Authors Notes

Wow, just wow... You guys (and girls) are amazing! I was not expecting this much positive feed back! Thank you so much to everyone who reviewed, follows, and or favorites my story! I would also like to apologize for the long wait (i went camping just after i posted the story) hopefully updates won't be so far apart and i will tell you guys if I'm going on hiatus or something in the future. Anyways back now to the story, this chapter was a bit hard to right due to the chase scene. In the original it took up 90% of the story so i had to fix that, and it was a lot more violent, so i cut back on that as well. Other then that this chapter was a joy to write and i hope you enjoy!

-First Day Follies-

To say that the Diaz's house hold was in chaos would be an understatement. Star and Marco had slammed into one another in the rush to get downstairs, Mr Diaz while making last minute checkups on the vehicles had set off the car alarm and Mrs Diaz while in a daze had accidentally set fire to breakfast. So there they were, Star and Marco lying on the floor, alarms blaring and smoke filling the kitchen as the parents rushed to fix their mistakes. As it seemed the Diaz family road trip was not going as planed...

"Ugh what happened?" Marco sat up rubbing his head

"I... I think we ran into each other." Star said laying face down on the floor.

It was then that Marco had tuned into the situation... "Why is the car alarm going?" Marco sniffs the air "And what's burning!"

Marco rushed down stairs to see billows of black smoke chocking out the clean air. "AHHHHHH!" Marco screamed Star came down beside him "Hey what's goi- AHHHHHHH!" they both stared at each other screaming pointing at the fire.

"OUT OF THE WAY!" Mrs Diaz screamed and pushed past them holding a fire extinguisher. She aimed and fired the device. Foam spewed forth snuffing out the blaze. Mrs Diaz went and opened the windows in an effort to clear out the smoke.

The car alarm finally stopped going and Mr Diaz came out of the garage.

"Hey guys crazy stor- what happened here?"

Mrs Diaz looked at her husband exhausted "Don't ask..."

The family sort of just sat there for a minute looking at each other, Mr Diaz spoke gesturing at Star and Marco "What happened to you two?"

"We ran into each other while running down the hall..." Marco explained.

Star laughed "I think you ran into me, I just stepped out into the hall."

There was a pause, then a giggle and slowly but surely everyone began laughing at their crazy morning.

"Breakfast on the road?" Mrs Diaz asked after calming down.

All three nodded excitedly.

About a half hour later after the mess had been cleaned up and the smoke cleared Star, Marco, Mr Diaz and Mrs Diaz all piled into the car.

"Alright, are we finally ready to go!" Mr Diaz said starting the car.

The answer was a quite relieved and unanimous "Yes!"

Pulling out of the driveway the small crew of now nomads took in the sight of their house one last time.

"Oooo this is going to be so great! Where are we going first, what are we doing?" Star said jumping up and down on the seat.

"Well I know that tonight we are going to be staying in the parking lot of the mountain inn." Marco answered "But first let's get some breakfast!"

The morning light had given way to the noon sun, our heroes are now stuck in traffic and finishing up the last of their breakfast.

"Ugh can't they go any faster?" Star asked Marco

Marco turned to her "Apparently not." He said irritated.

Star huffed and looked at the ocean of cars outside her window.

It was then and there that Mr Diaz had enough and he pulled out onto the small section between the lane and the edge of the road. He put his foot down and sped ahead of the competition.

"Wooooooo!" Star yelled ecstatically as they raced up the highway, head sticking out the window her blonde hair rippling in the wind.

Marco was not as amused though... "Dad what are doing? What if the police catch us? "

Mr Diaz was not convinced "Hahaha its ok son there are no police around!"

Just then to everyone's horror a siren went off.

Star looked at Marco in horror and then turned to Mr Diaz "FLOOR IT!"

Mr Diaz without thinking did just that. The two teens were slammed into the back of their seats as their speed suddenly increased. They raced up the side of the highway in a high speed chase. Things started to get worse as another police car joined in.

Star grabbed hold of Marcos shoulders and started to shake them violently "WHAT DO WE DO!"

"I DONT KNOW, BUT FLOORING IT IS PROBABLY NOT A GOOD IDEA!" Marco yelled back.

Soon they could see up a head another police car blocking the road. Star saw this and stuck her head out the window "MEGA RAINBOW RAMP!" And a rainbow coloured ramp appeared in front of them. They flew (plummeted) through the air and hit the ground with a thud. As they raced onward the three police cars started to gain on them.

Star was beginning to panic and she slipped into battle mode. Eyes ablaze with a righteous fury she stuck herself out the window and began to attack...

"NARWHAL BLAST!"

"MEGA MARSHMALLOW PULSE!"

"LEMON LIME LASER!"

Marco grew wide eyed "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WE WILL GO TO JAIL!"

Star continued to fire spells left right and centre nearly missing one of the police cars. Marco pulled Star into the car and wrapped his arms around her in an attempt to restrain her from blasting an officer.

"Marco! Let me go!" She cried valiantly trying to wriggle free.

"Star you can't narwhal blast an officer! I don't want to go to jail!" Marco retorted.

The car and trailer skidded to a stop when Mr Diaz saw yet another police car blocking his path. As the tire smoke was washed away with the wind one of the four cars slowly pulled up beside them. An officer stepped out and sauntered up to the window. Mr Diaz and Mrs Diaz (who was still a bit in shock from the previous events) gulped and awaited the impending fine and or jail time. Star had now stopped wriggling after coming to her senses and now the two clung together in fear of being put in the slammer.

"End of the line there Mr!" The police officer boasted.

Mr Diaz tensed in his seat.

"Uhhh your fine comes to..." The man stated while typing on a calculator.

"Twenty five dollars."

Everyone gasped, and then paused.

"W... What?" Mr Diaz asked very confused.

"Twenty five dollars, that's the fine for a broken tail light."

"Ok..." Mr Diaz left it at that (best not to bring up assault on an officer and such).

Mr Diaz paid the fine, got out of the car and went to fix the tail light.

"Ummm Star you can let go now." Marco said turning his attention to her.

"Oh, ya." She replied laughing nervously and blushing. They sat awkwardly for a while until Mr Diaz came back.

"Well, that uh... happened?" Mrs Diaz stated

"Yup." Marco replied.

"We should best get going." Mr Diaz said while pulling out into the now flowing traffic.

A couple of hours later...

Star and Marco gazed out the side window of the car as it winded higher and higher through the hills and up out of Echo Creek. The sun melted into the horizon, its orange glow bleeding into the twilit sky. They pulled over at a look out, the city sprawled out in front of them, its lights glittering into the evening. Star and Marco stepped out into the cooling air.

"Wow earth sure is beautiful." Star whispered longingly.

"Haha yea..."

"We don't have cities like this on Mewni." She said looking out on the vast sea of light.

"Well that may be true but you basically live in a fairy tale! You know how cool that is!" Marco replied.

"True, true." She said with a giggle and turned to Marco "But still, like wow." He looked at her smiling gently, both becoming lost in each other's eyes.

The two were broken from their little moment when Mr and Mrs Diaz came over from taking pictures of each other's quote unquote "Beautiness" in the evening light.

"Alright kids we should get going we don't want to be late for the check in at the inn!" Mrs Diaz explained.

They both glanced away from each other hint of redness creeping onto their faces.

"Ya that sounds like a good idea..." Marco said facing the ground, a tad embarrassed.

By the time they pulled into the inn parking lot they sky faded into darkness, the moon sat high in the sky a white jewel in a sea of stars

"Looks like we're having a late night tonight!" Mr Diaz exclaimed.

Star yawned half asleep "Ya..."

"Marco can you hand me the flashlight I can't see I need to get my purse." Mrs Diaz asked.

*snore*

"Marco?"

Star glanced over to where Marco sat, he was fast asleep his face pressed against the window. Star giggled "He looks so cute when he's asleep..." She thought to herself. Star stopped giggling then broke into a devious smile. She slowly leaned in, her face just inches from his.

"Marcoooo, wake up Marcoooo."

"Huh, what where a- AHHHHHH." Marco reeled backwards and hit his head on the widow. Star fell back into her seat laughing face off.

"STAR! WHAT THE HECK?" Marco complained.

"You... you should of seen your face!" Star said between breaths.

"Nah nah nah you should of seen your face." Marco imitated annoyed.

Star burst out laughing again and Marco couldn't help but laugh along with her.

"Alright kids lets go we got a big day ahead of us tomorrow!" Mr Diaz explained while getting out of the car.

The Diaz's, after a small dinner, were now all settled into bed. Mr and Mrs Diaz slept at the far end of the trailer on the main bed. Star and Marco however had to make do with the table booth which in a long and frustrating process could be converted into a bed.

Marco turned in his sleeping bag "Goodnight Star."

"Goodnight Marco." Star said closing her eyes.

Meanwhile in Ludo's castle...

Buff Frog entered into the throne room to give his daily report. "Sir construction is going as planed and it should be finished on time!"

"Perfect!" Ludo shouted evilly. "How about the other buildings did you get rid of them?"

"They are working on that right now Ludo sir!" The frog replied.

"Good, good, Star and her stupid boyfriend's family won't know what hit them... Literally! Ahahahahaha!"

Don't worry guys Ludo's plan will be reviled soon enough! If you want to guess what it is you can PM me, please don't guess in the reviews because you wouldn't want to spoil the fun now would you!
