"Marco! Wake! Up!" the eighteen-year-old girl yelled while jumping on the sleeping boy. His face turned in discomfort but his eyes stayed shut.
"Fine. I didn't want to have to do this." Star whispered, hopping off the bed. She turned on her heel and headed for the bathroom. She returned a few minutes later with a cup of water and a smug grin on her face. She held the cup over the boy's head, ready to pour.
In an instant, the boy raised his hand and snatched it out of Star's hand with a smile, eyes still closed. "Not today, princess." Star pouted for a moment before resuming her jumping and shouting. Star was still the same energetic girl that Marco had met just four years ago.
"MARCO! WE! NEED! TO GO! NOW!" she said in between jumps. A thoughtful look covered Marco's face for a moment before he sat up faster than humanly possible and checked the clock.
7:39 a.m. Their flight left at 8:30. Marco rolled out of bed and dashed to the bathroom to get ready. He came back out a few minutes later to get his clothes. "Oh good, you're ready." He said. "I need to change, do you mind?"
"Oh yeah, of course!" Star smiled and walked to her room. A few minutes later, Marco popped in and offered to carry her suitcase downstairs. "No, really it's not that heavy. I can carry it." Star said picking the suitcase up. They carefully loaded their suitcases in the back of Marco's car.
"Have fun you two!" Mrs. Diaz waved from the porch. Star and Marco hugged her and Mr. Diaz. "Be sure to call us periodically!" She added as they climbed into the car. Star gave a cheerful thumb up.
Marco backed the car out of the driveway and they were off, ready for spring break. "So… are you going to tell me where we're going yet?" Star eagerly asked. She had been asking this question ever since Marco had told her he had a surprise spring break trip planned for their senior year. "No Star, you have to be patient." Marco answered. Star sighed but never lost her excitement. The entire car ride, Star was bouncing in her seat.
Thirty minutes later, they arrived at LAX. Marco was starting to panic since they only had fifteen minutes to check in their baggage and make it to the gate. Marco parked the car and the two got out. They unpacked their luggage and Marco turned to Star.
"Star, before we go, I'm going to need you to stay close by. I know airports are cool and there's so much to look at, but if we don't hurry we're going to miss our flight." Star nodded and took Marco's free hand.
"Will this help you calm down? I'll be right here." She asked and squeezed Marco's hand.
"Y-yeah." Marco could feel a light blush on his nose. He kinda, maybe, had a crush on Star. After Marco broke up with Jackie, he and Star went out, but decided it was best if they stayed friends. However, that didn't stop Marco from still having feelings for her.
Marco quickly snapped out of it. "We need to go!" They ran as fast as they could all the way to the baggage check-in.
"Good morning! What lovely weather we're having!" The receptionist greeted them.
"I don't want to be rude, but we're kind of in a time crunch." Marco answered, annoyed with the receptionist's leisurely tone. He fished in his backpack for their tickets and handed them to her.
"Right, I get it." She said and scanned the tickets. "Star. What a lovely name." The receptionist smiled and handed the tickets back.
"Thank you." Star said with a smile.
"All right, you two are good to go. Have a nice trip!" Marco nodded to the receptionist in response and took Star's hand. He led her to the gate and they arrived just in time.
Author's note: Hey so I just realized that I completely forgot about the TSA, so just pretend that it doesn't exist. (don't we all wish it didn't irl) :)
"Last call for flight 207 destination Orlando International Airport!" The loudspeakers announced. Marco and Star raced to the desk and the worker scanned their tickets.
"All set, have a good flight!" He said with a smile. Marco smiled back. For the first time this morning he felt relieved. Meanwhile, Star's excitement continued to grow.
"We're going to Orlando? Isn't that in Florida?" She asked as they walked down the tunnel leading to the airplane. "I've never been on an airplane before! Well, I've been in a flying chariot but never in an airplane. I'm so excited!" They reached the airplane and Marco stopped to let Star go in first.
"Okay, so our seats are in D17 and D18." Star nodded and they made their way down the aisle. Eventually, Star stopped at a row of seats where a middle-aged man was sitting and reading a book. "Excuse us." Marco said and the man got up to let them by. Star got the window seat and Marco sat in the middle.
"So where are you two from?" The man asked.
"We're from Echo Creek." Star cheerfully answered.
"Oh really?" the man said. "I went to high school at Echo Creek Academy."
"What a coincidence, we go there too!" Marco answered.
"Go opossums, am I right?" The man said and Marco nodded. The man looked back at his book.
Marco turned his attention back to Star. She was watching a plane take off nearby. Suddenly, the plane started to back away from the airport.
"Marco, what's happening?" Star asked, a hint of concern in her voice.
"Well, the plane is driving, commonly known as taxing, to the runway where it will take off." Star relaxed and turned back to the window. The safety video began to play. "Star, pay attention, this is important." Marco whispered.
By the time the safety video was over the plane was on the runway and waiting for the signal. A few seconds later, the pilot's voice came on the speaker and the seatbelt lights turned on while the plane's interior lights dimmed.
"We are all clear for take-off." As soon as he finished his sentence, the plane's engines started up and the plane began to accelerate.
"Marco, I'm scared." Star whispered. Marco held out his hand and looked into Star's eyes and said, "Don't worry Star, I'm right here." Star took his hand and smiled.
Feeling a blush forming on her cheeks, Star turned to look out the window. "OMYGOSH MARCO WE ARE IN THE AIR!" She said, astonished. Marco chuckled and squeezed Star's hand. "I can see all of Los Angeles." Star said, her voice full of amazement.
Star stared out the window until her view was blocked by clouds. "So, what now?" She asked, shifting in her seat.
"We could watch a movie. It will be just like friendship Thursday, but in the air!" Marco suggested and Star's face lit up. Star and Marco debated on what movie to watch for a few minutes before finally settling on a cheesy rom com. Marco purchased the movie, then took two sets of earbuds and a blanket out of his backpack.
"Marco you're so prepared." Star said, scooting closer to Marco so they could share the blanket. The movie started and they watched for a while before Star fell asleep on Marco's shoulder. Marco smiled and continued to watch the movie.
Once Marco was sure Star was asleep, he carefully kissed the top of her head. Little did he know, that Star was still awake and was blushing like crazy.
Finally, after a few hours, the plane started to land. Star woke up and watched the plane begin its descent. "Wow, Florida is so…flat. And there are a lot of lakes." Star remarked.
"Fun fact, there is a town in Florida called Lakeland." Marco said.
"Omg why are you so full of useless information Marco." Star said with a silly tone. "So what adventures are in store for us in Orlando?"
"Well, I wasn't going to tell you until we got to the hotel, but we're going to Disney World." Marco answered with a huge grin on his face. He had been saving up since junior year and worked like crazy at his part time job. Star practically jumped out of her seat.
"You're kidding!" She said knowing full and well he wasn't. She had really enjoyed watching Disney movies and was fascinated by the theme parks, especially Epcot.
Marco got the idea after Star mentioned wanting to visit Epcot before leaving to go back to Mewni and Marco immediately knew he was going to make that happen no matter what.
The plane landed and thirty minutes later, they were in a shuttle, heading to the hotel. Marco had not let go of Star's hand since the flight. Until now. He put his arm around her shoulders as they watched the city pass by. A few minutes later they reached the hotel. Marco paid the driver and carried their luggage.
"Good evening. Welcome to Orlando. What's the last name?" The lady working behind the counter asked as they arrived.
"Diaz." Marco answered. The lady scrolled through her computer for a minute before handing them a room key. "You're in room 4-18 on the fourth floor. Elevators are to your right." She said and Marco thanked her. He and Star were exhausted from travelling and were anxious to get to their room.
They arrived at their room and Marco put the key in the slot. He opened the door to find a small, but nice room…with only one bed.
"This isn't right." He said.
"What's wrong?" Star asked then took a look at the room. "Oh."
"I specifically wanted a room with two beds." He said, annoyed. He debated going back down and asking for another room, but at this point he was beyond tired. He turned to Star. "Will you be okay if we..shared a bed?"
Star slowly nodded. "Y-yeah. That's fine. It's only for a few days." She answered.
They unpacked their suitcases and changed into pajamas silently. Star was the first to climb in bed. Marco followed a few minutes later, but made sure to stay on the opposite side of the bed.
"Goodnight Star." He said, turning off the lamp.
"Goodnight Marco, I can't wait for tomorrow." Star answered and within a few minutes, they were both fast asleep.
As always, please review! ~PSS
