When Two Worlds Collide

Chapter 25- Sharing is Caring

"Dramaaaaa." Glossayrk spoke with attitude.

"Really, Glossaryk!?" Marco exclaimed. He knew this wasn't anything like Star. Something was up. Marco sighed. "Let me go talk to her." Marco said before walking towards the house.

Marco walked into the kitchen, seeing Star angrily chowing down on a box of Sugar Seeds. She stopped chewing the cereal and looked inside the box. She grumbled.

"Not enough sugar." Star said before grabbing a container of sugar, pouring it into the cereal box.

"Star? What's going on?" Marco asked.

"Okay, what makes you think something's going on? There is nothing going on." Star nervously chuckled. Marco cleared his throat.

"Exhibit A?" Marco said, pointing at the sugar seeds that had a mountain of sugar so big on top of it, it was overflowing out of the box. Sugar kept pouring out of the container in her other hand. Star looked down at the cereal before her eyes went wide. She immediately brought the container of sugar upright again, gently placing it on the kitchen counter.

"Star? I know you. You always gorge on sugar seeds when you're upset. You might as well come out and say it." Marco said bluntly. Star took the box of sugar seeds and placed it on the counter next to the sugar, frowning. She breathed in.

"Marco? I...I can't trust anyone else but the three of us with magic." Star said.

"What? Why? I feel like they could really help us if they had-." Marco spoke.

"Come on, Marco! You've seen what trouble it caused back on Mewni! My own mother went behind my back and put Mewni and everyone on it in danger by granting magic to Mina! Why can't I be so sure it won't happen again?" Star said before making her way to the living room. She sat on the sofa with her arms crossed. Marco followed her into the living room.

"Star, listen. I know your mom was wrong to give Mina the magic but...have you thought about why she did what she did?" Marco asked.

"Well, duh. It was because she wanted to take control of Mewni again. She didn't like the way Mewni was and she wanted her old life back. It's how she always is. It's her way or...I don't know! For her, there's no 'or'!" Star said. Marco shook her head.

"I think you got it all wrong." Marco replied.

"Uh-huh. Sure. Okay; says someone who didn't live with her for most of her life. Yeah."

Star told him before letting out a breath.

"Okay, Star? You and your mom just had a heart to heart moment a few minutes ago. You were crying, Star; crying. You were so happy to know that you could come to your mom for anything. I mean...what happened to that?" Star wrapped her arms around herself, trying her hardest to doubt everything Marco was telling her. Sure, Star loved her mom to bits. The fact that Moon went behind her back and gave magic to the enemy made Star's blood boil. Marco could see the sheer denial in Star's face. He really wanted to help her see the light and know her mother's true intentions.

"Look. You don't have to listen to me but...have you ever tried seeing things a little differently? Maybe it's time to show your mom a little forgiveness." Marco said.

"Forgiveness? Forgiveness?! She never forgave me for the things I've done with magic. Why should I forgive her? Why should I change my mind about what she did!?" Star asked him, fueled with anger.

"I would listen to him, Star." Moon said, coming into the living room. Star and Marco jumped and turned their heads, hearing her voice before seeing her standing in the room.
