After Star and Marco broke the curse, they thought that things will be normal again between them, but not for Star. Meanwhile they were leaving the underworld along with Tom and Janna, she stayed behind them looking at Marco's back and wondering how she can remember the dance we had on their memory and not Marco. She was deeping in thought that the tears she was holding started to roll her cheeks. It felt like a second rejection by her best friend, thinking of how that word hurt. And that's when it hit her.
Star:-whispering-I love you Marco
As she thought, her feelings for Marco were real and not because of the curse. But she realised that things won't be simple for her, finding about that Marco started dating Kelly.
Two weeks later
Star couldn't sleep all nights thinking about how would look at Marco in the face and pretend that everything was okay between them but for her it was not.
On the dinning room
Star: Good Morning, everyone
Eclipsa: Morning dear. How did you sleep?
Star: Not so well. Did you see Marco?
Eclipsa: Yes, he said he would be visit a friend, named Kelly.
Star: Oh! Okay.
Eclipsa: What is the matter, dear?
Star: It's just everything feels different for me. I thought that breaking the curse I would forget about my feelings for Marco, but I guess, it didn't work.
Eclipsa: For what I know the curse doesn't make people fall in love. It's a soulmate thing. The blood moon choose two lucky souls binding them for eternity. The curse only seales something that was already there. To make a bound stronger.
Star: So I guess I was right that my feelings weren't because of the curse.
Eclipsa: So, why did you think that your feelings were because of the curse?
Star: Because Tom made us believe that. A year ago, Tom invited me to The Blood Moon Ball, but what I didn't know that my soul was bounded with Marco's because I thought that it was a fun party light. And I also found out that Tom wanted to bind our souls. But the amazing part was when I danced with Marco and how impressed I was with his moves. But now it's all ruined. All because Tom made us believe that. What can I do Eclipsa?
Eclipsa: -hugging Star-I don't know dear. But things will work out.
Star: -sobbing-How?
Eclipsa: What about Marco?
Star:-confused-What do you mean?
Eclipsa: Do you think Marco would forget about his feelings for you?
Star: How did you know?
Eclipsa: He told me Star. He asked me if I had a spell to get rid of his feelings.
Star: He what? Why?
Eclipsa: Because that day he came to me concerned with the bowl of cereal which had two cereals and told me that the way you put them in there for him what's adorable and he told me that he wanted to get rid of his feelings because they hurt everytime when he sees you doing something that for him seems adorable. And also he told me that he couldn't like someone else if he felt something for you.
Star: So, that's why Marco was trying to get over me because he was hurting all this time. And he really had feelings for me and not because of the moon. He felt the same way as I do. And like an idiot, I didn't realise that my best friend was hurting.
Eclipsa: I think you should talk to him.
Star: What's the point? He really moved on. There's nothing I can do about it. And now he likes someone else. I will try to support him.
Eclipsa: But dear, that won't be good for you seeing him with someone else. But if it's your decision, I will respect it. But can I ask you something?
Star: What is it?
Eclipsa: Why did you start dating Tom again?
Star: Well last year back on Earth I tried to help to Marco to get together with her ex-girlfriend, he had a crush on her since kindergarden, but one day our school had a dance, Marco asked me to go to the dance with him, I was happy but when after I went to talk to my friend Janna, he was happy and told me that Jackie asked him to the dance, I saw how excited he was so I decided to not to go but that day I felt something, like jealousy when I saw them together going to the dance and that's when I realised that I had feelings for him. At first I was confused but when he started to date Jackie, my crush on him grew more, and the worst part when we went me, Marco and Jackie to a concert, they kissed in front of me, and it was the most painful moment in my life so I decided to leave the concert, but Marco as always asked if I was okay, I had to lie and push away. Then the Song Day arrived, it was the most embarrasing moment in my life because Ruberiot revealed my crush on Marco and since that day everything was awkward between us. So after Song Day we had been avoiding each other so I was tired of that awkwardness I decided to talk to Marco, but when he asked me if it was true I had crush on him, I lied. But when everything was fixed between us, my mom arrived to Earth and told I had to leave Earth because Mewni was in danger and Toffee had returned, so I decided to tell Marco once for all my feelings because I thought I wouldn't came back to Earth and when I confessed to him, he didn't say anything so I came back to Mewni. When Marco came for me I was happy to see him again, but after Toffee was defeated Marco had to leave back to Earth I was so devastated because he didn't bring it up what happened at that party. So after few days pass I found out that Tom was making a demoncism so since that moment I gave him a second chance to fill that whole that Marco left in my heart because I thought I would never see him again. And when Marco came back to Mewni I was mad at him because he came after he broke my heart and didn't reciprocate my feelings. But when we tried to take a best friend photos with him, and noticed that something was off, and when I asked him what was going on with him, he told me that everything has been different after my confession, and in that moment I realised that Marco had a crush on me but I didn't give him a responce and the worst part was that we kissed because the only way to get out of the booth it was taking the perfect photo. When we broke the kiss we both were shocked well mostly me, because that those feelings I thought went away came back and since that day we hadn't talk about it, and everytime we hang out my feelings grew stronger and the worst moment was when I saw Marco without his soul and in that moment I realised how important was to me and I didn't want to lose him. When his soul was back I was so happy. But of course problems came, my priority was to find my mom, as always Marco was supportive and then the day I went to the Underworld with Tom I found out that Tom's mom was upset with me because he knew about the kiss between Marco and me, and when he asked why I didn't tell him, he got upset and like always I run away from the topic, then he asked me if the kiss meant anything to me I didn't answer.
Eclipsa: So that means that kiss meant something, right?
Star:-blushing-yes. But please don't tell anyone this, especially Marco.
Eclipsa: Okay. My lips are sealed. But why didn't tell Tom about the kiss?
Star: Because I didn't want to break up with him and also I didn't want to hurt his feelings.
Eclipsa: But you realised who was the most hurt, was Marco. He felt rejected by you.
Star: I know. But it doesn't matter.
Eclipsa: But are you happy with Tom?
Star: I don't know anymore. This is so frustating.
Eclipsa: Don't worry everything will be fine.
Star: Thanks Eclipsa. I feel better now. Well I am going to my room. If you need anything, just tell me. See you.
Eclipsa: Bye dear.
Eclipsa's thoughts: Poor Star.
While Star was going to her room, she saw someone coming to the Temple laughing.
Star's thoughts: Who is it?
But for her surprised who were laughing was Marco and Kelly, but what her made more shocked was that they were holding hands.
Star's thoughts: So, is true that Marco move on from me, being with Kelly.
Marco noticed Star's presence who was looking at him shocked.
Marco: Oh, hi Star
Star: nodded and turn her back on them. Oh ,hey guys. Well I gotta go, bye.-
Marco:-confused- Bye?
Kelly: Bye Star.
Star turns her away and leaves but from the corner of his eye Marco saw Star's sad face, and he realised that she's been like that since the Severing Stone.
Kelly: Are you okay, Marco?
Marco: Yeah, I'm fine.-smiles-
But they didn't know that Eclipsa was watching the whole situation and realised that Marco was faking it.
Eclipsa's thoughts: I know Marco, you're faking it and I'm 100 that you have feelings for Star too. But for now we will see how things will play out.
Marco noticed Eclipsa's presence.
Marco: Oh, hi Eclipsa. This is my girlfriend, Kelly.
Eclipsa: Hi, dear. Nice to meet you.
Kelly: Hi, Eclipsa.
Marco: Eclipsa, do you know what's going on with Star?
Eclipsa: -nervous-I don't know.
Marco: Are you sure? Because she always talks to you. I'm worried about her. She's been since-whispering-since the curse broke.
Eclipsa: She's upset.
Marco: Why?
Eclipsa: I can't tell you. But she'll be fine.
Marco: Okay.
But little they didn't know that Star was hearing the conversation and the worst part that she found out that Kelly is his girlfriend.
Star's thoughts: So, I know that's why he wanted to get over me. He likes Kelly and it's all ruined because Tom made us believe that we had feelings because of the curse. And now I will have to handle seeing him with her.
Star: -whispering-I'm an idiot and the worst part is that I hurt my best friend. -sobbing-I'm so sorry Marco.-put her head on her knees and cries-
Little she didn't know that her crying was loud and everyone heard it, especially Marco.
Marco went to where the crying was and found Star sitting on the ground.
Marco: Star?
Star: -turns around and look at him- oh hey Marco.-looks away-
Marco: Star, what's wrong? Why are you crying?
Star: Nothing, I'm fine.-wipes her tears away- I'm going to my room.
Marco: Star, tell me the truth. You have been down and sad since the severing stone.
Star:-I'm sorry Marco. But I can't tell you. So bye.
Marco:-Is this my fault? Did I do something wrong? Please tell me.
Star: I would love to, but I can't. It would make things more awkward than already were.
Marco:-confused-What do you mean?
Star: Marco, please can you leave the topic, I don't want to talk about it.
Marco: Is this about what Tom told us?
Star: I--
Marco:-grabs her hand-Please tell me Star. I'm your best friend.
Star: Really? When was the last time we hang out? It's like you've been avoiding me. It's like we are strangers, we don't talk like we used to, you hang out with Kelly everytime. And the worst part I found out that you are dating Kelly, and you didn't even tell me. We were supposed to be friends, friends tell each others secrets. Don't you think this is not hard for me, Marco? Well it is.
Marco:- What are you talking about? Of course we're friends.
Star: Are we, Marco? Don't you think I found out why you wanted break the curse?
Marco: How did you know?
Star: It doesn't matter Marco. I hope you're happy. Please leave me alone.
Marco: -head low-Okay, well see you.
Star:-sobbing-Yeah, see you. I'm sorry Marco, I wish I could tell you how-whispering- much I love you. But it's too late. I'm an idiot-starts crying-
Marco sits next to Star and hugs her and rubs her back to calm her down.
When he noticed that Star calm down, he sees that she was sleeping.
Marco's thoughts: She looks cute when she sleeps. Why I can't get you out of my mind? I guess the Severing Stone didn't work. What if you were right about that it was never the Blood Moon? Does it mean that how we feel is real? That you love me as much as I do? So, did you pretend that you didn't remember about the Blood Moon Ball?
Star:-sleeping-Marco...please don't leave ...I l-l-ove you.
Marco: -blushing-
Marco'thoughts: It be better that I took her to her room, she must be tired after she cried.
Marco took Star in his arms in bridal style and put her in her bed, he covers her with a blanket.
Marco:-kiss her forehead- Rest well
Marco goes to his room as you know is connected with Star's and close the door.
Marco:-whispering-Why do you have you be adorable? Now I don't know what to do. I thought breaking the curse I would stop thinking about you. But I have to pretend that everything is normal, besides she's with Tom and I'm with Kelly. We'll see how things play out. I hope tomorrow she feels better, I hate seeing her like this. I will talk later to her. After a lot of thinking, he drifts to sleep.
On Star's room
Star:-waking up- Mh? Why I am in my bed? Who took me here? And what is this sensation that I feel on my forehead-touches her forehead and realises that it is still warm-Who kissed me? The only person who did it was...-realises-Marco! But how?
And then a flashback came to her and realises that she felt to sleep after she cried and she felt someone hugging her.
Star: So, it was Marco. -smiles-After all he still cares about me, head down-of course as his best friend nothing more. And all this happened because of me if I talked to him before and realised that he was feeling rejected and handle seeing me with Tom since he csme back.-sees a laser puppy and catchs it-why is love so complicated?
