When I was writing my first ever story people kept on asking me about a sequel so I asked them what they wanted by giving them 2 options of what I could write. The overwhelming response was "Star the Monster Princess" a sequel to the first story and I hope to deliver better then my original work.
I will be following the "Star vs the forces of Evil series" closely when it makes sense during the first season with some alterations due to Star's different behavior and back story. After that the story will change quite dramatically. If you have an episode you want to see let me know and I will see if I can do it.
Note, I will be publishing chapters in a more staggered fashion then my first story to proofread it as grammar was the biggest issue with it so expect a chapter to come out once every two weeks at least or so. It may come out faster but never later.
"WOHOOOOO!" Star threw up her hands as the Gryphon she was riding dive-bombed over the forest doing a few twists in the air. "Hurry up Buck Beak or we'll be late."
"*You mean you will be late.*" Buck Beak didn't talk but shrieked at her like a Red-Tail hawk as he picked up speed.
Star just threw up her hands as the wind flowed through her calf length hair and enjoyed the ride as Buck Beak flew over a forest that turned into farmland. Not far in front of them was a small city with a massive eastern style castle at the center that bore onion doomed towers; the destination of Star Butterfly heir to the kingdom of Mewni. As of this, her 14th birthday, she would receive the artifact of her ancestors, the wand of the Butterfly lineage passed down for more than 1,000 years since the kingdom was founded. Buck Beak, a creature who had the top half of a hawk with red and black feathers and a silvery black spotted leopards hind quarters, flew past the magical barriers protecting the city easily and swooped low over the town. Star waved to the people down below with several waving back as Star neared the castle's outer perimeter and flew over the secondary walls which were physical and made out of some sort of concrete.
"Well, here I go."
"*Stop for nothing and never hold back.*" Buck Beak shrieked as Star leapt from Buck Beak's back landing in the castle gardens on her feet from a 30 foot drop.
Star was a rare person being half Mewman and half Monster, the two main races that inhabited the lands of Mewni that Star was heir to. She stood average height for a 14 year old and had calf length bluish-silver hair that framed her rounded face very well. Her skin was a light grey like the concrete the walls were made of with her face bearing a dark rose colored heart mark on each cheek. She looked like a human in most other aspects except for claws on her hands and toes, sharp reptilian teeth, and a reptilian tail coming from beneath her clothes. She wore what looked to be a black semi-formal Victorian dress with two buttons on her chest and a small white collar just around her neck and also had a dark purple headband with devil horns holding back her hair. The most stunning feature about her however was her green eyes that bards constantly referenced it songs and poems about Star which could turn more yellow, blue, violet, or grey almost at Star's will.
Star didn't spend any time thinking on this however and ran for the door on all fours reaching 35 miles an hour to get to the throne room faster. Rushing through the double doors Star ran past crowds of people who were lined on either side of a long carpet that had been rolled out for her ceremony. Star ran at almost full speed up to the twin thrones where her mother and father were standing smiling at Star's entrance but glancing around slightly nervous, Queen Moon Butterfly and King Toffee Butterfly respectively. Moon appeared like an ordinary human with blue eyes and white skin except for bluish-silver hair done up in a heart shape and a light magenta diamond on each cheek just like Star wearing a formal Blue dress. She had a slightly aged appearance but that made her seem wise and understanding more than anything else. Toffee was a tall being who looked as much lizard as human with dark grey skin, lizard feet which were kept in shoes, clawed hands, a lizard's tail, and the face of a lizard despite having very well kept black hair and rather beautiful green eyes. He wore a formal black suit with a white vest beneath it with gold tussled cuffs on his shoulders and held a silver sickle sword with strange runes chiseled into it.
Star made it to the steps that led to the dais which the thrones were on and only then felt nervous as she realized eyes from everyone were all on her. She shivered internally as she walked up not glancing around lest her nervousness turn into fear and stopped in front of her mother curtsying in the appropriate fashion. She did hear a slight sigh of relive from her parents only making her more nervous as several trumpets blared out.
"Now Star, this is a big responsibility that I am handing to you, you understand that right?" Moon cocked an eyebrow at her daughter as she nodded in understanding. "Very well." Moon smiled as she gave Star the wand and made her turn around.
The wand changed from Moon's 1 ½ foot gold staff with a small crown shaped icon holding a blue crystal heart bearing a fleur-de-le on the end of it into the form it would take for Star. It had a 1 foot dark red haft with a rose colored orb on one end with a half emerald and half pink rose quartz star at the center surrounded by a deep indigo backing. Coming from the sides of the orb were a pair of black bird wings and a pair of white bat wings with a small crown on the top of it.
"Hear ye hear ye, on the day of Star Butterfly's 14th year we do present her with the wand of the Butterflys that signalith her coming of age to be made heir to the throne of Mewni. All hail the princess Star Butterfly." Star shuddered slightly as Manfred, her family's royal announcer, spoke loud and clear to the crowd.
Star had never done well with crowds or most people for that matter so looking over the crowd made her excitement and confidence shrivel up fast. She did see lots of smiling and approving faces among the crowd, most notably from her friends, family, and her parents friends. Most of the looks however were just neutral expressions of approval which made Star nervous as she couldn't tell what they were happy for her or upset that she got the wand. A few of the looks were outright annoyed or hostile towards Star as they seemed to be unhappy a half Mewman half Monster creature was now heir to the throne of Mewni. The worst part for Star however was seeing that several people simply did not bother to show up though they had been given quite literally years of warning ahead of time all because they didn't approve of Star. Star swallowed her anxiety and waved at everyone as she walked out of the throne room as people filed away for an after ceremony meet and greet. Star tried to move out of the room but felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see her father staring down at her with his own green eyes and a smile on his face.
"And where are you going my shining Star?" Star looked to the ground and held her hands behind her back as Toffee and Moon looked at her concerned.
"Well my part in this is over after all, I should get going…"
"Your friends are going to be there." Moon smiled knowing what Star was going to say. "I know these types of occasions are not exactly your thing but please go along with this one to show people who you are."
"Well ok, if you insist."
"You are not going to be on a pedestal, just intermingle and be yourself." Toffee smiled at Star as he spoke guiding her to the ballroom.
'Maybe it won't be so bad.' Star thought to herself as she went with them.
"Star we are sorry for yelling at you, please come out." Toffee looked at his wife as she tried to negotiate with Star behind her closed and now magically sealed door.
The party had been going just fine until Star tried showing off to a couple of people her magical abilities by creating small cute animals. When several of the more disapproving guests began laughing at her and calling her the 'wannabe princess' the animals leapt to Star's defense by attacking the guests causing a ruckus. Star tried solving the problem herself by trying to draw the animals back into the wand but in the process created a black hole that sucked up everything in its path, including one of the guests. Star then used her magic to bring the guy back but also brought forward a strange monstrosity that began destroying the ballroom. All of this happened before Moon arrived on the scene to stop the magic from flowing and yelled at Star that it was enough and she should lower her wand lest she burn the castle down.
Moon meant for it as a joke and many people laughed the situation off as the creature was put down but Star disappeared during that moment. Toffee actually had to remind Moon that Star can take these things the wrong way if she is under stress and she may have upset their daughter given the stress she was under during the party to appease people and deal with the mess she made. Moon and Toffee went to find their daughter only to find she had barred herself in her room and was trying to make no noise like she did when she messed up really bad. Moon had ordered the party to continue without them in anticipation of getting Star out quickly but 10 minutes later no such luck had come their way.
"Moon sweetie this isn't going to work." Toffee put his hand on Moon's shoulder making her calm down.
"*Sigh* I know that now Toffee, I should have watched my wording with how sensitive our daughter is." Moon turned and laid her head on Toffee's chest as he let her hair down so he could easily rub her head. "Normally she brushes things like this off but…" She looked up at Toffee. "What are we going to do, we can't just let this continue. I thought all this was left behind after the war ended Toffee, why can't they just accept our guiding Star." Moon had tears in her eyes now.
"The war still isn't technically over and even if it was old beliefs die hard slow deaths even if only a few people follow them."
"Star is always so free, happy, and strong when she is out in the wilds, fighting the Forest Barbarians and wild beasts, or riding that Buck Beak friend of hers. We need some way to get her to interact with people so she can be more trusting especially with the wand now at her command."
"I don't think we can do anything here in Mewni what with the way many people talk about her and even occasionally treat her when we aren't around to protect her." Toffee then had an idea that involved an old friend from another dimension. "Although there may be a place where she can learn to be with people and be with one of our old friends." Moon cocked an eyebrow at him in confusion as the gears turn in her head until she realized his idea and smiled.
"Butler, send word to Angie that we require her assistance." Moon yelled out with Butler, a man who looked to be in his 70's yet was still as sharp and efficient as ever, seemingly appeared from nowhere and nodding while going off to do his duty. "I will never understand how he is always so attentive even at his age."
"I'm just as confused as you are Moon." They both watched as Butler walked away quickly and efficiently.
"I'm sorry about what I did and that I ran away, I'll accept any punishment you…" Star was silenced by Moon and Toffee getting on their knees and hugging her.
Currently they were in the main courtyard as several figures overlooked the trio as a carriage was loaded up with Stars possessions. In front of the carriage appeared to be a pair of red dragon like creatures with lion heads looking to be the creatures that pulled the carriage. The figures overlooking them were Butler; A giant humanoid Frog man who was the captain of the royal guard known as Buff Frog; the announcer Manfred who seemed to be wearing showy blue clothes as his job required; and an older woman who was wearing a light lavender formal dress with white-streaked turquoise colored hair being done up in a heart shape with blue butterfly marks on her cheeks like Moon and Star.
"You're not being punished for anything Star, we are just sending you someplace you can learn things we can't teach you." Moon smiled as she pulled back from Star.
"Like St. Olga's?" Toffee and Moon both got disturbed looks on their faces and looked at each other when Star said that.
"Not on my life they will not." The older woman spoke with a sure and earnest voice staring the couple down.
"No mother we would not even consider that nightmare of a hell hole even with the recent reforms." Moon stood up and faced Star again. "Instead you will be living with a friend of mine on the Earth Dimension in a place known as Echo Creek where you will be attending school."
"Wait, I get to go to public school?"
"Yes dear, yes you do." Toffee smiled and led Star onto the carriage with Buff Frog and her grandmother coming along with her parents.
Manfred gets up to the reins of the carriage while Butler stepped forward with a pair of scissors and seems to cut a hole in reality revealing a strange swirling vortex of white and pink that Manfred drives the carriage through. It emerged in front of what appeared to be a public high school on earth called Echo Creek Academy parking in a handicap parking spot with the carriage door opening and the five people within come out.
"I will never get used to how quickly we travel with those scissors, why do we not just walk?" Buff Frog asked no one in particular.
"Because Star needs her things and this is the best transportation we have. Now let's see what we can do about the education aspect." Toffee immediately heads for the school.
As they headed in a cop pulled up on a bicycle and saw that the carriage was parked on a handicap spot and went to write a ticket for it. As he went to place it on the carriage however one of the creatures pulling it turned and growls at him making him break out in a sweat. He still pushes forward however until the creature snapped its teeth at him making the cop run for cover and call for backup. Inside the school Star marveled at the strange array of metal doors that her parents told her were lockers and that people used them to store supplies in for school. They didn't stop to admire though and made it to the principal's office where they met with a short fat man with a well receded hairline who was wearing a suit with a purple bow-tie. He didn't seem too happy to be barged in upon but accepted them nonetheless as he eyed them up.
"So you two are Mr. and Mrs. …"
"Butterfly sir. We wish to enroll our daughter into your academy while she stays on earth." Toffee spoke while the lights begin to flicker making everyone look up in concern.
"And you said there was no magic on earth." Star was smiling now with her nervousness gone as she flicked the light switch on and off while Buff Frog watched the lights in fascination.
"Yeah I don't think this is going to work." The principal folded his arms until Toffee pulled out a small chest to reveal it was brimming with gold. "I take that back, she is going to love it here." Star continued to flick the light switch even faster now.
"She is going to need a guide Principal Skeeves." Moon spoke in a dead pan expression as Skeeves got a phone out for the intercom system.
Marco Diaz, an ordinary looking Hispanic boy around 14 with dark skin, brown eyes, black hair, and a small mole on his right cheek wearing a red hoodie, worked in class looking absolutely bored like everyone else in the room until he heard the intercom.
"Marco Diaz to the principal's office please." Marco actually smiled at that and stood up.
"Oooooooh, so much for me being the safe kid huh?" Marco looks around the class which was unresponsive. "I Marco Diaz have been called to the principal's office for who knows what crime against…"
"WOULD YOU JUST GO ALREADY!" Marco shut up and ran after a fat old woman sitting at the teachers desk yelled at him to get going.
Marco hurried to the principal's office only to see a very odd collection of entities in front of it including a humanoid lizard, a humanoid frog, and two women dressed like Disney princesses with one of them looking surprisingly familiar all talking to principal Skeeves.
"Ah there he is, Marco my boy come over here I have a job for you." Marco blinked softly and walked up to the group in concern. "This here is Queen Moon and King Toffee of Mewni and they would like to enroll their daughter at our school. Knowing that you are the "safe kid" I give you the job of seeing her through a tour of the school."
"What no, I am a misunderstood bad boy!" Marco spoke in frustration to hear a few giggles from the group next to the principal.
"I believe someone says the same thing about herself when she has free time." Toffee looked at Moon who gave him an annoyed look.
"I actually am wild, free, and reckless when I have the opportunity to do so; duty demands otherwise from me though." She then turned to Marco smiling. "You will not only be guiding Star though, your family will be hosting our daughter for her stay on earth."
"WHAAT!" Marco was stared down by Buff Frog at that.
"You will take good care of her, or I will take good care of you." His Russian accent made him seem even more intimidating as he cracked his knuckles. "Got it?" Marco nodded nervously as Toffee elbowed Buff Frog in the gut making him gasp for air.
"Don't terrify him to death Buff Frog we still need him. Star, come on over and meet your new friend and guide." Marco turned to see a girl fascinated by the water fountain making it run until she saw Marco and bounded over on all four legs till she was right next to him.
"Um, hi?" Marco leaned back a little as Star put her face right next to his looking at him in question while she waved her tail.
"You're my new friend? Oh what is your favorite color, what's your favorite food, is there really magic on earth, do you like board games?" Star then leaned over and sniffed his hair. "You smell nice, what shampoo do you use?"
Moon spoke to Star making her step back blushing "Star, it is very rude to just smell people without permission."
"I taught her that, is good way to know friend from foe." Buff Frog leapt in to explain Star's actions to her mom.
"He's right you know." Toffee and the older woman answered in sync.
"Wait, who are you two?" Marco pointed to the two unnamed figures.
"Oh, I am Buff Frog captain of royal guard of Butterfly castle and bodyguard of Butterfly family."
"I am Willow, grandmother to Star Butterfly." The woman in the lavender dress answered.
"Wait, Grandmother Willow. Why does that sound fami…" Marco was interrupted by a chiming.
"Oh we must hurry off, don't worry Star we will come to visit you soon." Moon came over and kissed Star's cheek.
"Marco, a quick word." Marco went with Toffee to the side. "Our daughter has some social issues aside from her eccentrics due to "bullies" in the past. You need to keep a careful eye on her and use this device to call us if you don't know what to do with Star if she has a problem." Toffee slid him a small blue flip mirror confusing him for multiple reasons.
"How will I know when to call you?"
"Oh, you will know." Toffee walked back to the group boarding the carriage. "See you later my little MonStar."
"Good bye papa." Star waved as her family got into the chariot, which had 5 cops around it by now and turned it towards a portal which they went through and disappeared like they were never there.
"You kids have fun, papa's going to the ice cream shop for all 52 flavors." Principal Skeeves walked off now as the cops began investigating the area in confusion.
Star turned towards Marco smiling in anticipation "So, where do we start safe kid?"
"Wha, I am not a safe kid! Everything you have heard about me so far is not true." Marco began walking with Star skipping along looking at everything in awe and stopping occasionally to look closer. "I don't know where this all is coming from, oh watch the lose floor tile, but I am not like that." Marco then pulled Star away from an open locker afraid she might knock her head on it. "You wear a helmet in the shower room one time and you are labeled for life. Ah, watch out for the broken glass." Star watched Marco with interest as he continues. "Frankly I like taking risks and would welcome a little danger in my life."
"Oh nice, well how about this." Star blasted some magic at a Butterfly that turned it into a giant Butterfly that roared picking up a random person and began using him to play hackey sack with until Star turned it back into a Butterfly. "Sorry sorry, got a little ahead of myself… wait I thought you would like this?" Star turned towards Marco who was looking at her with concern.
"Who are you?"
"I am Star Butterfly, a magical princess from another dimension." Star made a small pose and made a small rainbow behind her that caught on fire which she quickly put out nervously as Marco let it all sink in.
"… um, k. So I should probably show you around town and show you how to get to my house right?" Marco felt nervous around the lizard girl creature but decided to tough out as she seemed kind of vulnerable for some reason.
"Oh, I get to see Angie. My mom and her are actually very good friends even though it has been years since they last saw each other. I wonder if she still likes the song "Thriller Night"?" Star then did a strange dancing movement as she walked with Marco.
'This is gonna be harder and stranger than I thought.' Marco thought as he led Star home.
