Marco recoiled away from her, falling onto the floor even though the bed was huge.
"S-Soulmates?!"
"You heard it. You should believe it."
Marco stared into Star's eyes with anguish. Who knew that a Princess from another dimension would be his soulmate. He still couldn't believe it. He had to think about this for a little while.
"Is that why, Star, or is there more?"
"A lot more, Marco."
Marco picked himself up off the floor. He sat comfortably on the bed and listened to Star speaking, not even trying to push away the fact he liked her voice so much.
"After the Blood Moon, yes I started crushing on you. But there's always more to it. After that night Marco, I started thinking..."
That Blood Moonish Almost Getting Flamed by Tom the Demon Night...
Star sat on her bed and looked at the Blood Moon. It shimmered with countless stars. All she could think about was Marco. How handsome he looked under that moon. She sighed lovingly.
"Wait, wait, wait." Marco held is hands up to stop Star, who was going into all the details. "Just tell me the good info."
"All of it is good, Marco Diaz."
Why am I thinking about that? Star sighed inwardly. She admitted it. She had caught some feelings for her best friend. NO! This was bbbbbbaaaaaaddd.
If she caught feelings, things would be different! If Marco found out, thing like that could kill their perfect friendship.
"Kinda different, not much," Marco added.
"Lemme talk, Diaz."
Star twiddled her thumbs. He came for me. To help me. He didn't trust me... or he didn't trust Tom. I think its two.
She whacked her head with her wand. Darn it, Star! He might suspect something! I did talk lovingly when I said 'Now I know you can dance.' WHY WOULD I SAY THAT?!
Star whacked her head some more. It soon hurt, so she stopped and rubbed her forehead. Ouch, She though painfully.
She leaned back as she remembered how she ordered him to make her some nachos. How he did it. How he didn't even hesitate.
"You know that was rude, right?" Marco said.
"You wanna hear the story or no?!"
Was he trying to make up for his mistake? Star wouldn't call it a mistake though. She whacked herself again.
My soul was binded with his for all eternity! What the-
Star stopped her thoughts. She had to make sure this fanfic stayed on K eating. Good thing she stopped herself.
She yelled at him. Even said the night wasn't a complete ruin. The only reason she said that was because her soul was now with his forever.
Star sighed lovingly, once again. Then she recalled all the trouble she put him through.
Coming to Earth. Check.
Being Magical, from Earth. Check.
Destroying his room. Check.
That was just in one day, not to mention almost setting his school on fire, almost killing him with a giant butterfly, and living in his house period.
She recalled that Marco hated her at first. But that night, they became the bestest of friends.
Star felt her cheeks glow and a smile, so goofy and giggly spreading across her face. She couldn't even hide that they were already close to couple.
She couldn't even deny that he was perfect. Nope. She would be lying. L-Y-I-N-G.
Marco was handsome, smart, strong, cute... pretty sure she already said handsome, but Star wasn't taking cute off her list.
He kept her in check, he was responsible... He was the bestest best friend she ever had. Even Ponyhead couldn't beat Marco Diaz. He was just too perfect.
Star jumped in surprise at Marco, strutting into her room with a bowl of nachos and his tux with shoulder tassels.
"HAY Marco!"
"Hi Star. Let's watch some movies."
"Okay!"
Star never forgot her thinking session after that, but buried it instead.
Marco blinked once and twice.
"That was... deep."
Star turned red.
"Yeah. Then you just kept being the perfect bestfriend. And... I was the one who lied at the sleepover."
Marco opened his eyes wide. "What?"
Star looked away. "I didn't want you to know, even if we did die. But I knew we would get out. That's why I looked directly at you."
Marco nodded slowly as Star continued.
"I was so jealous of you and Jackie that I literally used a spying spell on you."
"Wut..."
"And I wasn't crying over Glossaryck, mostly... I was crying because I lost you."
"Uhm... oh."
"And at the Love Sentence concert, you kissed Jackie and I left. I was even more hurt when you hugged me. I destroyed that billboard out of anger and distress. I don't even know why I'm wearing this."
Star was about to pull off the shirt before Marco stopped her. He was sure she didn't have a shirt under that one.
Star sighed. "I destroyed this shirt with tears, rage, and pain. That's why it has markings on them."
Star covered her face in shame. "I'm horrible Marco! I can't believe I did all of that! It sounds worse from the outside."
Marco sat, frozen as he took in everything. But she helped me get with Jackie. She worked her behind off just to make me feel better. And I returned her with pain and suffering. She is a great person. She is a great friend.
Marco wrapped an arm around Star's shoulder and hugged her tight. Star gasped in surprised with their close proximity.
"You are a great person. You helped me get with someone I liked for years. And you were hurting yourself."
Marco out extra emphasis on some words, which made Star nervous. Liked, great, hurting yourself? Why emphasis on certain words? Hidden meaning?
Certainly hidden. Marco couldn't believe what Star told him. His pain came back, stronger than usual. He hated it. He wasn't certain how he felt now. Jackie and Star and all. Was he though? He was confused out of his mind.
I have to think on this, Marco thought.
"Marco."
"Star."
The pure love in Star's eyes tinted green. It was still love, but heartbroken love. He had seen this when he avoided eye contact with him.
"You must leave."
"No."
"So stubborn. Another reason to love you, Diaz."
Before Marco could process what was about to happen, Star took the dimensional scissors from his pocket, opened a portal, and threw Marco onto Earth, leaving him without his scissors. He never thought he could feel so stranded in his dimension.
Come on guys. You didn't think it would be that easy. Right? *evil laughter*
