Butterfly Sisters

Paint the Fabric

Chapter Five: Paint the Fabric

Eclipsa was cutting some vegetables for a stew while the members of the High Commission were talking to her about another meeting.

"No." The Dark Queen firmly answered, confusing the other members of the MHC.

"What do you mean no?" Hekapoo demanded as she crossed her arms.

"I am not going to interrupt Glossaryck's duty to train my daughter for something that isn't his fight." Eclipsa firmly answered as she knew her previous mentor very well.

She then tossed the chopped contents for her stew as little flickers of flames burst forth then disappeared.

"But the Rouge Monster problem needs to be dealt with all of us together." Reynaldo countered.

"And it will, by us, not Glossy. If Glossy needed to get involved, he would on his own. But this isn't his problem but ours. We should've dealt with this when we had the chance, but we didn't."

"We were busy with the relationship with the monsters Globgor brought back with him." Omnitraxus spoke through his crystal.

"We will talk more about this at the meeting, without Glossaryck. He needs to do his job and if the threat is as serious as it is, then he will need to train my daughters for the events to come."

"Queen Eclipsa-." The other female member of the High Commission began but was interrupted by the bickering of the Butterfly Sisters.

"I can't believe you, Festy!" Meteora boomed as she kicked opened the door.

"Oh, come on, Mety. It's really not a big deal." Festivia whined as she followed her angered little sister.

"What's going on, my little angels?" The Queen of Mewni wondered as she stirred her stew that steamed and boiled.

"Festivia told everyone my most personal and darkest secret!" Meteora growled as her tail flicking in irritation.

"What? That you still sleep with your teddy bear, Bobo? And I didn't tell everyone, just everyone we knew, including Mom and her club buddies and like I said, I was sorry. Now, how about we forget all this and-."

"I don't care, Fest! I will never forgive you for this, ever!" The Monster Princess screamed.

Festivia looked incredibly guilty as they heard their mother sigh.

"Now, Meteora, Festivia said she was sorry. It is a very bad idea to hold grudges, especially with family. The forces of evil can smell it and track you with ease." Eclipsa warned as she took a sip of her stew.

She then suddenly breathed flames as the sisters and the MHC ducked. The dark queen coughed with smoke coming from her mouth.

"Baa!" Lekmit bellowed as he patted away the flames that were caught by his wings.

"Sweet corn, Eclipsa! What spell are you making?" Rhombulus gasped.

"It's not a spell, just a recipe from Globgor's side of the family. I wanted to try it. Hmmm... Not spicy enough, I need to refresh myself on the recipe book."

The daughter of Solaria then looked through the old book and noticed what went wrong.

"Of course, I forgot the Ember's Peppers! They are the key part of the stew. They are spicy enough to break any magical spell. Sadly, they only grow in Dimension X-103." Eclipsa huffed then turned to see her daughter and had an idea, "Dears, could you go with Hekapoo and get them for me?"

"I'll go with Hekapoo alone, Mom." Meteora growled as Festivia looked a bit deflated.

"No, Baby Smooth, this is a two Princesses Mission."
