Queen Moon came running into Star's room, "Where have you been?", she demanded to know. Star answered her and told her that they went to the bounce lounge. A tear fell from Moon's face as she pulled Star into a hug, "Do you know how worried I was". Star just apologized and returned the hug. Moon then stood up and dusted herself off and cleared her throat, "Ahem, Tom will be joining us for dinner tonight". Both Marco and Star got a smile on their face. Star whispered to Marco with a sly grin, "You thinking what I'm thinking?". Marco immediately answered her with a, "Definitely, but just to be sure what are we thinking?". Star sighed and took Marco by the hand and ran to her mother, "Mom, would it be ok if I invited someone over, she and Tom know each other and I dont want him feeling left out". Queen Moon thought about it for a while and the agreed, "So where is this friend of your's and Tom's?". Star scratched the back of her head, "Well she is from Earth". Moon spat out her tea, "Earth? How would Tom know someone from Earth?", she gave Star a questionable look. Marco then spoke up and said, "Long story, but Tom will really enjoy her company". They convinced Moon.
Upon reaching their room Star toom out her phone and called her. The phone was ringing, 'ring', 'ring', 'ring', "Oh c'mon stupid phone", Star said with annoyance. 'Ring', "Ohh hey Star", said the voice from the phone. Star had to tell her quickly, she had to get it off of her chest, "Hey Janna banana, So Tom is coming to dine with us tonight... so I was wondering would you...", Star got cut off with a Janna just saying yes and some squealing, "Ok it is formal wear and we'll be picking you up shortly". Janna jumped on her bed and screamed into her pillow, she was excited. She then ran to her closet and started going through her dresses, one at a time. "Nope, nope, nope, oh wait... nope, yes!", Janna had finally found the right dress, it was black, long and a strap from the left side that is strewn over to her right. Her highheels matched her dress perfectly. Now it was time for her hair, she combed and straightened it, her hair hung loose. She put blood red lipstick on, and with that she was ready. The blades of a pair of scissors appeared in front of her, it began cutting from the bottom to the top and where the scissors had cut, left a gaping hole of a void. Out of this void stepped a man, who played a tiny piece of the royal on his trumpet before saying, "Dear mis Janna Ordonia, you have been invited to the royal dinner on Mewni, it would be advisable to come, but if you do not want to I will have to relay the bad news".
Janna and Manfred stepped through the portal, they were in front of the castle door, upon opening the massive door it revealed a short buff blonde man and and a tall skinny blue haired woman and both wore crowns. Janna bowed in their presence. "You must be Tom Lucitor's date I presume?", the Queen asked. Janna stuttered, "Y..Yes your highness". Star came barging into the room, "Mom stop scaring my friend". Moon broke out in giggles, "Star, it was just small talk". Janna now felt more at ease. Star looked at Janna with a shocked expression, "Janna, you look beautiful". Star was still in her normal attire, but Marco came walking down the stairs he wore brown leather shoes, a black pants, a white shirt, a black tie and a light blue blazer, his hair was also neatly combed. Star looked at her boyfriend, blush crept up her face, she only thought one thing, "This is what the future king of Mewni looks like". "Star?", Marco asked the daydreaming princess this however snapped Star out of her trance. "I need to get dressed", Star yelled before conjuring up her cloudy charm, it was a purple cloud that had purple wings and a cute little face, to speed her off to her room. "You look good Janna, the black dress really suits you", Marco said to her, Janna responded in a quiet cool tone, "I know, it's the same color as my soul (playful scoff) and you don't look to bad yourself Diaz". A conflicted Marco just thank her nervously. Something urged Marco to look up the stairs. There was Star. She wore her red horned headband, an rosey red dress, red pumps and a clear lip gloss that brought out the natural beauty of her lips. She was breathtaking, alluring, gorgeous, charming. She was beautiful. Marco stared at her, he was awestruck and paralyzed with the sight more beautiful than a stary night sky.
'Ding', the doorbell rang, a guard came running into the dining hall where all of them were, he said in a serious way, "The duke, Mr Lucitor, of the underworld has arrived". He then went back to his post. A gigantic shriek came from the door as it opened. A figure stepped from the light, he had red spiky hair, a horn on each side of his head, three blood red eyes, a black tuxedo complimented his pale grey skin, and a red tie to match his eyes amd a white shirt to break the dark colors a bit. The corner of his eyes caught on a fimiliar figure that was barely visible, he wondered if Janna was there, "Is she here... Wait why would she be on Mewni its not like she'll just be there", Tom said as his face dropped a bit upon seeing that the figure was none other than Star. He knew it, he knew she wasn't there. A shadow glided past him, he heard a whisper in his ear that sent a chill down his spine, "I'm glad to see that we can show the kids how it's done again, right mr Demon dude?". Tom's face flared up at the sound of her voice he turned around as quickly as he could, he picked her up with a hug. Tom felt embarrassment fill him as he remembered everyone in the room. Queen Moon giggled and shoved Star on the side, "You weren't joking when you said he'd enjoy her company". Star returned the giggle and then gave Janna a subtle yet big thumbs up.
In the dining hall, the food was set down in front of everyone. Moon stood up and tapped on her glass, "A toast... To the new young couples". River laughed with a mouth full of food, "A cheers to the bride and groom-to-be's". Everyone lifted their glasses and with a 'clink' the rest around the table began eating. Star and Marco stuffed their faces with the corn, roasted corn with butter, Janna and Tom on the other hand ate like civilized people taking their time and using the proper cutlery. An increasingly weighted pit formed in Marco's stomach, something was coming, something malicious, vicious, evil. Something that he knew was out of his control. He brushed it off as a nervous stomach for eating too much corn. Star noticed the sweat over his face and a worried look on his face. "Hey Marco are you ok?" Star asked as she took his hand in hers. Her hand was warm, soft and small, he knew those hands all to well. With their hands together Marco felt as his worry began slipping away, the worry vanished but the feeling remained the same. Marco told Star, "It is just a bit of an overfed belly", while he slapped his stomach. Tom and Janna were in their own world, they were talking non-stop. They held each other's hand, and really enjoyed their night. Star looked at Marco and got a big smile, Marco shook his head but to no avail. Star shoved her elbow into Tom's side softly, she had snapped him out of his trance, which frightened him a bit causing him to retract his once occupied hand. Tom looked at Star, she had a grin and she then asked, "So are you guys?". Janna burst out laughing at how flustered Tom was, his cheeks matched his hair. Janna took his hand once again and she said, "We are now the same as you were before Diaz asked you to be his princess". Very confused Marco also was flustered now and he stuttered, "H..How'd you kn..know that we didn't start dating right off the bat?". Janna got a sly grin, "I'm Janna and I know things remember... (a moment of silence) ohh and Star told me", she said the last bit quickly. Marco yelled, "What!, (he then moved his head to Star) Star?". Star just giggled and gave an apologetic look. Marco then asked Star in a whisper, "Did you tell her everything?".
