Epilogue
School had been no big whoop for either Marco, Star or Penn, Boon and Sashi. Star had gotten a B+ on her exam all because she had Marco's encouragement and help.
'Stick with me, kid and I'll have you acing exams !', Marco crowed, doing an elaborate high-five/fist bump explosion with Star. Star hugged him in celebration.
'I know what we should do ! Let's go get some of that icy cold cream stuff that tingles my tongue.', Star said.
'You mean ice cream, Star. I couldn't agree more !', Marco said. He had to smile thinking how this wouldn't have been possible if she hadn't gone to that strange feudal world and then crammed that night for the exam at the library. It was a foolproof plan that ultimately suceeded. They talked and laughed about their new friends from outside of their home. It felt so familiar though, like they had never really left.
'We'll have to catch up with them sometime.', Star mentioned.
'Yeah, they were all so rad.',Marco concurred, slurping up his root beer float. That evening they slept well in their own comfy beds, wondering what tomorrow's adventure would lead them.
Before going to sleep, Penn laughed. That Star Butterfly was certainly interesting to say the least. She had been so deft and agile that he could see her working with his team and instantly defeating Rippen anytime , anyewhere. There was no telling whether they would see each other again or not, but it had been an ultimate delight having fought alongside her. He couldn't be happier that she waand Marco were allies. Marco, he thought was the second brother only to Boon that he never had. At least now he had one extra bro, just in case of emergencies. He had said his goodnights to his mom and dad over his MUHU, giving them virtual hugs. One day, he thought, it would be an actual embrace he would get from them, but they were busy being full-time heroes. He inhaled deeply, knowing his dreams would come true, as they usually did, but knowing they were still alive and kicking villainous behind was all he needed to know that they were out there and loved him dearly.
