The last two chapters are gonna be longer than usual. I found out that there's a lot more to write down, so I'm appropriately trying my best to organize both chapters. Also, I want to make the last chapter as perfect as possible. So you just have to wait.

Anyway, onto the story.

Marco was angry that his great dream was about to become perfect when reality ruined everything. He gets up and punches his alarm clock to the floor. Star was a little angry that reality ruined her almost-perfect fantasy. She also punches her alarm clock to the floor. Marco stayed in bed, thinking about the reality that ruined everything.

"Of course. It couldn't be true. Star likes those other guys. Even if Oskar is in a relationship, Star liked him in the first place because he was a bad boy and she loved his music. She likes those bad boys, and I'm just a regular guy." thought Marco. He thought that Star wouldn't like him because he was just normal compared to the other kids. Little did he know, that Star liked him back.

Star was still lying down on her bed, trying to think about the dream.

"It can't be true. It's too good to be. I mean, Marco and I are just friends. We just have each other's backs, and obviously, he prefers different girls over me." thought Star. She thought that Marco wouldn't like her because…well, they were just friends, and she thought that's how it will stay. Little did she know, that Marco liked her back.

While Marco stayed in bed, Star got up from bed, and went to Marco's room.

"Marco?" said Star, softly. Marco rose up slowly from bed.

"Yeah, Star?" asked Marco.

"What are you doing in bed? We have to get ready for school."

"Oh, yeah. Thanks for reminding me." said Marco, getting out of bed.

Both of them took a shower, got dressed, and packed their bags. Star was about to leave the door, until she saw Marco with a concerned look.

"Something wrong, Marco?" asked Star.

"Well, I was thinking…I just hope my classmates still won't make fun of me."

"If they do, then I'll just explain everything to them."

"Thanks." Marco and Star left the door and got onto the bus. Surprisingly, they were the first ones in the bus, besides the bus driver.

"Woah. We get to pick the perfect spot." said Star. She got onto a seat. "C'mon, Marco. I'm keeping this spot for you." Marco sits beside Star. Along the way, the bus picks up the students one by one. Eventually, as the bus was about to go to the last student's house, the students began to go to Marco. Star could sense that this wasn't going to be good. Even Lars, the school bully, was getting closer.

Actually, the students were just there to try and comfort him, but Lars begins to pick on him.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the dork who had a crush on skateboarding girl." said Lars.

"Leave him alone, Lars. He's had enough of the students picking on him." said Star.

"Well, what are you gonna do it about it, princess?" Lars grabs Star by the front of her dress. The students gasp at this. (Except for Brittney, who was whispering to herself: "Kill her. Kill her.") Marco gets up from his seat.

"Don't you dare hurt her, Lars!" yelled Marco.

"What's gonna stop me? Ooh, you're trying to protect your devil friend!" mocked Lars. "I'm gonna beat up anybody who tries to stop my bullying."

"If you harm even a single hair on Star's head, I will crush your bones!"

"Pfff…you're crazy. I would be afraid if that tentacle of yours was still here." said Lars, who was about to punch Star in the face.

"I may have no tentacle arm, but I still have my karate!" yelled Marco, kicking Lars back to his seat, and Star falling down on Marco's hands. Both Star and Marco blush because of the pose they were in. "It's okay, Star. You're safe. The bully is far from us." Star goes to the ground and stands up.

"Thanks for saving me." said Star, hugging Marco. Marco hugs her back.

The bus then arrives at the school. The students get off and enter inside. Before going inside, Star notices Oskar playing the keytar on top of a car.

"Hey, Marco. I'm gonna have a talk with Oskar."

"Why? You know he's already in a relationship."

"Well…I just need to tell him something…"

"Okay…anyway, I also need to find Jackie. I need to talk to her." Star and Marco leave each other to talk to their old crushes. Star arrives in front of Oskar first.

"Hey, Oskar." said Star. Oskar didn't say anything, as he was still playing "music" on his keytar. "I heard you and Jackie are in a relationship." Oskar stops playing the keytar, and just stares at her, still with his regular neutral expression, though he seemed surprised.

"How did you know?" he asked.

"My friend Jackie told Marco, who told me about it. I just came here to ask…how long have you been in a relationship?"

"Well…not too long. It's only been 3 weeks, but we were supposed to tell everybody eventually."

"I see. And how does it feel?"

"Not bad. It's given me some more time to do other stuff rather than just play with my favorite keytar. Why do you ask?"

"…I'm starting to have a thing for Marco." said Star. Oskar clearly looked interested.

"That red hoodie guy? You're starting to like him?"

"Yeah…and I want to tell him…but I don't know where."

"Maybe I can help you with advice." said Oskar. As he whispers his advice to Star, Marco notices Jackie putting something in her locker. He runs to her.

"Hey, Jackie." said Marco.

"Oh, hi Marco." said Jackie. "So how did it go with you and Star? Did you guys make up?"

"Yeah, we did. So, what does it feel like being in a relationship?"

"Nothing special, really. It's just being with somebody you like, in my opinion. Why do you ask?"

"…I'm growing a crush on Star. And…I want to tell her how much I love her, but I don't know where I should tell her."

"I can help you with that." said Jackie. She whispered her advice to Marco.

"You really think that's going to work?" said both Marco and Star. Jackie and Oskar nodded their heads.

"That's where I did it when I got together." said both Oskar and Jackie.

"Cool." said both Star and Marco. "Gotta go. Bye."

"Bye." said both Oskar and Jackie. Star and Marco ran towards each other and stopped when they saw each other face-to-face.

"Hey, Marco. How was your talk with Jackie?" asked Star.

"Fine. And yours?" said Marco.

"Good." said Star. The school bell rings, signaling them to come to class. "That's the bell. Guess we'd better go in." Both Star and Marco went to class to start their day.

Things were pretty unusual for a bit. Marco constantly looked at Star, noticing her perfect appearance. Whenever he wasn't looking, Star constantly looked at Marco, noticing how perfect he looked. Some of the classmates did notice Marco and Star doing it, and instead of teasing Marco about his old crush on Jackie, they figured their newly discovered feelings will be exposed eventually. It was pretty obvious to the class.

After a few classes, it was lunchtime, and while Marco was looking for a seat to eat at, he saw Ferguson, Alfonzo, and StarFan13 sitting at a table nearby. He walks to them, and the three notice him.

"Hey, Marco! So you three saved Star from that demon?" asked Alfonzo.

"Yeah…but, how are you here? Aren't you supposed to be at the pixie kingdom?" asked Marco.

"I made a deal with the pixies that I would have to leave each day for school, as my parents were starting to worry. So the pixie queen cut open a portal for me, and said that when it's time for me to go back, she'll cut open a portal to where I am."

"Okay. Sounds complicated, but okay." said Marco, not looking at Alfonzo, but looking at Star, looking for a table nearby. Ferguson, Alfonzo and StarFan13 notice this, and wonders what Marco is doing. Marco couldn't stop looking at Star. She was perfect for him.

"Um…Marco, what are you doing?" asked Ferguson. Marco came back to reality, and blushed red.

"Um…uh…nothing. I'm doing absolutely nothing. Heheh."

"Are you sure? You seemed to be sweating and turning red since this morning." said Alfonzo. Marco turned red even more. Janna, another classmate, comes to the table wanting to know why Marco's turning red.

"It's nothing, guys. And it's just hot in here. That's why I'm sweating and turning red." said Marco nervously. Ferguson, Alfonzo, Janna and StarFan13 didn't buy it. Ferguson tries to think why Marco is acting so nervous.

"You seem to turn red every time you look at Star…" said Ferguson, stopping in the middle, and chuckling when he gets the picture. "Oh, I see. YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON STAR!" he exclaimed. He, Alfonzo, StarFan13, and Janna look at Marco with smirks, and laugh out loud. Nobody else in the cafeteria heard him. Not even Star.

"Okay, fine. You caught me. I do have a crush on Star." said Marco. "Now can we please just eat lunch?"

"I don't know. You seem like you want to do something else." said Janna.

"I want to tell her how I feel, and Jackie already told me where I should do it." said Marco.

"Well, when do you want to tell her?" asked StarFan13.

"I want to tell her today…perhaps after school."

"Then go for it, Marco. We'll wish you luck." said Alfonzo. Ferguson, StarFan13 and Janna agreed.

"Thanks guys."

After lunch, a couple of classes went by, and then, school was done. It was 3:30 in the afternoon. As everybody was leaving, Marco ran to Star, wanting to tell her something. Little did he know, Star wanted to say something as well.

"Hello." said Star and Marco in unison.

"You go first." said Star.

"Can we have a talk…alone in the park? It's really important." asked Marco.

"How odd…I was gonna say the same thing." Both of them thought that they were gonna say their feelings to each other, but shrugged it off, as it seemed too good to be true. "But sure."

"Meet me at 5:30 in the evening. I'll be waiting for you." And so both Star and Marco separated, as Star was gonna hang out with some friends, while Marco was walking back home.

Alright, there's one more chapter to go. Read and review.
