I own nothing, you know the drill.

Some crazy shit is about to go down.

Marco is as dense as, well...

On to the story!

~Enjoy!~

The first thing Marco felt upon awakening was that he had something in his mouth, possibly a lollipop or something similar to that - so he tried it, a pair of arms wrapping tightly around his head, he then opened his eyes to find that the thing inside his mouth was a purple color - the color of Star's skin to be exact.

His eyes slowly trailed up and sure enough, it was one of Star's breasts. 'We must of fallen asleep like this! Just move slowly Marco and you won't wake her up.' Marco told himself mentally as he carefully maneuvered away from his sleeping girlfriend.

Once he was dressed he headed down the stairs to eat breakfast, knowing school wouldn't start for a few hours - giving Star enough time to get some more sleep and Marco some time to take a much needed shower.

As Marco was drying himself with a towel he heard something fall in a nearby room, he got dressed in the bathroom and went looking through the rooms - until he came across Star's bedroom, the door was ajar, he poked his head into the room and saw Star laying on the floor - she was out cold.

This time skip is brought to you by...

Your over-worked author.

It's been a day or two since Star randomly passed out.

He was sitting next to her bedside, he hadn't slept the prior night or the night before that - he was too worried about Star and their unborn child, he knew she was a tough girl and all but this had never happened before!

His parents insisted he get some sleep that night, so he slept in Star's room on the couch. When the morning came he saw Star up and standing in front of her mirror looking herself over. "Where am I?" He heard her ask. "You're in your bedroom Star." He said walking over to her, she yelped and dove for her wand. "S-Stay away from me, w-whoever you are!" She said in an angry tone - but her tone was shaky with fear and apprehension. "Star, stop playing games. You're freaking me out." He said and went to touch her shoulder to reassure her. "How do you know my name? Don't touch me!" She yelled and slapped his hand away.

Marco was taken aback by her outburst - it was as if she didn't remember him. All to late did he realize that upon her reaching for something nearby was that she was gone in an instant - through a portal that Marco recognized.

In the prior months that were skipped when Star was in the early stages of her pregnancy, Marco was tried for his dimensional scissors.

Now he returns to the Abs Dimension to find his boo!

Time sure went by fast in this particular dimension, except that only minutes had passed on Earth - meaning Star was probably still pregnant. Marco had been searching for his Shining Star for five years - but in the over-world only two minutes had passed.

Eventually he seemed to start forgetting Star, he'd met all sorts of guys and girls in the town, he had a reputation amongst the girls as 'the Buff Boy' because he had a lot more muscle in comparison to anyone else there, hell he'd been lifting weights that were over twenty-five pounds.

Marco ended up at a strange place that night - said strange place also had a fighting arena in the basement, he was up in the main room, talking to an eagle-monster. "You should come watch the fight with me Hammie, I hear it's gonna be epic!" The cool looking eagle said to Marco. "Maybe later." Replied 'Hammie', as he was walking toward the window, that's when the forger of dimensional scissors - Hekapoo started to harass him in more ways than one.

Across from them at the counter was a blunette, a girl with green hair, and a dog-monster. "What's she doing to that poor guy Kelly? Who is she?" The blunette asked the green haired girl. "That's Hekapoo from the forge, and I'm not too sure girl, but it doesn't look good." Kelly said to her friend.

Hekapoo was trying to take the man's clothing off when he whacked her upside the head, he slumped over to a seat and lay his head on the counter. "Damnit Hekapoo, why you gotta do this? I'm just trying and to find my girlfriend..." The blunette felt pity for the male and put her hand on his back. "I'm sure your girlfriend will be glad too see you when find her..." Said the stranger with a smile on her face, the man turned around so he was leaning backward. "It's just hard, ya'know? Hekapoo getting drunk off her ass half the time while fucking around and not even doing her work." He grumbled.

The girl placed a hand over his in a reassuring manner. "Just try and put that behind you, think about now, about your girlfriend and your friends." She offered, suddenly she felt a warm and soft but slightly callous hand touch her stomach. "Bun in the oven?" He asked, her eyes widened in surprise. "How'd you know that?" She asked, looking at him in a quizzical manner, he was gently rubbing her stomach - moving his hand in small circles. "I can tell, I notice these things." He said smiling.

Kelly was about to ask Marco what was going on but refrained from saying his actual name. "So, have you two met before?" She asked, trying not to sound suspicious. "No, I've never met her before today, all I know of her - which is very little - is her title and status." He said kindly, continuing to rub the blunette's swollen stomach.

Eventually Kelly and her blue-haired friend parted ways, Kelly and her dog-monster friend returning home while the blunette went with Marco - he had offered to let her stay the night at his place. He sat her in front of him on his dragon-cycle Nachos, his arms on either side of her.

They soon arrived at his place and he carried her inside, he set her down on the couch before sitting next to her. "I never caught your name by the way, what do they call you?" Asked the girl. "They call me Hammie because of my friend Brunzetta." He said sheepishly. "What about your name? I only know that you're a princess and that you are very important in just about every dimension possible." Marco asked her and followed his question up with the information he had. "Estrella." Answered the girl.

To be completely honest the girl had one thought on her mind. 'Technically I didn't lie to him about my name, all I did was say it in Spanish instead of english.' She eventually fell asleep there next to 'Hammie' who was just glad to have some company.

He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "Seeing her, she reminds me of Star - a lot..." He murmured, gently cradling Estrella in his arms. Though on the inside he was pained by the company of someone so similar to his missing girlfriend - he didn't even remember her face... At least he finally had someone to care for once again, maybe Estrella would fill the void in his heart. "I promise to protect you. You and your baby..." He whispered as he lay sideways on the couch, Estrella was pressed back against him - his left arm was cushioning her head while his right gently held her.

When morning did come Estrella was still asleep in Hammie's arms, he didn't want to disturb her after he woke so he stayed with her, gently stroking her cheek with the back of his hand, his other hand was on her stomach - he could feel the little baby inside her moving slightly. "The father of her kid will be proud. Makes me think of her and our kid - man I miss her so goddamn much." He murmured.

The girl sleeping beside him turned slightly and began to shiver. "S-So c-cold..." She whimpered, Hammie reached for a fuzzy blanket and pulled it over the two of them, kissing her forehead before going back to sleep.

By the time they were both awake it was a bit before the afternoon, 'Hammie' always had stuff on hand to make his famous nachos, he sat down next to his guest as they both enjoyed the nachos, but she could tell something was bothering him. "Hammie what's bothering you?" She asked. "Nothing is Estrella, I'm perfectly fine." He said, trying to avoid talking about his problems. "That was a terrible try at weaseling out of answering the question. Don't you trust me?" She asked with a pout. "I do trust you, but I don't want to talk your ear off about why I'm here in this dimension in the first place..." He confessed. "Yesterday at the fight house you said you were just trying to find your missing girlfriend, maybe I can help find her." Estrella said with a smile.

He scratched at the back of his neck. "It's been five years since I've seen her - I barely remember what she looks like... Well, she actually kind of looked like you but with a tail and a headband." He described, the girl sat still for a moment. "Then this may come as a bombshell to you."

I end this chapter on a cliffhanger!

Technically it's been nine days but I was also writing another story.

What do you think Marco meant by his girlfriend (who he only vaguely remembers), just so happens to look a lot like his new friend?

What could this bombshell even possibly be?

Figure it out and have a good day/night.
