So I've noticed that one-shots nowadays are getting shorter and cuter, so I thought I'd try it out. Finnjr63, it's time to put your request into action! Also, SEASON TWO PROMOS! WHAT'S A SMOOCH BUDDY!? But first, to the reviews.
LeleB123: I'm glad someone caught the reference! Songs been stuck in my head for a while so that kinda made its way into the one-shot. Glad you enjoyed!
Finnjr63: Thanks man, much appreciated.
Exotos135: *Uses witty undertale reference* Glad you enjoyed, and thank you.
Red the Pokémon Master: Thank you for your input, but I don't think it's necessary for me to change the rating to M. It might open doors I never wanted open in the first place.
Power Master Story Writer: I'm glad you got a kick out of the chapter! I might continue it eventually, we'll just see what happens.
GuestSorta: I'm sorry, what? Are you referring to Cheswick the Butler? If so, then no, it was not Stanford. I like your eagerness though.
Thomas: You're ironic guest name is ironic, because yes, it was based on the Maze Runner!
GodLegend: I see your logic there, but may I remind you, he wanted to stay by her as a friend, not in a romantic way. Glad you enjoyed 'Brah'!
Guest#1: Indeed it was, good eye.
Guest#2: Dang indeed.
Sorry if this happened a little later than you'd have liked, I had this done a few days ago but I've been a little busy with my collaboration with Lucafire1 (which you should check out!) And school has deregistering not been helpful alongside work. But whatever, no more dribble drabble, let's get into it!
Thanks a million to Altruisticdorito for Beta reading! Now let's begin!
"No..."
A sparkling dress, coated in sequins flew across the room, landing in a pile of other fabrics. Swiftly emptying itself of air upon impact.
"No..."
Another one. This time made of a bright red and thin material, highly resembling lace, just not as transparent. It landed a little astray from the pile, but still managed to lands in its general area.
"Come on... There's gotta be something good in here!"
Multiple dresses flew into the air, now flying in whichever direction seemed fit, they were thrown with great speed and frustration, creating a rather large mess throughout the room. From within the depths of her closet, Star Butterfly emerged. Her blonde hair waved and glimmered in the bright light, her eyes complimenting the look with their electric blue shine...
Is what I would say, if A) She didn't look like she's been digging through a mine for the past hour, and B) If the curtains in her room were actually open. Most of her night was uneventful, as far as she could tell anyway, she'd been cooped up in her room for so long that the outside world kind of faded off at about 2:30 a.m.
Star rubbed the heel of her palms against the bags hidden under her eyes. She yawned cutely, like a puppy that's stayed up late with its owner. She blinked a couple of times before walking in the direction of her window, and by walking I mean... dragging herself across the floor with a single arm.
Star stood up lazily, reached out to the curtain and pulled it back, allowing light to strike her in the face and pierce her eyes like daggers. She fell backwards at the sudden attack on her pupils. "AUGH! Come on!" she yelped, using her forearm to shade her sensitive orbs. She got back up and peeked out the window with squinting eyes. The sun sat in the center of the sky, big and white, serving it's purpose as... Well, the sun.
"Mid-day? Auuuuuuuuurrrrrggggggghhhh..."
Star let herself fall backwards once more, this time landing in the large pile of clothing. A sound that highly resembled a 'pumph' went off. "What am I gonna doooooooooo?" she mumbled to herself half heartedly, the lack of sleep was starting to bug her.
A sudden knock at the door snapped the princess from her thoughts, as she lazily turned to look at the door. "Come in!" she yelled, trying her hardest not to sound like she'd been awake for half the night looking for a dang dress!
The door creaked open and a bright red hoodie was the first thing to catch Star's eye. Next came dark brown hair and chestnut eyes, complimented by a mole on the persons right cheek. "Hey Star, you okay? Sounds like you've been up for a while." The boy stepped inside the and shut the door with his back to it, making a light 'click' and it sat inside the frame. "You missed our horror movie marathon last night."
She just sighed and pushed herself into a sitting position, holding herself up with her arms. "Yeah... Sorry..." Star took a quick look around her room, which was mostly the same brightly-coloured, fortress of solitude she'd grown to love over the months, aside from the scattered pieces of clothing on the carpet. She turned back at the boy and scratched her cheek lightly.
"I dunno Marco... I was up for quite a bit last night, trying to find a dress to wear..."
Marco walked down next to Star and took a seat at her side, crossing his legs and leaning his head in her direction. "Uh-huh. And why's that?" he asked, a small smile curving on his lips. Star fell back again, letting the fabric strewn about her floor comfort her in her time of need.
"I can't say…"
Marco put a finger to his chin and rubbed it thoughtfully as he gazed downward, trying to find a solution to this predicament. He sat there for a few moments before Star decided to join him in thought, placing a palm against her cheek to think a little more clearly. Several minutes went by, just the two of them thinking about how they were going to solve Star's dress issue. Moment after moment, second after second, nothing was happening and quite frankly, it was starting to get just a tad boring.
Star's eyes suddenly lit up in realisation, her head turning to Marco.
"Heyyyy, Marco?" Star whispered, leaning over with a suspicious smile on her face. Marco looked towards her in confusion, taking his head out of his hand. "Yeah Star?"
"You don't have any plans today, riiiiiiiiiggggghhhhhtttt?"
Stars grin was almost face-splittingly big as Marco leaned away from her to get a little space, "Nooo... Why?"
"Well... I was just wondering… if you could…"
Tension built in Marco, waiting patiently for Star to answer her sentence. She turned away a little, her eyes shifting to the corner of the room as her hand returned to her face to lightly itch it.
"Tell me how I look in these dresses?" she asked, pouting her lips in an adorable manner, one that the young lad was yet to become immune to. He grimaced at the thought of this, what if his parents came in unexpectedly and got the wrong idea? He could get in some serious trouble…
He turned back towards Star, her eyes starting to water lightly. He knew they were fake tears, but he could never say no to that face.
Marco chuckled softly and let his head fall forward, "Alright, I'll do it." Star lit up with glee and began to shake her hands next to get face in excitement. She launched herself at Marco and wrapped her arms around his upper torso, pushing their faces against each other in an affectionate hug.
"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" She squealed in joy. Marco just smiled and rolled his eyes, enjoying the act of kindness. Star eventually let go and ran off into her closet, her energy seeming to burst back into life.
"I'll be right back! I just need to grab a few things before we start!" she exclaimed from the depths of her clothing cave. Marco blew his hair out of his eyes and looked out the window, a peaceful expression falling upon his face. "I spoil her..." Then he turned back towards the closet, where he heard Star giggling and 'Woohooing'. He laughed at the thought of what crazy things she's capable of.
"But… its worth it." He whispered.
Time skip quote: "I've never felt so ALIVE!"
Marco walked out of Stars room and dusted his hands clean, an accomplished grin on his face. "I'm gonna head for the shower Star, okay?" he called through the door.
Star was looking in the mirror at her new piece of acquired clothing, a sea green fabric with a puffed out bottom, showing half oval shapes of the same color in a darker shade. She wore snow white boots on her feet with her usual striped leggings. She spun around on one toe to get a better view of the dress, admiring it with a small one sided smile.
"Star?" Marcos voice broke Star from her admiration as she turned to her door to reply.
"It's fine Marco! Go have your shower, I'll be right here if you need me!"
"Alright then." His footsteps door quieter as he stepped further away from her room, becoming very faint as he reached the end of the hallway. Star listened out until she heard the bathroom door open and shut, and then she snickered evilly while running her palms together.
"Time to put the plan in action…"
Star reached into her purse and pulled out her dimensional scissors, holding them high like they were a sword pulled out of a stone. She then slashed then across the space to her right and opened a portal. Before she crossed through the portal, however, she took a deep breath through her nose, and exhaled slowly out of her mouth. "Show time…"
Star stuck her head into the portal and saw nothing but a black void, the only object in sight being a video camera in the distance. She looked into the lens with a wide smile and exclaimed in a singsong voice, "IM BAAAAAAAAAACCCK!"
