Third chapter already? Where does the time go.

Well, let's dive in.

The sun leaked into the room of Star Butterfly softly. It was a peaceful morning, much needed by the Princess thanks to the constant pile of school work and Ludo related attacks. Star lay in her bed in utter bliss until...

"AHHH! STAR!" Marco yelled out in a panic. His voice rang out, when it reached Star she jumped out of bed in attack mode. "STAR!" He yelled again, his voice was getting closer. Star braced herself for battle.

The door burst open, crossing the frame was a very angry Marco. He was dripping wet, a bath towel clung against his waist, while only drops of water covered his bare torso.

"Woah, Marco, what's the danger? Is Ludo here?" Star questioned, wand in hand her eyes shifted across her room looking for danger. What she found was much more surprising. "Gah! Marco put some clothes on!" The princess jumped back in shock. It was much to early for her to have to deal with a half naked Marco.

"That's it? That's all you can SEE?" The teenage boy ignored the fact that he was only halfway decent; in his rush to get a hold of Star clothes were not a priority.

"What else did you want me to see?" Her mind began to race with possibilities, she shook her head clear of the naughty ones. Could you blame her? It wasn't everyday that a half naked wet boy burst into her room. This wasn't just any boy, it was Marco Diaz the boy she had fallen in love with. She snapped her mind into focus. Maintain eye contact Star.

"This!" He lifted his head to the side and revealed his neck to her.

Marco had a pink heart on his neck, which was strangely reminiscent of the hearts on Star's cheeks. The girl from Mewni gasped, but quickly covered her mouth. She didn't want to cause a panic. "It's not that bad." She lied.

It was bad. The mark on his neck was the same color as hers, and slightly larger. The look on Marco's face was a clear indicator that he wasn't fooled by her lie.

"Not that bad. Gee, thanks Star I guess I was overreacting about the GIANT HEART on my NECK!" He wailed, and waited for an answer. Star didn't want to give him one, in fact she could think of a thousand other things she would rather do. Getting her teeth pulled was definitely up there.

"Is there any way I could convince you it wasn't me?" She squinted her eyes, but Marco was not amused.

"You said you that you had: 'everything under control.' I knew you should've talk to your mom about this. I don't think I could handle another Mewberty scare."

"Whoa, what makes you think this has anything to do with Mewberty?" Her protest fell flat.

"I'm calling your mom." Star's eyes grew wide at his threat. He marched over to the mirror.

"Oh no! Marco you don't want to do that. This is the kind of thing she's looking for. It is exactly what she needs to get me sent back!" Her plea made him stop before touching the interdimensional calling device.

He cocked an eyebrow. He didn't know her mother was planning on taking her back home. "She would really do that?"

"In a heartbeat." She answered quickly. "Look, I can take care of this. I need time, think about how much better I'm getting with my wand."

She was right, Star's magic had become exponentially better. He would've guessed that she perfected over half of the spells in her family's spellbook.

"Fine. I'll wait." The princess sighed in relief. "But… If you don't mind telling me exactly what's going on with my neck?"

Star didn't answer as quickly as he wanted her to. Instead she thought quietly, she had already lied to her best friend more than she ever wanted to. What could she tell him? The answer he wanted wasn't the answer he needed. If she told him what it really was, there would be no way of saving their friendship. She couldn't risk what they had. Marco meant too much to her.

"I would… but you're still naked." Marco gave a girly squeal and tried to cover what the towel didn't. He turned tail and left the room without saying anything else.

Once he was out of sight she fell to her knees. Why couldn't she be from Earth instead? Why couldn't Marco be the magical one from another dimension? Puberty was a breeze compared to what the young Mewni princess had to endure. At least I didn't have to lie, she thought; it was a bittersweet victory.

Thanks for the read. Hopefully the next chapter will be up within a week.

Have fun!
