(( Marco's POV ))
I'm already starting to get sick of this.
I sat beside her, holding her slender hand, feeling her pulse.
Still there.
What should I do? Ugh.
Ask from help from Mama? No she wouldn't know how to handle a girl from another dimension.
Unless...
Maybe calling King and Queen Butterfly would help.
I went to the magic mirror.
"Call King and Queen Butterfly."
"Calling King and Queen Butterfly."

(( Star's POV ))
It was a normal dream I guess, me and Marco were fighting Ludo and team.
Suddenly, everything momentarily stopped, even Marco was frozen in 'time'. It was only me.
I went up to Marco but my hand went straight through him. His look was focused, like one in battle.
A tall, long figure, dressed in a equally long black robe to match her height strolled in, stopping straight in front of me.
I didn't know where she came from, I didn't see, but I knew that when she was in front of me, I had to look at the way up just to see her face. My neck was stretched to its limits, the thing was that tall.
And it wasn't only her robe that was black. So were her legs, arms and all exposed parts of her body uncovered by the robe. Hideous.
Her face was worse. A messy untamed mob of black jet hair hung from her head, her face was old and wrinkly, her nose long and sharp. She used to long black wand, pointing it at me.
"You know you remind me of a witch," I shouted out, hoping she could here me from my angle. She could just trample me if she wanted to.
But I wasn't scared. This is just a dream, anyway.
"So what if it's a dream? It's still happening, you're still looking at me."
Could she read my mind?
"Yes I can. You must be wondering who am I, I know that," she went on, "I am the Enchantress of Kingdom Newmi. It's a pleasure meeting you, Princess Star Butterfly of Kingdom Mewni."
I blinked for a few seconds, astounded. My neck was hurting too much from trying to stare at her face, so I just looked at her hideous feet with the mouldy looking toenails.
"Why haven't I heard from you from my parents before? Why are our kingdoms so similar? And what is your purpose in I visiting me?" I questioned. I needed answers.
"Be glad that I'm in a good mood today, Star Butterfly. I shall start with the first question."
"It was a shame, I was the one that should have ended up with your father, not her. "
"Your mother, my best friend, was also my arch enemy. My rival in terms of grades and love. She was always better than me. I hated that."
"I was quite proud of Wizardry Studies and I am glad to tell you that I had successfully mastered the art of consciousness. It took a while, but it was worth it. And now lastly, I'm here to take your wand. As revenge, to steal the powers of Mewni."
I rolled my eyes laughing.
"Nice life story and all, but you can't take my wand. How are you going to do that?" I underestimated her.
"Now this is the fun bit. Have you forgotten about you and your 'coma'? Guess who's behind it? Me, duh."
"So when you're asleep, who's going to be able to snatch your wand? Me again, great job!" She sneered sarcastically.
"It doesn't matter if I tell you my plans anyway, for once I make you go in eternal slumber, you won't be able to stop me. And yes, I need you to know me, recognise this face, for I have to let them know for it is me who did it all! They shall suffer in misery, when I suck all of their powers dry!"

(( Marco's POV ))
"SHE'S WHAT-?"
"Yes she's kinda in a deep sleep that she can't wake up to, so I kinda need your help to tell me how to wake her up?"
"ITS HER! SHE HAS COME BACK! I WILL GET THE SPELL BOOK!!" Queen Butterfly ran off, frenzied.
"Uh..." Marco looked at King Butterfly.
The King cleared his throat, "Well boy, it seems that our old enemy is back. JUST KEEP CALM AND REMEMBER WHAT I SAY."
The King, for the first time Marco has seen, was getting a bit worked up.
"Basically our Star has fallen into an eternal slumber only to be awaken by the one who cast the sleep over her. This person happens to be someone we know of, this part is not important, but you must and should have already known that Star can't wake up once she slept AND the one and only way to wake her up is a countering force to the person's evil forces. "
"Which is..?"
"That we can't answer. Because we don't know, although we have a spell, but this can only work once, so it's up to you boy, to figure that part out."
Marco nodded, the seriousness dawning on him slowly.
"And lastly, you must know that what the person wants to achieve is to take the wand, so you have to protect it at all costs."
"I will."
The Queen arrived with a huge old book. She flipped nervously to a page, staring at the sleeping Star, and cast her spell.
Star awoke with a loud, audible gasp. Her parents looked relieved.
The King said again, "Marco, you have to protect her and the wand at all costs. Otherwise, our whole Kingdom might collapse!"
With that, they ended the call. Marco guessed that they were also finding the answers to their question too.
He stared at Star, breathing quickly.
Star stared back at him, feeling beads of perspiration form on her forehead, her catching her own breath. It felt like a nightmare.
It was a nightmare.
By who else? The Enchantress, queen of the world of dreams and consciousness.
