Disclaimer: I do not own Star VS. The Forces of Evil, and if I did, I would find much better ways to waste my time and yours. I don't know why I wrote this; I just felt in the mood to write a sad fic. R&R and feel free to leave a suggestion. Or don't, Idfc. It's not like this is a worthwhile waste of your time. I don't even know why I bother.

Starless Skies

Star Butterfly. How could someone not love her? She was an amazing person, from her upbeat, bubbly personality to her beautiful golden hair. She was the most gorgeous girl I had ever met in my life. How she had fallen for someone like me was beyond me, but I never asked her.

We didn't plan any of it.

We had agreed to just be friends a few days after she arrived, but after I got over Jackie and Oscar got sent to juvie (don't ask; it's a long story), we only had each other to turn to.

She was the first to say it.

I still remember it like it was yesterday. She woke me up early on Saturday and took me to her room. She told me she loved me. I told her I loved her too. We hugged. We kissed. I tasted sugar. We couldn't be happier. I loved her, and she loved me. I thought we were going to get our fairy tale ending.

But I was wrong.

It was a thought I had thrown into the darkest pits of my subconscious. I knew it was going to happen. I knew Star would have to leave someday. I knew she would go back to Mewni. But it hit me so hard when she finally did. It was four years of happiness for us before that dreaded day came.

It was raining hard all that day.

The day that portal opened in her room was the worst of my life. Her mother came in late that night while we were in her room together, just enjoying each other's company. The three guards told Star to pack her things. The smile she always wore melted from her face in an instant, and my heart shattered, like glass shot by a bullet. I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest, like it had been shredded, broken, split in half, and thrown away.

The day after she left was sunny and beautiful.

It was the most beautiful day I had seen in my life. The sun was bright and shining down on the small town of Echo Creek. It was just warm enough to wear shorts, but not unbearably hot. There were birds singing in the trees. I thought the day couldn't be better.

And I remembered.

I remembered her mother. I remembered the guards. I remembered the look of sorrow on her face. I remembered the look of guilt and pity on her mother's face. I remembered the sternness and near brutality of the guards. I remembered the last sugary kiss she gave me. I remember holding her for the last time. I remembered seeing her for the last time as the portal closed. I remembered the rain.

I remembered the starless skies I looked up at that night.

The days that followed were unbearable. I couldn't sleep without her by my side. I couldn't get through the day without her support. I couldn't care about what happened to me if she wasn't there to care for me.

And, as I would soon learn, I couldn't live.

Ludo showed up a few months after Star was taken away. His monsters laid waste to the town. They burned down homes. They tore down buildings. They destroyed everything. Except for one thing. Something that had shattered long ago. They had repaired it.

Me.

They came for me first. The decimated the house as they scrounged every square foot to find me. And when they did, they did me a favor.

They ended my suffering.

I wanted to see her. I wanted to be reunited. I wanted to kiss her again. But the rain came again. It mingled with my tears as they rolled down my spiritual face.

And I still look up at starless skies.

THE END

There ya go. fic's over. No second chapter, no sequel, no alternate ending, just this. This is how the story ends. If you cry, you cry. Life isn't always rainbows. Sometimes there's fire.
