Ideal (Star vs The Forces of Evil AU) (editing + finishing the "next episode")

Chapter One

Star was in her room trying to pull her hair up. Today was a very special day! Now that Star was fourteen, she was eligible to have the family's wand be passed down to her. The coronation was in less than an hour, but Star was still getting ready. While Star was trying to conquer the beast that was her hair, her best friend Ponyhead was digging through a chest, finding ribbons and jewelry for the young princess.

"I can't believe you're getting your mom's magic wand!" Ponyhead cried. A red ribbon was dangling from her horn.

"I know," Star said as she took the ribbon from Ponyhead. "It felt like this day would never come, and now ... it's finally here!"

"All your hard work has finally paid off!" Ponyhead chuckled. "Next thing you know, you will be running this place!"

Star smiled nervously. "I know. This is all happening so fast!"

"Oh Star, come here!" Ponyhead said nuzzling Star's neck. Star hugged Ponyhead back. The hug was short, but it was all she needed. "Don't be nervous! You're going to be a wonderful leader!" Ponyhead encouraged.

Star smiled. "Why thank you Miss Ponyhead!" she said while giving an exaggerated curtsy.

"It is an honor to be by your side," Pony said bowing her head.

The two looked up at one another and started to laugh at each other. Even though they were proper princesses, deep down they were still carefree teenagers. Suddenly a knock came from Star's door. It opened shortly after.

"Princess Star," a guard said looking at her. "It's time."

Star stood in front of the castle doors. Once she walked through them, the coronation would start, and the wand would belong to her. She would earn the authority to use its magic for good, and the responsibility to protect it from the hands of evil. Star took a deep breath, then walked into the castle. The hall was filled with people from all sorts of dimensions. There were high-class rulers and poor peasants. They all watched, wanting to see Star take her first step in becoming Mewni's next queen. Star walked down the aisle. Her posture was perfect and every stride she took was smooth and graceful. Her mother and father were at the end of the hall. Her mother, Queen Moon, had a serious look on her face, while her father had a more upbeat look. Star smiled as she saw them. When she reached her parents, she took a knee on the stairs. Her mother lifted the wand above Star's head.

"Princess Star Butterfly," Queen Moon said. "I hereby bestow upon you, our family's wand. This wand has been passed down from generation to generation. By taking it, you are taking the liability upon yourself to help protect your kingdom. Do you accept this wand and the responsibility that comes with it?"

"I accept," Star said.

She reached out for the wand. As Star's fingers wrapped around the wand, it started to glow. The diamond head of the wand morbid into a spere and wings sprouted out of it. In the middle was a bright shining star. It dazzled in Star's eyes. This was it. The wand now belonged to her.

"Thank you mother, I-" Suddenly something whizzed by Star's face. She turned to see what it was. An arrow was pinned to the ground behind her. It had missed her by a hair.

Suddenly a beast jumped through one of the glass-stained windows. It landed right behind the king and queen. The guards immediately advanced towards the beast, throwing lassos at it in an attempt to tie it down. Star watched frozen in fear. What was going on? This can't be happening.

"Star!" Her mother called out. "Run!"

Star snapped back into reality. She turned to her mother. Though her face was serious, her eyes gave away her worried state. Star wanted to stay with her mother, but she knew that she had to leave. There wasn't anything she could do. So she ran.

Star tried to run out of the chapel with the crowd, but she soon found herself caught in the sea of the crowd. She was pushed around bumping into people as the sea of people tried to run out of the building. She had to get out of the castle, but before she could escape a large fly beast picked her up from the crowd. Star screamed as she felt her body leave the ground. She kicked her legs as if that would bring her back down, but it was no use.  Suddenly, Star remembered the wand. She didn't know how to use it, but she knew it was a weapon. She tried to think of a spell.

"Monster begone!" Star yelled, flailing her arm. 

She felt the wand grow warm, but nothing happened. Suddenly a shock went through her hand and she instinctively let go of the wand. No! Star watched in horror as she watched the wand fall into the crowd. She held her breath as the crowd started to thin out. When the crowd was gone, she saw that her wand was safe and untouched. Star sighed in relief seeing that her wand was safe. Suddenly a dark shadow fell over it. A tall dark figure was walking towards the wand.

"Finally," the figure screeched. "After all these years, the wand is mine!"

His hand stretched out to seize the wand when a sharp crystal pierced his hand. While he recoiled in shock from the damage, Queen Moon raced toward the wand. She slid on the crystal floor, grabbing the wand and pointing it directly at the figure. The wand transformed back into the crystal staff it was before Star took hold of it.

"It's over Ludo!" she cried.

Ludo chuckled. "Over? I don't think you understand! That wand doesn't belong to you anymore. This battle may have ended for you, but it has only just begun."

Queen Moon yelled and a light blue beam came out of the wand. Ludo swiftly ducked and made a lunge towards Queen Moon. The Queen sidestep his move, then hit him with a blast from the wand. After Ludo was hit, she then aimed the wand at the fly. The fly dropped Star so it could doge the icy blast of the wand. Star fell to the cold hard ground with a thud. She laid on the ground, waiting for the shock to fade away. As she looked up, she saw that her parents were fighting off the dangerous monsters. Her mother was blasting them with powerful magical spells, while her father took a more physical approach beating the first beast with his fists. Star watched in amazement. She had heard tales of her parent's great feats. She knew they were capable of such incredible things, but she had never had seen them fight with her own eyes before. Once all the monsters were defeated, the castle was empty. It was just Star and her parents. Everyone else had fled. Star's mother turned to look at her daughter, but Star couldn't bring herself to return her mother's gaze.

She had failed.
