(No ones POV)

Since that incident with that strange ghost, (y/n) decided to focus on his research and his experiments in the hope of being able to get rid of those horrible visions on his head. But despite his efforts, the visions and nightmares didn't disappear. But as if that wasn't enough, the epidemic that was only a rumor turned out to be true and had reached the kingdom. Many of the citizens of Mewni began to show many symptoms of this disease as fevers and dangerous respiratory problems. Queen Celena, fearing for the safety of her subjects, ordered Adam and (y/n) to use their knowledge to find a cure to fight this disease. Both father and son were using every possible resource in the hope of finding a cure. But unfortunately, the solution to this problem seemed to be still too far of their reach. 

As usual, (y/n) was in his laboratory while he was "working" on something important.

(y/n): Careful... Careful... CAREFUL...

???: Hey dude!

*Puffft*

Due to the sudden appearance of Hekapoo, (y/n) squeezed too hard the package of mayonnaise, causing the entire seasoning to spill all over the table and the sandwich.

(y/n): NOOO!!! MY TORTA!!!

(I'll tag in the next chapter the first person who finds out where that reference is from)

Hekapoo: Sorry.

(y/n): You know, you should use the door instead of your portals. *Sigh* Well... There goes launch...

Hekapoo: Launch? (y/n), It's seven twenty-five in the afternoon, you should be having dinner.

(y/n): Is that late? Ugh... I need to get back to work.

(y/n) went to the library and took a book, only for the young scientist to start banging his head against the frame of the library. Hekapoo could see that (y/n) had not rested properly and that the entire room was full of garbage. This only caused Hekapoo to start getting worrying for (y/n)'s physical and mental health.

Hekapoo: How... How long have you been working?

(y/n): Hmmm... Today is Tuesday, right? I have been working for a week or maybe more. In fact, that sandwich was my first moment of rest from work.

Hekapoo: Okay! I'm taking you out of here!

(y/n): I can't leave, I need to continue working to find a cure.

Hekapoo: (y/n), look at yourself! Right now you are a complete mess!

What Hekapoo said was true. (y/n)'s hair was a mess a little greasy and his eyes had bags under the bags. 

(y/n): But I need to-

Hekapoo: What you need is to take a shower and get out of here at least for one day... or night.

(y/n): Well...

(y/n) stopped for a few seconds to analyze his surroundings. It was true that at this time his house could be considered more a dump than a laboratory, at least before his home seemed the place where a lunatic will sleep under roof instead of a vagabon.

(y/n): You are probably right.

Hekapoo: Probably?

(y/n): Fine! You are COMPLETELY right.

Hekapoo: I'm always right!

(y/n): You weren't right in that cave.

...

...

...

Hekapoo: Just go and take a bath.

(time skip)

(y/n): When you told me that we were getting something to eat...

Hekapoo took (y/n) to a tavern where most of the clientele were monsters, while at the same time some were mercenaries, who at the same time were simply monsters looking for another kind of fun. There were some species of dragons with wheels between their legs at the entrance door of the tavern. That was a somewhat strange concept for transportation measures. This made (y/n) feel a bit uncomfortable. Not because of being surrounded by monsters, but because the social skills of a scientist can be a little... different.

(y/n): You never told me that the place we were going was a tavern...

Hekapoo: Oh, come on! You are gonna love it!

Despite (y/n)'s protests, Hekapoo dragged the young scientist into the tavern. There were a lot of monsters inside the tavern but none of them seemed to pay much attention to Hekapoo or (y/n). Apparently most of the monsters were too busy playing darts or drinking beer that none of them bothered to direct their attention to another thing. Hekapoo and Jack sat down in front of the bar and after a few seconds the Bartender approached them to attend them. The Bartender was some kind of giant fly and he was cleaning a beer mug.

Hekapoo: Hi Jimmy! How are you doing?

Jimmy: I'm doing fine! Just working, like always. 

Jimmy focused his multiple eyes on (y/n), causing an uncomfortable sensation for the young scientist.

Jimmy: Who's your friend here? Another bounty hunter? Or perhaps he is your boyfriend?

(y/n)(mind): BOYFRIEND?!

That question made (y/n) start to blush and think about many things that fortunately only he could see. Hekapoo also blushed at Jimmy's comment but she managed to recover faster from that.

Hekapoo: Hi is not my boyfriend, Jimmy. His name is (y/n) and you are not going to believe it but he is a scientist!

Jimmy: A scientist?

(y/n): I'm a man of science... Although I still have problems with explosions.

Jimmy: You sound like a pretty funny guy. How about this? Since this is his first time in my tavern, the first thing you two order is free for the young couple.

(y/n)/Hekapoo: *Blushing* We are not a cuple!

Jimmy: Alright! Alright! I get it! Anyway, what do you guys want?

Hekapoo: I want the special flame of the house. What about you, (y/n)?

(y/n): Hmmm... I want some of the honeywater the dwarfs made.

Jimmy: A happy flame and honeywater, got it. And for eat?

Hekapoo: How about two salamance burgers?

(y/n): They make those here?! The last time I tried one of those hamburgers was when I was a kid! 

Jimmy: You will love them my friend, we make the best ones in this side of the mountains.

(This is like Grillby's in undertale xD)

Jimmy went to prepare the drinks for (y/n) and Hekapoo. Meanwhile, Hekapoo and (y/n) started having a small conversation while the two of them waited for Jimmy. One of the topics of conversation was the previous attack of that spectrum in the cave. In order to not worry Hekapoo, (y/n) decided to hide the problems he had with his nightmares and the bad memories in his mind from that attack. Despite not having much free time because of his new work, (y/n) was enjoying every second of Hekapoo's company. But after a few minutes, Jimmy came back with the drinks and the food that Hekapoo and (y/n) ordered. 

Jimmy: Have fun you two and enjoy the food.

Jimmy left again, leaving Hekapoo and (y/n) alone once again. They both lifted the jars with their drinks. Hekapoo's jar was filled with a salmon-colored liquid that had a flame above the drink. While (y/n)'s jar had an orange liquid that was overflowing with foam. Both Hekapoo and (y/n) took a small sip from their drinks and once they put down the jars they went back to talk with the other and have fun.

(Little time skip)

(y/n): Ugh...

The whole room was dark and the only thing that at this moment our dear scientist could feel was a terrible headache. While dwarf honeywater is extremely sweet, it is also a very strong drink.

(y/n): This is the last time I drink something from the dwarfs. 

(y/n) put a hand on his head in an attempt to alleviate the horrible pain. 

(y/n): Maybe I have a potion for this.

(y/n) tried to get out of the bed he was in but couldn't because he felt some weight on his arm.

(y/n): What the-

(y/n) lit a lamp that was next to his bed and found a strange bulge under his sheets on his right side. Slowly, (y/n) lifted the sheets to see what was under them. But what he found made (y/n)'s jaw almost touch the floor for the surprise. Hekapoo was hugging (y/n)'s right arm and she was wearing nothing under the sheets. But another surprise was that (y/n) realized that he was just wearing boxers. 

(y/n)(mind): Oh god! What did I do?!

Hekapoo frowned her eyes a little for the light and hugged (y/n)'s arm more tightly.

Hekapoo: Turn off the light...

(y/n): Em... Hekapoo?

Hekapoo: Five more minutes (y/n)... (Y/N)?!

Hekapoo got up quickly and seeing that her clothes weren't with her, she used the sheets to cover herself. Both Hekapoo and (y/n) were blushing like tomatoes and they were quiet in an uncomfortable silence. It took all the willpower in the world for (y/n) to keep his eyes in another direction. On the other hand, Hekapoo was trying to remember what happened and why she was at (y/n)'s house wearing her Eva costume (or birthday costume).

(y/n): Well... At least this couldn't get worse.

A few seconds after saying that, someone started hitting the entrance of the house a couple of times. (y/n) quickly went to put a robe on him and after that he went to the door. The current situation was already bad in itself and the last thing (y/n) wanted was to be bothered in this uncomfortable situation. Upon opening the door, (y/n) saw that the person who was hitting the entrance was one of Mewni's guards.

(y/n): This better be a matter of life or death.

Guard: Well... Is about your father sir.

(y/n): What about him?

Guard: He...

The guard took a deep breath as if he was about to give bad news.

Guard: Adam caught the epidemic.

(y/n)'s eyes went wide open after hearing those words and he just stayed there frozen in place.

(y/n): Oh... So it was about life or death...

AAANNNDDD DONE!!!

I'm tired and angry because life hates me T.T
