Star made it to the village in the middle of the afternoon. As expected, it was the same as she remembered it when she was young. Then again, most of her childhood was spent fighting monsters and chilling with Pony Head. Still, whining children, small markets, brewing witches, and barn animals takes her back to when she wasn't sent to Earth.

Before she started to find Marco, she hid behind an alleyway between two villager houses. The last thing she wanted to do is get caught from her parents for using dimensional scissors to find a living, breathing Diaz. Even with the king and queen living and watching on top of the castle of Mewni, Star knew that avoiding a furious mama would be hard to manage around. So she took out her wand and quickly cast a spell to blend in with one of the villagers.

"That should keep me out of trouble," Star said to herself. "Now, let's get this over with."

She never left the alleyway, though. As much as she wanted to continue with the mission, she was halted by a rumbling. Her stomach was like avid beasts, circling around her prey and waiting to know who wanted to eat first. She didn't want Marco to die from whatever caused his death, but at the same time, she didn't want herself to die from hunger. She then thought about the corn fields. She could've taken two or three cobs of corn when she was there, but after hearing the farmer getting attacked and Marco getting beat up to save him, she thought it was best to leave it be. She was too far ahead of her journey to ask politely for corn, and she had no money on her to buy whatever food the villagers were offering.

So Star cast a spell that gave her a meal, a glass of water, and a napkin to clean her face. Sadly, no one had created a nacho spell and put it in her large spellbook (not only that, but she didn't even bring it with her), so she was left with doing the next best thing: casting a well done meal of ribs. A shame she wasn't able to make her favorite triangle food, because she was craving it the most when her stomach was growling like bloodthirsty warnicorns.

Marco was the only person that satisfied her munchies.

"You know, you never showed me how to cook nachos," Star said.

It was a warm Friday afternoon inside Marco's house. The two of them just came back from school, and Marco's karate lessons were canceled today due to Star's "incident" with the equipment. Marco grabbed the ingredients to his famous nacho recipe while Star was sitting in one of the seats in the dining table.

"You never asked about how to make them," Marco replied.

"I never thought about it until now," Star responded.

"Well, you still got your wand. You'll just cast a spell and have waffles for dinner, like what you usually do."

"Yeah, but it'll be nice to learn how to make my own food. Back when I was young, servants would always make food for me and and my family."

"That ain't gonna make me teach you even more."

"Aw, come on, Marco! Don't be a Ludo. Just teach me how to make nachos! It'll be beneficial for my normal person experience."

"Well, if it means that much to you, I guess I could teach you the ways of a Diaz classic."

Star jumped for joy and hugged Marco once more. Marco smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist. Once they stopped hugging, he began to teach her the simplicity of Nachos 101.

He started by opening two fresh bags of tortilla chips. He then told Star to watch carefully as he poured the right amount of chips into his plate. He specially told her not to use magic to do what he just did, and she obeyed his command. Soon, Star poured her amount of tortilla chips into her plate, but it was slightly bigger than his plate of chips, so some chips ended on the kitchen floor. Fortunately, Marco wasn't mad at her; he congratulated her on her first try and began to throw away the chips off the floor. She did ate the last chip before Marco was able to throw it away, and the taste was decent for a triangle food that wasn't covered in nacho cheese. The two of them laughed momentarily and went back to Nachos 101.

He then taught her how to make the cheese. This part was a tad bit hard for Star, but she was able to make the cheese right without using magic. When she was pouring the cheese into the tortilla chips, Marco advised her to wear oven mitts when dealing with the hot queso. The last thing he wanted was burnt fingers. Star avoided his safe kid comment and decided not to wear the gloves. Star was soon to regret her decision. Because of how hot the cheese was, Star moved as quickly as she can and poured the cheese all over the chips. It stung her hands pretty bad.

The two of them looked at Star's hands. The sting was hurtful for her, but there were no significant burns. The two of them then looked at each other once more. Marco was holding her hands, not like how he held them in the Blood Moon Ball, but like he was really concerned for her. And it was like she completely forgot she touched hot queso a minute ago. In short, they had the "seeing the universe inside of them" look to each other again.

They stopped looking at each other and realized the nachos had been ready. Marco and Star decided to submerge the two big piles of nachos and ate them together.

"Not bad for a beginner nacho maker, Star," Marco mentioned.

Due to how starving Star was, she was able to finish her ribs in 5-7 minutes. The bones was handed to a villager who questioned why she was here, and who was she. Luckily, the bones avoided the conversation to go any further. Which was kinda bad, though, because he could've known where Marco was. Needless to say, she dodged a bullet from being discovered as the princess of Mewni and her parents blowing up in anger.

She wiped the barbecue off her face. Although the sauce might represent as blood to make the villagers tremble in fear, keeping it on won't help get her close to finding the missing Diaz. When she was done cleaning up her face, she threw the napkin as far as she could to see if she could hit one of the villagers. Unfortunately, it wasn't even close to touching one. She then noticed her cup of water and picked it up; it was only half-empty because she wanted to finish the ribs first and go back to her mission. So she decided to take the glass with her in order to finish her quest on finding Marco while finishing her cup of water.

"I know you're alive, Marco," Star said to herself, as she began to walk out of the alleyway. "I just gotta find you before I think otherwise."
