Anywho I'm going to shut up now and let you enjoy the story! I own nothing!
Marco was awoken by his head knocking onto the glass window of the car.
"Owww."
He rubbed the spot and looked over to see Star fast asleep on his hoodie. Marco had taken it off a while ago; it was just too hot in the desert to wear such attire.
"Star... Wake up." Marco said groggily.
"What... No Oscar go away..." She said rolling over.
"Oscar?"
The princess rolled over again and made a shewing motion as if to make the voice go away.
"Staaaar..."
Her eyes fluttered open to the dry glow of the desert sun. She sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"How...*yawn*... How long have we been driving?" She asked in a daze.
"Five hours approximately." Marco replied looking at his watch.
Star peered out her window only to realize that they were not on the highway anymore.
"Wait a minute, where are we?" Star said turning to face Marco.
Marco looked out his window realizing this as well "I... I don't know! Mom, dad where are we going?"
Mr and Mrs Diaz started giggling from up front.
"You'll see soon enough!" Mrs Diaz said with a bubbly tone. She and Mr Diaz began laughing.
Star and Marco looked at each other confused. But then Marco spotted something on the horizon, a glistening tower of metal. An hour passes the tower slowly grows bigger and more detailed with other smaller towers appearing below it. As they approached even closer and got a good look it finally clued in where they were going.
"Golden Wood Theme Park!" Marco screamed in delight.
"What's that?" Star asked enthusiastically.
"It's a giant place full of fun rides and it even has a water park!" Marco replied with a huge smile.
Stars smile grew; she had never seen him this exited before.
"That's right Marco! We're staying here for three nights!" Mrs Diaz exclaimed.
They pulled into a parking spot in the campground beside the park. Marco leapt out of the car.
"When do head into the park!" He said jumping up and down.
"Hahahaha calm down Marco! We're not going into the park until tomorrow!" Mr Diaz laughed.
"Awwwwww." Star and Marco both moaned.
"Ohhh come on you two, it's starting to get dark and we need you guys to go get some firewood!" Mrs Diaz explained.
"Off you go!" Mr Diaz said pointing towards the camp office.
The next day...
"Ooooooo Marco today we get to go to the theme park!" Star said nudging him in their shared bed.
Marco nudged her back "Just five more minutes' mom..."
Star giggled and nudged back "Come on I want to go!"
"Ya ya, I'm getting up." Marco replied opening his eyes to the Mewni styled interior. "But first, breakfast."
"Fine..." Star complied getting up.
The four travelers stood just inside the gates to the park with their stomachs full of a quick breakfast. The whole place basked in pale yellow morning light as slowly more guests arrived to ride the day away.
"Alright Marco you and Star stick together and most importantly, have fun!" Mrs Diaz exclaimed passing the two their day passes.
"Yes this is for you two being so good on the trip so far, so enjoy your day off!" Mr Diaz added.
And with that Marco grabbed Stars hand and ran off to see what ride they should go on first.
"Where do you want to go first?" He said with glee.
Star looked around for a bit until deciding on the biggest tallest roller coaster possible.
"Let's go on that one!" She said pointing at the Sky Slicer.
Marco gulped and his smile dropped. He looked up at the towering lime green tangle that was the Sky Slicer. Screams Echoed from the dreaded mess.
"Well... If you want I guess..." He said pulling her towards it with a nervous smile.
An endless wait in line later...
"YES!" Star shouted climbing into the seat "It's finally our turn!"
"You know i might just sit this one out..." Marco muttered.
"You're not scared are you?" Star said with a sly grin.
"Well no... It's just I uhhh... The ride isn't safe... Okay fine I'm a little scared." Marco admitted.
"All the more reason to ride it!" Star said pulling Marco into the seat.
"Star I don't think this is such a great idea..." He said trying to climb out of the ride.
Star grabbed Marco by the sides and pulled him back into the coaster.
"Nope we are doing this together!" She said putting his safety bar down.
"Okay..."
"Let's get this show on the road!"
The machine lurched forward and out of the waiting and seating area. It winded its way higher and higher into the sky on an almost vertical slope. Soon the vary top came into view.
"Star..." Marco said with a look of terror as it peaked at the vary tip of the tower.
"Woooooooo!" Star yelled and flung her arms into the air.
Then the roller coaster fell at break neck speed downward toward the ground.
"AHHHHHHHH." Star and Marco screamed.
Wind gusted into their faces as it plummeted. Then it swooped into a loop-d-loop and twisted into a spiral. It snaked up and down over and over again until plunging downward once more.
As the ride pulled to a stop the screams faded. Stars face was stuck in a mix of utter terror and delight but Marco on the other hand...
As the bars lifted Marco raced out of the ride and ran to the nearest garbage can and proceeded to puke in it. Star walked up to him.
"Motion sickness... Kind of forgot about that..."
"Star its fine just give me a min-Bluuuuuh!"
"It's going to be a long day." Marco thought himself.
Star and Marco walked through the huge crowd of people eating cotton candy.
"First a roller coaster then a log ride, a sky dropping thing, bumper cars, a Farris Wheel and then more roller coasters! How much more awesome can this day get!" Star exclaimed between bites of cotton candy.
"Just you wait!" Marco said his voice filled with energy "Tonight there's gonna be an epic fireworks show!"
"Hey what's that over there?" Star said pointing to a red and pink coloured ride.
"Oh that? That's just the tunn-"
"Can we ride it?"
"Well ya but I don't think you underst-"
"We totally have to ride it!" Star exclaimed grabbing Marcos hand.
"But Star its only f-"
"Come on let's go!"
Star yanked Marco over to the pink ride; it was covered in hearts and had swans floating on a small river. Yes you probably guessed it by now Star was dragging Marco to a tunnel of love.
Star eagerly got in line with Marco who had given up trying to explain what the ride actually was. Soon enough it was their turn. A swan gently floated up to them. They climbed into the crimson velvet love seat barely big enough to fit two people (subtle manipulation at its best!). The swan slowly edged forward into the heart shaped tunnel. Star in her mind thought there would be a drop off or some other crazy thing but to her dismay nothing happened.
"Marco when does the ride start?" She whispered to her brown haired friend.
"Star I've been trying to tell you that this is the ride!" Marco whispered back.
"Well what are we supposed to do?"
"This ride is meant for couples you're supposed to come in here to well... kiss."
Star began blushing madly "Oh."
A silence drenched the two as blood rushed to their faces. They couldn't tell though due to the pitch blackness. Suddenly the ride stopped.
"Hey what's going on?" Star asked.
"I don't know i think the ride stalled."
More awkward silence filled the air. But then a voice echoed over the loud speaker.
"Hello all riders! The pulley system that drives the ride has been jammed and should be fixed soon. Thank you for your patience!"
Marco groaned and rests his head on the back of the seat. After a while he heard something... It sounded like chattering teeth...
"Star are you cold?" He asked the darkness.
"Ya I'm a l-l-little ch-ch-chilly but I-I'll be f-f-fine."
Marco hadn't noticed because of his hoodie but it was actually really cold in the tunnel.
"Here Star." He said taking off and handing her his hoodie. "Take this you need it more then I do..."
"R-r-really? You'd d-d-do that f-for m-m-me?"
"Really."
She slipped on the red hoodie and instantly began to warm up not to mention the smell of Marco was quite comforting.
"Thanks Marco."
"N-n-no p-p-problem."
"But now you're cold!"
"I-it's f-f-fine, really."
"No it's not! Hmmmm I have an idea! We could use our body heat!"
"Uhhh I-I d-d-don't know a-about tha-"
But before he could finish Star had wrapped her arms around him in a bear hug. Marco tensed at first but soon relaxed and cuddled up to Star. The two sat blissfully sharing each other's warmth until...
"Attention folks the ride is back up! Thank you for your patience!"
Suddenly the ride began moving again and the two teens parted. As they exited the ride Star spoke up.
"About what happened back there, thanks, for you know, lending me your hoodie." She said handing the red garment back and blushing bit.
Marco laughed nervously "No problem."
They headed back to the trailer to meet up with Mr and Mrs Diaz.
Later that night just before the fireworks display...
Marco laid out a red and black checkers blanket for him and Star. It was dark out and the stars had just started to reveal themselves. Star walked over in a teal and blue sweater holding a thermos of hot chocolate for them to share. Mr and Mrs had set up their blanket beside them and were cuddling on it waiting for the show to start.
"There! Perfect, everything is set up we got the blanket, the binoculars and a piping hot thermos of hot chocolate!" Marco said sitting down on the blanket.
Star sat beside him "I can't wait this is going to be awesome!"
The fireworks show started and explosions of colour and light illuminated the night sky. The crowd responded with ooo's and ahhh's as well as clapping.
After a while Star leaned her head on Marco's shoulder. This took him by surprise and he looked over to see her asleep. Marco laughed "Too much excitement for one day eh?" He said to himself. But Marco too after a while also fell asleep leaning his head on hers.
Mr and Mrs Diaz giggled when they realized what was going on. The show ended and Mr and Mrs carried the two "pájaros del amor" back to the trailer.
I hope you all liked the chapter! Also just so you know pájaros del amor means love birds! (Cant get enough of that starco!) Hopefully the next chapter should be up soon. -Unluckywrites out
