Marco POV

"Are you ready to be blown away?" I asked Star.

"I'm ready!" She replied excitedly.

I picked up a plate from inside the microwave and presented it to Star. "Here they are! My incredible nachos!"

Star looked at the odd food, and carefully picked up one chip. She eyed it for a few seconds before taking a nibble out of it.

Immediately her eyes lit up and he popped the rest of the chip in her mouth. "My goodness Marco! These are absolutely magical!" She said with wide eyes.

"Uh yeah I already knew that," I replied jokingly. I grab a handful of chips and shove them in my mouth. I was enjoying the flavor until I hear Star clear her throat.

"Ahem"

"Something wrong princess?" I ask through a full mouth

"Mouth closed please. And it's not polite to talk with your mouth full."

"You mean like this?" I ask as I lean close to her face and chomp louder.

"Marco! Sit down! I will magic blast you if necessary!" She yells in a playful and annoyed tone.

"Haha! Your easy to mess with." I lean back smugly in my chair.

Knock Knock Knock

Someone was knocking on our back door. I got up and opened the door, only to see that no one was there. I looked around for a minute. Still nobody.

"What the fu-" suddenly, a floating unicorn head jumped up to the door. It eyed me oddly for a few seconds before speaking. "Um yeah, is Star here?" It asked.

"What the- Star bring me the bat!"

Star POV

I sat at the table wondering who could be at the door when I heard Marco call out to me.

"Star bring me the bat!"

"That's quite a barbaric way to greet someone," I thought to myself.

I walked to the back door, and was surprised by who I saw.

"Pony Head! Oh how I've missed you! I thought you got sent to St. Olga's?" I asked as I rushed to her and pulled her into a hug.

"Oh you know, it's spring break," she replied smiling

"Oh I don't even care why you're here! We must catch up with each other!"

"Of course B-Fly! But who is this peasant?" Pony head turned her attention to Marco. He glared at her in response, and she returned the look.

"Pony Head he is not a peasant! He is my Earth friend, Marco!" I said in an offended tone.

"Hmmm... yeah don't care. Hey let's try these out!" She pulled out a pair of dimensional scissors from her mouth.

"Wow! Where should we go?" I asked excitedly.

"We could go to the library dimension, ice skating, the royal gardens-" she was about to list more, but I cut her off.

"How about we try all of them!"

"Great plan! Let's go!" She cut open a portal. I yanked Marco by his arm and pulled him through the portal with us.

After the portal closes, another opens. Three men in tan suits walk out of the new portal. They have brown masks covering their faces, and glowing red eyes that pierce through the darkness.

"Glitter," says one of them inspecting the ground. "She's near," another states as they open a new portal and disappear from Earth.

Marco POV

When we landed out the other side of the portal we were in a large library. "Wow these two are a bunch of wet blankets" I thought to myself.

"Star this is lame. We could go anywhere in the universe and you choose a library?"

Her and Pony Head both look back at me disgusted.

"Marco just look around. It's the largest library in the universe. You might find something you like," she said smiling.

"Ugh, fine." I say as I follow them down the aisles of books.

We walk around for a bit talking. I'm glad Star is having fun, but something about Pony really irks me on. I know she's Star's friend, but I feel like she's keeping something from us.

Pony finds a few books she likes and so does Star. Heck even I found one about fighting techniques that looked interesting. We're about to sit down when Star sees a librarian.

"Excuse me for a moment. I must ask her a question. Hold these please." Star drops her books into my arms and walks off toward the librarian.

Me and Pony drop the books on a nearby table and sit down. As soon as we're sitting Pony turns to me.

"Look Earth peasant! Star is my friend, and you're not going to replace me!" She snarled

"You're a real bitch you know that?" I spit back at her, just as angry as she is.

"If you try to do anything peasant, I'll give you the horn!" She threatened, pointing her horn at my neck.

I crack my knuckles. "Go on. Try it. This isn't my first tussle."

Before either of us could go on Star returned. "I'm back! Did you to enjoy each other's company?"

Me and Pony glare at each other before smiling and turning to Star. "Yep!" "Uh huh!"

"Great! I'm glad my two close friends can be friends to!"

Another portal opens across the library. The three men step out. "There she is!"

Across the room Pony looks up and begins to panic.

Star POV

I was enjoying my book about leadership for queens, when Pony spoke up.

"Marco is right, the library is lame. Let's go tho the Royal Gardens."

"Pony I'm really enjoying my book!" I protest.

She opens a portal anyway. "Let's go!"

"Oh... Alright," I say as me and Marco shuffle through the portal.

When we come out the other side, we are greeted by rows of beautiful flowers. Large hedges and tall trees also surrounded the area.

"Welcome to the Pony Head royal garden!" Pony said excitedly.

"Wow it's beautiful!" I say awestruck

I turn to Marco to see what he thinks. He wears an unimpressed look on his face. "Hmm maybe he's just not one for gardens," I think to myself.

We spend a while walking around the garden in silence, taking in the beauty. The silence is broken by Marco.

"I need to piss." He walked down a separate path, presumably to freshen up.

"Mmm not a very proper one is he Star?" Asked Pony

"He can be a bit barbaric, but deep down he's a good person," I reply with a smile.

The portal opens yet again, and like last time, Pony spots the men immediately.

"Well that concludes our tour of the garden! Let's go ice skating!" Pony opens up a portal to the ice rink.

"Wait what about Marco?" I ask

"He's using the bathroom, He wouldn't want us to disturb him. Go through and I'll leave the portal open for him so he can follow when he's done."

"I suppose that's fine," I say smiling.

We both enter the portal. A few seconds later, the portal closes behind us.

Marco POV

After I was done pissing, I walked back to the area where I'd left the two girls. They weren't anywhere in sight.

"Ah come on, did I just get ditched?"

"No. We're still here for you," says an unfamiliar voice.

I turn to see three men in tan suits, with glowing red eyes. Before I can respond, they grab me and tie me up to a nearby tree. "Tell us where the princesses are, NOW!"

Star POV

10 minutes later

"Hey Pony are you are Marco is coming?"

"Well..." she hesitates.

I stop skating. "What happened?" I ask sternly.

"I may have closed the portal so he couldn't follow us."

"WHAT! Pony we must go get him at once!"

"Ugh fine" she reopens the portal and we step through.

When we exit out the other side, I'm horrified by what I see. Three large men have Marco tied up to a tree. Marco looks like he's taken a few good hits.

"Tell us NOW!" One of the men shouts.

"I don't know, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell an ass hat like you!" Snarled Marco.

That earned him another punch to the gut. He coughed for a few seconds, before spitting at the man. "That all you got?"

The man is about to hit him again, but I yell out before he can. "Stop! Stop or else... I'll blast you!" I pull out my wand. The men approach me slowly.

"Pony get Marco!" Pony Head flies past the men and cuts Marco down with her horn. Marco stands up, ready to fight.

They all stood there for a moment. They stood completely motionless until one of the men lunged at Marco. Marco ducked under the mans punch, and flung back up with an uppercut to his jaw.

I blast one of them with a spell "Dagger Crystal Hearts!" Sharp heart shaped crystals pierce the man and he falls. to the ground.

Just as I was about to relax, Marco yelled to me. "Star duck!"

I fell to the ground and watched as Marco pulled out a book from the waistband of his pants. He hurled the book at the man, hitting him in the teeth. "Wha- Marco did you steal that book from the library?" I scolded.

"That's not important. Star can you zap up some bleach with your wand? We got to get rid of these and-" I cut him off "uh.. I don't think they're dead."

He sighed in relief "Oh thank goodness. I was NOT excited to bury a bunch of bodies."

An unfamiliar voice boomed from behind us. "It's a good thing you didn't kill them or else my daughter would've been in TWICE as much trouble!"

Marco POV

I turn around and see more of the tan suit men, and another flying horse head. "Oh great. There's more of you!"

"Silence boy! I am King Pony Head! I've come to retrieve my daughter and take her back to St Olgas Reform School for Wayward Princesses."

Star looks at Pony Head "I thought you said you were allowed to leave!"

"Did I say that? What I meant is I snuck away to go party."

"Come Pony Head were leaving." Said her father. The men who Marco assumed now to be St Olga guards, grabbed her. They carried her over to a portal and were about to leave when Pony tosssed her scissors over to Star. "I'll see you again soon girl! I promise!"

The portal shut and Star and I were left in silence. I watched as she walked over to the scissors and picked them up. "My own dimensional scissors. Marco, we could go anywhere in the universe!"

I looked at her and smiled. "That's great. I'm going to lie down for a bit." I fell on the ground exhausted from the battle.

"Oh, Marco let me help you!" Star picked me up off the ground. "Thanks, those guys fucked me up. Let's go home."

She opened a portal to our backyard, and we walked through. She helped me inside and to the couch. "Are you alright Marco?" She asked me with a concerned look.

"Yeah, just need to sit for a bit. I wouldn't mind some company though," I said smiling. "Let's turn in a movie"

Star smiled back and walked to the TV and turned it on. We watched movies until we were about to pass out. "We should do this more often," I say.

"Yeah totally," she responded.

And with that we fell asleep on the couch, tired from our adventure.
