21~ // Battle and War [ ENDING ]

Star stood in the front of the gym, beside her two close friends. Marco and Jackie. They all looked to each other, smiling. Even though there were about 200 other students in the room, plus parents and teachers, Star couldn't help but think. "There's almost 300 people in this room, but the only people that I really ever need right now are right here, by my side." She smiled, as they took the school photo. "Star?" Marco peered to her. "Yeah?" She faced him, raising an eyebrow and grinning. "After this could we talk?" He tilted his head. Star felt herself hesitate before agreeing, but she gave a slight nod and a little smile. It was Monday in October, only a few days after the dance incident that took place Friday. So of course, there were still some unaddressed topics they were sorting out. Star bit her lip, almost suddenly anxious to talk to Marco about whatever it was he needed to talk about.
After growing stiff in a crowd of at least 200 kids, preteens, and teenagers, Jackie had already went off to find some refreshments while Marco and Star walked out to the back of the school where the shaved ice stands were and a few people ate their ice and talked. Marco pulled Star aside, as she raised an eyebrow. "What'd you need to talk about?" She asked, casually. "How did Mrs. Davidson take it?" Marco asked. "Oh, that.." Star quieted down. "What happened?" Marco cocked his head. "Well she said it was probably mental trauma about the whole dimension and royalty and demon thing, but she believes the whole everyone is dead and I found out thing.. She's willing to try and believe it, but her husband was in the room and he told me to prove it exists.. I didn't really want to, but like.. My wand started glowing in my bag and it opened a rift in the middle of the room." Star explained, seriously. "Oh god.. How'd they react?" Marco furrowed his eyebrows. "They may or may not have gradually started to believe me as I explained everything else, but that's not the main point here." Star continued. "Then what is?" Marco asked. "Well I was going to tell you this later but I guess since we're already on the topic of Mewni and magic and the wand, I might as well tell you now." Star began. Marco nodded, listening intently on what Star had to say. "Basically, when my wand opened the rift I knew something was wrong because I had this gut feeling that it'd never happened before. My mom never told me about it happening, but I do remember her telling me that when something that's linked to it gets damaged or destroyed, the power and soul inside the wand is able recover it. But I don't ever recall how long it would take. It's happened to the wand itself but I don't know if it has to do with Mewni." Star explained. "Well with the way you put it, you make it sound like it is highly connected to with what's happened to Mewni." Marco responded, trying to piece it together. Star nodded. "See, that's what I thought. So after I was dropped off I decided to go to the supplies closet in the Tech Ed room. You know, to try and find out what was wrong with it. I opened the casing and the heart of the wand seemed like it was overworking itself to the fullest extent." Star furrowed her eyebrows, thinking about it as she spoke. "Maybe it is trying to bring back Mewni." Marco replied, raising an eyebrow as a suggestion. "Exactly. That's why I want to find out, but I don't want to go alone." Star sighed, looking behind her at the shaved ice stand. She peered back to Marco, and continued. "So I was hoping you might come along since I can't really hit up Tom on my mirror phone anymore, and quite frankly, I don't want to." She raised her eyebrow, asking Marco. "When would we though?" Marco questioned, raising an eyebrow as well. "Well if it isn't too much, I don't want to wait and see what's possible if we don't find out in time. So I hope after school back here is alright? And if anyone asks where you're going or where you were, we could always say that we were at the mall together." Star explained. "If you need me to go, I will." Marco stated, giving Star a smile. She smiled a little back, and turned around to see more people coming outside to get the shaved ice. "We should go back inside before it gets crowded." Star stated, readying to walk inside. "Or we could get shaved ice as well?" Marco asked. She turned around and gave a smile. "I call dibs on getting mine first." Star said in a serious tone, as both of them started laughing and ran toward the stand.
