Sorry it's taking so long to update! Been focusing on other stories!

And this chapter is short.

Star decided after her talk with Marco a few hours before had done her some good.

When her mom came to speak with her, she wasn't as angry as before. Though she did feel like she wanted to smash something.

Her mother had taken her Wand since she was afraid with it, she could kill someone. Especially after what she did to her when she came back to Mewni.

Star was fine with that. Only now, she was in her battle dress with no weapons in the training field. The boots she wore were kinda heavy but she didn't care. She wanted to destroy Toffee!

Marco would still be by her side, her best friend, if Toffee wasn't a threat. Frowning, she felt sparks of green in her hands shoot the ground under her.

Star looked forward to see her mother staring at her intently.

"Star," Moon began, "In order to fight Toffee, you must be in control. With green magic shooting from your fingers, you could get killed. And, Toffee could over power you with his magic since it's also green. Understand?"

Star nodded and tried to think of something that made her happy.

Marco's hug maybe?

Raising her hand, a pink beam of light shot from her fingers and destroyed her fighting dummy.

Moon looked at Star then the dummy and nodded. "What did you think of?"

"Well... Uhm... Marco giving me a hug?" Star nervously rubbed her arms.

Moon stared at Star before giving a small laugh. "Okay Star. You keep thinking about that and you'll get better."

After that, Star destroyed dummy after dummy after dummy. Each with a pink beam of light.

But soon, Moon looked unimpressed. "Time for you to learn how to make something with your magic."

Star raised an eyebrow. Moon opened her right hand and a white and blue sword appeared before her eyes. It's looked like it was laced with the light, making it beautiful.

"Wow..." Star whispered. "I bet that's awesome!"

Moon smiled, but it soon changed into a sad frown. "Wasn't enough to beat Toffee though. He easily destroyed it."

Star gaped at her mother. Toffee beat my mother?! That's why she was so beat up!

There was a thumping behind Star and she turned around only to gasp. Her father was running in on a warnicorn. And on its back was...

"Marco! How are you here!" Star exclaimed.

River spoke before Marco did. "Says he used a bell and hammer to get to one of his demon friends! He gave him dimensional scissors!"

Star felt her jaw drop open. She forgot about that bell and hammer! How Marco had it! She face-palmed.

"Marco... Go... Home"

Marco jumped off the warnicorn and walked up to Star. When she looked up, she realized how close he was.

"No."

Star couldn't believe how blunt he sounded.

"I'm not leaving. No matter how much you throw me into a portal." Marco sighed as he combed his fingers through his hair. "What's the point of sending me home when I promised I'd bring you back in one piece?"

Star gaped at him before backing away. "But... I'm not going back!"

Marco stared at her. "I know. After you fight Toffee you're likely to have to live up to your Princess potential. I'm not complaining. I'll just stay."

Star grabbed her hair. "YOU CAN'T STAY. GO HOME!!!"

"NO!"

"YES!"

"NO!"

King and Queen Butterfly just looked at the duo with grinning faces.

"FINE! You can stay!" Star gasped.

"Wasn't like I already wasn't gonna." Marco said with a sly smile on his face.
