Chapter 1-

Marco sighed. The lights were set up, the tree was decorated, and the presents were in order. In this time of the year, usually he would be ecstatic. But unfortunately, he wasn't sharing the occasion with his best friend.

Even though he invited his other friends over to join him, he still couldn't even muster a smile knowing that Star wasn't there. Back in Mewni on important business, Star had to leave right after Halloween. As her absence stretched onto Christmas Eve, Marco had some time to himself trying to figure out why he thought of the princess so much. He didn't think it was just because he missed her, no. Was she even considered a friend to him? Feelings don't lie, Marco knew that.

As he was standing in the kitchen thinking about the situation, his friends, including PonyHead and Tom, gathered around in the living room, worried about the poor boy.

"Um, what's up with Marco?" Jackie asked. He hadn't come out of that kitchen for a while.

"Should we ask?" Alfonso said, starting to get up to go to his friend.

"No, we shouldn't" Tom said, sitting him back down. "Give him some space"

"Why should we? We came over here for a reason" Janna said, standing up.

"Um, he's obviously in there because he's worried about Star. She's the guy's best friend, after all" PonyHead said, flying over the small crowd.

Tom sighed and shook his head. "What are we gonna do?"

"Well, it's not like we can bring Star back! Even though that would be really cool!" Starfan13 said with a worried smile

"We CAN do that!" Pony said. "Tom, do you have your dimensional scissors?"

"My old ones, yeah. Why? Do you honestly think she's gonna come back?" Tom replied

"Excuse me, but this is Star Butterfly we're talking about. She's gonna come back" PonyHead said, annoyed at his response. "Just give me your scissors."

"What are we gonna do about Marco, though?" Jackie asked. Tom smirked.

"Why are you so worried about Marco all of a sudden?" He asked.

"He's my friend! Duh" she answered. "Any ideas?"

"Let's take him to his favorite spot at the park! He can be distracted by his thoughts if we do!" Ferguson answered, jolting up to his feet.

"I'll join you!" Jackie said.

"I guess I'll go too" Tom agreed.

"And me!" Alfonso said, raising his hand.

"Anyone else?" Ferguson asked the rest of the group.

Starfan13 shook her head. "I wanna go with PonyHead to get Star!"

"Me too. There's some weird stuff in Mewni that I wanna see" Janna said,rubbing her hands together.

"Okay! I guess this sounds like a plan! Meet back at the park?" Ferguson asked the group. They looked at each other and agreed.

Star and Marco were going to be together for Christmas.
