This fic takes place after the events of Face the Music and Weirdmageddon Pt 3. (except that the twins haven't gone home yet, obviously). Enjoy~

"Hey, Cloudy... let's... get out of here."

Star flew silently through the night sky, the events of minutes prior flashing through her mind. She buried her face in her hands, her cheeks red with embarrassment. How could Ruberiot do this to her? I knew these stupid princess songs were useless, she thought to herself.

Cloudy dropped her off on her balcony, and the blonde princess quickly changed out of the big, poofy dress. She let her hair fall, and looked over at the dress lying limp on the bed, and shuddered as she was reminded of the dreadful event she'd just escaped from. What should I do now?

Star really wanted to spill everything to Ponyhead, but she was on Mewni, so that was definitely out of the question. She could call Janna, she thought, but as she took out he phone, she saw exactly how late it was, and Janna had definitely passed out while binging horror movies by now. After a few minutes of thought, Star decided to just go somewhere quiet, where she could have some time alone to think things over. In another dimension, of course.

Star took out Marco's dimensional scissors, and for a moment felt a bit guilty for taking them and essentially stranding him on Mewni. At least she knew he'd be safe in Butterfly castle, and it would help ensure she could have some time away from him. Star shook her head to clear it, and quickly opened up a dark, shadowy portal.

The princess gingerly stepped inside the portal, and instantly found herself tumbling down an empty void. After the initial shock subsided, and she realized that by the looks of it she probably wouldn't be landing any time soon, Star regained her composure. After a few minute's time, she'd almost forgotten that she was actually falling. It felt like she was merely floating, resting delicately atop a silky blanket of nothingness. It really was quite peaceful. Star took this time to reflect on the events of earlier. The princess could only imagine how the citizens of Mewni must see her and her family now that they knew how she'd lost Glossaryck and the spellbook. But of course, she was mostly concerned about Marco, and what she could possibly say to explain herself. Star knew deep down that the last verse Ruberiot had included was all true, but Marco was her best friend! Not only that, but he was officially dating Jackie Lynn Thomas, his crush since preschool. He'd never share feelings for her other than friendship, and now, he might not even want that.

Star let out a defeated sigh, and wiped away a tiny tear, before taking notice to a tiny white speck below her. Star quickly realized that the speck was increasing rapidly in size, and before she know what was happening Star landed with a thud on some soft green grass. The blonde stood up slowly, and as she brushed the grass off, she turned and looked around at her new surroundings. There was dense forest both in front and behind her, and to her right she saw a deep hole in the ground. As she peered one the edge, she saw nothing but darkness. To her left, she saw a small wooden building. Upon close inspection, Star noticed a sign on the roof that read "Mystery Shack." The "s" had fallen off though, and hung loosely on a few shingles. Star came to the conclusion that it was probably some kooky tourist attraction, and decided to see the inside for herself. She knocked on the front door, and at ten only a couple of seconds the Mewman girl was greeted by an oddly enthusiastic old man. "'Hey there, little lady!" he said, in a gruffy, yet inviting voice. "Welcome to the Mystery Shack!"
