Star and Marco got back to Butterfly Castle with the moon already in full view and with tons of feelings inside them. Confusion, anger, feelings they didn't even know they could feel. It was like someone told them their parents were dead. They walked into the castle and heard yelling coming from the corridors.

"Star? Marco?"

It was Queen Moon and King River. They ran to them as if they'd been missing for weeks.

"Oh my goodness, thank heavens you're safe!" Moon said, kissing Star's head. Star gave a weak smile at Moon while Moon kept looking behind her.

"Where's...where's Eclipsa?" Moon asked. Star's smile quickly faded away and looked at the ground.

"We...we lost her." Star replied. Marco was still looking at the ground and didn't say a word. Moon sighed and stared at Star.

"Oh, Star. Well, the point is you're safe and that's all that matters." Moon said.

"Yes, this is true, but now Eclipsa is on the loose and hiding somewhere. We need to find her immediately. Who knows what kind of mischief she could be plotting out there." River said, while Star looked at Marco who didn't move an inch. "Star? Did you hear what I just said?"

"Y-yes, Dad. Loud and clear. We'll find her." Star replied.

Star and Marco went into their rooms and didn't say a word to each other. Star was greeted with Glossaryck sitting on her bed, blowing raspberries as always with an occasional "Globgore". Star picked him up and cuddled him.

"Oh, Glossaryck. It's all my fault." Star said to him. "I was so stupid back then to give Marco a squid arm to win a silly karate competition. I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't understand how that spell worked. I thought spells were just spells and they would fade away like all my spells usually do. I didn't want this."

"Globgore?" Glossaryck said.

"And now what's worse is he's going to be treated differently. If anyone finds out he's a monster..." Star couldn't finish her sentence. She knew exactly what this meant. Luckily, the squid arm had never come back after Star used her spell to send it away. Though what if it did? Star couldn't bear to think of it. Right now, things were good between her and Marco. No one could know his secret. At least no one within the Butterfly kingdom. Suddenly, two knocks came from Star's bedroom door. Before she could open it, the knob turned and Marco came in.

"Star?" Marco said, very quietly.

"Yes, Marco?" Star asked. Marco sighed.

"Look...this...this was probably going to happen sooner or later. You know, us finding out i'm now a monster and all." Marco chuckled very lightly.

"Marco-"

"No, let me finish." Marco said, cutting off Star. "This was probably going to happen, and when I think about it, i'm the one who asked you to give me something that would've helped me kick that loser Jeremy's butt. It's my fault. You did nothing wrong."

"But I-"

"Star, please." Marco said, cutting off Star again. "It's okay. I can live with this. This doesn't change who I am. I'm still the same Marco Diaz you knew before and there's nothing that's going to change that. I know it's not like we can forget about this, but maybe it's best we don't remember this. We just act like nothing ever happened."

Star went and hugged Marco, starting to tear up. "I'm...i'm sorry, Marco". Marco hugged her back and patted her soft head.

"Heeeeey" Marco said, looking at Star tearing up "Don't you be crying about anything. This is my problem. Besides, maybe once you finally bring mewmans and monsters together, and I can embrace my neeeeewly acquired monster heritage, I can help you on our adventures together!"

"That's true!" Star said with a smile. "And then once you're able to finally use your squid arm, should it ever come back, I won't have to do all the work anymore!"

"Yeah! Wait, what?" Marco asked.

"Nothing, you dummy." Star said, laughing a bit. Marco couldn't help but look at Star again like he did back in the forest.

"Now, who wants to make some Super Awesome Nachos with meeeee?" Marco asked.

Star smiled and softly bumped Marco's shoulder with her fist. "Hehe...you're such a dork." she said. The two went and ran down to the kitchen to make some of Marco's Super Awesome Nachos while laughing. Glossaryck put one more "Globgore" before putting his toe in his mouth and using it as a pacifier and drifting himself off to sleep.
