"What?" Star said.
"I said if you just saw that portal there?" and Marco pointed at where it was in the sky, but it was suddenly gone… how weird…
"What portal? Are feeling alright Diaz? Did my adventures finally break your mind?" She jokingly asked.
"O-Of course not!" and they started to walk toward Marco's house.
But while they were walking back home Marco kept thinking about that mysterious portal he just saw. What was that? Should I be worried? I think I should go there and check what happened….
When they finally arrived home, they were getting ready to watch a movie.
"What movie are we watching? I can't wait!" Star excitedly asked.
"Back to the future"
"What is it all about?"
"It revolves around time travel"
"Time travel? What's that?" Star just keeps asking questions Marco thought by this rate the movie would've been over if its been playing all this time…
"Time travel is when you go back in time, to a past event or even a future event, although it ALWAYS ends up making trouble in the present.." Marco stopped for a moment and looked at star and as expected, looked confused at the explanation of time traveling.
"Uhhh, can you give me an example of time travel? Pretty please?"
"Ugh fine.. lets say… I went back in time to when I was kidnapped by Ludo's monsters. And somehow I interfered by not letting you destroy the wand and setting me free. Because of that, in the present I won't exist right now, since I was not freed by Toffee." Marco immediately reflected on what he just said.
Wow that was a horrifying example, he thought, then he looked at Star again to see her reaction, she was terrified of the result. He felt sorry and was about to apologize until he noticed something wrong. He saw Star's face moving, but just so slightly and so slowly and then he realized what was happening. Everything around him was moving slowly, the clock, the television, everything. Marco also moved as slow, he didn't know why. Then he immediately thought about the random portal in the sky, maybe that portal did something with the movement of time.
Now I really need to go there, and so Marco's plan for tomorrow was settled. Fortunately the effect wore off, and everything went normal again
"That sounds terrifying!" Star replied which caught Marco off guard for a moment.
"Did you just felt that star?!"
"Felt what?"
"You! slowing down?! as if time slowed itself?"
"Umm no? Why?" Marco was surprised, although he didn't show it to Star, his best friend, the inter-dimensional princess of Menwi, has not clue whatsoever what was happening since class ended.
"Ok look Star, remember when I asked if you saw that random portal in the sky?"
"Yeah and I thought you were going crazy."
"I think that thing is interfering with something here, and im planning on finding out what it brought."
"How do you know that?"
"I-I actually don't know. The only thing im certain for now is that im the only one aware of this and honestly im surprised you have no clue about it. I mean, you go dimension-hopping! You should know about this!"
"Im sorry but I really have no clue what you're talking about, maybe my parents know something about that 'portal' you're going crazy over." Star then went upstairs and fell asleep, her voice having a stiff tone. Marco then sat on the couch and relaxed himself until he falls asleep. While he was in the process of falling asleep, he kept thinking about what he just said about Star and her lack of awareness. Man I went hard quickly at her… and for now reason at all…. I should apologize tomorrow… that's when he falls asleep.
Somewhere in Echo Creek, the blue blade just released its temporal powers, and now its blue aura is slowly glowing, recharging its power, although how it released its powers without anyone retrieving the blade is unknown…
