Keeper of the Wand

All Grown Up

Hey guys! We're finally back with Rose and the gang as their adventures continue back on Earth. What'll happen today? Let's jump in and find out! :D

-Rose's POV-

"Rose, staring at your phone isn't going to make Tom text you back any faster," Star commented.

I looked up in surprise from my phone, slightly embarrassed. Star and I were getting a head start on the night by brushing our teeth now instead of later. But I was taking longer as I kept checking my phone. Tom hadn't responded since I sent some pictures from Beach Day. Though I text him every day asking how he's doing, he hasn't responded.

I sighed, "You're right. But....I'm just worried he's not okay. Things didn't exactly end well when we went our own ways, Star. I just want to know he's having fun and is safe on his vacation."

"He's probably just having so much fun that he hasn't had time to stop and really text you," Star said. She went back to brushing her teeth and I looked at my phone, wondering if that was really the case. Just then, Marco came into the bathroom. He asked, "Rose! Star! Hekapoo just gave me this really cryptic warning about bad things happening on Mewni. Have you heard anything about that?"

As Star finished up with brushing her teeth, I stopped to think about what Marco said. "Noooo... But we should probably ask Eclipsa and Rhea that-"

Star spat out the toothpaste, loudly gasping, "Oh! I promised I'd send them a picture of the babies together!"

Star grabbed her phone and ran out of the bathroom. Marco panicked whispered, "Quietly! They're asleep!"

Marco and I hurried out of the bathroom after her. We all quietly opened the door. "Lil' babies~!" Star whispered in a song song voice. But all of our faces dropped as we saw an orangish-red portal close by the babies' beds. "Heckapoo left the portal opened," Star stated.

"Why is it too quiet?" I asked nervously. We all walked into the room and approached the cribs. We gasped in shocking realization that both cribs were empty. Marco's eyes widen and he looked at Star and I, "Do you think...?"

I looked at the portal, swallowing, "Oh, definitely."

"How long has it been!?" Star panicked. Marco tried to think, "I don't know! Five minutes?! Ten?!"

"They could be grandmas at this point. We got to go!" I said, hurrying into the portal. Marco and Star followed and the three of us were back in Heckapoo's dimension. Where we ended up was a little different; the plant life seemed more living and actually eating floating fairies nearby. "What happened here?" Star asked.

"Who knows? It's been centuries since we were last here," Marco said. I looked and saw that Marco was now back to his buff, adult self in this dimension. Without realizing it, I said aloud, "Hot Marco has returned."

My cheeks flushed red and I cleared my throat, "So, um-uh, where do we even start looking?"

Surprising both Star and I, Marco squishes a fairy between his hands. Using the blood, he smears it on a nearby animal skull. Suddenly, the ground started to shake and I could hear the roll of thunder. Star whimpered in excitement, knowing exactly who was about to appear. In a bolt of lightening hitting the ground, Brunzetta appeared. She stood up, ready for a fight. But Star tackled her in a hug, giggling all the while. "Ahhh! Brunzetta! You look so cool! Duh! Did you missed me?"

Brunzetta smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, who are you again?"

Star stared at Brunzetta, smiling though her Mewni cheeks cracked to show her sadness. I hurried over and pulled Star away, giving Marco room to talk to Brunzetta. He asked her, "Brunzetta! My sister is missing! Do you know anyone that can help me find her?"
