After the events of Conquer, Star realised that she couldn't loose Marco again and that her feelings for him were stronger than ever. So she decided to talk to Tom first and after she will talk to Marco.
Star's Pov:
In Star's room:
(Star's thoughts): I can't believe that I had almost lost Marco, and how dumb I was all this time to realise that how important he's to me, and I wouldn't imagine my life without him. He was always there for me and care about me on Earth and now on Mewni, even it was hard for him to see me with Tom and when it was hard for me to see Marco with Jackie. But when Marco left I was in pain noticing that maybe I may had never seen him again, so then I decided to give Tom a chance. But when Marco came back to Mewni again something felt different, it looked like that my feelings came back and I always wanted him to be by my side even I made him my squire. But was stupid make him my squire only to prevent to get hurt again? But it looked like that he took very seriously this job, like when I slept portatling he helped me and when I got stuck on the Magic dimension he saved my life talking through The All Seeing Eye. And after that, he always was there to help me. Until the events of the photo booth, when he confessed that things were different between us, and I just tried to take a friend's pictures. And then the kiss happened. In that moment I didn't realise that Marco was kissing me and immediatly I closed my eyes and I kissed him back without thinking. But when we opened our eyes, we looked at each other confused. And from that day, I wondered if I wanted that, knowing that I am dating Tom. But I'm not sure if Marco felt something when we kissed, but for me was a little strange that I kissed my best friend. But since that day, we never talked about it. But when we found out that Meteora was taking souls from the people of Mewni, he offered to risk his life for me against Meteora meanwhile I would go to find my mom. And when I saw how determinated he was, I looked at him and started to blush in front of him and then I walked away to hide it but Marco saw how upset I was and he offered me a hug, but that hug felt different than the others we shared. It was a hug of protection, it was like he didn't want to let me go and maybe I wanted the same thing. I wanted that hug last forever. But the chef interrupted us and we pretended that it wasn't important and then we looked at each other and blushed.
When Mamfred told me that he was back I got excited thinking that nothing bad happened to him, but when I saw Tom instead of Marco, my face changed and then I saw that Tom was holding a balloon and it turned out that Meteora had taken Marco's soul and he got ballonified, and in that moment I was heartbroken and terrified seeing Marco like that. So I decided to take him to the temple where the High Commission was revived but my mission failed. So I lost hope on reviving Marco. After, I went to the castle to fight Meteora and defeat her to bring Marco back. But my mission failed again. Then, it was when Eclipsa took my wand and she confroted her daughter and saved my life. Then, everyone's soul were turning back and I saw that Marco's body was starting to fall and I run to catch him. And when I saw that Marco wasn't responding I started to feel sad and hearbroken, but when he opened his eyes, immediatly I was happy and started to cry and hugged him so tight, like I didn't want to let him go again. After we broke the hug, we stayed there looking at each other and inches apart from kissing. In that moment, I thought, did I want to kiss him? Did he want the same?
Do I love him? But Tom came to hug us and ruined the moment. So I think I need to talk to Tom.
Tom Pov:
In The Underworld:
I can't believe that I almost lost my best friend and he sacrificed his life for me after he confessed that he kissed Star. That was so cool of him. But why did he kiss Star? Does he have feelings for her? What did Star do when he kissed her? Or maybe he lied to protect Star? Did she feel guilty? Or does she have feelings for him too? But when I saw how happy Star was when Marco got back his soul, she smiled and hugged him. And then I saw the way they were looking at each other and I realised that maybe they have feelings for each other and she didn't look me like she looks at Marco. Maybe I think she sees me as her friend and Marco is something more than a friend to her. I should talk to Marco, to ask him how does he feel about Star and then talk to Star abd tell her how I feel.
Marco Pov:
In Marco's room:
I can't believe that I told Tom I kissed Star, but maybe it was right because he deserved to know the truth and also I felt really guilty about it. And I remember when I kissed Star, she immediatly kissed me back, but why? Does she still have a crush on me? Why did she started dating Tom after I come back from Earth? Is it because she knew I was with Jackie and she wanted to get over me? And when she returned me my hoodie why it smelt like Star? And how long has she had a crush on me? And how long I had a crush on her? And why did she lie to me when I asked her if she had a crush on me? Is was because she wanted me to be happy? Of course, I had a long crush on Jackie first, but since the Blood Moon Ball I felt more close to Star, I always was there for her and look out for her.
But when the Song Day happened Ruberiot revealed that Star had a crush on me, and I was surprised, I never thought that my best friend would feel that way about me and I only saw her as just a friend. But maybe I was so blind to see it? How could I never saw the way she looks at me, with a sweet smile and her hugs are so sweet and warm, I always felt safe and happy with her by my side. I would never realised that I had feelings for her if it wasn't for Tad. First I didn't want to admit it, but when I saw her kissing Tom at the beach, I realised that I was too late, that she was alredy taken and I felt my heart breaking in pieces. So, I decided to hide my feelings and not saying anything to her. But before she would got stuck on the Realm Magic, she said that I was her lifeline. And since that day she has been involved me in her life more and she became more closer to me like we were before. And why did she blush when he looked at me before the hug? And when we shared the hug, it felt like a hug of protection, it was like I didn't want to let her go. I need to talk to Star. But what about Tom?
After a lot of thinking the three friends decided talk to each other and solve their problems.
At the Mewni Castle:
After the battle, Mewni was recovering from the destruction and Star as an acting queen, she was helping to reconstruction of Mewni. But she has another problems to solve like talking to Tom and Marco. But she was still worried about where her mom was. So Star called Tom to talk.
Star and Tom pov
On the phone:
Star: Hi Tom, we need to talk.
Tom: What about?
Star: About us?
Tom: What do you mean?
Star: Meet me at the woods so we can talk.
Tom: Okay. Bye
Tom Pov:
After the call, Tom was confused. What did Star want to talk about? Did she want to break up with him? Who knows?
At the woods:
Star: Hi Tom
Tom: Hi Starship.
Star: I want to tell you something.
Tom: Okay, what is it? Is about the kiss with Marco?
Star: How do you know?
Tom: Marco told me before sacrificing himself. At first I didn't believe him, but when he got trap by Meteora he said that he really kissed you, and he had a face of guilt.
Star: Oh! I'm sorry, Tom. I wish it never happened. But it was the only way to get us out of the booth. Taking the perfect photo. And he told me that things were different, especially for him. Of course, after I confessed to him that I had a crush on him in front of her girlfriend back on Earth. I told him that because I thought I would never see him again after I left Earth and he deserved to know how I felt.
Tom: Oh! So, in that moment did he give you an answer?
Star: No, he frozed up. And he stood there without saying anything and then I run upstairs crying, without telling him why I was leaving, if I had told him the reason, he would have followed me, but I didn't want to loose him again and keep him safe.
Tom: Again?
Star: Yeah. The first time was when Toffee captured him, and the only way to save him it was to give up my wand. So, I decided to destroyed it for him.
Tom: Why did you do it?
Star: Maybe because I realised that how important he was to me, and couldn't loose him.
Tom: That's awsome.
Star: Yeah, and since then I felt more close to him.
Tom: And when did you realise that you had feelings for him?
Star: The day that Marco went to the school dance with Jackie. In that moment I got a little jealous. But after I called him 51 times, I gave up and I used the All Seeing Eye to spy on him, and I saw that they weren't at the dance, they were on a date, and that's when I felt upset and jealous shooting a green spell on the skateboard and made them fall. And then my crush on Marco grew up more and more, I decided to keep it to myself and let Marco be happy. Even if that had caused me pain.
Tom: Wow! But did Marco notice that?
Star: No. He was so focused on Jackie. But then the Love Sentence's concert happened. I was having fun with them and then while I was singing I didn't notice that people were kissing and then I saw Marco and Jackie kissing, in that moment my heart broke in pieces. So I decided to stand up and leave the concert, because I couldn't watch them kiss. But Marco asked me if I was okay, I told him yes, but with a forced smiled to prevent that Marco saw me upset. Then my secret about mycrush on him came out on the Song Day, thanks to Ruberiot. And that made our friendship awkward. Since that day we had been avoiding to each other. But I decided to talk to him, but when he asked me if the secret was true I told him no, because I thought that maybe he wouldn't feel the same way and I didn't want to ruin our frienship because of my feelings.
Tom: So, you told him about how you felt but he didn't give you an answer.
Star: Yeah, but when he saved me from the dungeon, I got excited to see him again, but he didn't bring the confession up never again. He was only worried about me. But the way he acted when he hugged me was different, it was a hug of happiness and care. But when he had to back to Earth, we shared an emotional hug. In that moment, it felt like I didn't want him to go, I wanted him to stay with me but he had a life on Earth and girlfriend so I let him go. When the portal closed I was sad and rejected because he didn't say anything about my confession.
Tom: So, when he came back to Mewni, you got confused?
Star: Yeah. First I didn't expect to see him again. But when he told me that Jackie broke up with him, I felt sorry for him, but inside I was kinda happy, but I didn't say anything because I started dating you. So I made him my squire so we could hang out as a friends again.
Tom: And he accepted!
Star: Yes. And as the times went on, I felt like my feelings for him were coming back again.
Tom: And do you still have feelings for him?
Star: Maybe, I don't know. But when the kissed happened on the photo booth something felt different.
Tom: Different how?
Star: It was like feelings were there. But both got confused, especially me. Because I didn't want to happen. Knowing that I was with you. I hope you're not mad
Tom: I'm not mad, but I am little upset that you didn't tell me that you kissed Marco.
Star: I know. But when I saw Marco balloonified I realised how important he is to me. That I can't imagine my life without my bestie.
Tom: So, that proves that you still have a crush on him?
Star: Maybe.
Tom: C'mon Star, be honest. Do you like him as a more than a friend? Do you care a lot about him?
Star: Yes. Of course I care a lot about him. He's my best friend.
Tom: What do you think that means when someone cares a lot about each other? Do you just call him friend? Or more? What do you call that? Like? Or maybe Love?
Then after Star listened to his questions, she was wondering if she really likes him or love him. Of course, they were teenagers to say those words. But her connection with Marco was so especial since the Blood Moon Ball. And she decided to ask him about the blood moon.
Star: Tom, can you explain me what does it mean when two souls are bonded for eternity.
Tom: Well, it means that when the light of the Blood Moon touched you, it made you developed feelings for each other and that you were meant to be since that day. Even you both didn't notice it.
Star: Really? That's incredible!
Tom: So, know how you feel about him? Do you love him? Or not?
Star: Yes, I love him with all my heart, he's really important to me. She blushes.
Tom: Then, why don't you tell him how you really feel?
Star: I will, but I'm not sure if he feels the same.
Tom: I am sure he does. You know why?
Star: Why?
Tom: Because I saw how he cares about you.
Star: Really?
Tom: Yeah!
Star: But what about you?
Tom: I like you and I care about you, but I think we will better if we are friends. I can't be with someone that loves someone else.
Star: I'm sorry, Tom.
Tom: It's okay, I'll be fine. I want you to be happy. Your happiness is the only thing that matters to me.
Star: Thank you for understanding me.
Tom: You're welcome. Then what are you waiting for? Go tell him how you feel!
Star: I will. Bye Tom. She said with a sweet smile.
Meanwhile Tom was seeing Star walking away with a sad face but at the same time he was happy for her.
Meanwhile in Marco's room, he was thinking about his friendship with Tom. He didn't want to ruin because of his feelings for Star. So he decided to call Tom and explain the situation.
On the phone:
Marco: Hi, Tom.
Tom: Hi, Marco.
Marco: So I want to talk about me and Star.
Tom: I know, I just talked to her. She broke up with me
Marco: Really? I'm sorry buddie.
Tom: It's okay.
Marco: So that means can we still be friends?
Tom: Of course. I just want both to be happy.
Marco: Wow, you are taking this so well.
Tom: Yeah, at first I was upset but Star's happiness is the only thing that matters to me. Let me ask you something. Do you have feelings for her? Do you feel something more than like? Do you like her?,Or do you love her?
Marco: I-I
Tom: Marco?
Marco: I don't know. Of course I like her, but I'm not sure if I feel something more deep.
Tom: Be honest. I saw how much you care about her and the way you look at her. You are always there for her when she needs you.
Marco: I never thought about that. She always sacrificed things for me, like when she destroyed her wand to save me and her happiness for me. How I could be so blind? She did those things because she really cares about me. Does it mean she loves me?
Do I love her?
Tom: Well, you'll find out when you talk to her. Good luck, dude.
Marco: Thanks, Tom.
After Marco talked to Tom, he was lost on thoughts. Does he really love her? So, he needed to talk to Star.
At the Mewni Castle:
After Star breaking up with Tom, she was lost on thoughts. She was wondering if Marco loves her as she does love him? What if he doesn't? But she was 100 sure that she loves him. So she was confident to tell Marco how she really felt.
