Star vs The Forces of Evil: When Dimensions Cleave

Part 3: Unfortunate Implications

Meanwhile, out by the very park that Star, Marco, and their friends were just at, sat a girl. A former proud warrior now disgraced and forced into seclusion. This was the formerly great Mina Loveberry, sporting a long, black leather trench coat covering a tattered light green dress with a cat picture on the front, her pigtails tucked away underneath a black hat, her white gloves sliced and diced, and her bunny earrings long since abandoned. Having been stripped of her Solarian powers and forced into retreat, she successfully found a disguise deemed good enough to conceal her identity so she could return to public life. In her coat & hat, nobody recognized her.

With this outfit, and by keeping a low profile, Mina could theoretically live a normal, peaceful life.

But Mina didn't want normal. She didn't want peace. She craved exactly two things: the satisfaction of a mission accomplished, and revenge.

As she scanned the outskirts of the park, she took notice of all the groups consisting of Earth humans, Mewni Mewmans, and monsters. All of these groups, while clearly not on a "Kumbaya" level of harmony, acted on peaceful and calm terms with each other, socializing with each other, sharing picnic food, playing park games, etc. And yet this behavior still disgusted Mina. Any display of affection, friendship, or even just respect towards monsters was, in her eyes, a crime punishable by brute force or worse.

She stood up in her spot and slowly began to walk away, heading for the exit. A nearby group of humans and monsters attempted to flag her down. "HI! Wanna play Frisbee?" But she ignored them all the same and continued onward. She took the time to examine her new surrounds. It didn't take her long to figure out that the contents of Mewni's world and Earth's world had merged into one mish-mash of a new world. What she wanted to know was how it happened, and why. She believed that finding the answers to those questions would get her closer to a position where she could reemerge as a threat to all monster kind.

Her walk lasted for so long that she almost missed passing by the Butterfly castle. She took a long look at the building, followed by a scowl and a growl. The temptation to march up to the door and confront whoever was in the castle at the moment was great, but ultimately she decided not to. She turned around and continued walking wherever.

Her ventures inadvertently took her to the former Castle Avarius, now the home of Ludo and his brother Dennis. The castle's reconstruction was nearly finished, and Ludo & Dennis were busy playing basketball on their new court and having a blast. But Mina slowly trudging past their castle made Dennis stop mid-play and stare, with Ludo following after. "Hey who's that?" Dennis asked, but Ludo stepped in front of him and slowly started pushing him back.

"I don't know." He said sternly. "But something about her feels very familiar. And infuriating." They resumed their game without a second thought. Their noise drew Mina's attention. Their complete disregard of her and her former status only further fueled her rage. Though everyone continued to be irritated and annoyed by the mere thought of Mina Loveberry, nobody feared Mina Loveberry any longer. It was a thought that infuriated her to her very core. She concentrated her rage towards her walk and passed by the castle without incident.

Her walk eventually took her to the place formerly known as Britta's Tacos. She approached the counter and was met with Sensei Brantley. "Welcome to Britta's Tacos. Love your coat. Can I take your order?"

Mina raised and eyebrow and said nothing.

"Ah, I get it. You're new to these parts and you don't know what a taco is. I get it." He responded. "Tell ya what." He reached towards a counter that was out of the sight of the window and pulled out a plate with a taco on it. "First one's on the house."

She raised her eyebrow yet again and hesitantly took the taco plate. She quietly and awkwardly walked away and found herself a table. Unconsciously she took a bite of the taco, and instantly she was blown away by the mountain of flavor she was experiencing. In a moment of weakness, she consumed the rest of the taco in literally a single bite. She then raced back up to the counter, pulling out of her coat pocket all of the Earth money she had managed to scrounge up to that point, and gave it to Sensei. "I'll take ten." She whispered loudly in an attempt to disguise her voice.
