Chapter 05: The Godmother

Star Butterfly was doing something she had never thought she'd do, she was reading a book for entertainment.

Janna had suggested this book, it was about a boy who was forced to live with his awful aunt and uncle after his parents died.

Star couldn't help but think this book was depressing, she almost stopped after the first few chapters. But then things picked up, a big hairy guy showed up and told him he had magical powers. Then he went off to go to a magic school where he made friends. Things then started to get really weird with the boy and his friends stumbling into a mystery with some sort of dark magic guy.

Now the kids where going through this strange trials to get some sort of magical rock.

Honestly Star was happy to have the distraction. She was hoping to have some fun with Marco but he already had plans, he was taking Seraph to ride Nachos. Star was disappointed she couldn't spend time with her bestie but she certainly understood he needed to spend time with his daughter.

That still left her uneasy, the fact that Marco was a father. Star was not sure she'd ever truly get used to it.

There was a knock on her door distracting her from her distraction.

"Star?" Marco's poked his head into his room.

"Marco?" Star blinked, "I thought you'd be gone until dinner?"

"Yeah, mom is finishing up."

Star looked out her window to where the world was covered in darkness. "Wow, this is a really good book."

She was surprised she'd spent so many hours reading.

"Star," Marco cleared his throat, "I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Oh sure." Star put down the book, she paused realizing she didn't remember to get a bookmark.

"Yeah, before we came back we stopped to meet with Hekapoo."

Star's eye twitched hearing that name, "Oh, right, yup, gotcha."

Star didn't hate Hekapoo or anything, she just never knew how to react to her now knowing her unique situation with Marco.

"I need to ask you something, and it's totally okay for you to say no or anything."

"Okay, ask away?"

"Will you be Seraph's godmother?"

"...What?" Star stared unsure about… everything.

"Yeah, I mean, you're my best friend and it just seems right that you'd be my daughter's godmother."

"You want me to be Sarah's godmother?"

"Seraph" Marco corrected, "Yeah, I mean, it's more of a title than anything. If something were to happen to me my parents would raise Seraph since Hekapoo can't. But I would like you to keep an eye on her for me."

A pain gripped Star's heart, she didn't like the idea of something happening to Marco. Marco adored his daughter and Star knew what it meant that he'd trust her with such a duty.

"Of course Marco," If Marco would trust her with the person he cared about the most she couldn't refuse.

Not that Marco would ever need to ask, Star would use the full resources of Mewni to help that girl. Star owed more than that, more than she felt she could ever repay.

"Thanks Star." Marco closed the gap between and gave her a hug.

Marco wasn't much of a hugger, really hugging people only when the situation called for it. Star could tell how much that meant to him, she could practically see a huge weight and worry roll of his shoulders.

Star couldn't but smile a little into the hug, how much faith Marco had in her.

After Marco pulled away and smiled at her, "Well, I'm sure dinner is ready so we should head down."

"Yeah, sure, I'll be right down in a minutes. I just have to take care of something."

Marco smiled as he walked out the room, he hoped that Seraph would never need a godmother but he found it reassuring that Star would be there if she was needed. He always knew that he could count on her but just having say she would eased him.

Star watched Marco leave and she started petting her hair. Star understood why Marco wanted to have someone watch over Seraph, he was a worry wart he liked having things planned out in case of the worst. But she hated to even think of something happening to him.

And if it did, would she be able to keep her promise? Would she be strong enough to look after his daughter.

Star wasn't sure if she was but made another promise, she wouldn't let her friend down. That and to make sure the situation would never come up where she'd have to keep that promise.


Author's Notes: So, here's a quick little thing about Star becoming Seraph's god mother. If your wondering she doesn't exactly have a godfather though unofficially Lekmet and Rhombulus share that tittle. Let's just say that Star is conflicted about suddenly having any title with parent in it.
