Marco's dream world

A vast empty plain with no up, no down, no left, no right, just a place of nothing, floating in this ocean of nothing enjoying the world of no problem, no worries, no frustrations, no pain, no fear, no complication just a peaceful siren of nothing. Until a song comes and ruins the serenity

I call on thee (Blank)
Come now and re(blank)
(Muffle screams) ing me back to (Muffle screams)
Give back (blank...) purity (Blank)

Felling his skin being peeled off as the unfinished song repeats, with each verse the pain gets to the point that it makes him opens his eyes getting locked into a pair of glowing red orbs with life less black spots what resembles disembodied eyes. trapped in the sight, a feeling of a pair of hands on his shoulders pushing tours the eyes until hes place on his feet then the hands slides down into an embrace around his waist holding him from behind what feels like being held by a naked women, she is saying something in his ear, but she saying it to quickly so he can't understand a single word this keeps happening until the pair of arms that are wrapped around him slithers up meeting on his forehead cupping with a quick motion his head ripped off left to free fall into the ocean of nothing

"I want (Muffle Scream) want is right fully mine"


Out side of Marco's dream world

Marco springs out of bed with his heart races, a cold sweat pouring all over his battle to the death ready body, as he pants he looks around realizing where he's at "My room, I'm in my room, I'm safe in my room, it was the dream" he knocks himself on the head "Get out of there already this is getting annoying" Marco said returning to his normal dead man way taking a few deep breath he calms his heart and his breathing

Marco looks out his window seeing it still dark out, bring up the question "What time is it" taking a look at his clock it's 3:55 "Son of a bitch not again" he groans, falling to the floor he does his morning warmup: Two rounds of 180 degree push ups, does four thousand squats then some stretches and since he woke up so early he goes out side and runs laps changing his speed the whole time, by the time he gets done his mother is in the kitchen cooking up breakfast "Morning mom"

He said startling his mother "Mar mar Marco" she said panting "Marco don't do that" he stays quiet as she settles her heart rate "What are you doing up so early"

Marco lets out a yawn "I woke up four hours earlier then I should" he does stretches "I'm going to go take a shower" he said after he finishes his after-run-stretches

"Alright, what do you want for breakfast?" Mrs. Diaz ask as she started pulling out some ingredients

"Do we have any mushrooms?" Marco as he pops his back

"Yes" She said pulling out a container of mushrooms

"How are we on eggs" Marco ask after popping his neck and worked out a kink

"We are got plenty" She said pulling out a box of one-hundred five eggs

"Alright then one mystery omelet please, with no bacon and a nice sprinkle of cayenne pepper" He said as he heads up stairs

"How many eggs?" ask as he reach the beginning of the stairs

"Fifteen please" He said as he's half way up the stairs

Mrs. Diaz giggles "My boy is hunger this morning" she lovingly begins cooking breakfast

Mr. Diaz walk up behind his wife giving her a kiss "Good morning my dear, whats for breakfassss whoa thats a big omelet"

"Yep Marco is hunger this morning" Mrs. Diaz smiles cracking the last omelet for her son omelet "and where having mystery omelets this morning"

Mr. Diaz rolls his eye pulling out an apron "Well I better help you so we can all eat together"

"Thanks honey" gives her husband a wink

As the couple worked together to get breakfast on the table there was just one question lingering in the air "So why is Marco so angry this morning" Mr. Diaz finally ask

"I don't know he woke up pretty early this morning, he just got back from his run when I was about to start making breakfast"

"And you asked him what he wanted, he only request mystery omelets when he's angry" Mr. Diaz let slip out as he finished the first omelet

Mrs. Diaz just finished the first layer "Yep, he seem really frustrated when he got back from his run this morning" the couple exchange knowing looks

"Do you think this has anything to do with Star" Mr. Diaz ask as he finished the second omelet

She lets out a sigh "I hope not" she finishes the second layer and cooks it onto the first layer

Marco finishes his shower and is out just in time

"Breakfast is ready" Mrs. Diaz calls up

"Is Star down there" Marco calls back

"No can you get her please" Mrs. Daiz ask

"All ready on it" Marco informs, finishing it with a sneeze "I hope I'm not catching a cold" Marco thinking out loud, he lazily makes his way to Star bumping into the wall bouncing off it to the next wall and keeps doing this until he ends up in front of the door to Star's room, he stomps his right foot to the floor swinging the rest of his body tours the slamming both his fist to the door leaving two craters on her door in a split second you can hear Star scream at the top of her lungs and all the laser puppies going off and she keeps the pitch for a good five minutes, until the only thing you can hear is her panting "Are you done" Marco calls into Star's room thru the door

"M-m-m-m-m-Marco what the heck" Star steamers between her gasping for air

"It's time to wake up, breakfast" Marco calls into her room

"Marco that wasn't cool you nearly gave me a heart attack" there is silence replying to her complaint "Marco?" just silence "MARCO DIAZ!?" just more silence "He left" she said glaring at the door "I'm up" she shouts at the door, quickly getting dress she hurries down to breakfast as they wait for her to join the first thing she does when she see Marco is shoot him with a deadly glare that could kill if he was paying attestation he's to busy having a staring contest with his mystery omelet trying not to eat it right thin and there

After Star joins them at the table everyone join hands and say grace they begin eating the whole time Star is kicking Marco under the table trying to get him to look at her but he doesn't he's to busy with his omelet to even care about the death match she is challenging him to, after breakfast the two head up stair to brush their teeth and get ready for school, now they are in the bathroom brushing their teeth "Marco that wasn't nice what you did this morning, what the heck you scare me half two death" Star glares at him in the mirror, but there is no reply, no acknowledgement what so ever "Marco Diaz are you listening to me" still no reply all he does is finish brushing his teeth putting his tooth brush away and leaves for his bedroom

They are now outside waiting for the bus it normally wouldn't be a problem, but the silent treatment is aggravating Star to no end as the bus pulls up to the pair, Star bolts onto the bus first tacking a seat in the middle of the bus scooting in waiting for Marco to join her so she can finally talk to him, but not today instead of sharing a seat he plops down two seats behind her taking up a whole seat all to himself "Marco what the heck" there is no reply Star bunny hops over the seat she glares at him over the seat she opens her mouth to yell at him.

Before she could she gets an apple shoved into her mouth, then the hand grabbing her by the back of the head pulling her face to face with one angry Marco "SHUT UP" he hisses, letting her go she falls back into her seat

She cross her arms and legs biting into the apple she catches it in mid air "Marco's a jerk to day" she huffs before she takes another bite of the apple, fighting back the tears of anger, she continues having a chow down match with the apple until she hears a voice call to her

"Good morning Star" Looking up from her apple to see Jackie smiling at her

"Good morning Jackie" She groans

"Whats wrong Star" Jackie sitting next to her

"Marco is being a jerk this morning" As if right on cue the back of the seat where the two teens are sitting gets bent forward making them yelp in surprised, they both look behind them to see Marco, his muscle are clench his fist are balled up and ready to fight for his life he panting and shacking

Star curls up between the seats to scared to come out, Jackie on the other hand slips out from between the seats now sitting on she leans in and pokes Marco right between "Good morning Marco"

When she poked him it makes him jump launching a punch at her, her voice reach his ear just in time for him to redirect it miss her, she takes his shacking fist,"Release" Jackie ask in a soothing voice, his fist melts away into a shacking hand "You had that nightmare again didn't you" she said already knowing the answer

"How did you do that" Star ask completely stun "Are you an Esper"

Jackie looks at Star who finally crawls out form in between the seats she rolls her eyes "No Star I'm not an Esper" Jackie sat down next to him "I just knew that Marco wouldn't hurt me" she smiles at him Marco looks away, he taps his nose with his right handed middle finger it goes up his nose stopping right between his eyes and back down again finishes with another tap of his nose

"How did you know Marco wouldn't hurt you, so you are an Esper" Star make eye contact with Marco she sits up strait as if she is being interrogated

"Star I'm not an Esper. and its because Marco isn't that type of guy who would hurt someone just because he can" Jackie said poking his cheek

"What type of guy is he" Star ask she tries to poke him too, but when her met his she withdraws

"He's a protective type, a type dispirit his crude and cruel tong telling you thing that you need to hear making him a complete honest asshole, will never abandon you, he will be there by your side with his hand on your back or wrapped around your shoulder walking thru what ever trouble your going thru" She giggles to her self "That's the type he is"

Marco taps his nose with his right handed middle finger it goes up his nose stopping right between his eyes and back down again finishes with another tap of his nose, he repeats this action the whole time Jackie is talking "How do you know that" Star ask

Jackie opens her mouth to answer, but closes it she thinks about the question and tries to answer it again, but still no answer "I... I don't know how I know this I just do"

Before anything else can be said Marco interferes "Butterfly get off the back of the seat" she shoots him with a glare for referring to her by her last name she jumps off it and lands right next to Jackie growling

"You know MARCO it's not nice calling your friend by their last name" Star said crossing her arms

"I'm not your friend" Marco said as he bending the seat back to it's up right position

Star shoot a glaring question at Jackie, all she does is shrugs she doesn't know "So Marco what new with the dream that made you so cranky this morning?" Jackie ask changing the subject

"Whats new is I feel the hands and body of a naked woman, who rips my head off, by the way I feel all of it anyways my head falls and I'm left there staring at my ankles, before I black out I hear a child's voice whispering in my ear "this is mine now" After Marco gets done fixing the seat he sits back into his seat "What annoys me is the child's voice sounds so familiar I don't know why thou" the rest of the ride is silent between the three

The Bus stops in front of the school

All the teen get off the buss going strait to their locker some stop in the hall went on chatting about what ever there is to chat about. Star and Marco are walking to their class with Miss. Skulnic, Star is walking behind Marco twirling her wand in the air catching it and does it again and again trying to figure out something to say to break the stalemate thats between her and Marco "Hey it's the magic girl"

"Hiiiiii, hi new friends" Star said waving bother her hand in the air as the crowd passes by "Wow everyone is so cool here this make me wish my" Star turns around and Marco is not there "... parents... Marco?"

Marco didn't notice Star, he lets out a loud yawn, when he finally notice Star wasn't be hind him any more "Star what are you doing?" Marco calls out to her, he yawns again "We got to get to class"

Star runs in front of Marco, turns around and now is walking backwards "How long do you plan on keep be so grumpy" She said in a way trying to cheer him up

Marco opens one eye "How long do you plan on keep being a pain"

"Until I get you to smile" Star said as if she's declaring war on Marco

Marco rolls his eyes "Don't try to hard" He open's the door to Skulnic's class room before Star walks into it "Or you'll give your self a ulcer"

"Whats an Ulcer?" Star trips over Marco's seat and she lands in her seat, He doesn't answer he just takes his seat and lays his head in between his arms blocking out all light taking a little snooze until the bell goes off and the rest of the class files into the classroom

Homeroom begins the teacher is sitting at her desk reading a fashion catalog, everyone else is sitting at their desk chatting among themselves or what ever else happens in homeroom, Star joins in enjoying the friendly atmosphere her eyes wander over to the snoozing young man("I wonder how I can make him have a better day today")

"Hey Star what do you think" Sabrina ask getting her attention back to the group

"Well I think it would be fun if we add a rainbow in the back" the conversation continues

Time skip

Lunch time is half way done and the princess from another dimension is chewing on the table out of frustration "Hey there Star whats up you look a little bummed out

Star looking up from the table "Oh hey Jackie" she takes a deep breath "I've been trying to cheer Marco up all day and nothing I've done doesn't seem to work" she said with her exhale

Jackie looks around the lunch room she finds Marco laying on the table using his hoodie as a pillow and to block out all the light to sleep thru lunch "Ya I think you been going at it all wrong, it's hard to cheer up a sleep person who had a bad night best thing to do is let them sleep" she said joining Star at the table

"I wanted to make him him smile" Star pouted

Jackie rolls her eyes at the fussy blond sitting across from her, she opens her mouth about to say something, but is interrupted by the bell of binging of fifth period "Come on lets get to fifth period

"Fine, but that class is so boring" she whines

"Yes it is but you'll survive" Jackie not meaning to sound like a mother, Star stomps away Jackie can't help but to chuckle to her self as she watches her walk away. Her eyes wander back over to Marco who is asleep right now waiting for a few more seconds there is no change she walks over to him

"Marco wake up it's time to get to class" Jackie said, but still no change she shakes him "Marco"

Marco grunts in response raising a hand a smacking Jackie's hand hard enough to make a clap, but not hard enough to hurt her lifting his hoodie "Jackie?" Marco yawns "Its time for fifth period isn't"

"Yes it is" Marco just lays there for a few seconds "Um Marco" he lifts his hoodie to look at her "Can I have my hand back"

"Hm?" looking down his chest seeing what she talking about "Fine" he release her hand

"I'll see you in fifth period?" Jackie ask

"Ya" he answers flatly, he lays there listening to Jackie walk away when he couldn't hear her any more he sits up, with a heave sigh "Jackie your to sweet to be true" he hides his face in his hands "Why do you waist your time on me?" he speaks to no one. He jumps off the table and when his feet hit the ground he runs, he runs to his locker, he runs to his fifth period class stopping five seconds in front of his class he enter and greeted

"So you did make it" Jackie standing two feet away giving him a warm welcoming smile, Marco taps the tip of his nose runs his finger up stopping in between his eyes and goes back down to the tip of his nose, he answers with a grunt and a shrug of the shoulders

Going over to his seat fighting the urge to keep his wandering eyes locked on the angle with the name that that starts with J, as soon as he sits "Marco look look look it's my name it's my name" He looks over to the Mewni's disaster of a princess "Look it's my name with a star in side a butterfly... with two hearts and a spider" she chimes with a big smile plastered on her face

Her cheerful shine is disrupted by the teacher slamming a paper on her desk with a look of absolute disgust glare "As you all can guess most of you have done a terrible job" Miss Skullnic insulting the whole entire class

"Not meeee" She shows her paper proudly to Marco "I got an F for fantastic"

Marco raises an eye brow to her "That's an F for you failed" he corrects her

"huh?" A question is plastered on her face

"What don't you have test on Mewni" Marco yawns

"Ummmmmmm" she racks her brain for an explanations "So what did you get" She ask trying to change the subject

Marco isn't fooled he's just to tired to care " I got an A pulse"

Star looks at her paper then looks at Marco's "What's the different"

Marco pulls out a grading stick "This is how it works A pulse is the best grade you can get, F minus is the worst grade you can get"

She looks at the grading stick "I want the best grade too" She jumps up from her seat and goes up to the teacher, Marco watching her rolling his eyes like he already knows whats about to happen "Oh Miss Skullnic" Star sings. Hearing her seems to snaps inside the teacher as she breaks the chalk "Hey Skulldy i was wondering if you would change my F to an A pulse"

"Your whining about a lousy grade, wiles I finally got a guy with a boat and he left me at the dock" She snaps at Star

"The Dock?" Star chews on her wand pondering about the dock

"The dock isn't the important part!" the teacher screams, she slouches over in defeat "I'm doom to be stuck on dry land"

A light bulb goes off in her head"I got it, I'll cast a spell that can get you the perfect guy and you can give me the perfect grade" Marco raises his head to this

"What"

She twirls her wand "Man magnetic love storm" a green beam shoots out and his the teacher

When the green light fades away a loud gasp escapes from everyone in the class "All right I'm getting up, I'm getting up" he lifts his tired heave body out of his seat "Butterfly what did you do" Marco sleepily snaps at her

Star quickly shooting a glare at Marco for referring to her by her last name " think I turn her into a troll"

"Star Butterfly rules" Justin cheers then the rest of the class cheers along with him

"I'm hideous" Miss Skullnic cries

"Whats new" Marco's voices echos silencing the cheering students "You've all ways been hideous, and this whole entire time you've been taking it out on us and the rest of your classes, what do you expected that taking it on us that it would change anything"

The Cheers change into grown as everyone looks at the heart broken teacher, Marco feels a gentle tug on the back of his sleeve "Um Marco aren't you being too cruel her"

Looking over his shoulder he sees Jackie with a sad look in her eyes thats is killing him, he takes a deep breath and pops his neck "Yes I am being cruel, but it's has been something thats been needed to be said"

Jackie looks at Star after seeing that there is no change in him"Hey Star can you turn her back"

"Turn her back" she laughs nervously "Right right right" she hold her wand up "Lightning take us back" a pink and yellow lightning shoots out of her wand surrounding her Marco Jackie and Skullnic and in a flash they were gone

Now arriving at the Diaz household

With another flash the group of four appear in Star's room "Where are we" Star a little dizzy

"Where in your room back at the house"

"Ooooh I wish I knew how I did that it could come in handy when I don't want to use my legs" Star doing something like the Cancan

"This is your room Star" Jackie asked amazed by how big it is

"Yep it is" she said proudly

"Wow I wish I had a room this big" Jackie takes a look around

"Well then after where done with Miss Skullnic I can" Marco interrupts her

"Butterfly, no you won't" He said leaving no room for argument

Star is about to retaliate, Jackie intervene "So Star about changing Miss Skullnic back" The teacher is running around Star's room screaming her head off

"Oh right, don't worry Skuldy I'll change you back" She holds up her wand. Five hours latter nothing has changed Star is trying to figure out what to do about the Teacher problem. Then an idea clicked "I got it"

Star lifts her wand about to cast the spell, but before she could start Marco come in and swipes her wand from her "That's enough Butterfly"

"Marco I got it, I finally got it" She tries to get her wand from him, but only getting whacked on the head with it "Ow"

"Now before you traumatize the teacher anymore" Marco pointing at her with his thumb, he has her tied to a chair "I believe it's time for you to call your mother and get her help with this" He lets out a loud yawn

"What no no I can't if I ask for help, if my parents would know about this it would get me sent strait Saint Olga's School for ward Princess" She shacking like a storm

"It can't be that bad" Jackie said trying to calm Star down

"Your right it's way worst, It's this terrible horrible place who ever goes in will never come out the same" Star lets out a high pitch scream

"Are you done?" Jackie asked with a hint of concern for the princess

Shes about to answer, but Marco speaks up before her "The real question here is why hasn't your parents sent you there already" Star screams at the top of her lunges. Jackie punches Marco in the arm "What it's funny"

She pushes him "Marco you need to be more empathetic" she informs him

"I am when it's needed" He flat lines her, she raises an eye brow in question, the answer she gets a shrug of the shoulders

"Come on Star you don't have to tell her the whole thing,you can let her know what happening and still get away with the problem you know "dance around the truth" Jackie trying to calm her, Marco is about to say something before he could Jackie covers his mouth, he looks at her with an 'are you kidding me' look, she just shoots him with a glare

Star cheering back up "I'm a great dancer" she said proudly, and does a little dance over to her mirror "Mirror mirror on the wall call mom"

"Calling Tom" the mirror

Her eyes shot open and she starts getting panicky "Whoaaaaa"

"Star" Came a male voice sounding relieved

"No no no I said call mom not Tom" Star reaching for the hang up button on the mirror

"Wait wait I'm here you're" "Tom!" A female voice interrupting him

"I told you to clean up after Cerberus this morning"

"You go clean up her mess I'm busy right now" He yells over his shoulder, he about to continue his conversation with Star when he gets his face slam into the mirror and thrown out of the mirror's reflection

"I said go clean her mess up" she orders coming into the mirror's reflection "Sorry about, oh it's you" she started with a sweet tone, but when she sees who it is it turns into disgusted

Star rolls her eyes in disgust "Hello Pypper"

"Why the hell are you calling my little brother" started but is interrupted by "I'm the older twin get that threw your head" she pick up a rock and throws it so hard that gets wedged in his mouth "I thought you would have had deleted his number off your mirror" Pypper said mocking her

"I was calling mom not Tom" She's getting angry "Yes I should delete him off my mirror "

"Well coming from you this is not a surprise" Star is about to snap back "Shut up" she gets hung up on, leavening her fuming

"Calling Mom" the mirror said

Star take a few deep breath recomposing herself "Oh Star darling what a pleasant surprise" Moon answers

"Hiiii mom" Star lets out a nerves chuckle, she takes a deep breath readying herself to 'dance around the truth'

As she does Marco and Jackie watching her fail completely "You know she can't 'dance around the truth' don't you" Marco removing her hand from his mouth

"Ya well... at lease I'm trying to help her unlike someone" Jackie looks at Marco

"Well I may not be telling her what she wants to hear at lease I'm not encouraging her to lie" Marco looks at Jackie "Unlike someone" the two are staring each other down

As they continue their staring contest Miss Skulnic slips past them she jumps out the window making a loud crash, Marco and Jackie runs tours the window "Star what is going on there"

She panics "I got to go bye" shutting the blinds over the mirror "What happen"

"She jumped out the window" Marco jump out the window after her

Jackie and Star follows shortly after the trio tackles the troll teacher to the ground "Wow good job Marco" Jackie nods in agreement

"Wooooow good job Margo" an annoying mocking voice calls out

"Ludo" Star stands up with her hand on Marco's shoulder "What are you doing here"

"I here to catch you at your most distracted" he said proudly

"What I've been more distracted then this" Star rolling her eyes

Marco raises his hand it lining it up and make it talks "I can believe that" Star looking a little wired out by Marco making his hand talk

"I don't know you seem to be distracted" Ludo getting the wind taking out of his sail

"Na not really" Star pushes Marco's hand away

"Oh well, Whats that over there" Ludo scream pointing behind her

"What where" She looks where Ludo is pointing, Jackie give Star an 'are you kidding me' look

"Get them" Ludo orders his monsters, the monster roars Star and Jackie scream, Marco swings around scooping Star and Jackie up putting some distance between them

Star gets the fight started "Crystal daggers heart attack" A ray of pink shoots out raining the monster with a shower of heart shaped daggers "Fell the love"

As this was happening Marco slips into the shed pulling a five foot crowbar out of it "Jackie catch" he throws it to her

Just in time the monsters that avoided Star's attack are now going after her, the crowbar hits three eye potato baby, and she catches it spinning it in her hands owning it, using it to put the monster who dare to attack her in their place "Thanks Marco"

"No problem " A thud catches his attention, Marco raises an eye brow at the monster who dares to challenge him. The trio bounce the the monster off each other until one of the monster slipped out and was sent fly tours Miss Skullnic and let there be chemistry

This catches Star's attention "Awwwwwww Narwhal blast" She said a monster flying tours Jackie she sees it coming, using the hook part of the crowbar wrapping it around the monsters neck and the momentum redirecting the monster into the ground with a thud. Two monster attack Jackie, but before they could even touch her Marco comes from behind grabbing them by the back of their head and slamming their faces to the ground making them bow to her

"Hey Marco Jackie can you two handles this for a little bit" Star ask

"Yes" Marco readies himself

"Ya no problem" Jackie said with confident

"Cool thanks" Star sings

The monster ready themselves "If you all want to run no one will blame you" Marco said sounding smug, Jackie giggles with that the fight continues

"Hey Miss Skullnic" Star sing catching the teacher in mid escape

"What" She said reaching her limited with the blond disaster

"See that monster over there" She points at the Minotaur as Marco doing a back flip over him using his horns as a balancing beam, quickly swiping it off it's feet sending him flying tours Jackie

"Batters up" He said getting her attention, she swing and clocking the monster back to Marco who close lines the monster into the ground hard enough to make it bounce and finishes it with a kick sending it skidding in the dirt

"He thinks your cute" Star said

"Really" The teacher gets excited "What should I do"

"Just wait right here" Star runs over to the Minotaur as he is about to get up and back into the fight "Hey there monster man" She said getting his attention "You see that troll over there" The Minotaur gets all excited spring back to his feet mumbling something and runs tours Miss Skullnic "Awwwwww" she sighs

Her dreamy state is ruin by the sounds of monster screaming in pain, she realized she missing out on all the fun "Aren't you all forgetting something" Star said holding up her wand getting the attention of all the monsters

"Get the wand" Ludo orders, the monsters leave Marco and Jackie attacking Star

Jackie is about to go help, but is stop by Marco wrapping his arm around her "Hold on" Shes about to say something but is interrupted by Marco placing a finger on his lips "Just watch"

"Turbo nuclear butterfly blast" Thrust her wand and an explosion goes off whipping out all the monster "Whoaaaaaaaaa" she jumping up and down cheering about what she just have done

"Wow girl you didn't have to go so far" Jackie looking around seeing whats left of Marco's back yard

"I know right" She looks at Jackie with a big toothy smile, then she looks at Marco "What" she looks at both of them "Why is Marco burn up and your not Jackie"

Jackie giggles "Mister mighty here step in front of me and took the blast head on" He shoots her with a glare as she gently punches him with the back of her hand

"Git up git upp" Ludo is ordering his monsters trying to shack some life back into it, but it's no good

"I told you I was distracted, wait did I kill that guy" Star pointing at the monster

"No he's not dead he's just probably bleeding internally and being a big baby about it" finishing it with a kick to the head

Ludo is walking with a pair of dimensional scissors, Marco looking up "Hey Ludo"

"What!?" He snaps at him

Pointing up "Heads up" Ludo looks up seeing the in coming monsters, he tries to run away in the end he still gets squished. After a good five minutes of scrapping all the unconscious or in Marco's cases throwing the monster into the alter dimension portal sending them back to where they came from

"Well" there is uncomfortable pause "That was something else" Jackie said not to sure of making heads or tails of the new experiences

"I know right" Star said with a spring in her step "This was your first time wasn't" Jackie replies with a nods yes She giggles "Oh yes I remember my first time fighting monster" she said in a dreamy tone

"I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling the 'wonder' you're talking about" Jackie trying not to get angry

Star froze a little bit thinking about the "Ohhhhh" she relies where she's messing up "Oh ooooh I'm so sorry Jackie, right right this is your first time fighting monsters" She thinks about what to say next "Well it's not all that uncommon to have the feeling of "who is the bad guy here" me or the monster" she goes off completely ruining her attempt to easy the uncertainty in Jackie

Before she could go any further Marco scares her by coming from behind pulling her to him covering her mouth with his hand "Butterfly you're trying to hard so shut up before you make the matters worst" He shifts his glance from Star to Jackie "Now Jackie to simplify what Butterfly is trying so say "You fought with us so you protected Butterfly and I"

Jackie molds over what Marco "They did attack us first didn't they?"

"Yes" Marco said seeing Jackie regaining her 'ground'

"Thanks Marco" Jackie said censoriously

Star is grumbling under Marco's hand until she sees Skullnic wrapped around the Minotaur's arm approaching the trio, She moves Marco's hand way from her mouth but keeps it on her shoulder "Ooooooooooo" she said with stars in her eyes getting Marco's and Jackie's attention, Marco and Jackie couldn't help but look a little disgusted by the two in front of them "Now that I hooked you up how about that A" Marco unconsciously wrapped his other arm around Jackie shoulders

"Oh please girlfriend I would give you an A+ if I was still a teacher, I'm setting sail with captain triceps here" The pair heads tours the portal he saying what every he's trying to say ending with a what fog horn sounds like

"What abou" Marco interrupts her by placing his hand over her mouth, he leans in and whispers in her ear "I think you should help them out" he said loud enough so Jackie could hear as well

"Help with what" Jackie adding on

"Could you understand what he was saying" Marco facing Jackie

It takes a second or two for the two young ladies to put two and two together "Good point" Star lifts her wand aiming at the new couple "She speaks, he speaks, he speaks, she speaks breaking the language barrier blast" She shoots them with a ray of green blue and pink sending them flying into the portal and with that there are gone

"Did it work?" Jackie asked looking at Star

"Ummmmm probably" She said sounding not to sure her self

"Well if I didn't work then will be seeing Skullnic at school" Marco stating the facts "So Jackie since you're here would you like to spend the night"

She was not expecting this "Um is your mom and dad cool with it"

"I don't know they won't be back till tomorrow and there is no way to reach them, so you want to spend the night or not?" Marco looking forward

Jackie shrugs her shoulder "Why not it's already this late"

"Yay you can sleep in my room" Star cheers

"Sure thing, I better put this back after cleaning it" Jackie holds the crowbar up

"Na you can keep the crowbar" Marco leading the ladies into the building

"No I can't this is your father's crowbar" Jackie said not trying to be mean

"He never uses it, if anything this is it's first time being out of the shed after I made it for him" Marco opens the door for the ladies

"Wait you made this for him" Jackie said a little to loud surprised

"Yep, my dad kept complying about never able to find a dependable crowbar so I decided to make him one" Marco walks into the kitchen and stars making something for them to eat

Jackie and Star are playing with the crowbar "Wow this thing is light"

"Yep for easy transportation and when you where fighting did you get any painful vibration after shock" Marco is making lasagna

"Now that you mention it... no" She chuckle at what she just realizes "No there where no after shock at all"

Marco sticks his head out of the kitchen, after he got her reply he nods "Good"

"But I can't you made this for your dad" Jackie having a hard time

"Na if anything you're saving it so keep it" Marco said

Yes but" She starts "JUST TAKE IT!" Marco booms scaring Star pale, she nearly wet herself "Stop arguing with me and just take it" He orders. Jackie couldn't see the pain she was causing for Marco's, he lets a sigh "He's not going to miss it anyways so just take it"

"Um okay thanks I'll take good care of it" Jackie said nervously

"Just use it" He said sounding like he just snarled. Jackie wraps both hands around the crowbar and cradles close to her person with a mixture of pain and confusion in her eyes as she watches his back as he makes tonight dinner.

With that the rest of the night is covered with an uncomfortable silence, despite Star trying to ruin it, its all in vain. Time for bed Jackie and Star goes up first to brush their teeth, Marco stays down stairs cleaning up, after the girls got done they go into Star's room, Marco goes up stair and brushed his teeth then after goes into his room no good nights tonight

In Star's room

"So where do I sleep" Jackie ask looking around

"Well before that how about I give you a tour around my room?" Star offers

"Ya you know what that sounds good" Jackie accepts her offers. Star leads Jackie around her room spending the whole time trying to cheer her up and make her laugh, Jackie tries to cheer up, but there is on question burning her alive "Hey Star"

"Ya Jackie" Star looks at her

"How long have you been living with the Diaz" Jackie trying to find the right words

"Two days now why" Star asked

"Whats it like" Jackie ask still trying to find the right words

"Well... Marco is scary and Mr and Mrs D are awesome" Star answers the best way she could think of

"No I mean how do they treat you" Jackie correct

"Uhm Well Marco scares me and he really um whats the right word he's not mean or evil tours me he sure can get a point across" She nervously chuckles and shudders "He's not cold tours me, he always makes sure that I'm involved more so then his mother and father and he is very easy to talk to like he has an interest in me" She thinks a little bit more "I guess the right word is ...bitter, he's very bitter tours me and proof is he calls me by my last name and he say "I'm not your friend" like being my friend is the last thing he wants to do" she pouts

"It sound like Marco is being difficult" Jackie rolls her eyes

"Oh is that with it is" She throws her hands in the air. She pouts a little bit longer, but cheers up quickly "Mr and Mrs Diaz are awesome even though they aren't around all that much, but when they are around they treat me like their own daughter like I'm was a missing and is welcome backed with open arms it's great"

"Ya that sounds like Mr. and Mrs. Diaz" Jackie chuckles. As the Star continues giving Jackie a tour Marco slips in silently making Jackie a place to sleep and slips back out

"With that Miss Thomson your tour of my palace reaches an end any question" Star sounding like a tour guide

"Yes just one where do I sleep" Jackie said with a shack of her head at her friends silliness

"Oh yes pardon me I forgot lets see" Star takes a step forward tripping over a hammock and hits the ground with a thud "How about this would this be a good place for you to sleep" She pointed at it laying on the ground

"Yes this hammock will do nicely thank you" Jackie is about to jump into it but is stopped by Star

"We need to changed into our PJs" Star springs to her feet stripping along the way

"But I don't" Jackie gets Star's PJs right in the face "Thank you" Jackie strips down completely naked "So how do you get into thissssss"

Star step and springs right next to Jackie "Oh it'sssssss easyyyyyy" A naked Jackie a naked Star come face to face with Marco in his boxers giving them a good full view of his very well tone body he stands there holding a pillow and a blanket

Marco tries to keep eye contact, but can't stop his wandering eyes, he clears his throat "Hi"

"Hi" the girls said in unity

"I'm I've I forgot to leave a pillow and blanket in the hammock" Marco is fighting to keep eye contact and failing as he walks closer

"So you're the one that left this hammock for Jackie" Star said sounding completely embarrass shes getting twitchy the closer he gets

"Yek" He clears his throat again stealing another full view "Yes I knew there isn't a second bed in Star's room so I got one of the hammocks in my room and brought it over" He overly esplanade it while tapping the tip of his nose with his middle finger running it up his nose stopping right between his eyes and back down again to the tip

Jackie nervously giggles "Thank you" She looks away then looks back at him again and repeats as he gets closer

He makes it to the Hammock putting the blanket and pillow on the hammock turn around and walks tours the exit like a robot "Goof niegh" He clears his throat again "Good night" he said it louder then it need to be

"Good night" the ladies scream it, Marco walks out of the room like a robot and when he was gone the girls start laughing

When things calm down "Well that just happen" Jackie said as she pats her still blushing face

"Yes" Star croaks "Yes that just happen" She croaks again

Jackie slips into Star's pajamas "Come on Star lets go to bed" she said still blushing up a storm

The hearts on Star's cheek are glowing "Yes that sound like a good idea" she said sounding like a robot, she does the robot walk over to her bed

"Good night Star" Jackie cuddles up in the hammock

Star finally calms down a bit "Good night Jackie"

Marco's room

After the he got out of Star's room he marches back to his room covering his mouth, when he is safely in his room he removes his had and a river of drool runs out, his shoulder are shacking curled up on the floor clenching his gut with more drool running after five more minutes of this he sit up whipping away the left over drool "Well that was entertaining"

He rest the back of his head on his bed panting, looking down at his lower half he see the pitch tent, he flicks it making his hole entire body shudders "Quiet you" he stands up grabbing the controller to the game station connected to the tv in his room, putting in a combination when he gets done the floor he is standing on starts sinking and when he's completely gone there is a big hole left in his room, if you listen closely you can hear the sound of a shower running it runs for a good five minutes, then the sound of a hairdryer which only lasted for two minutes.

When that was done Marco raises from the floor letting out a loud yawn he crawls into bed, with out another word he sleeps peacefully which he hasn't had for a long time

In the morning

Marco gets out of bed early to go down stairs to make breakfast, first goes check on Star and Jackie then goes down stairs to make breakfast, as breakfast is in the making he's enjoying the feeling of a good night sleep for as long as he can until he has to go wake Star and Jackie and get the day started "With that breakfast is ready" He looks up at the floor above "Now for those two"

He heads up stairs slowly trying to savory what he can before he wakes Star and Jackie, stopping in front of the door to Star's room pulling his hand back with one last breath and a sigh he bangs on the door five time and he hears a scream and a thud "Time to get up you two breakfast is ready" Marco calls loud enough to make sure to wake them

"We're up we're up" They say in unity

"Good" he called into the room. He heads back down stairs about half way to the stairs the door to Star's room open revealing a sight of two sleepy messes, Marco's shoulders start shacking as he clenches his abdomen

"Marco are you okay" Jackie ask

He looks at the pair of bed messes and his shoulders shack even harder "I'm fine" He gasps "I'm fine" he gasps he takes two deep breaths, he can't look at them "We are having french toast to day" with a lazy come-here finger "Come get your plate before it gets cold" he goes down stairs.

Jackie and Star stand there a bit puzzled "Does ...does ...Does Marco seem different to you" Jackie asked breaking the silence

"No he still seems to be Marco, why is he" Star asked

"I'm not sure" The pair goes down for breakfast. Breakfast was a comfortable silence after breakfast the three teens leave their dishes in the sink and goes up stair to prepare for school, take a shower, brush their teeth and they were out in time to catch the bus as soon as it rolls up

The bus ride on the other hand is annoying because this is when Star decides to whine about breakfast the fact that Marco served fresh steamed broccoli and carrots with french toast, [Star and Jackie are sharing a seat Marco taking up a whole seat to himself behind them] "You did eat your broccoli and carrots right?"

"Yes I did eat them, but why would you serve broccoli and carrots with french toast?" Star is hanging over the back of her seat

"You did eat all of them right?" Marco asked again this time sounding more threatening this time

"Yes I have" She huffs

"Good" With that the conversation is over

Star looks down at Marco with a raised eye brow, letting out a sigh in defeat she plops back into her seat next to Jackie, "Come on Star you're over reacting to nothing" Jackie place a hand on her shoulder. With that last bit the rest of the bus ride is peaceful all the way to school

Homeroom

Star and Jackie are being pummeled by question after question about what happen last nigh, so the girls tell the story Marco jumps in every now and then to fix or add something in the story "Well to make a long story short ran off with a Minotaur and now shes gone forever" Star finishes the story

"Star and Jackie rules" Justin shots and the rest of the class cheers surrounding the two teens, as the cheer and compliments roll Marco looks at the group rolling his eyes at them

Marco gets up from his seat "Gee thanks everyone, but actually Marco" She tries to pull Marco into the group but instead gets dragged away

"I don't want anything to do with that" Marco pointing at the group with his thumb shacking Star off of him. Marco goes and sits behind the teachers desk "Just so you all know Miss Skullnic isn't gone forever, if I have to guess she will be back in two weeks so until then I'll be teaching" Marco goes threw the desk pulling out Skullnic teaching plan

The whole entire class is in a state of shock with what just happen, the bell rings for the second period "I'll be seeing you all fifth period"
