baby head they saw. That didn't make any sense to either of them.
After all of that, though, the duo finally managed to make it to the front doors of Echo Creek Academy.
"Now, you're sure that we'll find the thing that doesn't belong here?" Comet asked Glossaryck for clarity's sake.
"Well, I did say it was likely in Castle Dragonfly," Glossaryck clarified. "But there's also a good chance it might be here. This school is of great importance to you, after all, and it's been the focal point of your life since you began living on Earth, and that means that the memory of it will likely be very strong in the Wand."
"All right, then. Let's get in there and find whatever it is that's messing with the Wand, already!" Comet eagerly said before opening the doors. Or, at least, he tried to. The school doors opened by themselves.
"Well, that's slightly ominous," Comet admitted. Still, he'd come too far to back out now. Thus, into the school did the two venture.
Much like the rest of the World Within the Wand, the memory version of Echo Creek Academy seemed largely abandoned. There were no students, no teachers, or faculty to be found. Still, if this crazy World had taught Comet anything, he should expect people or things to pop up out of nowhere. So he and Glossaryck had to proceed with caution.
"Okay, Glossaryck, just so we're 110% clear, you don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for?" Comet asked for the umpteenth time since starting this journey.
"Yes, Comet," Glossaryck said with the patience of a saint. "Even I don't know what exactly it is we're looking for in here, and I know that it could be anything, and that we should keep looking for it."
"Hmmm," Comet thought for a moment about this. Where would he be hiding if he were something that was messing with his Wand? That's when it hit him. "My locker!" Comet said as he snapped his fingers. "Come on, Glossaryck!" Comet then yanked Glossaryck by the leash as he ran down the hallway toward his locker. Once he got there, Comet opened it up and began to rummage through it, hoping that whatever he was supposed to be looking for might be there.
There wasn't really anything in there, though. The only things of note were pictures he had of CometFan13 and a bunch of his friends. That, and Marcia's red belt.
"Oh yeah, that's right. I never use my locker since I can use my Wand or dimensional scissors to bring me whatever I need. My bad, Glossaryck," Comet said as he apologized to his teacher. "I don't suppose there's any chance that this might be the thing that doesn't belong, is there?" he said as he gestured to Marcia's red belt.
"Sorry, but no," Glossaryck said while shaking his head. "It has to be something that's not from your memories or the memories of a previous wielder of the Wand."
"Damn," Comet cursed while snapping his fingers. "Well, it's not a total loss, I guess." Bending down into his locker and reaching for the belt, the boy tied it around his head just because he could. "At least now I got a cool headband. Get a metal plate when we return, and I'd look like a ninja from Naruto. Huh? Huh?"
At this point, the two of them began to hear this strange rattling sound echoing throughout the school. Comet and Glossaryck paused momentarily, trying to understand what they had just heard.
"Huh...why does that sound familiar to me?" Comet pondered. He knew he had heard that sound somewhere but couldn't put his finger on it. "Meh, probably nothing. Wanna go check the cafeteria?"
"Sure, why not?"
Spongebob Narrator: Two Minutes Later...
Now sitting at one of the lunch tables in the empty cafeteria, Comet and Glossaryck were busy helping themselves to some of the food on the unguarded lunch trays.
"Mmmm, memory burger," Comet said as he enjoyed the hamburger he was chowing down on. "You know, Glossaryck, I have a list of all the stuff from Earth that I want to introduce to Mewni. And, like, half of it includes all my favorite foods. Because I need to introduce burgers to The Tipsy Warnicorn!"
"Mmm, no arguments here, my Prince," Glossaryck said as he scarfed down some pudding cups. "Earth's got the best pudding! I can't get enough of it!" After finishing the last of the pudding cups, though, Glossaryck got a serious look on his face. "But seriously, we need to keep looking for whatever it is that's messing up your Wand."
Just as Comet was about to suggest some more places to look around the school, they heard a bleating noise from the kitchen. Curious, both of them put down their food and made their way to the double doors that separated the cafeteria from the kitchen. When they got inside, they found a conveyor belt carrying hamburgers to a nearby oven. However, that was different from what drew their attention. What drew their attention was the poor creature on the conveyor belt.
It was a short, chubby animal that looked like a cross between a pig and goat. It had purple fur covering its body, an indigo mane, pink cloven hooves, dark red eyes, and horns that were a mixture of brown, orange, and yellow. A noticeable scar ran across its left eye, arrows protruding from its back (though it didn't seem to be in pain from them), and a necklace with a pink diamond on it. Comet immediately recognized that it was a Pig-goat, a domesticated animal native to Mewni. Farmers and shepherds regularly made their livings off raising and selling Pig-goats. Not only were they good for eating or as pets, but they were also known to be ridden into battle.
Seeing the poor Pig-goat bleating as it tried to escape from the oven, Comet took pity on it. He rushed over and pulled the unfortunate creature off the belt without hesitation. "There you go, little guy," he said as he set the Pig-goat on the ground, who happily bleated at him in response.
"You're welcome. But what are you doing in a place like this?" As Comet bent down to inspect the Pig-goat, he noticed that the diamond it wore around its neck had some writing. Curious, Comet read the words out loud.
"Hmmm...'Lil Chauncey.' Why does that name ring a bell?" Comet thought about this for a moment before finally remembering where he had heard the name. "Wait, Lil Chauncey. Like Lil Chauncey Lil Chauncey?"
The Pig-goat bleated in response to his name.
"As in my Dad's pet Pig-goat?" Comet's eyes widened in realization. "No way..."
When Comet was a kid, his Dad occasionally told him stories about his beloved pet Pig-goat. According to Mune, he first laid eyes on him when he went to a local fair for his 17th birthday, and he knew he had to have him. So he took all the money he had saved up and bought him from the stall right then and there. After that, Chauncey served as Mune's constant companion and best friend and his war mount that he rode into battle.
Alas, like many pets, Mune had to outlive his beloved Chauncey. Their parting wasn't a happy one either. One day, while on patrol against a group of Monster bandits, Mune fell into an ambush. He managed to beat back his attackers, but not before Chauncey fell in battle, protecting his master. According to Lake, it took Mune several weeks for him to get over the Pig-goat's death.
"Glossaryck, look! It's my Dad's pet Pig-goat! Maybe this is the thing that's not supposed to be here!" Comet said as he excitedly pointed at the happily bleating Pig-goat with a big smile. Glossaryck, though, was...less than happy to see Lil Chauncey again. When he was alive, the animal had a habit of chewing on his words, leading him to develop a dislike for the creature.
"Yes, so it is. But no," Glossaryck bluntly said. "Remember what I said about memories from past Wand users? This still counts. Also, I don't like him."
"What? Why not, though?" Comet couldn't believe that his mentor couldn't be charmed by Lil Chauncey. "How can you not like this precious little angel. Look at him. He's adorable!"
"He just stole your boot."
"Huh?" Comet looked down at his feet and saw he was missing one of his boots. For indeed, Lil Chauncey had stolen it off of him when he wasn't looking before proceeding to run out the kitchen doors.
"Wha-Lil Chauncey! No! You give me my boot back right now!"
Lil Chauncey looked at Comet briefly, but then he proceeded to hop away with his ill-begotten prize in his mouth, much to Comet's annoyance.
"You come back here, Lil C! You come back to Comet right now!" Comet shouted as he proceeded to run after the Pig-goat, determined to get his boot back.
"Wait, Comet, hold on! I don't wanna be yanked-" Glossaryck started to say, but then he noticed something. By now, the leash should've become taut and started pulling him towards Comet. However, nothing was happening. Curious, Glossaryck peered down at the leash haphazardly tied to his waist...and found it broken. A victim of a Pig-goat's appetite.
"Oh, this can't be good," Glossaryck said. And indeed, it did not.
000000000000000000000000000
After chasing him across what felt like the entire school, Comet finally managed to corner Lil Chauncey in Principal Skeeves' office. There he was, sitting in a rocking chair with the boot still in his mouth.
"There you are, boot-napper! Dad would be so unhappy with you if he found you were pilfering footwear from his son!" Comet said, the disappointment on his face palpable. "Now gimme!" Comet said as he yanked the boot out of the Pig-goat's mouth. "And get out of that chair. You can't sit in there like you're people. Plus, my Mom would have you for dinner if she found out you were sitting in her favorite rocking chair. *gasp* Her favorite rocking chair!"
Sure enough, Comet discovered that Chauncey had been sitting not in Principal Skeeves' run-of-the-mill wheelie chair but in the elegant, hand-carved rocking chair King Mune got his wife for their anniversary. After a long day's work, Lake would love to sit in it on the balcony and watch the sunset, often with Comet sitting on her lap.
"Ohhohohoho! This has gotta be the thing that doesn't belong!" Comet excitedly cheered. "Hey, Glossaryck, I found what we're looking for! You can get us out of here!" Comet waited for Glossaryck to respond from behind him...but no response came.
"Glossaryck? Did you hear me? I said that-Glossaryck?" Comet looked around the room for a moment, trying to find out where Glossaryck was. "Glossaryck? Where'd you go?" That's when Comet looked down at his hand and noticed something about the leash. Or rather, the lack of it, as much of it had been torn off, with parts dangling out of Lil Chauncey's mouth. It didn't take a genius to figure out what had happened. And fortunately, Comet knew that the Pig-Goat couldn't have eaten Glossaryck, so he didn't freak out.
Instead, he freaked out about the fact that he and his mentor had ended up getting separated, despite all of the precautions he'd taken to prevent that from happening.
"OH, CRAPBASKETSSSSS!"
*In Jay's Workspace, RJ "Jay" Writing Ink's in the middle of a meeting with Janna, DAU Kermit, Omnitraxus Prime, and TFS Nappa discussing his plans to try out toontubing/pngtubing.*
Janna: So, let me get this straight: after Slick Goku died, you started binging all of his videos.
Jay: Uh-huh. As many as I could get my hands on.
DAU Kermit: And you became fond of his style of Vtubing.
Jay: Yep.
Omnitraxus: So now you're going to try your hand at it in the hopes that it might boost your channel like you've always wanted?
Jay: Yeah, that sums it up. But I'm serious, you guys. I know that my reactions and facial expressions aren't as funny as some YouTubers are, but maybe more people would pay attention to me if I did it...in cartoon form?
TFS Nappa: Well, I know Takahata101's been doing well Vtubing. And Kaggyfilms, too. Maybe the kid's onto something here.
Jay: Enough about that, though. We need to talk about our plans to go see Creed III. It's stars Michael B. Jordan, and the fighting choreography's inspired by anime. It's a win-win for us.
DAU Kermit: Oh, yeah! I hear that movie's great!
Omnitraxus: I know I'm not actually his father since I'm only voiced by Carl Weathers, but is it weird that I feel proud of him?
Jay: Not at all man, I've been a fan of Michael B. since Black Panther. So let's go buy tickets for it. I mean, after we respond to

NightAroma-To each their own, NightAroma, but I was a fan of Adventure Time. It not only helped launch the Cartoon Network Renaissance, but it came at just the right time to keep me interested in cartoons when I was starting to grow out of them.
And yeah, I'm surprised no one else thought of not separating Star and Glossaryck. And while I was tempted to include more past memories from the previous Kings of Mewni, time contstraints prevented me from doing so. Also, no. I'm not having Maile Flanigan voice Mune. I just can't imagine Naruto being as strict as Mune is.
Julayla-The lore really kicks in next chapter. Be there!
Ted Glass-Trust me, I've got a whole lot of exposition dumping to do next chapter. You'll love it.
You know what to do: fave and follow this story, and follow me on Twitter (JZ-Gaming), Insta (RJ Writing Ink), and YouTube (Jungoguy)
Come back next week to see how Comet's gonna bullshit his way out of this mess!
Oh, and I know I didn't need to include the Attack on Titan reference, but I saw the first half to the series finale last Saturday, and it kicked ass. I wanted it in!
