Okay, so the hint I was talking about was actually more of an Easter egg and … does have an importance to the story but more for a character than the actual plot. That being said, if you don't know what it is after this chapter then don't go looking for it, it will be more of a surprise that way. Now to the reviews.

MasterTigress4444: Yeah that episode was great, and I already have Star's reaction chapter written but it needs to be proofed for errors.

MCPlayer26: Yeah that … wait a SECOND! Who broke my fourth wall!

SVTFOEfanatic: *Sigh* optimism, are you by any chance related to Phineas? The grudge is stupid though, I'll give you that. I love that waiting game, let's make it last longer this time!

Your Fellow Thespian: If your referring to the story Starco, then it's not necessarily a gender swap story so much as a body fusion story. As for the knight … well … make of it what you wish.

Bigmike33321: I'll have to check it out at some point then.

JW TS D: Well, unless something horrible happens then this story will have and ending, just you wait.

Snowdrop: Working as fast as I can to get the chapters to you in a timely manner.

H. Mae: Oh, just wait until you see his reaction later. Well Marcus was till shy when he first meet Star and Marco but he's gradually warmed up to them and become great friends with them that he opens up more. As for Tom … well … I like him as a villain, but I'm NOT shipping him with a protagonist. Ha, I plan to make a few of them real story *cough* the masked charro *Cough*

PureWishes02: Ummmmmmmm, aeiou. And don't worry about the Easter egg; you would have to be me or someone who is familiar with a few of my stories to get it.

Zues Killer Productions: Yeah, Roy's not going to be winning any elections any time soon. FIRE EMBLEM REFERENCE! You mean Toffee? I wrote a headcannon about his backstory on tumbler that will make you cry sweet tears of salty Mooffee.

acosta perez jose Ramiro: It might come back to bite him later, you never know.

tk97034057: Thank you.

JollyPayton: There is some background information that you would need to get in order to understand it, if you want I can point you too a few stories of mine that you might like that would have nothing to do with it.

MegaRocker101: Too late, already given.

Guest: In the show, Marco want's to protect Star, and that's not just from blood moon ball, he always wants to keep her safe, no matter what event though she doesn't need it, He is currently angry at her though so he doesn't want her around when he's protecting her, Stella is along for the ride because she loves to fight, as for Marcus, he was reserved and quiet because he was an orphan that not many people wanted to be around, when he meet Star, he started to open up and reveal his true nature. M&M? You mean the singer? I don't think he was in this story.

(Marco's POV)

We had all made our way back to my place and I had some serious considering to do. "Damn, I'm tired." Marcus said as he threw himself on the couch. "You know, I never realized this, but your house is a lot like mine …" He sat up. "I haven't been here before, have I?"

"Don't think so." Stella answered. "Unless Star invited you over at one point."

"Nope." Marcus replied. "She never thought to-" Marcus was interrupted by the sound of barking and laser fire as the laser puppies ran into the room. "What the heck?" Marcus asked as he sat up.

"They are Star's laser puppies." Stella answered. They ran around, zapping us, as Marcus took cover behind the sofa. "Afraid of puppies?" She asked jokingly.

"No." Marcus replied before ducking a laser zap. "I just don't want to get hit."

Stella motioned to one of them who was zapping her. "They aren't painful." She turned to me. "Tell him Marco."

I didn't answer, I just continued staring off into space; thinking about what I was going to say to Star.

"MARCO!" Stella exclaimed.

I turned to her, surprised. "Sorry, what was the question?"

"Laser puppies." She explained.

"Oh." I picked one up and petted him. "What about them?" She pointed to Marcus who was hiding behind the couch. "Oh, it's nothing to worry about Marcus, just don't let them hit you in the eye."

"Really?" Marcus said as he took a peek out from cover.

"They only want to play." I answered.

Marcus stepped out and knelt down to pet one. "They are adorable." He said before tilting his head to avoid a laser zap. As Marcus was petting one, another stared at him, and began growling; which was really peculiar. "Is that normal?" Marcus asked.

"Not really." I answered as I knelt down to look at the puppy.

The puppy zapped Marcus in the side and Marcus recoiled. "Ow!" He stated. "That stung."

"They don't sting." I said as I took a closer look at the one growling at Marcus.

It zapped Marcus again causing him to recoil. "Ow!" He stated again. "What's wrong with him?"

"You okay Bagel?" I asked.

"Bagel?" Marcus asked me as Bagel zapped him again. "I'm under attack!" He shouted as he ducked behind the sofa again.

"Haven't seen them do that before." I said as I watched the battle that was taking place before me.

"Yeah well it seems that Bagel doesn't like me." Marcus retorted.

Stella reached down to grab Bagel, but he jumped away and continued attacking Marcus. "Come here you." She said, as she tried again; only to end up with a similar result. "Marco, get Star, maybe she knows what to do."

"I'm on it." I said as I made my way upstairs. I rushed to her door and was about to knock when I remembered that she might not want to talk to me at the moment. I took a deep breath and gave the door a knock. After a moment of silence I decided to knock again, with sill no response. I finally gave up and grabbed the door knob. "Star?" I asked as I opened the door a crack. "I know … that were not on the best of terms right now, but Marcus needs help." I opened the door some more. "If you don't want me coming in, then say something now." There was still no response so I opened the door all the way only to find that no one was there. "Damn." I said as I took a quick look around. "Looks like she went out."

"WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU?!" I heard Marcus scream from the back yard. I looked out the window to see that he had run behind a tree in his attempt to escape Bagel; but Bagel wasn't letting up.

"Star's not home." I shouted from the window.

"So what am I supposed to do about him?" Marcus asked as he pointed to Bagel.

"Hold on, I'll be right down." I walked out of Star's room and down the stairs. "I wonder where Star went."

(Star's POV)

I was at the mall, wearing my new outfit that the members of my cult had made for me;. I was currently looking for Mathew, and decided that if he wasn't here then I might be able to find someone who would know.

"Star?" I heard someone ask as she almost fell at seeing me.

"Yes?" I replied as I turned to address them; it was a girl, not much younger than me, with long red hair.

"You're … you're wearing …" She began as she almost collapsed.

"You mean this?" I asked as I walked over to her, indicating the dress I was wearing. "This was made for me by some friends."

"I … I …" She stumbled back a little and caught herself on a wall.

"Are you okay?" I asked as I tried to help her.

"I … I'm fine, I'm fine." She got out. "I just … didn't expect you to …"

"Wait a second." I began. "Are you a part of the Cult of Star?"

"Me?" She asked nervously as she ran her fingers through her hair. "I … I'm not that important."

"Wait, you are?" I asked. She nodded. "Were you one of the ones who worked on this dress?"

She looked away nervously. "Oh, I … I didn't … I mean I helped but …"

"Really?" I asked excitedly. "Tell me."

She laughed weekly and looked away. "Well … I … made a basic design, but I'm not that good with my hands; so someone else had to put it together."

"Well I love the design." I replied. "And I wanted to thank you."

"You like it?" She asked as she began to get excited. "No, I mean …" She took a breath. "Thank you, I … I'm really glad."

She was silent, until I noticed that she was still nervous. "Do you need to sit?"

"Oh please." She replied instantly.

We made our way to the nearby food court where we were greeted by another member of the cult. "Star?" A guy wearing a skull t-shirt said as he noticed us sitting down.

"Would you like to join us?" I asked.

"Can I?" He caught himself and cleared his throat. "I mean … sure, I'd … I mean I'd love to."

Before long even more people showed up, and I had asked each and every one of them to join us. A few asked if I needed anything and I sent them to grab food for everyone, and I was asking others about how their day was going. "Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise." Mathew said as he came upon us.

"Hi Mathew." I replied. "Care to join us?"

"My pleasure … but … can I talk to you about something … in private?"

I was about to get up, but then I noticed a few people who looked sad that I might be leaving. "Is it that important?" I asked. "Why does it need to be kept a secret?"

He looked around, concerned. "Um … well …" He sighed then shook his head. "Roy's vanished."

Everyone went silent for a moment before I responded. "What do you mean Roy's vanished?" I asked.

"I mean usually he is surrounded by his underlings, and when he isn't, he's always leaves a time when he'll return to them."

"Yeah." Someone else replied. "I heard that his last update was supposed to be at noon or something."

"It's four." I replied. "He's been missing for four hours?"

All three tables fell silent, until Mathew took a seat across from me. "He's not one to not check in, especially not … now."

"Now?" I asked.

"Well there are the rumors about the sterilized silver and … well …" Mathew looked at all the tables then motioned to everyone else.

"Oh." I replied as I realized what he was talking about. "Wait a second, this is a great opportunity."

"How so?" Mathew asked.

"Well there are a lot of rumors going around about him already, and his disappearance only makes it easier to spread more." I smiled. "Maybe, for instance, the unholy ritual he performed on the silver backfired on him and destroyed his soul. Or maybe he abandoned his servants, which is something I would surely never do."

"I get it!" Someone shouted.

"Spread as many rumors about what happened as physically possible to make people stop believing in his heresy!" Someone else shouted.

More began shouting, and then some began taking off to spread the rumors. Before long, everyone had begun to move out, some stopped to bow to me before leaving and before I knew it, it was just Mathew and myself. "This is it Mathew." I replied. "This could be the end of Roy!"

"Exactly." Mathew replied. "And with no leader-"

"His members will flock to me like the precious lost lambs they are." I said sweetly. "I can't wait until his influence is gone."

"You should be worried Star, there's a possibility that it was the group that I told you about the other day."

"They're nothing to be worried about." I replied as I sat back. "Worst comes to worst, I'll take care of them myself."

He looked at me in amazement. "You'd … you'd do that for us?"

"For you?" I asked. "Well, yeah it would be for you guys as well, but I'm also implicated in this, right?"

Mathew was in a state of shock until he broke down and almost began crying. "Oh, thank you Star, bless you and your pure heart!"

"I'm just happy to serve my people." I replied with a smile.

(No one's POV)

(A while later)

Marcus was sitting with his parents at the dinner table eating his mother's home cooked lasagna. "So did you have a good day?" Marcus's mom asked.

"It was … interesting." Marcus replied. "But yeah, it was a good day."

"Glad to hear it." She replied. "They're ever so nice, especially that Star girl."

"So when do I get to meet her, Marcus?" Marcus's father asked. "I've been hearing a lot about her, but she only came over once while I was at work."

"She's not the type to hang out at someone's house." Marcus began. "She likes going on adventures and things like that."

"Sounds like someone else you told us about." Marcus's father replied. "A special girl with blond hair who loves excitement, now what was her name again?" Marcus felt a cold sensation come over himself, causing him to stiffen.

"I think it was Spirit." Marcus's mom stated.

"No, that what you call a horse." Marcus's father replied. "No, I think it was … Hope?"

"Faith." Marcus replied. "Her name … was Faith." He began playing with his food as he thought about her.

"You two were close, right?" Marcus's father asked. "I mean really close, but you never told us what happened."

Marcus sighed and put his fork down. "She … chose someone else."

There was an awkward silence for a time. "I'm … sorry Marcus." His father replied. "I didn't mean to-"

"It's okay." Marcus interrupted. "Like you said, I never told you before."

The awkward tension in the air was then cut by the sound of a small dog barking, from the living room. "What is that?" Marcus's father asked.

"No." Marcus said as he remembered earlier. "He couldn't have." Marcus got up and walked into the living room and sure enough, he saw Bagel standing right there, growling at him. "How did you find me?"

Bagel zapped Marcus, who recoiled, and his parents rushed over to see what it was. "A dog?" Marcus's mother asked.

"One of Star's laser puppies." Marcus answered as he pushed his parents back into the kitchen. "Bagel to be precise; and for some reason he doesn't like me much."

Bagel rushed into the room, bit down on Marcus's pant leg and started yanking at it. "I'm going to take him back to Star's house." Marcus said as he picked the puppy up, only to have it try and zap him again. "The sooner the better."

Firstly, OMG that you all so much for the reviews! This might be my first SVTFOE story but it's already number two for most reviews for all my stories (losing to 'Not better left unsaid' *hint* *hint*) and thank you all so much! Now for some more important information, if you didn't see the Easter egg in this chapter then like I said before; don't go looking for it or anything, it will come to you in time. Now I have to post this chapter and get ready for work at 8 in the morning.
