Star was in the middle of watching a movie when she heard the door open. It was Marco, back from his date

"Hey Marco, how was your date?" Star asked

"Not all that great." Marco said, clearly upset

"What happened?" Star asked

"Well, first we were stuck in traffic so we missed the movie, we had to wait for the next screening and had to wait for an hour just to get the our tickets, and of course the movie was terrible." Marco explained

"Come on, it couldn't have been that bad." Star said

"Oh it was that bad, it was so sappy and boring, the couple didn't even hug till half way through the film." Marco ranted

"Hey, I told her an action movie would have been better." Star said, shoveling some popcorn into her mouth

"You have no idea how right you are, but the night wasn't a total loss." Marco said

"Oh, what happened?" Star asked, turning away so Marco wouldn't see her frown

"Well, we did get to talk while waiting for the movie and it was just nice for us to be together." Marco said

"Oh, so at least it wasn't a total loss." Star said

"Yah, but I really gotta step it up next Friday, we're going bowling." Marco said

"Oh, well as long as she doesn't drop her ball on you it should be fine." Star said, trying to keep from sounding jealous

"Hey star, if you want you could come with us, it could be fun." Marco said

"That's sweet Marco, but I wouldn't wanna be a squeaky third wheel on your date, and of course they banned me from the alley until the end of the year." Star said

"Oh right, I forgot." Marco said back to her

"You send out one jawbreaker bomb ball and suddenly you're a criminal." Star joked

The two shared a small laugh at this. The two were then silent while the movie played.

"I'm gonna head up to bed." Marco said, breaking he silence

"Okay, goodnight." Star said as Marco walked upstairs

Star let out a small groan once Marco was out of earshot. She just couldn't help it. She wanted to be happy for him but she just had a hard time fully accepting it. She knew she could be beyond reckless at times but she knew for a fact that she had more of a connection to Marco than a girl he crushed on but never talked to before a year ago. She knew this was just her jealousy talking but she just couldn't believe it.

"I gotta go blow off some steam." Star thought as she grabbed the dimensional scissors

"Hope the 24 hour goblin fight are still going on, because I am ready to get my hands dirty." Star said as she hopped through the portal

MEANWHILE

Marco was in bed, starring at the ceiling. He was thinking about his date with Jackie. While he had a hard time admitting it to himself he knew it was a flop of a night. He had wanted to date Jackie for all these years and now that he had it, he just had a hard time knowing what to think. It's not that he wasn't happy with Jackie, he was. But he just had a hard time of knowing where things were gonna go from here. He was hopping to learn more about her and grow closer, but he honestly didn't know if this was what he wanted. Granted, he knew that assuming everything would just be perfect and no issues would ever come up would be a dumb thing to believe in, but he was hoping that things weren't starting to go downhill for them. He just felt like something was wrong with them but he didn't know what it was.

"Come on Marco, your just paranoid." Marco thought to himself

"Things are fine with Jackie, it was just an off date, you'll make up for it next week." He thought

Marco finally laid down to rest, unsure of whether he was right or not.
