Dave was finally learning how to use his sword from Glossaryck. He was finally able to get it to appear when he wanted and was now focusing on how to fight with it outside since the weather was finally nice again.. Glossaryck was happy to finally have a student that actually listened to him while Star and Marco sat back and watched.
"Ok that's it for today Dave." Glossaryck said stepping up. "You've made a lot of progress and on your way of becoming a great knight."
"Thanks Glossaryck." Dave said.
"Just remember the sword is an extension of you, and shouldn't just be seen as a weapon." Glossaryck explained further.
"So now can we go have some fun?" Star said jumping up.
"Star we should be going over more about your wand." Glossaryck stated. "Especially since it's finally back together again."
"But that's boring." Star said slouching over. "Can't we just do it next week since you were training Dave at the same time you train me?"
"Fine." Glossaryck said knowing there was no way to win with her. "As much as I love you Dave, can you take it from here? I don't want her using this excuse again."
"Yeah I think I have the basics down." Dave replied smiling as he made his sword vanish. "I'm sure I'll be a master at this in no time."
"Good well see you kids later." Glossaryck said as he disappeared.
"So what do you guys want to do today?" Dave asked.
"There's a restaurant having karoke tonight." Marco suggested. "Jackie said she was too busy to go, but since Dave likes to sing maybe that would be fun to do."
"That sounds like a great idea." Star said. "No one else has got to hear you sing besides me so it could be a lot of fun."
"Sounds like a plan." Dave said smiling. They went back inside to watch tv for a few hours. Once it got close to the time Marco told them they left together to head for karoke.
"You know we should really have another movie night." Dave said starting conversation. "I like just laying around and watching movies with friends."
"Sounds good, but next time let's not watch a series like that with Star watching." Marco said remembering last night.
"Oh come on it wasn't that bad." Star said trying to defend herself.
(FLASHBACK)
"HE JUST TOOK OFF LUKE'S ARM!" Star yelled shocked. She wasn't expecting any of the things that happened during Empire Strikes Back, and Dave and Marco were starting to rethink their decision to watch Star Wars while everyone was trying to get some sleep. "FIRST HE KILLS HIS FATHER AND NOW THIS?! WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE SO EVIL?!"
"Obi Won never told you what happened to your father."
"He told me enough. He told me you killed him." Dave tried to go for the remote while the line was going but just before he could reach it ….
"No. I am your father." Dave and Marco both looked over at Star knowing what was coming next, but had no idea how loud it would be.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Star yelled louder than Luke did in the movie waking the whole neighborhood.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
"My favorite part was when you had to explain to the cops why you yelled no at the top of your lungs so late at night." Dave said trying hard not to laugh.
"Ok so I didn't get the memo that Vader was his father. I'm sure I'm not the first one to react like that." Star said remembering explaining to an officer how shocked she was.
"How bout from now on when we watch a series like that we just watch it in the studio in Dave's house?" Marco suggested. "That way we don't have to worry about something like that happening again."
"Sounds good with me." Dave said. "I completely forgot only Star and Janna have seen my place so far. Maybe we should hang out at my place one day." As they went on they finally got to the restaurant and looked through the song books to find a song they would want to sing. Marco was obviously too nervous to sing even though he was looking through one of the books, and Dave and Star were busy looking one of the books to find a nice song each of them would want to sing.
"Hey Dave is this a good one?" Star said pointing at one of the ones in the book.
"Why are you asking me?" Dave asked laughing.
"Cause you're good at knowing music and I want to know if this is good." Star explained. Dave took a look at the song and saw what Star was asking about.
"Well it is a good song, but it is a duet." Dave explained.
"Oh could you sing with me then?" Star asked.
"You want me to sing that with you?" Dave said a little shocked but feeling like Star planned on singing with him.
"But you said it was a good song." Star said begging. "And Marco is already scared to get up on his own."
"Hey I'm right here." Marco said looking up from the book he was holding.
"Well it's just I don't really sing that much outside of rock so I really wasn't expecting this." Dave explained.
"Please Dave I promise I'll even sing whatever song you want after that's over." Star begged one last time. Dave was trying to say no, but Star gave him a sad look making it really hard to tell her no.
"Well I guess it wouldn't hurt to try something new." Dave said giving up.
"Thank you Dave." Star said writing it down and handing it in.
"Does she do that to you?" Dave asked Marco.
"Every once in a while." Marco said. "I think she does that to everyone though and not just us."
"Yeah that definitely sounds like something she'd do." Dave said realizing Star was great at getting her way most of the time.
"Ok we're up." Star said as she ran up to grab his arm and lift him up.
"Already?" Dave said surprised.
"Yep no one else put in their selection so I guess we're up first." Star said as she dragged him to the stage.
"Geez I wasn't expecting us to be the ones to start karoke night." Dave said as he let Star lead him to the stage to get ready.
"Good luck you two." Marco said smiling. "I'll be sure to watch." Marco got up and went to sit at a table to watch them sing. He didn't get to hear the song Star had selected for them so he was anxious to hear what she picked for her and Dave. As he got his seat the announcer came up to start the show.
"Hello everyone welcome to karoke night at Gray's, I'm you host Gray Cornel and tonight we start with two new comers. Please help me welcome Dave Mercury and Star Butterfly who are performing "Two Is Better Than One"."
Dave and star both got up on stage and were welcomed with cheers including Marco clapping for his friends. Star had a huge smile as she waved to everyone and grabbed the mic, while Dave looked calmer as he got ready by grabbing the mic and waving to the audience. The music started and Dave got ready to sing since the male vocals started first.
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought hey
You know, this could be something
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing
So maybe it's true that I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
Dave looked over and waited for Star to start. He was expecting to see the way she looked at him, but was even more surprised once she started singing.
I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes, the way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing
Then maybe it's true that I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
Marco wasn't expecting to see how they looked at each other while they were singing. As the song went on they moved closer to each other and were now face to face looking into each other's eyes. "Wait are they going to…."
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, hey (hey, hey)
Maybe it's true that I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking, ooh, I can't live without you
'Cause, baby, two is better than one
There's so much time to figure out the rest of my life
But I've figured out with all that's said and done
Two is better than one, two is better than one
After the song was over everyone began to cheer. Marco started clapping along with the crowd. Dave put down the mic and continued to look at Star.
"I'm pretty sure they loved it." Dave said smiling. He was surprised when star didn't say anything back and just kept looking in his eyes. Before he could say anything he was cut off with her lips kissing his, which made the crowd cheer even louder and made Marco shocked that they really did end up kissing. After they broke the kiss Gray got back on stage.
"Well this is definitely a first for karoke night. PLEASE GIVE IT UP FOR DAVE AND STAR!" As the crowd continued to cheer Star and Dave finally walked off the stage and over to Marco's table to join him.
"That was so much fun." Star said excited at what just happened. "You were so amazing up there Dave."
"Thanks Star." Dave replied. "But it was great because I had you to sing with up there."
"Thanks but you're obviously the better singer." Star said still smiling.
"So does this mean you two are a couple now?" Marco finally asked after that shocking kiss.
"After that I'm pretty sure we are." Dave said laughing. "I still can't believe you did that Star."
"Me neither." Star said. "It just felt like something I should do."
"Well it definitely our performance so much better." Dave added as he grabbed her hand making her smile.
"Hey kids you did a great job out there." Gray said as he went to their table.
"Thanks Mr. Cornel." Dave said.
"Please call me Gray." Gray replied "I was wondering if you'd like a recording of your performance of tonight. We usually offer a price, but after your amazing show you deserve it for free."
"YES PLEASE!" Star yelled excited to hear that. Gray took down Dave's email, and emailed him the copy of them singing. Dave checked his phone to make sure he got it, but decided to watch it after the show to see the other performances. After watching for a couple of hours the three of them decided to head back home. As they were walking home they finally played the video of them singing.
"See I told you that you were great up there," Dave said as him and Star were walking together.
"You're still the better singer though." Star said holding his arm. Marco just looked on not able to say a word as we watched the both of them. Eventually they got back to Marco's house and walked to the door.
"Well this was a fun night." Marco said opening the door.
"Are you staying with us again Dave?" Star asked.
"Sorry but I'm going to head back to my place for the night." He explained. "But I'm still up for hanging out at my place next week with everyone if you want."
"That sounds like fun." Star replied smiling. "Right Marco?"
"Oh yeah right." Marco replied as he was caught off guard still thinking about them singing.
"Well then I'll see you Monday then." Dave said.
"See you Monday Dave." Star sauud before giving him a kiss goodnight making Marco surprised again. He couldn't explain it but he felt weird watching them kiss. After that Dave began walking home, and Star went inside with Marco.
"That was the best night ever." Star said thinking about what had happened. "I need to tell everyone what happened." With that Star ran up to her room.
"Ok goodnight Star." Marco said before she vanished. She was too busy thinking about Dave to reply to him though. Marco went up to his room, got changed and laid in his bed thinking about everything that had happened. He thought about how happy Star was, and also that kiss he saw. "At least she's happy now." Marco said thinking about how excited star was. He hadn't seen her that happy since him and Jackie got together. "Why do I feel this way though? I should be happy for them shouldn't I?"
A/N: Hello everyone hope you're enjoying your holidays, and hope you have a great new year. It finally happened Dave and star are a thing. You have no idea how hard it was picking a song for them to sing together. I eventually picked it because it reminds me of how Star and Marco are always together, and how they need each other no matter if they're going through the things in our world, are in another dimension having a crazy adventure. Also yelling "NOTICE ME DISNEY!" apparently paid off cause one of my reviews was apparently from "Disney". If you're reading this Disney thanks for noticing me, but now I don't know what else to say cause I didn't expect to get this far. I guess now i just ask about if I can have a job. Also does anyone else think that song would make a great Starco amv? Someone should either make that, or tell me how to make one cause I think it could possibly be good. Anyways now that Disney apparently noticed me, I need a new phrase to put at the end of my chapters. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to say them. Since I don't have one yet I decided to answer some reviewers since you've been sticking with my story for so long.
Bookwormreader- thank you for your encouraging words, and hope you enjoyed this chapter.
SJMT shipper- I do ship Tom and Janna together, and can't wait to see them interact with each other. Also I'm a guy if you were still wondering.
Crow's Apprentice- thanks for telling me Dave is awesome. It means a lot to hear how great of an OC Dave is.
PorcelanaRota- thank you for telling me I capture the characters so well in the story. That's exactly why I want to be a writer for a series someday.
