Update 26 JAN 20- Gave more of a set up for Kelly and Marco!

The next day

"You seem tired… long night?" Star watched Marco yawning while stretching his arms above his head, she liked his new look. His hair was gelled back while still wearing the same pants and shoes, but now with his sword on the hip, placed on top was a metal chest plate with his hoodie replaced with a black shirt. His arms were able to show off a little more and he pulled off the look great.

"Me and Kelly spent most the night just talking… it was nice, you have anything for me today?" He asked, taking away their plates from breakfast.

"Ummmm she did? I was thinking we could do something today?" Now, why was that?

"Star… you and Tom are visiting some old places in the Underworld later, did you forget?" She did, but if he made this big of a change hanging out with Kelly in a few hours. Then what will happen if he spends more time with her?

Was she right? About Star keeping Marco around in case things didn't work out with Tom? "Oh yeah… I forgot about that…"

"That's why I'm here for you, Star." She didn't like how that sounded.

"MARCO… are we still best besties?" The Princess didn't mean to yell, but she had to get to the bottom of this.

He put on a hurt face, but covered it up in a flash, "Why would you ask something like that? I wouldn't want to be anywhere, but right next to you..." The latino walked off in a rush hating how saying that out loud hurt even more than he thought it would.

Times were better when it was just him and Star, Tom made things harder and the demon always had to show off that Star picked him. It didn't help any when she would back the Prince up on it also.

Marco hated how Tom forgot his own girlfriend's birthday, but hated even more how Star really didn't want a birthday party and agreed with her boyfriend about him asking before doing things like that again.

The squire was at best, her personal assistant, but not a best bestie…

…

Kelly was rolling out of bed a little bit before noon, she woke up with a large smile on her face and couldn't understand why. All she did was spend the night talking with a guy she liked…

That's when her phone went off, "Ummmm hello?"

"Hey, Kelly… it's Marco, you doing anything right now?" She pulled the phone back not believing he was calling her already.

"Just finished eating some lunch!" She smacked herself in the forehead after saying that, seeing how she was starving.

"Oh… I wanted to come over with some pizza, maybe we could have a little match today?" Kelly started to jump up and down.

"I WOULD LOVE TOO!?" That came out way too happy, on the other end, she could hear him giggle about it.

"Okay then, I'll open a portal in twenty and see you then." He could be heard laughing and the phone call ends.

The young woman looked around her small home seeing it was a wreck, "I knew I should have cleaned this place up…" It was a mad dash for her to straighten out the house and shower.

…

There was a knock at the front door as Kelly kicked some junk into the closet, "Coming!" She might be doing that later on also…

She opened the door seeing Marco's new look with two boxes of pizza and soda, "Sorry for the long wait, where you want these?"

Kelly gulped and then pointed to the coffee table in the living room, "Dig the new look…" She said looking at his butt as he walked in.

"Just wanted to do something different… get myself out this funk, ya know? I'll go get some dishes." Before he went off, Kelly stopped him.

"You're not with Star, I can do it. This is my house." She shoved him onto the couch and he doesn't fight it.

"Sorry about that, just used to it I guess." He looked around her house.

…

"Starship, you okay over there? You haven't said much all day…" Tom looked at his girlfriend with concern.

"Huh? What was that?" She looked up to him in shock, Marco had been the only thing running around in her mind and what Kelly said.

"I knew something was up, you want to cut the trip short or something?" Seemed like the whole day, she was on a different planet.

"Sorry about that, I guess I didn't get much rest last night?" She puts on a fake smile.

"Anything I can help with?" Help? Tom was the whole problem… that and she was really having second thoughts on the way she was treating Marco.

"Not really… just something I have to work out on my own… can you send me home?" It was after six in the afternoon and the whole trip was a drag on her.

Star couldn't get her head in the game with everything that was going on around her, mostly Tom showing off to everyone that she was his girlfriend and some unknown landmarks in the Underworld.

"You know I'm always here for you, right Star?" He came in for a kiss, but she turned away.

"I know… I just need to figure out what I want… I'll call you later, okay?" Tom's face was a mask of rage, but he let it go.

"Sure… see you later..." With a snap of his finger, she's gone in flames.

…

"30 years old? I can see it now in your movements." Kelly was huffing and puffing, not able to get the upper hand on Marco. He outclassed her in every way with the sparring matches they had. She wouldn't let up without one win at the very least.

They watched a movie on her couch that was an action flick, at some point, she curled up to him. Things moved rather fast with them making out and Marco's hands being guided up to her chest. The teens lost complete track of the movie, it ended with Kelly cumming.

It was a complete shock to them, to cool herself off. They immediately went into a sparing match that had been going on for hours. Each of them had a few cuts and bruises, but Marco definitely showed he knew a lot more than she did.

"Yup… crazy huh?" He offered a hand to her and pulled Kelly off the ground.

She gave him a dirty smile, "Is that where your so good with your hands?" Marco blushed, but regained his composure.

"If you think my hands are pretty good, you should see what my tongue can do!" He walked away with her mouth hung wide open in had felt like ages for him, the sweat pouring off his body, going up against someone that wouldn't quit. He really admires the way she carried herself, that and Kelly was only wearing spandex and a sports bra really helped.

"So that's why you and Hekapoo are so close?" She asked hinting that there might be more going on between them.

The whole day she kept asking him questions and it made him feel better. There was something she was driving at, but he couldn't figure it out yet. Kelly opened up to him, but more about her combat training.

He smiled and grabbing some pizza, "Sorry, but gentlemen never kiss and tell..." Marco thought that was going to be a smart answer.

Now, this is what she wanted to know more about, Kelly knew Jackie was in the picture for a little bit, but that never went anywhere because… well, Star.

But the dimensional scissor forger was a whole new can of worms. What if Hekapoo found out they were hanging out more and she comes in and takes Marco?

"Kiss huh… pretty sure you did more than just that in sixteen years… seeing what we got into after an hour of you here!" He jumped at her comment, but played it smooth, offering Kelly some pizza.

So there was something going on with them… that made things more complicated.

He looked up at her and spoke in his mature voice, "Maybe, get to know me long enough… who knows if you'll find out the truth?" Her mouth was wide open on how cool he just sounded.

Look at Marco pulling along this girl, Hekapoo might not have been the only female he was with during those years.

"Ummm… yeah…" Kelly takes the pizza and looks away blushing.

Marco laughed a little and feels his phone go off as he pulled it out, his smile fades away after seeing the name on the screen.

Reaper- Now who could be calling Marco at a time like this? Guess you'll just have to stick around and see what happens next!
