Hi, everyone! I'm Zorg, and this is my first fanfic. Ever. What a better way to write a first fanfic, than one about my favorite cartoon? Please understand that I am a beginner, and this is my chance to experience with different ways of writing, so everything may not flow as well as some other fanfics. With that said, please enjoy Bound Beyond Blood. Thank you for reading!

It was a normal afternoon in Mewni. That is, if you consider any day in Mewni normal. The former princess Star Butterfly was lying on her bed, simply thinking about what Tom tried to talk to her about when she was with his family at their lava lake cabin. She looked in her closet, and pulled out the picture she kept with her from the photo booth her and Marco almost spent whole night trapped in. She felt...confused, to say the least.

"Ugh, this makes ZERO sense!" Star thought to herself. "I obviously have a boyfriend, that I obviously care about! So...how come when think about...him..." she paused her train of thought as she looked at the boy that kissed her that night. "...why do I still feel this way?" She let out a deep sigh. "When did this whole...fiasco...start between us?" She thought long and hard, and, after minutes of pondering around her room, finally remembered.

"Of course! The Blood Moon Ball!" she exclaimed.

"Blood Moon Ball, you say?" a voice responded back. Star almost jumped through the roof in surprise when she heard the voice. She quickly turned to the direction of the voice to find that she was looking at the Queen of Mewni.

"ECLIPSA! Where the heck did you come from!? I almost had a heart attack!" Star shouted. "You'd better be glad I wasn't in pillow throwing range, because if I was, you'd be dead right now, sister," she said menacingly.

"I'm sorry for giving you such a scare, dear," Eclipsa began. "I was just passing down the hall and overheard you talk about the Blood Moon Ball."

"Yeah, I just remembered something important, but it's no big deal, you don't have to worry abo-"

"Oh, I've always loved the Blood Moon Ball," Eclipsa stated, interrupting Star. "I've always wanted to dance under that beautiful light with my beloved Globgor. But of course, since it happens so rarely, we never got the chance. What was so important about it that you remembered, dear?"

"Well, the Blood Moon Ball happened over a year ago, and...well...to keep it short, I just remembered that Marco and I danced under the light."

"Aww, how sweet! Young love is truly a thing of beauty," Eclipsa gushed.

"No Eclipsa, not a beauty. I'm dating Tom, you know, the prince of the Underworld?"

"How long have you been with him?" she questioned.

"For a while actually," Star replied. "But there have been some...complications."

"Go on..."

"Okay, just...don't tell anyone else about this. Please, Eclipsa."

"Your secret is safe with me, Star. I promise."

"Well, one night, Marco and I got trapped in this creepy goblin's photo booth, and he told us that the booth was magic, and that we had to take the right photo for the booth to let us out. Eventually, Marco straight up kissed me for the photo! Turned out the booth wasn't magic at all, and that was just the smooch that creep was waiting for."

"So, what was so complicated about that night?"

"The complicated part.." Star began. "...was that I...kinda liked it."

Eclipsa thought for a moment.

"So you what you're saying is you think that because you and Marco danced under the Blood Moon's light, you still have feelings for him?"

"I guess so."

"Are you sure you want to be with Tom, dear?"

"Of course, well, probably, or...I mean..." Star stumbled with her words. "ARGHH! It's this stupid Blood Moon! If we never got bound together there would be zero problems right now!" Star fell on her bed and covered her face with a heart-shaped pillow. "I just wish there was some way to get rid of it," she mumbled.

"Maybe there is," Eclipsa said.

"Wait, what?" Star got up to listen more clearly.

"Well, funnily enough, I've recently read about the Blood Moon, and if my research is correct, there is a certain ritual that can be performed to break any bond it has made."

"Seriously? Do know how to do it?"

"Well, it's just a theory, but my notes on all the ritual steps are in my room. I can get them for you if you'd like."

"Yes, please! Thank you, thank you, thank you Eclipsa!" Star gave Eclipsa a huge bear hug.

"Anytime, dear," Eclipsa said as she returned the embrace, losing oxygen from how strong Star pulled on her.

She got up, and went to go collect her notes.

Star had a lot of reading to do.
