Of course Marco couldn't be satiated with just one. He was a masculine mass of manly muscle, forged by relentlessly pushing his body past its limits every day for 16 years. He wasn't a one hitter quitter. Hell, in many cases, he doesn't quit even after one day. And that's being generous.
That's why even after going to Star's room, Marco decided not to use the more relaxed and private environment for more sleep. No, instead he decided to take Star to the time-altered Dimension X-103 and use the seemingly limitless time he has wisely and productively.
Like fucking Star's brains out.
"Hah-hah-haaahhh!" Star cried out as Marco's heavy hips crashed into her petite butt. His large fingers dug into her thin, shapely waist as he rutted into her with nothing held back.
"Man, how are you still this tight?" Marco huffed as he went full throttle into his lover's womb. His words rang true as the unyielding grip of Star's quim held firm enough to make the man flinch, but didn't deter his movements in the slightest.
"All the girls I've been with, humanoid or not, have gotten a bit loose after the first 3 hours or so. But you still feel exactly like you did when I first popped your cherry."
'Haaa-Mah-Mah-Mffff!" Was all Star could reply with. She hugged and bit into her pillow hard to brace herself for her incoming orgasm.
"Dunno if I'll ever get to truly break you in. Guess I'll just have to go as long as I can until I do."
Marco leaned forward, blanketing Star's small frame beneath his hulking figure. He scooped her in one arm, bringing her bare back flush against his broad chest and sandwiching her between him and her pillow.
"Mmmm-m-m-Ma-"
As soon as the fragmented cry of his name hit his ears, Marco pulled out just in the nick of time, ripping her orgasm away from her, far beyond her reach once morr. And again, Star whines pathetically like a fussy child as Marco deprives her of another climax for the nth time within that 3 hour span.
"Noooo faaaair, I was so clooose! Again!" Star pouted, burying her sweat stained face into her pillow. She kicked her legs onto the bed.
"When are you gonna let me cum, Ma-AAH!"
A hard smack instantly shut her up and colored her smooth pale butt a screaming hot red. Marco had his arm raised, looking sternly at the young girl before him.
"You still act like you don't know who's in charge here and you wonder why I haven't let you cum or even let my cum touch you these past dozen rounds."
"I…I think I already learned my lesson Ma- er… Daddy…"
Hearing that being addressed towards him always brought a warm feeling to his heart. But it didn't make him any less stern towards a girl under his submission. Nor did it make him hold back in his punishments in the slightest.
"You'll have learned your lesson when I say you have. And you're not even close."
Several more solid strikes against her flesh rang out in the air. Her ears rung and her ass stung to the point of near numbness. Star only made tiny squeaks as little tears pricked the corners of her eyes.
"I-I'm sorry, D-daddy! I'll be good, I promise! You decide everything! You're in charge!" Star shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice cracking.
Star gripped her pillow in a bear hug as if it'd lessen the pain on her butt. As much as she was visibly hurt by the action, on the inside, it excited her to no end. The arousal that quickly faded earlier after Marco's abrupt pullout came back in full force. Her pussy flooded and her body shivered as she fought her hardest to hold back the orgasm that her Dom supposedly snatched away from her.
She winced when she felt Marco's large, rough hand climb up the side of her face and move her messy, matted hair aside. He rubbed his thumb along her neck gently, the gesture feeling so unfamiliar after being handled roughly for so long.
Suddenly, Marco planted a kiss on her temple and with a sigh, she let go of all of the tension twisted in her body. The exhaustion finally got to her and every fiber of her being melted into jelly.
"Are you tired?" Marco asked, his hot husky breath blowing into her ear.
The word "yes" was about to escape her lips before she immediately shut her mouth. She remembered earlier what Marco just said about deciding the course of things and corrected her mindset immediately. She gathered all the energy she could and commenced taking on the role she chose to play.
"I'm not tired if you're not. I could go as long as Daddy needs me to."
Star rolled onto her back, slowly lifting her shaky legs and once again presenting her battered, soaking little pussy to Marco.
"Go ahead. Bang me as much as you want. I'm ready."
As much as her body claimed the contrary, her loins remained a starving void that begged to be filled. Despite how cold and aggressive Marco acted towards her, she welcomed it all with open arms and so far he did a stellar job not going over any limits or crossing any lines that would end up hurting her. He kept it to a good kind of hurt. The kind that left her breathless and begging for more.
Star was surprised when Marco laughed genuinely. It wasn't sinister or condescending, more like the kind someone would make when they saw a puppy run and fall on its face.
"That's my girl. Now you're learning." Marco's smile shined and his chest swelled with pride.
"But I know you're getting close to your limit. So we can call it a night."
"What about you?" Star asked.
Marco shook his head. "I can go for days, actually. You're still learning, you're not ready for that yet."
"But I-" Star shot up till she sat straight. She came so very close to arguing the contrary until she remembered her place and shattered all sense of resistance.
Marco simply raised his eyebrow in silence.
"Uh, I mean. Yeah, you're right." Star returned to being docile.
Marco blew air out of his nose while shaking his head.
"You're so cute, I can't take it sometimes."
"O-oh…" The little compliment shaded her face red.
"Y'know since time here works differently, we could totally stay here for years and no one would know." Marco suggested.
"Yeah, totally." Star nodded.
"Like if we go back now, a second basically passed out there. Maybe even less."
"It'd be like we never left."
"But still…" Marco had a soft, ponderous look about him.
He grabbed his scissors and opened a portal. Star reluctantly let herself get scooped into his strong arms as he took them both back to Earth, back to Star's room, in an instant. The man gently put his lover down onto her bed and she immediately grabbed the nearest pillow and clutched it to her sweaty, naked form like a Koala to a tree. Marco sat at the edge of the bed close to Star, morosely gazing at the wall ahead.
"...as much as I love that idea, I still have a life to live out here. That I fought too hard and too long for. But it's gonna be tough to go on being like… this."
"Yeah what're ya gonna do about school. Or Jackie?"
"Oh right, we're still dating aren't we?" Marco asked, his eyes wide in realization. He briefly felt anxious for a second, like his teenage self took over his body for a moment.
"I guess you two still are. Surprised you remembered just now." Star answered with a noticeable sourness on her face.
The initial panic immediately faded when Marco's expression softened and his buff body relaxed. Then a smile heralded the coming of a chuckle in relief.
"Heh. Dunno why I freaked out there for a sec. I mean I never even knew time in there passed differently. I thought everyone had forgotten about me and moved on ages ago. So I did, too. "
"I'm sure Jackie would get it. She's got a cool enough head not to go rage-mode on you once you give it to her straight."
"Even if she did, I've been in enough deals gone wrong to know how to de-escalate things. Heck I'm sure I can also get her to be cool with you and me. And… all the other girls that came before."
"Speaking of," Star rested the side of her head on her hand as she laid on her side.
"Ya ever gonna tell me about any of that?"
"Of course I will. It's just a lot to go through."
"Well you can start with the younger girls." Star suggested with hooded eyes and a devilish smile.
"I dunno why you're so interested in those girls in particular."
"Because I'm a sicko who's dying to know how he went from getting his crush as his first girlfriend to most likely being a baby daddy to half the women of an entire dimension."
"Again, it's too much to go through in one sitting. You're just gonna hafta gimme some time before I feel ready to lay it all out for you."
"Ugh, fiiiiine."
"But I'll tell you what…"
Marco pulled the pillow from beneath Star's torso, before putting it below her head. He lays down next to her, pulling her towards his chest until their bodies are once again tight against one another. The man then raises Star's leg up, before sliding every solid inch of his thick member back up her snatch, bulging her stomach in the process. Star flinched as she felt a dense pressure filling up her belly.
"You can at least be my cock warmer for the night. Just don't move your hips or touch yourself. Okay?"
"Ah-ah o-okay…"! Star stammered through being impaled.
Despite having an object girthy and solid enough to deform her torso lodged deep inside her, Star fell asleep quicker than she realized. Even though Marco had also long fallen asleep, his body remained conscious enough to detect whatever threat may creep up on them as well as maintain his erection throughout the night. It was a skill he picked up when certain girls he slept with felt like having some fun in the middle of the night or even first thing in the morning.
Unfortunately, that didn't happen when morning came. The two got ready for school like it was a normal day where Marco was still a teenager, though Star had to help him remember what he was supposed to bring to school. But once they were set, Marco said his goodbyes to his Mom, who for some reason acted very evasive and refused to look at him. Weird, but he shrugged it off. He cut a portal open with his new scissors and stepped through to end up at the front of the school.
Marco gazed at the place with wistful reminiscence, his soft brown eyes cast over the building and many of the kids he recognized.
"Y'know it's weird. I thought I'd never see this place again after all those years. And here it is, right where I left it. Like nothing happened. The school and even the students are still the same."
"I don't think this place would ever change even if 16 years did pass." Star snorted.
The two made their way down the asphalt path towards the school building. With every step they took, more and more students, especially girls, started noticing them, mostly Marco, and their eyes followed their every move.
When they were approaching the steps that led towards the school building they noticed a couple of familiar faces sitting near the bottom, chatting away.
"Hey Jackie! Hey Janna!" Star joyously called out, waving an arm in the air with hyperactive vigor.
They both looked up to greet their friend before their faces froze upon seeing who walked right beside her.
"Jackie. Janna." Marco casually greeted them. Their names carried on that manly bass made them jump internally.
"Yo Star, who's your hot and hunky buddy there? And is he single?" Janna asked, her eyes darting between the Mewni Princess and her large companion.
"And uh, how does he know our names?" Jackie asked, speaking as if he wasn't right there in front of them.
"'Cause it's me, Marco!" The man clarified.
"Marco!?" Both Janna and Jackie blurted out in shock
"Marco!?" Alphonse and Ferguson, who were nearby, called out in surprise as well.
"Marco!?" Followed by the cheerleader trio of Brittney, Chantal, and Sabrina.
"Marco!?" Cried out the rest of the students who all had their attention fixed on the man the whole time.
"Uhhh, yeah." Marco looked around, feeling uncomfortable from all the attention suddenly laser focused on him and all the whispers and murmurs that ensued.
"What happened to you?" Jackie stood up and stepped closer, more comfortable now that she's sure of who he is.
"Why are you suddenly-"
"A cut of fuckable meat?" Janna cut in, her eyes climbing up and down Marco's hulking form.
"Janna!" Jackie scolded.
"C'mon, we're all thinking it! Don't you dare say you aren't either!"
"True. I've been thinking about it since yesterday." Star vouched.
"What I'm thinking is why the heck does my boyfriend suddenly look like my surfing coach?"
"Yeah I don't think 'long story' would even begin to describe it…" Marco said anxiously while rubbing the back of his head.
"Excuse me, sir!" Called out Principal Skeeves from the entrance who began approaching the group while looking up at Marco.
"Do you have a child that attends our school?" The short, stocky balding man asked, eyeing Marco suspiciously.
"Yeah he's me. Marco. Diaz." The man answered while pointing at himself.
"What?"
"Yeah y'know, the Safe Kid?" Janna added with a cheeky smile, garnering a murderous look from the man that she's already used to.
"Marco?" The Principal widened his weasley eyes, his gaze searching the man for any sign of the boy he once knew.
"Oh my goodness, what happened to you? Why are you an adult all of a sudden?"
His angry gaze darted to Star. "Did you have something to do with this?"
"Oh my Gosh, it wasn't me this time! Why does everyone keep thinking I made him this way?" Star protested.
"To be fair, anything weird that goes on around here usually involves you in some way." Jackie plainly clarified.
"Okay fair point, but still!" Star threw down her hands to emphasize her argument.
"I had nothing… directly to do with what happened to him."
"Actually it was pretty much all me. My fault." Marco piped up.
"Well, is there any way you can change back?" The Principal asked.
Star regretfully shook her head. "Not that we know of yet."
Janna stepped closer to Marco who himself took a step back while wearing a wary look on his face.
"I dunno if you should. I'm really digging this Marco. Always love me some rugged, older men." She purred.
"Heck yeah, sister!" Star agreed with a fist bump.
"What is wrong with you girls…" Jackie shook her head as she laid it into her palms.
"Well if you can't change him back, then I'm afraid I can't allow him to attend our school." Skeeves firmly crossed his arms.
"Aww why not?" Whined Star.
"Relax,, Star. I know exactly why." Marco gently laid a heavy hand on her shoulder to calm her down.
"Fine then, Skeeves. If I can't attend my usual classes anymore, then is there any way I can go on with school till I can graduate?"
The teacup shaped man pondered as he rubbed his chin. He took a long hard look at Marco, squinting at him while humming to himself.
"Well," He finally said. "I suppose we do offer night classes for adults. Perhaps you can start attending those while technically still being in the school system. Instead of graduating with the rest like normal, you'll just get a GED instead."
"Sounds like a good idea to me. I'm in." Marco nodded.
"We're still in the middle of the school year so we'll need some time to set you up. You'll have to start next Monday.
"Alright, deal."
Marco and Skeeves shook hands to seal the deal. The larger man's grip might have been too firm as Skeeves found himself groaning and holding and rubbing his own hand as soon as he and Marco withdrew.
"Whoops, my bad." Marco apologized.
Everyone's heads perked up in attention when the bell rang, signaling the start of the school day and prompting every kid to rush inside and get to their first period class as fast as possible, lest they risk getting marked as tardy by their teachers.
"That's the bell, ladies. Get to your classes, pronto." Skeeves urged as he turned around and made for the entrance.
"We'll see you again, Marco my boy. Or should I call you, Mr. Diaz, my good man?"
Skeeves patted himself on the back with a chuckle towards himself. Marco reasonably rolled his eyes.
"Anyways, seeya round." Marco waved as he turned away from the school.
"Seeya." Janna and Jackie replied.
"Byeee, Daddyyy!" Star shouted out loud enough for a few people to look her way. Including Janna and Jackie.
That drew a fiery look from Marco that immediately killed the cheeriness in her demeanor and replaced it with the horrifying realization that she may have messed up big time. The man said nothing but kept his scowl even after opening a portal back home.
Even after he left, Star felt his anger stick to her like glue. She gulped, realizing that she's definitely going to face the music when she gets home from school. For now she went on her way to school, joining Janna and Jackie to their shared first class of the day.
School went on as normal. Ms. Skullnick was as obnoxious and boring as ever and everyone just wanted to get the day over with. Or at least survive dying from boredom until lunchtime. Things felt different without Marco in class, though none of the three could get him out of their minds all the way to lunch.
"Star, did you call him 'Daddy' earlier?" Jackie asked with a raised brow.
Star stopped in mid-chew of her tater tots when the question was thrown at her out of nowhere. She nervously swallowed her food before giving her response.
"Uhh…" Star's blue eyes anxiously darted back and forth as she struggled to find a proper response.
"Can you blame her?" Janna chimed in, holding a dreamy look on her face.
"That's literally the first thing that pops into my head when I see him now. Gosh, I wanna have his bastard."
"Oh my gosh." Jackie shook her head before taking a sip of her juice box.
"Whaaat? Look at him, he's a total hottie with a body now! How are you not falling even harder for him after that glow-up?"
"You know why, Janna. This is a bit weird and sudden and a lot for me to take."
"Mmm, I'm sure he has a lot for you to take, too."
"What happened to Marco to make him like that, anyways?" Jackie asked.
"So long story short." Star began. "He ended up in another dimension where time is so much slower and doesn't work the way it does here. So he got trapped for 16 years in there but only 8 minutes passed out here."
"What was he doing in there?"
"Basically tryna earn some Dimensional Scissors from a lady from the Magic High Commission who controls all the portal traveling in our universe."
"Okayyy." Jackie couldn't fully wrap her head around what Star just said but she managed to get the gist of it.
"How come they call it 'Statutory Rape' if I'm more than willing?" Janna idly asked.
"Janna, what the heck is wrong with you?" Jackie asked.
"I'm sorry Jacks, but your BF got me actin' up. Man, you're so lucky."
"Am I? I dunno."
"I mean, you're still gonna stay with him even if he's like that, right?"
Jackie paused for a while, still barely recovering from the discovery of her boyfriend's new appearance.
"Aaaagh! I don't even know anymore, dude!" At a loss for just about everything, Jackie planted her face onto the cafeteria table.
"Wait, if he's been stuck there for 16 years, you think he's already gotten some?" Janna pondered.
"Whaddya know about that Star? He had to tell you something about that right?"
The spotlight shining on her started to burn. Jackie peeled her face slightly off the table to look at Star, silently awaiting an answer.
"Uhhh, he never said." Star nervously gulped down another tater tot.
"Maybe you could ask him yourself."
"Y'know what, maybe I should." Jackie declared as she raised her head.
"I should come over and have a talk with him after school. About what he went through in that place. About us."
"You aren't gonna… break up with him are you?" Star asked, sounding a little hurt by the prospect.
"I… I dunno. Honestly."
"Hey, I'll take him off your hands if you don't want him anymore."
Lunch continued on like normal until the bell signaled its end. The girls went their separate ways to their next class. Jackie was on her way to hers when someone called out to her.
"Hey. Jackie."
That familiar better-than-you attitude radiated heavily, grabbing Jackie's attention. She turned to see Brittney Wong walking up to her, shooting her a smug smile. Jackie couldn't begin to predict what she wanted but she knew it's never a good thing to talk to her.
"I saw what went down outside earlier." She says, her voice shockingly devoid of any malice.
"I usually hate to admit it, but I just wanna tell you how lucky you are that your BF somehow transformed into the hottest guy I've ever seen. I dunno what Butterface did to make that happen, but I think that's the only good thing her dumb magic ever did around here."
"Thank. You?" Jackie responded with confusion.
"Is that all ya wanted to say?" Jackie asked, barely hiding her displeasure in the conversation.
"Actually, no. Here."
Brittney passed a piece of notebook paper with a series of numbers written in red ink.
"Is this your number? You tryna pull some sleazy power move by having me deliver it to Marco?"
"Yes, that's my number. And no I'm not asking you to give it to him."
"Then what's it for?"
"Listen, hon." Brittney's voice sounded uncharacteristically sincere as she began.
"That man you're now dating? I can tell right away that he's gonna be a real… handful."
Jackie squinted at Brittney, half in confusion and half in annoyance for taking up precious time with nonsense. She had half a mind to ball up the piece of paper, throw it in her face and tell her to piss off. But she was polite enough to give Brit a chance.
"Take it from me, sis. Being with a guy like Marco is like, a whole nother world compared to the dumb boys here. They're bigger, more mature, more experienced and demand a lot more from you than you can give. At first."
"Okayyy… just what are you getting at here, exactly?"
"I'm offering you a rare opportunity. To help you find the best ways to make your relationship with Marco much more…accommodating for you." Brittney answered with pride.
Jackie took a moment to think about it. She had still yet to parse the astronomical amount of information coming at her after seeing Marco the way he was for the first time, much less decide what she even wants to do with her relationship with him moving forward. But one thing she knew for sure was that she needed to talk to him to figure things out.
And now another curveball gets thrown at her when Brittney just, out of nowhere, makes a weird, seemingly dirty proposition. She didn't have to question why Brittney had that kind of expertise since it pretty much confirmed a lot of things for her. What she is questioning is what the catch is, because Jackie highly doubted she was doing this out of what she passes off as kindness out of her heart.
"Dude, I don't even know what to think or how I feel about Marco right now."
Brittney nodded in some semblance of understanding.
"Yeah, I get it. I think you should get that figured out ASAP."
"But, let's say I do want your help. What's the catch?"
Brittney's pink painted lips stretched wide in a smile. The kind a car salesman would make when they're sure they've got a deal.
"Well if I'm gonna help you out, I'm gonna need some idea on what makes Marco tick. So that means I hafta… get some hands-on experience with him, if ya know what I mean."
Jackie didn't hesitate to loudly voice her disgust.
"So what you're asking for is a chance to fuck my boyfriend?"
"Well when you put it that way, it sounds like that's all I want to do. Which isn't the case, I promise you. This is for your benefit. If anything, I'm doing you a favor."
Jackie sighed and rolled her eyes. She turned on her heels and began to walk away, her interest in hearing what Brittney had to say totally shattered.
"He totally likes it rough."
That stopped Jackie dead in her tracks. The comment was so out of pocket, it tore her attention back to the irksome cheerleader captain.
"The heck did you say?"
"Oh nothing, just made an observation."
Jackie fully faced Brittney, her body stiffened in defensiveness.
"Sounds more like one Hell of an assumption to me. Where did that come from?"
"The way he presents himself. How he stands, how he walks and talks. You can just tell a guy like that likes to rough up his girls a bit. Always the Dom, too. But he's also a sweetheart in bed when he wants to be."
"Okay? Am I supposed to believe you or something?"
Brit shrugged nonchalantly. "You could. I'm just telling you like it is. You can choose to use that info however ya want."
Seeing as there's nothing else, Jackie once again tries to walk away so she could get to her next class. Thankfully, the bell hasn't rung yet and she just needs to turn into the next corner and she's already there.
"By the way, Jackie?" Brittney called out, but Jackie didn't stop that time. She kept her steps forward.
"Y'know a girl doesn't usually call a guy 'Daddy' unless they're fucking right?"
Jackie sped up her pace, hoping to forget about what Brittney just said much quicker. In fact, she'd rather forget about that whole interaction entirely and just get this whole day over with.
Finally after what felt like ages, school was over. Jackie said her goodbyes to her friends and she was on her way home. She wanted to prepare herself before going to Marco's house.
She put her school stuff away and immediately hit the shower. She stood deep in thought as the hot water rained down on her naked body. Brittney's words lingered in her mind, difficult to completely shake off. Jackie didn't want to believe her, but she has nothing to gain by saying stuff like that to get in her head. Plus, Brittney definitely seemed the type to have that kind of experience and vast amounts of it too, so the credibility was there. Maybe she could help after all.
"Geez, no!" Jackie shook every hint of leaning towards giving Brittney any confidence out of her mind. She shouldn't have anything to do with her and Marco's relationship. It's just Jackie and Marco's problem, no one else's.
After finishing up in the shower, Jackie threw on her purple t-shirt and jeans before grabbing her phone.
She scrolled through her contacts until she stopped right on Marco's listing, which still had his young, more familiar face as its icon. Her finger lingered above the screen as doubt crept into her and delayed her hand. It began to shake before she clenched it into a fist.
"Dammit Brit, why do ya gotta say that stuff to me?" Jackie cursed the Cheer Captain, who probably had many others think the same thing.
"Ugh. No, I gotta do this. Can't let her get to me. He's still Marco… he's still the same sweet, wholesome guy I've known for a while…"
With conviction, she finally tapped on his listing, and she immediately tapped the Call button. As the phone rang, her heart beat rapidly beyond measure. She didn't know why she's like this. She's called Marco a million times before, so what makes this particular call feel any different? Despite his new appearance, he's still the same guy she knew and dated.
"Hello?"
The voice may have been Marco's but it still felt so alien to hear it from him. Just yesterday he still had the crackly squeakiness of adolescence. Now it bore the husky depths of a man who's seen and done it all.
"Jackie? You there?" He asked, with a subtly shortened breath nestled in his voice.
It was a strange feeling. Something she thinks like she should deny but couldn't help but feel it anyways. He only spoke a few words, but they suppressed her instantly.
At that moment, she envied Janna. How open and even proud she was about her infatuation with, or even lust for the man Marco had become, regardless of how weird it was. She even envied Star even more because she gets to live with him. But what the heck was up with that "Daddy" thing?
Jackie wished she was just as bold with her feelings as they were.
"Helloooo, Jackie?" Marco called out.
"H-hey, hi! What's up, Marco?" Jackie nervously greeted.
"Eh not much. I'm just uhhh. Doin'... workouts with Star."
"Working out? Aren't you big enough already?" Jackie laughed, remembering just how buff the man had become.
"Well, I set up a lil home gym while you guys were at school. Figured I could use it since I got some free time."
A shrill smacking noise rang out from the speaker, piquing Jackie's curiosity.
"Uh, Marco? What was that?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, I got uhh... the TV runnin' in the background while I work out. It's showing a Kung-Fu movie."
"Oh okay. But anyways Marco, I uh…"
Jackie paused, feeling like she stood on the precipice of a point of no return. Her lips became dry and she had to breathe manually.
"Uh, I wa- need to s- um, I need you…"
"Huh? Sorry, say that again?"
Jackie gulped, grateful that he didn't catch her fumble there. She breathed in through her nose, and let it all out slowly before trying again.
"I need to… I need to see you, Marco. We need to talk."
Marco cleared his throat. "Uh, sure. Okay. Can we do it in about an hour or so from now?"
"Is it cool if we do it now? Kinda wanna- no we need to talk about you ASAP." Jackie spoke with more urgency in her voice.
Dead air followed Jackie's last words. Nothing was being said on Marco's side but she could swear she could hear whispers or distant voices in the background. She shrugged and decided that it might be neighbors.
"Alright." Marco finally said. "I'll see you in a little bit, okay?"
"Okay. Seeya there" Jackie nodded firmly before hanging up the phone.
As she made her way to her front door, she heard what sounded like a motorcycle pull up in front of her house. Then she was taken aback when it was followed by the sound of… some kind of screeching roar?
"I know, girl but trust me, you'll love it here. And you'll definitely love Jackie."
When she opened the door, she loudly gasped when she saw Marco standing by the sidewalk next to some kinda Dragon… motorcycle hybrid?
Jackie thought, no way, that was like, instant. His house isn' that far but that was literally like a minute from hanging up the phone. Marco really was full of surprises.
"Hey Jackie." Marco casually greeted, while petting his Dragoncycle.
"Marco… What is that? It looks awesome!"
"Her name's Nachos." Marco introduces as he scratches under the Dragon's chin, provoking clicking purring noises from her throat.
"And she's one of the many friends I made while I was in the place that… made me like this."
"Oh… so why'd ya bring her? We going somewhere?"
"I figured she'd be a good way to introduce you to what I've been up to for 16 years. Or for you guys, it was 8 minutes. Plus it's a nice day for a ride, and I thought we could use one."
Marco rolls his muscular arm forward, presenting a wide open palm, making Jackie stiffen just slightly at his intimidating new size.
"So whaddya say?"
Jackie almost wanted to step back. The feeling of being on the edge of a point of no return came rushing back to her in powerful waves. She started to feel like Wendy in the Peter Pan story, where if she took his hand, she'd immediately be whisked away to a mysterious, foreign place to do things she's never experienced before. She had a prime opportunity to explore the deep unknown world that Marco brought with him and the prospect was simultaneously daunting and thrilling.
Jackie took one deep breath before giving her answer.
Jackie's hand was immediately buried beneath Marco's clutching fingers. And before she knew it, she was off to Neverland.
