The Prince's Desire

"Dad!?!" I exclaim, "why are you here!?!"

"You're alive," he cries tears of joy, "you're alive."

"Are you with Moon?" I demand, the others getting up, ready to take River in if he's against us.

"I left her," River sighs, "the woman I love is gone. There's only... that husk. I've already lost my wife and my daughter. I won't lose you too."

"Dad," I smile, "it's me. It's Star. Comet's on Mewni impersonating me. That was my plan. I kept my promise and got out."

"River?" A voice asks, Riley exits the forest and approaches us, "guys?"

"Riley?" Tiffany asks, "what the Hell?"

"Who else is there?" Johnson asks.

"My guess this is everyone," Jim smiles, "I mean who else do we even know?"

"So what's going on here?" River asks.

"I'll tell you guys what's going on," Riley exclaims, "Comet's gone off the deep end! The Ballard went awful! Let me tell you..."

I sit next to Moon, trying not to go off and kill her right now. I recall the dark spell I tried to use on Heinous. In truth, I don't know it, all of it. It was a bluff really, to get him to jump himself since I didn't have the means to kill him, and with Eclipsa gone (good riddance) I never will have that spell. I'll have to try some other way.

Moon has broken down now. She is weeping, howling like a mother wolf who's pups were slaughtered. Huckleberry and Lekmet take her away.

I feel... something. I... she's different. She's acting different. Moon doesn't cry. That woman is not Moon, and not who I wish to kill.

"Comet?" I hear a voice, "are you OK?"

I turn to see Rhombulus, with a concerned expression.

"I'm sorry what?" I whisper.

"You're not Star," Rhombulus replies, "how you been kiddo?"

"Don't talk like we're friends," I hiss, "and how did you-"

"Your glow comes and goes to much," Rhombulus replies, "you're clearly not cursed. If you were, you'd have killed Riley. I'm innocent, not stupid. So uhhhh... where's your sister?"

I look to make sure Lekmet isn't paying attention. She's not. I, with no hesitation, throw Rhombulus from the balcony.

"Let this be a lesson to you all!" I exclaim, trying to act cursed, "I am Star! Heir to Mewni! Any who question me will die! I spared Riley only that she may suffer in exile! So any dare question me like the fool before you!?!"

The crowd is silent now as I head back inside...

"She'll kill you!" River pleads, "you got, what, half a wand and your wits? This is coming from me Star! This is crazy!"

"Only if she goes alone," Marcie gets up, "I'm going with her."

"Then I'm going to!" Johnson exclaims.

"If we go in a really big group it'll go really badly," Riley reminds, "besides, I told you guys what I said in that song so..."

"Yeah let's talk about that," Johnson replies, "you have anything to say about that?"
