the wookie- haha it sounds like a child trying to say marco. or an anime of some sort. and not, not really as cute or catchy as starco. im glad i was able to catch his character pretty decently. he seems like the type that would overact and complicate everything.
IDC1314- of course it is sara, our love of stories is what makes more stories and more adventures to fall in love with! haha thank you so much for your kind words. i wouldn't go as far as to call it best but i am happy you enjoyed it so. haha awesome i can't wait to see how it comes out.

skeptic potato- while i am a musician, i am not a guitarist. Honestly i based it off of my friend who does in fact own a 5 string guitar they aren't common and they're not really preferred. should've looked into that but oh well. and for the lyrics, i honestly just tried to hear the song instead of looking it up but diego luna's voice, as great as it is, was just a bit too much accented for me. oh well we live, we learn and we try again. glad you enjoyed the stories.

This place had nothing that could be used as illumination to pierce thick and slithering coils of the darkness that blanketed the land. Majority of this place was just rolling endless darkness, shifting shadows that made the eternal night seem alive, a monstrous being rather than just a concept.
Nothing thrived here in the dead silence. There was nothing of notice or worth here.
Except the valley.
It had appeared out of nowhere. Millions and millions of years of silence, of pitch and inky darkness, of everything as a unified singularity ruined by those stupid crystals.
A large mass formed into this world when the darkness wasn't looking. Crystals of every shape, size and color blending together. They weren't just in clumps, no no no they were the faces of the valley that towered high into the sky, the smooth paved trails and hills that ran up and down, this way and that inside its walls. diamond shaped columns of varying shapes and sizes that grew everywhere in every direction! And they were bright, their extreme mixture of colors just too much to bear. The very meaning of chaotic.
In truth it was not as majestic or as large as the darkness made it to be. The valley was a speck, an insufficient concept in the grand plan that was the night. If it was formed out of intention or some strange cosmic convenience was no matter. If it had a true purpose of existing or rather was born by utter accident was of no consequence. It was here and it ruined the uniformity of the darkness.
It must be destroyed.
Except it couldn't be.
The darkness tried its hardest to wipe away the valley, attempting eliminate the threat with its entire being, absorb it into the individuality that was the dark.
But the valley refused. The valley did not, would not go back into the inky night from whence it was born and try as it might, the darkness could not reclaim its entirety.
The darkness then tried to destroy it, using its power, its limitless strength to simply quash it back into the shadows. And it worked!
Sorta.
As a whole the valley was impervious to the darkness but with enough force, enough pressure the darkness found he could rip away pieces of it, separate chunks of it and send those spiraling into the abyss. And the darkness worked gleefully at this task, chipping and ripping away from the valley with everything it possessed!
But the valley provided to be a troublesome foe. Whatever was ripped away, it regrew. Whatever hole was left within its surface, it filled in. Whatever was lost was made new once more. Even if it didn't quite look the same, even if the shapes weren't exactly the previous shape, the valley simply replaced whatever it had lost.
And if that was not bad enough, another valley appeared and another and another and ANOTHER! Valley after valley, crystals of endless colors appearing throughout this place, this ocean of night! Similar in shape, similar in colors, similar in structure but none every quite the same. The darkness could see the subtle differences. Maybe it was a splash of red where another had a blue in its place or, or maybe it was the fact this valley's crystal grew sideways as opposed to this other one's growing at an angle! And the worst part? The absolute worst part? Most did not know there were other valleys! Most were unaware there was more valleys like them, scattered all about!
The darkness was infuriated, angry, resentful. It just wanted everything to be as it was before, a perfect, unified singularity. Not this chaotic mess of disorder!
The darkness picked at all the valleys, it ripped what it could, destroyed whatever it could grasp and it didn't matter if this was futile, it did not matter if this was pointless, the darkness didn't even care if it lost in the long run, if it never truly destroyed the valleys. It simply wanted to destroy what it could as long as it could. Be it piece or sometimes an entire valley if it was lucky, it would continue to oppose these disorderly valleys, destroy those that sought to disturbed his existence for as long as it took! Until time itself ceased to be!
"STAAAAAAAR!" Marco cried, holding onto his best friend's waist for dear life, trying to ignore the icy cold air brushing against his face, the churning of his stomach and the large silhouetted figure standing behind them.
What started as a simple outing to get some food quickly escalated into the duo running for their lives from some sort of shadow man through a dark and rather terrifying forest.
Marco knew he shouldn't have let Star convince him to make a small pit stop at this "itty, bitty dimension for some rocks." Now they were running through some forest being chased by...well Marco wasn't entirely sure who he was.
Marco peered backwards, the jolting of the unicorn's gallop making his stomach feel like it was trying to throw itself out of his body. Marco could feel his face pale at the sight of their pursuer. There was just something about him he didn't like.
The man looked like he was made completely out of shadows: his cloak, his hood, even his limbs were completely silhouetted. The only thing that wasn't was his eyes, two white specks staring at Marco from under the hood, far and distance like stars. The same eyes that seemed to focus on Star and himself only.
Marco gulped, looking forward, trying not to get angry at Star's elated cheers of joy.
"Star, we're being chased by a mad man for some stupid rocks!" Marco complained but Star scoffed him away.
"Please Marco, he's not after us. He's just standing there, being all creeper like!"
Marco opened his mouth to say more when something shot passed him, nearly taking off his ear in the process.
It was a slithering, dark tendril with a razor sharp looking spade at one end.
"STAR!" Marco yelled, trying to contain his panic at whatever the hell that thing was.
Star frowned "Okay so maybe he's more monster than creep."
The tendril lunged directly at Star who blasted it lazily with her wand, nervously chewing magical item while she tried to think of anyone she might've accidentally angered with scary shadow powers.
"Star, what did you do to that guy?!"
"I did not do anything Marco" Star scoffed, rolling her eyes at Marco's accusation.
"STAR BUTTERFLY!" the man called from behind, his star-like eyes narrowing in anger as he waved his hand in their direction.
The shadows behind became thicker, almost alive as more and more tendrils shot from the dark, all eagerly seeking out the two best friends.
"Weeeeell that I'm aware of!" Star nervously chuckled, gently patting her pale white unicorn Pickles to speed it up.
"Star! How many times have I told you not to..."
"MARCO DIAZ!" the man cried with a hint more anger than his voice held for Star. Even the tendrils seem to pick up their pace once his name had been called out.
"HA! What did you do to the guy Maaaarco?"
Marco was flabbergasted. He's never done mean to anyone in his life! Sure he was a little battle crazed on occasion but he was certain he has never met the scary shadow man before.
"M-me? I didn't do anything! I don't even know how he knew my name!" Marco let out a yelp, ducking just in time to avoid being pierced by the spade appendage.
"Riiiiiight. Yeah I don't believe you." Star teased, cheerfully blast any shadow thingy that got too close with pink flower lasers.
"He called your name first!"
"He said your name madder!"
"Madder is not a word!"
"Do you read the Mewnian dictionary?"
"Well...no."
"Then it's a word" Star nodded in triumphant.
Pickles took a sharp turn, the wave of darkness narrowly missing skewering his legs as he neighed annoyingly at his riders.
"Fine, let me see one"
"See what?" Star turned to Marco, letting confusion pour out onto her face.
"The Mewnian dictionary" Marco said with a hint of smugness "Let me see it."
Panic began to set into Star's face as she awkwardly chuckled, waving his request off "psst nah, there's no point."
"Why? Because there is no word madder?"
"What, no that's not it. We really should go home." Star pulled the dimensional scissors out, hastily cutting open a portal only to have two tendrils stab the swirling vortex and shut it closed before anyone could do anything to stop them.
Star and Marco stared blankly at what they just witnessed.
"Staaar." Marco began slowly
"Yeeeeah I didn't know you could do that either."
Star and Marco let out a unified "Eep!" When the tendrils caught up and began trying to impale them. Marco and Star stood up, shifting their weight and ducking, weaving and dodging the shadow man's attacks.
"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" the shadow man called out from seemingly every direction.
"WHAT DID WE DO TO WARRENT THIS MUCH HOSTILITY!?" Marco cried in a panic, dipping his head just in time for the tendril to miss his skull but cutting off one of his trademark spikes.
"NO" Marco whined "Not my Marco spike!"
Marco reached forward to pummel the offending shadow limb the only to be pulled back by Star at the last second.
"Marco!" Star blasted a group of tendrils away with her signature narwhal spell "I need you to focus! I can't fight them off and use the scissors! Here!"
Star thrust the scissors into Marco's hand as she closed an eye, focusing before letting loose several dozen razor sharp hearts slicing several attacking limbs into ribbons. But many more began to replace them hurriedly.
"Star, be careful" Marco fumed "You nearly gutted me."
"Marco, this not the time!"
Marco rolled his eyes, stabbing the air and pulling downward, opening a new portal that the shadowman promptly shut once more.
Marco turned back to face "COME ON MAN! WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU!"
"Marco, I can't keep this up" Star murmured fearfully, rising a pink butterfly shield just in time to intercept another assault.
"Star, Star can't you supercharge the scissors? I mean its a magical item, your wand is magic. can't it make, I dunno, it more powerful?"
Star's hearts became light bulbs, a wave of understanding overcoming the young princess
"I know! I'll supercharge the scissors! It should work! I mean it's magic and the wand is magic. I'm brilliant."
Marco stared at her, unable to believe what he was hearing "A genius"
"Thanks!" Star aimed her wand directly at the scissors, praying to anyone who was listening to help "Magic supercharge blast!"
The pair closed their eyes, the bright rainbow shimmer too much for them to handle.
The shadow man shrieked in pain as if the wand was somehow hurting him.
Marco opened his eyes first, holding up the cutting tool that now was packing a tiny car engine on the back of it.
"I wasn't sure what I was expecting."
"MARCO!"
"right, right!" Marco cut the air quickly, flying into the sky when the portal sprung to life above them, a massive vortex that was easily the size of the elephant.
"Whoa!" Star shouted when she began sailing into the sky against her will. Pickles neighed happily before taking off into away from these crazy humans with Star calling after him "BYE PICKLES THANKS FOR THE HELP!"
Star closed her eyes when she passed through the portal, the angry and vengeful screams of the shadow man making her really wondering what she did to the guy.
Star let out a happy shout when the portal spat her out directly ontop of Marco.
"ugh...Star, get off" Marco muttered, straining to get the princess off of him.
"But you're so cushy!" Star leaned forward, staring directly into his face "you sure humans aren't made out of pillows?"
"STAR! Get off!"
"Nah, I might take a nap!"
Marco grunted, catching Star off guard when he lifted her off of him and gently placed her back on the ground.
"Wow Marco, you're getting preeeetty strong."
"Star" Marco whispered, his eyes darting all around "Where are we?"
"Huh?" Star finally took notice where they were.
It was pure white: White ceilings, white floors, white walls. But that wasn't the strangest thing. No the strangest things were the various, adult sized mirrors that hung carefully on the walls. Each mirror was the same but the frame around them were wildly different.
Star saw a cowboy frame, a steampunk frame, one that was composed of microphones and even one with some sort of light sword.
"What is this place?" Marco said, taking a step forward, the vast room not even echoing his footsteps. He spotted a few frames: One that had the Greek comedy and tragedy masks, one dotted with 7 X's, a skull and crossbones hung over one and he was pretty sure he saw one was covered with ice and another that had a beanie on it.
"I..I don't know."
"Can you find a way out?"
Star bit at her wand, unsure if she even could figure what was going on.
Star was blinded by a pink light that appeared from nowhere.
Star glanced down and was surprised to see that it was her wand that was source of the mysterious light.
Star held out her wand, her wand's light fading away when she pointed in one direction but growing brighter when she tried another.
"I think my wand can lead us out! COME ON MARCO!"
"STAR!" Marco shouted for what felt like the 50th time today as Star raced forward, bolting ahead without waiting Marco to respond.
Marco ran after her, trailing behind her, not close enough to stop her but not far behind to lose her.
"Star slow down!"
"Why don't you speed up Marco?" She teased, sticking her tongue out playfully at him "or are you just taking it safe? Which is it safe kid?"
Star let herself form a grin on her lips, Marco's enraged face just too cute. She just couldn't resist pushing his buttons.
"GET BACK HERE PRINCESS" Marco yelled, suddenly picking up rapid speed and slowly closing in on Star.
Star let out a happy giggle, pushing herself even harder to avoid what would probably be a tickle attack by Marco.
"Sorry Safe kid, still too slow to catch me!" Star yelled behind her, turning around a corner and...
Blam! Pain filled Star's forehead as she collided with something hard and thick with enough force to send her sprawling backwards onto the floor.
"Oww..." Star moaned, rubbing her pain racked forehead gently "What hit me?"
"Star! Are you okay?"
"Yeah" Star said softly "I'm okay."
"Marco! Are you okay?"
Star's eyes popped open, confused why she just heard her voice ask if Marco was okay.
"Marco?" Star asked quietly, twisting her head to get a look at the hoodie wearing boy "Did I just hear my own voice?"
Marco made no effort to respond, his jaw hanging low, his face full of shock.
"What are you staring at?" Star muttered in annoyance. She looked forward, her jaw dropping and her face matching Marco's
Because in front of her was Marco, sitting on her butt in the exact same position Star was.
Except it wasn't Marco. Well he looked like Marco with the same shade brown eyes, same light brown hair. Though this Marco was still different from her Marco. Her Marco didn't wear a black beanie with a cartoon skull with its tongue sticking out. Nor did her Marco have two suns painted on either cheek almost like her own hearts. This Marco wore a bright red shirt with a yellow star in the middle, black khaki pants with countless pockets and zippers with black hiking boots that looked just like Star's own footwear.
"Staaaaar" other Marco whined "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?"
A shifting of a head caught Star's gaze and she followed the movement for an even bigger surprise.
It was her! Standing there, staring in disbelief. Well not her, Star was Star but this...well she looked like Star but ugh! she was dressed differently than Star. The other Star had her long blonde hair tied in a ponytail, she wore black thick framed glasses. Where her hearts should be were instead a several small freckles. Over her body was a baby blue hoodie that would've been the exact same as Marco's aside from the different colors. She wore a dark blue skirt with matching leggings and sneakers.
"I see it. I'm not sure if I believe it but I see it."
"Well" the other Marco said, getting to his feet slowly "This certainly tops our top 10 weirdest things that happened us list."
Other Star looked at him, eyebrow raised.
"Even weirder than that dimension with the dogs that had human faces?"
the two stared blankly ahead before shuddering in disgust at the memory.
"Okay maybe not that weird but close." other Marco replied
"Who are you?" Marco questioned, helping Star to her feet while taking a defensive position.
Other Marco narrowed his eyes, watching the two carefully "I was about to ask you two the same thing!"
"Right, sure you were and I'm the prince of Mewni" Marco joked.
Other Marco stared at him "I am the prince of Mewni."
"Whaaaa?" Star and Marco responded, turning to one another to make sure they both heard the same thing.
"Why are you so surprised?" Other Star chimed in, suspiciously staring at Marco and Star "You're clearly just some sort of dark magic copying us."
"You think?" other Marco asked, hand hovering over his side.
"They must be, why else do they look like us?"
"HEY!" Star cut in "You look like us! You're the dark magic copy cat thingys!"
"Everyone" Marco took a step forward "Everyone just cal...a...achoo!"
The other Marco jumped, startled by the sudden noise. His hand shot to his side, pulling up some sort of weapon.
Star reacted instinctively, rising her wand to defend herself and Marco.
"Narwhal blast!"
"Walrus Blast!"
Other Marco and Star were stunned when the wands shot their respective aquatic mammals, the two animals colliding in midair before exploding in a glorious display of red and blue sparks.
Other Marco's eyes landed on Star's wand, uncertainty in his eyes.
Star looked down at the magical item tightly gripped in his hands. It was a red wand with a circular top, the outer layer of the circle as red as the hilt but the inner design a beautiful combination of white and gray colors, some stars scattered about with the black comet as the symbol in middle. Instead of fluffy white wings, his were fluffy and black.
A perfect but reversed mirror image of her wand.
Star and other Marco straightened their posture, taking a step forward towards each other.
"STAR!" Marco called out
"MARCO!" Other Star shouted.
Other Marco and Star stood face to face, carefully measuring up the other.
Other Marco narrowed his eyes as he muttered softly "It's gonna get a little weird."
Star smiled back "It's gonna get a little wild!"
"I ain't from round here!" Other Marco sang at the top of his lungs
"I'm from another dimension!" Star sang back
Other Marco and Star turned to stand side by side, hands into fist and shaking as they performed a duet.
"Gonna get a little weird, gonna have a good time! I ain't from round here, I'm from another WOOHOO!"
The two shared a mid-air high five, laughing and giggling, all tension gone despite the fact no answers had been given yet.
Marco made his way over to other Star's side, the two of them staring at the others, completely lost.
"So" Other Marco started "You're...?"
Star nodded joyfully "Yep! And you're...?"
The other smiled, giving her thumbs up "You know it!"
Other Star and Marco coughed loudly, motioning to get on with it when they caught the attention of their counterparts.
"Oh, sorry" Star said sheepishly "I got caught up in the excitement of the situation. It's not every day you get to meet your alternate reality selves!"
Marco and other Star nodded, seemingly understanding what was said before double taking, both shouting as one "Wait, what?!"
Other Marco nodded in agreement "Yep! We're from two different realities! One where I'm the prince of Mewni and the other where Star is the princess of Mewni"
"Okaaaay" Marco slowly started "but why are we meeting?"
Other Marco frowned, unsure if he could answer that question
Other Star turned to Marco curiously "Hey Marco?"
"Yes?" Other Marco responded
"No" other Star shook her head "Not you!
"Yes...umm Star?" Marco answered unsure if he knew what was going on
"What?" Star replied
"No not you! Hoodie Star"
"Oh, my bad." Star stated
"Hoodie Marco" other Star began "Were you two running from some creepy shadow guy?"
"Yeah"
"And did he attack you?"
"Yeah and let me guess, you supercharged the scissors?"
Other Star gave a short nod "Yeah we did. I guess supercharging the scissors allows it to cut through the barriers of reality"
"So all these mirrors must be other versions of ourselves."
"So to get back home, we just have to find our mirror!"
"Which the wands can lead us to!"
Marco and other Star cheered, sharing their own high five moment.
"Well then, since we have some time" Other Marco started but Star cut him off, dragging him away "I guess we can find more about our realities!"
"Wouldn't that be dangerous?" Other Star asked outloud.
Marco shook his head "I don't think so. This isn't time travel or anything like that. I'm sure it's safe"
Other Star peered knowingly at him "You mean you hope."
Marco gave a nervous chuckle "Yeah we hope."
The two shared a laugh
"So" Other Star told him, her tone clear she was going to ask him a few questions "You're Marco if he was born on Earth."
"Yeah. I got to admit that is pretty weird to hear."
Other Star giggled, a perfect Star laugh "Yeah I bet. And yes, I am Star who was born on Earth."
"Well you look like Star, do you act like her?"
"How does she act like?"
"Bubbly, full of energy, girly girl of girlness?"
Other Star rubbed her arm "I am girly. Love me my rainbows and rabbits. I usually ask Marco er my Marco to make them for me. But bubbly? Full of energy? Sometimes, depends if I have to be the one that watches out for Marco. For the most part I'm pretty happy go lucky."
"Huh, that's my Star too"
"Hey hoodie Marco, do you get called safe kid?"
Marco rolled his eyes, unable to believe in all the universes, that was the constant "Seriously? You too?"
other Star nodded "Yeah, it sucks huh?"
Marco agreed "Totally! Ugh, I wish they understood how much of a bad boy I really am!"
Other Star laughed "me too. Er Bad girl. Hey, who do you have a crush on?"
"Jackie Lynn Thomas" Marco sighed happily "You?"
"Jack Lionel Thomas" other Star sighed back.
"Green Belt?"
"Yep, embarrassing parents?"
"When aren't they? Perfect grades?"
"mhm, danced with Star at the blood moon ball?"
Marco shyly scratched his cheek "Yeeeeah. You?"
other Star nodded, just as shy "Yeah, I was caught so off guard when Marco came out of nowhere and swept me off my feet."
"Wait, your Marco danced with you? Not you starting the dance with him?"
"Y-yeah. His ex Sam came. Blackmailed and guilt tripped him into go. I don't think he was over her. Then he spotted me the crowd and I...i don't he kinda just strode over to me and we..." A pink tint brushed other Star's cheeks.
"Weird, in my reality a demon named Tom came and tried to sweep Star off her feet but she wasn't having any of it. She only decided to give him a second chance because he claimed he changed and she wanted to be fair."
"Strange. Hey do you remember that time when we talked to our crush for like a whole hour?"
Marco stared at her, unsure what she was getting at "Uh, what do you mean? I barely started talking to Jackie. I mean the most I've done was send her cat pictures."
"Really?" Other Star seemed surprised "Did you at least save her from that weird sock monster thing when we went on a field trip?"
"N-no. My Star did that for me because I was too nervous"
"But I saved Jack! Pulled him out of the sock myself!"
"Hey, how long did it take you get past the nod phase of our plan?"
"Nod phase? What the heck is the nod phase? I've been talking to Jack since like 2nd grade. Well...well talking is a strong word. More like short bursts of conversations."
"Huh, I guess we're not exactly the same."
"We are still Star and Marco. Most of our personalities must've carried over. Do you cook?"
"Yeah. My nachos."
"Yeah my Marco too, he makes the best nachos once he discovered what they were."
"Sooo" Star cooed, eager to find out as much as she could.
"So?" Other Marco responded
"Tell me about yourself? Is mom totally dragging you down with all the threats to send you to saint o's?"
"Mom? No she's supporting me. Dad's the one threatening me to send me to Saint Hugo's"
"Huh, oh oh can you kickbutt like me?"
"I guess? I was trained by dad himself. Wanted to make sure I grew up to be this big, tough warrior."
"Your dad trained you? The royal guards babysat me and taught me some fighting moves without my parents knowledge. Hey do you parents get on your case about being prim and proper?"
"Not really, dad's more like you have to be tough, no emotions, no weakness! No smiling or giving out free hugs or anything! Stoic and emotionless."
"You give out hugs?"
"N-no, I'm not really a hugger."
"Oh. So who's your Oskar?"
"Oskar? Oh you mean Ophelia? The girl with the record."
The two shared a longing sigh.
"So, have you talked to her?"
"T-talked? Haha no no, not yet! But I'm working on it! On step 2 of my 23 step plan."
Star couldn't believe what she was hearing "Wait, step 23? seriously?"
"Well I nodded at her the other day!"
"...this is the strangest sense of deja vu."
"I dunno. I...sigh. I dunno...I mean normally I'm super confident and happy. I mean I can be! There's no dad to tell me off. But...every time I see her. I...I just can't. I get nervous and my entire brain stops."
"So we're not exactly the same?"
Other Marco shook her head "similar but still carrying some of our key traits."
"Yeah. Hey, question!"
"shoot Star."
"haha shooting Star" Star laughed "anyway, are you and your Star dating?"
Other Marco's cheeks flushed terribly "N-no! Why, why would you say that? Are you dating your Marco?"
It was Star's turn to flush "Wait, no! I...I just thought you two seem really close and you look really cute together."
"I..umm..wait...wait doesn't that mean you two are just as close and would just look just as cute?"
Star shook her head wildly "What? No no no. I mean...I guess? I...this is pretty confusing."
"Agreed, can we like drop this?"
Star nodded "yeah, we better get going."
The two couples stared at each other, still trying to wrap their head around the sheer idea of other realities.
"BYE!" Other Star and Marco waved, Other Marco's face distance like he was trying to wrap his mind around something.
"BYE!" Marco and Star said together, turning away and following the wand to their reality.
The walk was quiet, Marco cheerfully walking ahead while Star was plagued with a certain idea that wouldn't leave her alone.
Did she look cute with Marco?
Other Marco and Other Star looked like the cutest pair and if Star was going to be honest, given how close they were hovering to each other and how protective they were of each other, she would've pegged them as dating or at the very harboring some serious affection for one another.
But that meant her and Marco were the same since they were so similar to their alternate reality counterparts. But Star didn't like Marco like that...did she?
She didn't think she did. But then again, now that she really stopped and thought about it, it was a really...pleasant idea. One she wasn't wholly against.
Star let out a sigh, looking up before plowing into another solid mass, her head dully aching with a familiar pain.
"Seriously?!" Star cried, angry at the idea this would happen twice in one day "AGAIN!?
"MOM! DAD!" a girl's voice called at the same time a boy's cried out "Mr. and Mrs. Diaz!"
"Mom?" Star replied, unsure what that meant as she stared a curious look with Marco who answered "Dad?"
The two peered close at the new couple they ran into.
The girl was about their age and looked strikingly familiar for some reason. She had long light brown hair that was just like Star's tucked under devil horns headband with electric blue eyes staring at them fearfully as two pink hearts on her cheeks with a little mole just above the left one began pulsing lightly. She was wearing red faded hoodie that looked a little too big on her with a pink shirt underneath. She was wearing a black knee length with black leggings and boots with sharp, shark-like teeth plastered on the front. She quickly hid something behind her back.
Her companion was a boy about the same age. He was shorter than everyone by half an inch with jet black wavy hair and forest green eyes hiding behind some wire frame glasses. He wore a white shirt with sliver crescent moon plastered on the front and black shorts, knee high socks with black converses.
"W-what are you doing here?" The girl asked, trembling like she was about to be scolded
"Us?" Star questioned defensively "We're existing is what we're doing! And you come and rudely run into us! That is the second time that's happen and I'm getting pretty tired of it!"
"I'm sorry mom." the young girl replied
"And another thing, why are you calling me mom?"
The girl's flushed, cutely turning all sorts of different shades of red while her hearts began to change different colors while she twiddled her thumbs.
"Well...you...you..."
"Nova!" The boy shouted, turning to her and whispering not so discreetly in her ear "Look carefully at them"
Nova raised an eyebrow, her shy behavior disappearing into thin air as she glared at the boy "Connor, what are you blabbing on about now?"
Connor motioned to them with his head, his eyes shrinking and widening like he was trying to be subtle.
Nova rolled her eyes, landing them on Star and Marco who were still confused by what was going on.
"Omg" Nova under her breath, gripping her hair in a panic "They're going to kill me!"
Marco took a step forward, sharing another confused look with Star "We're not going..."
"OMG I'M SO DEAD!"
Star shifted guilty "I know I was little forceful but calm down, we're not going to..."
"Mom warned me this could happen! And I didn't listen to her!"
Nova began pacing back and forth, agitated as she began dramatically making flourishes with some sort of black magician's wand in her hands. The all black stick with a white tip type wands.
"Mom told me not to supercharge the scissors! And I did! And now this...and them!"
Marco wasn't sure how to feel when Nova gestured to them like they were some sort of problem.
"Nova!" Connor shouted, stepping in front of the increasingly distraught girl "Nova it's okay, it's okay! I'm sure..."
"And you!" Nova turned quickly from palpable panic to righteous fury "You told me it would be a great idea to charge the scissors" she took a step forward forcing Connor to back away quickly as she sped up "You told me nothing bad would happen!"
Connor scoffed, quickly turning the tables around and stopping Nova in her tracks "No, I said it was a bad idea and that thing that your mom warned you about was probably going to happen!"
Nova's face became baffled. She placed a finger on her cheek while she looked up thoughtfully "Yeeeeah no I don't remember it that way."
"Big surprise" Connor muttered under his breath.
"What was that four eyes?"
"I said big surprise Novy"
"Ugh, I hate it when you call me that!"
"Then why are you're cheeks red?"
"Anger you dolt!"
"EXCUSE ME!" Star shouted loudly causing the two teens to jump "As much as I love watching a cute couple flirt in front of me."
"Mo...we're not a couple!"
"Novy and me? In her dreams"
"What was that four eyes?"
Nova gripped Connor's shirt collar tightly, raising the wand in his face that glowed with a red hue
Marco whistled loudly "Hey! Cut it out."
The two broke away, looking anywhere that wasn't the others direction, a blush appearing on both their faces.
"Look, we just want to know what is going on."
Nova shook her head "Nothing, nothing what's so ever daaaaaaaaaaaude! Yep, dude. We're just gonna be going now."
"Nova" Connor whispered loudly " we don't know which mirror is ours!"
"The wand said its the one behind us you dolt, come on." Nova whispered back, a force smiling sent towards Star and Marco while she pushed Connor away.
"I can't believe we just met them" Connor's voice softly said, getting fainter and fainter.
"I know right! Mom and dad looked absolutely adorable together at our age!" Nova whispered back before there was a loud plop and silence.
"They make a pretty cute couple" Star said simply.
"They are totally into each other" Marco agreed "Come one let's go home"
Star and Marco rounded the corner where Nova and Connor disappeared to only to spot a single mirror in the room, its frame plain and simple with no describable features.
"I guess they were from our reality. Maybe we'll see them again."
"Maybe."
Marco grabbed Star's hand, sending her heart racing at his touch.
Before Star could comment or ask Marco what he thought of them as a couple, they leapt through the portal landing onto the Diaz's backyard.
"Are we home Star?" Marco asked quietly
"Oh good" Mr. Diaz called out from inside the house "You kids are here! Though I thought you were getting something to eat? Why are you back so early?"
"Early?" Marco asked "What time is it?"
"It's about 7:30. You left for that rocky dimension about 10 minutes ago."
"Oh...right. We didn't feel like going out dad."
Mr. Diaz looked like he didn't believe them but shrugged and went on his merry way.
"We're back Star! WE'RE BACK!" Marco shouted cheerfully into the night sky, kissing the ground before spitting out some grass that managed to get on his tongue.
Star chuckled, her cheeks still red from when Marco held her hand. He was really just too cute and she could just...
"Star, are you okay?"
Star felt her heart shift into overdrive when Marco peered closer towards her, looking at her carefully as he pressed one of his hands against her cheek.
"M-Marco! What are you dong?" she stammered out, hoping he couldn't feel her wildly beating heart.
"Star, you're not sick are you? You're like really red and warm."
Star batted his hand away from her, already missing his touch "I'm fine Marco!"
"That's what you said when you had that fever!"
"That was different, I was lying that time!"
"and not this time? Nah uh, get back here Star. Doctor Marco is going give you the treatment you need!"
Star's flush became worse as her mind conjured up some rather intense scenes of her making out with Marco which she wasn't entirely against.
"SEE! You're even more red!"
"I'm not sick Marco!" Star cried, running into the house, a playful grin on her face as Marco ran after her, shouting "GET BACK HERE STAR! I WILL CHASE YOU AS LONG AS IT TAKES!"
20 years later
Nova and Connor landed softly in the backyard, the night sky showing no passage of time.
"Ugh, are we back four eyes?"
Connor glared at Nova, trying not to let her bright blue eyes send him into a daze again.
Connor bent over, groping in the dark for something he accidentally dropped when the two were sucked through the portal.
"Yeah, my lucky pen is here. Same bite marks, same worn out ink. We must be in the right time."
"You and that stupid pen, just get rid of it already" Nova complained while secretly taking joy in the fact that he kept her gift to him from the second grade even when the pen long ceased to function and was no longer even remotely useful anymore.
"Yes" A voice called out from the darkness "You are in the right time."
Nova and Connor shared a frightened look with one another, Marco and Star strolling out of the night with the biggest grins on their faces.
Nova looked at the ground, unable to face either of them in the eye. Her mama told her not to use the supercharge spell in their backyard and she had.
No one said anything, silence almost unbearable.
"So..." Star began "Didn't I tell you we were a cute couple?"
Nova peered up, surprised that there was no lecture, no shouting about recklessness or the dangers she may have encountered.
Nova shyly nodded "Yeah mom, you guys were like the cutest couple back then."
Marco rose an eyebrow "And not now?"
"I-I mean you still are but..but...I...umm..."
Marco let out a cheerful laugh "Relax Nova, it's just a joke."
Nova cracked a smile
"What's not a joke is that you used the supercharge spell when we told you not to"
Which turned into a frown.
"Hey, that's no fair!" Nova cried "You knew I would use the spell! You remembered from the time you met me! This was all a set up...I've been had!"
Star nodded "yep but you still broke the rules. Go upstairs, you're grounded for the week."
Nova huffed, turning to Connor and sticking her tongue out at him "This is your fault!"
"My fault? I told you not to use the spell!"
"Yeah right, you just wanted me to get in trouble so I couldn't go to the dance Friday! Now you got your chance to ask out Missy instead of having me drag you to the stupid thing."
"H-hey Missy is a nice girl and it wasn't like that at all! I didn't think you'd get in trouble!"
Nova huffed again, jealousy clearly written on her face "yeah right." and stormed off towards her room.
"Go after her Mr. Sinclair, we'll be calling your parents shortly to pick you up and informing them what you two have been up to."
Connor's face paled but he nodded in understanding, muttering under his breath about if he was about to be grounded too, he might as well spend all the time he could tormenting Nova.
The night air became quiet as Star and Marco shared a light kiss, holding each tightly as they both whispered
"Yeah they're totally into each other."
Author notes time *UPDATED*. I'm very sorry i did not realize i did not explain a few things about this au when i updated it last night. i apologize for that. i was so excited that it slipped my mind, my bad!
The darkness and the shadow man in the beginning of the story is none other than Nox, a character from If i miss you. the valleys of shimmering crystals is his perception of the various realities found through out the multiverse. to every living being, he looks like pure darkness. to him, everything looks like overly bright and chaotic crystals. he has to send parts of himself and basically shrink them down to directly form in the varying universes.
Other Star and Marco are actually Star and Marco from the role reversal universe i did a while back. I just love the idea of them meeting the canons versions and thus this chapter was born.
And finally Nova and Connor arrived in the nexus point of the multiverses because there, time does not move forward or backwards. it stands still so everything that happens happens in the same moment. That's how they were able to meet younger Star and Marco. its weird i know but it sounded better when i first wrote it.
Hopefully this help clear up any confusing things i failed to explain or describe about the chapter. and im sorry i didnt post all this information up last night when i updated.
I really really hope you enjoyed this special 50th chapter of my story. It means alot to me that you all read my work and enjoy it so even more so that we've made it this far because without you amazing readers i would not be much of a writer. A million, million thank yous to Hyper Blossom Z who came up with the brilliant idea for the role reversal universe. Without that request, this would've been a very, very different chapter. I also would like to thank IDC13 14 sara. While i did came up with the look of RR star, Sara added something her pictures i really enjoyed. She replaced Star's hearts with some freckles and i loved that so much i decided to add it in. thank you all so much and have an great day! a great week!
