Star and Marco

Star continued to eat while the others tried to figure how to restore their memories.

"Moon, you don't remember any spells for memories?" River looked over at an upset Moon to see if she heard what he said. Mirroring her daughter, Moon was slouched in her chair and still worrying about Eclipsa's inevitable freedom. "Moon?"

"Sorry. No, I hadn't reached that chapter yet. If Glossaryck were here, he would know it. Who am I kidding, he would've said we'd figure it out." Moon went back to sulking. Star rolled her eyes and mumbled something about being overdramatic.

"Well, with all of us together, we're only making it harder for you two to regain your memories. Why don't we split up? Star with me and River with Queen Moon." Marco looked at Star who was slouching in her seat and staring at the ceiling.

"That's a great idea, Marco. You know Star best, and I know Moon best. All we have to do show them what they like to do and it should all come back to them." River jumped up and grabbed Moon's hand. "Come, I'll take you to where you like to relax."

"Well, Star, what do you say? If I get Princess Ponyhead, you'll remember who you are in no time!" Marco tried to grab Star's hand, but she pulled it away.

"Listen here little boy, I don't know who you think you are or who I am, but you are NOT touching me!" Star kept to herself and looked angrily at Marco.

"Okay…well, I'm sorry. I'm only trying to help you. Just so you know, you're acting extremely out of character. You love rainbows and explosions, not yelling and biting people's heads off." Marco crossed his arms and turned from Star. Suddenly, Marco remembered the Plains of Time. Disregarding Star's warning, Marco grabbed Star and dragged her through the newly formed portal. They emerged near the structure Marco wanted to take Star to.

"Look-." Star stopped abruptly and looked around in awe. This place was weirder than the castle she just magically left. "Where are we?"

"We're in the Plains of Time. Follow me." Marco led Star to the room filled with screens showing all of history. A giant eyeball darted out and in front of Star. Marco became excited as she stared back at the all-seeing eye. Yes! Now she'll be back to normal. Unfortunately for the both of them, the screens revealed static. Nothing from Star's past appeared. She blinked in confusion and tried to figure out what just happened.

"What are we here for again?" Star turned to see Marco face down on the floor. He repeatedly beat his fist on the ground in defeat. Star went over to him and sat down next to him. Marco picked his head up and started laughing hysterically. Star grimaced and looked around for whatever he suddenly found funny.

"Of course, maybe if I use my memories!" Marco stood up and looked around for the eye. "Star, pick a screen and stare at it. And don't judge me for some stuff, okay!" I may not have always been with her, but she'll at least get a feel of what she was like. The giant eyeball darted out and stared into Marco's eyes. From a distance, Star stared in amazement as she watched Marco's memories flash by.

"Whoa! Hey, there's me," she said as she watched how she acted around Marco. The two had some crazy moments, that much she could tell. She saw them fight a lizard lawyer, then she saw them at a picnic with her family picnic, then she saw the sleepover. A little bit later, she saw the concert, then her Song Day song, and then the confession. Then she saw when Marco reunited with her, then right before there was an explosion, and then she disappeared. His memories ended with River and him finding Moon and Star unconscious in her room.

"What do you think, Star?" Marco walked over to her and laid a hand on her shoulder. She thought back to how she had acted with Marco in his memories. Man, I think I had a crush on him. Now how do I act? Do I smile, do I give him a hug, or do I just sit here because he has a girlfriend?

"Sorry, I still don't remember anything. It…just made things more confusing for me." Marco sighed, but Star wasn't finished. "What was your name again?"

"My name's Marco Diaz, a seriously misunderstood bad boy with an 'A' in Psychology. I'm your best friend and we fight monsters and a whole bunch of other random stuff." Marco helped Star up. "I know you don't remember, but…can you at least tell that we're friends?"

"I told you I had a crush on you. That tells me that I saw you as more than just a friend." Star blushed and looked at Marco. Marco rubbed the back of his head and chuckled nervously.

"That's what you told me before you left to fight Toffee with your mom. You don't bring it up though, because I'm still with Jackie." Marco tried to be considerate of Star's feelings as he spoke to her. Star nodded and looked around awkwardly.

"So…what now?"

"Well, we can go get your best friend on Mewni. She was that floating unicorn head that tried to kill me after we met." Marco laughed as he remembered almost dying.

"Okay!" Star followed Marco through the portal and ended up back in the castle. She scratched her head as she walked around and studied the portal. She jumped back and grabbed Marco when it suddenly vanished. He laughed and walked them over to Star's room.

"First, we have to call Ponyhead over. Then we'll try to bring out your memories." Marco went over to a curtained object and revealed a mirror on the wall. "Call Ponyhead."

"Calling Ponyhead."

Marco brought Star over to the mirror so she could be part of the conversation. The screen flashed and then revealed a floating unicorn head surrounded by pinkish clouds.

"Yo, Marco, B-fly. How're y'all doing?" Star looked at the blue floating horse head and stood behind Marco.

"Ponyhead, we have a bit of a problem. Star and her mother have lost their memories and I need your help." Marco looked back at Star and smiled.

"Anything for my bestie! I'll be over there as soon as I can. First, I have to clean my room." The screen flashed and then went back to being a regular mirror.

"See Star, you'll remember in no time."

"How does she eat?"

"I don't know actually know. It grosses me out when I think about it too much." Marco sat on Star's bed and motioned for her to sit down. "I wonder why your mother has some of her memories, while you have none."

"I don't know. I wish I could remember. Your memories made the both of us look like we lived pretty awesome lives. But…there's nothing. No spells, no death defying moments, nothing." Star sighed and laid back, pulling a pillow over her face and screaming into it out of frustration.

"Hey now, everything will eventually go back to normal. We just have to figure out how to bring back your memories. Maybe the spell will wear off." Star removed the pillow and sighed. Marco looked down at her and the two smiled at each other. Marco yawned deeply, suddenly realizing how tired he was. "Let's take a nap while we wait for Ponyhead, okay?"

"Okay, see you soon." Star yawned and laid underneath the covers. Marco closed the door behind him and welcomed the gentle pull of sleep.
