When Two Worlds Collide

Chapter 5- Code Name: Pigeon

"Now I can share my beautiful gorgeous face with everybody now because seriously, who are we kidding, I'm flawless!" Ponyhead explained quite loudly. Star sighed.

"Well...at least she doesn't seem mad at me anymore." Star said.

"Turns out she didn't heed your warning though." Eclipsa added. She saw another video on the screen. "Click on this one." She said, pointing to it. Janna clicked on the video, showing Ponyhead standing near a fence. Horses stood on the other side it.

"So it turns out that, like, I have long lost cousins here but they have legs and stuff. They don't talk either so like, they're not party animals like me." One of the horses began to eat her hair. "Hey, hey! Listen, you need to learn about personal space. I have a bubble, alright? It's my bubble, not yours." Another horse licked her face. Ponyhead's eye started twitching as she slowly floated away from them. "Okay, these guys are just weird so I'm just going away now." A horse suddenly whinnied extremely loud. "Yo, cousin! You need a throat lozenge or something!" The video ended right after.

"Oookayyy then." Marco reacted, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm afraid this doesn't tell us where she is." Eclipsa added.

"Well, looks like this is the last video she posted." Janna said, pressing the space bar. Instead of her giddy self, Ponyhead was upset, crying as her makeup smudged all over her face.

"I don't like this world anymore. I try to be nice to these humans and what do they do? They push me, throw trash at me, tell me to get out of their town when I know so well that I live here now too, okay? Like, what did I ever do to these people, huh?" Ponyhead said. Star watched as she saw her best friend tear up. She never liked seeing her friends cry, Ponyhead being one of them. Sure she'll cry from soap operas and boy bands. These were a whole new level of tears though. This made Star hurt inside, so much that she looked away from the laptop, glancing at her feet,

"...Star...if you're out there, girl..." Ponyhead began to say. Star suddenly lifted her head up, hearing her name. "I was wrong, okay? I admit it. I was wrong. I was wrong and you were right. We better still be friends after this because if I lose a friend like you, I have literally nothing left" She got closer to the camera. "No, like, seriously I'm thankful for other people in my life and all but you're the only one that gets me, you know?" Star smiled, close to shedding a happy tear. Hearing Ponyhead say all these things made Star feel a bit better about herself. She was doing the right thing. It was nice to hear that. Once the video ended, everyone turned their head to Star. They could tell she was absolutely conflicted.

"You okay?" Marco asked her, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Mmmhmm." Star cleared her throat. "Yeah, I'm fine. Let's just um...keep looking."

"Let me search a little deeper in the web." Janna said, typing on her laptop once again. Suddenly, a search result titled, Horsehead Monster Kidnapped, appeared on the screen. The group gasped.

"Oh no." Marco uttered under his breath.

"Click it. Click it now!" Star exclaimed. Janna quickly tapped on it. A shaky video taken by what looks like a cell phone came up on the screen. In the distance, you could see Ponyhead walking down the sidewalk with the biggest frown on her face. Suddenly, a figure in a black cape came from behind her. You could hear the person taking the phone whispering to someone.

"Wait...who's that?" Eclipsa asked, pointing at the figure on the screen. The figure suddenly took a cloth bag and snatched Ponyhead inside of it. The group gasped. The figure walked away with Ponyhead in the sack.

"Ponyhead was kidnapped?!" Marco asked himself, holding his head in a panic. Star took a close look at the laptop screen.

"Janna, rewind it a bit." Star said. Janna took her mousepad and rewound the video, right before Ponyhead was taken. The video started playing again. Star gasped. "Wait, pause it there!" Star brought her head closer to the screen, looking at the perpetrator's arm. It wasn't an arm though. She glared at it.
