Wow! It's been forever sense I've updated. Well here is a new story, I'm not sure if they are connected they kinda could be but it's up to you. So yeah this took forever to write. I hope you enjoy it and I would like to say thank you for all the positive comments.

It started out as a normal day. Star had gotten a call from her mother and that's what started it all.

"Star, you have to start taking things more seriously." Just like always Queen Moon was lecturing her daughter about the duties of becoming queen. "And speaking of taking things seriously you need to start looking for someone capable of ruling with you."

Star furrowed her eyebrows at her the screen, "What do you mean?"

"I mean you need to start looking for the future king." It was at this moment that if anatomy would have allowed it her jaw would have hit the floor. "Oh Star close your mouth."

"But Mom.."

"But nothing we're having a ball next week and there will be plenty of suitors for you to pick from."

"Um. you see I would but uhh...I already have a boyfriend," She blurted out without thinking.

"Oh well I look forward to meeting him at the ball. We'll send a carriage for you and him tomorrow night. Love you." And with that the call ended. It was at that moment that she had realized what she had said. It was also at this moment that Star let out a ear piercing scream. Not even two seconds later Marco burst in her room, landing in a fighting stance.

"Star, what's wrong? Are you in trouble?" She just looked at him, her screaming continuing. Star went over to her bed and collapsed head first, her face buried into her pillows, muffling the screams. Marco raised an eyebrow at her and slowly approached the bed. "Star?"

After a few minutes of screaming she finally calmed down and turned her head to face him. "No Marco. I'm not ok. My mom wants me to go to this ball tomorrow night and she wanted me to meet a suitor and so I said I have a boyfriend and now she wants to meet him." She rambled on to him.

"Wait you have a boyfriend?" He questioned her, never hearing of any boyfriend.

"No Marco and that's the problem. I don't have a boyfriend."
"Then why would you say you do?"

"Because Marco. You don't understand. Those suitors are snobby and boring and judgmental. I don't want to date any of them. I knew that if I didn't have a reason my mom would make me date one. I wasn't thinking and now I don't know what to do." She whined.

He walked over and place a hand on her back, "Don't worry. It'll all work out." She smiled at him before sitting up.

"You're right. I just need to find someone to bring that could pass as my boyfriend. Someone respectable and dignified. Someone who can dance and is polite." She placed her hand on her chin for a minute before bouncing off the bed excitedly. "Marco you should go with me!"

The boy's eyes widened, "Wait why me?"

"Because Marco you are all of those things plus the only person my mother would approve of. Please Marco. Please. Please. Please." She began to beg him.

He let out a sigh, "Fine, I'll go."

"Thank you so much!' She threw her arms around him, almost knocking him over in the process. She stepped back, "Ok we need to get you a suit."

"I have a suit though. Remember the one I wore to the Blood Moon Ball?"

"Yeah but that was black and red. I'll be wearing blue and white, you need to match." She explained as it was something quite obvious. So that night they spent looking for a spell to make Marco a suit for the Ball the following night.

After hours of preparing and planning, they decided that they Marco was ready for the ball. The hours ticked by as Star set to getting ready to go. She pulled out the dress her mom had sent her that morning. It was a long poofy dress. The bottom was sky blue and the top was white with long lace sleeves. She placed her tiara on her head and pointed her wand at her face to fix her hair and makeup Her hair was curled and placed into a bun with a few curls framing her face. She grabbed some white flats and slipped her feet into them.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on her door, "Come in."

Marco opened the door while looking down, fixing his tie. He wore a black suit with a white shirt sky blue tie and a matching sky blue handkerchief folded in the pocket. "Hey the carriage is...woah." His words faded out as he looked up at her. "You look amazing."

"Thanks Marco. So do you. Now let's go." She took a deep breath as she walked over to him.

As they arrived at the front of the palace, Marco helped her out of the carriage. She laced her arm through his and they walked up to the front doors. Two butlers opened the doors for them and they stepped inside. Her mother had requested her to meet them in the throne room as she was expected to be announced with the royal family. As they made their way there Star took deep breathes. She loved her parents but her mom could be a little over demanding and tough. Marco patted her hand that rested on his arm, "It's ok." She smiled at him.

The doors were opened to the throne room and they walked to down till they were in front of the Queen and King. Star curtsied and Marco bowed at the two.

"Mom, this is Marco. My date." Star introduced the boy. Queen Moon got up and walked in front of him. She stared down at him for what felt like centuries, finally she nodded.

"Star you are accepted to walk in with us. Marco will wait for you inside of the ball room. Do you understand?"

Star nodded, "Yes, Mother."

"Marco one of the butlers will lead you there now," She snapped her fingers and a butler walked over to them. "Go." the boy walked away with the man and disappeared from the room.

"Star, please be on your best behavior tonight." Queen Moon spoke to her daughter.

"I promise mother."

"Ok, well let's go. We have a party to attend to." King River spoke as he stood. The three of them exited the room and walked to the ball room. They were introduced and walked to the front of the room. Everyone bowed at the royal family and continued on enjoying the party. Star looked at her mother who only nodded. The princess walked through the crowd looking for Marco. Someone stepped in front of her, blocking her path. "Oh sorry excuse me." She said as she tried to make her way around the person.

They reached out and placed a hand on her arm, stopping her. "Hello Princess Butterfly. I'm Prince Anthe. Would you care to dance?"

She took a step back, "Uh, no thank you. I'm actually looking for someone right now." She tried to get around him again only to once again be stopped.

"Aw, come on just one dance."

"I said no." She couldn't get around him so she turned around and started walking away. He grabbed her hand and pulled her around so she was facing him. "Let go." His grip only tightened. It was at this moment that Marco came to her rescue.

"Hey man, she said no." he stood between them, forcing him to drop her hand.

"Whatever," Anthe said as he stormed away.

"You ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Thanks."

I see what you mean now about the guys here. But don't worry about them. Let's have some fun. So Princess Star Butterfly, may I have this dance?" He held out his hand and bowed to her.

She giggled a bit before placing her hand in his, "It would be my honor." He pulled her to the dance floor and pulled her close. Placing one hand on her waist and the other holding her hand. She placed her free hand on his shoulder as they began to dance to the music. "Last time we did this was in the light of the Blood Moon, you know that didn't end very well."

"No it did not but it was still fun." He twirled her in a circle before replacing his hand.

"Tom was so mad." She laughed a little.

"Yeah what was that all about? Like I get the whole jealousy thing, I mean who wouldn't be jealous over you. But I mean it was just one dance."

Star blushed slightly at his words, she never told him what that dance meant. She decided to tell him and just get it out of the way. "Well, I guess when you dance in the light of the Blood Moon it bonds the two...souls...for all eternity." She explained to him.

He dipped her as the song ended and so did her words. He quickly pulled her up, "What?! Star why didn't you tell me?"

"I thought you wouldn't understand and I didn't want it to ruin our friendship." She explained to the boy.

He pulled her into a hug, "Star nothing could ruin our friendship but you have to tell me these things. I mean it kinda involves my soul to." He chuckled.

She laughed, "Ok, I promise no more secrets."

They spent the rest of the night dancing and laughing and talking to each other. By the time the night ended they were both exhausted. Star said goodbye to her parents as they left for the night. But before they left Stars mom leaned in and whispered into her daughter's ear. Stars whole face turned red and Marco looked at her with confusion. When they arrived back at the house Marco and Star changed into their night clothes. He came into her room and laid down next to her. "Well that was some party. And I have to say we made a pretty great fake couple."

Star took a deep breath, "We would probably make a good real couple too."

Marco looked over at her, "What?"

"We said no more secrets. So Marco, I like you, like a lot. And I think we would make a really good couple, I mean can we at least try?"

He smiled at her, "There is nothing I would want more." She smiled at him and curled up closer to him. She was almost asleep when his voice cut through the silence again, "Oh what did your mom say before we left?"

"She said that it took me long enough to find the right guy and that she thinks I found a great future king." Marco's whole face turned red as Star fell asleep. It wasn't long after that he fell asleep as well.
