Right Behind You

Chapter 3

Stars Room

Stars POV

Twenty minutes. Marco has been gone for twenty minutes and I'm already pulling my hair out. Star looked at the clump of hair in her hand. Yeah maybe you should stop using your wand on your hair Star. She sighed. Well it's official, I've turned into a crazy girlfriend she thought as she readied herself to cast the All Seeing Eye. He's not even out of sight of the tower yet and I'm watching him!

"No.. no I'm not gonna do it" she stomped towards her mirror "call Pony Head"

Star waited as the mirror rang a few times and then "Hey girl! What's going on!" Pony Head grinned into the mirror, waggling her eyebrows "I heard about you and Tom! Sooooo what's the story, come on spill!"

"Hi Pony Head, um" Star stumbled over her words as the excitement built in her "Tom broke up with me because he thought I'd be happier with Marco"

Pony Heads face was a portrait in mock surprise "welll DUH! I could've told you that, girl did you not see how Marco was acting on Stump Day?"

"I guess I didn't see it because we were already so close" Star ventured

"Uh huh… right sure, what with leaving Earth and telling him you liked him right in front of Jackie. mmhmm. So Tom just like, dumped you because of Earth Turd?"

"Yeah, and at first I didn't know why and I was really torn up about it, but that's because Marco was missing too and I didn't know what the hell I was feeling and it all just got on top of me and.."

"Girl" Pony Head interrupted "Like i said, you are too messed up on that boy! But hey it turned out good, get you gettin' busy with Earth turd!"

Star blushed "Oh shut up" she laughed

"So what are you and Earth turd doing? Fancy a Goblin Dog?" Pony Head waggled her eyebrows again "Or have you had enough tongue meat for one day, if you know what I'm saying uh huh"

"Pony Head!" Star was beetroot red now "Marco isn't even here.. he.. he's gone on a quest for my mom"

Pony Head stopped her suggestive lip movements and stared at Star "Wait what? Marco is gone?"

"Yeah, he was kidnapped by Meteora and she did something to him, me and Kelly rescued him but even my mom wasn't sure what she'd done, she said it's important we find out what's going on and gave Marco the job of investigating. Since he's a squire and all.. and he wants to be a knight"

"Yeah we all know why he wants to be a knight don't we" Pony Head winked

Star was pretty sure most of her blood was in her face at this point "I'm worried about him Pony, he's never done anything like this before.. at least not on his own"

"Ah come on girl, Earth turd can handle himself! He's got that karatay or whatever it is, I dunno, he'll be fineeee"

"Yeah I guess so.. maybe I should check on him though, just to be sure" Star brought her wand up

"Nuh uh! He won't thank you for spying on him girl! Come on, let's get you out of there and do something fun! How about we go to the arcade dimension?"

Star looked down for a moment "Yeah.. I guess you're right, I'm just worrying myself staying here. I'll grab Marco's scissors and meet you there"

"Woah hold on girl, Marco left his scissors?" Star had never seen Pony Head look more surprised, and this was real surprise not the ridiculous surprise she put on earlier

"Yeah, he said I might need them, and he's not leaving the Mewni dimension on his journey, so he left them with me to look after"

Pony Head looked a little worried now "Well.. let's hope he doesn't need them then, considering what he went through to get them I'm just surprised he'd leave them anywhere. You obviously mean a lot to him.." Pony Head trailed off "He's still a turd though!" she laughed "come on girl let's go!"

"Okay, I'll be two minutes" Star smiled and ended the call. I didn't even think about him leaving his scissors with me.. She walked over to her dresser and picked them up, Marco's name flared brightly as she opened them slightly, her reflection cast in the blades and she furrowed her brow, I hope he doesn't need them she thought sadly, I'll feel terrible.

She quickly put her star purse on and concentrated on the arcade dimension, and with a cutting motion the portal opened and she stepped through.
