After supposed to break the curse, Marco still feel uneasy. Back in his mind feel like something was missing. It was like when Star asked him what about when he looks at her? And he answered I see "my best friend" it felt wrong saying that, but he can't think why. He only wanted get rid of his feelings for her but it's like the Severing Stone didn't work. And then he remembers their dance, how happy Star was dancing with him, she was smiling after long time. But when Star asked him "What if it was never the Blood Moon?", that question was being in his head since come back from the Underworld.
Marco's room
Marco: Was Star right that our feelings weren't because of the curse? I don't know anymore. I only wanted to stop thinking about her and be normal again between us. And stop that heartache that I was having. Of course, in part it was my fault that I didn't give her a proper responce when she confessed her crush to me, and the worst part that I realised my feelings too late when I saw Tom and Star kissing on the Lava Lake, and that's when I thought that I lost my chance. So since that day my feelings grew stronger for her spending time with her. And when we got trapped on the photo booth, it was awkward being alone with Star. I wanted to get out off the booth as soon as possible, but Star insisted to take a best friends photos and when we kissed I thought that her would pull away from the kiss but she didn't, and after we kissed and she told me I have a boyfriend, it that moment was like my heart broke in million pieces, and it was all my fault thinking that the booth was magic, and since that moment we didn't talk about it. And the day when Meteora attacked, Tom told me that I was his best friend and that's when I decided to tell Tom about the kiss between Star and me. I thought he would be angry but he took it well.
Little didn't he know, someone was hearing his conversation, who was Star.
Star thoughts: So all this time Marco liked me and not because of the curse, he had real feelings for me. And because I was confused he was hurting all this time and I didn't notice it.
Marco: But I better not think about her, now that I like Kelly.
Star's thoughts: What? He likes Kelly? What? When? What is this feeling? Is like my heart broke hearing this. That's why he wanted to break the curse because he liked someone else. And this is all my fault, I was so idiot that Marco was suffering because of me. And he had to handle all this time seeing me with Tom and he said nothing to not ruined our friendship.
Marco: I have no idea how must Star feeling right now. I hope we can be normal again. I need to move on and be happy, if she's happy with Tom so be it. Her happiness is what matters to me, even if it's not with me
Star's thoughts: He really cares about me and he sacrifices his happiness for me. If you would know how much I love you Marco and not because of the curse. I better get some fresh air.
Star went up to the top of the Temple.
Star: Why didn't you say anything at all Marco?-tears were watering her eyes- I thought I got over you, but I guess not. Every day we spent together my feelings came back and when we kissed on the booth those feelings grew stronger for you. I was so focused on Tom that I didn't realise that I was hurting you. And now you want to move on from me meanwhile I will have to see you with Kelly. Why weren't you being honest with me? Why do we keep hurting each other, I thought everything would be okay after I found my mom, but it's like my life is falling apart. First my parents go live alone and now I lost you. Why is life so complicated? All because my confusing feelings. Also it's Tom fault saying that our feelings were because of the curse.
Little didn't she know someone was hearing her conversation, who was Marco from outside the Temple.
Marcos thoughts: What is this sound? Is Star crying? Why is she crying?
Star: I guess I lost my chance to be with you Marco. Only because like always I avoid my problems. I wish you knew how much you mean to me Marco. But it's too late, I hope you are happy with Kelly. And maybe it's time for me to move on like you did.
Marco's thoughts: Star? I didn't know that you really have feelings for me and not because of the curse. And now you're hurt because of me. I'm really sorry.
Star: I would never forget our dance that we have on the Underworld before the curse broke. It was amazing while it lasted.
Marco's thoughts: So does Star remember when we danced on the Underworld? I thought she didn't remember. So does it mean that the severing Stone didn't break the curse? And why I don't remember anything?
Star: I guess it would be better that I stay as her best friend even it hurts saying that. Well if he's happy I am happy too, even if it won't be with me. I guess I would never have my *takes the photo beach day* fun with Marco on the future. I guess I have to life with this heartache every day and forget my feeling for Marco. I guess this will like the time when Marco was with Jackie again. But as her bestie I will support him no matter what.
Marco's thoughts: So, Star was suffering when I was with Jackie and I didn't realise how much Star was hurting to see me happy. And now I will hurt her again when she sees me with Kelly. No I will not accept that. She doesn't deserve this. But what can I say to her?
Star: I better go to my room It's late. I will be strong for Marco.
Marco's thoughts: No, Star don't. What can I do? Uggh. I am going up there before she leaves.
Marco goes where Star is silently. But unfortunately Star notice his presence.
Star: Marco, is that you?
Marco's thoughts: Oh crap, she saw me.
Marco: Oh hey Star
Star: What are you doing here?
Marco: Uhhh mmm-nervous-I was looking for you?
Star: Why?
Marco: Because I didn't find you in your room.
Star: Ah okay
*Awkward silence*
Star: So how did you know I was here?
Marco: Uhhh I-scratching his head nervously- I heard you talking yourself
Star: Oh -blushes-Did you hear everything?
Marco: Well, part of it.
Star: breaths in relief- Fiuuu. So why did you really came here?
Marco: Can I ask you something?
Star: Sure..
Marco: Why did you lie about that you didn't remember about the dance in the Underworld?
Star: Because-blushes- I wanted to keep it for myself and don't make things awkward between us.
Marco: I guess you have a point.
Star: Marco, why can't we be honest with each other?
Marco: What do you mean?
Star: I mean tell each other how we feel.
Marco: I guess, we're afraid of losing each other.
Star: But we keep hurting each other keeping secrets. Don't you think?
Marco: I guess you're right. We've been running from the truth for a year. It happened a lot. Toffee, Meteora, Eclipsa as the new queen, finding your mom and we didn't have time to think about our problems. But don't you think it's time to stop running away from our problems? And be honest with each other?
Star: I want to, but...
Marco: But? Star?
Star: I am scared, okay.
Marco: Why are you scare?
Star: Remember, that we thought our feelings were because of the curse?
Marco: Yes.
Star: Well, I realised that mine are real. I guess I was afraid of admit it. And when you told me I see "my best friend"-starts crying-it hurt. Because before the curse broke I knew that my feelings for you were real. And when you told me that you wanted to get rid of your feelings, I was wondering why. And now I know why.
Marco: Star I..
Star: It's okay. I get it! You like someone else. And I can't do anything about it.
Marco: Wait, how did you know?
Star: It doesn't matter. I hope you're happy. I gotta go. Good night Marco.
Star starts to stand up but Marco grabs her arm
Marco: Star I...
Star: What Marco? If you don't want say anything I better go
Marco: I'm sorry Star-head down-
Star: Marco, what do you mean are you sorry for?
Marco: I'm sorry I hurt you, okay. I didn't mean to. I was an idiot for not realising how you felt when I was with Jackie. Do you know why I did to the Blood Moon Ball?
Star: No, why?
Marco: I guess, I was afraid of losing you with Tom, of course we've known each other for a few months, I guess you could say that I was a little jealous back then. And when you told me that you didn't need a hero you needed a friend, and since that day I promised myself be the better friend for you.
Star: W-w-wait! Why were you jealous?
Marco: Because I realised that maybe I had a little crush on you.
But after you told me that, I decided to forget about it and focused on my crush on Jackie. It hurt when you were mad at me.
Star: Marco I didn't know. I guess I was so dense to notice that.
Marco: But when Ruberiot revealed your crush on me on Song Day those feelings I tried to forget they came back but I didn't want to say anything to not make things more awkward that really were. And when I asked you if you had crush on me on the party I was hoping that it was true, you told me you didn't. But after you left Earth because of Toffee and confessed that you really had a crush on me, you left me confused. When we said our goodbye after you defeated Toffee it was the saddest moment in my life because I thought that I would never see you again. The time I went back to Earth I wan't the same, on my dates with Jackie all I talked about it was Mewni and also I wore my cape. Then Jackie realised that I wasn't happy on Earth and I was making Jackie and me miserable staying for her. So that's why she broke up with me. And when I found out that you were dating Tom it was like a punch on my heart, but I didn't know why. And the worst part it was when I saw you and Tom kissing on the Lava Lake, it was a slap in my face realising my feelings for you. And since that day, I kept them inside of me. And when we got trapped on the booth I didn't want to be stuck with you alone. But when we kissed I thought you would pull away but you didn't. But when you told me that you had Tom it hurt so I realised that you regreted it. So since that day we avoid the topic. I'm sorry, but I needed to get off my chest.
Star: Marco, why didn't you say anything?
Marco: Because you are with Tom. And I was an idiot for realised it too late.
Star: Marco, I'm really sorry. So what do we do now?
Marco: I don't know, Star. I like you but I like Kelly too.
Star: I know, I like you too. But why did you suddenly you are with her?
Marco: Because Kelly is still not over Tad and I still not over you. So to give a chance to Kelly I wanted to get rid of my feelings for you. But I guess it didn't work, huh?
Star: I guess not. But we're afraid to hurt their feelings. But-makes fist-I keep pretending that I don't have feelings for you, because I do. But if you want to be with Kelly I will wait for you. But don't forget that I will always your best friend and nothing won't change that. -kiss his cheek- I love you Marco.
Marco:
Star: Good night, Marco
Star is leaving but Marco grabs her hand
Marco: Star wait!
Star: M-Marco?
Marco: Star I don't want to hurt you anymore. You don't deserve this. I--breaths and look at her eyes-I love you too, Star.
Star: You do?
Marco: Yes, I'm not afraid to admit it. I love everything single thing about you. You changed my life for the better. Because of you I live in another dimension and have an amazing girl as my best friend. You're the coolest girl I've ever met. Before I met you, my life was boring and I was the sake kid, and when you came you showed me that life can be fun, dangerous.
Star: You changed my life too. You showed that Earth is an amazing place.
Marco: -smiles-And there's something left to do
Star: What is it?
Marco: This -cups her cheek and kiss her
Star's thoughts: Oh my god, Marco is kissing me again, but this time it feels different, amazing.
Star then craves it and kiss him back
Marco's thoughts: Gosh, her lips are so soft, warm and taste like vainilla.
Star's thoughts: His lips are so warm, soft and sweet. I don't want it to end.
But unfortunately they had to break for air
Star Marco: Wow-smiling like an idiots
Star: That was...
Marco: Amazing! But what about Tom and Kelly?
Star: We can worry about them later, what matter is us right now.
I love you so much Marco
Marco: I love you too, Star.
*They kiss again*
Little didn't they know that a red moon was shining on the two lovers.
