Yup, what you're seeing is real: I'm posting an SVTFOE AU. And oh lord, compared to the show, nothing's the same anymore. NOTHING.

Okay, it's not as extreme as I'm making it sound, but it's still fairly different. I prefer showing over telling, if possible, so I think I'll let you guys read this story first rather than give a super massive info dump about the AU. And if you have any questions (And I believe you will), just pm me about it and I'll see if I can answer you, without spoiling too much.

Am I going to turn this into a full story? Depends on what you guys say: Would you like to see this story continued? Or would you rather have it shown through pictures, drawn on my Deviantart over at Chaoticson? Tell me what you think in the reviews, and remember, if you have any questions, and you do have an account, pm me these questions and I'll see if I can answer.

So, without further ado, let's get going to the story!

It was around midnight at the city of Echo Creek, and a cloaked figure with a flashlight walked around the first floor of a certain place known as the Diaz Household, the shine from the flashlight being the only light guiding them in their way. The figure took a quick look around the premises, making sure not to crash with anything on the way, like the pillars that were erected around.

Each pillar had a certain object on top of it, encased in a glass container: The horn of a unicorn, a pair of scissors, what looked like a reptillian skull, a tiara with eye-like gems encrusted in it, and so on and so forth.

But the pillar that caught the figure's attention the most was the one in the middle, holding a severed finger inside. But there was one peculiar thing about this finger: It wasn't a human finger, rather, it looked like it belonged to a reptile of some sort... and yet, it did seem to share the properties of a humanoid-

"Marco!"

The figure flinched and hit the ground, uncovering their face to reveal themselves to be Marco Diaz, only child of the Diaz household. And then the lights were turned on to show Marco's parents, Rafael and Angie, with worried looks.

"Oh, hi Mom, hi Dad," Marco greeted as his parents helped him stand up. "Was I being a loud guard again?"

"No, but your shift ended a couple hours ago, your father should've taken over for you by now," Angie explained, giving her husband an angry look before she turned back to her son. "Why are you still guarding the artifacts?"

"Mom, you know that we get our customers mostly because of these magical artifacts, and some are such cheapskates they'd rather steal them for themselves rather then pay for them," Marco dusted himself and stretched. "If we leave one of these things unguarded for even a second, some random jerk could steal them!"

"Yes, but we're still human, Marco, and humans need a full sleep to work at their very best," Rafael answered, putting a hand on his son's shoulder. "I mean, it's not like we can survive a full day without sleep, like me-"

Angie jabbed Rafael in the gut, shutting him up and letting her speak, "Look, go back to your room and have a goodnight sleep, sweetie. Your dad'll take over the guarding duty from here."

Marco glanced at both his parents, who nodded at him to do it, and he smiled a little before he hugged them, and walked back upstairs, waving goodbye as he got his goodnight sleep.

Later, at the morning...

The sun rose high in the city of Echo Creek, with a rooster doing it's usual, but most likely unwanted call as the sunlight entered through the windows of a certain Diaz household, right into the bedroom of the boy known as Marco Diaz.

The guy, though briefly irritated by the invading sunlight, quickly woke up and yawned before he jumped off his bed and got dressed in his usual outfit.

"Marco, son, are you ready!" called Marco's parents from downstairs, primarily his mother, Angie. "Remember you have school today!"

"Yeah, Mom, I'm almost ready!" Marco shouted in return. "I'll be down there in a minute, don't worry!"

Once Marco finished getting dressed up, he took a brief look at his overall appearence, of which the only notable feature that would catch attention was the little claw scar right next to his mole. It wasn't anything that could threaten his life, but it was still pretty noticeable and hard to miss. Nevertheless, Marco grabbed his backpack and walked down to the kitchen, where he saw he had... a single piece of bread as breakfast.

His mother, Angie, quickly arrived and put some meat and another loaf of bread on top of it, causing Marco to shake his head before he sat down to eat it.

"So, did anything happen last night?" Marco inquired, taking a bite out of his sandwich. "You know, after dad took over the shift?"

"Nope, besides your Dad sleeping on the couch with the artifacts, nothing weird happened," Angie answered as she sat next to her son and brushed his hair. "Say, are you going to go straight to your school or-"

"I'm gonna check up on Jackie, Janna, and Brittney first," Marco answered, taking another bite of his food before asking, "Do you need me to do something?"

"Well, you know how's the situation with your friends," Angie took out three paper bags, each with a different name written on one side. "So I also made some sandwiches for them: Tuna for Jackie, chicken for Janna, peanut butter and jelly for Alfonzo and Ferguson, and turkey for Brittney."

"You really are a saint sometimes, Mom, I'll be sure to give them the sandwiches when I get the chance," Marco finished eating his food and kissed his Mom in the cheek. "Well, I'm off to school, see ya later, Mom!"

However, just as Marco stood up, Angie stood up as well and grabbed his arm before saying, with a serious tone, "Please, stay away from the monsters."

Marco touched his scar for a moment, then gave his Mother a nod of agreement before she released him. Angie waved goodbye as her son left the house, and walked off to the first place he though to go, besides school of course: The beach.

And why the beach, in particular? Because right at the shore was a certain blonde girl he was very familiar with, moving in a smooth fashion as a pair of giant water arms repeated her motions in an equally graceful manner.

This girl was Jackie Lynn Thomas, who Marco watched with a little smile as he walked a bit closer to see her smooth motions, until she stopped with both her arms, and the water arms, up above her. Seeing this, Marco's smile turned mischivieous and he shouted:

"Yo, Lazulynn!"

Jackie flinched and the water arms dissipated, falling on top of Jackie and getting her all wet as Marco laughed out loud, which was soon followed by Jackie once she shook off the water like a dog.

"Marco, you sneaky little jerk!" Jackie shouted as Marco walked closer to her. "How many times have I told you not to startle me while I'm training!"

Marco chuckled. "Hey, you're the one who always boasts about being wet all the time!"

"That has nothing to do with this! And besides, you know I meant that as a joke!" Jackie grabbed her hair and brushed it. "But, you know what, you're cute, so I'll let it slide this time."

"Just like last time?" Marco scratched his chin. "And the time before that, and the time before that one-"

Jackie smirked and cracked her knuckles. "You know what, Marco? You're right, I've been rather relaxed with you..."

Jackie lifted her fist, and a massive fist made of water burst from the ocean body nearby. "Maybe I should punish you, just this once!"

"Whoa, I'm sorry, I-I was just joking!" Marco flinched and waved his hands as Jackie remained frozen on her spot, sporting a smug smirk on her face. "No need to hit me with that water fist, right?"

"Haha, relax, dude, I was just joking," Jackie lowered her arm and looked at her seashell-shaped pendant as the fist dissipated back into the body of water. "I'd never hurt you after you personally gave me this necklace."

"To be fair, you could've found that necklace on your own, you just so happened to find it first on Mom and Dad's artifacts," Marco looked at the ground and scratched his chin. "Come to think of it, Mom and Dad always tend to find these things, and they've never told me where or why..."

The guy shrugged it off and put his hands in his pockets. "Anyway, I'm going to check up on the inner circle, you know? I decided to see how you were doing first, for obvious reasons, and I see you're doing pretty well."

"Well, I was doing well until you startled me," Jackie laughed and tried to resume her previous movement. "Are you gonna go look for Janna next? She is the owner of your best friends' grimoire, after all."

Marco shook his head. "I still can't help but remember how I told those three it wasn't something they could play with."

The boy quickly remembered the sandwiches, and he took Jackie's paper bag and handed it to her as he said, "By the way, my mom made you and the guys some sandwiches for breakfast."

"Aw, that's so nice of her!" Jackie said as she grabbed the bag. "But your mom does know she doesn't have to do this, right?"

"Well, she probably sees herself as a mother to you and the rest of the girls as well, seeing how close we are in general, so I don't think she cares too much," Marco saved the paper bags and waved goodbye as he ran off. "Anyway, I'm off to see Janna, Ferguson, and Alfonzo! Good luck with your training!"

Jackie returned the wave and glanced at the bag, then the ocean, before she sat down and started eating the sandwich.

Later, at the library...

Marco quickly found Janna in the same spot she usually was: The seat closes to the entrance to the library. And alongside her were Ferguson and Alfonzo, who were floating nearby with black lines running down the edges of their mouths and eyes. Janna sat on a chair, wearing a pair of brown glasses as she surfed through the pages of a book, with a slight hint of annoyance.

"Ugh, why is it that whenever we unlock a new spell, it's somewhere random in the book, rather than right after the last new spell we found?" the beanie gal said to herself before she reached the very last page of the book. "Aha, here it is! Let me see... Visio Immateris!"

Alfonzo and Ferguson immediately disappeared, which they quickly noticed as Ferguson exclaimed, "Hey! We're invisible! Although we can still see ourselves!"

And then, after a couple seconds, the guys turned back to normal. "Huh, looks like it doesn't last for long."

"So, you can turn invisible, huh? And you can phase through things in general, too..." Janna scratched her chin as Marco walked closer to her. "You know, I might have an idea on how to use this power you guys just got."

"Let me guess," Marco blurted, getting the trio's attention. "You're gonna have them fly into the cheerleaders' dressing room and spy on them? 'Cause I wouldn't approve of that, you know?"

"Marco!" Alfonzo and Ferguson exclaimed in delight.

"Don't be ridiculous, Marco; Why just send them there, when they can bring me back a little gift as well?" Janna closed her grimoire, with Ferguson and Alfonzo being sucked into it moments before, and gave the boy the pointer finger. "I'm gonna have them bring me their panties as well!"

"Oh my, Janna, you've certainly lost your touch," Marco sneered. "Why just take the panties of the cheerleaders? Why not the panties from the cheerleaders, and the teachers?"

"Ohoho, you may think I'm getting soft, but you're wrong, Diaz!" Janna stood up folded her arms. "I'm gonna have them bring me the panties of all the girls, and women, of Echo Creek! In fact..."

Marco and Janna said the next stuff in unison, "Why just steal their panties, when they can get their stockings, bras, and lingerie as well?!"

The pair laughed maniacally before the laughter broke down into a friendlier one, which ended once the librarian finally arrived and gestured them to keep their mouths shut. Once she was out of view, Janna whispered, "I like it when we do that stuff, it always cheers me up. What are you doing here, by the way?"

"I came to check up on you and see if you and the guys were doing alright," Marco handed Janna the three paper bags for her, Alfonzo and Ferguson. "And also to deliver you these sandwiches my Mom made for you."

"Geez, your old woman did this again?" Janna asked as she opened the book again, releasing the boys so they could get their bags, "I thought you already talked to her about treating us like we were her children or something."

"I did, but as you can plainly see, that hasn't really stopped her from doing it," Marco put his hands on his pocket. "Anyway, I gotta go see one last person before I go to school. Be sure to go there when you're finished, alright, Janna?"

"Yes, Daddy, I got it, please stop telling me what to do," Janna scoffed, rolling her eyes as she took a bite out of her sandwich.

Marco chuckled and brushed Janna's hair before he left the library and headed for the school. As he left, Janna, Alfonzo, and Ferguson ate their sandwiches as they watched him leave, with Janna getting a little relieved smile once he was out of sight.

"You know, Marco's been a lot more relaxed and laidback lately," Ferguson remarked, with Alfonzo nodding in agreement. "Whatever happened to the uptight safe kid we knew?"

"Well, I can tell you one thing for sure," Alfonzo glanced at Janna, who immediately noticed him, then whispered to Ferguson, "He changed once he and Janna started da-"

Moments before he could finish, Janna, with her face fully red, closed the book, with the boys once again being absorbed into it before it was fully closed. She then shoved the book in her bag, and continued to eat her sandwich, trying to ignore what she almost heard.

Back with Marco...

Once at the school, he went inside, but rather than go to his classroom, he went to the gymnasium, where he saw the cheerleading squad surrounding the door to the girls' bathroom. For some reason, they wore animal-themed headbands, and had tails coming out of their backs, although Marco didn't pay much attention to this detail as he walked towards them.

"Um, hi girls, it's me, Marco," the guy greeted, trying his hardest to watch his words as the partially animalistic girls glared at him. "Listen, I already saw how Jackie and Janna are doing, and the only person remaining in my inner circle that I need to check on, is Brittney. I was wondering if she was around here?"

The cheerleaders exchanged looks, and one of them eventually pushed Sabrina up front, with the redhead glaring at the girls before she walked to Marco.

"Brittney is around, Marco, but she's having one of... those episodes," Sabrina glanced at the door. "You know, one of those where she needs to be completely alone until she fixes it for the moment. We're waiting for her to finish with that."

"I'll wait with you as well, then," Marco stated.

"You don't have to do that, Marco, specially since classes are about to start," Chantelle replied as Marco sat in the middle of the cheerleaders and looked at the door. "Go on and get to your classroom before the bell rings."

"Girls, I'm flattered that you're worried about my classes enough to insist that I should go ahead," Marco brushed Chantelle's hair. "But I care about Brittney as much as you do, so I'm staying here until she comes out."

The girls, not seeing any problem with the situation at the moment, allowed Marco to stay with them to wait for Brittney.

Inside the girls' bathroom...

Brittney Wong stood in front of the mirror, looking strictly at her reflection, which sported a bang of a different color than the rest of her raven hair. Instead of being black, it was perfectly pink, which was big enough to cover her left eye. She blew some wind at the bang, but it simply went back down and hit her as a ghostly voice spoke from nowhere.

"Must we hide the hair?"

"Yes, because I'm going to get into a lot of trouble if Mrs. Skullnick sees me with what she thinks is dyed hair!" Brittney snapped, before blowing the pink bang again. "Look, we've been through this before: You can be inside my body, but you must try your hardest not to manipulate my appearence during school time!"

"Why must you care so much about this "school" you keep mentioning?" the ghostly voice inquired, growing meek as it added, "School's filled with people... weird people... scary people... crazy people... I don't like these people..."

"I know, and trust me, I don't like some of those guys either, but the school has rules that everybody needs to follow, and the last time I couldn't follow them-because of you-I got into big trouble I'd rather not get into again!" Brittney snapped, taking a deep breath as she tried to calm down. "Listen, when school's over, you can dye my hair and give me whatever powers you want, but just wait patiently until school's over for today."

The voice remained silent for a moment, before saying, "Please... when it's done... take me away from here... away from the people..."

Brittney smiled. "I promise you, once school's over, it'll be just the two of us for the rest of this day."

Brittney's pink lock of hair turned completely black afterwards. She touched it and played with it a little bit afterwards, but even though it felt normal and harmless now, the girl knew well enough that she couldn't let her guard down just yet. She made a promise, and she had to make good on it, so she walked out of the bathroom, and was immediately surprised to see Marco alongside the cheerleaders.

"Marco?!" Brittney exclaimed, before putting up an angry tone. "What are you doing here, Diaz?!"

"I came to check up on you, and since you were on the bathroom, I decided to wait with your fellow cheerleaders for you to come out," Marco handed Brittney her paper bag. "And also, my mom made you a sandwich, I hope you like it."

Brittney took the paper bag, ate a piece of the sandwich, and she glanced at her cheerleading teammates before she turned to Marco and said, "Thanks, Diaz."

Marco flashed a peace sign, and he promptly left the gymnasium to walk towards his classroom. He grabbed the doorknob, took a deep breath, then twisted the doorknob and entered the classroom for yet another "mundane" day at his school.

Meanwhile, in the castle of Mewni...

A door was opened, revealing Moon, the queen of Mewni, sleeping on a royal-sized bed on top of a bunch of papers. The person who opened the door was her husband, King River, who took a closer look at his sleeping wife before coming to a conclusion.

"Yup, she'll remain like that unless I do something about it," River turned to one of the nearby guardsmen and said, "Guards, bring me the morning wood!"

Moon snorted some more before River literally threw a large tree trunk at her. A throw that was hard enough to wake her up, but do absolutely nothing else.

"River, what have I told you about waking me up with the Morning Wood?!" Moon snapped at her husband as she got up. "I already have enough headaches brought by my work, I don't need a concussion as well!"

"I'm sorry, darling, but if I hadn't done that, you would've slept past noon... again," River answered. "And before you say anything else, let me point out, darling, that everybody in the kingdom knows how much of a heavy sleeper you are."

"A trait that your fellow council members will remind you, has been inherited by your daughter,"

Moon stood up in an instant and turned around to spot two familiar figures entere her room. The first was Mrs. Heinous, otherwise known as Meteora, arms folded behind her back as she looked at Moon with a stern glare, and the second was Eclipsa, who put a hand on her cheek as she maintained her normal, carefree smile on her face.

"After all, like mother, like daughter, right?" Eclipsa cheerfully spoke, before adding in a more serious tone. "Now, let's get to business: There's a matter we need to discuss, and all of the council members need to be present."

"That means you, me, Mom, and Star have to go to the council palace this instant," Meteora stated. "And going by what Mom just said, Star will be likely near impossible to wake up without you being there to wake her up."

Moon raised an annoyed eyebrow. "Why do you want Star to go to the meeting? I thought we agreed we wouldn't let her participate in a meeting until she earned her "queenly title," as you call it."

"And that's not changing anytime soon, either," Meteora shook her head. "However, we can't just leave your daughter alone here, so while we discuss the matter, she'll go train with the past queens, as tradition states."

Moon sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Look, I really wouldn't suggest this like nothing, but why don't you just throw a morning wood at her, just like how River did to me a while ago."

Eclipsa snapped her fingers, and a bunch of torn and broken tree trunks materialized from nowhere. "Because this is what happened."

"I'm still surprised you kept those things in your dimension," Meteora remarked as Eclipsa snapped her fingers once more, making the "morning woods" vanish from existence.

"Always make sure you keep any evidence or proof you could use for your advantage, darling," Eclipsa winked at her daughter, Meteora. "Now, Moon, get up and wake up Star, alright?"

"Ugh, fine," Moon rubbed her forehead. "But try to find another way to wake me up in the future, dear lord."

The mother-daughter pairing left the room, and Moon got up before walking to Star's bedroom, with her husband staying behind to clean the room afterwards. As for Moon, she immediately walked to her daughter, Star's, bedroom, and once she opened the door, she saw her daughter standing upright, reading a book with an exasperated look.

"Star?" Moon walked towards her daughter, who turned to face the woman with a tired look. "You're already awake?"

Star took a deep breath and closed the book. "I woke up two hours ago, although I can't tell you for what reason in particular. One minute I was fast asleep, and the next thing I know, I hear some weird, distorted sound, and I'm laying awake while the moon's still up in the sky."

Moon glanced at Star's book, particularly the title; "How to fall asleep." The woman grabbed the book and read it as Star continued, "I went to the library and picked up that book, and I've been trying to read it to fall asleep again, but no matter how much I read it, I just... can't do it."

Star turned to her mother with a tired smile, "Anyway, do you need something?"

However, much to Star's surprise, Moon actually looked half-asleep as she flipped the page of the book, prompting Star to yell "Mom!" before snatching the book away, returning the woman back to reality soon afterwards.

"W-Well, there's a matter that the council needs to discuss, and I need you to come with me, as usual," Moon explained, brushing her daughter's head. "So, get dressed, and go to the same spot as usual when you're ready, alright?"

Star looked at her bed and silently nodded, her tired look turning into an annoyed one as Moon got up and left. She waved goodbye to Star at the doorframe, but Star continued to look at her bed as she returned the wave, with Moon frowning and closing the door afterwards.

A couple hours later...

Moon, now fully dressed and ready to go to the council, met up with Eclipsa and Meteora, who were standing close to a door with five symbols: A heart, a club, a spades, a diamond, and... a star inside a circle.

"Did you manage to wake up Star?" Eclipsa inquired.

"Actually, Star was already awake when I checked her bedroom," Moon answered, twiddling her fingers as she looked elsewhere. "So, I told her everything and..."

With her sudden pause and subsequent frown, Moon looked at the ground, while Meteora and Eclipsa exchanged looks before asking, in unison, "What's wrong?"

"After I told Star about the meeting, she became rather... upset," Moon clasped her hands. "Do you think that, after years of doing the same thing, she's starting to become tired about the fact we're sending her to train, rather than letting her join the meeting, because of her lack of title?"

"Of course she'd be upset at the fact she lacks a queenly title," Eclipsa pointed out before pointing at her daughter. "I mean, Meteora over here whined about her lack of one every day until she became the Queen of Discipline."

"W-Well, you were just as childish when you wanted to change your title from "Queen of Darkness" to "Queen of Nothingness," all because you thought it sounded cooler!" Meteora blushed as she snapped at her mother, before calming down and taking a deep breath. "And besides, Moon, even if Star's visibly upset about it, she understands that without having any idea what she could provide to the discussion, her presence would be irrelevant at best."

"Well, maybe she could be the voice of reason?" Moon suggested with a worried look.

Meteora narrowed her eyes. "I already am the voice of reason, Moon."

"Listen, Moon, we understand you're worried about Star's role, or lack of one, in the council, but she's much more reasonable and understanding than you give her credit for," Eclipsa put a hand on Moon's shoulder as she spoke with a gente tone. "Besides, since you said Star woke up earlier than usual, don't you think she was upset because she wasn't going to go back to sleep anytime soon?"

Just before Moon could answer, the trio heard someone loudly yawn, which prompted them to turn around to and see Star walking towards them. She was fully dressed, just like her mother, but her tired demeanor remained from the look of things.

"Okay, I'm ready," Star said tiredly. "Are we gonna go to the palace or what?"

Moon wrapped her arm around Star's shoulder, and the quartet walked to the door and went inside. On the other side of the door was a star-shaped device of sorts, capable of holding the ladies as they got on top of it, with the device starting to glow soon after. Before they paid attention to it, the ladies flew up and went through some sort of portal, with star, heart, spades, diamond, and club sparkles all around it as the women remained in that location for a while.

Once they reached their destination, the ladies found themselves slightly in the air, on top of a similar device like before, only the star was now surrounded by a circle. And though Moon, Eclipsa, and Meteora landed on their feet once they fell, Star slipped and crashed face-first on the ground, muttering "ow" as the queens came to her aid.

"Star, are you alright?!" Moon asked as she helped the lady get up.

"Of course she is, Lunatic!"

Star looked up to see a familiar group jump out of a giant portal. This team was the Magic High Commission, with Rhombulus, Hekapoo, Omnitraxus Prime, and Lekmet jumping out, with the last one holding a book with a pink diamond-shaped crystal in it.

"Star's a mewman, after all!" Hekapoo stated, folding her arms as she nodded. "It'll take a lot more than falling face-first to the ground to hurt her."

Suddenly, Star freed herself from her mother's grasp and leaped straight for Hekapoo, shouting "Hekapie" as the interdimensional redhead caught her and hugged her.

"Hi, Beautyfly," Hekapoo answered as she gently brushed Star's hair.

"Has the day finally come, my Hekapie?" Star caressed Hekapoo's cheeks. "Is this the day I can finally lord over you, as boss and employer?"

"No, Star, Hekapoo remains under my control," Meteora sternly stated, narrowing her eyes as she hissed, "Now stop being all cuddly before I separate you myself."

"We remain star-crossed lovers, my dear Hekapoo," Star pulled the horned redhead closer towards her. "But one day, you will be mine!"

Hekapoo moaned and fainted into a portal, which bounced her back into Omnitraxus' arms. Then, as Star walked to the next member of the commission, Hekapoo blew a kiss at Star, which she catched with delight. The next member was Rhombulus, who tilted his crystal head as Star gave a quick look at the creature.

"Still looking great as always, Rhombulus! Are you gonna be my servant?" Star leaned closer and whispered to Rhombulus' non-existent ear, "'Cause if you are, you'll get to go shirtless for as long as you want!"

Rhombulus chirped up. "Really?!"

Moon coughed, and after looking at the woman's disapproving look, the crystal-headed gut somberly answered, "Sorry, Star, I'm still under servitude of your mother, Queen Moon."

Star turned to Omnitraxus, who stated, "I know what you'll ask, Star, but I'm afraid I, too, remain under control of Eclipsa, my queen."

Eclipsa put her hands on her cheeks and blushed as she said, "What can I say? I like my men big."

"And Lekmet will remain on his own, like usual?" Star asked, with Lekmet nodding in agreement. "So I'll only train with the past queens like always? I don't even get the consolation prize of lording over one of the Magic High Commission?!"

"Oh Star, don't feel upset about the fact you won't have your own personal servant," Eclipsa walked to Star and put her hands on her shoulders, putting up a motherly smile as she explained, "Don't see this as us saying we don't trust you to boss them well, see this as us telling you, right to your face, that you're simply not trustworthy enough to command one of the people in charge of all magic in the universe, and that it would be safer if you remained just friends with all of them."

Star frowned. "I'll never understand how whenever you're not lying through your teeth, you're being honest in the most blunt, painful way possible."

"It's a bad habit that's been passed down the Butterfly bloodline for generations," Meteora explained, rolling her eyes. "Admittedly, We've been trying to deal with it, with little success."

"Anyway, the Magic High Commission's here because they have a topic they want to discuss with us," Moon added, folding her arms behind her back. "So, while we talk with them about whatever topic they need to discuss, we need you to go up to the room of the past queens, and continue with your queen training."

Star turned to look at a door with a tiara image in front, and then she turned back to her fellow queens and asked, with a nervous smile, "With which past queen am I supposed to train with today, again?"

Moon rolled her eyes. "Well, you trained with Solaria yesterday, which I can tell by the amount of carved wooden monster manniquins laying in the training room when we sent the guards to clean it."

Star scratched the back of her head as her mother continued, "I don't want you to go anywhere near Festivia, and Skywynne's most likely stuck reading a dozen or so books at the library... maybe you could go train with Solena?"

"I'm afraid she's usually out at this hour, either trying to impress her current love interest, or falling in love all over again," Eclipsa pointed out, putting a hand on her cheek as she shook her head. "She was known as "The Smitten" for a reason, after all. How about Soupina?"

"She's a weirdo, even by Butterfly standards," Meteora folded her arms and shook her head. "Whatever lesson she could give Star, she probably won't give it to her in a manner that she understands."

"How about I go train with Crescenta, then?" Star suggested, getting the queens' attention. "She's not usually doing anything at this hour, is moderately weird as a Butterfly, and is known as "The Eager!" I'm sure she could spend a couple minutes teaching me a thing or two! In fact, why am I even discussing this? I'll go look for her right now!"

Star ran off to the rooms of the Queens, with the rest of the council and commission watching her run off until she was out of sight.

"Is it just me, or did Star seem a bit more... tired, than usual?" Omnitraxus inquired, getting Moon's attention. "I mean, she usually has a little bit of energy with her, but she looked really drained just now."

"She woke up very early today and didn't get enough sleep," Moon sighed. "Neither did I, mind you, but Star seems to have woken up even earlier."

Lekmet bleated, and Rhombulus translated, "Was there any particular reason for her being awake so early?"

Moon clasped her hands. "She just woke up, and was unable to go back to sleep, no matter how hard she tried."

The woman turned to see the hallway Star ran into, and said:

"I hope this doesn't mean what I think it means."

Hallway of the Past Queens...

Star ran past a wall marked with a lighting bolt. "That's Solaria's room."

Then ran past a similar wall, only marked with an hourglass. "Skywynne..."

And then she stopped right in front of a wall with a curved diamond. Unlike the other walls, this one was glowing, with some intense music somehow playing behind it.

"Festivia, the queen with no shame," Star shook her head before sniffing the wall, causing her to recoil and back away. "Eugh, I can smell her drunken breath from here!"

Unable to stand the smell, Star continued her run across the walls, looking for Crescenta's wall. And though it took her a while, she eventually reached a wall with a crescent moon symbol, which meant the wall belonged to Crescenta.

"Aha, I found you, Crescenta!" Star exclaimed as she walked to the wall. "Now-"

However, the girl suddenly felt somebody, or something, calling her, and she turned around to see the wall to the opposite of Crescenta's.

The wall had a star symbol, which was inside a circle. Not only that, but there was something written on an open tome, sitting on top of a pillar close to the wall. Now, the other walls also had stuff written in tomes as well, but Star never really bothered to read them. They didn't tickle her fancy in a way

But this tome was different, so she walked to it and read to herself:

"The one whose life was most tragic, wound up having the strongest magic. She who prevented disasters foreseen, became known as the eternal high queen. Who guided all future queens, through their onset, and with her bare hands, vaniquished the monster threat."

Star briefly paused, trying to process how the last part rhymed, before finishing:

"And so began, the current dynasty. Ruled by Celena, her shyful majesty."

Star realized something in that moment: "This is... Celena's wall..."

The queen of hearts looked at the wall with temptation, before she shook it off and walked back to the crescent wall.

Star glanced at the circled star wall one more time before she walked into Crescenta's wall, the star in the circle glowing pink afterwards.
