Star twiddled with her hair as Jackie stepped onto the bus. Marco may see her as girly, but she's actually just a nice skateboarding girl. He knew that though.

Jackie walked up to Star and sat down, Sabrina sitting in the seat in front of them.

"Hey girl!" Jackie said in her normal, cheery voice. When Star didn't answer, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Star sighed, looking up to see Sabrina's green eyes staring at her.

"It started when I left for Mewni Saturday..." Star began nervously, noticing that she didn't sound regal. She didn't care. "And I erased all memory of me from Earth, also meaning I erased all magic. When I came back it was restored though.

"But something magical stayed. It's a locket, a gift to the Butterfly Family from the Blood Moon. A—"

"Wait a second, Star." Jackie cut Star off, an excited and astonished look in her eyes. "I've read that myth! The Blood Moon binds souls together for all eternity! Of you said it gifted your family with a locket, it's must involve true love, right?"

Star gave a surprised nod.

"That means if the locket stayed on Earth, your true love was near by. And the only one near you was Marco Diaz the Bad Boy!!!" Jackie finished with jazz hands and a huge smile.

Star raised both eyebrows before giving slow, regal clap. "You are very smart Jackie. And yes, it's around Marco's neck until... Well... I kiss him. Then the binding spell is complete."

Jackie gave a gasp. "You should ask him to the Nightwing Dance! It's girls choice, you know."

Sabrina finally cut in. "The dance is in two weeks and lots of girls like Marco. You should ask as soon as possible." Then she rubbed her twisted wrist. "It's only a matter of time before you're done."

As she said that, a girl named Emerald ran on the bus. "Oh Marco! I've got something to ask of you!"

Emerald had bright green eyes that countered her name and long, bright ginger hair. She was pale and freckles splashed across her face. She had on a green dress with ruffles at the bottom.

The whole school knows she has a crush on Marco. And now she was making her move.

She finally reached the back of the bus and literally pushed Janna and Oskar out the way. Then sat beside Marco and grabbed his arm, hugging it tightly.

"Will you go to the Nightwing Dance with me?" Emerald asked.

"Emer—" Marco began only to be cut off by Star.

"No you can't because he's going with me!" Star exclaimed before covering her mouth.

Marco instantly had a red face.

Emerald huffed and stood up from her seat. "You can't just hog him Butterfly!"

"I'm not hogging him he chooses to be with me as I choose to be with him," Star said, her regal voice giving out.

"As much as I love drama," The bus driver called out suddenly, "You two need to calm down. And sit down.

But he was ignored.

Emerald went on. "You were forced on him! That's why he didn't like you before! That's why he doesn't like you now!"

Before Star could say anything, Marco stood up and walked over to Star, wrapping one arm around her shoulders and pulling her close. His lips curved in his troublemaker smirk.

"Actually, I do want to go with Star, Emerald. Now please move from that seat so my princess can sit there."

Star felt her face flush from their proximity and him putting "my" instead of "the" in front of Princess.

Emerald pulled her arms to her sides and puffed out her cheeks. Her face was red from embarrassment and anger. She stomped once, twice, six times before walking away from the seat.

As Marco guided Star to the seat he cleared, she witnessed people groaning and passing money to and fro. Oskar and Janna included.

"Marco, why are people passing that green paper?" Star asked.

Marco's face flushed and gave a cough, sitting her down before plopping beside her. "You don't wanna know."
