Marco held Star's hand and tried to pull her back.
"Marco let go!" said Star, "You'll get pulled in too!"
"I'm not letting go!" said Marco.
"Neither am I!" said Jackie as he pulled him back with help from Janna.
Soon the portal closed.
"You ok?" asked Marco.
"Yeah, thanks to you," said Star.
He went to Jackie.
"Are you ok?" asked Marco.
"Yeah," said Jackie, "This is the best dance I've been to."
Star had tears in her eyes.
"I'm…. just gonna go home now," she said with her voice breaking up.
"Me too," said Marco, "But….."
He turned to Star who was clearly upset about what has happened.
"I think…. Someone needs my attention," said Marco, "Someone who I should've been paying attention to this whole time."
Star was crying about the spell book, but was concerned about something equally as important.
"I think…. I think I like Star," said Marco, "I always have ever since she came back into my life."
He didn't know that Star was listening.
Jackie smiled knowing that Marco made a courageous decision.
"Well its about time you realized that," said Jackie as she smiled.
"Wait… you mean you're ok with it?" asked Marco.
"Of course I'm ok with it," said Jackie, "I was just testing you to see if you would make the right decision, and you did."
Marco smiled.
"You're trying to tell me that your heart is telling you that you have feelings for Star, and if I liked you, I'd understand that," said Jackie, "And if I had any sense I wouldn't interfere with that."
Marco smiled.
"Go get her tiger," said Jackie as she gave him a hug.
He went to comfort Star.
"Star…." Said Marco.
Star turned to see Marco.
"Marco," said Star surprised, "How come you're not with Jackie?"
"We…. Things didn't really work out," said Marco.
"I'm sorry," said Star.
"No I'm sorry," said Marco, "I should've been there for you," said Marco.
They hugged.
"I promise I'll do whatever I can to get your book back," said Marco, "No matter what it takes."
"Thank you," said Star drying up her tears, "No wonder why we're best friends."
"Star… tonight made me realize something," said Marco.
"What is it?" asked Star.
"Well….." said Marco struggling, "I… I lu…. I luuuuhhh…. I…."
Star interrupted him with a kiss.
The kiss lasted for a while.
"Let's get outta here," said Jackie.
"You said it," said Janna.
"I know what you're trying to say Marco," said Star, "I love you too. I always have."
They hugged.
"Shall we go home my princess," said Marco.
"Yes," said Star.
They walked back home holding hands.
