Keeper of the Wand

Crumbling Lies

Hey guys! We've finally did it. We reached the 'Coronation' episode! Personally excited for this one as there is a lot to cover. So I'll stop talking and let's just jump in already :D

-Rose's POV-

"I dunno. Maybe it's crazy to think Aunt Moon, I mean mom, would go," I said, looking nervously at the invitation in my hands. Star, Tom and I were heading to where Star's mom and dad lived. They lived close by to the Monster temple and should be easy to find. The invitation in my hand was something Star and I came up with. We found a place to host the ceremony, and I set up a time for it. Star handled the decorations on the invitations and had them copied. Honestly, it was nice to have Star helping me. It felt like the good ol' days when we worked together on smaller matters. Not only Star, but Tom, Marco and even Janna jumped in to help with all of this.

It was moments like these that made me realize I wasn't alone.

But now Star and I had one more task before finishing up. We had assigned Janna and Marco to passing out the other invitations while we went to go visit Aunt Moon. I mean, mom. I shook my head slightly. I still wasn't used to all this. Ever since I had found out about my real mom, I tried just calling Moon as aunt, since she was technically. But...a part of me felt weird doing that. And ever since talking to Star a week ago, I tried calling Moon 'mom' again. But now, that felt weird since she wasn't really my mom but had raised me. I sighed, deciding not to think about it anymore. It was getting too confusing.

Tom placed an arm around my shoulders, suggesting, "I think she'd be crazy not to go to the 'cornonation'". Star nodded in agreement, "He's right. Besides, we should-Wait, what did you call it?"

"Corn-o-nation? That's what it says on the invitation," Tom said, pointing to it.

"What?!" Star and I chorused. We all stopped and looked at the invitation. Sure enough, the word 'coronation' had been misspelled as 'cornonation.' Star looked at me, "Rose! Why did you write that out?!"

"I didn't mean too! I asked Marco to spell check it for me," I snapped. I gripped the paper tightly, muttering, "Ugh, I should've double checked."

"Well, if you think about it, Mewni is sort of the only dimension where that kinda makes sense," Tom said as the three of us kept walking. "We're pretty obsessed with corn."

I nodded, but it still didn't get rid of the mistake I had made. I looked up and realized we were in a village full of Mewmans. I looked at Star, "I thought you said mom lived by herself with Uncle River. I mean, dad."

Star looked around, just as confused as I was. "I thought so too. Where did all these people come from?"

"I think they all live here?" Tom suggested. We heard a group of mewmans laughing as they picked fruit from a stand. The three of us listened to their conversation as it had to do with the coronation. "I hear she's still doing dark magic," The first villager said.

"That's no surprise. And what is her keeper doing allowing her to still study it?" The second one commented. The first villager said, "Doesn't her title as keeper have 'light' in it? Why isn't she being coronated instead? This whole thing is ridiculous."

"Well, I heard that Eclipsa keeps Globgor in a crystal and talks to him every night," The third villager commented. The second one laughed, "Wow. What a monster fangirl."

The three walked away, the second one saying, "I wouldn't go to that cornonation if you paid me!" Tom turned back to me, "See? 'Cornonation'. Totally works."

Star rolled her eyes and I smirked. I looked past Tom and my eyes widen. "Wait, is that Manfred?!" I asked, seeing Manfred leaning against a wooden fence. I hurried over to him as Star and Tom followed. "Manfred!" I called.
