Star Butterfly groaned as she struggled to get awake...
"Seriously?! You couldn't have told me about the time difference?!" Demanded a a gruff adult voice. Star rose from a bed and turned toward a big hunk of a man arguing with Hekapoo.
Hekapoo shrugged, "You didn't ask." "I didn't- I just- You- The man grumbled in annoyed exasperation while the she-demon just laughed.
Star moaned, "Uh, excuse me? Who are you?"
Both adults looked over to the teen, the man sighed. "Okay...Star...it's me...Marco." He said gently.
Star's eye's just went wide as all her memories of what happened earlier came back to her, "SAY WHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTT!?" She shouted.
CRASH!
-and then a nearby door collapses under the weight of numerous kids pressing against it trying to hear what's going on.
Marco groaned, "Oh, and these are my kids."
"Hi." Pipped up Lincoln as his sister waved from the floor.
...Which was of course Star's que to faint again...
...
Star sighed as she ate some fire-frog stew after waking up again, "You know Marco...I might've been mad at you about abusing and losing the scissors, but i would've gotten over it."
Hekapoo rolled her eye's with a chuckle, "Yeah, little late with the advice their sweetie." She teased.
Marco coughed, "Anyway, let me introduce you to my kids." He points to the kids who were a whole gambit of pale or tan skin, red and brown hair and all the other mix and matches you can get...
"This is my eldest, Lori." Lori looks up from her compact mirror/mystic phone, "Nice to finally meet you! Dad's told us so much about you!" She then immediately goes back to her phone.
"Then there's Len- Wait, where's Leni?"
SPLASH!
"IS THIS THE CAR POOL LANE!?"
Shouts Leni from the car she just drove into the pool...
Marco shakes his head at this but moves on, "This is Luna."
"ROCK IT!" Shouts Luna as sjumps onto the table and rocks her guitar so loud that Star falls over.
Marco laughs at this, "Luan."
"Nice to meet you", says Luan as she reaches over her hand to shake hers.
Star leans over to so that...then her eyes suddenly widen. Then smirks as she grabs the hand in a way that forces Luan to clamp down on the joybuzzer in her hand shocking her. "No, nice to meet YOU." Said Star with a smile.
The rest of the family applauds Star while Luan chuckles while coughing out some smoke, "Wow dad, you weren't kidding she IS awesome."
Marco nods then continues, "And this is Lynn-
YAAHHHH!" Shouted Lynn as she jumped Star.
"WARNICORN STAMPEDED!" Shouted Star effortlessly, Lynn shouted as the magic horses forcibly dragged her through the wall and out of sight.
Hekapoo sighed, "I'll go get her...again." She flies off...
Marco sighs, "Sorry about Lynn, that's just how she greets people..." He then turns to the only other guy in the room, "And this is my son, Lincoln."
Lincoln blushes as Star looks at him, "Uh...hey Star! Wow, Dad...he told us so much about you...but your WAY better in person." He said awkwardly as he starts to sweat.
The sisters giggle at that knowingly at this while Star just feels conflicted, "Is Marco's son... crushing on me? Wow, that's a new level of awkward I didn't know was even possible."
She then notices something; "I thought they were supposed to look like a mix of both of you?" She asks pointing at his hair.
"What? He has Marco's and mines skin color. It's just mine is in the form of his white hair." Says Hekapoo as she floats down with a groaning Lynn in her arms.
Lisa groans, "That is 'not' how genetics work mother."
Ignoring this, Marco moves on.
"Then we have -LUCY!" Shouts Marco as a bat-winged, black-dressed demon swoops down out of nowhere startling everyone.
Lucy looked at Star, "I won't lie, you seem nice I'd like to TRY and be friends...but I don't do happy and perky." She admitted bluntly.
"Uh...good to know?" Said Star both confused AND creeped out.
Marco sighed but continued, "And then we have the twins lana and Lola-
Twin blurs jumped onto Star knocking her over. "ICAN'TBELIVEITYOURAREALPRINCESSBEMYNEWSISTERPLEASE!" Squealed a demon dressed as a pink, frilly Princess.
The tomboyish twin is equally excited, "YOURTOTTALLYKICKASS!SHOWMETHATTHINGYOUDIDWITHLYNNPLEASE!"
It took the combined effort of both Hekapoo and Marco to drag them off a bewildered Star.
Marco pants from the effort, "Right let's just rap this up, last we have Lisa."
"Nice to meet you." Said Lisa as she adjusted her glasses.
Star waited for her to do anything else...
"I'm not going to do anything unless you want me to." Assured Lisa...
Star let out a sigh of relief, then tries to take this all in. "Your grown up...you have kids...your MARRIED... This is all so surreal." She looks up at the boy she thought she knew -and kinda crushed on- and the demon she'd been Taught to respect and fear.
"How did this happen?"
Marco smirks, "Well...that's a Loooong Story." He settles down and begins the tale...

TO BE CONTINUED?
AN: I know it says "in-progress" but really I just don't like boxing myself into a corner. For now this is more of a one-shot that I might continue one day...but probably won't.
But, hey. Feel free to use whatever elements you want from this, if you want! Or maybe give me ideas?
Love me, flame me, review me
