ArchingHeart2011: Good to know. Yes, I know it moved a tad quickly in the first chapter, and I apologize for that, my friend. Hmm…I suppose the Blood Moon should be added.
Mr. Ursine: Yes, it was rushed, and like you said, sometimes it is needed. Good to know.
PaxDolo: Good to hear, my friend.
Star's Keyblade4114: Good to hear, my friend. I've read a few MonStar AUs and my advisors and I decided to give it a try and add a few twists here and there.
Ravangel: Good to know. And I hope to keep your interest, my friend.
Here is the second chapter. Enjoy, also I've noticed a small mistake in the first chapter, and I hope people can look past it.
Marco moaned as he slowly opened his eyes, temporarily blinded by the rays of the sun peering through the window. Looking down, his eyes widened when he spotted a grey arm and tail wrapped around his body. Slowly looking back, he saw Star nuzzled up against him as she soundly slept. Thinking quickly, he jumped back, knocking them both out of bed and fall to the floor with a heavy thud. Star sat up and looked around rapidly, "What? Who? What happened? Where am I?"
"In my room?" Marco said slowly and Star looked at him in confusion, "Star, not that I would've minded the company or anything, but were you uncomfortable in the guest room last night, why didn't you wake me instead of-"
"I…think I was sleepwalking…I guess I ended up in here," Star stood up and stretched as Marco stood up next to her, "Sorry,"
"Don't worry about it," Star nodded and the two of them walked out of the room and down the stairs.
The two slowly walked down the street as people flattened themselves against the walls at the sight of Star. Marco looked at the monster girl and frowned as he saw her looking down, "Hey," Star looked up and Marco slightly smiled, "Don't worry what people say. You know you're not evil, I know you're not evil, so what's the prob-"
"Marco, they see me as a monster, that's offensive. They don't even know me," Star growled as she began to shake, "I'm not a monster! I'm not, I'm not, I'm no-" before she could finish, Marco tightly hugged her, surprising the half monster teen, "Marco?"
"You need to calm down, Star," Marco rubbed her back as he glared at everyone around them with narrowed eyes, "These idiots are quick to judge people, I know, but you can't let them get to you like that. If you do, then you're just proving them right and letting them win."
Marco broke from the hug and stood across from Star at arm's length and slightly smiled, "C'mon Estrella, we still need to get you some clothes," Star nodded before the two of them continued to walk down the street, Marco glaring at everyone they passed.
Marco sat on a bench and crossed his arms as Star stood in the dressing room trying on different clothes. He sighed and smirked as he shook his head, "Are you okay in there, Estrella?"
"Uh…yeah…just…everything's fine, Marco," Marco arched a brow and he heard Star sigh heavily, "I'll be out in a minute!" Marco took a deep breath and shook his head as he waited.
The door leading to the dressing room opened and Star stepped out with a pile of clothes in her arms. Marco stood up, walked over to her and took the clothes from her, "Do they fit?" Star slightly smiled as she nodded, "Alright, let's go pay for them and then get home,"
"Okay…and then can we go out and enjoy some fresh air?" Marco looked at the half monster girl and arched a brow, "They won't get to me…you told me that I shouldn't let these idiots get to me and I won't,"
Marco took a deep breath and smiled as he slightly nodded, "Alright, let's pay for your clothes, take them back to the house and then we'll go to the park for a while," Star slightly smiled and nodded before the two of them turned and walked away.
The two walked out of the house and Marco locked the door behind them. The two teenagers turned and walked down the street as a warm breeze blew past them. Star closed her eyes and moaned in pleasure, "Are you okay, Estrella?" Star opened her eyes and looked at Marco in confusion, "You look like you're lost…is everything okay?"
"Everything's fine Marco, just enjoying the fresh-"
"Hey Diaz!" Marco growled and Star looked at him before the two looked back and saw three teen girls, around their age walking up to them and the Asian diva smirked, "So you finally found a creature as ugly as you to hang out with,"
Marco growled as Star narrowed her eyes and quietly hissed, "Why you little-"
Marco placed a hand on her shoulder and Star looked at him in confusion, "Calm down…don't let them win,"
"But Marco-"
Marco slightly smiled before looking at the three and narrowed his eyes, "You know what, Brittney, I've come to realize something,"
"And what's that? Why you need a hideous creature to be your-"
"I realized that you are the biggest bitch in Each Creek,"
Brittney's eyes widened, "Excuse-"
"You think because your family is rich, you can walk over people without a care in the world, and the fact that we're in high school and you've already hit your peak tells me that you're going to be a burnout during our Senior Year, whoring yourself out for any amount of money just to get your fix, who will eventually die behind the cheap motel on the freeway from an overdose with a needle in her arm and a band tied tightly around that arm, a dumbstruck look on her pale face,"
Marco crossed his arms as the three stared at him in disbelief, "Stop me if I'm getting close, Wong,"
"I…you…ugh, whatever," Brittney crossed her arm and turned around, "Andrea, Chantelle, let's go," the two others turned and the three of them walked away.
Star looked at Marco, wide eyed and mouth agape, "Marco…you tell me I should ignore them, but you went and said…that to that girl and-"
"I wasn't going to stand here while she insulted you like that. I'm more than certain you're capable of defending yourself and everything, but I don't want to see you in trouble for accidently killing anyone,"
"But I wouldn't do that…I'd just hurt them…a lot…and then maybe hurt them some more," Marco chuckled and rubbed her back, "I wouldn't have killed them, I swear," Marco chuckled as he looked around.
Spotting the swings, he smiled and held Star's arm, "C'mon Estrella, I'll push you,"
"Push? Marco you were nice to me all night and now you're going to-"
"Just follow me," Marco rolled his eyes as he pulled her towards the swings.
Star sat down on one of the swings and tightly held onto the chains beside her. Marco looked down and slightly smirked as he lightly began pushing her. Star smiled as she felt the wind blow past her hair. Marco chuckled and shook his head, "Are you having fun?" he heard Star laughing and he chuckled again, "I guess I have my answer,"
Okay, this was a small chapter. Been working on it nonstop for the past 24 hours and I am now tired. Please enjoy everyone and please let me know what everyone thinks.
