Hellooooo fanfiction! That's right I'm back with another chapter of The Diaz Family Roadtrip! After two weeks camping and traveling it's nice to get home and back into the swing of things (Including fanfiction). Thank you guys so much for all the reviews, favorites and follows, you're all so awesome! I'm really glad you guys like the story so far. There's not much to say about this chapter so I'm just going to let you read it for yourself! (I own nothing!)

The Diaz family walked into the water park section of Golden Wood, dubbed Pirates Bay. It was a fairly large park with a pool, slides, a lazy river and even a juice bar. The morning sun had already begun tracing its path across the sky. The cool of the morning was beginning to burn away.

Star stretched out her arms and looked around at the slowly forming crowds "Today i want to do nothing, just relax by the pool!"

"Agreed." Marco breathed a sigh of relief. After the exhilarating and slightly awkward events of yesterday a well deserved rest was needed for the both of them.

"You kids go and have some fun we're going to relax in the hot tub!" Mr Diaz told them while walking away with Mrs Diaz.

"Meet back here around six!" Mrs Diaz added.

"Ok we will!" Marco called back.

"What should we do first?" Star asked

"I think some sun bathing is just what we need! Besides it's almost noon anyway."

Star tilted her head in confusion "What's sunbathing?" She said pausing for a moment "Does in involve fire..." She said with a sly grin.

Marco laughed "No Star it does not involve fire..." He started walking and motioned for her to follow "Here I will show you what sunbathing is."

The two walked off to go find a spot to sunbathe before none were left.

Star and Marcos day of relaxing had gone just as planed (for once). After they finished sunbathing they simmered in the hot tub for a while, went swimming in the main pool and floated down the lazy river (which went pretty smooth except for Star trying to flip over Marco ending in them both getting wet).

Now they sat in the crowded juice bar enjoying a variety of fruity drinks. Plastic palm trees, tiki heads, and bamboo fixtures surrounded them. The mummer of many people talking and laughing completed the ambient effect.

Star let out a squeal of delight as she savoured the tangy flavour of her pineapple smoothie dancing on her tongue.

"Wow Marco! Earth food is the best!"

Marco took a sip of his raspberry lime swirl. "Sure is." He takes another sip "Trade?"

Star nods and they swap drinks. Stars eyes suddenly shut close as she takes a big gulp of Marco's smoothie.

"Ow, ow, ow! Marco my head hurts!" She says rubbing her forehead.

"Don't drink it to fast you'll get a brain freeze!"

"Thanks..." Star winces. "...For the warning!"

Marco laughs while sipping Stars pineapple smoothie. "Don't mention it!" He says, straw still in his mouth.

Star looks at Marco and puts on a fake glare and they both burst out laughing. Marco gets up off of his bamboo bar stool still laughing a bit "I have to go to the washroom, I'll be right back." He walks off and starts manoeuvring his way through the crowded bar towards the bathroom.

Star sits by the bar waiting for Marco and quietly humming a tune to herself. Life is good to the two today. But just as everything was starting to go perfect for once...

Three girls push open the swinging bamboo doors to the bar with a loud slam and strut in, heads held high like they own the place. "Make way simpletons!" The obvious leader of the pack says in a shrill and condescending voice.

They walk past the other seating areas and up to the main bar. But to their displeasure it was full except for where Star is with an empty spot to her right and Marco's (now empty) spot to her left. Star sits blissfully unaware of the impending onslaught as the three girls lock on to her.

"Oh my my what do we have here?" One of the girls begins.

Star turns around to face the three; they remind her of Brittany...

"Move out of the way fatty!" Another girl adds in.

"Fatty?..." Star is confused by the rude gesture, still unsure of earth culture.

"Ya that's right, now get out of our spot!"

"Oh no this isn't for you guys Marco and me are sitti-"

"Not anymore! You and your stupid Marco friend are going to have to move." The leader of the pack demands.

"Hey don't talk about Marco like that!" Star valiantly tries to defend her friend.

"I will say whatever I want you ugly little failure!"

Star was beginning to understand what was going on.

"Hey that's n-"

"Ya and your stupid Marco friend? He doesn't need you, no one does! I bet he'll find someone better to hang out with and leave like all your other friends will when they realize how stupid and ugly you are!" Another girl chimes in and they all laugh.

Star now fully understanding the situation starts to feel the hot burn of tears rising into her eyes and her hearts start to glow. She looks downward to hide her face.

But just before the next round of insults came...

"Ahem." A voice called from behind the girls. They turn around to see a VERY angry Marco. Star even from where she was could see he was trying really hard to not drop the three of them to the floor.

"If I ever hear you talk to Star like that again I'll-"

"Do what? Slap me? Ask me to stop? Oh please you couldn't even manage to do that you wea-"

"Let me make this very clear, if you don't shut your big mouths in the next sixty seconds I will do it for you."

The girls were taken aback by the violent statement and the anger filling his voice but they didn't give up the charade.

"Ya right, is that the best you got? Why don't you go cry beside your stupid friend." The girl said defiantly.

"Listen hags." Marco hissed in a steely tone "You talk trash about others thinking you're so much better than the rest of us, but when you go home and look in a mirror and all you'll see just another pathetic loser wishing they were as cool, beautiful and totally awesome as Star."

Stars frown was by now flipped upside down and the tears drained from her eyes. Sorrow and hurt replaced by confidence and strength.

"Now get out of my sight." Marco said forcefully pointing towards the door.

"You think th-"

"I said get out."

"Like I wo-"

"Are you people deaf? I said get out now." He said forcefully.

The girls became infuriated and stormed off in huff, but they weren't done just yet...

"Thanks Marco." Star said with a smile along with a slight flicker of rose red on her cheeks.

"Any time, those jerks deserved it anyways." Marco replied.

Star paused for a second to think and bit her lip.

"Did you really mean all that stuff you said about me being awesome and beautiful..?" She asked.

Tension filled the air while Marco reacted to the question (blushed profusely).

"I uhh..." He began, but before the question was answered the two were interrupted by a little surprise the girls had sent.

"Hey!" A deep and manly voice called to them.

Star and Marco turned around to see a boy around there age who obviously worked out. He had creamy brown hair and amber eyes that glistened in the fake torch light. He was also a bit taller than Marco and had huge muscles.

"My girl told me you called her a hag is this true?" He asked Marco.

Marco tensed he knew if he answered honestly he might have to fight the boy. Sure he knew karate but that didn't mean going against this guy was going to be easy. He could lie but Marco decided he wasn't going to back down on his best friend.

"Look I don't have anything against you, but your girlfriend is horrible, so yes i did call her a hag."

The hulking beast of a boy paused for a moment and put his finger on his lip.

"Well I think we both know what has to happen." he began but before he could finish another voice called out from the crowd who was intently watching the scene.

"BAR FIGHT!" The voice screamed.

The once peaceful crowd broke into chaos. Punches and plastic cups went flying as mass anarchy overcame the juice bar.

"Dang it every time!" The boy cried out in annoyance "I was going to say we had to talk out our problems and resolve our feelings!"

Marco looked at the boy "Well it's been nice talking to you and we hate to flee in terror but we got to run, I don't plan on getting mugged anytime soon." He said grabbing Stars hand.

The boy looked at Marco and nodded hurriedly "Agreed."

And with that Star and Marco bolted towards the exit. Dashing out of the bar was like playing a game of dodge ball except the balls were plastic cups, fists and chairs. The two weaved out and around people all while ducking and dodging the flying objects. Finally they burst out of the bar and tumbled onto the cool wet tiles of the pool.

Marco crawls up to and leans against a fake wood lamp post. "Ughhhh." He moans "Why does stuff like this always happen!"

Star sits up and rubs her head where a plastic cup had made its mark. "I think your just bad luck."

Marco chuckled and then winced in pain. "I think were both bad luck." He replied and the two laughed.

Just then Mr and Mrs Diaz walk up in sunglasses and tropical themed shirts. They looked at Star and Marco's sorry state. "Ay caramba! What happened to you two?" Mr Diaz asked the two.

"Don't ask..." The two replied in unison, something that had been happening quite a bit lately...

Later that night...

Marco walked back from the camp bathroom to the trailer. The cool air fluttering through his pajamas like they weren't even there. His steps gravel on the gravel road crunched their way through the night. He walked up to the trailer and opened the door. It swung open with a creaking sound. He looked around and saw Star lying fast asleep on her half of their shared bed.

Marco took of his flip flops and stepped inside. He crawled over Star into bed his side of the bed.

"Star?" He whispered.

He waved his hand in front of Stars face to make sure she wasn't awake.

"About earlier..." He paused, voice hushed by the night "I really do think you're beautiful."

There was no response from Star. Marco smiled, "Goodnight Star." He whispered.

He rolled over and went to sleep. It was then that a smile cracked across Star's face. "Goodnight Marco." She whispered to herself.

And that's it for the two part chapter! Now I can get back to writing about their travels, Ludo's plan and so on. I hope you liked it and I will see you guys in the next chapter!
