Narrator POV
Queen Moon and King Butterfly sat on their throne as a couple of the guards dragged in a criminal to be questioned. The guard threw the man in front of the King and Queen, getting up on his knees as he tried to catch his breath looking up at them for mercy.
"what are the charges" Queen moon asked impatiently.
"we caught this man trying to steal ammunition from the armory, also he was in position of these stolen dimensional scissors".
The man stood up trying to defend himself "they're not stolen my cousin gave them to me".
"SIT DOWN" the guard ordered hitting the man in the back of the knee dropping him instantly.
"give the scissors to me" Queen Moon stated.
The guard walked up and handed the queen the scissors. Taking them into her hand she examined it, flipping them over to the other side her eyes widened and showed her husband so he could see for himself. He too got very surprised while looking the scissors over and seeing the name "Marco" engraved on it.
"give us the room" the king ordered.
Without question the guards left only leaving the captured man, the King and Queen. King Butterfly rose from his seat and walked down the steps to look at the man up close. The man's heart started to beat faster with every step the king took. Fearing for his life he tried to think of a way to escape. After seeing that the guards would immediately come back inside and kill him on the spot if they thought their was any funny business. He thought against it and had to hope the King was in a good mood.
Once getting down the stars the king stood over the criminal "stand up".
Slowly getting up still feeling the affects of the strike he took to the back of the knee earlier by the guard. Standing back up on his own two feet the man over towered the king being much taller than him.
Looking him up and down the King examined him "what is your name, and how did you get these scissors".
Afraid to make eye contact, the man looked forward "my name is Miguel Diaz and like I said earlier my cousin gave me them a few years back my lord".
Queen Moon had a realization come over her once hearing the last name and she leaned forward in her seat "your cousin wouldn't happen to be named Marco would he".
looking at the Queen he answered "Yes, but he doesn't have anything to do with this, he was still just a kid when he gave them to me".
King Butterfly took out a knife, Miguel jumped fearing that this would be his final moments but instead the king turned him around and cut off the rope that was tying his hands together.
Rubbing his wrist the man turned around to listen to what King Butterfly had to say "their no need to be afraid Miguel, we actually have a history with your family".
Giving Miguel his dimensional scissors back King Butterfly made his way back to his throne "as i'm sure you know we have been at war with Toffee and his army of monsters for three long years now and this past year they have kidnapped our daughter".
The King looked away, while Queen Moon hanged her head relieving the pain of losing their daugher. Regaining her composer first Queen Moon continued on for her husband "the truth is Mewni is losing the war and for us to have any kind of chance of winning this we need every man possible on the battlefield and we can't do that if we send out a group of men to look for Star".
Seeing where this is going Miguel spoke up "so you would like for me to find Star and bring her back home".
"Ultimately yes" King Butterfly said "but first we are going to send you back home".
Marco POV
"C'mon Marco a bunch of us are heading down to the shore for the summer come with us" Jackie said as people started to fill up in her car.
"I wish I could but I need to take care of a few things here first" I looked over at the car to see that it was pack "besides it looks a little crowded anyway".
Jackie put her head down while she frowned and I picked her head up by the chin "but I promise i'll be down there first thing tomorrow morning".
She wrapped her arms around my neck "promise".
I gave her kiss and pulled away "I promise".
We kissed again and neither one of us pulled away until Oskar decided to be an asshole and started to honk the horn "cmon Jackie, lets go".
Going back in for another kiss me and Jackie both put our hand up to flip him off. Soon after we finally pulled away and Jackie hoped into the driver's seat of her car. I watched them drive away as I waved goodbye. Once they were out of sight, I turned to start walking home.
The walk was peaceful until I soon found out that I was being followed and almost scared to death "too busy to go down to the shore with your girlfriend huh".
I jumped up and I placed my hand on my chest and started to breath hard "Janna how many times have i told you to stop sneaking up on me".
"Don't ignore the question. Besides you're totally full of shit, we both know you're not going down to the shore with Jackie today because tonight's the anniversary".
Once having my breathing under controlled I walked away from Janna. Unfortunately for me she wasn't getting the hint and continued to follow me "so tell me Marco how long has it been since you let the love of your life walk of the front door, or should I say portal, two, four years".
Not giving her any extra attention I continued to look straight as I kept walking "three year, and she was never the love of my life".
Janna walked in front of me blocking my path "Marco get real, you said it yourself it's been three years since Star left, were going to be seniors next year and I still see you sitting on your roof every night waiting to see if a portal will open up and if Star will come walking out of it. You've never given up hope, because you love her".
"look Janna I don't know how many time I need to say this but i'm not in love with Star and yeah I do wait for at night still but only because she was my best friend nothing more, nothing less" I pushed her out of my way and continued on home.
"Star didn't think so" Janna yelled out stopping me in my tracks "she thought that you two could have been more than just friends, and you what i think. I think the only reason your angry is because you realized the same thing after it was too late".
Igoning Janna once more I continued on my home as I heard her say one more thing "I guess i'll see your around this summer".
"I can hardly wait" I said not stopping this time.
Narrator POV
When Marco finally made his way home his parents were waiting for him excitedly at the front door when he walked in "Marco we have some very exciting news".
Marco threw his school bag in the trash seeing that he wouldn't need it anymore then turned to face his parents "what is?"
Before they could even get a word out a voice came from the stairs "Well holy shit look at little Marco all grown up".
Marco turned to the stairs and gasped "Miguel".
Marco ran over and the two embraced in a hug. Miguel was Marco's first cousin and a few years older than him. Marco hasn't seen him since he gave his cousin the dimensional scissors in hope to forget about Star at the time. He told Miguel all about Star and everything that had happened and wanted him to hold onto the scissors knowing he could trust him to take of them.
The two pulled away and Marco was the first to say something "oh man it's been so long, we have so much to catch up on like I finally got my black belt, me and Jackie are still together and i'm already getting looked at for collages".
Miguel nervously looked around the house "yeah, yeah that's great I can't wait to talk with you about all that. In fact why don't we head upstairs cause I really need to talk to you about something too".
Marco felt like something was off, like his cousin was acting kind of strange. It must be because they haven't seen each other in so long "yeah but the thing is now's actually not a good time, I have a few things I need to do first but as soon as i'm done we can chill. Is that ok".
Miguel waved his hand as he awkwardly started to lean on the wall "ummm yeah sure no problem. As soon as you're ready i'll be in my room".
Again Marco felt as if his cousin was acting strange but choose to ignore it "alright cool, i'll be back as soon as I can".
With that Marco left the house and Miguel went back up the guest room where he was staying. He shut the door behind him and looked at the file that he left on his bed. He picked it up and stared at it. The file was full of stuff about Star to help him get a head start on tracking her down. After a few moments he threw the file on the desk that was in the room, not wanting to look at the disbursing contents and pictures that was inside the folder for a second time. Miguel was exhausted, after all the events that took place today and the long road he had in front of him he decided he should get some sleep before having to explain everything to Marco that was explained to him. Getting into bed he pulled the covers over his head. He didn't know what he was going to say, he just hoped that he wouldn't have spend too much time trying to convince Marco into coming with him to save Star. Seeing that both his own and Star's life depended on it.
Welp, there's chapter one. I hope you guys liked it, let me know what you think. To clear up any confusion everyone is three years older in this story, meaning Marco, Star, and Jenna are all 17. Miguel is 20 and his story will be better explained next chapter. Till next time, stay tuned.
