A/N: IT'S ALIVE! STAR THE STOIC IS BACK! I personally enjoy writing this little arc, since I'm a total sucker for stuff like this. TO THE REVIEWS!
MaFx98: Your request is up next bro! Get ready for action, laughs and MAYBE some JackiexMarco! It can't all be Starco but it's the OTP, AUGH! CONFLICTED EMOTIONS!
Werbenmanjensen: Who has a N64 20 years in the future?
Power Master Story Writer: Sorry about the shortness and Marcos OOC-ness... Is that a word? SONIC 06 THE BEST GAME EVER! Especially on a PS3 since you can make a sandwich while the game loads!
Lupus Boulevard: Do I have to use a warning label? That's kinda EVAunit42's thing... *Warning! You will FEEL THE FEELS and HAVE A SWEET TASTE LEFT IN YOUR HEART!*... That last bit sounded a little cannibalistic...
Exotoast135: Heh, I gave you a fun nickname! STARS BELLY IS ALIVE?! HOLY SHART! And who buys a game for a console they don't have? That's just stupid... And Star/Marco are not stupid. Neither are their kids.
Do I even need to tell you that I don't own SVTFOE?
"Star... Why didnt you tell me..."
"I-I couldn't... My parents told me that I had to get you on my side before I could tell you anything..." Before she could continue, Marco gave her hand a squeeze and cupped her face with his other hand. "Star..." he began, running a thumb just under her eye and giving her a knowing gaze. Star felt a couple tears well in her eyes and gripped Marco in an embrace, wrapping her arms behind his neck and softly crying into his chest. Marco returned her embrace, gently caressing her back to sooth her,
"Shhh... It's okay Star... Just let it out..." He whispered, his voice was soft... This just made her feel worse...
"I-Its not okay... Not this time Marco..." she cried, her voice growing quieter with every word that passed through her lips. She pulled her face out of his chest and looked him straight in the face with pleading eyes. After the conflict she had been experiencing in her mind, she had come to the decision that Marcos life wasn't worth her parents saviour.
"Please... Don't do this Marco..." She begged, tears finally streaming down her cheeks. Marco closed his eyes and sighed,
"Star... You've lied to me in almost every aspect of who you are..." he shifted his gaze downward and sighed deeply.
"Why?"
That's when Star broke, she just couldn't handle the emotions she was experiencing, they invaded her... Destroyed her...
She grabbed Marco's face with both of her hands and with all the strength she could muster...
She kissed him...
Deeply, hungrily, passionately. She kissed him like they would never see each other again... And in the most probable case... They wouldn't. Marco didn't fight the kiss, instead he returned it, putting in the same amount of strength and passion, He brought his hands down to her waist, gripping Star as tight as he could without hurting her. Star gripped his thick brown mop of hair and deepened her gesture, she wouldn't see him go fight her parents war, he was to important... To her...
When they broke apart, they were gasping for breath and heavily panting. They pressed their foreheads together, letting the sun drop below the hills behind them as it gave it's final light.
"Please Marco... You don't have to do this..." her final pleads reached deaf ears as Marco simply smiled and kissed the tip of her nose.
"I can't just let your home go to war Star... Don't worry... I'll be back before you know it." He caressed her cheek with his thumb and used his other hand to grab her dimensional scissors from her bag. Knowing that their was no stopping him, she broke the embrace they shared and let more tears fall down like rain.
"Star... Before I go... I want you to do one thing for me..."
Star sniffed and looked at Marco with sad eyes, but she wore a genuine smile.
"Yeah?" she choked, rubbing her arms as Marco cut open a portal to Mewni and smiled.
"I want you to love me for as long as you can... I promise that I will came back, one way or another... But I want to know that you love me as I fight for the freedom of Earth and Mewni." Star nodded quickly and gripped her coat with fear.
"Now you promise me something."
Marco looked back at her in confusion, the gravity of the portal pulling his hair so it looked like it was in trying wind.
"Promise me you'll come back alive..."
Marco smiled warmly and ran his index finger over his heart in an X motion. He looked back at the portal and with a final nod at Star for a good bye...
He jumped through.
She gazed at the spot where the literal disappeared, letting her arms fall to her sides. Star dropped to her knees and sobbed into her hands.
"Marco... Please come back".
