Keeper of the Wand

Too Little, Too Late

Hey guys! We're back with another chapter of this beautiful Fan-fiction. Fair warning, from this chapter until the end of the battle of Mewni, things will be intense. So get ready because this emotional roller coaster is going at full speed! :D

-Rose's POV-

I walked into the bathroom, pajamas on and a skip in my step. I walked over to the sink and grabbed my toothbrush. On cue, Marco walked in and grabbed his toothbrush. I smiled at him and we both turned our electric toothbrushes on. A tune started to play from both of them that we knew too well. Our band, Love Sentence, was singing our song, 'Just Friends.'

I glanced at Marco and we both started to move to the beat of the intro. I then held my toothbrush out as if it was a microphone and lip sync, "It was no secret, the way that we feel."

Marco struck a pose and lip sync, "A love that's so pure, a love that's so real."

I sat on the counter and tilted my head back, "You showed me your world, and it felt like a sign."

I jumped off and moved my left arm as a clock as Marco lip sync, "But you acted too slow, and you ran out of ti-i-ime!"

We both spit out the toothpaste into the sink. I took a small cup and filled it with water. I sipped it and gurgled the water in my mouth before spitting it out. As I washed my toothbrush, Marco said, "Oh, man, the only thing cooler than these Love Sentence singing toothbrushes is the fact you got us tickets to see them tomorrow!"

I blushed a little and said, "It's no big deal." The door to the bathroom burst open and Star stood in the doorway, wearing her night gown. "No big deal?!" Star said, gasping. She marched up to me, grabbed me by the shoulders, and started shaking me. "You mean to tell me that standing in front of the line before it even opened for two hours, in the cold morning wasn't a big deal?!"

"Star!" Marco said, grabbing her arms. She stopped shaking me and my vision spun, Marco and Star on the ceiling a few times. I shook my head and said, "Okay maybe it was a bit of a challenge but it's no big deal. You guys are my friend and sister. Besides, Love Sentence is our thing."

Marco smiled and said, "But still, thank you Rose. Well, goodnight you guys."

"Goodnight!" Star and I chorused. Marco left the bathroom and Star looked at me with a mischievous look. "You got her a ticket right?" She asked.

I nodded and smiled, "How could I forget Jackie? She is Marco's girl-"

A twinge of pain hit my heart and I felt tears in my eyes. I coughed and rubbed my eyes. Star tilted her head and asked, "Are you okay? You sure you still want to do this?"

I nodded, saying, "I'm sure. I can't avoid Jackie being with Marco forever. So I should embrace it and support them as the couple they are."

"But if you just tell Marco that you remember-"

I shook my head. "No, Star. It would cause more problems and Marco would be crushed. I don't want that for him. Anyway, goodnight."

I walked past Star, who watched me as I walked up the stairs to my part of the room. "Can I tell Marco now? At least tell him that Jackie is coming too?"

"Go ahead," I said, giving her a thumbs up. She peeled up and ran to her bed, grabbing her phone. I reached my room and walked out onto the balcony. My plant hadn't grown since that evening with Miss Henious. No matter how many times I tried using my magic, the plant wouldn't grow. I sighed and walked back into my room, crawling under the covers. I rested my head on my pillow and closed my eyes.

Tomorrow will be better day. Hopefully.

-Time Skip-

"Rose! Hurry up!" Star shouted up the stairs. I slipped my shoes on and ran down the stairs and out of my room. I ran down the hallway, and slid down the stair railing. I jumped down and said, "Okay, I'm ready."
