## Overview

On her 14th birthday, Princess Aurora inherits the magic wand of her parents, Queen Tai and King Marco. During the feast, she receives gifts from the young lords and ladies of the other noble families of Mewni, such as a rose flower hair clip from Rose Flowers, a ship in a bottle from Pacifica Waterson and a jewel encrusted box from Gold Stone. Star and Marco are delighted in the upbringing of the noble children, but Aurora tells them nothing about their "true face".

After she receives a bag of sunflower seeds from Pine Forest, she leaves with her friend Princess Lavinia Ponyhead to take Toggy for a stroll in the woods. Ponyhead gives her a necklace with a fragment of Crystal Tramorfidian as a gift, and shortly thereafter, they are surrounded by the noble children, who begin to throw stones and offend Aurora, who does not retaliate. After Ponyhead pushes them aside and says that Aurora must learn to defend herself, they see a boy coming out of the bushes pursued by Toggy. He introduces himself as Sam, but has no memory of his life or why he is there. Aurora offers to help him, countering Ponyhead's refusal. They begin a discussion, until suddenly an arrow flies from the bushes towards Aurora, but Sam quickly pushes her out of the way ends up saving her life.

Back at the castle, Aurora tells about the attack, but keeps a secret about the bullying nobles. Star and Marco personally thank Sam and ask Aurora not to leave the castle. In doubt of what they should do, they have a talk alone with Glossaryck.

Aurora introduces the castle to Sam, with Ponyhead still eyeing him of suspicion. Sam is confused for a squire and enters a fencing activity when they arrive in the court where the knights train. At that moment, Sam reveals his incredible combat skills, both with melee and a sword, after disarming a knight. Everyone is stunned, including Star and Marco from the top of one of the castle towers. When Aurora asks him how he knows how to fight, Sam says he doesn't have the slightest idea.

In a private room, Glossaryck suggests to Star and Marco that Aurora be sent to Earth so she can stay safe and practice her magic. He also suggests that Sam accompany her as the princess's personal bodyguard. Trusting Glossaryck's guidance for a long time, they accept without question.

In the middle of the night, Star wakes up Aurora and tells her to gather her things and go down to the garden. When her parents say she will have to go to Earth, Aurora angrily refuses. They say that Mewni is no longer safe for her and cannot risk losing her to another assassination attempt. Marco opens a dimensional portal with his scissors and gives it as a gift to Aurora saying to use it wisely, unlike he did during his youth.

She walks through the portal with Sam and ends up in front of the door of her grandparents' house on earth. Aurora's sadness disappears when the door opens and her grandparents, Angie and Rafael Diaz, receive her with a hug and surprise birthday cake. The episode ends with a shot of the Diaz house at dawn.

## Notes & trivia

* The unseen person to try and murder Aurora was not brought up again until S01 S04 The Phantom Mewnace where Star and Marco investigate the attack on Aurora.
* It was revealed through an origin story and author confirmation who the villain for Aurora is, and that person is most likely responsible for the attack.
* Some of the gifts she received:

- a jewel encrusted box from Gold Stone
- a ship in a bottle from Pacifica Waterson
- a rose flower hair clip from Rose Flowers
- a bag of sunflower seeds from Pine Forest-a red violin from dove redbird

* A fan in the comments asked if: Sam had any parents? And the author replied: Everyone has it, right?
* When asked if Aurora knows anything about Earth, jgss responded: She knows very basic things like what is psychology, using the pedals of a bicycle, that luck cookies are not real... Basic things she learned from her father.

* The House of the Rising Sun is a reference to the sunrise, right after dawn. Aurora is the Princess of Dawn, so the series is often referenced of dawn.
