Chapter 2- Girls' Night

Sunday came rolling round and Star glanced around as she watched her cartoons and ate her sandwich. Marco wasn't with her which was odd, until she remembered his date. She shuddered. The door bell rang out and Angie yelled, "I'll get it!" as she skipped to the door and opened it. "Jackie!"

"Hey Mrs Diaz," the guest replied. Star's head whipped around to see the overly chill girl looming over her head. Jackie Lynn Thomas. "Hey Star," she greeted happily. Happy-she-had-Marco happily, Star thought and scrunched up her face a bit. She waved anyway.

Jackie was in green shorts today and a white singlet. Her trainers were blue and her hair was done up in a small ponytail. "We're going to a couple's marathon, then the movies and finally the park," she explained.

"Well, couples gotta get their groove on!" Star joked and they both laughed.

"Anyway, I'm sorry if I'm cutting in on any of your activities, both now and in future…" Jackie apologised which tore up Star even more. Even though it was bone crushing to hear her, Marco needed to create more time for his girlfriend by deleting time for his best friend.

"...It's alright Jackie…" Star sighed. She had been doing a lot of sighing lately. How disturbing. "Marco always takes too long to dress up, I'm surprised you haven't missed anything," she teased as Marco emerged in a red singlet and blue shorts. His red belt was his red headband today.

Jackie was shocked and blushing. He looked adorable; she squeaked and ran forward, "Marco!"

Marco smiled the same and ran forward, he exclaimed as his arms wide open, "Jackie!"

"Star!" Star Butterfly yelled and laughed. They were kissing, right in front of her. "You guys, um, don't want to be late," she stated at she poked at Marco. They broke.

"Oh yeah," Marco said and dragged Jackie out of the house. "What are we doing today?" he asked as they were outside.

"A couple's marathon, movies and park," Jackie answered as they walked away. Star was still leaning over the sofa, sadly. Her best friend didn't even acknowledge her. Maybe he was too caught up with Jackie already.

Angie's joyous laughs filled her mind as she clapped.

Star so badly wanted to spy on them already, but no. her wand was already glistening green, and following them could trigger it more. She needed peace, no boys, no worries. She flicked open her phone and requested for Janna, Kelly and Ponyhead to come over for a girls' night.

"It hurts so much," she cried into a pillow. Kelly pat her back while dodging the huge ray of green her wand shot. "I love him so much, he doesn't even notice…"

"Look, I don't know what to say but telling him will result in catastrophe," Janna reasoned and shrugged. "Apart from John Keats, I don't see what girls see in boys, honestly," further saying, she did not really have a crush ever. Star hiccupped. Janna was seen as flirtatious in a weird way but had no intention of actually being in a relationship. "Where's StarFan?" Janna inquired after silence.

"A family trip," She replied. Not wanting more than to have a fun basic girls' night.

"No, B-Fly, you need to take your mind off Turd. Be more cold-shouldered and don't give him hugs. That could cool your feelings a bit." Ponyhead suggested. "I mean, you ARE so warm that you feel warm to him. Maybe being cold to him could change your overall perspective on him."

Kelly did not muster a word. Out of all of them, she was the only one who had a boyfriend and she hadn't a clue on what to say. "Maybe, you could just spend more time with us. Seeing less of Marco means less chances of contemplating your feelings. That's what I did when Tad and I broke up; I was broken until I decided to do that…"

"You could do all we've said," Janna added. Star brightened a bit. A dim light bulb glowed over her head, at least. "Now, let's have some real fun." The four had smirks on their faces and gleefully tore up a portal.

At midnight, the girls came back finally and replayed their footage. First, three pair of feet walking together until the camera lifted up. "Heeeheeeheeeheee…" Star giggled as Ponyhead flew in front of her with a bucket of water. They approached a large bed with a sleeping demon in it. Ponyhead began putting out the fires around the bed, in the whole room.

Kelly squirted around the blankets carefully and gave Janna a thumbs up. Janna dropped the camera and ran next to the bed. Star shot a water disguise unto her. Now Janna's usually dark hair was just transparent and flowing. Her clothes turned to a white dress. Out of nowhere, Star brought up a saxophone to wake the demon. Kelly and Ponyhead hid behind the table.

Tom propped up on the bed and stared in horror. "I watch you while you sleep…" Janna murmured. "Now I will kill you..." He yelled and threw a ball of fire. She dodged and with aid of Star, tossed a water ball unto his head. He screamed at water's touch. Star giggled. Janna slapped him to shut up.

"What do you want instead of that?" He grumbled.

"Say this backwards: og a si ocmot…" Janna laughed. The girls had thought of different mash-ups of names; Starco, Jarco, Tally, Tomco; and more earlier.

"Tomco is a go…" Tom recited and his eyes narrowed. Janna was laughing her head off as the spell wore off. "Wait… that's not true… and what happened to my room?!" Janna paused and bolted. Kelly got up from her hiding place and grabbed Ponyhead. Star dashed after them. Tom blew up fire balls aiming for them. They jumped into the portal as it closed. "Where did they get the Tomco idea from anyway?" Tom muttered to himself as they left.

Next, Janna was in a princess costume; her beanie was a beanie-crown. Ponyhead had Kelly plait her flowing mane down and put on lipstick. Star was in her royal dress. Kelly's bush was in a princess hair band; she wore a shirt and a puffy skirt; which looked like a dress.

The girls spray-painted all over Miss Heinous' office. They sprayed the words 'REBEL PRINCESSES' 'FUN' 'CRAZY' and such all over. They had enjoyed themselves until Ponyhead sprayed, 'IT'S NOT CRMINIAL, TO BE AN INDIVIDUAL.' "What?" she questioned as Star whined and frowned. Her eyes glistened and she got her wand up. Her spell obliterated the phrase while the three others watched in horror. She was crying again.

Guards, although had loosened up now because of the uprising, still had jobs to do and came in groups to catch the mischievous princesses. "Come on, Star," Ponyhead used her mouth to try and drag the tear struck princess into the portal behind them.

"After them!" a guarded ordered, dramatically pointing a finger them. Several others dashed in, only to be thrown back after 'BOILED EGGSTRAVANGZA!' had been announced. They had been covered in by broken eggs in all sizes, pots and angry chickens.

The final event of the night was them at a dance party. The girls danced to the greatest songs across dimensions. Star enjoyed herself; the footage zoomed in on her and her group simultaneously dancing the same thing. The lights flashed green, pink, blue and yellow over and over, displaying the last song to be played that night. Everyone danced crazily to it because it was a free song which held its first place title for 14 years. Tad paid a visit to Kelly and they shared a special dance. At last, they finished and headed back.

The video finished. "Bye Star," Janna yawned as she grabbed her stuff to leave. Three different portals had been opened up for the guests to go home by. Janna went into the first, after wishing her friends good nights. Kelly went next, doing the same. Finally, Ponyhead left, after she insisted on staying for the night. She had to go back to school; Star had to make her leave.

Star smiled to herself as the final portal closed. "There you are!" Marco yelled with annoyance in his voice. She remembered the advice her friends had given her and turned. "I was worried, you weren't home when I got back, three hours ago!" he softened, "Where did you go with those girls?" he asked, like a parent.

"Just a few places," she said, not anymore, this was the closest to being cold to Marco, she could get. "How was your date?" she asked, even though it was obvious it went pretty well.

"Amazing, Jackie said I was a really good runner; we came second! And her taste in movies is weird, horror and romance don't really go together but she enjoyed the movie, I thought it was alright too. We kissed again under a tree in the park; I gave her an unexpected one. She also stayed an hour with me when we got home."

Star waited for his apology for ignoring her in the morning. It didn't come. "Um, good for you, tiger!"

"Yeah," he smiled, extending his arms, their usual good night hug starter. "Good night!"

She looked at his arms and frowned. "Good night," she chirped and closed the door. Marco stared, confused. His arms drooped, as he wondered where his good night hug went.

Happy New Year! Happy Valentine's Day! Happy Saint Patrick's Day! I'm sorry I've been inactive and not updated my story. I know this chapter isn't really what some people would have liked to continue the story but I need time to get back into it… and after the finale; it will be hard.
