"Star Vs The Forces Of Evil: Tom Vs The Forces Of Love."
ME: It was a nice, sunny day on Earth-Ni. Tom was in the Underworld, at Lucitor Castle, hanging out in his room. It had been three years since Earth and Mewni cleaved together. Star, Marco, Tom, and Janna were all now 18 years old, though they still looked the same. Tom was playing video games in his room until an envelope slid under his bedroom door. He pauses the game and goes over to the letter. He opens it up.
TOM: "Son, your mother and I wanted to let you know that we're gonna be spending some time at our family beach house for the weekend. Also, this weekend, the Underworld is going to have our newly-made Blood Moon Ball! No curses this time-a REAL ball! Maybe you can ask your girlfriend Janna to go? Petey shall explain more to you. Have fun! Love, Dad." Hmm. Petey, what's my dad talking about?
ME: Petey flies into Tom's room.
PETEY: W-Well, Master Thomas, your parents had a discussion about wanting to, uh, "spice up" the Underworld for all demons, skeletons, gargoyles, and more. Like the note said, it'll be the same ball, except there won't be any curses.
TOM: Yeah, I don't wanna make that mistake again. *gasps* Wait!
PETEY: W-What's the matter?
TOM: Ask Janna! I could ask Janna to the Blood Moon Ball! *blushing* But I'm kind of nervous.
PETEY: How did you ask Star to the Blood Moon Ball/Curse back then?
ME: Later that day, Janna was hanging out at Marco's house with Marco and Star. The three were sitting on the sofa, eating a bowl of popcorn. They hear a knock at the door.
STAR: I got it.
ME: Star skips over to the door and opens it. She sees Tom wearing his sunglasses, along with his long-sleeve, white-colored button up shirt under his black-colored jacket, his black pants, and a black tie around the collar of his button up. He flies over to Janna and takes off his shades. He puts them in his jacket pocket.
TOM: Hey, Janna, I'm here to take you…
ME: Tom uses his fire to show a crescent moon.
TOM: *whispering* …to the Blood Moon Ball.
STAR: Wait, but wasn't it the Blood Moon Curse?
MARCO: And didn't you regret doing that to us and Star?
TOM: Yes, but my parents just made a new ball! A one where there are no curses whatsoever!
ME: Janna stands up from the couch.
JANNA: Well, I'd hate to disappoint you… okay, sometimes I like to disappoint you, but this time I don't, so… no.
TOM: Huh?
JANNA: Balls? Not my thing.
TOM: But it's a ball in the Underworld! You love that place!
JANNA: True, but I'm just not into those fancy-shmancy, cheesy romance occasions. Sorry, babe.
TOM: Look, just use this bell to get you there, okay? You toll it, and my flying elevator will come out of the Underworld to pick you up! Sounds good?
JANNA: Eh, no thanks.
TOM: *growls*
JANNA: Dude, it's just a ball.
TOM: *sigh* I know, I just wanna show you a good time! Okay, I just realized how dumb that sounded.
JANNA: I'm sure we'll find something even better to do. Well, I better get back home.
STAR: Bye, Janna Banana!
MARCO: Later.
TOM: A-At least bring the bell!
JANNA: Ugh, fine.
ME: Tom smiles as he hands the bell to Janna. Janna opens the door and leaves.
MARCO: I never thought I'd say this, but maybe Janna's right.
TOM: Huh?
STAR: Marco, do you have a fever or something?
MARCO: Maybe she and Tom will find something more fun!
TOM: Or maybe I should try a different approach! *snaps fingers* I got it!
ME: Tom uses his fire portal to leave. That night, Janna was at her house, hanging out at the table with her parents. The three were eating steak until they heard a knock at the door.
JANNA: I'll get it.
TALA: Okay, sweetie.
ME: Janna opens the door and sees Tom with a rose in his mouth, holding a ukulele.
TOM: *singing* Ohhh, Janna, I love you more than lava. Let me ask you a question: Can you go to the Blood Moon Ball? I swear, we'll have it all. So won't you come join me? After all, we're meant to be. Don't you know that I-
JANNA: Okay, okay, stop. You have a good voice, but you know I don't care for these sappy love songs. Also, what's with the rose?
TOM: It's for you, Mi Amor.
ME: Tom leans his face into Janna's, with the rose still being in his teeth.
TOM: Well?
JANNA: What?
TOM: Take this rose as a token of acceptance… to the Blood Moon Ball!
JANNA: Dude, why can't we just watch a movie together or something?
ME: Tom takes the rose out of his mouth.
TOM: Ah, we've done that stuff plenty of times. The Blood Moon Ball only occurs once every 667 years.
JANNA: Wow, that's a long time.
TOM: Exactly! Come on, let's get ready.
JANNA: Look, Tom, I should get back to my steak.
ME: Janna closes the door.
TOM: Ugh! Come on, man! You haven't even rung the bell! *sigh* Guess I better try something else. But what?
ME: Tom turns to see opossums rummaging through garbage cans.
TOM: Hmm, it is Garbage Day, after all.
ME: As Janna chews on a piece of her steak, another knock comes to the door.
JANNA: *gulps* Oh, come on! Coming!
ME: Janna opens the door and sees an opossum holding an envelope in its mouth.
TOM: Hey, little guy! Mom, Dad, can we keep this little rascal?
TALA: Uh-
ME: Suddenly, dozens of opossums quickly go through the front door.
JANNA: Whoa!
TALA: Ah! Ca-Call an exterminator! Ay, Dios Mio!
JANNA: No! We need to feed them garbage!
ME: Janna and her parents start throwing garbage at the possums, and they thankfully start to slow down as they begin eating the garbage. Meanwhile, Tom was outside of Janna's house, in the bushes.
TOM: Okay, I clearly messed that one up. Well, hopefully I can get her with the next one. I mean, third time's the charm, right? *sigh* Sorry, Janna.
ME: The next day, Tom was hanging out at Marco's house again. He and Marco were in Marco's room.
MARCO: You let possums go into Janna's house?! Dude, that's insane! Even for you! Heck, even for Janna!
TOM: I only meant to send one possum! Fortunately, though, I don't think she knew I did that. D-Don't tell her, okay?
MARCO: I won't. *sigh* Tom, why don't you just take "no" for an answer?
TOM: Why don't you just mind your own business?! I mean, how do you think asking why I don't "just take 'no' for an answer" will help my problem? Look, did you ever think that it'd actually be helpful if you just gave me advice?
MARCO: What is wrong with you?
TOM: *sigh* I… I'm sorry, man. I shouldn't have snapped. I just really wanna do this for Janna and I. With this being an occasion that only occurs once every 667 years, this is basically a one-time thing. What should I do?
MARCO: Maybe you can get her a gift, or have a conversation with her during a romantic dinner, or-
TOM: Dinner? Yes, that's perfect! At least I hope it is. Thanks, bro!
MARCO: Uh, yeah, no problem.
ME: Tom grabs Marco's phone from Marco's hoodie pocket.
MARCO: Hey! Why don't you just use your own phone?
TOM: I accidentally left mine at home. Anyways, let me just dial her number real quick.
ME: Tom dials Janna's number, and then the phone rings.
JANNA: Yo.
TOM: Hey, Janna, whaddya say you and I go get some dinner tonight?
JANNA: Like Britta's Tacos?
TOM: No, no, something much more romantic.
ME: Tom hangs up the phone and gives it back to Marco.
MARCO: You know she didn't even get a chance to answer, right?
TOM: Oh, crap. Hehe, whoops. Well, I'm sure she'll like the dinner anyway.
MARCO: Where are you two going, by the way?
TOM: It's a restaurant called "Fancy-Shmancy". It's located in the Underworld, just across the Lake of Fire.
MARCO: That's the name? Seriously?
TOM: Yeah, it's pretty corny, but all of the demons gush about how amazing it is! Good food, good service, and sweet, sweet romance.
MARCO: Hm, maybe Star and I will go there sometime.
ME: Tom uses his right arm to nudge Marco's left shoulder.
TOM: I'll let you know if it's worth it or not.
ME: That night, Janna walked out of her house, wearing a black-colored, strapless, heart-shaped dress that went a little below her knees. She also wore short-heeled black shoes, and her hair was up in a bun. She uses the Blood Moon Ball bell that Tom gave her and used the little hammer to hit it. Sure enough, an elevator came out of the ground as flames surrounded it.
Janna walks over to the elevator as the doors open. Tom was sitting inside with his arms behind his head and his legs crossed.
TOM: Ready for an enchanting night, milady?
JANNA: Don't call me that, dork. But yes, I'm ready.
ME: Tom reaches his right hand out for Janna. She grabs it as she gets inside the elevator.
DEMON: Which floor?
TOM & JANNA: The bottom.
ME: The two eventually arrive at the Lake of Fire in the Underworld.
JANNA: How are we gonna go over this thing?
TOM: Allow me.
ME: Tom picks up Janna and flies over the lake. Then they walk into the restaurant. Inside, there were chandeliers, rose petals across the floor, spiderwebs on the walls, and skulls for door knobs.
JANNA: I gotta admit, this is pretty nice.
TOM: Yeah, it is. So, shall we take a seat?
ME: Tom and Janna sit at a table together. As they each have skin flakes and garlic spider chow, with a side of demonade, they start talking to each other, which quickly goes to laughing.
JANNA: *laughing* Wait, wait, wait. So-so you're telling-you're telling me that Marco didn't-*wheezes*-Marco didn't win a single point when you two played ping-pong?
TOM: 58 games to 0! *laughing* I-I love the guy, but it was like he wasn't even trying!
JANNA: *laughing* But-but you cheat!
TOM: *laughing* Y-Yeah, so? *sigh* Sorry about the opossums, by the way. There was only supposed to be one.
JANNA: Yeah, that was a whole thi-Wait, what? Whaddya mean?
TOM: Well, I let a possum go to your house so it could deliver you a letter. I was pretty surprised when it didn't just eat the letter, but once it got to your door, I saw a bunch of other possums go crazy in there. Sorry.
JANNA: You're telling me that you let those possums make a mess of my home?! What the heck is wrong with you, Tom?!
TOM: Hey, I-I didn't mean for that to happen!
JANNA: Was this so you could get me to that stupid ball of yours or something? Because if it is, then you're a psycho!
TOM: No, I'm not!
JANNA: Yes, you are, Tom! What kind of boyfriend does that to their girlfriend?!
TOM: Look, I made a mistake!
JANNA: Yeah, clearly! Ugh! You know what, take Star to the ball! Or Marco! Or anyone else but ME!
ME: Janna slams her fists on the table.
TOM: Okay, you're making a scene.
JANNA: I don't care! You let possums get into my home while I was trying to have dinner with my mom and dad! All for that dance! You think I care if I'm making a scene right now, dude? No! Anyone would be mad if someone did that to them! *sigh*
TOM: Well, it's obvious I shouldn't have even said anything.
JANNA: Yeah, no kidding.
TOM: Do you wanna finish our dinner?
JANNA: Just ask for the check.
ME: Later that night, Tom flew Janna over the Lake of Fire again and then the two of them appeared in front of Lucitor Castle.
TOM: Do you… wanna stay at the castle for the night?
JANNA: You know I'm still mad, right?
TOM: Yeah, I had a feeling. *sigh* Janna, I'm so sorry. I-I'm sorry about the possums, the stupid song, and the date. But most of all, I'm sorry for not taking "no" for an answer.
JANNA: And I'm sorry for making a scene at the restaurant. It was pretty cool, though.
TOM: I know, right? Hey, can I ask you something?
JANNA: *shrug* Sure.
TOM: How come you're so against the Blood Moon Ball?
JANNA: *sigh* Dances have never been my thing, and I don't exactly know why. I mean, sure, I find them pretty cheesy and maybe a little… cliche? But at the same time, I've never been to a dance before, so what do I know?
TOM: Well, maybe this could be your first. I mean, you don't have to go, but if you choose to, you might like it. Heck, you might love it!
JANNA: *chuckles* Yeah, maybe. The blood picture thing I heard about did sound pretty cool.
TOM: Oh, there's more! You can drink punch that can melt your flesh off, there's a skeleton you can torture with a mace, soak in the lava hot springs, whip those who won't do your bidding until you see scars on their back, and-
JANNA: *snicker* *laughs*
TOM: What is it?
JANNA: *sigh* Sorry, it's just cute hearing you get so excited about this stuff. You know, this ball does sound more interesting. Now I'm not saying I changed my mind, but I am gonna think about it.
TOM: Really?
JANNA: Yep.
TOM: Yes!
JANNA: *chuckles* Hey, hey, I'm gonna think about it. No guarantee.
TOM: *chuckles* Right, right, sorry. So, want me to take you home? N-Not like that!
JANNA: *chuckles* Yeah, sure.
TOM: Oh, and Janna?
JANNA: Mm?
TOM: You look beautiful tonight.
JANNA: *blushing* Th-Thanks, dork.
ME: Tom and Janna stand up. Tom uses his hands to make a fire portal appear. The two walk through it. A couple days later, Janna was at Marco's house, getting dressed up.
MARCO: You sure you wanna go to the ball, Janna? I mean, it didn't go so well when Star and I, uh, technically went together.
JANNA: Chill, Diaz.
STAR: Yeah, no sweat, boo! Tom's good now.
MARCO: I know, but I don't exactly trust the ball itself.
JANNA: Dude, there's no curse anymore. Tom, nor the ball, is gonna curse me into some creepy love spell.
MARCO: Yeah, but what if something else happens? Like, w-what if-
ME: Star pats Marco's head.
STAR: Oh, Marco. Sweet, simple Marco.
MARCO: Simple?
STAR: You, me, Janna, and Tom have all been through much worse than a dumb curse that isn't even around anymore. It'll be okay.
MARCO: *sigh* Yeah, I guess so. Thanks. Also, simple?
JANNA: Guys?
ME: Star and Marco turn around to see Janna wearing a black-colored, strapless, heart-shaped ball gown. Spiderwebs went across the gown.
STAR: Oh, my gooosh! *squeals* Janna, you look amazing!
MARCO: Yeah, you look nice!
JANNA: Thanks. Well, I better get going.
ME: Janna walks out of the door and holds out her bell. She uses the tiny hammer to ring it and sure enough, the elevator comes out of the ground and opens up. Janna walks inside.
JANNA: To the bottom, demon dude!
ME: Janna arrives at the Blood Moon Ball. She steps out of the carriage and sees Tom stirring a bowl of red-colored punch.
JANNA: How do I look?
TOM: *gasps*
ME: Tom's eyes sparkle as he stares at Janna in awe.
TOM: Wow… y-you look-
JANNA: Beautiful? Cute? Gorgeous?
TOM: All of the above! *clears throat* *blushing* A-Anyways, are you ready?
JANNA: You bet, Lucitor!
ME: Tom holds Janna's left hand as the two go up to a stand. The stand was underneath a giant bucket of blood.
TOM: So, ready to get covered in blood? And don't worry, it's unicorn blood. Not human.
JANNA: *shrug* Ready as I'll ever be.
DEMON: *whispering* Smile.
ME: Tom and Janna close their eyes as the blood splashes all over them.
TOM: *chuckles* Sorry about the dress.
JANNA: Are you kidding? This just makes my dress look even better!
TOM: Well, Janna, may I have this dance?
ME: Janna blushes as she nods. She and Tom go to the dance floor and stand underneath the light of the Blood Moon. Janna places her left hand on Tom's right shoulder while holding Tom's left hand with her right hand. The two look into each other's eyes as they start to dance. Tom does a bow as he winks at Janna, and in response, Janna smiles as she rolls her eyes. Tom then moves his hands onto Janna's hips as he lifts her into the air and spins her around. And as he does that, Janna spreads her arms out. He puts her back down. Janna twirls Tom around and kisses his left cheek. He blushes as Janna wraps her arms around his neck and lays her head on his chest. The two continue to slow dance until the music ends. Everyone applauds them.
JANNA: Well, this was pretty good for a first dance.
TOM: *chuckles* Just wait until we're married.
JANNA: Yeah, like that'll happen.
TOM: *scoffs* Rude.
JANNA: *laughs*
TOM: *laughs*
JANNA: *sigh* So, what now?
TOM: Follow me.
ME: Tom holds Janna's left hand again as he shows her a skeleton that's chained against a wall. The two take turns swinging a mace at him. They hit the skeleton until his bones, including his skull, are on the floor. Next, Tom and Janna go over to the bubbling, pink-colored punch bowl. They take a sip of it, but both quickly spit it back out once they see a cockroach inside the bowl. After they leave the punch bowl, they go over to a torture chamber. They see a blue-skinned, bald demon trying to push a giant boulder up some stairs. A creature wearing a black cloak whips the demon. The only thing you could see on the creature, aside from the cloak, was a skull for a face (along with purple light behind the skull).
SKELETON: Not good enough!
ME: Tom taps the creature's shoulder, and then he turns around.
TOM: Mm?
ME: The creature shrugs and hands Tom the whip. Tom raises his right arm up as he flies into the air, and then he whips the demon so hard, you could not only see his brown jacket ripped, but also a long, red cut on his back.
DEMON: *shrieks*
ME: Tom tosses the whip to Janna. Janna uses her left hand to whip the demon from side to side. Later that night, Tom and Janna were about to leave the ball.
JANNA: *laughs* Okay, okay. Can I just say that that was so much fun? I mean, seriously, it was awesome!
TOM: I know, right? Heck, I don't even know what the best part even was!
JANNA: Well, if you ask me, I'd say the dance was the best.
TOM: Yeah, thank corn for no curses this time, am I right?
JANNA: Definitely. Well, I guess we can head back to Star and Marco now.
TOM: Sounds good, boo. I'll call Star to let her know.
ME: Tom pulls out a phone and starts dialing.
JANNA: Isn't that Marco's phone?
TOM: Hey, I won't tell if you won't tell.
JANNA: Nice.
ME: Meanwhile, Star and Marco were at the house, eating dinner at the table. Star's compact starts ringing.
STAR: Hey, Tom. Oh, cool! Yeah, you can sleepover. You'll sleep by Marco and I'll sleep by Janna. Okay, see ya.
ME: Star hangs up.
MARCO: I take it the ball went well?
STAR: Seems like it!
MARCO: Cool! Hey, have you seen my phone?
STAR: Didn't Tom use it the other day?
MARCO: Aw, come on, man!
The
End.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I do not own the show or the characters. Star Vs The Forces Of Evil belongs to Daron Nefcy and Disney. I was originally gonna have this story end with Tom and Janna "fooling around", but I just simply changed my mind and decided to just have this story be about Tom wanting to take Janna to the Blood Moon Ball. Hope you enjoyed the story!
