Sweet Dreams/Transcript

	(theme song)
	Episode begins with Star flying through the clouds. Multiple flying Goblin Dogs appear around her.
Star Butterfly	[gasps] Goblin Dogs? Goblin Dog family?! Whee!
	The Goblin Dogs follow Star through the sky. One of the Goblin Dogs has a face.
Goblin Dog	Star! Star! Will you please eat me?
Star	Don't mind if I do! [eats Goblin Dog]
Goblin Dog	[laughing]
Goblin Dogs	Eat me now, Star! Eat me! Eat all of us! [laughter]
	Star keeps eating Goblin Dogs as she flies. Cut to Star sleeping in bed and chewing on her pillow.
Star	[chewing noises, wakes up] Pleh! What a satisfying and filling dream.
	Someone knocks on Star's door.
Marco Diaz	Star, are you up? [holds out box of Captain Blanche's Sugar Seeds] It's time for breakfast! I found Captain Blanche's Sugar Seeds here on Mewni. They have an importer.
Star	[yawns] Nah, I'm all good. I just had the most amazing dream where I was flying, and then there were all these Goblin Dogs that were also flying, and then I ate them. [burps] Ew. Smells like Goblin Dogs.
Marco	Uh, Star, what are all those?
	Multiple Goblin Dog wrappers are in Star's bed.
Star	What the...? Goblin Dog wrappers?!
Marco	You've been sneaking out to the Goblin Dog truck without me?
Star	No, no, no! I swear, I am not—! [burps up Goblin Dogs receipt] Ew! A receipt? I did go to that dimension! In my sleep?
Marco	How is that possible?
Star	I have... no idea.
	Scene cuts to Butterfly Castle again, at night.
Star	Okay, Marco, you know the plan. You stay up all night and see if whatever happened last night happens again tonight.
Marco	But then what? Shouldn't we tell somebody about this? I mean... I mean, what if—
Star	Marco? Shall I remind you you are my squire? So I order you to sit there and watch me sleep.
Marco	Okay.
Star	Good. [turns off lamp and goes to bed] Oh, and don't tell Tom about this, either.
Marco	Oh, heck no.
Star	Good! Good night.
	Glossaryck jumps into Marco's lap.
Marco	Aah! Glossaryck!
Glossaryck	[yawns] Globgor... [goes to sleep]
Marco	All right, but just for a little while. You're so... warm... and cozy.
	Cut to some time later; Marco has dozed off in his chair.
Marco	[sleepy muttering, snoring]
	Marco's head slumps onto Glossaryck.
Glossaryck	Wha! Whoa! [jumps out of Marco's lap]
Marco	Star?!
	A dimensional portal is open on Star's bed. Star, in her mewberty form, emerges from the portal.
Marco	[gasps]
	Star eats a Goblin Dog and pulls the entire Goblin Dog truck up through the portal.
Truck	[playing music]
	The portal closes, and Star drops the truck on the floor. Star lands on the floor, returns to her normal form, and falls over asleep.
Marco	[shakes Star] Star, wake up!
Star	[wakes up, giggles] Hey, buddy.
Marco	There's definitely something weird going on.
Roy	[panting]
Star	Marco, what happened?
Marco	I might've dozed off for a minute, but when I opened my eyes, you had opened a portal and gone through it.
Star	Without dimensional scissors?
Marco	You came out of the portal as that big scary thing you turned into when you defeated Toffee.
Star	Well, that shouldn't be happening.
	Cut to next morning. Star, Marco, King Butterfly, and Queen Butterfly are seated at the breakfast table.
Star	So, Mom! You know that big butterfly thing you can transform into when you get all mad and feel like scaring people?
Queen Moon	It's not for scaring people, Star.
Star	Right. Right, right, right. So, does that ever happen... unintentionally?
Moon	Well, it starts with mewberty. But after that, it requires years of training.
Star	Oh, good. Good, good, good. But what if it just sort of happened... randomly?
Moon	Star, it doesn't happen randomly. Okay? It happens... in times of need. Like when you defeated Toffee.
Star	But what if it... did happen randomly?
King River	Catastrophe! [laughing] Yes! We'd have to put you in the dungeon!
Moon	River—
River	No! Then the Magical High Commission would come and take you away! There'd be weeks of examinations. You'd be locked away forever! [chortles]
Star	[sinks low in her seat]
Moon	River, please.
River	I mean, if this happened, eventually we'd just have to adopt a new princess.
Moon	River, enough! Star, is everything all right?
Star	Oh! [nervous laugh] Yes. Everything is totally normal, obviously. I was just asking so that I can be prepared to handle it if I ever do learn to transform like you on purpose.
Marco	Queen Moon—
Star	[kicks Marco under the table]
Marco	Ouch! I... have nothing to say.
	Cut to hours later, at evening. Star enters her bedroom with the wrecked Goblin Dog truck sitting on top of her bed.
Star	Food Truck Bed Transform!
	Star restores her bed, with the Goblin Dog logo on the front.
Star	All right, Marco. Let's try this again.
	Marco chains Star to her bed with multiple chains and shackles and locks them with a large key.
Marco	So... this'll keep you from morphing into... Butterfly Star?
Star	Yep! Don't worry, Marco, I got this.
Marco	But even your mom seemed concerned.
Star	My parents cannot know about this! You heard what Dad said! Locked away forever!
Marco	I think he was exaggerating a little.
Star	Marco. My squire. You are the only person I can trust with this. Promise me you won't doze off again.
Marco	Don't worry, not gonna happen. And even if it does, this chain will alert me any time you move, and I'll wake up, too.
Star	Thanks, Marco. [sighs] Good night. [goes to sleep]
	Marco sits down on a footstool, and Glossaryck jumps into his lap again.
Marco	Aah! Glossaryck! Oh, no, you don't. You're not making me fall asleep this time! [puts Glossaryck outside Star's room] Out you go. [closes door]
Glossaryck	Globgor?
	Cut to hours later, late at night. Marco has once again dozed off.
Marco	[snoring]
	Something glows off-screen. Objects around Star's room start floating, and Marco gets hit in the back by Star's star-shaped purse.
Marco	Oof! [falls over] Huh? [gasps]
	Star, in her butterfly form, floats over her bed and struggles against her chains. A dimensional portal over the bed sucks up everything in the room.
Star	[grunting]
	Some of Star's chains break, and she pulls her bed with her into the portal.
Marco	Star!
	The chain attached to Marco's leg starts getting pulled into the portal.
Marco	Oh, no. Aah!
	Marco gets pulled into the portal. He and Star fly into the space-like void between dimensions.
Marco	Whoa! [dodging asteroids] Ah! Ahh! [sees vending machine fly by] Huh? [gets hit in the face with a bag of Gold'n Crispz] What the...?
	Marco flies past Ludo. Ludo waves to Marco. Marco waves back. Star drags Marco through an asteroid field.
Marco	Aah! Whoa! Whaaa! [grunting] Star! Wake up!
	Marco grabs the chain connected to his leg, pulls himself toward Star, and grabs her ankle.
Star	Marco?
Marco	I need you to fly us back to that portal!
Star	Portal? Ohhh...
	Star grabs Marco and flies back toward the portal. Her butterfly wings start to fade away, an the horns on her headband shrink to normal size.
Star	Huh? Seriously?
	Star reverts back to normal form, and she and Marco drift out of control.
Star and Marco	[wailing]
	Star and Marco float past the portal.
Star	Oh, no-no-no.
	Glossaryck appears out of the portal with a chain of cloths tied around him.
Star	What?
	Star and Marco grab the cloth chain, and they are pulled through the portal.
Star and Marco	[screaming]
	They end up back in Star's bedroom. Glossaryck hops over to Eclipsa.
Eclipsa Butterfly	Are you two all right?
Star	Eclipsa! I am so glad you're here. Wait a minute. Why are you here?
Eclipsa	I'm returning this little guy after he wandered into my tower.
Marco	Eclipsa?! [gasps] Isn't she that ancient evil queen everyone's talking about? We don't trust you one bit!
Eclipsa	Oh, are you afraid I'll get my evil cooties on you?
Marco	[assumes karate pose] Stay back, woman!
Eclipsa	[imitates karate pose] What's this? Some sort of sword hand dance? This looks fun.
Marco	Don't come any closer!
Star	Marco, she's really not dangerous.
Eclipsa	Aren't you adorable?
Marco	Who are you calling adorable?!
Star	Stop! I have had ten times my daily dose of weirdness in the last hour, so let's just call it a night, okay?
Marco	What? Y-Y-You can't just—
Star	Nope. [pushes Marco out the door] Nope-nope-nope-nope-nope-nope-nope-nope-nope. [closes door, groans]
	Eclipsa starts to leave.
Star	Eclipsa! Wait. Wait-wait-wait. I need to ask you something.
	Cut to Star and Eclipsa having tea.
Star	[sighs] So, that's about it. Every night, I still go all "Rah! Butterfly monster!" [sighs] I just wish I could stop it.
Eclipsa	Do you need to stop it?
Star	You saw what happened tonight. It was horrible.
Eclipsa	What about the other times? Were they so horrible?
Star	Well, no, not exactly. In fact, they were really fun. They were actually the most amazing dreams I've ever had.
Eclipsa	I wouldn't run from these dreams.
	A flying teapot refills Eclipsa's teacup.
Eclipsa	I would embrace them. See where they take me.
Star	Really? You think I should just let them happen?
Eclipsa	It's the only way to learn what you're truly capable of. All knowledge is good knowledge, I always say. Well, I should get back to my tower before the guards realize I'm missing.
Star	Oh, yeah. How did you break out of there, anyway? I thought you were under tower arrest.
Eclipsa	So long as we're spilling secrets... Oh, Captain! Permission to come aboard?
	The sea captain in the portrait on Star's wall winks. The portrait opens to reveal a secret passageway.
Star	Whaaaaat?! I never knew that was there!
Eclipsa	Yes, I used these secret tunnels constantly when I was your age. All knowledge is good knowledge, my dear.
	Cut to the following night. Marco enters Star's bedroom.
Marco	Okay, so the chains were a bust. But how about...? [holds out bottle of magic glue]
Star	Actually, Marco, I don't need you to watch me tonight.
Marco	Oh! Did you figure out how to stop transforming?
Star	No, but I thought maybe I should see what I'm capable of or whatever.
	Star poofs up a new bed.
Marco	Star, you don't know anything about this.
Star	Yeah, and I'll never know anything about it if I keep trying to stop it. I know it's weird, but I really need to see this through, okay?
Marco	Okay, I guess. But could you at least take my dimensional scissors with you in case you get trapped?
Star	Sorry, Marco, but if I'm gonna do this, I can't do it halfway.
Marco	Okay, fine! I tried to help! No one can say I didn't try! Because I tried. So if you die out there, don't go blaming me, all right?
Star	[happily] All right!
Marco	[angrily] All right! [sighs] Well... good luck out there.
	Marco leaves the room. Star turns off the lights and goes to sleep. Her cheek marks start glowing. When Marco comes back, he sees a dimensional portal in her bed. He sits down on the footstool, and Glossaryck jumps onto his lap.
Glossaryck	Globgor...
Marco	Yeah, Gloss. I'm not sure she can do this alone, either.
	Episode ends on shot of the dimensional portal in Star's bed.
