Oh, no.
Hey, there, big guy.
Hey, Mama!
So, you're ready for the new school year?
Yep. Still getting used to Earth life, though.
Hmm. I see you're still wearing your cape.
Of course. I'm a knight!
Did I ever tell you about my friend
who spent a summer in France?
In France, everything was better--
the arthouse films, the fashion, the croissants.
She said it just like that-- "croissant."
Who does that?
Wow, your friend sounds annoying.
It was me, Marco. "Croissant."
Oh! But... come on!
I'm not annoying. I just wear a cape.
Look, I'm sure everybody on Moony wore a cape.
Mewni. It's pronounced "Mew-ni."
Marco, I'm just trying to help.
And I'm just trying to help you properly say "Mewni."
Croissant! Croissant! It's pronounced "croissant!"
Hey, no! No, no, no!
I'm not the croissant girl!
I earned this cape,
and by golly, I'm gonna wear it!
Good for you, Marco. The cape looks cool.
Thanks, Dad.
You are chained to the wall of Azgorth's dungeon
surrounded by his feral imps,
and only one holds the key to your freedom.
-Nothing.
I try and break the chains.
The imps eat your hands.
Aah!
I cast a healing spell!
-The imps eat your hands. -Marco!
Oh, um... use the butter.
What? There's no butter!
Didn't you hear what she just said?
There's nothing in our surroundings!
Put it on the chains,
slide your hands out, hide in the vents!
This isn't Mewni, Marco! It's not going to work.
It worked. You're free.
Oh! Oh! Next we go find Ludo,
say the Whispering Spell, destroy Toffee!
No! This isn't Mewni!
Yeah, you destroy Toffee, save Mewni.
Congratulations!
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
It's okay, Ferguson! It's just a game!
No. On Mewni, this actually happened!
They made me a knight!
Where-- Where did Ferguson and Alfonso go?
They left.
What
Oh, they just get annoyed
when you talk about Mewni all the time.
It's no big deal.
What?
All right, sensei,
just be straight with me, man.
Am I annoying when I talk about Mewni?
Of course not, Marco.
You had a life-changing experience on Mewni,
and it changed you.
Yeah, that's right.
And it changed me too.
Look at it!
Look at it, yeah!
Ohh, ohh, it's a-- it's a cape.
We're cape bros now, dude.
Oh, that's-- that's great.
Marco, you're making a face.
What face It's just my face.
Hey, hey, hey. No secrets.
We're cape bros now.
Oh, well, it's no big deal,
but I-I earned my cape.
Earned? Is that... a word you made up?
I just went through a lot to get my cape.
I mean, I helped save Mewni, you know?
Oh, yeah.
I keep forgetting, you have to earn things.
You're right, Marco.
I guess I didn't earn this.
No, sensei.
I mean, did I really earn my red belt?
Or my green belt?
I guess I didn't earn any belts.
You know,
I expected this from my mother
and my probation officer,
but I didn't expect this from you.
You know, first Ferguson
and Alfonso were weird, and then sensei was weird.
I-I hate to say this,
but it's like my best friends
are jealous of all that I've accomplished.
Look, I get it.
Earth and Mewni are totally different.
It must be hard to readjust.
No, Jackie, you don't get it.
This isn't about me, this is about them
not being able to accept what this means.
How long has it been since you took off your cape?
Pshh. That's not relevant.
But it kind of feels like you went to Mewni
and you never really came back.
I'm not trying to make you feel bad,
but you haven't even asked about my summer.
You've just been talking about yours.
Oh, no. I'm the Croissant Girl.
-Oh, Jackie, I'm so sorry.
Wha-what are you talking about?
-Jackie, I'm going to make this up to you.
You're never going to hear me say "croissant" again.
-You look so... fancy.
Okay, okay.
Jackie Lynn Thomas,
I'm here to take you on the ultimate date.
Wait, seriously?
I'm done with Mewni, see? No cape.
I'm back, and I'm here for you.
Me, huh?
Well, can you guess what I want to do right now?
Oh, Jackie, you know I'm not good at this game.
Read my mind, Marco.
Uh...
Okay.
You want to go to Seashell...ville...?
Shell Town
Necklace Land. Necklace Land? Necklace Land!
Shells?
Seashell?
Seashell Land?
Shelly. Mike and Shelly.
You want to go to Mike and Shelly's house.
No, dude, we're here.
Ohh, the pier!
Okay, see, I-I never would have gotten that from a seashell.
So, what exactly are you supposed to do
on the ultimate date?
Ohh! How about...
I win you this cute dog thing.
Ha! Yeah, these guys kind of look like you.
One dozen balls, please.
What?
This thing is rigged.
Let me try.
-Sweet!
Grand prize for the lady.
This is the best day of my life.
Marco.
Can you believe this is almost our three month
Yeah, we're like an old married couple.
But we were doing long distance for, like, half the time.
Don't think I wasn't jealous of that cute lady mime.
Hey! Oh, n-- Aww.
Here, have some of mine.
Aw, thanks.
That's amazing of you,
but I could actually go for some real people food.
How much cash do you have on you?
I don't know-- $650?
Whew, okay.
Is there anything on the menu we haven't ordered yet?
There's that guy.
No, I can't eat him-- he looks so sad.
Hey! What do you a-think
you are doing
Run!
Hey! Give it back here-ah!
Ohh!
Wow, he didn't even say goodbye.
Not even a little claw wave or something.
Dude, it's a lobster.
Oh.
-Lobsters.
We saved one, but we could have saved them all.
Do you want to go back for them?
I kind of do, though.
Freedom to lobsters!
Death to fancy restaurants!
Oh ho ho! Yeah! Whoo!
I finally feel like I'm back on Earth.
Is that a good thing?
It's a great thing.
There's no place I'd rather be.
Take off your shirt.
Just do it.
But now
It's just a--
Huh.
What?
How did that get in there?
Let's talk.
Okay, I know this looks bad, but I'm fine.
I can take it off anytime I want.
Look, today was awesome,
and it's really sweet that you're trying,
but if you're forcing yourself to stay in Echo Creek
just so I'll be happy,
then we'll both end up miserable.
You do see that, right?
So, I figure now's a good time to give you an out.
I want to make this work.
You're my best friend, Jackie.
Mmm.
Oh, Marco.
We both know that's not true.
Stay amazing, okay?
Well, I now release you from the bonds of academia.
Be free. Uh... uh... something like that.
We've never sent a kid to another dimension before.
Sure you have. It's just like what started
when she did her exchange program--
just, you know, in the opposite direction.
Well, I hope I'm not sending you off to your death.
Marco, hold on! You can't leave yet!
We want to say sorry for how we acted the other day.
No, guys, I'm the one who needs to say sorry.
I-I really haven't been around much, and...
Dude, it's okay.
Look, we-we brought you something.
It's our lucky die.
It'll grant you good fortune on your travels.
Aw. Thanks, you guys.
For the record, I'm still mad at you.
I know. But I got you something.
I'm gonna miss you so much!
I'm gonna miss you too, man.
I also got something for you.
Wha!?! How long have you had this?
Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to.
What a creep.
Well, I guess this is goodbye, guys.
I don't understand. We're just letting Marco leave school?
Is this even legal?
Shh. Marco needs to have his own French summer.
What
-Bye-bye, Marc! -Bye, Marco!
-Bye! -Bye-bye!
