Chapter Five
"No, Star. Try again. Your pinky must stay up when you are drinking tea." Annabel reprimanded Star.
"Come on, Annabel! Does it have to be up the entire time?!" Star moaned and slumped in her chair.
"Yes, and sit up. You were doing so well with your posture, don't ruin it now." Annabel scolded.
"Ugh, when are we going to take a break? I really want to meet your friends and go on that adventure we've been planning!" Star complained.
Annabel smiled. "I'm glad you mentioned that, actually. They are coming in fifteen. Oh man, this is gonna be wicked!" Annabel cheered. She soon realised how improper that sounded, so she corrected herself, in fear of losing her job. "I mean, our get together is going to be spectacular."
Star laughed.
"Now, back to business, keep your pinky at ninety degrees and sit up straight." Annabel began again.
"Fine." Star sat up. She picked up her tea cup with her pinky out.
"Now let's pretend you are at a royal gala. Let's see how you walk in. Start at the door, when I announce you as the queen of Mewni, you come in. Okay?" Annabel pointed towards the door.
"Okay." Star waltzed towards the door.
"Now presenting Queen Star Butterfly of Mewni."
Star came walking backwards with her back bent and hands handing. She twirled while in this position until she finally reached the coffee table. She leaned up and bowed.
Annabel's mouth hung open.
"Pretty great, right?" Star smiled.
"Well, it was a great way to enter a very strange dance club, but not great for entering a gala. If your mother sees you doing that I'll surely be fired and you will be stuck with new lady in waiting, one that won't help you on adventures and will be very clinging. By clingy I mean Princess Barbra clingy."
"Ewww, Barbra! She's the worst!" Star shivered from the thought of Barbra.
"Than if you don't want a Barbra as your lady in waiting, then you should at least try to be a proper Queen. I'm not asking you to wash away your individuality, I'm just asking you to try. Do we have a deal?"
"Fine!" Star crossed her arms. "But, you'll never become a knight if you are my lady in waiting."
"This isn't about me. This is about you. Now, go over to the door and try again." Annabel pointed towards the door. "Now presenting Queen Star of Mewni!"
This time Star walked in with a straight posture and her hands placed in front of her. Her head was up high and her face had a serious expression on it. Star made her way to the arm chair and sat up straight at the edge of the chair. She placed her hands on her lap.
Annabel clapped. "Bravo! Now, show me how you would pick up your tea and drink it."
Star picked up the cup with her pinky at a ninety degrees angle. She took a sip of the tea while still wearing her serious expression.
"Beautiful!" Annabel clapped. She looked at the clock on the wall. "Well, it's break time, let's go meet up with Astro and Alex. They should be waiting at the gates."
They both got up and walked to the door.
"Now, remember, walk with posture and don't say anything about and adventure outside these doors." Annabel reminded Star.
They walked out with perfect postures.
"I'm really excited to meet your friends." Star said enthusiastically.
"I'm excited for you to meet them, too."
