A/N: I wanted to skip this but I got hit by inspiration on possible world building so here you go.
Heads up an obnoxious horse head rears her face here.
There was a time when Luz actively tried to make friends...
It went as well as one expected. Most of the other kids only approached her because of her status as princess.
It was why she hated her "gift". It allowed her to read people's intent. Every thought they had in mind, she could see how majority of them were only told to befriend her by their greedy parents hoping to gain favor with the royal family.
And she did try to see the best in people but it's hard when most of the time she only saw greed and many other vile and horrible thoughts within people's mind
It disgusted her.
She once considered just carving her own eyes out to unburden herself with her "gift"
She remembered when her sister had not hesitated to behead a monster just because she spoke of his intent to steal from them...
She took solace in her dolls. There were no thoughts within them for her to read...
Who needs friends anyway?
Luz actually liked Willow's Dads.
They were really nice. She was really touched when they greeted her so warmly. Although she almost punched the bearded one out of reflex when he suddenly enveloped her in a bear hug
She could see where Willow got her kindness from at least.
Willow's dads had already been informed that she would be staying with them so it was a good thing she actually went with Willow otherwise she probably would have gotten in trouble.
And she didn't really want that to happen. She knew she can be cold sometimes but she wasn't cruel.
She had learned that they were usually busy with their jobs which left Willow to her own devices but she could see that they all love each other regardless.
A part of her was jealous but she quickly pushed down that feeling.
But for tonight though, they had the house to themselves since Willow's dads left for a date night.
That left the two of them to their own devices.
Willow was busy with something in her room which left Luz free time.
She lets out a hum as she performed maintenance on Ms. Caretaker. While she had not taken any significant damage during the battle with Luz it was better safe than sorry.
She proceeded to open up the compartments.
The blades were still in working order as well as the other weapons stored within.
The joints were fine.
The Lacrima crystal was functional. Fortunately there doesn't seem to be any damage to it which was a relief.
While Lacrima wasn't exactly rare, the fact that it's a natural resource exclusive only to Mewni and a few select realms would make it quite difficult for her to get her hands on new ones plus the particular crystal she had used for her puppet was quite rare and it would be even more difficult to find a replacement while she was off world.
Perhaps she could find a substitute in the demon realm in case anything happened to the one she has. Though she has doubts she could find one. What made Lacrima a unique resource was how they were essentially magical crystals that allowed her people to use them to create magical equipments and enchantments. She remembered how her mentor explained it was because of Mewni's connection to the realm of magic that allowed Lacrima to grow naturally on her home dimension. As a result it was pretty much part of her people's everyday life.
She glances at Caretaker's mask. She considered removing it to inspect the puppet's head but...she decided not to.
She then turns towards Zulu who was lying on her bed, unmoving right next to her wand.
She walks over to pick the two up when there was a knock at the door.
"Hey, Luz it's Willow. My dads called and said they will be late so we should eat dinner ahead of them. You coming?" came Willow's voice.
Hearing this Luz immediately picked up Zulu and placed her on her hand. The doll's glowed for a moment before seemingly coming to life
"We'll be right there! We're just finishing up on maintenance!" Zulu called out before looking down on the Caretaker doll.
They gave them an odd look for a moment "We should get going Luz. Don't forget the wand"
With a nod, Luz attached the wand to her belt before leaving her room
When Willow had first found out that Luz was actually a princess she had been afraid that her new friend would be..."spoiled".
So she had been relieved that it wasn't the case when she got to know the girl better.
While Luz and her strange doll Zulu was nice enough one thing she learned about the girl was that she was extremely...anti social.
It was to the point that Luz only seemed to talk through Zulu and that without it she doesn't speak herself beyond saying a few words but never an entire sentence when she does need to speak.
A part of her wonders if Zulu was actually sentient but she thought it would be rude to ask.
Besides she found it both endearing and strange.
She also noticed that Luz seemed to avoid social interactions that most of the time that when she's not being talked to or interacted with she either kept to herself or often in her room working on her puppets which filled the room to the brim.
She remembered how creeped out she was when she walked in the first time. As soon as she took one step inside every single doll and puppet in the room turned their head towards her. She had immediately froze in place due to some unseen pressure until Luz and Zulu had snapped her out of it and promptly apologized and explained something about how her puppets are enchanted to ward off intruders.
So...yeah she now avoids entering Luz's room when possible.
All in all though? She really liked Luz as a friend. Despite the girl's creepiness and her puppet's intensity they were pretty nice.
Plus Zulu had started to call her bestie which was pretty sweet to be honest.
"Oh my corn, Willow, this is so good!" Zulu compliments her as Luz took another bite of fairy pie with a satisfied look
Willow blushed at the compliment "Thanks. My dad taught me this recipe...by the way I forgot to ask but what track are you going to be taking?" she couldn't help but ask curiously. She had recently learned that while Luz was officially enrolled, Bump had informed them that she won't be going to school until next week since he still needed to handle her paperwork.
"Track? Oh yeah that weird rule you guys have about only being allowed to study one type of magic which by the way is a dumb rule" Zulu said bluntly while Luz continued to eat but was paying attention "We wanted to take all of them since we are supposed to be mastering magic but Bump said no so...I don't know. Construction sounds cool though but I'm kinda interested in beast keeping, and Healing is rather useful and would work quite well with my current spells"
"Well you should decide soon" Your class is in a few days right?" Willow asked
Zulu was about to speak when there was a knock at the door
"I'll get it" Willow immediately got up to open the door.
Willow opened up the door, but saw no one. She looked around doing another sweep before spotting what looked like a floating unicorn head.
"Yo four eyes! Is this where lose- er Luz staying at?" the floating horse head asked in an obnoxious tone that reminded Willow of Boscha
"Uh...Luz! There's a floating unicorn head out here looking for you!" Willow called out
"Floating unicorn head? Fuck!" Came Zulu's voice followed by the sound of quick footsteps approaching.
Before Willow could even react Luz and Zulu were now by her side with a knife aimed at the floating horse head much to her shock
"What the hell are you doing here Ponyhead?" Zulu said in a hostile tone while Luz glared as she pointed the knife at Ponyhead's neck who wasn't even remotely bothered
"Yeah, hello to you too, weirdo. And here I thought you were the nice one."
Zulu let out a growl before Luz lowered the knife
"Well aren't you going to introduce me to your new friend?" Ponyhead said with a smirk.
Zulu and Luz lets out a sigh before the former spoke up "Willow Park, let me introduce you to Princess Pony Head. She's the heir to the Cloud Kingdom, one of the neighbouring kingdoms of the Butterfly Kingdom. We've known each other since… since we were kids"
"Oh!" Willow laughed nervously. She could feel the atmosphere getting thicker with the tension between the three. "So you two are childhood friends?"
"As if!" Zulu immediately answered while Luz and Pony glared at each other "Like we would ever be friends with an obnoxious bully!"
"Oh I'm the bully? Last I checked I'm not the one who verbally assaulted someone for touching your creepy ass toys!" Pony retorted earning a gasp from Luz while Zulu growled in anger
Seeing how the situation was about to escalate, Willow immediately got between the two in hopes of de-escalating the situation "Woah! Easy you two. You wouldn't want to do anything you might regret right?"
Luckily Ponyhead and Luz backed away from each other with a collective scoff. Zulu though flipped off Ponyhead much to Willow's chagrin.
"Why are you even here Ponyhead?" Zulu questioned in a neutral tone though there was a hint of hostility in it.
Ponyhead looked like she was going to say something snarky again but instead lets out a sigh "It's...that time of the month again"
"That time of the month?" Luz and Zulu were both puzzled before they had a look of disgust "Oh gross!"
"Not that you idiot!" Ponyhead said bewildered at the assumption
Luz seemed to have a look of realization having realized what Ponyhead was talking about "Oh...you meant the other one. Yeah that's not happening" Zulu said while Luz turned her head with a "hmph!"
"Oh for the love of- You know that's not how it works! I wouldn't even be here if I didn't have to!" Ponyhead exclaimed in an annoyed tone
Willow though was confused at what they were talking about "Um...what are you guys talking about?"
Ponyhead lets out an annoyed sigh "It's a date"
Now Willow was confused "A date? But I thought you two don't like each other?" From what she saw that seemed to be the case unless she was missing something
"We don't" Zulu answered
"Then why-"
"Look its not as simple as that" Zulu also lets out an annoyed sigh "Luz and Pony's parents knew each other and when they were young..."
"Our parents wanted us to get together." Ponyhead finished before she and Luz lets out a collective groan
"Yeah." Zulu dejectedly concluded while Luz nodded with a frown
"You two…" Willow looked at the two of them. For a brief moment she got a mental image of Luz and Ponyhead on a date while trying to kill each other.
"It's never going to happen" Zulu bluntly said while Luz nodded, "Luz's mom and Pony's dad knew each other as kids. Our families had a good relationship for generations so if they were to get together, our kingdoms would be united and become stronger"
"But like she said it's never going to happen!" Pony Head yelled, "I could do so much better!"
Luz gave an offended look, "But our parents still want us to get together every once in a while even if we don't want to. So it's more like a play date nowadays" Zulu added
"Why?" Willow asked
"It's mostly just because they think we will at least be a good influence for each other." At the last part Luz actually rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, so every once in a while, we have to go on these dumb play dates and just hang out for a while." Pony Head explained, "But if we're going to do this we have to do this right." Pony Head spat out a pair of scissors with a red heart shape handle. "Let's go to the Bounce Lounge."
"Is that a pair of dimensional scissors?" Zulu questioned while Luz stared in surprise at the sticky pair of metal. "Where did you even get a pair?"
"Oh, you know, a gift from my daddy." Pony Head said innocently.
She paused and looked at Willow, "How about you girl? Wanna come? You seem cool like why are you even hanging out with this weirdo?"
"R-Really?!" Willow paused realizing what Ponyhead said was a backhanded compliment. She looked at Luz who was now more visibly annoyed at Ponyhead "I mean if Luz wants to sure..."
Luz took a deep breath. She was not liking where this was going
Pony Head picked the scissors with her tongue and used them to create a swirling purple portal.
"Wow. Is that?" Willow couldn't help but ask excitedly. She had learned from Zulu that it was thanks to these portals that they were able to jump dimensions provided they have dimensional scissors.
"A portal to another dimension yeah." Zulu explained, "Look Pony as much as we want to, which we don't." Zulu said sarcastically "We can't go, we're supposed to stay here to practice our magic so yeah you can go party on your own and maybe take down another civilization while you're at it" Luz waved off Ponyhead with a smug smile
Pony Head rolled her eyes, "If you say so.I'll just go tell daddy that you didn't want to come. Then daddy can tell your mother dearest what happened. I'm sure that will end really well for you" Pony Head said with a mocking fake smile.
For a moment there was a flash of fear in Luz's face before it was immediately replaced with anger as she clenched her hand into a fist. Zulu also shared the sentiment "You wouldn't dare!"
"Watch me" Ponyhead then pulled out her mirror phone "All it takes is one call. What's it gonna be?"
Meanwhile Willow could only watch nervously as the situation began to get tense once more. She wanted to intervene but was interrupted by Luz and Zulu
With a heavy sigh Luz let her shoulders drop, "Fine, let's get this over with." Zulu grumbled
With that the group quickly left, Pony head leading, Willow hesitantly following and Luz with a frown while Zulu looked like they wanted to commit murder.
Suddenly not a few seconds later, another portal opened up where the group just were and three tall figures stepped out of them. One of them knelt, looking down at the sparkle dust left by Pony Head.
"Glitter. She was here." The robotic voice commented before they entered the portal again and left.
Luz, Zulu, Willow, and Ponyhead fell through the portal until they reached their destination which appeared to be some, purple clouds surrounding some floor.
Luz and Pony managed to land safely in the clouds, but Willow missed them and nearly hit the floor if it wasn't for Ponyhead unexpectedly using her magic in her horn to stop the witch girl from cracking her head on the floor by levitating her
"Woah careful four eyes! You almost landed on your face" Pony said with a snort as she placed Willow on her feet.
"Thanks, but where are we?" Willow asked before she looked around, she saw that they were in some sort of... nightclub?
There were beanbags, a bar, couches, and lights hanging from the ceiling. It was then that she realized that the whole thing was on some clouds and filled with beings of different shapes and sizes, including what appeared to be a white horse standing on it's hind legs serving as the DJ as people were dancing or just chilling on the sidelines talking with each other creating a fun yet very laid-back and chill atmosphere.
"Wow" Willow couldn't help but gape. She couldn't believe. She was in a whole other dimension. Gus would be so jealous.
Willow was pulled from her thoughts though when she felt herself pulled by Ponyhead towards the dance floor.
"Come on girl, let's dance!" Ponyhead as she dance(floated?) to the music.
At first Willow was hesitant to do so but after some words of encouragement she started to let lose and have fun dancing. She didn't want to admit but she was beginning to like Ponyhead even if she and Luz didn't like each other.
However it didn't take long for Willow to realize that something was missing. It was Luz and Zulu.
She looked around and spotted her by a table absentmindedly reading a book while Zulu was unmoving.
"Luz!" Willow yelled, trying to be heard over the loud music. "Luz! Come and dance with us!" She was hoping to help Luz relax and let lose
Luz waved her off before Zulu came to life to answer, "No thank you. We are not one for dancing.
Not wanting to push it, Willow resumed her dancing with Ponyhead.
"So what's your name again? Willow, was it?" Pony Head questioned her new friend.
"Yeah, is your name really Ponyhead?" Willow asked curious
"Actually, my name is… you know what?, just call me Pony Head and you know?" Ponyhead smiled "I'm surprised Luz is friends with you. You're actually pretty cool. I thought for sure you would be some weirdo but I was wrong"
"Um...Thanks?"
The two of them got to talking more and had unexpectedly clicked instantly. Neither of them remembered the last time they connected with someone this fast.
The two of them were having so much fun until Willow noticed that Luz had disappeared from her seat.
"Wait where did Luz go?" She asked worried.
"Ah who cares about that turd? She's probably off doing all sorts of weird stuff" Ponyhead said with a scoff "Lets ditch that girl. I know this awesome place called the scum bucket. You're gonna love it girl!" she said as she used her scissors to open another portal and signals for Willow to enter.
Willow opened her mouth to scold Ponyhead for planning to leave Luz when a voice from behind caught their attention.
They turner around and saw that it was Luz and Zulu who both had unimpressed looks on their faces.
"Well good to see the two of you are getting along quite nicely at least" Zulu deadpans
"Oh there you are. We were just about to get you" Ponyhead says in an obviously fake sincere tone
"Well can't say I'm surprised when it's you of all people"
At Zulu's words Ponyhead was visibly offended and now there was tension building up again as Luz and Pony got in each other's faces growling.
Hoping to find a way to calm the two down, Willow spotted what looked like a photo booth "Uh uh...look guys a photo booth! Why don't you guys take some pictures!" she laughed nervously as she pushed them into the booth.
Willow immediately left them alone, hoping that the photo booth can ease the tension between them.
Inside the photo booth the two royals continued to glare at each other.
"Why are you doing this?" Zulu questioned while Luz looked away.
"Because Willow is pretty fun. I actually like-" Pony began to explain but was cut off by Luz
"No!" Luz suddenly yelled taking Ponyhead by surprise "You. said. last date was. last one"
The Photo booth suddenly flashes taking a picture of both of them making faces at the camera with words 'Best Friends' flashing onto the newly taken photo.
"Look I just..." Pony hesitated "wanted to visit an old friend"
Zulu scoffed "I don't know if you've noticed Ponyhead but last I checked we are not friends"
They both paused as another picture was taken. They were hugging and smiling as the words "Night to remember!" flashed.
"You are so insufferable you know that?!" Ponyhead yelled
"I'm 'insufferable'?!" Zulu scoffed, "That coming from the obnoxious horse head herself? You should watch what comes out of your mouth"
"I've had it with you! You always think you're so better than me!" Pony exclaimed
"Fine! You want to settle this?" Zulu challenged as Luz braced herself
"Yes!"
"Good, Magic Duel! Winner gets to make one request the loser has to do."
"Fine!" Pony said assured, ready to use the reward so she would never bother her again.
"Let's go!" Pony head pulled out the scissors and created a portal in the booth they both used.
As the portal closed another open and three familiar robotic figures stepped out.
They spotted Willow who was pacing outside of the Photo Booth and quickly walked up to her having noticed glitter residue on her.
They placed a hand on her shoulder and as if on cue the music stopped and everyone ran off at the sight of the robots.
"Uh...Hi?" Willow laughed nervously at the three robots in front of her
One of the robot guards wiped a finger on her shoulder wiping off some glitter which Willow noticed were the same glitter that floated behind Pony head.
"You will tell us everything you know."
When Luz and Zulu exited the portal they realized they were standing outside the forest of certain death. She could see her kingdom in the distance, the magical barrier that protects it shining in the night.
"You brought us here?" Zulu said as Luz pulled out her wand.
"Well I would have brought us to where we first me but you and I both know that's not possible" Ponyhead said as her horn began to glow. "Now enough talking. Let's settle this once and for all. On the count of three"
"1" Zulu said not hesitating as the wand began to glow in Luz's hand
"2" Ponyhead said
"3!" both shouted in unison as they both shot out a blast of magic.
Meanwhile...
Willow was not having a good time.
The three robots had tied her up to a chair and was now interrogating her.
They had demanded to know where Ponyhead was and of course she did not answer which angered their leader who then told his goons to make her talk.
She had been expecting the worse but instead of performing some brutal torture on her they had instead proceeded to perform all manners of act that was at worse...annoying. Said act they were doing was repeatedly turning a lamp on and off in her face.
"Please stop. That is really annoying!" Willow exclaimed as the robot continued to flash the lamp in her eyes. She was hoping that Luz and Ponyhead would come back soon.
"Then tell us where the horse head is!" the leader once again asked
"I told you I don't know!" she answers. She tried desperately to use magic to escape but unfortunately her hands were literally tied behind her back.
"What's going on here?!" came a loud voice
The three robots turned around to see what looked like a teenage girl with brown skin, no apparent nose, and long bushes aquamarine hair that was tied in a pony tail and was reaching down to her ankles. She also had what looked like a large sword strapped to her back.
"This does not concern you Woolett" the leader growled.
"Please you gotta help me! These guys are crazy!" Willow called out to the girl in a pleading tone hoping that they would help her. Luckily her prayers were answered when the Girl's eyes widened before they pulled out her sword.
"I don't know what's all this about but you creeps better let go of that girl" the girl challenged as she got into a fighting stance
"Get her!" The leader snapped his fingers before his goons charged towards the girl who also did the same while letting out a war cry.
Back with the two royals...
"Take that!" Ponyhead yelled as she shot another rainbow blast towards Luz who simply cartwheeled out of the way "Damn it stop moving around so I can hit you!"
Their fight had been going on for a while now. While neither of them had been able to land a solid hit both of them were beginning to get tired as they felt their respective energies dwindling
"What's wrong Lilacia? Getting tired?" Zulu said mockingly as Luz panted.
"Oh bringing my first name into this? How about we end this once and for all Luzer!" Ponyhead exclaimed as she charged up her horn for one final attack.
"Fine! Don't blame us if we kill you! But for the record you won't be getting a funeral!" Zulu called out as Luz also charged up a spell
Then the two princesses unleashed their attacks which met head on. Neither one relented as the two blasts tried to overpower one another.
Unfortunately the two blasts suddenly merged into an orb as it began to get bigger and bigger. Both Pony and Luz had a look of horror on their faces as they realized what was happening
"Stop it!" Ponyhead shouted
"We don't know how!" Zulu called out
It didn't take long before the orb suddenly let out a powerful shockwave of magic.
Without thinking Luz suddenly dashed right next to Ponyhead and conjured up a shield to protect the three of them but unfortunately they were still sent barreling towards the trees before they both dropped to the ground next to each other as they let out a collective groan.
After a moment Luz and Pony finally got up to sit down, both catching their breath. They said nothing to each other as they rested.
"You...saved me" Ponyhead whispered just enough for Luz and Zulu to hear "Why?"
Neither Luz and Zulu said anything as the former raised her wand and healed her injuries after which she moved on to Pony's injuries
Ponyhead could only watch quietly as Luz healed her injuries. She opened her mouth to speak but Zulu beat her to it.
"We...We're not our sisters. We don't kill someone just because they pissed us off" Zulu explained as Luz looked away sadly.
"Well you're right about that. Your sisters...I will be honest they scare me girl. But I will say that you're right. You're not like them but you're still a bitch" Ponyhead said before she got a sad look on her face "I grew up hearing all sorts of stories about them so back then when I met you I...really wanted to be your friend but for some reason you hated me"
Luz's eyes widened at that "Pony...we didn't hate you" Zulu said softly
"Yes you did!" Ponyhead suddenly got up "You were always so cold to me! But I wanted to try getting to you but when I accidentally broke one of your dolls you yelled all sorts of mean things to me that I gave up"
Luz looked away. She remembered that day. She had been going through some things back then that she had taken it out of someone who had nothing to do with it. It was one of her deepest regrets. "We were going through something...but we shouldn't have taken it out on you. For that...we are sorry about that...and for everything else that hurt you." Zulu said.
Ponyhead had a strange look on her face upon hearing Luz's apology before she suddenly turned around. "Yeah well you were a real bitch about it but...I'm sorry too about today for dropping in on you and forcing you on this trip...and for calling you Luzer but in my defense you called me by my first name which you know I hate!"
Luz couldn't help but let out a tired laugh at that. She could feel that there was still baggage between her and Ponyhead but it now a lot less than before which she couldn't help but feel relieved about.
The two of them then shared an awkward silence which Luz broke through Zulu "You never told us but...why were you so insistent on taking us on another play date? I seriously thought we were never doing it again after the last one"
"Well I didn't really plan to hang out with you. I was just gonna try and trick you into doing a spell for me. Then I met your friend, Willow and she was really cool. I really liked her"
"Wait, a spell?" Zulu said as Luz raised a brow
"Yeah, I got into a bit of trouble and some people have been hunting me down. I was hoping you could do something about it since you Butterflies are supposed to be good at shit like this. I mean, I can't stay anywhere too long otherwise they might find me"
"Wait they're tracking you?" Zulu asked which Ponyhead nodded "You don't think they would have tracked you down to where we left Ponyhead do you?"
Luz and Ponyhead immediately got a look of panic on their face before they opened a portal to go back for their friend
Despite being tired, Luz and Pony Head had been prepared to fight whatever group was attacking Willow only to pause when they found her sitting on a chair and typing away at what appeared to be a scroll.
Next to her were the remains of broken robots which Luz recognized were from the Machine Dimension. She also noticed that they looked like they had been destroyed with a sword judging by how they were sliced apart
"What happened here? Did you do this?" Zulu asked as Luz and Pony looked around confused
Willow looked up from her scroll and gasped in surprise. "I was looking for you two everywhere!"
"Yeah sorry about that girl. Luz and I were just handling some stuff you know how it is but like she asked what happened here?"
"Oh yeah when I wondering where you were these weird golemd came out of nowhere and tied me up but then this girl with long hair and a sword saved me! I didn't get her name but they called her a Woolett"
"Wait that sounds like-" Zulu began to say but was interrupted when another portal opened up and several more robotic guards rushed out. The trio quickly prepared to fight them off, but then a massive pony head floated out from behind them.
"Cup Cake. Princess Luz."
"Hi Daddy." Pony head greeted him with a sheepish smile
"King Pony Head." Luz bowed.
"What is happening?" Willow asked confused but also awed by the size of Ponyhead's dad.
"It's the end of the line." Pony Head admitted to everyone, "I'm going to St. O's."
Luz gasped, "Saint Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses?" Zulu said as Luz had a look of terror recalling the horrors of the personality ripping establishment which were also rumored to be secretly sucking the life out of princesses. "Pony Head, if you told us that we would have helped you...probably" Zulu added the last part in a sheepish tone.
"Sure you would." Pony said before she suddenly pushed Luz and jumped towards Willow for a hug. "I'm going to the slammer!"
"It's reform school not prison," King Pony head told her, "Though admittedly, it is very much like a prison." he said casually
Pony Head sniffled, "Well, at least I got to make one awesome friend and had some fun."
Willow couldn't help but be touched by Pony's words "I'm so glad to have met you two"
"Yeah," Pony Head said before she suddenly slipped something into Willow's pocket and whispering something in her ear before being pulled back by the guards who had placed reins around her, "This isn't the last you'll see of me, no prison can hold me." she began to laugh maniacally as they dragged her into the portal.
The king paused and looked at Luz and opened his mouth as if to say something to the girl but decided not to. King Pony Head instead sighed, "Kids you have them and then you wish they weren't around." he said before floating into the portal and which closed behind him.
"Wait!" Zulu yelled out. "How are we supposed to get back to the demon realm?"
Willow suddenly let out a grin before she pulled out familiar looking scissors from her pocket, "Would these work?"
Luz couldn't help but gasp "With these scissors, we can go anywhere." Zulu said
"Yeah" Willow said before she got a sad look on her face and looked at where the portal that Ponyhead went through
Luz noticed this "You really liked her huh?" Zulu asked
"Yeah. I know I just met her but she was a really good friend...she reminded me of-" Willow didn't finish and instead shook her head "We should head back. How do these work again?"
"Well" Zulu began to explain while Luz had an idea in her head
Pony Head couldn't help but sigh as she settled down in her room for the next five years. She moved towards the window when all of a sudden Her mirror began to ring before Willow and Luz appeared in it. "Willow? Luz?"
"Hi, Pony Head!" Willow greeted happily. "Luz let me use this magic mirror of his to call you!"
"Yeah," Luz scratched her head as Zulu spoke "I figured since you both got along so well, you might want to stay in touch. No biggie. Consider it part of our apology for being a dick"
"That's...actually very nice of you. Thanks Luz" Pony Head smiled.
"No problem" Zulu said
"Well, Willow tell me what's up! What's it like in the demon realm!" Ponyhead excitedly asked
"Okay, so me and Luz…" Willow began to talk about all sorts of things mostly about how she was going to be switching tracks. Ponyhead didn't understand half of what she was talking about but was more than happy to listen and talk to her new friend
At that point Luz had decided to leave. She was glad Pony was able to make a new friend in Willow, she knew she had been unfair to her so this was her way of making up for it. She had been relieved that they were able to resolve the issue between them to a degree. But what's important was it was finally over...for now.
So yeah I gave you readers something you didn't ask for. Willow and Pony friendship.
In this AU Luz and Pony weren't really friends like Star was with Pony. They straight up hated each other though they've at least reached a truce for now.
Their strained relationship isn't really Pony's fault entirely though as Luz played a part in it with her being anti social as hell when they met.
Pony here is definitely at least nicer towards people that she doesn't have Beef with hence her clicking with Willow even if she did befriend her at first just to annoy Luz, she definitely sees Willow as a friend.
Anyways if you have questions feel free to ask. See you next time!
