Chapter 3-We Do Have a Curfew, You Know ?

It was different from the one club dimension she had taken Marco to before. It was unique on its own, but Marco couldn't help but think of Ponyhead Princess. She would've had a blast here, he mused. The dimension itself was rather chilly and everything was practically made of ice. Oddly enough, no one was complaining or bothered by the gelid atmosphere. The mood was really chill though and everyone was having a blast. The people were composed mostly of ice and snow and were eating ice-related meals. No one thought that to be a little unusual (maybe even cannibalistic).

'Do you know what tomorrow is ? We shouldn't really be hanging out here in techno-land.', Marco warned. Star really wasn't paying attention, she was dancing wildly to the music. He hoped that she at least had absorebed everything from all the studying sessions they had done. Star hadn't taken studying seriously in the past and she was starting to backslide.

'Aggh, Marco. Sometimes you can be such a mudstick !', Star groaned.

'No, Marco's right. It's really late and I can imagine our parents are getting worried about us. We have a school day tomorrow too.', Sashi agreed with Marco.

'It's meatloaf night. I gotta get there on time before Phyllis literally steals my meatloaf from under my nose. I know she means well and I'm more than happy to share, but dang it ! I'm a growin' boy !', Boon whined. Star rolled her eyes. She didn't want to be chastised by her mom. Images of St. Olga's haunted her mind and she almost screeched aloud but Marco stopped her short.

'I'll kindly take those scissors, Star, if you don't mind.', he said, starting to cut the fabric of space time. They would return to their study session and ace the sttest tomorrow, he thought. They still had some time to return home without anyone being the wiser, and no one even knew that they had been away.

Before they left, Star had hugged each of her new friends.

'We should totes hang out again sometime. You guys are da bomb.', she said, giving them a huge thumbs up. Boon smiled and began to pick up the pace to hurry on home to his beloved meatlof. No one could make a meatlof more succulent than his dear ol' mum.

Sashi gave her a high five before she and Marco portaled away and were gone.

'I have to say, even though she's really strange, she's got style. I like her.', Sashi admitted.

'It's not like you to say such nice things about people, Sash.', Penn joshed.

'Hey. I resemble that. I can be nice. You know that.', Sashi retorted, punching him in the arm in retaliation. She gave him a shy and slightly coy grin before hugging him tightly and noging him before she left.

'Any word of this to Boon, and I rip your larynx out. ', she threatened jokingly. Penn laughed nervously but knew that deep down, Sashi did have a bit of a crush on him even if she didn't express herself in a lovey-dovey way. Maybe one day she'd have the guts to ask him out but for now just being paired up with him on missions was enough to keep her happy.
