Should have put this in the last chapter but I just want to say I don't own SVTFOE or anything related to it. Enjoy!
Star held Marcos dead, lifeless body in her arms. She was sobbing, not noticing any of the sirens or voices around her. She had gotten too cocky and arrogant. She had been too distracted. She should've been dead instead of Marco, but she wasn't, he was. He had shoved her out of the way just in time and Spikeballs had smacked him across the yard. He now lay lifeless in her arms, never to return to her. As she cried the world faded around them, they became suspended in space. But Star didn't notice, she just continued to cry. Suddenly Marcos eyes opened, they glowed bright white.
"Star Butterfly, I'm coming for you."
Star jolted awake in a cold sweat. She looked around her, panicking. "MARCOOO!" she screamed, then broke into tears. Marco came running to her door.
"Star, what's wrong?" then stopped when he saw her crying and went to her bedside. She leapt at him and engulfed him in hug. He stepped back in surprise but returned her hug and sat on the bed with her. His parents arrived at the door and saw them.
"Star, what's wrong?" said Mrs Diaz. But Marco held up his hand, signalling for them to be quiet.
"Okay then, we'll leave you two." Said Mr Diaz who had seen Star crying.
"What happened?" Said Marco as he stroked her hair
"I...I had a nightmare." She said between sobs
"OK, and do you want to tell me what happened?" he said "but if you don't want to you don't have to."
"W...well we were fighting m...monsters and I got distracted and they nearly got me, b...b...but you...you...you pushed me out of the way and... and..."
"I died?"
"Yes! You died and it was all my fault!" she screamed, then she burst into tears again, crying onto his shoulder.
"There there star, its fine. I'm not dead, see." He said, lifting her chin up so she could see him "It was just a dream."
"Okay, but can you stay here. Please?"
Marco hesitated, a little surprised by her saying that. But upon seeing her tear covered face he chose to stay. "Okay I'll stay"
"Thanks Marco"
They settled down on her bed, Star snuggled up to Marco still hugging him. Marco kissed her on the forehead and stretched to get get comfy. Then they fell asleep side by side.
