Hey guys. I'm TheAmazingTurtle and this is my first SVTFOE fanfic. I really hope you enjoy aand, if you want, check out my Total Drama fanfic, "Extreme Reality". That's pretty much it from me, so let's get started!
The morning sun rose over the small town of Echo Creek. It was quiet and peaceful, a gentle breeze blowing the trees and birds cheerfully chirping at the start of a new day. It was the start of summer vacation, so Echo Creek Academy was completely empty. Under normal circumstances, all the kids would choose to sleep in. However, today was a special day, and all the kids were excited for what's to come... especially a certain pair of dimensional-hopping, adventure-having best friends.
Marco Diaz was laying in his bed, opening his eyes and developing an early smile. He quickly jumped out of bed and began to put on his trademark red hoodie and black skinny jeans. As he opened the door to walk out of his room, he was greeted with a tackle-hug from a certain princess.
"Oofff!" Marco grunted. He landed roughly on the floor, with Star Butterfly on top of him. She looked down at him, her light blue eyes sparkling and her smile shining brightly.
"Good morning, Marcoooooo!" Star exclaimed, sitting on top of Marco's stomach. Marco gently pushed her off him and grunted as he got up.
"Good morning, Star," Marco replied, dusting himself off and giving Star a kind smile. She smiled back, the hearts on her cheeks glowing.
Star jumped up and down, squealing and clapping her hands. "I'm so excited! I'm so excited! EEEEEEE!"
Marco grabbed Star's arms to stop her excitement fit. He began to laugh. "I'm excited, too, but you have to calm down!"
Star nodded and tried to stand still. Her face then began to twitch and her body began to shake. Marco knew that asking Star to calm down was pretty much impossible for her to do. Star then began to jump up and down again, squealing. Marco smiled and walked to the bathroom, with Star following him.
As Marco carefully fixed his dark brown hair, Star paced back and forth impatiently.
"C'mon, Marco! We gotta gooooo!" Star whined. Marco was slowly brushing his hair with his special comb, his brown eyes squinting in the mirror as he made sure his hair was perfect. Star knew that Marco was a neat freak and did this every morning, but this was a special day!
"I have to make sure I look good," Marco replied, putting the finishing touches on his "masterpiece".
"You look fine, Marco! C'mon!" Star demanded, pulling Marco by the arm out of the bathroom.
"I can't believe we're going to the beach for a whole week!" Star exclaimed, using her wand to pick up her beach bags and dropping them at the bottom of the stairs.
Marco nodded, also grabbing his bag. "Yeah, my parents own a beach house at this fantastic beach! It's beautiful out there!" The two friends walked down the stairs together. "What are the beaches like in Mewni?"
Star looked up in thought, remembering fond memories of the various sea monsters battling on the beaches shore and the beachgoers running away in fear. "Nothing special," Star answered, shrugging her shoulders.
Star and Marco found his mother waiting at the front door next to the bags. She was wearing a huge beach hat on her auburn ponytail. She also was wearing a pink T-shirt and brown shorts.
Star grinned and pointed at Angie Diaz's hat while also pointing at her own that rested on her head. "Twinsies!" she exclaimed.
Angie smiled and looked at the two kids. "Are you guys ready?"
Star jumped up and down once again. "You bet I am!" she cheered. Marco nodded in agreement, smiling.
Angie turned towards Star, giving her a smile. "Now, don't you look cute today! You look ready for a fun day at the beach."
Star was wearing a white sundress with tiny stars all over it, swaying gently from an occasional breeze. Star smiled as she rocked gently back and forth to make the bottom of the dress move. Marco looked at this and smiled, as well.
Angie then looked at her son, looking confused and amused. "Marco, do you think a hoodie and skinny jeans is the best clothing to wear for the beach?"
Marco put his hands on his hips and looked determined. "Hoodies are perfect for any occasion! " Both his mom and Star giggled.
Marco ignored this and looked around. "Hey, where's Dad?"
"He's left to pick up the other kids," Marco's mom answered.
Star and Marco looked at her, confused. "Other kids?" they asked in unison.
They then heard the sound of a car pulling into their driveway. They turned to see Rafael Diaz driving the family van. He smiled excitedly as he jumped out and ran towards his wife.
"Alrighty, are you guys ready?" he asked, his Spanish accent causing him to roll his r's.
"You bet, sweetie," Angie replied, helping him grab the beach bags. "Did you pick up the other kids that are coming?"
"Of course, and they're really excited!" Rafael answered, smiling. Marco and Star looked at him, confused.
"What other kids are coming with us?" Marco asked, kind of bummed out that it wasn't going to be just the four of them at the beach.
Suddenly, the back door of the van bursted open. A girl with an olive green shirt, yellow skirt and a green hat that covering her short dark-blue hair jumped out. She had two huge fangs sticking out of the side of her mouth and a menacing look in her brown eyes. She raised her arms up and roared, "MARCO!"
Marco jumped back in surprise and hid behind Star.
"Wait, why am I hiding?" Marco asked himself, realizing how silly he looked. He then looked at the girl, who was now on the ground laughing.
Marco sighed. "Hey, Janna."
Star ran up to Janna and gave her a hug. "Oh my gosh! I can't believe you're coming with us! Awesome!" Marco smiled, admiring how Star could make anyone feel welcome. Still, he didn't like the fact Janna was coming with them.
Janna smiled at Star. "Yeah. I've heard that a dead body washed up on the shore of the beach we're visiting once. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll see one!" Everyone looked at Janna, kind of freaked out.
"That's great, Janna!" Star lied, smiling.
Two boys walked off the van next. One was fat with orange hair, green eyes and freckles that covered his face. He had on a dark gray shirt that his stomach stuck out of at the bottom, along with swim trunks and floaties on his arms. The other boy was as skinny as a twig with curly brown hair and large glasses. He had on a blue and white-striped shirt, brown shorts, and suntan lotion on his face and arms. Marco grinned as he saw his two best friends run towards him.
"Ferguson! Alfonzo!" Marco exclaimed. They all jumped up in the air to give each other an awesome high-five, but they all ended up missing and falling on the ground.
"Smooth. Real smooth," Marco grunted.
"You see? I told you we should've rehearsed that!" Ferguson said, struggling to get up.
"We'll rehearse it while we're on the trip," Alfonzo chimed in, grabbing Ferguson's arms to help him up. Ferguson slipped and Alfonzo fell again, his hands too greasy from the suntan lotion to grab anything.
Marco began to get up when he heard a familiar voice in front of him. "You okay, Marco?" As he looked up, he froze in place, unable to breathe.
A girl stood over Marco, staring at him with aqua-colored eyes. She was wearing a green tank top with cut-off jean shorts. Her platinum hair with a streak of mint shined nicely in the sun. She looked confusingly at Marco, giving her his hand.
"Ja... Ja... Jackie... Ly...," Marco stuttered, taking her hand as she helped him stand up.
"Are you trying to say Jackie Lynn Thomas?" Jackie asked, confused at Marco's behavior. He nodded, looking both terrified and entranced.
"Ex... excuse me," Marco coughed out, walking anxiously towards his parents.
"Why did you invite her?!" Marco whispered, looking like he just went through a traumatic experience.
Marco's dad smiled, "Because I wanted to invite all of your friends, hijo. Also," he then leaned towards his son, grinning and giving him a wink. "beaches are very romantic, if you get my drift."
"Da...dad!" Marco exclaimed in surprise. Both of his parents chuckled, amused by their Son's reaction.
Marco walked back towards the group, finding Star giving everyone a hug and saying how excited she was.
Heh, how cute, Marco thought to himself. He then wondered what caused him to think something like that. He shrugged his shoulders and walked over.
As everyone was chatting away, they were interrupted by a terrible sound coming from inside the van. Everyone except Star jumped back and covered their ears. Star squealed in delight, knowing that sound from anywhere.
A tall boy with long brown hair covering his blue-green eyes walked out. He was wearing a brown T-shirt, a red neckerchief, and torn gray jeans. A light blue keytar rested in his arms, his fingers pressing random keys that created "music".
Star jumped up and down, continuing to squeal. "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! It's Oskar!"
"'Sup?" Oskar said nonchalantly. Star looked dreamily at him, showing a dopey smile.
Marco rolled his eyes. He just didn't like Oskar Greason. He couldn't pinpoint what exactly triggered his dislike for him. He thought it was because of his terrible keytar-playing, but he never had a problem with it before. He started to not like him a few months ago. It always confused Marco, and he wondered what caused it.
I guess I'll never know, Marco thought to himself.
As Star gawked over Oscar, other kids were coming out of the van. One was a boy with a heavy build and blond hair.
"Yeah! Let's kick it!" Justin screamed in excitement, rising his arms up. He high-fived with Alfonzo, who held back tears from the pain of Justin's strong hand on his weak one.
A shy-looking girl with short auburn hair and light green eyes walked off next. She was wearing a light blue T-shirt and blue jeans.
"Hey guys," Sabrina said shyly. Everybody waved at her. Oskar just nodded his head and continued to play his keytar.
Ferguson walked over to Sabrina, a confident smile on his face. He leaned on the van, trying his best to look cool. Wearing floaties on his arms did kind of hurt his image.
"Hey, beautiful. Where have you been my entire life?" Ferguson flirted.
Sabrina looked at him, feeling a little uncomfortable. "Oh, um... I don't know? I was just in the van..."
"Oh, well... ok, then," Ferguson said, not sure how to move the conversation forward. "Good day to you," he finally said after a few seconds of uncomfortable silence, walking away quickly.
Rafael Diaz then clapped his hands to get everybody's attention. "Ok, amigos. Are you guys ready?"
Everyone cheered in unison, "YEAH!"
The two parents looked at each other and smiled. "Ok. Then let's go!"
