Hey everyone! I hope you liked the last oneshot because I have another for you!
It's official. I'm absolutely obsessed with Star vs FOE. Can't get enough of it. I need help ;_;
Star moaned in pain as she felt her body ache from her cold. She rolled over in her bed, pulling the covers over her face. Her eyes felt too sensitive to the light, her body felt hot but somehow had cold chills hitting her every now and then. Needless to say, she wasn't having a good day so far.
"Hey, Star?"
She slowly opened her eyes and lowered the covers to see her best friend standing next to the bed.
She smiled and weakly responded, "Hey, Marco."
Marco gave a sympathetic look to the poor girl. This was her first cold on earth, meaning her immune system wasn't prepared to deal with the oncoming sickness. He knew he should've done more than just scold Star when she went dumpster diving for stale donuts and bagels. The only thing that surprised him was the fact that she didn't catch anything sooner. "I brought you some soup. Maybe it'll make you feel better."
He handed over a nice hot bowl of chicken noodle soup, carefully placing it on Star's lap.
"Uuuggghhhhh, Marco, I don't feel like eating," she complained, wanting to hide under her blankets again.
"I know, but you haven't eaten anything all day. Your body's gonna need something if you want to get better."
Star gave a sigh of defeat before picking up the spoon and bringing it to her mouth. She took a small sip when-
"OW! Hot hot hot hot hot hot!"
Marco laughed to himself. "It's soup, Star. It's supposed to be hot."
She pouted. "And here I thought you were trying to make me feel better. Death by burning... You're trying to kill me, aren't you?"
"No, that's not-"
"Admit it! You fiend! This was your plan all along! Star Butterfly will not submit to your torture! I will- ow…" She held her head as she felt a sudden pain.
Marco shook his head. 'What am I going to do with you?' He gently pushed Star back on the bed, taking the bowl away. "Alright, Star. Just rest a bit and you can eat the soup later. I'll be back to check up on you in a couple of minutes."
Star grabbed Marco's arm, stopping him in his tracks. "Actually, Marco, I have an idea…"
The boy blushed at the sudden contact. "Y-yes, Star?"
"I think… I know how you can make me feel better…" she whispered suggestively.
Marco shifted uncomfortably. "Yeah? A-and what might that be?" he asked, his voice cracking from embarrassment.
She pulled him closer, bringing her lips to his ear. "Do you think…"
His heart was pounding at the distance between their faces.
She snaked her arms over his neck. "...that you could…"
His face turned bright red. Was she actually about to ask what he was thinking? She couldn't! She didn't think of him like that! Did she? DID SHE? He closed his eyes, waiting for the question to drop.
"...go to Mewni?" she asked innocently.
Marco opened his eyes and look at Star. "...What?"
The princess reached further behind Marco and pulled out her dimensional scissors, waving it in front of his face. "There's a plant in a cave that's said to cure all illnesses, and I want to see if it'll help at all."
Marco stood there, his heart still pounding from the close proximity of their faces. "Uhhh…."
"Don't worry! It's perfectly safe… You should probably take my wand though."
The boy shook his head, regaining some of his senses back. "Wait, hold on, what? The wand? How dangerous is this cave? I don't even know where it is!"
Star brushed off his concerns and continued to ramble on about how to use the wand in self defense. "And then there's the usual cupcake blasts and super flaming rocket wave. I'm sure you can handle it." She pushed the wand into Marco's chest.
Marco desperately tried to push back the wand, but Star wasn't having any of it today. "But- but what if Ludo attacks you while I'm gone?"
She shrugged and pointed to the puppies. "I got those guys. They may be cute, but they do shoot lasers. Besides, it shouldn't take you more than a couple of minutes depending on… how fast… you can run from…"
The princess started to trail off as she slowly closed her eyes, falling back to sleep.
"Run from what? ...Star? Staaarrrr? STAR!?" Marco practically yelled in her ears, but it did little to stir the princess awake. She simply rolled over to the other side with her back turned towards him. He looked down at the two magical items in his hands before looking back at the girl. He sighed, putting away the wand in his back pocket and stroked Star's hair. "The things I do for you…"
He stuck the scissors in the air and cut open a portal leading to Mewni.
Marco stepped out of the portal and into the exotic world of Mewni. Despite exploring different dimensions, Mewni always seemed to impress the human every time they visited. Star would occasionally come back just to show him around (without her parents knowing of course), and while Marco had a general idea of where everything was, Star didn't specify where exactly the cave he needed to travel to was. He looked around, looking for someone to ask, although the commoners of Mewni didn't look quite friendly to him.
"Hey, you! Kid, come over here!" a merchant shouted from his stall.
Marco looked around to see if he was talking to anyone else besides him. He then pointed to himself questioningly.
"Yeah, you. Come here!"
Marco hesitantly walked up to the stall and gave a sheepish smile. "Um… hello?"
The merchant scanned the area, making sure no one was listening on their conversation. "You look like you're new in town, kid."
"Actually, I've been here before-"
"Well you're in luck. I've got just the thing for you. These souvenirs are a perfect gift to give to your girlfriend!" the strange Mewman revealed his intricate objects on the table for Marco to see.
Marco blushed, an image of Star coming to mind. "Girlfriend? I don't have a girlfriend-"
"You're telling me those scissors are actually yours?" He pointed to the magical item that was still in Marco's hand.
"Oh uh…" He put away the scissors in his pockets. "Well no, it's not, but I mean, she isn't my-"
"Yeah, yeah, not your girlfriend. I've heard that story a million times before."
"But she's not-"
"Any of these items interest you, kid?"
Marco shook his head. "I'm not here to buy anything. I'm actually looking for-"
"Ohhh, I see. You want something real unique, don't you? Well I got just the thing." The merchant pulled out a small box and opened it, revealing a watch from Earth.
Marco looked unimpressed. "It's a watch…"
"It's a thing of beauty. People come from other dimensions just to gaze upon this rare piece."
Marco seemed unconvinced at the merchant's offer. "Is that why you have so many people here wanting to buy your stuff?" he sarcastically mentioned, looking around at the nearly empty streets.
"Don't judge a book by its cover, kid. These things are awesome."
Marco let out a sigh. "Yeah, well, I'm not here for you. I need to find a cave that has some magical plant or something."
"A cave you say…" the merchant scratched his chin. "That sounds familiar. I could've sworn I saw one while I was walking here."
Marco lunged towards the Mewman. "What? Really? Where is it?"
"Hmmm… I'm not sure. I'm having trouble remembering where it is. If only there was something that could jog my memory…" he suggested, pushing the cheap items towards Marco.
"Seriously, dude? I don't have time for this." He pushed the items off the table. "Just tell me where it is, man!"
The merchant gave a dirty look. "Hmph. Kids these days. It's over there." He pointed behind him towards the Forest of Certain Death.
Marco felt a wave of disappointment and fear wash over him, yet he wasn't all too surprised. He probably should've expected something like this. "Not this again…" He began walking towards the dark forest, dreading at the thought of monsters that were waiting for him. He stopped at the path and took a deep breath. "Come on, Marco. You're doing this for Star…"
More images of the bubbly girl came to mind. He felt his heart race, not from fear, but from his well kept secret feelings for his best friend.
"You're doing this for Star…"
He pulled out the wand, gripping it tightly as he entered the woods. He could hear unsettling noises in the distance. A roar every now and then, some hisses that sounded as if they were right next to his ear, and glowing eyes that followed the boy as he slowly made his way through the woods. He held the wand close to him, ready to blast any monsters that might jump at him. After a few minutes, he found an opening in a rockside. Marco felt a sense of relief as he ran towards the cave, but stopped just short of the entrance.
"It shouldn't take you more than a couple of minutes depending on how fast you can run from…"
Marco groaned, remembering how Star never finished her sentence. Now he had to worry about something dangerous lurking in the cave. He readied the wand and began to walk forward. The light began to fade as he traveled deeper into the darkness. He used the walls to guide him forward, hoping that he wouldn't get lost. He didn't want to experiment with any spells just yet. He was afraid it would backfire and only make things worse. Besides, the only ones he knew were attack spells, and that's just because Star constantly shouted them out while they were fighting monsters. Attack spells weren't going to help much for lighting up the cave.
Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about having light as he saw something glow in the distance. Marco squinted and could see that it was a flamboyant flower with all the colors of the rainbow on it. He smiled, thinking it was probably the plant that he needed. He approached the glowing flower and plucked it from where it grew. "Finally. Now I just need to…"
He stopped when he saw a floating ball of light hovering in front of him. Star's warning came to mind as he watched the ball come closer to him. Unsure of what to make of it, he slowly backed away, keeping the light at a distant. The light stopped and opened, revealing an eyeball. Then an entire shellfish like body began to form as the light began to disperse across its body.
Marco let out a girlish scream before sprinting in the other direction. The shellfish monster chased after him, its claws snapping at Marco. It grabbed a hold of his hoodie, lifting up the flailing boy. Marco quickly let himself fall through the clothes and landed with a hard thud. The monster ate the hoodie but quickly spit it out. It locked eyes with Marco and let out a screech before chasing after him again. The boy pointed the wand at the giant being and shouted, "N-Narwhal blast!"
The wand shot out its rainbow colored narwhals, impacting against the monster.
"Cupcake blast! Super rainbow dolphin slam!" Marco shouted all the spells he could remember at the shellfish, hoping it would be enough to push it back. The monster cried out, retreating back to the darkness. Marco took this chance to make his escape. He pulled out the dimensional scissors and cut open a portal back to Earth and jumped in before anything else could surprise him.
Marco landed face first on the ground, groaning at the pain.
"Marco!" A familiar voice called out. He looked up to see a completely healthy Star by his side.
"Star?" He sat up, still aching from the encounter. "How are you not sick anymore?"
"I guess you were right. I just ate some soup and I felt all better!" The princess hugged her best friend. "But I'm so glad you're okay! What happened? Where'd you go? What happened to your hoodie? Why'd you leave?"
Marco gave a completely puzzled look. "What? Star, you told me to go to Mewni and get you this plant." He lifted up the intact glowing rainbow flower. "You said people use this flower to make you better."
"I did?" Star examined the flower before realizing what it was. She looked down, letting her hair cover her face. "You… got that for me?"
"Yeah. And let me tell you, it wasn't exactly as safe as you said. There was a giant glowing lobster thing in that cave. It that chased after me, and I almost died!" He shuddered at the memory. "Remind me never to eat seafood again… By the way, here's your wand."
"M-Marco? That's… not just any plant…"
The boy gave an exhausted look. "You mean I got the wrong one? You gotta be kidding me…" He fell back and stared at the ceiling.
"That plant… is only found if you…" Star quietly muttered.
Marco didn't have the energy to care what she was trying to say. He was exhausted. He just wanted to rest. "Alright, I'll get the right thing next time… But can you promise to tell me where exactly the cave is next time?"
"Yeah… next time…"
Marco sighed. "I'm going to my room. Wake me up when my parents get home." With that, Marco painfully exited the room and shut the door, leaving Star with her rainbow flower.
Star pushed her hair away, revealing her bright red face and glowing hearts on her cheeks.
"This plant is only found if you really love someone..."
She carefully picked up the glowing plant and set it next to her bed.
"Marco… got this flower for me…"
She let the thought sink in as her face began to burn from blushing too much. She placed a hand to her face.
"I… think I have another cold…" she said, smiling to herself.
