Episode begins at the Lucitor family lake house in the Underworld. Tom surfs on a surfboard in the lava ocean. As he surfs, his mother Wrathmelior takes photos of him with a camera. The camera dispenses a photo, and Wrathmelior waves it in her hand. | |
Wrathmelior Lucitor | [trills tongue, shows photo to Dave] |
Dave Lucitor | That's my boy! |
Exasperella | That's my nephew! |
Gloominus | I'm not related to him! |
Star appears in the surf next to Tom, wearing a lava-protection suit and surfing on top of Cloudy on top of a surfboard. | |
Tom Lucitor | Excuse me, miss. Couldn't help but notice that that lava suit really "suits" you. |
Star Butterfly | Well, you don't look so bad yourself, stranger. Well, maybe a little bit bad. |
Tom | Roar! |
Star | Last one ashore is a rotten gargoyle egg! |
Tom | Oh, no, ya don't! |
Star | [removes helmet] Oh, thanks, Tom. That was so much fun! But I gotta boogie. |
Tom | Aw, you leaving already? The party's just getting started! [Star tosses her lava suit on his head] |
Star | Thank you so much for the wonderful day, everyone. Lord and Lady Lucitor, it was a pleasure to see you again. |
Dave | Yeah, well, some of us are pretty hard to miss. |
Wrathmelior | [chuckles] |
Star | And Gloominus, Exasperella, wonderful meeting you both. |
Exasperella | Well, it was a pleasure, dearie. |
Gloominus | You know, I was a mean tap dancer 20 years ago. |
There is an awkward pause, and Exasperella stares at Gloominus. | |
Tom | Wait, Star. So, where are you going? |
Star | I gotta help Marco make dinner for his family. |
Tom | Ooooor... you could stay. |
Star | I'm sorry, Tom, but I promised Marco I'd be there. You understand. |
The sky suddenly gets dark, and thunder crashes as storm clouds roll in over the beach. | |
Dave | Uh-oh, one of our nasty storms is rolling in. It looks like it might not be safe to travel, Star. |
Tom | Guess you'll just have to stay here with us 'til it blows over. |
Star | What? No. I'm not gonna let a little drizzle get in my way. See ya later, handsome! |
Star starts to float away on Cloudy, but he gets struck by lightning and goes flying uncontrollably, and Star falls. | |
Cloudy | [shrieks] |
Star | [screaming] |
Tom | [catches Star] Oof! You okay? |
Star | I'm okay, I'm okay. Maybe I should— |
Cloudy | [flies past background screaming] |
Star | Maybe I should— |
Cloudy | [flies past background again screaming] |
Star | Maybe I should— |
Cloudy | [flies past background yet again screaming] |
Tom | Maybe you should come inside! |
Cut to lake house interior; Star and the Lucitors sit around the den as fireballs rain from the sky outside. | |
Tom | You okay, Star? That was a close call. |
Star | Yeah, I'm fine, but my dinner with Marco... How long is this gonna last? |
Thunder crashes outside. Star startled and holds onto Tom's arm. | |
Star | [blushes, chuckles nervously] Hi. |
Dave | Yeah, this one looks pretty bad. We might be stuck here for a while. |
Everyone | [groans] |
Tom | No way! I'm gonna miss out on all those gnarly pounders! Why did I even bring my surfboard? |
Exasperella | Well, how do you think I feel? Cooped up with my weird boyfriend and my gigantic little sister? |
Wrathmelior | [growling lowly] |
Gloominus | I like pickles okay, but I can't stand cucumbers. |
Exasperella | [sarcastic] Well, thank you, Mr. Personality. |
Star | Well, it has been forever since I got to hang with the Lucitor family. [laughs] Family bonding! |
Cut to Star and Lucitors playing Drabble, which is very similar to Scrabble. Two crossed words on the game board spell out "DEPTHS" and "SULPHUR". | |
Exasperella | ...H-U-R, "Sulphur". That's 30 points. |
Star | Oh, nice one, Exasperella! |
The painting behind Star and Tom screeches. | |
Star | What the heck was that?! |
Tom | Oh, that's just a painting of my great grandfather Relicor. He was quite the lady killer. [chuckles] Uh... |
Star | So, what's with all the shrieky business? |
Tom | Oh, he just wants to join us for Drabble. It's his favorite game. |
The painting opens up on hinges, and the real Relicor Lucitor is seen behind it. | |
Relicor Lucitor | [shrieks] |
Tom | Watch out. He cheats. |
Wrathmelior | [trills, leaves the room] |
Dave | Oh, good idea, Honeybunch. |
Star | What did she say? |
Dave | Oh, she said that she wanted to mix up some refreshing demonade. |
Exasperella | Oh, none for me, thanks. I never touch the stuff. [scoops up some of Gloominus' slime and sips it] |
Gloominus | You know, the thing about demonade is that— |
Star | Well, I'll go give Wrathmelior a hand. It's been a while since we had any one-on-one time. [leaves the room] |
Relicor | [flutters to couch, shrieks] |
In the kitchen, Wrathmelior cuts up demonfruit with a knife. | |
Star | Hey, Wrath! I thought you could use some help. I figured it's been a while since we got to hang. You know, get in some female bonding. So, put me to work. What can I do? |
Wrathmelior | [ignores Star, continues cutting] |
Star | [to demon blender] She always like this when she's cooking? |
Wrathmelior removes the demon blender's head. | |
Star | [shrieks] |
Wrathmelior | [trills, points at demonfruit, then points at blender] |
Star | Ohhhh-ho-ho-ho-ho! Demonfruit goes in the demon blender. A-doy! Got it. [scoops demonfruit into blender] So, this is some crazy weather we're having, isn't it? On Earth, Marco says it rains cats and dogs, but I've never actually seen any, so... [laughs] |
Wrathmelior | [huffs] |
Star | [puts top on overstuffed blender] What's new with you? Bet you've been pretty busy. |
Demon Blender | Uh, y-you... you kind of overfilled! |
Star | I know I have. |
The overstuffed demon blender explodes... | |
Star | [shrieks] Oh! |
and burning demonfruit flies all over the kitchen and comes to life. | |
Demonfruit | [laughing] |
They run around the kitchen, knocking stuff over and causing general mayhem. One of them singes Star's backside. | |
Star | Aah! All right, Wrathmelior! You get the blender – I'll take care of these little creeps! |
Demonfruit | [yelling] |
Star | Get back here, you little...! |
One demonfruit shakes his butt; Star steps on him. Another demonfruit climbs up the walls; Star smashes it with a frying pan. Three demonfruit dance on the table; Star squishes them with a rolling pin. Three more demonfruit lurk by the kitchen window; Star gets rid of them with karate kicks and punches. | |
Star | Now come on out! |
Four demonfruit pounce on Star and tackle her to the floor. | |
Star | [screams] Wrathmelior, I need you! |
Wrathmelior | [sighs] |
Wrathmelior flicks the rest of the demonfruit away with one finger. They burst into flames on the wall. | |
Star | Wow, we make a pretty good team, don't we? [extends high-five] High five, girlfriend! |
Wrathmelior | [ignores Star, smashes demon blender, walks away] |
Star | Uh... she left me hangin'. |
Star and Wrathmelior return to the den. | |
Relicor | [shrieks off-screen] |
Star | What happened here? |
Tom sits angrily on the couch. The table at the center of the room is destroyed and on fire. | |
Dave | Oh, there was a disagreement. |
Relicor | [shrieks from behind painting] |
Tom | "Milkshake" is totally a word, Relicor! |
Star | Hey! What's this? [picks up photo album] Is this a family photo album? Oh, this will be so much fun! |
Wrathmelior | [growls happily, gestures everyone to another room] |
Star | Hey, Tom, can we talk just a second? |
Tom | I know, I know, I know. Sorry. Our Drabble games can get pretty heated. |
Star | No, no, no, no, no. It isn't that. Although, that was really scary. We'll have a conversation later. Earlier, in the kitchen, your mom seemed upset, and when I went to high five her, she totally left me hangin'. |
Tom | Star, the woman's name is Wrathmelior. She's always upset about something. Come on, let's go look at some embarrassing family photos. |
Cut to Tom's baby picture in the album. | |
Tom | (o.s.) Oh, come on, Mom! You just had to start with that one! |
Wrathmelior | [chuckles, trills] |
Star | Oh, Tom! Well, you were just the sweetest little baldy bear! |
Wrathmelior | [trilling] |
Wrathmelior turns the album page to Tom as a young child, holding a one-eyed pet. | |
Tom | (o.s.) Little Lord Fool-leroy! |
Wrathmelior | [trilling lullaby] |
Dave | [gasps] And who is this young couple? |
Photo shows Tom giving Star a flower at the Silver Bell Ball. | |
Star | (o.s.) Aah! The Silver Bell Ball! |
Exasperella | Oh, here we go. The "Star and Tom" section. |
Photo shows Tom giving Star her horned headband. | |
Star | (o.s.) Awww, when I got my horns. |
Tom | (o.s.) You mean our second date? |
Wrathmelior | [huffs, quickly turns album page] |
Photo shows Star and Pony Head at Star's going-away party before she leaves for Earth for the first time. Tom is in the background. | |
Star | Wait a minute. Tom, you were at my going-away party? Why don't I remember that? |
Wrathmelior | [turns the page] |
Star | Oh, my gosh. Is that when you and me had our—? |
Wrathmelior | [turns the page again] |
Star | Ohhhh! Your carriage! You took me to the Blood Moon Ball in that. |
Photo shows Tom in his white suit, leaning on his carriage. | |
Tom | (o.s.) Yeah, that thing took forever to put together. |
Star | Wait, you built that crazy thing? |
Tom | Well, I... I made it so... so I could drive you to the Blood Moon Ball. But it didn't really go as planned, I guess. |
Wrathmelior stands up with a grumble. More thunder crashes outside the house. She starts crying and leaves the room. | |
Dave | [sighs] She's— You know, memories just... get her all misty-eyed. Honey? Honey! [follows Wrathmelior] |
Tom | Maybe that's enough of this. [puts photo album on bookshelf] |
Star | Okay, whatever your mom's mad about, it's definitely something I did. |
Tom | Well, she likes you, but I think she's concerned you might hurt me again. |
Star | Wait, why? Just because we broke up? Everybody breaks up! That's what teenagers do! Teenagers are dumb! |
Tom | Oh, I know, I know. I had issues I had to deal with. |
Star | Okay, well, then what is going on? |
Tom | Well, it might be... because you kissed Marco. |
Star | You knew about that? ...And you didn't say anything?! |
Tom | Oh, no! I know it wasn't on purpose! I-It was an unusual situation. You know, with that weird photo booth guy and all. |
Star | But you told your mom and you didn't tell me? |
Tom | You're not supposed to be angry. I am. If I had kissed Marco, wouldn't you want me to tell you? |
Star | Well, I don't know. Yeah, yeah, I guess. |
Tom | But... you didn't tell me. |
Star | ...I gotta go. |
Star leaves the lake house and walks into the stormy weather. | |
Tom | Star! I know it didn't mean anything! But that doesn't mean I didn't wanna talk about it. So, I talked with my mom. |
Wrathmelior looks out the window and sees Star and Tom outside. | |
Tom | Let's... Let's just go inside, okay? |
A tidal wave of lava rises up near Tom. | |
Star | Tom! |
Wrathmelior | [gasps] |
Wrathmelior watches in horror as the tidal wave drags Tom into the ocean. | |
Tom | Whoa! Whoa! Aah! |
Star | Oh, no! I'm coming! |
Star grabs her surfboard and uses her magic to jet across the lava. | |
Tom | [gasps] Aah! |
As Star rockets toward Tom, she dodges fireballs falling from the sky. | |
Tom | Star, it's too dangerous! |
Another giant tidal wave rises behind Tom. | |
Tom | [gasps] |
Wrathmelior bursts through the door outside and sees Star's surfboard floating on the lava, broken in half. | |
Wrathmelior | [gasping and sobbing] |
A magic bubble washes up on shore, and Star and Tom are inside. | |
Star | Tom? |
Tom | [groans] Are you an angel? |
Star | Nah, I got a demon for a boyfriend. You okay? |
Tom | Yeah, I feel pretty good. |
Wrathmelior grabs Tom, holds him close, and cries tears of joy. | |
Tom | Mom, stop! I'm okay! I'm okay! Oh, jeez, you don't have to cry. |
Tom is engulfed in his mother's tears, and the sky clears up. | |
Star | Wha... What's happening? |
Tom | [sees a rainbow] Wait. Was that one of your storms? |
Wrathmelior | [low grunting] |
Tom | Oh, no... |
Star | [shouting] What'd she say? |
Dave | Sorry, Star. My wife has her own emotional weather system. Haven't seen a storm like that since her sister started going out with her ex-boyfriend. |
Exasperella | [slurps drink] She can have him. |
Wrathmelior | [low grunting] |
Tom | My mom says she's sorry about the storm. |
Wrathmelior | [low grunting] |
Tom | She says that sometimes her temper gets the best of her. |
Wrathmelior | [low grunting] |
Tom | And she wants to take one more picture of the two of us. |
Wrathmelior pushes Star and Tom together. | |
Star and Tom | Oof! |
Tom | For the family album. |
Wrathmelior | [takes Star and Tom's photo, trills] |
Relicor | [shrieks] |
Dave | Relicor says he's got two burgers with you kids' names on 'em. |
Tom | Oh, I would hate for Star to break her plans with the Diazes. |
Star | You know what? [shrieks] |
Tom | What? W-What was that? |
Star | It was demon for, "A burger sounds great." |
Tom | Ohhhh. But for the record, that's not what you said. |
Star | What? |
(end song) |
