The First

Night approached and everyone was getting ready for a good night sleep except for Star ad Marco. Hand in hand, they were sent off to their room for the night. They were told they would have the next week off until everything settled down. They stood in front of the door to their new bedroom, that they will be sharing from tonight on. They were both nervous about going in, knowing that it would change their lives.

They opened her door and looked in. It was the same as it was before except Marco's bed from home was in the room and so were most of his things. The beds were basically right next to each other, just a little tiny space in between to walk. His dresser was off to the side along the wall, a few of his pictures on top. The room was clean, which was a little surprise, but then again it wasn't Star that cleaned it. The room looked pretty cool, but it might take some time getting used to sleeping in it with Star.

Star looked at Marco and sighed, squeezing his hand. "Since they couldn't tell you properly, I guess I have to. Sharing a room with the princess has been a tradition in the Butterfly family for a long time. It's to put the new couple out of their comfort zones, and it is a great way for them to bond. Now I know it's weird, but there is one other thing you should also know. This is also the point where you can't go back, once the night is over, you'll be the prince of Mewni." she explained to him. He smiled at her.

"I know." he said as he picked her up and carried her into the room. She grew as red as a lobster and brushed some of her hair out of her face. She looked him in the eyes and smiled.

"You can put me down now, I still got to get ready for bed and no peeking." she giggles. He puts her down and blushes, she walks behind her dressing screen and begins undressing. Marco turns around and stares at the wall. It' was probably a good opportunity for him to get ready for bed as well, he walked over to his dresser and pulled out his pajamas. He didn't look in the direction of the dressing screen, as much as it was tempting and went to the bathroom by the dressers.

"Marco?!" Star whispered out, peeping her head out from behind the screen. 'I forgot something in my dresser, I really hope he doesn't come out. I could ask him to get it for me, but that would be even more embarrassing.' she thought to herself. She looked at the bathroom door and sprinted for her drawer. "Marco, whatever you do do not come out right now!" she yelled at him from the other side of the door.

"Gotcha!" he yelled back. He could hear her rummaging through her dresser, then take off back to the other side of the room.

"You're good!" she yelled.

He walked out with a blush on his face and she was already dressed in her pajamas. She looked at him shyly and he smiled. "Come here." he asked her, motioning her over with his hands. She was hesitant but went over to him. He gave her a passionate hug and she melted into his arms. She left his embrace and looked into his deep brown eyes. He looked down at her, getting lost in her light blue eyes. She leaned in closer.

"Yo, Diaz, I heard you're courting-" Ruberiot stopped short, noticing what he was walking in on. Star gave him the stare that could kill a person. Ruberiot put his hands up and slowly backed out of the room, closing the door. She looked back at Marco with a smile on her face. He laughed and was also stop short, Star pressing her lips into his, surprising him. He grabbed her back and brought her in, he leg popping up.

She gave him a smirk, his eyes still closed from the kiss. "Well, that was new." he said with a smile, opening his eyes.

"What was?" she smirked. She was enjoying his reaction.

"You know what it was." he said shyly.

"I know, too bad it wasn't your first,-" she said looking at Marco, facing down, "too bad it isn't mine either." she grinned. His reaction telling her that it did sadden him that he hadn't realized his feelings. It was almost too little too late, but it made her happy that he actually wanted to be with her. She started tearing up at the thought, she had to be one of the luckiest people in all of Mewni and Earth combined and it was a bit overwhelming.

"Star, are you okay?" he asked with worry in his eyes, squeezing her.

"Yeah, these are tears of joy. I've just been thinking about the last few day and how you've been here for me and me only. It makes me super happy." she smiles.

He looks down at her and kisses the top of her head. "I'm glad I came and I'm sorry for taking so long. I'm glad you still wanted me, that would have been awkward." he said with a heart-warming smile.

"I agree." she giggled. "Now I think it's about time to lay down for the night." she said poking his chest. She twirled and walked over to her bed and jumped onto it. He followed suit and got into his bed and underneath the covers. "Lights!" she yelled and the lights dimmed to nothing.

They both laid in their beds, unable to sleep. "Hey, star? You still up?" he whispered.

"Yeah. Whatcha need Marco?" she said, turning on her side to look at him.

"I'm not jealous or anything, but did you ever have to share a room like this with Tom when you two were together?" he asked. She started laughing.

"Whatever you say Marco, but no, he was a fling I guess you could say. For Mewmans, there is a big difference between courtship and flings. A fling is like dating, it isn't taken to seriously. Tom was a phase for me, you know me, born to be a rebel." she explained. "Does that ease that jealous mind of yours." she giggled.

"Yes, yes it does and I'm not jealous, just curious." he stuck out his tongue at her. She returned the gesture and they both started laughing. "Star I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight." he whispered to her, turning onto his back and closing his eyes.

"Goodnight." she whispered back, closing her eyes.

Marco

With a good night rest and feeling comfortable, Marco opened his eyes. He looked over at Star's bed, she wasn't in it. "Wha-" he was interrupted by someone's leg draping over his. He looked to the other side of him, there in her pajamas was Star, laying on his arm as she slept. He panicked, but Star started to stir so he calmed down. 'Star is in my bed, wait, is she?' he questioned himself. He looked at the sheets, they were his. 'Okay, she is in my bed, sleeping on my arm. Must've have gotten up last night and crawled into my bed, What do I do!' he asked himself, trying to analyze the situation he was in. He looked down at the girl on his arm, it was quite a sight to see. He laid his back down on the pillow and relaxed. 'This is fine.' he thought to himself, with a smile.

Star

She reached for her wand like usually did when she woke up, with her eyes still closed. No wand, but she was super comfortable. Moving her hand a little she realized that she was where she shouldn't be. She peeked through one of her eyes, she was laying on Marco's arm and she was in his bed, no wonder she couldn't find her wand. He was really warm and he had a slight smile on his face, looking up at the ceiling. 'Is he not trying to wake me up. He's so sweet.' she thought to herself. She decided that she would lay there for a few minutes, not minding sleeping next to him.

Back

Star's heart began to race at the thought of have been here most of the night. Marco felt it and smiled. "Good morning, did you sleep well?" he asks, looking down at her.

She looked up at him and smiled. "I think I did. You look pretty comfortable, I'm guessing you slept pretty good as well." she teased.

He chuckled. "Well I think if I had you on my arm when we went to bed, I think I would've slept a lot better." he teased her back. She blushed and sat up and pushed him on the side, nearly knocking him off the bed.

"You know what, get up." she hastened him. He got up unwillingly and stood near her bed. SHe walked over to her bed and picked up her wand and smiled. She pointed it at his bed and zapped it. when the smoke cleared, his bed was gone.

"Hey, that was my bed!" he whined, looking at her.

She looked at him with the smile still on her face. "That was a temporary anyways, now that's your bed." she said as she pointed to her bed.

He looked at her with a confused look. "If that is what you want, then I have no problems with it. Now what is that you want to do today since we have like the next week off?" he asks her, fixing his bed head.

She giggles. "Well before we make any plans, I think we both should get dressed first." she said, looking at him.

He looks down at what he is wearing and laughs. "I do believe you are correct. Now are we going to have a repeat of last night?" he asks. She blushes and shakes her head no. He smiles at her as she goes over to her dressing screen with clothes and he goes into their bathroom with his.

They meet at the bedroom door, both dressed in their usual outfits. Having a free day seemed weird since he just started. Then again when he did come visit Star when she would have to return home for shot bits, she was usually not doing anything, well anything that had to do with being the princess. Maybe they didn't have much that they needed to do even if they were the prince and princess. Just show up here and there and on special occasions probably.

"Now let me ask you again, what would you like to do today?" he asked, with a slight bow, holding out his hand.

"I don't know, it has to be fun though." she said with excitement. She has done more work than she has ever had to do within the last few days, she was happy to have a free week. Now she gets to spend it with Marco too. Marco pulls out his phone and looks at it and smiles.

"Well I have a few idea, but its a surprise." he said with a smirk.

"Okay." she sang, grabbing his hand. He turned them around and pulled out his dimensional scissors and opened a portal. He went behind Star and covered her eyes. "Ooo a surprise, I love surprises!" she yelled as Marco helped her walk through the portal.

"Now open." he said as she opened her eyes. They were in front of one of the most popular restaurants in the Gelorian Dimension. Gelorian was known for its food and exquisite restaurants. They were standing in front Kafe Poncho, the stars had come out, but outside was still bright sunny day. It was hard to eat there because it was so popular and it was always full. There was never a line because of some sort of rule they had.

"No way. Tell me you didn't" she said, her eyes sparkling.

"Well, I didn't. However, I know the owner, well I guess you somewhat do too." he laughed, motioning for her to follow him.

"I do?" she asks, confused.

"You'll see." he said, opening the door. They walked over to to the host, who smiled once he saw Marco. The host was a humanoid, he was an anthropomorphic fox, as were many of the people that were in the restaurant. He had light grey fur with a few white highlights here and there. He was dressed in a cut off tuxedo that complimented his fur. Star had seen people like this before, but never knew what dimension they were from

"Ah, Marco welcome back. And who is this lovely young lady with you tonight? Is it a date night? And I thought you for a loner." the host asks, chuckling.

"Oh, ha-ha very funny James. Trying your hand at jokes now are we and yes it is a date. Is the boss in? Want to talk with him and introduce him to someone." Marco asks his friend.

"Of course, you know he is always back working those cooks. Can't have anyone thinking we don't have the best quality of food. Feel free to go back." he chuckled.

Marco shook Jame's hand and grabbed Star's hand and lead her to the back where the boss was. Star was confused beyond even understanding what just happened. How did Marco know the people here and she was actually going to eat here.

"Marco how do you know people here?" she asked him, still being lead to the back.

"What, you think I get dimensional scissors and I don't use them a lot?" he chuckled. "This is one of the first places I visited when I got them, I was told that most of the places around here served delicious food, so I checked some of them out. That is when I ran into an old friend, well not him, but someone related." Marco told her, walking past the backroom doors. The room they walked into was the kitchen, but off to the side was a small office.

Marco knocked on the office door. Out came a goblin, one that looked exactly the one they met during their Goblin Dog adventure. "Hey, I know you!" Star yelled excitedly.

"Star, that isn't the same one, this is his brother, Jyrig. The one we met for the Goblin Dogs was Hacen." Marco explained to her.

"Oh. It's nice to meet you. I've heard a lot of great things about your place." she told him.

"Thank you. We Goblin's, that's a family name, by the way, we come from a long line of excellent cooks. Always working on making our craft better." Jyrig said with a smile.

"Then what was with the whole puzzle thing that your brother did with the Goblin Dogs?" she asked him.

"Well for the last few years it has become a tradition of sorts and plus it's a publicity stunt. You might not know this, but there is one for this place as well. You have to be invited by one of the few people that I let into the place in the beginning. Lucky for Marco, he was invited by my brother, Hacen. To warn you, you can only invite one person. Most of the people that come and eat here are loners which means I still have my publicity." he explained, using his hands.

"Okay." she smiled. "Wait, does that mean I was the one you wanted to bring here Marco?" she asked, squeezing his hand.

"Well of course it is, who else would I bring?" he smiled, looking at her. She just looked at him. "I would never have brought her here, I was going to bring you here anyway, I know you'd love it more." he smiled, getting nervous about the topic they were on. She gave him a hug.

"So what can I do for you, my friend?" Jyrig asked Marco.

"Can I use your special table, if it's open that is?" he asked, holding out the money for the table and food.

"The usual?" he smiles, taking the money.

"Yes, and what do you want to get Star?" he asked her, turning his head in her direction.

"Surprise me and something sweet." she answered.

"Coming right up!" he yelled as he went over to the cooks, rushing them to get their food started.

"Follow me." he said as he leads her away again. They went to the far back right corner of the kitchen, where there was a single red door. Past the door was a flight of stairs that went up. They went up and came to the roof of the building. The scenery on the roof was amazing, rows of a variety of flowers lined a path to a little table set up on one side. Star got excited again, she may be a sort ruffian, but she loved flowers and cute things. Birds were chirping from one of the bushes, and the air smelled like lilacs.

"Wow, this place looks amazing. I'm guessing you come to this spot a lot?" she teased.

"I try, but this is a very popular place even among the loners. Most of the time when I come here it is taken, so I'm lucky that I got to share it with you today." he squeezed her hand and smiled. She placed her hand on her chest, her heart fluttering.

"Aww." she whimpered. "Well aren't you a smooth talker?" she giggled.

"Well I've thought about a lot of things and I've decided that I want to go after the things I want. I don't want "if" to rule over me anymore. I have choices and I am going to make them." he explained. Marco was standing straight, confidence radiating from him. Star bit her lip.

"Well, that's a side that I haven't quite seen from you before and I like it." she said with a smirk. Marco curled up a little and blushed and she giggled.

They sat at their table and chatted for a little until their food came. Marco had a fancy looking burger with a side of hand cut fries, while Star had a plate full of spaghetti with grated parmesan on top. Both looking delicious.

"I know I got spaghetti, but I want some of your fries, they look awesome." she teased as she reached over and grabbed a few of them.

"Fine-fine, take as many as you want." he said as he watched her stuff her face full of fries. He chuckled.

"Wash sho fonny?" she asked, fried sticking out of her mouth.

"Nothing." he smiled as he stuffed his mouth with the rest of the fries. With their appetites, it didn't take them long to finish their meals. She burped and excused herself and he chuckled.

"Is this all that you had planned for today?" she smiled, getting herself excited again. She was rocking the seat she was sitting in.

"What do you think?" he teased.

"Yay! Where we going now?" she asked, still rocking. A bright smile on her face.

"Well for today I wanted to go to a few places and talk. We have known each other for quite some time now and I would love to get to know you more than I already do. If that is okay with you?" he asks shyly.

"Sounds great." she smiled, finishing her drink. He stacked the plates and cups into the middle of the table. They stood up and he grabbed her hand and opened another portal to their next stop.
