Now let's get started!
Marco's eyes gently opened, waking up to a brand new day. Sunlight was shining through his window, giving the room a calming glow. Marco slowly sat up in his bed, rubbing his eyes. He looked around and saw that Ferguson and Alfonzo were nowhere to be seen. He assumed that they went to eat breakfast and decided to join them. He jumped out of bed and quickly folded his blanket. He yawned as he walked out the door in his light blue pajamas. As he walked out, he saw someone that made him immediately wake up fully.
"Oh, hey Marco," Star said, giving him a smile. Marco looked at her in her lavender sleeping dress. He actually felt his cheeks beginning to burn and his mouth starting to dry up.
"Oh, h-hey Star," Marco stuttered, unsure of why he was nervous. He ruffled his messy hair, not enjoying the awkward silence.
After a while, Star finally spoke up. "Hey. Are things OK between us? I mean, I know we... kissed before, but..."
Marco then spoke up in alarm. "Oh, no! We're cool! We're cool!"
Star tilted her head and her eyes sparkled in concern. "Then why are you blushing?"
Marco quickly covered his face, embarrassed. Star couldn't help but giggle. "I-I'm not blushing! W-why are you laughing?"
"Because you're cute," Star said, not realizing what she said until she saw Marco's eyes widen. Star quickly shook her hands and sputtered, "I... I mean... the blushing was cute! I don't think you're cute!"
Marco looked at her, kind of insulted. Star quickly tried to correct herself again. "No, t-that's not what I meant! You're adorable... no! I mean... sigh." Star face-palmed, frustrated with herself.
Marco then put his hand on Star's shoulder, which made her stomach fill with butterflies. "It's cool, Star. I understood what you meant. Thank you for... saying that." Marco looked down, rubbing his foot on the carpet. "I think you're adorable, too."
The hearts on Star's cheeks began to glow the second she heard that. "Y... you do?"
Marco smiled. "Of course." Then he waved his hands nervously. "I-I don't mean it like... you know... that."
Star nodded, a little bummed out but still happy. "Oh, of course! Same for me!"
The two looked at each other, smiling and brushing. Then, Marco quickly walked away. "I'm going to... *cough*... take a shower. See you later."
Star watched him walk away, still blushing. "Bye," she quietly said, leaning against the wall and sighing. After a couple of seconds, she began to jump up and down and squealed in excitement.
"He thinks I'm adorable! Eeeeeeeeee!" Star exclaimed, practically dancing.
"Uh... Star?"
Star turned around to see Sabrina standing there, looking confused. Star froze right in place, in the middle of her dance. She looked at Sabrina, unsure of what to do.
"Uh... umm...," Star tried to find something to say, but came up with nothing.
"Um... were you celebrating Marco calling you adorable?" Sabrina asked. She then let out a small gasp. "Wait, do you LIKE Marco?"
"Whaaaaaaat? Psssh... No!" Star exclaimed, nervously laughing. She twirled a strand of her blonde hair with her ring finger and bit her bottom lip. Sabrina leaned against the wall and folded her arms, smiling.
"Are you sure? 'Cause your red face tells me otherwise," Sabrina said, causing Star to hide her face.
Star then sighed, and looked desperately at Sabrina. "Please, please, PLEASE don't tell him."
Sabrina gave her a warm smile. "Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me. But... I think you should tell him yourself."
Star eyes widened in panic. "N... no! I can't do that! He... he likes Jackie, and she likes him back! I'm going to help them get together." Star then looked down in sadness. "Besides... I know he would never like me back."
Sabrina smile widened, much to Star's confusion. "You really don't realize it yet, do you?"
"Realize what?" Star asked, tilting her head in concern.
"You'll see," Sabrina said, still smiling. She then looked Star up and down. "But first, we need to find you an outfit that'll make Marco lose his mind!"
Star raised her hands up and shook her head. "No, no, no. I'm not trying to impress him." Sabrina then put her hand on Star's shoulder.
"Trust me, put on something amazing. You'll see," Sabrina said, walking away.
Star watched her walk away, frustrated. " Stop saying that! What does it mean?" Sabrina looked back and smiled as she turned the corner, leaving Star by herself.
Star looked at her wand in her hand, deep in thought. After a couple of seconds, she pointed the wand at herself. She took a deep breath and shouted a spell. A pink and purple cloud formed from her wand, surrounding the princess.
After Marco finished his shower, he walked into the kitchen to only find it empty. He looked around for the others in the house until he looked out the window and saw everyone sitting in beach chairs near the shore. He smiled as he walked out the door, cheerfully greeted by the others.
"Hey, Marco!" Everyone said to Marco.
"Hey, everyouhhhhh..." Marco began to say, but was then distracted and awestruck by the appearance of a certain friend.
Star was standing with her back to Marco, looking out at the ocean. When she heard everyone greet Marco, she quickly turned towards him and smiled. She had on a light blue tank top and blue skinny jeans. Her hair was neatly brushed and there was a certain glow about her. Marco looked at her, starting to feel weak. He couldn't help but look into her bright blue eyes, shining brighter than ever.
"Marco? You OK?" Ferguson asked, waving his hand in front of Marco. He had on a dopey smile and a dreamy look as he continued to look at Star.
"I... uh... um...," Marco tried to say something, but couldn't put any words together. Star looked like an angel with the rising sun behind her. Marco felt like he could look at her forever. Unfortunately, he was interrupted by a slap from Ferguson.
"Ow!" Marco exclaimed. He glared at Ferguson, who ran behind Justin. Marco looked sheepishly at Star, who was giggling.
"Good morning, sweetie," Mrs. Diaz greeted her son as she handed him a plate of bacon and eggs. "Jackie saved you a seat next to her."
Marco looked at Jackie, who waved at him. Marco smiled at her as she walked towards the empty seat. He thought he would be nervous to be sitting next to his lifelong crush, but he didn't really feel anything. He realized that Jackie was pretty, but the butterflies weren't coming to him. As he sat down, he saw Star sitting across from him.
"Hey, Marco," Star whispered, giggling. Now Marco could feel the butterflies coming to his stomach. He tried to eat his eggs, but his hand kept shaking because of his nerves. Star looked at him, confused.
Jackie also looked at him. "Here, let me help you." She then grabbed his hand to steady it. Marco and Jackie looked at each other and blushed. Star glared at Jackie, the heart's on her cheeks turning into dark and stormy clouds.
Speaking of dark and stormy clouds, they rose over the beach. Everyone looked up as the clouds began to cover the sun. Rain began to fall quickly, causing everyone to walk quickly to the house.
"Protect the food!" Ferguson yelled, gobbling up his bacon and eggs to keep them safe. The rain fell harder, pelting everyone with sharp raindrops.
Everyone finally got into the house, dripping in water. Star shivered where she was standing, her perfect hair now wet and ruined. Marco walked over, looking concerned.
"You're freezing, Star," he said. He then took off his favorite red hoodie. He blushed as he gave it to her. "Here, put this on."
Star looked at him, shocked and flattered. He was giving her his favorite hoodie just to keep her warm. She was reluctant to take it (despite thinking it was the sweetest thing in the world), especially when she saw him shivering in his light brown shirt.
Star shook his head. "No, you're freezing too. You need it."
Marco also shook his head, smiling shyly. "No, you need it more than me. I don't want you to get sick."
Star looked at Marco, still unsure. "I don't know..."
Marco then gave her puppy-dog eyes and pouted his lips. "Please? For me?"
Star couldn't believe how cute he looked at that moment. She couldn't help but giggle, unable to say no to his adorableness. "OK, OK. Thanks, Marco."
Marco smiled as she put on the hoodie. She loved how did and warm it felt on her. Marco nearly died when she hugged herself and snuggled up against the hoodie.
"How do I look?" Star asked, nervously smiling.
Perfect! Amazing! You look like the most beautiful girl in the world! These thoughts raced in his head, dying to let them out.
"You look good," Marco said, smiling and blushing.
