Star vs. the Forces of Evil

Mama! I need to talk to you. I can't believe it!

- Star, I'm in the middle of... - It's blowing my beautiful mind!

Okay, I have been meaning to talk to you, as well.

We need to discuss what happened at the temple.

Right? Isn't it bonkers that Heinous is Eclipsa's daughter?

Mina told me everything!

Mina! What are you talking about?

Listen, I won't have you making up ridiculous stories

to distract from the real issue here!

The little party you threw at the Monster Temple?

I told you that it was dangerous

to rush the Mewman and monster relationship.

You should have checked with me first!

What? No, that's not what I'm talking about!

Besides, you should've checked with me

before you sent Rhombulous in to storm the whole place!

Rhombulous? I didn't send Rhombulous!

- Lies! - You barge in here

with ridiculous claims about Heinous,

make a mess in my office and call me a liar?

I don't have time for this!

What? Hey! No, no, no, no!

I am not finished talking about this yet!

What are we gonna do about Heinous?

How could you do this to your precious baby girl?

You're not a baby, so stop acting like one!

I'm not a baby? I'll show you a baby!

No! I came here to talk about Heinous,

- and that's just what I'm gonna do. - Ugh!

There you go, rushing into things again!

Ugh! Dad, now is not the time!

I really need to talk to Mom!

Agh, you don't know what you need!

- I'm sorry? - But I do.

- Hunting trip! - What?

Just like my father did with me,

whose father did with him,

and his father did with him!

Just right after I talk to Mom about this...

Ha ha! That's what I said to my father before me,

and what he said to his father before him

and his father before him and his brother...

Uh, Dad!

Dad, what are we doing here?

We have a royal family crisis on our hands!

There's always a crisis.

Okay, I'm just gonna call Mom and...

No, you don't.

Papa, what are you doing?!

Ahh!

Hello? Hello? Star is that you?

She's busy.

Starship, listen to me.

This is a very important hunt, and I want you here for it.

Once it's over, you can return to your little crisis,

but until then, you're all mine. Deal?

Fine... Can we please hurry, then?

As soon as we find Eddie.

I'm right here!

That's me, Eddie!

I have the markings of a plant,

but in fact I'm just a regular fella.

Oh! Eddie, you old bottom dweller!

Ha ha! True, I am a bit of a creeper.

Yeah, you are.

So, what brings you to this neck of the parks?

The Bogbeast of Boggabah!

Wowee! Is it that time already?

Bogbeast? Sounds easy enough.

Ah, you're a first-timer, clearly.

This is no trifle matter!

The last thing you want is to face the beast ill-prepared.

I remember my first Bogbeast hunt.

It did not go well.

Well, I'll alert the others!

You better get prepped!

How long is this gonna take?

It takes as long as it takes!

Listen for the Bogbeast song.

That's when you know it's near.

Come, Star!

Coming.

Okay, the first ritual

is to cleanse our minds of fear!

The beast can smell your fears before you're even afraid.

Uh-huh. Okay, yeah, so what do we do first?

We sweat!

Oh... kay.

Look, look!

I got one!

Ugh, forget this!

Summoning cloudy charm!

We good here?

It's time to learn

how to be one with our surroundings.

A voila!

The ancient skill of camouflage!

But before you start,

you must check every leaf carefully.

Yeah, I have a better idea.

No! You'll accidentally pick up the baby bog dragons that live there!

Huh?

Easy, little dragon babies!

Next task!

Mewman hair-braiding is very important.

Oh.

It teaches focus

and attention to detail!

Ugh! Dad!

Ah, yeah...

There!

Ooh!

Now do me.

The Bogbeast song!

Let's go get it!

Honey, we must finish the rituals!

- But... - Make me pretty!

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Done!

Thank you, pumpkin.

Next ritual!

Dad!

Okay, the last ritual is to teach focus.

To protect ourselves,

we must cover our bodies with ancient markings!

Ahh! Like tattoos?

No! Ancient markings!

That doesn't seem hard.

And kinda cool.

Dip the stick... Careful, uh, slowly.

There we are!

Way ahead of you!

Fascinating! Can we start the hunt now?

Yes! Just 100 more scrolls to go.

Make sure you get the curve.

Don't forget the curve at the end.

Uh-huh, uh-huh. Got the curve.

There, done!

Very good, milkshake!

Now, let's see what you...

"Boy Beatz"?

That's supposed to say "Bogbeast"!

Ha! I'm afraid we'll have to start all over.

What? Oh, no.

All right, I'll get the ink and then...

Oh, no, I mean all over,

from the very beginning!

Tallyho!

What? Ugh.

Ugh, okay! We sweated, we camouflaged,

we braided, and we protected

our bodies with ancient scroll thingies!

I am ready!

Wait! I'll tell you if you're ready or not.

Look into my eyes.

Hmm. Mm-hmm.

Yes.

You are ready! Ack!

My back! Don't worry!

This happens all the time.

Just... need to sit down.

But I'm ready!

Actually, no, you're not.

I lied, just as my father lied to me,

and his father lied to him and his father lied... He was a liar.

Now, come lay down,

and we'll start over fresh in the morning...

What, you're asleep?!

Ugh! Okay.

He's here.

That's it! Bogbeast, I'm coming for you!

The Bogbeast! Yow!

Ugh! Oh!

Are you kidding me?

I don't have time for this!

What the...?

Geh!

Aah!

Uh... hello?

Hello?

Who is there?

Oh!

Bogbeast, is that you?

Uh... no!

Don't... don't...

Don't come any closer!

What? Huh?

Greetings, all!

I present you the Bogbeast of Boggabah!

Huh?

Congratulations, pumpkin!

Ah, what?

Me...? I am not the Bogbeast!
