Chapter 37: Sleep Over

Star was hosting a sleepover and invited a bunch of her gal pals! Pony Head being her best friend of course. Then there was Janna who she had gotten close since her visit. Another was Jackie, the girl Marco had a crush on. Then there was StarFan13, the girl who was Star's fan. And finally Marguerite who had gotten permission to go to other dimensions.

Right now they were doing makeovers.

"There, what do you think." Said Janna giving the finishing touches on Star.

"I love it!" said Star.

"Me next! Me next!" yelled StarFan13, "And make me look exactly like Star and I mean exactly!"

"Fun sleepover huh guys?" asked Star.

"It's the best!" cheered StarFan13.

"Well it's about to get even better!" said Star.

She lifted up her wand to show that it was acting like a egg timer.

They all went to the kitchen where it turned out Star made brownies.

"I never made brownies before!" said Star, "But I used real magic sprinkles!"

"All right brownies!" cheered Luffy coming in.

Luffy decided to have his own mini-sleep over with Marco .

He ate a couple brownies.

"So what do you think?" asked Star.

The girls all made faces as they ate them indicated they didn't like them.

"Okay." Said Luffy with a shrug, "Not the best… but still okay."

"They're good." Said Marguerite.

"So good right?" asked Jackie.

"Yeah…" said Pony Head.

StarFan13 began to eat all of them of them claiming their good.

That was when they heard music coming from the living room.

They entered to find Marco playing the keyboard.

"Oh hey girls. I was just practicing piano." Said Marco, "It's jazz."

"Oh hey Marco, didn't know you played." Said Jackie.

Marco looked at her and tried to be cool.

"Oh hey Jackie didn't see you there." He said.

He tried Moonwalking but ended up tripping.

"What is he doing?" asked Marguerite.

"You don't know much about boys do you?" asked Pony Head.

Marguerite looked at her, when Star had introduced her to the other she did explain about her home island and that Luffy and Marco were latterly the first two human males she had ever met.

"Oh right… island of just women…" said Pony Head rolling her eyes.

Marco continued to awkwardly flirt talking about how he doesn't eat Brownies but Protein shakes.

However Pony Head approached Marco.

"You got it bad." She teased.

"What… no…" said Marco.

"It's game time Marco and since you like playing the so much, I got a game that would be perfect for you." Said Pony Head.

All of them went into star's room where a strange cube sat on the ground.

"It's a box." Said Marco.

"IT's a magic box." Said Luffy.

"It's a game called Truth or Punishment. It's a game where you tell all your deepest darkest secrets." Said Pony Head.

"I'm out!" said Marco getting up to leave.

"I'll go get him…" said Star.

She talked to Marco who thought that it would better to keep secrets to themselves.

"Come play with us Marco." Said Janna in a creepy way.

"Come on let's share secrets." Said Jackie.

Star dragged him to the spot.

"I hate you." Said Marco.

"Okay so it's supposed to ask three questions each one harder than the last." Said Pony Head.

She clapped her ears, and the lights turned off and the box glowed.

"Deceit and fables. Lies and fiction even with complete conviction. If truth is absent from these events then all will face the punishments." Said the box.

"What does that mean?" asked StarFan13.

"If you lie then bad things happen." Said Janna.

The box opened up creating a mouth shaped opening.

"Pledge an oath of truth. Pinky swear to me." Said the box.

"I promise to tell the truth." Aid Star.

The other joined in her in placing her pinky in the mouth.

"The truth." Said Janna.

"The truth!" said StarFan13.

"The truth." Said Luffy.

"The truth." Said Pony Head placing her tongue.

"The truth." Said Marguerite.

"The truth." Said Jackie.

"The truth." Said Marco.

With all 8 pledging, the game was ready.

"Now it's time to play Truth or Punishment!" said the box.

"Oh yeah! This is going to be fun Pony!" said Star.

"The first question." Said the box.

Everyone got ready for their first question.

"What is your favorite color." Said the box.

This surprised everyone.

"Uh Pony Head." Said Star.

"I'm sure the first one is super easy." Said Pony Head, "then it gets harder like if you ever killed a man… which is still super easy."

"Pony head! Favorite color." Said Marco.

"Oh Pony Head Color! Boom!" said Pony Head.

"Pony Head." Said Marco.

"Actually it's a popular color on Mewni." Said Star.

"I like red." Laughed Luffy.

"I have to say the same." Said Marco.

"Blood red?" asked Janna.

"No." said Luffy.

"Just regular hoody red." Said Marco.

"Star what's your favorite color." Said StarFan13.

"Uh… I have to say yellow." Said Star.

"Me too!" giggled StarFan13.

"No way!" giggled Star.

"I have to say green." Said Marguerite petting her snake who was of course with her.

"Neon Green for me." Said Jackie.

"Well I like black." Said Janna.

"I can see that." Said Marco.

"Oh black is my second favorite color." Said Jackie.

"Black is a cool color." Marco said nervously

The lights in the room turned red.

"Someone is lying!" yelled the box.

It let out lighting that tickled all of them very harshly causing them to all laugh.

"Whoever is lying speak up!" yelled Star through the laughter.

"Okay! I love pink! It's my favorite color!" yelled Janna.

"Truth!" said the box.

"Pink!" said everyone confused.

"I just hate contributing to gender serotypes." Said Janna.

"Janna likes pink and fights the patriarchy!" said the Box.

It began to hover in air. Then suddenly the room was separated from the rest of the house by the box and inside the room they wee in now a circuitry like room.

"Whoa! Awesome!" said Star.

"It's like we're in the game." Said Marco.

"All right second question." Said the Box, "What did you really think of Star's brownies?"

"They were okay." Said Luffy with a shrug.

"Everyone but Luffy loved my brownies." Said Star.

"Yes… they were whatchamacallit it good." Said Pony Head.

"They were really good Star." Said Marguerite.

"Yeah they were great." Said Janna.

"Yep good brownies Star." Said Jackie with a nervous laugh.

"I didn't have any of the brownies so I guess I missed out." Said Marco.

"Oh that's too bad Marco because they…" said Jackie when suddenly her face swelled up, "Really good."

"Jackie?" asked Marco horrified.

"Yeah, delicious." Said Janna with her face suddenly becoming grotesque

Everyone else started to transform in horrifying creatures.

"what's happening!" yelled Marco.

"Whoa! Weird!" yelled Luffy.

"Someone is lying." Said the box and it produced a mirror, "And this is what lies look lie on the inside."

They all screamed in horror.

"Wait who didn't like my brownies." Said Star.

"I just…" said Jackie who began to laugh nervously.

"I didn't have them!" said Marco, "Don't' look at me."

"I just through they were okay!" said Luffy.

"I didn't like them." Said Marguerite coming out first, "I've only had brownies once or twice before and whatever you made weren't brownies."

"They were like the worst brownies." Said Janna.

"I didn't like them either." Said Jackie, "They tasted like dirt."

"If I had a stomach it would be very sick right now."

"Well I loved her brownies!" said StarFan13.

However all of them began to swell and becoming more grotesque.

"Okay I lied! The brownies were horrible!" yelled StarFan13.

There was a puff of smoke and they all returned to normal.

"Truth." Said the box.

"Wait… Luffy, you actually thought Star's brownies were okay?" asked Janna.

"Luffy is a human garbage disposal and will eat anything!" said the Box.

"Hey!" yelled Luffy.

I don't' want to play this game any more." Said Star.

"Yeah I'm sorry I even brought that stupid game." Said Pony Head, "Anyone up for the bounce lounge?"

Everyone agreed and headed for a door that was the exit.

However the door suddenly moved towards them and pushed them to the center of the room.

"No body leaves until they answer the final question!" yelled the box.

"Then why do you have an exit." Said Luffy.

The box sighed.

"I am legally obligated to have a fire exit." Sighed the box, "And in case of fire you will be allowed to leave using the exit but that is not the case right now."

"Seriously?" asked Pony Head.

"Yes… now answer the question… and no start any fires." Said the cube.

Janna was holding a flame in her hand.

"Fine." She muttered.

"All right! Who do you have a crush on?" asked the box.

"Okay we can do this guys. We just have to tell the truth" Said Jackie, "Go ahead game. Ask us."

"Jackie, who do you have a crush on?" asked the box.

"Okay, there's this cute guy at skate camp last summer. He's really nice." Said Jackie.

The girls all went "Aw!"

"See that was easy." Said Jackie, "Okay now you go Marco."

"No thanks Uh… I.. .how about you go Star." Said Marco.

"I say who goes next!" said the Box, "And I say it's Star."

"Oskar Greason. Everyone knows that." Said Star.

"Good choice." Said StarFan13.

"StarFan13. Who do have crush on?" asked the Box.

"Star Butterfly!" said StarFan13 hugging Star which she accepted.

"Luffy!" said the box.

Luffy began to think really hard that his started to turn red.

"Uh… what's a crush again?" asked Luffy.

The box just floated there in bafflement.

"He's telling the truth." Sighed Star.

The box sighed then looked at Marguerite.

"Marguerite who do you have a crus on?" asked the box.

"The snake princess! She's so amazing and beautiful!" said Marguerite.

"Pony Head! Who do you have a crush on?" asked the Box.

"Ace! Those abs are so amazing! I just want to take a hunk of cheese and see if they shred it or if he melts the cheese." Said Pony Head.

"TMI Pony Head." Sighed Star.

"Didn't need to know that." Sighed Marco.

"Well I think we all know who I have a crush on." Said Janna.

"Uh…" said Marco.

"18th Century Poet John Keats." Said Janna.

Marco laughed not expecting that… after all he had just discovered she regularly makes evil clones of him.

"Okay Marco Diaz! Your crush." Said the box.

"Marco you don't have to." Said Star.

"No it's okay." Said Marco, "I have a crush is on Jackie. Jackie Lynn Thomas."

"What?" asked Jackie surprised.

However the room turned red. And the box started to emit lighting.

"Somebody lied big time." Said the Box.

"Who lied! Was to Janna?" asked Star.

"No it really is John Keats!" said Janna.

"Mines the cute guy at skate camp!" said Jackie.

"Boa Hancock." Said Marguerite, "That's her real name and not her title."

"I knew what you meant!" said the Box.

"I still don't know what a crush is!" said Luffy.

"I love Star!" said StarFan13.

"And I love Oskar Greason." Said Star though she sounded a little unsure.

"Marco!" yelled Pony Head.

"I told you! I have a crush on Jackie! At least I think I do! But what does that really mean?" said Marco, "I've put her on a sort of pedestal, so I like the image of her or who she really is? I mean I like her enough to know she deserves someone who wants to get to know her which is definitely me!"

The room turned back to blue.

"Wow! I always get to the truth… but that… Kudos really." Said the Cube but everything turned back red, "You weren't the one who lied!"

The box turned into more of a diamond shape and then opened up revering a horrific mas of eyes and mouths.

"Don't worry guys I got this!" said Star.

She took out her wand and zapped the box. Which did nothing.

"Gum Gum Bazooka!" called out Luffy using is double palm thrust but it didn't do anything.

The floor raised the floor the two revealing that it was going to crush them.

Luffy grabbed his sister and jumped so they wouldn't be crushed.

"Hey! I need some arrows!" called out Marguerite.

Janna created a quiver with some arrow. She grabbed them as her snake acted like a bow.

She shot an arrowed at the bottom of the box and it broke off.

"Mother fu… OW! OW!" yelled the box, "How did you do that! I'm magic proof!"

"I used Haki." Said Marguerite.

"I have no idea what that is!" said the Box. It tried to crush Marguerite despite it's pain however Luffy managed to grab her in time.

However the Box knew that this method wouldn't work when there was a Rubber man around and decided to go with the room slowly closing in method.

"All right time for the fire exit." Said Janna conjuring fire in her hand.

"Janna what's worse! Burning to death! OR being crushed because I don't think he let us out if you star a fire." Said Marco.

"Dang it!" muttered Janna realizing he was right.

"What did we do to diverse this!" said Star.

"Lies are a plague. A virus! A weed." Said the box through different mouths, "And to stop a weed you must kill the roots."

"But it's not really lying." Said Star.

"What?" asked the Box.

"Sometimes you don't' know what you think. You think you know how you feel about something, but then it changes." Said Star, "Pony Head ask me what my favorite color is."

"You already said it." Said Pony Head, "You said it's yellow."

"What your favorite color." Said Luffy getting what his sister was saying.

"Right now. Blue." Said Star.

The room turned Green indicating she was telling the truth.

"Wait! You can't change your answer!" said the Box.

"Jackie who do you have a crush on?" asked Star.

"I… I… don't know any more." Answered Jackie.

"You think everything's black and white but it's not." Said Star.

"No!" yelled the box.

"It's a whole rainbow of emotions and feelings that's always changing!" said Star.

The Bo screamed turning back into it's original form though heavily damaged thanks to logic bomb that Star gave it as well as the damage done by Marguerite.

Which they promptly tossed in the trash.

The next morning, everyone left with Janna, Pony Head and StarFan13 all groaning.

"Crazy night, huh Star?" asked Jackie as they left.

"Yeah, crazy." Said Star.

"see you at school Marco." Said Jackie as she skate boarded away.

"Later!" said Luffy, "Hancock promised to make me breakfast when I brought Marguerite back."

"If you have another sleep over… don't have Pony Head bring any games… or make brownies." Said Marguerite.

"Noted." Laughed Star.

The two left with Luffy cutting open a portal.

"So you ready for our Sunday breakfast burritos?" asked Star to Marco.

"No I'm going to my room to catch some Zs." said Marco who was in a daze however he wandered around then remembering which direction the room was in.

"Marco…" said Star then yelled out "Marco Diaz!"

In the trashcan the box was there.

"Truth Star Butterfly has a crush on…" said the Box before being crushed…

And indeed Star hadn't realized yet, but she was starting to revolt feelings for Marco… and it would still be a while she realized it…

Next Time: Miss Heinous sends out an assassin after Marco and Luffy. Now Luffy must fight off the assassin while Marco and Star shops at Quest Buy in order for a Gift Card not to go to waste. But there's even more problems from that! what are they? Find out next time!
