Moon shivered at the thought. Her daughter, Eclispa? Ha! Star lightened everyone's day with her presence! But, then again, Star tossed her to walls and out her door without a thought, nor much effort.
It was like... dipping down... was always that... simple. Moon recalled when Star had called her when her bestfriend was locked in the closet.
She didn't even know what dipping down was. Moon quickly got up and tried to walk back in, but as soon as she got right at the door, it slammed.
Moon recoiled, rubbing her forehead. "What is that boy to her?"
Moon kept rubbing, but now in thought.
"This only happens when it's true love. But why would someone from Earth be able to take my daughter's heart in as much as a few months?!"
She breathed in deep, letting it go before whipping her hair out of its heart shape.
"Mewni isn't safe with Star here now. Nor are we. We have to flee."
Moon ran down the hall, a hairstyle similar to Star's flying behind her. She burst into the royal bedroom. River sat up from the king sized bed and gasped in surprise.
"Why... Moon! Where ever did you come from?!"
Moon rolled her eyes and spoke a spell. Her diamonds glowed and everything in the room was now in a neatly packed bag. That bag was huge though.
"We must leave! Star is dangerous to the people of Mewni. She is heartbroken because it seems she has been taken from her true love. That boy named...Marco."River caressed his beard.
"That Marco, huh? Well I've already accepted him as my son-in-law. Ha ha heh! He'll make a perfect King."
"You did what?!""Darling, I've accepted that Star loves him. And he is smart and handsome and even strong. Don't you think he'll make the perfect king?"
"Well... maybe a knight, but no King."
River shook his head.
"King would be the perfect."
Moon sighed.
"Fine. But if he doesn't even try to come to Star's need, he will never be a King in my eyes."
"If you say so, darling."
Just then, a portal opened in front of the door. Out of the portal was Marco. He stumbled across the hallway.
Then he turned to the King and Queen.
"Where's Star?"His voice was angry but sad at the same time. His eyes were red and they were filled with determination.
King River smiled to his wife who face-palmed herself.
"Why hello Marco. Manners. She is in her room."
"THEN WHERE'S HER ROOM?!"River and Moon looked at each other, surprised at Marco's tone. He wasn't playing no games.
River pointed down the hallway.
"5th room to the left."
Marco bolted down the hallway, running full speed. The rooms were well spaces since the castle was so large. But River knew that he would find it.
"So, Moon.""Fine! He could be King! A great one at that! Even a knight would suit him."
"I have to agree, darling.''
Marco ran as fast as he could, the doors so well spaces that even his leap-run took 10 steps to get to the next door. He imagined trying to walk to her room. He shivered.
Never, he thought.
After about a 500 meter dash, Marco finally met Star's door.
He thought. Things are gonna be awkward. I have to be ready.Suddenly, he heard running towards him to see River.
"Open the door before it's too late!"What?! Too late?!Without a thought, Marco pushed the door open to see Star pulling on a shirt. Luckily, it was already on, she just pulled it down further.
She screamed. But Marco knew something was wrong.
Star's eyes were green and the hearts on her cheeks were black and broken in halves. Who was this girl? Where was his Sunshine?
"Star? It's me."
The girl looked at him before her eyes instantly turned blue and her hearts turned pink. The hearts slowly mended themselves together, but there was still a crack at the top.
"Marco!"
Marco smiled as Star ran over to him and gave him a bone crushing hug. He hugged back, relishing her warmth, but then she pushed him away. He instantly wanted the warmth back.
"Why are you here? I left for a reason."
"But you left without an explanation."
"Yeah... so..."
"Why did you leave?"
Star turned her head away from Marco, little tears falling from her eyes.
"Toffee is back and he's coming for me."
"What?!"
"That's what I thought."
Marco shook his head.
"I'm helping."
Star stared at Marco with sadness and surprise in her eyes.
"Marco... you know you can't do that."
"I don't care."
Star gave him a smile, and now he realized what that look was. It was pure... love. Marco gulped. Why he gulped? He didn't know.
Star shook her head.
"No Marco. Go home to Jackie and our friends and family."
Marco rubbed that back of his head and looked at Star nervously.
"I... broke... up... with... Jackie."
"You did what?!""Well, yeah. I had to look for you. Not mention get some answers."
Star blushed a little. Her full on crush, full on true love, broke up with his girlfriend for her. Maybe... maybe she heard this wrong. But right now, she wanted to talk to Marco in private.
"Excuse me Dad, but may I talk to Marco in privately."
"Of course dear."
River walked out and closed the door. Smiling, he listened in.
"Marco, you can't stay."
Marco combed his hair with his fingers.
"Yeah, so? I'm staying. But let's get to the parts I want to know."
"What?"
"When did you start liking me?"
Star felt her face turn tomato red and she quickly covered it with the shirt. Marco just noticed it was the concert T. But it had markings over it. He was snapped out his thoughts as Star started talking.
"The Blood Moon Ball, actually."
Marco rose his eyebrow.
"Okay, yeah. I did. But..." Star hesitated as she kept talking, Marco looking at her with a look that said "keep speaking."
"I neglected it. But I knew I couldn't hide it. Because guess what?"
"What?"
"That Ball said we were soulmates."
I can't wait to see what happens next. Or because I can't wait to see what my fingers will lead me...
