Author Notes: Hey guys Kio here. So this is my fanfic ever, actually my first written story ever. I apologize in advanced for the grammatical errors I tried to get everything right, and also sorry if the characters aren't exactly true to themselves. I'm trying my best XD. Honestly i'm so excited about this I hope you guys like it.

Another thing the timing of the story is kinda weird. So I'm having this take place after the events of the first season. I will try to mention it but honestly my mind is so scattered with this story. I also might write about a couple of events that went on in some episodes such as Sleepover but for the most part I'm gonna wing it. Also later on I plan to have this story go past the events of BonBon, again I might reference it I might write about it im not sure.

Right now lets just focus on this part. Sorry for the long ass monologue IDK what to do for this part, again first story here. Now without further ado, here is my story.

I do not own Star Vs the Forces of Evil, or any of the characters except for the ones I make. You should definitely watch the show one of my favorites.

Marco looked at the locker right in front of him. It was just like his locker at school; in fact it was his school locker. It had the indent from where Marco leaned on it every morning waiting for Jackie Lynn Thomas. He reached for the combination lock but stopped.

"I forgot my combination:, he said to himself breaking into a cold sweat. He looked at the lock again only to see that it had disappeared. However, before he could question it the locker door flew open. Inside filling up the locker were purple hearts, much like the ones that Star grew during her Mewberty phase. He reached out to the hearts and before he could touch them they flew away. Then he saw himself. Another Marco was standing in his locker, dressed in a suit that looked really familiar. His double opened his eyes, scaring Marco and causing him to fall backwards. His double opened his mouth to speak and out came

Beep, Beep, Beep

"What?"

His double started walking out of the locker, staring at him.

Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep

Marco gasped as he opened his eyes. It took him a full five seconds to realize that it had just been a dream, and that the beeping was coming from his alarm clock. He turned the alarm off and sighed. Rubbing the sweat from his forehead he thought about his dream. It wasn't the first time he had had that dream. Always the same, he woke up not knowing where he was. He would find a rabid star chewing on a belt, and then he would find another Marco in his locker filled with purple hearts. Usually the dream continued to his friends flying away with red balloons before he had a chance to fly to them a red moon appeared.

He didn't know what the dream meant, or why he kept having it. Maybe it was stress getting to him; but he didn't really have anything to stress about, except for his roommate. Princess Star Butterfly, next in line to be queen of her home dimension, Mewni, was somewhat of a wildchild. She was sent to Earth after burning down the royal castle. Her parents thought that it would be safer for Star to learn magic on Earth where monsters wouldn't attack her. Also the fact that someone else's property was getting destroyed was a plus.

Unfortunately their plan didn't work out. During her move a monster tracked her to Earth, after reporting to his boss, a short vulture like monster named Ludo, Star and Marco were often payed a visit by unwelcomed guests. But thanks to Stars magic wand, a family heirloom that Ludo has his sights on, and Marco's karate skills they were easily able to defeat the uncoordinated monsters. The fact that she was in constant danger from attacks, and that she often traveled to dangerous dimensions, caused Marco to worry about her. After she had settled into his house, and after destroying his room, and restoring it a portal had opened up in his room.

The only other time he had seen a portal was when Ludo and his monsters had left after getting their butts kicked. So as the portal opened he swore to himself and prepared for a fight. Instead of a monster crawling through an armed guard dressed in full battle armor and holding a staff walked through. The man said nothing as he checked Marco's room making sure that all was clear. He remained silent as he walked over to the door and closed it. Only then did he look at Marco, he cleared his throat.

"His highness, King Butterfly requests a conference with you." Before Marco could even think about a reply a short man, about 5. 2' walked through the portal. The first thing that Marco noticed about the man, and it wasn't just because the knight had announced it, was the fact that the man looked regal. He was wearing a light blue shirt, which was adorned by a cape. While the man was short he looked sturdy, almost as if a truck could hit him and he wouldn't budge an inch. Two other things caught his attention. The first was the silver staff the man held. Reaching a good two feet above the man it was a simple silver staff, with a small sapphire on the bottom. On the top was stone, too blue to be saphire, Marco determined. It was in the shape of a crescent moon, with a small star attached to the middle of it. The other thing that Marco noticed was the crown resting on top of the man's head. If anything else about his outfit didn't scream royalty the crown certainly did,

Not sure as to what to do Marco just stood there in silence as the man surveyed his surroundings. His gaze rested on Marco's laptop for a second before focusing in on the poster of Marco's favorite movie Hands of Karate. The man moved across the room and sat on Marco's bed.

Once he had settled down King Butterfly looked at the shocked boy. 'Better get on with this' the king thought.

"I am sure you are wondering who I am and why I am here?" The boy just nodded, unable to fully speak yet. "You have no doubt met my daughter Star,"

"Wait you are Stars dad?" Marco asked recovering his ability to speak. That would explain the royal look of the man in front of him. Marco sat down at his desk turning the chair to face the king. He felt as if he was in an important meeting, he probably was i mean why else would a king travel across dimensions just to talk to him? For a split second Marco wondered if he had done something wrong to warrant this visit; but he quickly dismissed it. If the king was here to arrest him he would have surely done so by now.

"Yes I am. As to why I am here, I have a favor to ask of you." Marco straighten up curiosity rising in him. What favor would a king need him for. Certainly he had hundreds of servants he could order to do whatever he wanted to.

"I need you to look after Star. She needs a guide while she is here on Earth, and she needs someone to protect her."

Marco blinked, "wait wait wait. How am I going to protect her? Wouldn't she be better off with an armed guard, I mean I'm just one kid."

The king smiled, "I have seen what you can do. I figured there would be those who would want to take Star's wand, thinking that a teenage girl would be no match for them. That's why I sent a scout to make sure that she was safe and after that battle i knew that she was. You may be one boy, and while your fighting skills may not be the greatest, you are brave and I see that you care about her."

Again Marco blinked, he realized that he did care about Star, while he may have just met her he felt a need to protect her. She seemed innocent, and she had worked so hard to make him feel better after destroying his room. But he had also never been called brave. He had never had a chance to prove himself and he recognized the fact that the king was giving him that chance, albeit it was for the king's gain as much as Marco's. The stocky man continued.

"Now I am well aware of the danger that you may face and the trouble that Star can cause so I am willing to pay you for her protection." Immediately Marco started objecting, despite the dangers that her presence may cause, Marco was going to protect Star because he wanted to, not because he was being paid to.

The man stopped him before Marco could protest too much. "It is very honorable of you boy, but unnecessary. You will be reimbursed for your troubles in any way that you wish. What is it that you want? Gold, land, a knightship, or perhaps a servant? We can get anyone that you like you are of that age so if you so wish we would give you your own concubines…"

"Whoa whoa t-that… won't, heh, be n-necessary," Marco stammered out, sweating nervously. He was fourteen and while he had been having those thoughts and those urges, the thought of having a slave to… satisfy him as the king said was unthinkable.

"Alright then," the king smiled at the boys honorability. Not many would pass up the chance for riches or a knighthood. The king knew that the boy could be trusted, and while he wished to have an entire army to protect his daughter, he knew that they must remain subtle and not draw too much attention to themselves. The royal family had more dangerous enemies that that gang of infants Marco and Star had faced earlier.

The king got up off the bed signaling to the guard to open the portal. "You may not want anything right now but the offer still stands. If you wish for anything that we can give you then do not hesitate to ask. I will leave you now, I have many kingly things to do." The king walked towards the portal and had a whole leg in before he turned around.

"One more thing, Marco," he said using the boy's name for the first time. "I wish to thank you for taking on this duty of protecting Star. Not many would willingly house her knowing what they were to be up against. With that being said I have another request." The man's voice changed, becoming more serious and grave.

"Please do not fail. She is our only daughter and the most important person in our lives. Make sure she is safe." With that the king gave Marco a sad smile and disappeared through the portal. The guard followed him, leaving Marco alone to digest what had just happened.

Beep, Beep, Beep

Marco was jostled from his flashback by his secondary alarm. Cursing to himself he jumped out of bed to prepare for the day. He had to get to school early so he could do his daily routine of seeing Jackie every morning.
