Afterwards (Starco)

Chapter 6

Moon put on her crown, fixing it in front of a mirror and took a deep breath. Just in 30 minutes, she would be made queen of Mewni. Or Earth-ni. Again. Star bounced into the room and went over to her mom.

"Oh, mommy you look so pretty! I'm so excited for your coronation! We've handed out invitations to everybody! I hope they all come," She said with a gleaming smile. 

Moon looked at her daughter and smiled. Star was dressed in her royal dress, and on her head she wore a small glittering crown. Moon bent over to hug her daughter.

"I can't tell you how incredibly proud of you I am," she said, stepping away to look at her daughter. Star touched her cheeks.

"Aww, mom," she said, blushing a little.

The auditorium was filled with mewmans and monsters. Behind the draping red curtains, people bustled around, practising songs, preparing the props, fixing clothes... Eclipsa stood in a corner, carrying Meteora. Globgor stood beside her. Moon turned to them and smiled. They smiled back. Eclipsa had given her throne to Moon, she was sure that was the right thing to do. After Moon's coronation, she's going to find another home.

Star bit her lip and held onto Marco while bouncing up and down. It was clear she was very excited. She turned to Marco. "Marco! It's the first big event since Earth-ni was created! How can you be so...so... unexcited?!" she squealed. Marco took her hand. 

"Oh, I'm excited alright. But you, you need to calm dow-"

"How could I calm down?!" an angry voice screamed outside the auditorium. The citizens gasped and all turned around to see what's wrong. A man was arguing with the guards outside.

"-and we will not listen to some dumb queen from another dimension! This world is not yours!" he was shouting. The auditorium gasped. Star peeked out from the red curtains, worried. Marco peeked out with her. They saw that a crowd of angry humans outside, shouting and pushing through the guards.

"That... does not look good," Marco said, holding up a finger.

Star turned around. "Oh, no, Marco! They didn't want to have a queen like us!"

Moon was escorted back to her room as the mewmans stood arguing with the humans outside the auditorium. Guards tried to separate them. She sighed. Moon knew something like this would happen, because their worlds were merged. Not all humans understood mewmans, and she knew that not all of the people living on Earth-ni would accept her as their queen. Moon sat down on her bed, rubbing her temples.

Star barged into the room. She had changed out of her royal dress and stood at the door.

"Mom, I'm sorry that this happened and I promise we'll fix it," she said determinedly and stormed out of the room before Moon could call her back. 

"Alright, listen up everybody! We need to get humans and mewmans to get along. Any ideas?" Star announced as she stood before her friends. Kassie, Kelly, Ponyhead, Jackie, and Marco all looked at her blankly. Star facepalmed and sat down with them. 

"Guys, this world will be no better than Mewni if we can't get the people along!" she said as she buried her face in the palms of her hands. Marco came up behind Star and out a hand on her shoulder. 

"Hey, you've solved this problem before, right? Just do what you did to get the monsters and mewmans along!" he said, comforting her. Star looked up, her face brightened a little. 

"I know! The party! We need to arrange a ginormous-level party, inviting every single person out there!" Star demanded, standing up to be in charge again. "Questions?"

Kelly raised her hand. "What if they refuse to come?" she asked. Star tapped her chin as she walked around in circles. "Hmm, good question," she mumbled.

Ponyhead flew up beside Star. "Okay, listen up people! Ponyhead here is like, the party master, okay?  Those dumb humans will come to the party, alright?" she said.

Kassie looked thoughtful. "Star, was there any other way, or place, that the mewmans and monsters got along?" she asked.

"Didn't you hear me? The party master is here!" Ponyhead repeated but nobody noticed her. "Ugh,"

They all thought. Then Kelly jumped. "I remember! The cornball game, Marco!" she looked at Marco. His face brightened. "Oh yeah! The cornball game! Nice job, Kelly!" Kelly blushed.

Star nodded. "But they were just little children! Grown-ups will never get along as easy as children!"

Jackie, who had stayed silent all this time, spoke up. "How about we arrange a ginormous-class party for children only? Children and kids," she suggested.

Star grabbed Jackie, catching her by surprise. "Of course! Brilliant idea, Jackie!"
