After various spells, Marco's dark past that held his heart was gone and was replaced with a Shining Star.

Marco was running down the street at an impressive speed, while Star was swinging from lamp post to lamp post trying to catch up to him.

"Marco slow down! Don't overexert yourself." Star yelled.

"But Star, I feel great!" Marco called out as he jumped up and grabbed a lamp post and launched himself into the air, Star then smirked and repeated the action, but she missed, sending her flying, Marco then stretched his arm and caught her.

"Star are you okay?" Marco asked as he puts her down gently.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I guess I just missed the lamp post." Star said.

"I do think so." Marco said, Star then looked over and saw the melted lamp post, Star then puts on a panic look.

"Marco, let's go home now!" Star said as she grabbed her friend and pulls on him.

"Woah Star calm down." Marco said as he tried to slow her down.

"Yeah Star is that any way to treat an old friend." Star then stops and started trembling. She turns around to see a young man wearing a suit, but what really caught their eyes was then three-lens sunglasses, red skin, and horns sticking out of his head.

"Excuse me, but who the hell are you?" Marco asked, the young man then walked up to the two and Marco received a swift kick in the face.

"You have some nerve to talk to me that way, you peasant!" He said as he stops his boot on his head. "You will address me as Prince Tom Lucitor!" Tom said as he was about to stomp on his head again Star used her tail to stop him.

"Leave him alone Tom!" Star yelled. He then looks at her and grabs her arm. She then hissed in pain as he gripped it hard.

"You coming with me, Star. People like us don't need to be here." Tom said as he summoned a carriage and started pulling her in, but Star slips from his grasp.

"No Tom, I'm not going with you, I'm fine here so please just go away." Star begged. Tom then grabbed her by her hair and pulled her close.

"Have you forgotten so soon? Who was it that protected you from the mewmans, who was it that protected you from your family, I own you Star, you are coming with me now!" Tom yelled till he felt a swift, wet punch towards his face sending him flying into the carriage. Star then felt a tentacle wrap around her waist and pulled away. Star looked back to see Marco running away carrying her back to their house, Marco set her on the couch and closed the door.

"Marco, are you…"

"That was close, I almost lost it again." Marco said, Star was about to touch his shoulder, but he turned around, and Star got a good look at him and saw that he was bleeding.

"Star, are you okay?" Marco asked

"I'm fine, but what about you?" She asked

"This is nothing, I'm more worried about you who was that guy?" Marco asked.

"That was… Tom, he's my ex-boyfriend." Star said

"Well, he seemed nice." Marco said with sarcasm, he then noticed Star was trembling. "Star are you okay?" He asked

"H-how did he find me, there is no way that my parents will allow him anywhere near me!" She said to herself, she then got up and ran to her room, Marco tried to call for her, but all he heard was the door slam.

"What was up with that?" Marco thought as he went upstairs and towards his room.

-Meanwhile-

Star was trying to call her parents, but she can't get through to them, she tried many times, but they just won't pick up.

"Please, Please pick up daddy." Star begged. After awhile Star gave up and sat on her bed, hugging her knees.

'It's okay girl Tom doesn't know I live here, but he could find me, I mean I live in a pretty obvious tower, but maybe he'll think it's just some decoration, no he not that stupid.' Star thought she soon heard someone calling her breaking her from her thoughts

"Star!" Star looked up to see Marco with a worried look. "Is everything okay?" Marco asked. Star then started to tear up and grabbed him for a hug.

"Marco please don't let him get me!" She begged as she tightens her grip.

"Don't worry I won't." Marco said as he hugs back. Later that night Star was still a little on edge, even when she was around the Diaz family.

"Star, are you okay?" Angie asked

"I'm fine Mrs. Diaz, just not all that hungry, may I be excused." Star asked

"Of course, dear." Angie said, the family then watched Star go upstairs while they finished dinner.

"I wonder, what's been eating Star?" Rafael asked

"She's just going through somethings." Marco answered. He then noticed his parents staring at him. "What?" Marco asked

"Marco, you seem a lot different as well." Angie added

"What do you mean?" Marco asked

"Well you a lot more open and you seem to be more cheery." Rafael said.

"Huh, I guess I haven't noticed." Marco said as he got up, put away his dishes and went upstairs to get ready for bed as he made his way to the bathroom he looked at himself.

'Am I really changing?' Marco thought to himself as he started to brush his teeth.

-Later that night-

Star, wearing her black thermal nightgown, was getting ready for bed, she just needed to turn on her heater, but it wasn't working, she flips the switch multiple times, but it wasn't turning on.

"Oh come on!" Star complained as she kicked her bed. Star then looked out the balcony and sighed. She then used her wand to cover up the doorway to the balcony and got into bed as she did she tried to warm up but nothing was working.

"Oh, it's too cold!" Star complained, Star then got up and left her room, she suddenly slams open Marco's door waking him up.

"What's the matter Star?" Marco groggily said.

"Marco, can I sleep with you?" Star asked, which made Marco blush.

"Star, how could you ask that, I mean I'm flattered, but I don't think I'm ready for something like that." Marco said confusing Star.

"Sorry to bother you, but my bed's heater isn't working so I need your body heat to warm up." She explains.

"Oh, right, that what I thought you meant." He said

"What did you think?" She asked as she got in the bed.

"Nothing! Well, good night." Marco said as he turned around and laid down, leaving a very confused Star, she then got into the bed and faced away from him as well, but she still felt cold, she knew it was drastic but, she just needed to warm up.

"Hey, Marco?" Star asked

"Yeah Star." Marco replied.

"D-Do you think that you could hold me?" She asked. "I'm still a little cold, and I think that your body heat will help." She said

"A-Are you sure?" Marco asked.

"Please Marco." Star begged

"Okay, Star, but just for tonight." Marco said as they turned to face each other. Marco then wrapped his arms around Star and pulled her close, but instead of feeling uncomfortable, it was comforting, peaceful and warm, so warm that Star immediately fell asleep in his arms, as she did that Marco rubbed her back as he held her close.
