It was here.





Today was supposed to be a joyful day. Today, she was supposed to inherit the most important heirloom in her family's history, the tool that dictated her place in Mewni's history. Today, she was to accept the future prospect of leading an entire kingdom.





But she didn't want it. Not like this.





This was supposed to be just a normal 14th birthday, for a normal princess. But now she was unsure whether or not the circumstances of all the pomp would taint the memory. She didn't want to remember it for what it was going to be, not if it means being remembered better than her dear sister.





"For the good of Mewni," Crescenta said, steeling her nerves and standing proud as the doors opened to reveal the throne room, filled with nobles and the like, with her parents and her dear sister at the end waiting for her.





She proceeded forward, all eyes on her, as she tried not think about it too much. Her eyes went around the room, taking in the people present. Then she laid her eyes on Dirhhennia, who smiled at her with the wand clenched in her hands, and she felt her heart break. Crescenta felt terrible for taking this from her, but she seemed to be taking it so well.





She thought back to the day she had overheard her mother arguing with the High Commission about Dirh's proficiency, or lack there of, with magic. She had been walking through the hallway, minding her own business, when she'd heard her mother shouting from the meeting room. She peeked inside, and watched as Polaria adamantly defended Dirhhennia to the Magic High Commission. She would do this for at least an hour (Crescenta, to her credit, was at that point smart enough to move on before she was caught), but Crescenta would later learn it was ultimately to no avail, and she would spend the night prior to the wand passing ceremony hugging her sister and apologizing, though Dirhhennia never once tried to stop her despite what Crescenta believed she must be going through.





Before she realized it, she was in front of her parents and sister. Adrian placed a hand on her shoulder and squeezed it gently, giving her an encouraging smile, and the royal family looked to the crowd.





"Citizens of Mewni, we are here today to witness a first in our history," Polaria began. "Since our beloved first queen, Queen Urania, we have held a strong tradition of the wand being passed from mother to daughter on her eldest's 14th birthday. Today, the circumstances are different. Through circumstances out of our control, we shall today witness the first, and I pray only, time that the wand shall pass between sisters."

Crescenta and Dirhhennia turned to face each other.





"It's a very important relic," Dirh began, looking sadly at the wand. "It holds many mysteries. Many generations before us have wielded it, and I pray more to come will as well. If it falls into the wrong hands, I fear what will happen to our kingdom." She looked back to her little sister. "Do you, Crescenta, agree to keep it safe, and use the powers thusly granted to you only for good and for the betterment of the Butterfly Kingdom?"





"I do," Crescenta replied, holding her head high.





"And do you agree to keep our beloved kingdom safe and maintain peace and order as best as possible?"





"I do."





Dirhhennia took a deep breath and held the wand to her. Crescent carefully took it, watching as her sister's cute bubble wand slowly faded into the blinding light. When it subsided, a beautiful rod with little wings emitting out of the light blue hilt adorned with a topaz crystal that mimicked her cheek marks was sitting in her hand. Crescenta held it close to her as Dirhhennia pulled her into a hug.





"You'll do great, dear sister," she whispered.

Y'all don't mind if I... fanfic... do y'all??? I know it's really clunky, but I have a lot of feelings about Crescenta and Dirhhennia. If you see any problems or have any feedback, I'd love to know!!



Also, I couldn't find anything, canon or not, about the wand passing ceremony, so I just kinda improvised. Hope that's OK.
