Hello people of this fandom! I am now here with another story for Star vs the Forces of Evil! *Dramatic echo follows* So, where to start… My heart seriously broke from that finale I don't know what to tell you. (Even though it's probably been a few months since I first watched it.) And in my heart-broken-ness, I managed to write a story for the after events! I somewhat got the idea from YouTube user's 'The Roundtable' video talking about he thinks season 3 would start. And yes, if you didn't hear the news yet, SVTFOE season 3 comes out the summer of 2017 and the show is already renewed for season 4.

And I'm so excited! OMG!

Anyways, I'm planning on making this a somewhat long story (I try. I'm best with one-shots.) and there is a possibility that there will be some Starco. I don't know. Maybe just some friendship fluff near the end. *Shrugs* So enjoy the story and I'll be surprised if you actually read this author's note instead of spending your valuable, but chosen, time reading this story or doing something else.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Star vs the Forces of Evil.

Prologue

Marco just stood there, frozen at the new information. It wasn't everyday that you find out that your best friend had a crush on you. And Star was just standing there, looking like she was on the verge of tears. He wanted to comfort her, tell her that everything was okay, but how?

And what did she mean that she was leaving Earth? Forever?

He opened his mouth to project his thoughts but all he got was, "Uh... I, uh..." He couldn't even from a simple sentence. It didn't help that everyone was staring their way, though.

Before he knew it, Star's tears that she had been trying desperately to prevent immediately started to slide down her cheeks, flowing like waterfalls. The blonde took off towards the stairs not a second later, yelling some sort of tearful goodbye.

This pulled Marco out of his paralysed shock and ran after her without thinking. "Star!" He saw her turn the corner leading to her room, and he followed right on her heals. "Hey!"

When Star entered through her door, it slammed right behind her. A colorful flash of light followed, shining through the cracks of the door.

Marco finally reached Star's door and opened it, a sentence already forming in his mouth. "What do you mean-"

Marco froze for the second time that day, this time with a hint of fear.

His mind was going a mile a minute, perhaps even more. A million thoughts filled his head. What happened? Why did she leave? Was this planned, or last minute? Is she in danger? By who? Or by what? Possibilities of why she had to leave Earth ran through his mind. Some of which, he didn't necessarily like all too well.

With a weak voice, filled with confusion and denial, he managed to pipe out;

"Star?"

All he heard was silence.

No no no nononononono. This couldn't be happening. She was supposed to stay on Earth. She was supposed to stay with all of her friends. With Marco. But now that wasn't going to happen, just because of Toffee.

Geez, Star was filled with hatred even thinking that monster's name. Oh how it made her blood boil. How it made every bone in her body shake. That thing caused her so much pain and trouble in the little time she knew him.

He kidnapped Marco, and forced her to destroy her wand. She managed to retrieve it, but it was ''cleaved'. As Glossaryck would say it, anyways. Then it was later found out that Ludo, that bird guy Star had thought she got rid of forever, had the other piece and used it as his own wand. Then it turned out Toffee was in that wand, took over Ludo, and so on…

There was more to that, of course, but Star hadn't listened very well when her mother was explaining the situation. In fact, she was still talking.

After Star ran off up the stairs, into her room, and closed her door with a loud "Slam!", she had immediately walked (ran) through the portal without saying a word. Though, when all of that was happening, she could've swore that she heard Marco calling for her but she just shrugged it off as her ears playing tricks on her.

"Star!"

Said person shot her head up from looking out of the window with a start, being interrupted from her thoughts. Star turned her head a bit to see her mother, Queen Moon, staring at her with an unidentifiable expression plastered on her face. Concern, maybe? But it looked like it held a different emotion as well.

In a barely audible tone, she replied, "Huh?"

Moon sighed, exasperated. "Star, did you hear what I said? Anything at all?"

Star shook her head with a (slightly) guilty frown. She had been so caught up in her thoughts she didn't hear half of what her mother had said.

Another sigh. "Just as I thought. Well as I was sayi- Star? Are you okay?"

This caught Star off guard. Of course she isn't, but she had been doing a pretty good job at masking her feelings once she reached her room.

"Wha-Yeah! What made you think I'm not?" Star said in an accusing tone, crossing her arms.

Her mother just blinked once and raised an eyebrow, in confusion or concern, she didn't know for sure. She raised a finger and pointed it slightly at her face and said, "You're crying right now."

Or maybe not. Star reached up to touch her dry cheeks to prove Moon wrong, but was surprised to find her cheeks wet. She pulled her hand back not a second later to look at it. Sure enough, the clear substance they call tears her all over her fingers.

Star looked up at her mother and felt a feeling of panic start to form. She hastily searched her vocabulary for a valid excuse, but to her disappointment, she found none. The best she could do was to insist that she's fine until her mom believes her or say whatever excuse pops up in her head.

Quickly wiping her eyes, Star replied, "Uh-My eyes are just getting used to Mewni again, that's all," she chuckles nervously, "But seriously, I'm fine, Mom." She forces a smile to prove herself.

Moon doesn't look convinced, not at all, but decides not to press on the subject. She just nods and begins talking again, as if nothing happened.

Star lets out a quiet sigh and looks out of the window of the cartridge they're in. She wished that she was back on Earth with Marco and everyone else. She at least wanted to leave Earth on a positive note. Like: Confessing her feelings, either Marco feels the same way and they date, or he doesn't feel the same way but reacts well. Saying that they would be friends no matter what. But none of that happened because of how limited her time was.

Star sighed once again, all the while gazing out the window with sad eyes.
