Hidebashur13: Good to know. Yeah, I didn't think it'd be a good idea to change the names.

Ravangel: Thanks. They're both nineteen.

Star's Keyblade4114: Yeah, Zach has some issues too.

Enjoy the third chapter.

Zach stood next to his father in his pajamas, clutching a pillow in his arms. Marco knocked on the door and waited. A moment later, the door opened and Moon stood in front of the two. Marco sighed and shook his head, "T-thank you for watching my son, Mrs. Butterfly,"

"Of course, Marco, it's no problem at all,"

Marco nodded before he knelt beside his son and slightly smiled, "Okay Zach, I'm going to go out with Miss Star and some of her friends for a while. You be good for Mr. and Mrs. Butterfly, okay buddy?" Zach frowned and nodded before hugging his father and Marco rubbed the top of his head.

Marco stood up and handed Moon a folded-up piece of paper, "My…my number, just in case something happens…and he's allergic to peanuts, so if you decide to give him a little snack before bed, can you make sure there are no-"

"Honestly, dear boy, I know how to care for a child," Marco frowned and nodded, "But I do have one question. What is with that pillow Zach is carrying?"

"That's his pillow, he can't sleep well without it," Moon nodded as she took Zach by the hand and led him into the house as Star walked out of the house.

Star closed the door and looked at her neighbor and slightly smiled, "So are you ready to go meet my friends?" Taking a deep breath, Marco rubbed the back of his neck and slightly nodded, "Don't worry Marco, my mom will make sure nothing happens to Zach, and you said that your ex has no idea that you and Zach left California,"

"Right…shall we?" Star hummed and nodded as the two young adults walked over to Marco's vehicle.

Star and Marco walked into a restaurant and Star grabbed Marco by the hand and led him to a table. The four young adults looked up and the young man with red hair smirked, "Well, it's good to see you're on time, Star," he looked up and arched a brow at Marco, "So this the guy?"

"Yeah…everyone, this is my ne neighbor and friend, Marco Diaz, Marco these are my friends Janna," the young woman with blue hair nodded and Marco nodded back, "Lilacia,"

"What's up, boy," the pink-haired woman smirked and Marco waved.

"Okay, and then there's Oskar and finally Tom," the three nodded at each other before Star and Marco sat down across from the four.

The five friends talked amongst themselves while Marco sat silently, staring at his phone, "Uh…dude?" Marco looked up at Oskar in confusion, "Do you have a hot date or something? A girlfriend waiting at home or-"

"No…it's just…worried about my son," the four looked at him in confusion and Star frowned, "I…I have a 2-year-old son and Star's parents are watching him for the night…I'll be honest, this is the first time someone outside of me watched him since-"

"Wait…is his mother dead or-"

"Janna!"

The four flinched as Marco sighed and shook his head, "It's a long story and…from what Star told me, you guys get together on the weekend to have fun, and I don't want to ruin that with something so down bringing," Star leaned closer and lightly tapped him on his arm, "What's wrong, Star?"

"Maybe…maybe you should tell them," Marco arched a brow and Star inhaled deeply, "I'm just saying it might be good. You'll have more people on your side if your ex decides to try and file for custody again and-"

"Not going to happen. She was using heavy drugs and from the looks of it, she has no intention on getting clean, and even still, I don't think she has a steady job," Marco looked up and shook his head, "Look, after I saw my son trying to climb into an oven and his mother sitting on the couch with a needle in her arm, I took my son, filed for full custody and we moved here from California today. I'm just a little concern about Zach and his safety, and I hope everyone here can understand why," the table fell silent and Marco shook his head, "I'm sorry to bring the room down, but…hey, Star said this is a time to unwind from the week and-"

"And what? Your…girlfriend? One-night stand? What?" Janna questioned.

"Ex-girlfriend,"

"Ex-girlfriend," Janna nodded, "Was doing drugs and allowing your son to climb into an oven, so you did what you had to, who blames you for taking your son away?"

"She does, my parents, her parents and her siblings…they think I'm in the wrong for doing what I did, when in reality my parents knew Jackie was doing drugs and they didn't have the common sense to take Zach away from her or even tell me. So I filed for full custody, and Jackie lost all rights to contact Zach. I told my parents that day to stay away from my son."

The table fell silent and Marco sighed as he shook his head, "Sorry…I didn't mean to bring the room down like that,"

"Heh, I'd say," Oskar chuckled and shook his head, "But, I guess it's good you got your son away from that drug addicted woman," Marco looked at the greasy young man and narrowed his eyes, "What? I'm just saying that-"

"If you talk like that in public, someone might hear you, call child services and getting them off my back is going to be near impossible and if they take my son away, I'd know whose ass to kick,"

"Whoa…take it easy, buddy…I was just saying,"

Star sighed and rubbed Marco's back as Marco took several deep breaths and shook his head, "Look, I'm sorry, but…just…don't talk like that in public, I don't want child services knocking at my door and threatening to take my son away,"

"Dully noted," the four said in unison, "We won't bring this up again," Marco nodded as the six young adults began making light talk.

Just a simple filler. As always enjoy everyone and please let me know what you all think.
