Chapter 6

Two brown eyes fluttered open to a sight that was both common but new to them. Their in the young teens lap lay a young blonde girl still asleep after the events of the day before. Marco yawned quietly and looked around the room. Both teens were laying on a couch in the living room. The room was similar to the Diaz household living room but also change quite drastically.

The room now had a larger couch in it, two large chairs and a large TV in front of them. Star had made the room for Her and Marco so that they could enjoy their friendship Thursdays like they use to back on earth.

Marco stayed on the couch looking at her beautiful yet tired face. Marco wished for it to never end but it dawned on him that he had training. Marco thought to himself "Welp great, I guess life always moves on," Marco sighed and laid there for a few moments until the blonde girls eyes fluttered open. She yawned

Marco still staring just wrapped his arm around her and whispered. "Good morning mi princesa." Star sat up and pulled Marco into a hug. "Good morning Marco!" Marco gasped for breath. "Thanks Star, so you ready to begin the day?" Star nodded. "Okay you want me to go make some breakfast?" Star nodded again. "That would be great Marco!" Marco walked out of the room.

Marco walked down to the largest of the four kitchens of castle. The chef of the kitchen had given Marco a small work station that he could use when ever he pleased. This was mainly because Marco preferred to cook his food himself.

Marco walked over to his station and got out the needed ingredients to make Star her favorite food. After ten to 15 minutes the food was done and he returned to the living room. "Aw Marco you shouldn't have. You made my favorite." Star ran up to Marco and gave him a hug along with a kiss on the cheek as he set a plate of pancakes on the coffee table. "No problem Star, Sorry but I have to go get ready for training." Star shot Marco a sad look that caused Marco to frown. "Sorry Star but I have to train other wise I can't protect you." Star gave him one more hug before he walked out of the room.

Marco once again was in his room trying to decide what to wear. Marco looked around the room and decided to just wear his normal clothing that he always wears to training. Marco put on his armor plated hoodie and pants. He grabbed his boots and sword. "I guess this will have to do for now." Marco walked out of his room.

Marco passed by the throne room and noticed a distinct lack of foreign dignitaries or townspeople. Marco walked into the room and bowed before Queen Moon and River. "Good morning my queen and king." Moon waved at Marco. "Marco, there is no need for you to be formal with us your Stars most trusted adviser and best friend. You are almost family dear." Marco blushed at how upfront the Queen was. "Thank you Moon but there's one more title to add to the list." Moon looked at Marco with a confused face. "And what might that be Marco." Marco thought about it for a second before replying. "I think it's best for Star to tell you." Moon nodded and waved goodbye to Marco knowing that he probably had training to get to.

Marco walked out of the front gates of the castle and into the streets of Mewni. Their he saw the usual pigoats and other animals. Marco also noticed that all the shops where open this time and that the streets were busier than usual. Marco finally makes it to the knights barracks.

Marco walked through the maze of rooms until he reached the training room. Their Higgs and the rest of the knights were waiting . 'What took you so long loser." Marco rolled his eyes at Higgs comment. "I was making breakfast for the princess." Higgs walked up to Marco and gave him a glare. "So you put off training just to make your girlfriend some breakfast." Marco shrugged his arms. "Yeah pretty much." Higgs was taken back by this. "What no comment on me calling the princess your girlfriend. Tired of hearing it?" Higgs smiled but Marco just laughed. "Yeah no comment other than it's a fitting title now."

Higgs was taken back by the statement. "So… you and the princess are dating now?" Marco nodded his head. Higgses eyes filled with rage. "Of course you would. I should have known you would have tried to use the princess to try and get above everyone. Hell you were already trying." Higgs unsheathed her sword and swung it at Marco. All Marco could do was stare in horror as Higgs got visibly more angry. "Higgs what the hell are you talking about?" Higgs didn't even respond she just continued to strike at Marco. Higgs finally landed a swing and blood splatter from his left arm. Marco eyes went red and his hand glowed read once again. Marco grabbed Higgs by the throat and pushed her up against a wall. "Higgs Stop your going to do something you'll regret." Higgs just smiled. 'I'm the one who's going to regret it? NO Marco you will regret it!"

Higgs grabbed Marco by the arm and threw him on the ground. Higgs sliced Marcos torso and arms repeatedly until Macro shot off a large ball of red energy. The blast pushed everyone in the area back. Marco quickly pulled out his sword and transformed them back into scissors. Then Marco quickly cut the air and jumped through a portal. Marco closed the portal right as Higgs had jumped at him. Marco breathing heavily slowly took in his surroundings.

Marco was in a red room with a large bed, a TV and a bunch of video game related items spread throughout the room. On the bed lay a demon teen who looked at Marco with a worried face. "Marco what's wrong? Are you Okay!" Tom rushed over to Marco and put his injured arm on to his shoulders. Marco looked at tom with a beaten face. "I'm fine Tom, nothing that I can't walk off." Tom gave Marco a worried look. "Dude look at yourself! You are fare past fine, you look like you just went through a blender." Marco laughed at the comment. "Hey Tom do you know anything that could heal my wounds." Tom thought about it for a second before speaking in some form of latine. The room begin to shake and Marcos cuts begin to glow a dark red. The wounds burned and sizzled as they healed.

"Thanks Tom that feels a lot better." Tom nodded and then looked Marco dead in the eyes. "So… who did this to you." Marco took a deep breath. "Higgs, one of my fellow knights did this because apparently she thinks I'm using Star as a way to benefit myself." Tom shot Marco a confused look. "What makes her think that." Marco shrugged. "I guess the fact that, When she asked me why I was late. I responded by telling her I made Star breakfasts and she then she barked. "So you were making breakfast for your girlfriend." Tom didn't flinch at Marco for saying that last bit so he continued.

"I then responded with. Yea pretty much." Marco continued to think and then settled on what to say."Somehow that made her snap and she started to jump to the conclusion that I was only using Star to better myself." Tom looked at Marco to make sure he was okay and then asked. "So… are you and Starship dating." Marco nodded his head and tom ran up to him and patted him on the back. "Took you long enough." Both friends smiled and continued to talk for awhile. "Please don't tell Star. She already has enough to worry about. She has the kingdom, her parents, monster equality and so much else. I feel that I'm already asking so much of her."

"Okay bro I won't tell but if that happens to you again you better tell her." Marco shrugged. "I can't, this is something I need to face on my own and Star has to train me so she has enough on her plate." Tom thought about what Marco just said. "What do you mean by train you." Marco sighed and then let the energy flow through him. His hands glowed red and his eyes shined a dark red as well."

"Marco you… you can use magic!" Marco nodded. "Well you just keep coming up with surprise don't you." Both Marco and Tom laughed. "Before you go I want to tell you something." "What is it Tom?" "Listen Marco a wise friend once said "Duty before self" but you also must remember that you have limits. Promise me and everyone, that you will take care of yourself." Marco sighed. "Tom I will, I promise." Marco took out his dimensional scissors and walked back through a portal.

Marco stepped back out into the castle. He was in the living room but it was missing one very important thing. Star was missing, she had probably gone and gotten ready for the rest of the day and she was probably preparing for training.
