Chapter 28: First Day As A Couple
Saturday
Star woke up in her new bedroom that she conjured up yesterday with her wand, she yawned quite loudly, somewhat fatigued from her battle she had yesterday, she quietly sat up on her bed and walked off of it, happy that Ira healed her broken legs despite the process being slower for Ira only has one arm now. Star was rather grateful that he did healed her to begin with despite his unhealable injury because of the fact that you strangely can't reattach ripped limbs and heal them back, especially if Kassius ripped his arm off with wrathful intentions.
Nevertheless, our healthy heroine was now in her new room, fortunately her parents allowed her to stay at earth despite all the damage she's done, even though it wasn't really that bad per say, just a large amount of property damage and the near-death situations, but their was no mournful losses to be had, in fact it was the birth of a relationship that Star heavily wanted ever since her stay here, she was finally Marco's girlfriend, and she was happy for it, well or so she thought, literally after the battle (and after Ira mended Star's broken legs) her parents allowed her to stay on earth for a little while longer, especially if it was the love of two, one from Earth and the other from Mewni that defeated the Demon of Pride, that instance gained her parent's approval if Star was was being honest.
So our heroine from another dimension quickly got ready for her day, wanting to take a shower so she won't have to be as smelly as the tattered and dirty school uniform she had to wear when she was Saint Olga's, she sighed, relieved that she doesn't have to deal with that school anymore, well at least for the time being, she pondered to herself, Marco was finally her boyfriend, her cheeks blushed thoroughly by the thought of kisising Marco once more on the lips, how genuinely pleasing it felt it was, she wanted more, something that strangely weirds her out, maybe it was the fact that she was thinking of things she wanted to do with Marco almost as if she was being married to him or something, laughing to herself from the silly thought she continued on her business and cleaned herself up of her frizzled hair and rather sleep-trodden clothes
Alistair's Domain...
The Lord of Despair, the Bearer of Despair, the God of terror and the corrupter of heroes struck a new low in his time of being the Bearer of Despair, he pondered on his throne, no one around him, just a white light shining on him, he was alone, and he was fairly angry due to fairly recent events happening that did not help the God of Despair, the Bearer of Lust betrayed him so she can seek and obtain pleasure through making someone admits their feelings to one another, the Bearer of Wrath was redeemed by those two brats and so was the Bearer of Envy, the most loyal Bearer that Alistair has ever made, the Bearer of Sloth was redeemed due to a stupid egg.
Even the Bearer of Gluttony, the first Bearer of Gluttony Lord Alistair has ever made also left his master's side so he can find peace with himself, the Lord of Despair spat on the ground, thinking that Beezle was as useful as the piles of trash that he devours just so he can feed his many maws, the Bearer of Greed is dead and so is the Bearer of Pride and since Kassius was the one that had the ingredients to make life in the dark well, Alistair cannot revive them back to make them work even more so.
Lord Alistair contemplated what to do, silently wishing that Ludo had never gave him this task so that his Bearers of Despair will repent due to their sins, if Ludo never gave him this task he wouldn't be alone in his throne room, if Alistair never needed Ludo's help, Alistair would not owe the little green creature anything, and he wouldn't even obtain this task to even begin with. He growled loudly, he still wanted the death of Star Butterfly, he still wanted the death of Marco Diaz and he still wanted the wand, and now he wanted the death of his former Bearers too, he wanted their deaths, he wanted to show them why it is bad to betray your leader, and so the Lord of Despair pondered on what to do...
Earth: Diaz Residence
'Star Butterfly...' Marco thought to himself as our two heroes were prepping themselves for the day in the same bathroom, the two heroes standing next to each other of the two faucet bathroom counter, on Marcos side was an organized and clean, everything neatly in place, on the other hand, Star, using her wand was magically holding various objects, she was combing her hair, drying it and applying several other things to her beautiful golden locks, her side of the bathroom a complete mess compared to Marco's side, something that honestly annoyed Marco if he was being honest.
"Don't you have a system of organization Star?" Marco asked honestly to his new girlfriend that was also his best friend for he admittedly, was too afraid to call Star his girlfriend.
"I have a system, I keep my mess over there and I keep it there." Star said with an innocent smile as if having a mess was normal. Marco sighed, it was his greatest pet peeve, disorganization can lead to no progress whatsoever, something that Star needs to learn about, so with a very polite and sweet-sounding voice.
"Can you please clean the mess up?" He asked to Star, and after several moments of Star blushing from how soothing Marco's voice was, she nodded and said in a somewhat love-stricken voice.
"Of course Marco..." She said as several of the magically empowered objects were neatly set down on the counter.
"Can you please help with it?" Star asked Marco, Marco nodded in response, truly wanting to help his dear friend with some organization, for based on her mess that ranged from hair products and weapons made of iron and steel, she somewhat needs it, and so, together as a couple and team, they cleaned up Star's mess, the weapons were put back into Star's room, and the things that were actually used in the bathroom were kept in that room exclusively. Our two heroes continued to do this, and when they were done, Star openly, without a second thought kissed Marco on the lips, it was quick but great for the Mewnian Princess, and it was surprising yet wonderful for Marco, maybe due to the fact that someone was giving him some form of romantic affections even though he was the one that usually tries to get someone's attention.
After they got dressed, Marco wearing his usual red hoodie and Star wearing a rather pretty light green dress, our two heroes went to the living room, hands holding and smiles common on their faces, they pondered, what should they do today? Yesterday was literally the battle for their lives, and they felt the battle fatigue that always course through any fighter no matter who they may be. Our two heroes then settled on maybe on some breakfast first.
"Can I cook breakfast this time?" Star asked, truly wanting to make Marco something delicious for he always was the one that cooks breakfast.
"I didn't know you can cook, except with the wand..." Marco said, but Star quickly reassured her boyfriend, telling him that she can make breakfast, and make a delicious one at that. So then Marco waited in the dining room fully trusting Star can keep her promises.
"Do you need any help?" Marco called to Star, worrying that Star was struggling.
"Don't worry Marco, I can handle it!" Star replied, Marco quickly took note of Star when she said she could handle it, but maybe Marco shouldn't worry, Star could handle monsters and a completely new environment so she could probably handle making breakfast.
So then Marco waited patiently, wanting Star to take as much time as she needs, and after a few minutes of waiting, Marco began to smell smoke, and it wasn't the good either, not the smoke that you get by cooking or grilling but instead the smoke that can hurt your eyes quite strongly, and so in a worried Marco went into the kitchen, now fully believing that Star is now doing well. When Marco entered into the kitchen, what he saw was Star, frantically cooking in a panicked tone, especially with the burnt pancakes she made.
"Need any help?" Marco asked in a genuine tone for it lacks sarcasm and smugness, Star quickly turned her head to Marco in a surprised way and quickly shook her head, not wanting any help as she discarded the burnt and uneven pancakes. But then again, she really does need some help, she overcooked pancakes for crying out loud, and Marco is great at cooking so.
"You know what? Sure..." Star said, if you listen closely, you hear someone who's from another dimension swallowing their pride, and so, with the help of her boyfriend, Marco cooked some delicious breakfast, together, they cooked happily together, Marco giving Star some pointers of how to make proper pancakes and how long should they cook so they won't be burnt and how high the heat should be so the pancakes won't take an hour to make. Once the cooking of breakfast was complete, our two heroes sat in the dining room as they happily ate their breakfast that they made together, for some strange reason, food tastes a lot better if you cook with your love, maybe because of the fact that they're always a secret ingredient in the mix.
After breakfast, our two heroes pondered on what to do for the day, it was morning and early morning at that, it was just a normal morning for our two heroes, but it shouldn't, it's their first day as a couple, truly once in a lifetime and yet their doing the same thing they do every morning, get up, get dressed, get cleaned and cook and ate breakfast, the only difference here is that they did it together, they cooked a delicious breakfast together and they even got prepared for the day together, something that brought a smile to Marco's face.
"So what do you want to do today Star?" Marco asked, wanting Star to make a decision, for he honestly doesn't have any idea what to do today, they literally fought a arrogant demon yesterday that absorbed one redeemed one, and one that is related to Star in blood, the after-battle fatigue is fairly strong, Star pondered on what to do, and she got an idea, a brilliant idea.
"I know a great place that we can get some rest and relaxation!" She said ever so excitingly, Marco, curious, asked his girlfriend what is the place, but he automatically assumes the place is probably not on earth.
"And I guess we going to use a pair of interdimensional scissors?" Marco asked with a smile, knowing what exactly what Star is going too say. Star looked at her boyfriend and giggled, but shook her head, Marco wanted to admit that Star giggling was rather cute but he kept his mouth shut, Marco was surprised by Star not using or wanting to use the scissors, not expecting Star to know a place on earth, or at least a place that seem to expel rest and relaxation.
"Then where are we going then?" Marco asked, truly not knowing Star's plans
"We going to Isolation point, So we can spend time together without anyone else and all alone with each other, well we'll be alone in the forest but it's not like theirs anyone spying on us, does that sound good?" Star asked with a smile, Marco smiled back, actually kind of wanting to have some peace and quiet in a forest.
"Anywhere is good if I'm with you..." Marco said, he mentally high-fived himself for that surprisingly good line, Star almost laughed in response and quickly ran up and hugged Marco tightly and quickly kissed him on the lips once more, Marco hugged and kissed her back.
"I love you...Marco Diaz..." Star said with a smile filled with joy.
"I...Love you...too..." Marco replied with the same smile that Star had. And so they kissed once more, happy that they were finally with each other, happy that they can embrace one another and happy that they know that no one can pull them apart, no matter who's the opposition, may the opposition be a bloodthirsty corrupted monk that was a gargoyle and a bull , an envious uncle that was half-snake and half-mewnian, a greedy metal dragon that has an extreme sense of entitlement, a lazy anthropomorphic beetle knight or an arrogant lion-armor wearing girl that was obsessed with absorbing others that was mentioned beforehand. Our two heroes can handle it. They know so.
Elsewhere...
"What are you writing there Luxuria?" Ira asked the Former Bearer of Lust as she wrote on her journal, the Bearer of Patience and the former Bearer of Lust were at Ira's original dimension, they were in the monk monastery, and more specifically in the zen garden, Ira was meditating and enjoying peace until Luxuria visited for she won't feel alone.
"Oh nothing Ira, just some story inspired by the actual events you and I have witness and even attended..." Luxuria said batting an eye on the sitting Bearer of Patience. Ira took a moment to think about which event Luxuria is talking about.
"Care to elaborate Mistress Luxuria?" Ira asked in calm and collected tone.
"It's about two kids, despite not even being born on the same planet, despite being friends at first, they fell in love with each other through the many challenges that life threw at them, as long as they were together, no challenge seem impossible..." Luxuria said as she closed her journal. Ira slightly perched up, knowing exactly who's she's talking about.
"They defeated dragons, demons and monsters, and yet their hearts were pure of soul, to the point that they could purify other souls from becoming the things that they fought or cleanse their hearts of the demons they carried deep within..."
