Flipped Star

Hoping through Dimensions with a Pony CH.5

The group found themselves standing in a dimly lit room. Loud music blasting throughout. A brightly lit floor in the middle of everything where tons of people were dancing. As the kids' eyes adjusted to the darkness they realised that they were not in a room. Instead, there were floating in the night sky. The floor solid clouds tapering into the abyss.

Star stared at the brightly lit dance floor her face uncomfortable.

"Oh, we are in the bounce lounge" Star muttered.

"A what?" Marco asked amazed by his surroundings.

"Oh, it's like the best place to party." Pony Head explained floating to words one of the nearby seats.

"I hate it here," Star muttered staring at the ground.

Pony head side guiltily. "Come on Star, it's fun. Let yourself get loose."

"Yeah, Star, this place seems awesome. How can you hate it?" Marco asked excited.

"I hate how loud the music is. I hate how dark it is. And I hate dancing the way they dance. How are you even supposed to call that dancing?" the girl gestured towards a group of women having the time of their life.

Marco frowned, "Oh come on stop being so uptight." Brunette grabbed Star's hand. "I'll show you how to enjoy a place like this. Believe me, I'm a professional in this area," Marco smugly explained dragging start to the busy dance floor.

Star hopelessly tried to pry Marco's hand off hers, resisting being dragged to the dance floor. As all that failed, she turned to Pony Head. "Pony please help! This man wants to torture me," Star pleaded, her voice in distress.

"Go have fun," Pony heads smiled.

Marco dragged Star to the dance floor. Then the brunet tried to explain how to move following the music. He was trying to sound deep and poetic. Like a sensei in a kung-fu movie, explaining his pupil intricate moves. Sadly, Star was not susceptible to the teaching methods of the 90s martial arts' film. She stared at Marco her hands crossed, face displeased.

Pony head followed Marco's attempt at teaching Star with a giant grin on her face. It was sweet how much the earthling tried, but Pony Head knew he will never succeed. After all, she never managed to explain to Star how to enjoy the bounce lounge. And Pony was Star's best friend since both of them were tiny. How would a human who barely knew Star make any progress where the Princess Pony Head made none?

Please, with herself, Pony Head floated to the nearest bean bag chair.

Princess plopped herself into the comfy seat. Her horn sparking to life and a small portal appearing. The book on history of St. Olga's school gently floated out of the gap in space and cracked open.

The thick book was already halfway done. Speed reading was one of Pony Heads countless talents. But even with such great talent, the book was exhaustingly boring. A dry retelling of the dimension's discovery. Academies creation. Schools transformation from a correctional institution to a prestige's house of learning. And histories of the headmistresses through the school's existence.

Unicorn's attention was kindled as she reached the section she was looking for. The chapter on the current headmistress, Miss Heinous. The start of the chapter listed all her achievements and as Pony Head turned to the next page she read...

All the text on the next page was redacted. All the text covered in black lines, not a word readable. Pony Head flipped through the book. Every page after the start of Heinous's chapter was redacted. Not a word left untouched. Pony head closed the book and stared at its back cover flabbergasted. She frowned and took a deep breath. Then carefully went through all the redacted pages once more.

Everything was redacted except for a few words. Those being 'Mewni' and 'King's Crown.' Pony Head's frown deepened. "Mewni? How is Mewni connected to St Olga's?" Pony Head muttered to herself. Instinctively she lifted her head to check on Star. It took a moment for Pony Head to find her friend in the giant crowd but when she did Pony princess froze.

Star was in the midst of dancing, a giant grin on her face. Marco pleased with himself was rocking next to the blond.

Pony Head could not comprehend how could this happen. She tried to explain to Star that clubs are cool and fun. How dancing in them was relaxing because you didn't need to follow strict steps. But Marco the boy that was in Star's life for less than a month managed to do what she couldn't do in 10 years of friendship.

A mixture of emotions brewed inside Pony Head as she averted her eyes from Star. She stared at the crowd of people for a while. Princess's mind placing a miserable expression on her face. Pony head snapped out of her trance when she saw three pairs of glowing red eyes approaching Star and Marco. The unicorn rushed to Star the book flying into Pony Head's pocket dimension.

Pony Head almost rammed herself into Marco. "Hey, you know I actually hate this place. Let's go somewhere else," Pony Head said nervously.

"Oh come on we haven't been here for long. We finally got to a cool place, and you want to go so quickly" Marco complaint.

Star was concerned with her best friend. "Pony Head are you OK? You seem worried."

"Me? I'm fine just, just..." Pony Head looked back. The broad-shouldered men were dashing through the crowd straight to the three. "My head hurts let's go." Pony Head puled the dimensional scissors and opened a portal.

Star looked at where Pony Head glanced. "Is someone chasing you?" The princess asked worried.

"Me? No. Why would anyone chase me?" Pony Head said panicking. She looked back to see broad-shouldered creatures running towards them. Pony Head squeaked and shoved Marco and Star through the portal.
