It all started with a simple movie night.
And that movie night was part of a tradition that started one night when Star was supposed to go on a date with Oskar.
Star waited up for hours, but Oskar never came. So, Marco did what he could to cheer her up: make nachos and see what was on TV. Of course, it worked.
So, every Saturday night, Star and Marco sat in the family room and watched whatever blockbuster movie was showing on the Fox Network.
On the night where it all began, Star and Marco were joined by Alfonzo and Ferguson, since their plans involving two girls had been spoiled. So, they joined Star and Marco to watch "The Friendly Predator: An E.T. Knockoff".
"So this is what Earth people think aliens are like," Star asked.
"Sometimes," Ferguson answered, "Other times, we make them the bad guys, hellbent on destroying our planet and civilizations."
"How exactly do you guys portray princesses from other dimensions," Star asked.
"Surprisingly," Marco answered, "That character type doesn't appear too much."
"But it could," Alfonzo thought out loud, "Ferguson, we are going to be rich."
"Maybe we should just watch the movie," Marco suggested.
"I once saw that there was a movie about a princess from another dimension online," Star added on, "But they asked for credit card information, and I couldn't find your Mom's purse."
"Please let us just watch the movie," Marco begged.
As they watched the movie, they all thought that the Fox Network can't show good movies. They were convinced of this when the alien decided to eat the little boy who was hiding him the whole movie. Ferguson and Alfonzo both thought this wasn't as good as the tearful goodbye from the original E.T.
Then, it seems as if the alien is rescued by his girlfriend, but not before they share a disgusting kiss scene.
"Even that freaky alien has someone to love," Star lamented, "What's wrong with me?"
"Hey," Marco comforted, hugging Star, "Nothing is wrong with you."
"Then why doesn't Oskar like me," Star asked.
"Because Oskar is an idiot," Marco answered.
"Don't you talk about Oskar that way," Star growled.
Alfonzo and Ferguson shared an awkward look.
"He's got to be," Marco asserted, "Anybody who can't see how fun, sweet, pretty, and awesome you are has got to be just a big idiot."
"Well," Star asked, "Do you think I'll find a big non idiot someday?"
"I know you will," Marco reassured.
"Aww, Marco," Star cooed, giving Marco a hug, "Thank you."
"No problem Star," Marco whispered, returning Star's hug. After about two more seconds, the two teens released their grips on each other.
"You know," Star offered, "Now that I'm feeling better, how about I run to the kitchen and get all of us some fresh sodas?"
"Thank you Star," the guys all thanked as Star went into the kitchen.
"Oh my gosh," Alfonzo yelled.
"What," Marco questioned.
"Don't play dumb with us," Ferguson interrogated, "'Nothing is wrong with you.' You like Star."
"Of course I do," Marco responded, "She's my friend and kinda my family."
"Oh no," Alfonzo corrected, "We mean you love her. Like, you wanna kiss her."
"What," Marco blurted out, "No way."
"Yes way," Ferguson responded, "You wanna rub her lips with yours."
"Knock it off you guys," Marco chuckled, "I mean, it's not like I lay awake at night thinking about her or something."
Alfonzo and Ferguson shrugged their shoulders and went back to watching the movie, before remembering that Star had paused it when she got up to get the sodas.
That night, when Marco tried getting to sleep, he found that he couldn't. Because one particular girl had entered his mind.
"Oh no," Marco murmured to himself.
He was in love with Star Butterfly.
