The girl easily navigated along the crowd, pulling Finn along who was quite surprised by her strong grip when he shook off from his dazed state and tried to shake her tight grip off and failed.
'Unnatural but expected. 'Finn thought absent mindedly, he wondered how strange fate was, or was this simply how things were supposed to progress. Or maybe it could be more because of coincidence.
What had resulted in such a state from Finn was the identity of the girl herself.
Even though she had the most normal appearance, normal human eyes, normal human skin, and normal everything else, what had truly put Finn in a stump was not her outwards identity as a human, no, many species in Ooo could also be said to have outward human characteristics. What had truly caught Finn's attention was the identity of the girl herself that he knew her quite well actually.
The fact there was another human in this festival was not that shocking being that the festival somehow connected different dimensions. But her identity was the one that was quite curious.
The girl had stopped in a darker part of the wizard arena, a part concealed by shrubs as she looked around vigilantly, squinting her eyes, and then after a while she grew satisfied enough that a wide smile returned to her, the air around her more approachable and relaxed.
Finn studied the blonde-haired blue eyes girl. What equally caught his attention was her otherwise strange sense of fashion, from her odd boots she wore on her legs, to the red devil horn hair band that held her blonde hair in place.
Her smile grew wider and the rose-pink heart-shaped symbols on her cheeks only became more prominent as the longer he continued to look at her, he did not know why, Finn was just sure that those were real. But of course, they were. This was a literal magical princess in front of him.
"Sorry for pulling you back there, I was running away from my guards. They're so annoying! "She smiled widely as she said this words, with a proud tone at what she had managed. And Finn was not surprised at all. To his knowledge, the girl in front of him could potentially beat him up without breaking a sweat.
Finn suddenly had a mischievous thought thinking about how the girl had earlier refused to let him go and immediately acted on it.
He put on a pitiful expression and raised his arms pitifully.
"Please don't hurt me, I don't have any money at all! "He exaggeratedly said doing his best at a panicking voice.
Star at first looked confused, she then looked at him strangely, studying the surrounding in depth. She then thought about what he had said.
She finally noticed the strange dark environment, far from any onlookers and a perfect place to continently rob someone. She then though of how she had earlier pulled him and brought him here and it all clicked.
A look of shock came to her face. "I'm not a robber! And I don't want any of your money. I'm sorry for pulling you along earlier, it was my mistake, please accept my apology. "The young princess looked quite frantic as she uttered these words and said them in one sole breath.
Finn found himself laughing at her panic which once more attracted her attention and made her realize she had been tricked.
She puffed up her cheeks unwillingly and finally burst herself into her own fit of laughter. The tension had eased.
"My name is Star by the way! But hey, you don't look like everyone else from around here, are you also from Mewni? But I've never seen you… and I know everyone from Mewni. That must mean you're not from Mewni! So, you must be from a different dimension! That's so cool. Do you want to be friends? "
Finn was amazed with how the girls would sprout out their random thoughts at completely random times and how fast her mentality would change. She truly lacked any filters at all. But her eagerness did give Finn a certain lightness to his mood, and he chuckled slightly at her energetic self.
"Oh, dang it, did I mess up. Was I too direct? Could it be you don't want to be friends! Ah, I didn't even ask for your name, how horrible of me." Star held her head in panic, thinking the boy who was her age had rejected her request for friendship. How could that be, was it because she had blurted out her thoughts without giving out her own name!
But hope was not lost yet, Star could still recover.
"It's nice to meet you Star. My name is Finn Mertins and no, I'm not from Mewni. I'm a human that was born in Ooo. And yes, I would like to be your friend. "Finn was not sure what the confirmed princess of Mewni was thinking about, but from the strange expression on the girl's face, he thought it would be something funny.
So, before she would pull up another strange plan, Finn had already replied to her earlier questions.
He saw how her furrowed brows relaxed and once more a happy smile came to her, Finn was even sure he had seen Rainbows appear in her eyes. And the rose heart marks on her cheeks grew brighter. A genuinely interesting site.
"Did you really agree, Yayyy. I have a new friend now. "Star sprung with Joy and Finn found himself in a tight hug that quickly made him short of breath. How strong was this girl who looked about his age!
Star had started jumping excitedly in happiness and Finn could only part her back signaling to be put down.
She finally let go and Finn had thought her excitement had waned, but he was soon proven wrong.
"Finn, that's a cool name! And you're from Ooo right, I've never been to Ooo, is it a beautiful place? Do you also have dangerous monsters? And whats a human Finn, are there more of these humans? You should also come to visit Mewni, it's a wonderful place! And you can also meet my other friends, and we can all go on an adventure."
A truly curious and energetic girl. That was how Finn would describe Star Butterfly. The image he had of her in his head only grew more firmer, the more she talked and expressed herself. Finn did not find her annoying though, she was like a new breath of fresh air to him. And even his original intention in being an adventurer was to both explore unfamiliar places and to meet new people, so he did not mind the girls' questions at all.
In fact, he had his own questions he would have liked to ask the girl and seeing how talkative she was, Finn was sure he would get a lot of answers.
The next couple of minutes went by with this game of question and answer between the two, Finn trying as best as he could to fulfill the girl's curiosity while also dropping in a question or two of his own.
It was weird though to explain to the girl what a human was and how he was currently the only one in the whole of Ooo. This led to Star trying to comfort him in her own strange way and promising to help me look for more humans which Finn could only nod to.
"You're a good Kid Star. "Finn patted her fluffy blonde hair as he said this, earning a surprising shy laugh from the girl.
They both promised to give each other a tour of the other's respective world when they had the time.
"Who were you running away from earlier Star. "Finn finally asked after they had moved away from their concealed position to navigate the blood moon festival. His question was casual. But it had managed to bring back a subtle vigilance in her once more as she started looking around with caution.
"I escaped from my guards. I can't have fun in the festival with them following me around, so I decided to ditch them." Star smugly said her head held high. Finn found it amusing enough that he chuckled once more.
"Let's have a lot of fun then before they find you. "Finn offered a bright smile, equally getting into the festive mood that the festival sparked within him.
Star's eyes sparkled brighter and then she nodded heavily. She laughed happily and pulled him along.
"Let's go to this one stall I saw earlier then. It looked interesting. "
Finn was pulled along, curious with how the day would go.
