"MARCOOO! I'M SOOOO BOREDDD!" said Star.
"And my arm is broken! We should do something if you're bored!" replied Marco.
"But what if Jack gets back? We'll miss him."
"Oh my god stop whining and just call your mum already!"
"Oh good Idea, I'll do that now!" Star ran up the stairs to call her mum.
"Now she listens." A few minutes later Star came back down the stairs looking confused.
"My mum said that Jack left hours ago and she hasn't seen him since."
"Wonder where he went. I thought he would have come back here. Let's ask my mum if he checked on us last night."
"Mrs Diaz! Can I ask you a question!?" yelled Star
"Yes! What is it?!"
"Did Jack come home at all last night?!" Mrs Diaz took a while to answer but when she did she said.
"Uh...No, he didn't. Why do you ask?"
"No reason!"
"Star I'm going to go have a chat with my mum." Said Marco. When she hesitated he got the feeling that she was lying to him and Star about it. He walked up the stairs and into his mums' room where she was cleaning.
"Oh hello son, what do you want?"
"Did Jack show up here last night?"
"I already told you no he did not." Mrs Diaz said without making eye contact.
"When did he show up?"
"He didn't."
"What did you say to him? Don't say he wasn't here because I know you're lying to me." Mrs Diaz went to say he something put she stopped herself and looked down.
"Yes he was here last night. He got back at about midnight and I told him to leave."
"Why?"
"Because ever since he got here you've come back injured twice. Once when he first arrived and know with your broken arm. On top of that he always hurts Star and makes her cry. I just wanted to protect you."
"Well did you consider the fact that it would hurt Star more to find out he left?! Did you consider that?"
"Not really."
"Well then do you have any idea where he went?"
"No. He just walked out the door." She said. Marco sighed and walked out the door talking to himself.
"Great. Just great. Now we need to go find Jack again and last time that happened I broke my arm. God dammit."
"What do you mean we have to find Jack again?" asked Star. Marco hadn't heard her walk up so he screamed.
"Dammit Star, don't scare me like that!" said Marco
"Okay but what do you mean we have to find him again?"
"Well he did come home last night but my mum told him to leave because she was concerned that we were going to get hurt. I don't blame her, if that happened to my kids then I would lose it."
"Does she know where he went?"
"No. We have no idea where he is but maybe Biscuit knows, she's his dog after all."
"She probably would but she's gone."
"What do you mean gone?"
"While you were upstairs she somehow opened the door and ran down the street."
"And you weren't watching her?"
"Hey! I was thirsty!"
"Okay then we, now have no way to find him." Marco said.
"Knowing Jack it would have been near impossible to find him anyways." They heard a knock at the door and Star ran down the stairs to get it. She swung the door open hoping to see Jack but no one was there. "It was just one of those ding-dong ditchers again Marco!" she yelled. She turned around and someone grabbed her.
"Surprise." He said. Star screamed.
"Let go of me!" she said while struggling against him. "Marco help me!" she yelled. When he didn't come to her aid she kicked the intruder in the shin and made a break for the stairs. She had only made it halfway up the stairs when her ankle was grabbed and she fell over. She turned to see who the intruder was and saw a familiar face.
"Oh my god Star, your face was hilarious!" said Jack.
"Jack! Don't do that to me!"
"It was pretty funny Star." Said Marco from the top of the stairs.
"Why didn't you help me Marco?"
"I went upstairs and told him what I was going to do before knocking on the door." said Jack. Star scowled at them.
"Barbarians! All of you!" She said before walking up the stairs past Marco and into her room.
"What gave you the inspiration for that one Jack?" Asked Marco
"I heard some people talking about this thing called Halloween while I was walking back here, I asked them what it was and they said it was the time of year when kids dressed up in costumes and went trick or treating."
"So why the sudden interest?"
"Well after what your mum said last night I decided that we needed to do something as friends."
"Well that does sound good and Halloween is only two days away, let's tell Star." Jack and Marco walked up the stairs to Stars room. When they walked in the door she popped out and grabbed Jack.
"SURPRISE!" she yelled causing Marco to jump, but Jack on the other hand didn't even flinch. "How did that not get you? It was the perfect plan!"
"Well first off I was expecting it and secondly I am one of the best warriors in the universe so I'm hard to catch off guard."
"Dangit, you used to be really easy to scare."
"Well not anymore. On another note would you like to go trick or treating with me and Marco on Tuesday?"
"What's trick or treating?"
"It's when people dress up in costumes and go around asking people for candy." Said Marco. Stars eyes lit up.
"You mean all you have to do is wear a costume and people give you free candy?" she asked
"Pretty much."
"Then we are totally going! Maybe our friends could come with us too!"
"I don't see why not." Said Jack.
"YES! I'm going to find a costume!" Star ran into her closet and they heard her rummaging around inside.
"Let's go Marco, I lived with her for 11 years so I know she's going to take a while." Said Jack. They walked out of Stars room and into Marcos.
"What are you going to go as Marco?"
"Not sure yet but I'm thinking of a ninja. What about you?"
"Probably a knight."
"Cool, I better start finding stuff for mine."
"I can just summon one for you if you like."
"Ok, but we'll do that on Tuesday."
"Sounds good."
(Ludo's Castle)
A portal opened before Ludo and Toffee and Buff Frog hopped out of it. He stood at attention in front of them in the dimly lit throne room.
"Master." He said. "I have information that may help us steal the wand."
"Spit it out then."
"I have heard about an Earth holiday called hall-o-een. At this time of year all of the people dress up as monsters and go around collecting candy. It would be the perfect cover for an attack, no one would notice us."
"Yes that would be good, but that darn Frost said he would bring his rage upon us if we attacked Star."
"Ludo I think I have a better plan, one that they can't track down to us." Said Toffee.
"Well then spit it out! Let me hear it!" Ludo said. Toffee leaned over and whispered in Ludo's ear. Ludo smirked evilly "Yes, that is perfect. Use their friends against them! Now go talk to your ally, we must get ready for this Hall-o-een." Toffee smirked and pulled out a pair of pitch black dimensional scissors. He cut open a portal and stepped through into a dark solar system. One that housed a dark star that gave off no light. On one of the planets a huge dark figure that radiated pure evil stood. It turned when it heard a portal open.
"Hello Бахус, what brings you back here?" it said in a deep voice that echoed across the plains.
"A plan to rid you of the Frost line once and for all"
