Star and the Royal Knight AU
Star Butterfly was opening her sapphire blue eyes as she knew that another dreadful day was coming to inflict even more metal pain on her, "Let's go through the checklist for today" She said half-awake before taking out a black notebook and turning to a page in the middle which contained a list that read,
· Eat breakfast
· Be insulted by the popular girls and guys
· Brave through the monotonies that is my class periods
· Eat the slop that is the cafeteria food
· Be insulted some more in gym
· Walk home
· Drop off my school stuff
· Take long walk in woods and try not to jump off a cliff or think of suicide
· Do it all again tomorrow
"I can't wait for today Star said sarcastically while getting dressed in a white undershirt and a blue flannel jacket plus a wrist watch with some worn jeans due to them being her only things that she wears every day and she put on the mysterious necklace with a dark purple crystal that came to her in a box on her 16th birthday the other day. Star thought it was from her parents as they did tell her they would give her something very special in the future and this necklace might be it but when she put on the necklace she felt a little energized almost magically but she didn't have time to enjoy the feeling as Star's "Parents" called her down for breakfast, and she walked begrudgingly downstairs where she was shown face first her first gripe of the day. Breakfast wasn't bad as it was just a standard omelet that Star's "parents" make for her every day, but Star was sick of eating omelets every day, so she just forced it down her throat. After all that Star was packing her bag with all the homework she "Forgot" to do but was stopped by her foster parents who asked Star to sit down for a little bit longer even if it makes her a little late. (Though Star didn't really mind)
"What is it now?" Star asked annoyingly
"Star, we believe something is bothering you again and we would like you to tell us"
"Nothing is bothering me" Star explained
"Really as you have been a little… depressed lately and we just want to help"
"I'm always depressed, and you would be two if you went through the same monotony as me" Star explained a little angry.
"Star we all go through monotony every day, that's just life"
"But I've got the worst kind, because life is so boooring
Before Star's foster parents could say anything, Star already ran through the front door. Star sighed thinking 'thank goodness that's over' before walking over to Janna Ordonia, Star's only "real" friend who was waiting outside for Star.
"Hey Janna" Star said with genuine happiness.
"Sup Starship" Janna answered in a mocking tone, "Watcha doing"
"Nothing interesting that's for sure"
"Yeah, nothing interesting happens here anyway, but maybe we can change that" Janna said excitingly.
"Really, tell me now" Star exclaimed excited.
"How about you and I do a little séance tonight at my house"
"What are you trying to summon this time?" Star asked curiously.
"Just a dead clown who died 100 years ago that said he will be back on his one-hundredth death day" Janna explained casually.
"Oh, Janna you know I'm not into seances and all that stuff"
"K, but the offer is open anytime"
"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind
Janna answered with, "No problem" before running off to meet with Jackie Lynn Thomas her childhood friend.
"Must be nice having someone that'll always be with you" Star said with slight sadness. But Star couldn't focus on her sad life now as she heard hair making a whip sound effect and only one student's hair makes that sound, "Ugh, Brittney, why must you always come during the worst time" Star thought with great annoyance.
"Well look if it isn't Star "Butterbutt" the loner emo girl" Brittney cockily said before hearing the laughter of her "Friends" behind her.
"Ugh… what do you want Brittney" Star mumbled annoyed.
"Nothing you have would ever interest me" Brittney explained before noticing her necklace glowing a light purple as it was nothing Brittney had seen before, "except maybe that pretty necklace your wearing" Brittney said smugly.
"What no, I'll never give you it" Star nearly yelled with rage as the crystal on her necklace began to glow a darker purple.
"Really, because if you do I'll save you the trouble of trying to look pretty with it because let's be honest, that necklace is way too beautiful for your kind. Brittney said with a laugh.
The crystal began glowing even brighter before the school bell had rung. "Oh god damn it, I'm late" Star explained with a sigh, her necklace's glow quickly diminishing.
"Oh well I guess I'll just take it from you another time, HA" Brittney laughed before walking away smugly with her idiotic posse following her like sheep.
Star took some deep breaths and walked to her first period, math. Star opened the door to her classroom before being yelled at my Ms. Skullnick, 'MS. BUTTERFLY, YOUR LATE AGAIN"
"Yeah yeah yeah, I know" Star answered with a tired sigh before talking her seat and could almost hear Ms. Skullnick cursing under her breath about her being late for the hundredth time, but Star paid no attention to it as the boring lessons after boring lesson kept coming in each period until lunch finally came. Star sat down at her table with Janna and they talked,
"Dude I can't believe Skullzers gave me another big project even after I have like three others to complete" Janna complained.
Yeah, I know right but I'm probably not going to do it today anyway but just take a long nap or maybe even a walk in the woods to just relax a little" Star explained with a yawn.
"Yeah, probably" Janna said before noticing Star necklace glowing a little purple.
"Hey Star, where'd you get the purple crystal?" Janna asked curiously.
"Oh this" before looking at the necklace, "Just a birthday present that I got a few days ago. Brittney wanted it for some reason" Star just casually explained.
"Really because it looks so cool "Janna complimented while entranced by it. "It reminds me of a cool magic amulet I read about in one of my magic spell books.
"Oh really" Star said mockingly with a smile on her face, "Will it grant me immortality.
"No, even cooler it grants you the ability to use your emotions as like magic energy and shoot it out of your hand like a magic missile, but if you use too much emotion then the amulet will blow up or something. Janna said with a nerdy attitude.
"You and your D & D knowledge" Star said with a grin.
"It's not D & D, its real and its cool" Janna answered defensively, arms crossed.
The bell rung indicating lunch and the only enjoyable part of school is over. Star begrudgingly picked up her bag with a sigh and said goodbye to Janna, and with that done Star limped to gym, (Aka the worst period because Brittney was there) and changed into her gym uniform putting her necklace inside her locker and walking to the main gym, meanwhile Brittney was lurking around behind her hoping to steal the necklace after Star left. Brittney sneaked over to Star's locker and used the master key she bought from the gym teacher to take Star's necklace but when she grabbed the it, the necklace began to glow and mentally alerted Star to check on her locker, when Star got to the girl's locker room she found Brittney holding her necklace and smirking at Star,
"Oh, sorry Butterbutt your too late, its mine now" Brittney said before breaking out in a villainous cackle and placing the necklace around her neck.
"Give it back Brittney, before I take it back" Star emphasized by her cracking her knuckles.
"Oh, what are you going to do about it, you know it looks good on me and not on you. Brittney said before the crystal on the necklace glowed a dark purple and almost blinded her. After the light went away, Star saw Brittney completely motionless with no pupils, slouched over and drooling, "Um, ok I'll just take my necklace back now and never talk about this again" Star said confused before taking the necklace and running out of the girl's locker room confused as of what just happened.
Star got home after that grueling and confusing day thinking about the necklace and how it might be magic, but she didn't care at that point and just threw her school bag on a recliner in the living room, her parents aren't here as usual, and Star fell on the couch while holding the necklace in her hand. "What are you?" Star asked the necklace before the crystal glowed again almost beckoning her to go the woods outside her house. "The woods?" Star looked at the crystal curiously before looking out the window and at the woods before deciding, "Eh, Why not." Star decided before going off into the woods.
Star went off into the woods and found the walk very peaceful and relaxing, at least compared to her everyday life as the tall trees and green plant life gave it an almost serine feels to it. When Star kept turning in a direction the necklace didn't like, the necklace would glow to tell Star to go another way. "Ugh, where are we going, we've been walking forever" as Star's legs were getting tired form all this walking around. The crystal glowed in a reassuring way before leading her to a cave that had a purple glow inside of its inner walls…like…the…necklace…Star now knew why the necklace had led her here. The crystal on the necklace glowed the brightest it ever did, and it beckoned her to step inside the cave, but Star was reluctant, "Are you sure because I probably should not go into caves, especially glowing ones…" but before Star could finish, the cave pulled her in.
Inside the cave, Star found where the glow was coming from…
A big purple interdimensional portal that looked like it ripped right through a page from one of Janna's "magic" spell books." Mother of all that is holy what is THAT" Star yells echoed through the cave, the crystal on the necklace beckoned Star to go through it but Star felt something she hadn't felt in years…Fear, yes fear as who knows where the portal led too but something inside Star wanted to see what was through that portal as it can't be worse than her current life as she took a step into the portal and looked beyond realities boundaries for the very first time and saw something beautiful on the other side…
Star saw trees but not just any trees, gigantic trees with gigantic roots maybe even bigger than redwoods but much prettier with sparkling purple bark with alien like vegetation surrounding the sparkling trees, (Maybe because they probably are alien) and two planets with the sun shining in the beautiful daylit sky that breaks the laws of physics. (Maybe but I never paid attention in science class) This forest was so beautiful that Star didn't even notice the portal closing behind her, "Did I die and go to heaven, was the crystal slowly poisoning me the whole time" Star thought but then the crystal on her necklace glowed the bright purple again. "Oh, what now…before Star could finish talking, she was surrounded by a small band of m..m…MONSTERS.
The monsters slowly got closer and closer smelling terrible as she imagined what monsters would smell like but they all varied in shapes and sizes, but their leader was a tall buff frog man that wore a green tunic with some brown cloth pants with a claw toothed smile that terrified Star as she slowly backed off as they got closer but she kept the fear hidden inside her so the monsters wouldn't find her as easy prey but she felt that it was useless.
Hello, I Yvgeny Bulgolyubov but you call me Buff Frog if wish, Buff Frog said in a Russian accent.
"Hi, b... b…Buff Frog, my name is Star Butterfly and I was just on my way home" Star said with part fear, part confusion, and a sheepish smile. But Buff Frog spotted the glowing purple necklace around her neck and was entranced by it's almost hypnotic glow and said,
Where get beautiful crystal on neck?" Buff Frog said still entranced by the glow of the crystal.
Um, well I got it for my birthday and it led me to this place" Star answered still in fear from the approaching monsters.
"Must get crystal" Buff Frog yelled while all the monsters charged her.
"What" Star exclaimed while trying to run but ended up tripping on one of the giant roots of the giant sparkling trees of this magical forest. Star landed on the dirt with a grunt and saw as the monsters were closing in on her for her crystal for some reason and as they were about to strike, the fear she had kept inside her was overtaking her and she let out a terrified primal scream that followed by a blinding purple light that came from her hands.
When Star opened her eyes, she saw the utter devastation she must've caused as the once tall sparkling trees are now just dead logs on the once soft fertile dirt as they are black with burn marks with the vegetation now none existent as they are now just ashes from the blinding light that came from her fear, this small part of the magical forest might now be as dead as the monsters that attacked her.
But to her surprise, the monsters were just lying on the ground dazed from the explosion of purple light that was just unleashed from Star's fear.
"Retreat"
"Dark Magic"
"Darkness comes from crystal"
All the monsters were terrified of Star and her "Dark" crystal so they all fled.
When the monsters retreated, Star felt something inside of her that she never knew she would ever feel, fun…pure and unadulterated fun. "Ha, suckers I'm the wizard now, and I will strike you all down again if you ever come near me again" Star yelled triumphally.
Star looked at her necklace as it was unscathed by the explosion, "Maybe Janna was right about you, maybe you do use my emotions as magic energy" but before she could finish that thought an armor-clad boy with a red cape and hood who looked about Star's age came running in the clearing with his sword unsheathed, Star began back away and thought, "Holy crap a real medieval knight, this is so cool" before the figure quickly sheathed its dark gold blade which she swore had shrunk into something that almost looked like scissors and spoke in a deep voice and a slight British accent,
"Are you alright?" the figure asked with concern. "I saw a blinding explosion of light happen and…" the figure stopped when it saw that Star was the only one in the clearing looking oddly suspicious and was clutching something glowing purple close to her neck.
"What is that your holding, miss?" the figure asked in a questioning tone while pointing to Star's clutched hand.
"What, oh this necklace thing it's nothing" Star explained with a sheepish smile acting very suspicious.
"Mind if I see that necklace your holding miss?" The figure grew closer still pointing at her hand.
"I don't think you need to, as it's nothing and you'll just be wasting your time" Star explained while backing away from the knight still looking sheepish.
"I wasn't asking" the boy said sternly with look of anger in his brown eyes coming ever closer.
"Star began to run the opposite direction and ran face first into one of the trees. Star fell back and was knocked out due to the impact, "Well that was less difficult than I thought" the boy thought to himself before calling for a processing crew on his dimensional communicator on his wrist. "Hello Silver Blade, this is Red Hood and I've got a 40-19 in the Forest of Unlikely Death and need processing to come and take the suspect away, over"
"Copy that Red Hood, we'll send evac immediately" Silver Blade replied.
A dimensional portal opened in front of Red Hood and a pair of knights wearing yellow and orange armor came out holding a cot and took Star through the portal with Red Hood following behind them and taking the necklace from Star's neck before anyone noticed.
When Star came to, she woke up in some kind of dark dungeon fit with all the classic medieval dungeon stuff like iron chains that she was chained to and a thick iron door to keep her from escaping, "Well this is just great, I'm stuck in some dungeon with no way out, while chained to a wall and my necklace is nowhere to be found and I can't even see anything it's so dark" Star thought sarcastically but honestly was kind of excited to see how the justice system worked in this medieval fantasy world that looked like Game of Thrones but less incest.(Maybe)
Meanwhile in the Knights Den with Red Hood talking to his superior in his office, "So your telling me that this random foreigner had a magic crystal on her necklace that lets her use dark magic?" Captain Jacob of the Johannsen Kingdom asked confusingly.
"Well…yes" Red Hood answered casually.
"Any evidence to support your claim Red Hood?" Jacob asked, arms crossed.
"Well, not evidence but I do know that when I saw the explosion and ran to the afflicted area, I saw the foreigner standing in the middle of it with a big smile across her face while holding the glowing necklace" Red Hood answered with satisfaction.
"Well may I see this necklace then"
"Of course," Red Hood replied before taking out a small pouch from his side, revealing the purple glowing necklace.
Captain Jacobs eyes were immediately fixated on the glowing crystal the necklace held, "What beauty that crystal holds" Jacob answered with great need.
"Ye…yes but I need to take it in for processing before we do anything else with it" Red Hood clarified.
"Well, let's not be so hasty now as maybe the Silver Blade doesn't need to know about this my boy"
"What do you mean?" Marco asked suspiciously.
"I mean if that little girl was able to cause a huge explosion then imagine what we could do with all this raw, untamed, and destructive power" Jacob said with a lust for power.
"I can't believe my ears Captain, what your suggesting is treason of the highest order" Red Hood looked back down at the glowing crystal and said, "Even if you could defeat the Silver Blade, you still have to face the Queen and the Princess and nothing is stronger than royal magic, not even the dark arts inside this crystal could defeat the Johannsen's and their berserker magic" Red Hood yelled hoping to snap the Captain back to his senses but Jacob didn't budge.
"That doesn't matter as I can't have you reporting this conversation to the Silver Blade, so if you don't help then I'll have to silence you, permanently" The Captain threatened.
"Unlike you, I didn't become a knight to have power, I came to serve what I believe in as I still have my honor" the red knight proudly exclaimed.
"Well…don't say I didn't warn you" Jacob said before leaping at the necklace still in the little pouch.
Red Hood grabbed the pouch and tied it back to his side. The captain threw a punch at Red Hood and connected it, Red Hood was punched through a door behind him and quickly got to his feet, unsheathing his scissors who then extended it into a broadsword with a flick of the wrist.
"You were never a true knight, why do you think we gave you a fake name instead of the title of Sir" The captain insulted at Red Hood while emerging from the broken doorway wearing his shining silver armor with dark under armor with a jagged dagger in each hand.
"Maybe, but I'm still a better knight than you'll ever be as at least I don't betray my Order for a glowing rock and you just bribed your way into power" Red Hood insulted back while yelling, "Traitor" before flipping his dark gold blade in multiple directions before resting it at his chest in a defensive stance.
"Still trying to show off me boy?" Jacob asked. "After I take the power of the crystal from your dead corpse, I'll just blame it on the Foreigner that brought it and have her take the death sentence" Jacob explained, smiling smugly.
"No, you can't she didn't even do anything that makes her deserve death" Red Hood exclaimed with concern.
"Too late, Red Hood" Jacob said mockingly before thrusting his daggers at his neck.
Red Hood ducked underneath his jagged blades and gave an uppercut to Jacobs jaw which knocked him back staggered which gave Red Hood the perfect opportunity to grab Jacobs neck and use the hilt of his blade to knock him out sending him flying back into the broken doorway.
Red Hood took off into a sprint to the foreigner's cell as he hoped she could tell him more about the necklace but not before calling the Silver Blade and telling them of Captain Jacobs betrayal, "Silver Blade, this Red Hood calling in an act of treason and attempted murder from corrupted former Captain Jacob, requesting immediate arrest in the Silver Blade Knights Den, room 667" Red Hood asked with no restraint.
"Copy that Red Hood, we'll take the corrupted captain and send him to the Knight Rehabilitation Center" Silver Blade responded.
And with that done, Red Hood looked over at the unconscious captain with disgust before heading to the cell of the foreigner that brought him the dark necklace.
Red Hood opened the iron cell door of Star's room and walked inside, "Finally, I've been waiting forever for someone to come and explain why I'm still in chains as they really hurt"
Red Hood didn't answer and slowly locked the cell door with a face of anger before turning on the light with a clap.
"Um, what's going on?" Star asked confused and a little scared.
Red Hood took out the necklace and asked in a menacing voice, "Where did you get this piece of dark magic? The monsters, Septarians, Order of the Dark Saber, where?"
Star was shocked by his words and could only muster, "I don't know, it just showed up at my house on my 16th birthday in an unmarked box with a little treasure chest inside"
Red Hood didn't believe any word and got closer, still holding the necklace out as it was getting brighter and was also clutching his blade by his side, "Don't lie to me little lady as I won't hesitate to bring you down"
Star now scared out of her mind could only say, "I don't know, I'm telling you It just came to me and I swear that I would never lie…please don't hurt me" Star answered with tears running down her cheek.
Red Hood was shocked by her tears and regretted his harsh words to a probably innocent girl that didn't deserve them, "Wait don't cry, I only said that, so you would tell the truth. Please don't be scared I wasn't going to hurt you, I was just scared" Red Hood admitted.
Star was surprised by him admitting and stopped crying, "Scared of what? You're a knight in shining armor with a sword and my necklace looking at a defenseless chained up girl. Why would you be scared?" Star asked curiously.
"Because of your necklace and the power, it has over people who lust for its power" Red Hood replied. "I'm scared of what this crystal is and what it does"
Star was surprised and looked at the boy, "Then why didn't you just say so, instead of threatening me with your sword?" Star was confused.
I was mad okay…as my superior just tried to kill me for this necklace and that this thing is dangerous enough to hurt a lot of people if I don't find a way to control it" Red Hood admitted with his head down.
"Well…how about you let me go and I'll show you how to use it as the crystal is attracted to me" Star asked with some hope, but then then the crystal on the necklace began to glow a bright purple and shot two lasers at the chains holding Star and floated over to Star as she grabbed the necklace, putting it around her neck with a confused smile.
"What the…" Red Hood exclaimed surprised before drawing his sword at Star.
"Woah calm down their brave knight, I'm just as confused as you are" Star explained putting her hands up.
"Okay so…the crystal seems attracted to you and only you, so I guess that means it likes you, but I can't leave you with it as you don't seem to have control over it…"
"Wait no" Star yelled with great concern, "Do you know how boring my life is before this crystal came along?" Star asked the knight knowing he didn't have an answer. "You don't know how hard my life is" Star sighed before continuing, "Every day I wake up knowing I'll just be mentally abused by harsh insults and sexist terms by everyone at my school, I would be called the outcast, loner, goth, emo, and all that stuff and be bombarded by useless facts taught to me by my boring teachers, plus the godawful food in the cafeteria coupled by my overbearing foster parents…I mean they love me I guess but they are barely there for me because of how busy they are, I'm home alone most of the time and bored out of my mind so I take long walks in the woods near my town to just try to not go insane as the woods help calm me down and they offer an escape from the monotony of the real world and…I'm all alone…Star whispered before tearing up being reminded of her sad life. "I don't even have any real family as I was adopted, do you know what it's like living life knowing that your alone in this cruel, unforgiving world?" Star asked before finally breaking into tears. "Just want an escape for once that doesn't end…" Star explained now sitting down with her head in her knees with the tears never stopping.
"I…I understand how you feel" the boy said with sympathy before Star looked up at the knight, "I came to this dimension through a portal and I was only six years old at the time but I remember everything that happened that day as like it was yesterday as the portal closed behind closed me and I was stuck in an unknown dimension with nothing but the cloths on my back, I was terrified and lost and…alone but I was found thankfully by…someone and they took care of me like I was one of their own and I'm forever grateful for what she did as she taught me how to fight and inspired me to be a knight so when I was ten years old, I joined the Order of The Silver Blade and for six years trained to be knight and I finally became one last year but the other knights all criticized me saying I was too "impure" for the honor of knight and that I was a "monster in Mewman clothing" since I was from another dimension and they all refused to call me by the title of Sir so they just called me red hood and I eventually just got used to the name and started to use it myself but I've been trying to be the best knight I could by helping out the poor with food kitchens or going on missions with great result but they just won't acknowledge me as a knight, not even with all I've done. Maybe I 'would be better off back home but my efforts to get back home have been futile at best. In fact, my real name is Sir Marco and I haven't heard anyone call me that except my "foster" mom as you call them"
Star stopped crying and stood up while looking at Marco (Nice name) while he was kneeling on the floor with his head down, but Star saw him like a lost piece of her past and really felt his pain as she started connecting with him sympathetically, "Wow, I never thought anyone I knew had a worse life than me but…thank you"
"For what, I just told my stupid sad life that you didn't need to hear…
"No. Don't say that Marco, you are great person for helping all those people and if those other knights can't see that, well then they don't deserve your time or your patience" Star said with great care." Thank you for telling me your story, I know it must've been hard."
Marco couldn't believe his ears, was someone finally patting him on his back for all he's done, for all his troubles, and for all his efforts to please the people. After all this time, Marco felt something inside of him that he never felt before, compassion and love for his new friend.
"Do you really mean what you said?" Marco asked hopefully.
"Every word" Star said with genuine happiness.
"Thank you" Marco replied before wiping a singular tear from his cheek.
Star got closer to Marco and sincerely asked Marco, "Do you want a hug"
Marco looked at her with confusion before answering by embracing her with a warm hug with his arms wrapped around her shoulders.
Star was surprised but quickly returned the hug, wrapping her arms around his shoulders.
The hug lasted a long time and the crystal glowed a bright blood red color that bathed over both but they both failed to notice.
After a while they broke the hug and smiled to each other,
"You're really strong" Star told Marco.
"Thanks, you too and sorry if the hug wasn't good as I haven't hugged somebody in a long time" Marco replied while looking down at the floor.
"Oh, don't be, I haven't either and you're a natural at hugging" Star said with a big bright smile that lifted Marco's head up to her eyes.
"Oh, also I forgot to ask for your name" Marco asked quickly.
"Oh right, well my name is Star Butterfly" Star answered happily.
"Well nice to meet you Star butterfly, that's a pretty name" Marco said with a bow and quickly added, "My name is Marco"
"Yeah, I know" Star said lightly blushing, "You told me when you were explaining your past"
"Oh well…" Marco said embarrassed, "just making sure you remember" Marco explained sheepishly.
They both laughed and as they both stared into each other's eyes, they felt like old friends reuniting after a long time.
They kept staring at each other smiling, both not knowing what to do but Star's wrist watch alerted her that her parents were almost home.
"Oh no, I totally forgot about my foster parents" Star said in a panic. "They will get really mad if I'm not home when they come home" Star was almost hyperventilating.
"Woah calm down, I'll just take you home" Marco answered reassuringly while shrinking his sword into scissors.
'I knew they were scissors" Star said proudly.
"Well these scissors are special because they can open interdimensional portals to any dimension anytime I want" Marco bragged.
"Woah" Star said totally jealous.
"Except, I can only go to placing that I've been to before so it's not that cool" Marco quickly added before holding them up for Star,
"What are you doing?" Star asked confusingly.
"Well I told you that I can't open a portal to a place I haven't been to before, so you need to use these scissors to open a portal to your home" Marco explained.
"Cool" Star whispered before taking the scissors in her hand staring at them. They were sand blue with a red center and dark gold for the blades that looked like swords.
"Just think really hard about your home and cut the air" Marco instructed.
Star did as instructed and cut the air, tearing a hole in realty and creating a swirling yellow portal that glowed beautifully in front of her before handing back the scissors to Marco who put the scissors in a scabbard and was gesturing her to go through the portal she had just created.
Star stepped though and saw that she was in her living room with Marco following close behind her and with that the portal closed behind them,
"So, this is your home huh" Marco asked interested in the place.
"Yup" Star answered enthusiastically.
Marco snapped his fingers and his armor magically disappeared revealing a red tunic underneath with some black pants.
"Woah, how'd you do that" Star asked awestruck because of the magic.
"Just something all knights can do" Marco explained in a bragging way with a smile.
Star thought to herself and said, "So are we friends now…Marco?" Star asked hopeful he would say yes.
"Of course, were friends, but I might need to stick around you a little longer, so I can keep an eye on you and that crystal on your necklace" Marco answered while pointing to her necklace.
"Oh please, stay as long as you like, maybe you can even sleep here tonight?" Star said the last part slowly blushing slightly with her head to the side with crystal glowing a brighter red.
"Um well…" Marco mumbled with a light blush, 'What would your foster parents think about that?"
"Oh, they wouldn't mind, in fact they would be extremely happy for me as I would finally have a friend over for once…" but before Star could finish, her parents came through the front door with big happy smiles on their faces.
"Oh Star, we are so happy that you finally have a friend over and for a sleepover no less" Star parents happily exchanged looks at Marco and Star together. "Were so happy for you Star as you really don't bring friends over much and what is your handsome friend's name?" Star parents asked Marco.
'Oh well, my name is Sir Marco, but you may just call me Marco" Marco replied with a slight British accent while shaking their hands ending with a bow.
"Ooooo, such a gentleman" Star parents happily exclaimed.
Star was watching them and feeling such joy to see Marco and her parents getting along so well.
"Well anyway mom and dad, can you please leave us alone as I want to hang out with Marco and show him our culture as he isn't from here" Star politely asked her foster parents.
Star's parents were surprised that she called them mom and dad, but they decided to leave the two friends alone for a while and they left to go upstairs.
"So, Marco what do you want to do now?" Star asked with a great big smile on her face.
"Well, I always have wanted to watch a movie again as it's been ten years since I've last seen one" Marco answered with his head down.
"You don't know what your missing out on" Star said proudly and grabbed ahold of his wrist and pulled him towards the couch and gestured for him to sit down while she put a movie into the DVD player, but Star was so excited to finally hang out with someone she can relate to and that cares about her. They both sat down waiting for the movie to start and Star snuggled closer to Marco. Marco was unsure of what to do but Star put an arm around his shoulder, so Marco did the same and noticed that Star was very warm and so was he but…began…to…. doze…off.
The movie was beginning to start but both fell asleep before they could even watch it. They were both asleep in each other's arms with happy smiles across both their faces.
Meanwhile, Star's parents were watching form stairs trying to hold in their snickers, but both knew that this was the start of a beautiful friendship between two loners with tragic pasts but both somehow managed to find each other in the grand multiverse and now they both have someone they can count on whenever they needed them as Marco was Star's escape from reality and Star was Marco's anchor into reality.
This is just an idea I had one day, and I decided to write it down, so I wouldn't forget it.
Let me know what you think of my AU idea with a review as I accept all forms of helpful criticism from people as this is my first fanfic, so I hope you enjoy.
