Chapter 6

Star woke up the next morning, feeling quite rested. She knew she and her best friend had a lot to talk about and sort out. And today was a good day for that as it was Friendship Thursday.

She sluggishly walked to the kitchen to greet Marco's usually joyful parents. "Good morning," she said, her voice not conveying any bad thing but just being neutral.

"Good morning, Star," greeted Angie back. She was washing the dishes; "You're up late for Friendship Thursday, aren't you?" she smiled brightly. It seemed as if she was still unaware of the un-funny craze that went on last night.

"Yeah, I just had a night of contemplation," she summarised. "Where's Marco?" she asked shyly. She needed to apologise to him, as she had gone overboard with her love. When she thought about it thoroughly, she really did love Marco, but she was being a bit selfish and jealous, which wasn't right.

"I honestly have no idea," Angie sighed, "I woke up this morning and he wasn't even home." She explained further. She turned to the teenage girl fully, "You've been a huge influence on him Star. Thank you for being patient with him and being his best friend."

Star smiled at her, "No problem." In all honesty, she was losing her patience with him very quickly. He and Jackie hadn't even been a thing for a month so she wasn't used to it. She had hope that Marco would not forget her, and that was kept alive by her love.

She thought about what her mother had told her.

"Our spells are actually powerless, Star," Moon whispered, "Nothing put words but together. But the passion behind them, the raw emotion put into them, gives them their magic."

Star blinked in confusion, what did that have to do with anything?

"Chants are an evolution to that, especially the terribly filled ones. Chants filled with hate, greed; jealousy and sadness usually leave casters in a bad position." Moon continued.

"Yeah, but, I don't see what that has to do with my actions," Star butted in.

"I can tell you love Marco, and it hurts to know he loves someone else. That someone else also shows love to him, and they are that. You may get jealous, sad, and desperate, it is expected from a teenage girl searching for love," Moon said, thinking back to a memory of hers. "But you can't go extreme with it. It results in bad consequences." Star definitely did not want to know them.

"Marco?" his dad's voice echoed in the kitchen, "He went out with Jackie early this morning to do something." Both females' eyes narrowed. What was wrong with him?

"What?" Angie whispered, she stared straight at Star. The poor blonde princess had a blank look on her face as she turned to go upstairs. She wasn't feeling jealous or desperate anymore, she didn't even know if she still loved him (but she probably did).

"I've had enough of this," she told herself lowly. Marco was not treating her like a best friend at all, more like a mere acquaintance. She'd worked hard to gain his acceptance under the house, it wasn't just a swift finger snap and they were besties. Jackie was not to blame, he should have found a way to keep them separate, which they already had; The Friendship Thursday. Star meticulously planned herself so that nothing would fall on the Thursday so they could talk and hang, all her friends knew not to invite her on Thursdays to anything. They knew how much it meant to her. Even Jackie knew that if she wanted to have a date, it wouldn't be Thursday. She surely must have been surprised that Marco even showed up at hers.

Star's phone beeped.

Jackie: Is Friendship Thurs off? Coz Marco said it was.

Star decided to be logical; he could have wanted to calm down a bit, that's why. It was smart, she thought, to talk with his girlfriend about what had happened. But she couldn't help but feel that she was kidding herself. She at least knew Jackie was a good friend.

Star: Did he say 4ever?

Jackie: …did something happen?

Star: Did he?

Jackie: Yeah

What the actual what! Star screamed loudly. "I'm so done!" she sped off to her room, with tears flowing down her face. Angie and Rafael ran after her. They arrived at her room where she held the dimensional scissors.

"Star…" Rafael started but drifted off. She looked fierce as she stood boldly. She was truly finished with all of this. "Please don't leave." She didn't answer him.

Thirty minutes later, Marco was walking into his awesome home. Jackie told him to go back home, even though he wanted to explain everything about Star to her. Another time, she said. Star was his best friend whom he was mad at. He didn't know how to react when she said she loved him, nor did he know she'd get very jealous. He usually forgot she was Mewman.

He thought he should just see her a bit, to see if she had cooled down from her crazy. He opened the door to his parents hugging her on the floor. Her eyes were reddened and tilted downward while his parent's faces were not in view. "Star, what's wrong?" he immediately called out to her, he rushed and grabbed her free hand.

From the touch, her hand turned a deep blue and the Diazes separated from her. Her heart cheeks were the same blue hue as she looked up at him. She didn't mutter a word to him. "Star, what's going on?" he asked again. Her eye twitched as her hair wrapped itself into beehives.

"Marco, move," Angie ordered as she watched what was happening. The boy stared at her. Two extra arms had appeared under her normal pair and her wings had grown huge. This was a weird Butterfly form to take. "Talk to me, Star," he said.

Star choked back a sob; their beautiful friendship was now as thin as a single line of a spider web. Her top arms touched her cheeks, where the trail of dried tears were and picked them off, wet like fresh new ones. She held out the under arms towards the boy. He reached forward and grabbed them.

In a bright flash, they were engulfed by a white light and then they appear in an elegantly designed room. Marco recognised it as Star's bedroom on Mewni. "This is where my mind is at," she told him quietly.

"That's normal, to be homesick, sometimes," Marco replied, "But don't you go leaving Earth for there." he joked. She stared at him in wonder.

"What would it be like, if I wasn't on Earth anyway," she asked him. "I mean, you don't seem to notice me much now you're with Jackie."

"Not this again, accept that we are a thing!"

"It's not about that!" she yelled, "I'm talking about our friendship. You've only been treating me like garbage since you've been going out! I can't call you my best friend if you don't try Marco!"

"I am trying!"

"CLEARLY NOT HARD ENOUGH!" she continued. "I mean, you blew off Friendship Thursday because of the misunderstanding yesterday, which was uncalled for and extreme. And even more intense, you've stopped it forever! How are we meant to move on with our friendship, huh?"

"We always find a way, I've just been a bit busy with Jackie," Marco commented.

"You've hurt me enough, as your best friend. So why did you go to her this morning?" Star asked, suddenly getting impatient. She had just hinted at what she wanted to do. She had even prepared.

"I needed to talk with her, she could help me."

"Is Jackie supposed to fill the gloves of girlfriend AND best friend?!" she yelled.

"There you go again, being jealous!" Marco countered.

"Why are you so full of yourself? I'm not even sure if I want to be your best friend anymore, you don't deserve a best friend!"

"Neither do you! You just can't be happy for me!"

"I'm sorry for Jackie, how does she put up with you?!"

"You should feel sorry for me! How did I ever put up with you?!" he yelled so vividly that it echoed throughout the room. The pair froze.

"Good bye Marco," Star whispered as she took her hands away from him.

He opened his eyes and looked around the bare room. His parents were visibly scared, "Where's Star?" they chorused together. He turned around with a dark look in his eyes, "On Mewni." Later on, he would realise his mistake.

"I'm back," Star announced as she approached her mum and dad. They were shocked. The servants dropped whatever they were holding and hurried to take care of her.

"That's unexpected, but welcome home," River greeted awkwardly. "So what is this visit for?"

"It's not a visit," Star said dryly as she gestured to her packed trunk. Moon and River both blinked in surprise and then shared a look.

"Did your boyfriend break up with you?" River asked, without a clue of what had happened. "Because if he did, I'll give him a broken face."

"If he was, I would've given him the broken face," Star smiled at her dad. "Anyway, I'm ready to resume princess training and whatever," her voice dripping an unhappy tone.

If one part of her life was destroyed, she couldn't let the other part have the same fate. And it was about time she got serious with being the future Queen of Mewni.

I hope you guys liked this fiction, and thanks for reading. To aid me, you could give me pointers in the reviews, that would be appreciated.

Also, I felt like Star's magic would be the 'go with the flow' kind of thing so she'd just do whatever felt right in the situation. I will improving on keeping everyone in character, but this sort of thing could happen in real life (so don't forget your best friend, even if you are dating.)

Please read my other stories, and can someone tell me how I can watch Battle for Mewni?
