Marco Diaz. That was his name.
The Safe Kid. Unlike anybody cared about him.
That was his nickname. Just because he was wearing a helmet in the shower once. ONCE! And now he was marked forever with this boring, explicit name.
Safe kid.
But after a taunting day of school, all Marco wanted was a nap. On the couch. Mostly because his bed was out of commission for some reason. He didn't know how.
But he guessed it was a prank like all the other pranks that Justin and Lars did. But this one was... different. It was like his bed was literally missing. So even if he tried to sleep in it, he wouldn't have noticed the prank planted in it. Because the prank was just that.
Marco was confused. But he let it slide. His parents were buying a new one. But that was taking too long for the Safe Kid. He despised that lumpy couch. He only liked it when it was movie time.
But now he lay on it with a frown. Not even caring about the lumps punching is back every which way, he fell asleep.
Marco woke in his bed. It was soft and nice and silky. The perfect bed.
But when did he get this? The last time he remembered having a bed was when it mysteriously disappeared. He shrugged. Marco reluctantly got out of bed to brush his hair and teeth for school.
He took a nice warm shower, put on some deodorant, the essentials. Pulling on his gray shirt and black jeans, his signature hoodie over his shirt, Marco walked to the door.
As he was about to turn the knob, he heard someone yell his name. It wasn't his parents. They didn't have 14 year old voices. Nor did they run down the stairs like a lunatic.
A girl, about his age jumped down the stairs and ran towards him with long, soft blonde hair. She wore a blue dress with blue boots that looked like feathers. Or fur. Marco couldn't tell.
She wore blue leggings and had a colorful belt wrapped around her waist.
Marco felt like he knew this girl. But... who was she?! An exchange student? They hadn't had one of those in years! But, who was this cheerful gal that seemed to light up his day with that smile?
Her blue eyes smiled with her mouth, perfect shaped hearts on her cheeks.
Who is she? Marco thought, dazed. She's so pretty. Way more pretty than Jackie. Marco flinched as he thought about his crush's name. How she had rejected him.
The girl fixed the devil headband on her bangs. She smiled at him. "Ready to go, Marco? I can't wait to greet everyone!"
Marco shook his head to clear it as the girl opened the door.
"Who are you?"The girl stared at him with hurt in her blue eyes.
"You sounded just like that when you first met me... are you okay, Marco?"
"What is your name?"
The girl squinted at me. The hurt in her eyes growing. The hearts on her cheeks cracked a little before she pulled out a hand made wand.
"I'm Star Butterfly! A Princess from another dimension named Mewni! I've taken you there!"
"Mewni? Another di-"
"This is my wand! It's real!"
The girl whipped her arm around with her "wand" and shot a roach on the sidewalk after yelling "Narwhal Blast!"
Marco watched in shock and awe as a huge narwhal smacked the ground. He winced when the narwhal disappeared, leaving a sad smug that used to be a roach.
"That's my room! I used a spell to create that tower! Hi Flying Pig!"
The blue eyed blonde waved at a pig flying out the window. Marco gasped as it cried back "HAY STAAR!"
"Remember when I tried to turn your room into one similar to mine? Yeah, that was a sight ."
Marco watched as she started knawing her wand. Before he could react she yelled "Hugs!" and almost hugged him to death. Almost.
"And we're best friends! You didn't forget, right?"
Marco pushed the girl off him. He started taking things in.
"You're a magical Princess from another Dimension."
"Yep!"
"You have a Magic wand, and from guessing that those hearts are real."
"You got it!"
"You can make things. You have a big tower for a room. You have a flying pig."
"His name is Terry."
"You and I are bestfriends."
"Yes we are!"
"What else am I missing?"
Star knawed her wand and thought before smiling at him.
"I'm the most popular girl in Echo Creek Academy! I have lots of fans that love me. So they love you! And they ship us!"
Marco ignored the last part and listened to the first.
"The most... popular?!"
"Oh, and we fight monsters together! By the way, we're gonna be late."
"OH CRAP!"
