Epilogue 6: Duty (CENSORED VERSION)
Star approached her husband in the throne room. He was going over notes from the last Gathering of Nobles.
"My King?"
Star liked to start conversations with him this way if it was an official royal matter.
Marco looked up and smiled. "Yes, my Queen?"
"Just a sec." she said holding up one finger. "Guards. I must speak with the King in private. Please wait outside the throne room."
The guards saluted sharply before departing the throne room in a swift but orderly manner.
Star could feel his curiosity through their heartbond. She concentrated to mask her true feelings for the surprise.
"I have a job for you Marco. A royal task."
"What is it, Star?"
"A creature is coming. When it gets here, it will make ruling Mewni kinda hard. Taking care of this creature is a job for the King. We call this task the King's Duty."
Marco's face turned serious.
"Alright, Star. I'll tell the Royal Guard to get ready."
"Not so fast there, Marco. This is *your* job.
"I wasn't gonna just send the Royal Guard. I was going to lead them."
"I know. But I what I mean is that no one else can help you. You have to take care of this by yourself."
"Oh. Okay. I've fought one-on-one before. I guess I'll have to fight this creature by myself too."
"This job isn't exactly a fight, Marco."
"It isn't?"
"How do I put this?... You just have to calm the creature down."
"Like, tame it? This sounds like a pretty weird job."
"This creature is special. It's not just an animal. It's wild and aggressive. But it can think. Kinda."
"How do you know all this, Star?"
"This is sort of a recurring thing. The creature has shown up before. My mother asked my father to do this job. Before that, my grandmother asked my grandfather. My great-grandmother asked my great-grandfather. My great-great-grandmother asked my great-great-grandfather. My great-great-great-grandmother asked my great-great-great-grandfather. My great-great-great-great-grandmother asked my great-great-great-great-grandfa-"
"I think I got it, Star."
"Anyway, Marco, now I'm asking you."
"Okay. But, if this is a periodic problem, why is this the first I'm hearing about it?"
"We don't mention the king's duty until it's time. It's a really important job, but it's also kind of private. I'm the only one who'll ever thank you for doing it."
"Star, I'm not your king because I want to show off. I'm your king because I want to be with you."
Star smiled.
"So where do I find this mystery creature?"
"When it shows up, you'll find it in its lair. It's really close by."
"Okay. But how will I know when it shows up?"
"Oh, believe me, you'll know."
A 'pwip' sound was heard as a purple heart appeared on Star's face.
"Star?!"
"Marco. The creature… is me." Star said with a grin. "I'm about to start having Mewberty relapses."
"Oh, no! Are you going to be okay?! What do I do?! You're not about to go collecting boys again are you?! And why are you smiling?!"
Star giggled as more hearts appeared on her face.
*p-pwip-pwip-pwip*
"Now, why would I care about boys when I already have a mmmaaaaann?" Star slurred the last word and the irises of her eyes turned into hearts. She blinked and they returned to normal.
*pwip-p-pwip-pwip-p-p-pwip*
"I'll take care of you, Star. I promise. You'll be okay. I'll do anything to help you. It will all be okay. I'm here for you. But… why is this happening?!"
Star reached for Marco's hand. Her whole arm turned purple when she touched him.
*p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pwip*
"Because..." She grabbed his hand and pressed it lightly against her belly. "...Magic."
She stopped masking her happiness and let Marco share in it. Purple hearts sprinkled from her skin. She caught a few in her other hand and threw them into the air like confetti.
"Congratulations, Marco." she said as she smiled. "It's a girl."
"Star…" Tears formed in Marco's eyes as a smile spread over his face. He wrapped her in his arms.
She tilted her head to accept his kiss. Happiness and love radiated between them. It filled their soul. Purple hearts sprang from her skin.
When their kiss ended, Star's face around her mouth was covered in purple hearts. She looked like she had been in a pie eating contest.
They both laughed.
"How do you know we're having a girl?"
"I can already feel her royal magic. Our baby is the next Butterfly heir." Star said as she squeezed him in their embrace. A small pile of delicate purple hearts was beginning to form around their feet.
Marco squeezed her back. "Oops!" he said before he loosened his arms.
"Don't worry, Marco. We're not that fragile." she said as she traced star patterns on his chest with her finger. Purple hearts sprang from her fingertip where it touched him.
"And now, because of the royal magic flooding my body, the creature is waking up. And that's where you come in, my king."
Marco's eyebrows rose.
"The creature… it has certain needs, you see. It needs to be soothed and calmed. It needs to be tamed. It needs the comfort of its mate. It needs love."
A look of realization formed on Marco's face.
"Star…"
"Please, Marco… I need you." she said huskily.
A drop of sweat appeared on his brow. He looked like he was about to explode. He managed a smile and a nod.
*pwip*
After she gave him a less than subtle grope, Star pulled away with a sultry laugh. The tip of her tongue wet her lips as her eyes darted up and down over his body.
*pwip-pwip-pwip-pwip-p-p-pwip*
Her voice took on a tone that was regal and at the same time seductive. "Oh, my. It appears that the creature will arrive sooner than expected, my king. Therefore, as Queen of Mewni, I hereby command you to find the creature in its lair in about ten minutes."
Star turned to leave the throne room but then paused to look back at Marco over her shoulder.
"Don't wear anything… complicated." she said with a lecherous grin.
After Star had departed, Marco took a moment to collect himself. They were having a baby girl. His heart was still leaping for joy. He was going to be a father.
But for now, he only had a moment to reflect on this. He had urgent orders from the Queen. And it was his duty and pleasure to serve.
It was very quiet as Marco approached the doors to the royal quarters. He wondered what awaited him in the creature's lair.
He opened the door to find the inside of the room covered in deep piles of purple hearts and vines. They spilled out of the entrance like he had opened the door after a snowstorm.
"It's only been ten minutes!" Marco thought to himself as he waded into the room. He now realized that the first time the creature emerged was only a preview.
Despite the piles of material, he managed to close and lock the door.
There was a cocoon in the room. It had already opened and was empty. The royal metamorphosis was already complete.
He ventured further into the room. "Star? Where are you, Star?"
The creature stood and emerged from beneath the debris. Purple hearts fell like flower petals from her naked body. The winged creature looked silently at Marco with glowing heart shaped eyes.
A smile appeared on her face.
"Mmaarr-cooo."
In the blink of an eye, the creature had pounced upon him. Together they fell into the fluffy piles of purple hearts.
Marco just realized that he should have undressed beforehand. He would have to apologize to the royal tailor later. His ripped clothing might be beyond repair.
The arrival of the Butterfly princess was heralded by a cry and a falling star.
"She's here, Star. You did it. She's beautiful."
"Marco... Please let me see her. I need to hold her." Star said exhausted.
Marco sniffled as he placed his daughter into his wife's arms
Star looked down at the tiny person in her arms. This miracle that was theirs.
"Hello little one. I'm your mommy and I love you." Star said as she began to weep for joy.
Marco smiled and kissed Star on her forehead.
