Keeper of the Wand

What to do, What to do

Hey guys! We're back with Rose and the gang as things start to settle down. What will Rose do now that she's finally helped Rhea and Eclipsa not only ascend to the throne, but reunite and reassure the kingdom of Globgor's return? Let's jump in and find out! :D

-Rose's POV-

"Rose!" Star shouted.

I jumped slightly, startled by Star's shouting. I looked up from my book and saw Star standing nearby. I had been in my room since I woke up this morning, looking through a book Tom had given me after the coronation. I relaxed when I saw Star, "Oh, hey Star. What's up?"

"Aren't you going to help Marco and I with the last of his packing?" She asked. I nodded, closing the book. "Sorry, I got a bit...distracted."

I looked down at the book in my hands, frowning slightly. Star furrowed her brow, sitting next to me on my bed. "Have you talked to Tom yet?" She asked. I hugged the book tightly, "N-No, not yet."

"Rose-" Star started, but I interrupted, "I know, I know. I need to talk to him sooner rather than later. It's just...."

I sighed, allowing the book to rest on my lap. I opened it and said, "The thing is, I didn't like the idea of doing this vacation. But...I thought about it some more and told Tom that I think it would be nice to get away. But now that I think about it more and having gone through this dimension book....I-I don't think I want to go."

I closed the book and bent over, covering my face with my hands and resting my elbows on the book. "I'm just....so tired, Star," I said. "I'm so tired after finally getting everything on track for this kingdom. I don't really want to travel. I just want to stay put in one place familiar and-"

"Stop," Star said. I looked up at her in surprise. Star looked at me and, in a serious tone, said, "This is something you need to talk to Tom about; not me. Instead of talking to me, talk to him and tell him soon."

I blinked and smiled slightly, "Since when did you become so mature?"

Star smirked and stood up, "I guess you rubbed off on me. C'mon, let's go help Marco." She extended her hand towards me and helped me off my bed. We left our room and made it to Marco's, helping him with the last of the packing. While Star and Marco chatted, I texted Tom saying that we needed to talk. I pocketed my phone just as I overheard Star say, "Now that I helped you with packing, I need to get packing myself."

"Wait, what?" I asked, turning to her. She looked at me in amused confused, "Yeah. Don't you remember? I said I would be moving back in with Marco's family since everything here is fine."

"Sort of," I muttered. Marco furrowed his brow and walked over to me. He placed a hand on my shoulder, "Hey, if ever you need a place to stay, you know you are always welcome."

I smiled and nodded, "Thanks Marco."

"Well, we better get you on out of here," Star said. Marco nodded, his eyes twinkling with excitement, "Still can't believe I'm going to be a big brother!"

"You're going to be such a good big bro," I reassured him. Suddenly, the door to the room burst open. Janna stood on the other side, with a large stack of....questionable items. "Hey, Diaz. Give me a hand with this stuff, would ya?"

"Janna, what is all that?" I questioned. She shrugged her shoulders, "I've acquired a few...souvenirs." Marco went over to help Janna, with her adding, "Always lift with your back."

We all heard a portal open behind us and Tom stepped out of the flames, with a little winged demon. The winged demon carried two traveling bags, each one packed with the essentials for camping and traveling. Tom smiled brightly at all of us, "Hey guys!"
