Hey lovelies, guess who's finished with exams? *points thumb* This girl.

Thank you guys for all the reviews, I'm happy to know what you guys think of my writing! Oh, and regarding that last chapter...

I don't know what y'all are talking about. They were just going to make out for a few hours, what else would they be doing. Psh...

And regarding this chapter, nothing like blasting a douchenizzle and calling him out on stuff which ends in him leaving and having a close time with the bae afterwards.

I don't own SVTFOE.

Marco settled against the sofa in the library, letting out a breath as he placed down the book he had tried reading - for the millionth time. Star had been gone for quite a while, and he was starting to get bored.

Star had taken all afternoon with some prince guy from the neighbouring kingdom of...Andelesia, he thinks, about trade business or kingdom joining, something of that sort. As she had reassured him, she wouldn't be that long. Until then, he'd have to busy himself with something.

He sighed, he had been doing that for the longest while now. Maybe he should explore the castle a little bit more, take a walk through the gardens or -

A deafening boom came from what sounded like the royal study and Marco jolted out of his musings. Confused, he abandoned the sofa and jogged to where he thought it came from and he could see the aftermath of a blast that he was well acquainted with on earth - smoke was everywhere, and Marco hacked as he inhaled a good bit. Some of the cute creatures that appeared when Star casted a spell were sprawled out on the torn-apart door frame and Marco blinked. What the...

Another boom sounded immediately after the thought passed through his mind, but this time; an explosion came with it. It threw him backwards, and he shook his head to get rid of the slight disorientation. When the fog cleared, he could see Star stomping out of the room - looking ready to kill something.

Speaking of the princess, she huffed as her steps hitting the tiled floor harshly. Ugh...All she wanted, was for this afternoon to be at least tolerable. At least. But no, everything just had to be so...ugh. She knew she would probably hear from her mother about this, but right now; she really didn't care.

In the mist of her anger, she couldn't shake off the feeling of something watching her and her gaze landed on Marco on the floor. Her heated look slipped away and she raised an eyebrow at his raised ones, matching his surprised gaze.

"Marco?"

He opened his mouth to answer but an angry voice interrupted his chance.

"You!"

A red-haired male stomped out from what used to be the library, holding his arm. Marco's eyes narrowed as he recognized him, the same turd he spoke with from a ball not too long ago. Star's reaction was the same, her eyes flooding back with ire.

He stopped in front of the couple, and Marco could see his puffy suit was stained with some red liquid...and covered with Star's wand creatures.

"How dare you do this to me?!" He came nose to nose with the princess, whose long hair was puffing up slightly - signifying that she was close to exploding. "What kind of princess -"

"The same kind of princess who blasted your ass for your little stunt." She spat the last word as if it was poison.

Behind him, the king and queen jogged towards them, eyes widening at the state of the library and the scene before them. Queen Moon raised an eyebrow at Marco and he shook his head, he had no idea what exactly happened yet.

Star carried on, not noticing their presence. "I should've blasted you ten times harder than I did."

The prince however did and - Marco noticed, immediately froze. He coughed and tried to calm Star down. "Princess..."

"Oh no." She would have none of what he was trying to pull. "No, no, no. Don't you try to pretend to be a saint when Marco's here."

"Who?" He finally noticed that Marco was still on the floor, a little behind Star. He looked at him with clear disdain and he nearly felt his blood boil. "Oh, him."

"Darling," King River finally spoke. "What's going on?"

Star blinked at her father's voice, now realizing that her parents were there. She quickly recovered from her surprise though."Why don't you ask him?" Her voice was eerily calm. "Go on, Charles."

Charles - Marco tasted the name, it fitted him honestly. A douchebag name for a douchebag of a guy - blinked at the King and Queen. "Uh..."

"What's the matter, Charles?" She folded her arms. "Can't admit that your pampered hands tried to touch me?"

Marco's eyes widened at that, his stunned gaze locked onto the back of her head. He felt a spike of anger surge through him, mentally asking himself if what she said is exactly what he heard.

"What?" He allowed the word to come out of his mouth, he held back the other words though.

Queen Moon looked surprised as well, anger slipping onto her features as she stepped forward, most likely to confront the prince. King River saw it coming however, and held her back. As upset and appalled as he was, this was their daughter's fight. And they would step in when necessary.

"I.." Charles cleared his throat. "I did no such thing. Your daughter's overreacting."

Okay, now he had to get up. He got to his feet, and gave him a look that could melt steel. "What?"

"Oh, don't make me laugh." Charles turned his attention to him, giving him a are-you-serious look.

"Oh your highness," Marco spat. "You must forgive me. You see, Star would never make up something like this. Are you suggesting she's lying?"

"...I - Who do you think you are?" Charles looked outraged at his words. "You're in the presence of a prince, a princess and her family. And referring to her without any formality?!"

"I'm her boyfriend actually." He didn't know where all his backsass was coming from, probably from the fact that he couldn't say any of this whenever any prince visited the castle and acted like this.

Wait, Marco blinked as recollected his words, he just revealed that they were dating. He groaned inwardly, he was supposed to wait until another ball came up to announce it. Good going, safe kid.

Oh well, if he was going to be honest, the guy's face made him smirk and all proud inside.

"Oh, please." His face was shocked indeed, but turned back to disbelief in a split second. "Do you honestly expect me to believe -"

"There's a reason I turned you down, Charles." Star firmly said, narrowing her eyes. "I'm already being courted. And not by the likes of you."

There was a pause, Charles taking in her words while the two glared at him. The King and Queen were still trying to take in the situation. After a while, he frowned.

"Well." He grimaced, his obnoxious voice drawling. "I supposed it's not worth it after all."

Star's jaw dropped at that while Marco gave a disgusted look. The blonde sputtered a response. "I...what?!"

"I meant, princess, that I won't be courting someone who is improper enough to throw her drink at me." He scoffed, his eyes furiously boring into hers. "You shouldn't even call yourself a princess!"

Marco blinked at his words, Star did what? He deserved after all, but the half-latino couldn't get the image of Star flinging her glass and him getting soaked with wine out of his head. He snickered softly but Charles immediately focused on him.

"Oh, shut up you plebeian." He spat and Marco instantly went back to his enraged mode. "It's people like you that should be put in your place."

"My place?" Marco shot back. "Oh, your majesty, it seems to be you who has forgotten yours. Someone ought to show it to you."

"As if you ever could." He snarled, getting right into his face. "I'd love to see you try."

Marco clenched his fists, thinking that he should take him up on his offer when Star forced her way between them and pushed him off.

"Look, I am just getting tired of this." She sighed, rolling her eyes. "And I don't care how important you think you are. You deserved that drink to the face, you deserved that blast to the face and I'm sorry I didn't blast you more."

His green eyes widened, shocked at her words and at her defiance. His eyes narrowed and his left hand twitched, and he drew it back. Marco's eyes drifted to it, catching the movement and growled; swiftly snatching his wrist in a iron-lock hold. Charles struggled, trying to escape but sighed after Marco's grip didn't loosen. Marco's eyes were narrowed, staring straight into his green eyes - which even as he tried to hide it, were slipping into slight fear.

"If you were going to do what I thought you were going to do," Marco's voice dropped to a eerily calm tone, but anyone could tell the suppressed anger laying behind his words. " -You better reconsider."

He swallowed, trying to divert his green eyes anywhere that wasn't Marco's brown ones. "Fine." Marco immediately released his hand, causing Charles to go topple backwards slightly.

Star's blue orbs were wide as she stood a little behind Marco, glancing to where Charles was, fixing his outfit to regain his composure - it was futile though, the wine stains kind of took away from it. Marco's glare never wavered, watching the prince's every move - however, his next words surprised him.

"Well, as nice as this meeting was..." Marco rolled his eyes at the sarcasm. "I think I should go."

There was a pause, however small and it was interrupted by the blonde princess.

"...What." Star's mouth dropped simultaneously as Marco's glare dropped, a shocked look replacing it. When Charles gave a look in return, Star's hair puffed up again; Marco stepping away slightly.

"You...Are you serious?" Her surprise slipped back into anger, her fists clenching. "You do.. this, and expect to just up and leave?"

He kept up his cool demeanor, checking the watch on his hand. "We've discussed all we needed to, I'm sure and I really must be going." He then fixed her with a slight smirk, one that angered her to her core. "I'll tell father I was unsuccessful, but not to give up yeah?"

He then began to stride towards her more, though keeping a safe distance in fear of another spell attack - which probably was a good thing, and his voice, if it was any more possible, changed to something much more slimier.

"It is a pity though," He shrugged nonchalantly - his green eyes smiled at Star's clenching fists as his voice crawled up her spine. "I was so looking forward to spending much longer with you but, it is clear that it would be a waste of my time. Oh well, I do suppose I deserved much better."

He then turned on his heel, satisfied with Star's reaction and that of Marco's - who, looked as if he would've knocked the smirk off of his aggravating face. And right he was. The half-Latino stepped forward, ready to confront him again when a hand stopped him from doing so. His eyes traveled the hand's arm to its owner who, shook her head slightly and a glare of her own on her face and he nodded. He knew that look all too well.

Seeing as he got the message, she stepped forward with her eyes locked on the prince's retreating form. Her hair rose and the wand in her hand came to life. The King and Queen, who were still trying to take it all in, glanced to their daughter and Queen Moon shivered. "You might want to step back," She ordered to her slightly confused husband.

Marco stepped back as well, trying to not be in the way when Star's voice rang out.

"What you deserve," She spoke, her wand raised, hearts alight and voice close to a growl - Charles turned slightly to acknowledged her. "..Is this."

With that she fired, her rainbow-ish blast boomed out of her wand and closed in on him as he tried to get out of its path. It was in vain however, as it hit - causing him to fly a few feet back into the nearest wall. He hit it with a sound smack!, slumping to the ground few seconds later.

Everyone save Star winced, and Marco was just about to ask exactly how hard and powerful did she intend for the wand blast to be when there was a soft groan - Charles tentatively moved his body, taking a while to get back on his feet.

He looked towards the princess, his left arm outstretched towards his back and wincing while his right was held up, pointing an accusing finger at her.

"You, you little...ugh!" He growled. "Look at what you've done! You -" He attempted to stretch out his back and gestured to his wine-stained clothing. He gave a loud huff. "Do you realize that you have cost your kingdom the chance of royal joinage?! Because, as of right now, this is the last kingdom I want to join with."

She gave an airy shrug - Marco gave a confused look, muttering "Joinage?" under his breath - "There's lots of other kingdoms out there. And while it is better for future situations, Mewni doesn't really need it right now."

He looked livid by her answer but didn't lash out. He turned. "I'm going home."

"Wait," Marco's attention snapped towards the prince again and raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean 'You're going home'?"

He scoffed, making the brunet's blood boil. "Exactly what I said. I'm going home to Andelesia.. and I'm going to report this to the kingdom's council. Word shall spread and kingdoms shall be notified of this...horrendous trip."

"And I bet you're going to leave out the whole I-tried-to-quickly-grope-the-princess-deal, aren't you?" Star narrowed her eyes. "Oh well, I'll just explain my side of the story to people who aren't as dense as you."

He growled, and quickly limped towards the castle doors, slamming them shut. A yelp of pain could be heard from outside and Star rolled her eyes.

Marco dashed to her immediately, his eyes and hands running over her form. "Are you okay? I mean, you're obviously not but did he hurt you? If he did juro a dios - "

Star gave a small smile at this, halting him by placing a hand onto his shoulder. "I'm fine, Safe Kid."

"Star..." Queen Moon breathed, placing a comforting hand on her daughter's shoulder. "Do you wish to report this? Because it should be right for the very same council to hear about this."

"It's fine, mom." She waved her hand. "I just kinda want to relax for the rest of the evening. If anything, I'll do it later."

"If you're sure, darling." River gave her a unsure look and she smiled to reassure him. "Well, I suppose we'll have to re-do the library...again."

"Again?" Marco raised an eyebrow at the blonde in his arms.

"Tom."

"Ah."

Star yawned and glanced towards Marco. "Down time?"

"Down time." He gave her a one armed hug and kissed her forehead. "Then, you can explain this whole situation to me?"

"Sure, just be prepared if I'm not as upset as I was. Blasting a jerk took a lot out of me."

"Noted. Though I might be upset for you."

"Noted."

And now, back to disappearing for a month until I come up with something new. Oooooooooooh...
