Author's notes: Hello again guys! I had fun really writing this one, as I had this idea since episode 8 came out. I submitted this to tumblr then I looked back on it and thought: "Hey, why not?" This one has nothing to do with the hints I gave out from the previous one shot, I just wanted to write this. More about those hints on the bottom of this.
Well, this one was inspired by the episode "Fortune Cookies". It takes place right before the monsters ambushed Star and Marco. This is what my crazy, Staco filled mind came up with when I was watching it.
Enjoy!
As Star cracked open her fortune cookie, Ludo's monsters popped out of nowhere and the two dancers Marco and Star were watching revealed themselves.
"RAR!" they yelled as they got ready to fight. "Fooled you!" Bearicorn said as he popped out from underneath the stereo that was being used by the two dancers,who were actually Ludo's minions, were using.
Marco smirked, completely ready to battle as he brought his fists up to a karate stance.
Marco got ready to lunge at them. "HIYA-"
"Hold on," Star interrupted him as she stopped him with her arm. She was looking at the fortune cookie she had just opened.
"Love is always the answer," she read aloud.
Marco looked back and forth between the monsters and Star with a bewildered expression. "What?! Not in this case! Fighting is!"
"Sorry Marco," she said sadly. "It's not the will of the cookie."
Big Chicken lunged at Marco with his arms out. Marco intercepted it by catching it in his hands. "Really? Now?!"
Marco let go of Big Chicken's arms and ran in circles in the small alleyway as he was chased by most of Ludo's minions.
"Starrrr help!" Marco screamed.
Star looked begrudgingly at the fortune in her hand and back at the fight that was going on. Suddenly, she smiled.
"Star you got to help me!" Marco said running back towards her.
She completely ignored his comment. "LOVE IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER!" she exclaimed as she held her arms wide open.
Marco looked behind him. Ludo's monsters were grinning evilly and swiftly gaining on him. "STAR C'MON THOSE FORTUNE COOKIES AREN'T REAL I WAS JUST-mfffmff!"
As he was about to rush by Star, she had caught him in a massive bear hug and was kissing him on the lips.
Everyone stopped moving. Ludo's minions stopped moving and looked at them in confusion, Ludo himself stood there stunned, even Toffee looked at the pair in complete surprise.
Ludo motioned to Buff Frog without taking his eyes off the pair. Buff Frog went over to him, also staring at them. "I owe you 10 bucks," Ludo said as he pulled money from his pocket and put it in Buff Frog's open hand.
As for Marco, he couldn't believe that this was happening. He was blushing so hard, his face was bright red as he tried to mumble words to Star through his lips. Star however, was standing there, one foot slightly in the air, with her eyes closed, completely oblivious to Marco's nervousness.
"Stwawr," he managed against her lips. "Whaf awe ywou doin-mmffff."
Star pulled him even closer, effectively silencing him, as she continued to kiss him.
Marco's emotions started battling inside of him. Th-this is wrong! I like Jackie for crying out loud!...But why does this feel so good? he had never put any thought into even considering anything romantic with his best friend. Sure, there was that time during the Bloodmoon Ball where they both stared deeply into each others souls, but that was a complete accident since they were basically forced. Well, at least to them it was an accident.
I-I can't like her... she's my best- his thought was cut short as he felt a sudden wave of realization wash over him. He looked at Star and examined her while she was still kissing him. He felt butterflies in his stomach as he noticed all the great things about her. He noticed how beautiful she looked to him, how he enjoyed talking to her, how energetic she was, everything about her, he liked. He found that during the short period of time that he had known Star, their relationship had grown rapidly. Comparing to Jackie, he hadn't even been able to make one small conversation with her even though he had known her since kindergarten. He decided right there and then, he didn't have a crush on Jackie anymore. He had one on Star.
Marco slowly closed his eyes and returned the kiss, which he had noticed, caught Star by surprise as she felt him push back on her lips.
"Don't just stand there! Get them!"
Marco's eyes snapped open as he saw out of the corner of his eyes, Ludo pointing at him and Star angrily. He had shaken off his daze and was getting annoyed at how confused his minions were at the situation.
"But, master Ludo, it's just like that one fanfiction you wrote about them!" a two headed, red minion called out. "We've been-"
"I DON'T CARE! JUST GET ME THAT WAND! YOU'RE SCREWING UP THE PLAN!" Ludo jumped up and down, dismissing his minions statement. Apparently, Ludo and his minions shipped Star and Marco and were behind most of the fanfictions that were on the internet.
Suddenly, Marco felt a pair of lips leave his own. He didn't like that feeling.
"Wait... what plan?" Star had opened her eyes and turned her head to Ludo, still gripping Marco as if she wasn't done kissing him yet.
Marco stood there completely in shock of how nice his first kiss felt. That was all he could think about right then.
The two headed minion piped up, completely oblivious to Ludo's attempt to tell him to shut up from behind him.
"Oh, well the fortune cookies weren't real. It was all a trap so Ludo would steal your wand," he said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Ludo stood there with his jaw down, in awe of how stupid his minion was.
Marco cleared his thoughts about how he liked his best friend. "You-you know what this means S-star?" he stuttered.
"Yeah I do!" she said as she unlatched herself from him. He felt kind of sad that the moment was over but he was glad it happened.
"Love is never the answer," she said dangerously as she pointed her wand at the monsters.
Marco blushed. "Well actually I was going to say-"
"Mega Mushroom Destruction Blast!" Star yelled as a wave of mushrooms swarmed the monsters.
When the mushrooms cleared, Ludo scowled in disappointment. He took out his dimensional scissors and opened a portal back home and started pushing his minions into the portal.
"Welcome to my life," he said in anger to his new assistant, Toffee as he and him walked into the portal.
Star turned back to Marco. Now that she knew that the Fortune Cookies were fake, she blushed at what she did to him. An awkward silence dawned on them as they both thought of the kiss.
She put her hands behind her back and rocked back and forth nervously. "Sorry Marco. Obviously, you know better than a desert."
Marco blushed again. "U-uh th-thanks," he said. He cleared his throat and calmed himself down. "But you know... Maybe that fortune cookie wasn't all wrong."
Star tilted her head to the side. "What do you mean?" she asked.
Marco smiled and laughed, while Star looked at him confusedly. "You'll know when the time comes. For now, let's just get back home," he said gesturing to outside the alleyway.
Star nodded her head. "Okay."
For the rest of the time, they walked home. They laughed and talked to each other, trying to ignore what had happened a few minutes ago. It wasn't all the same however, Star thought that Marco was walking just an inch closer to her than he usually did. She noticed he got red in the face sometimes and smiled a little more often. She didn't know what to think of it, so she dismissed it.
"We're home!" Star jumped up and down in excitement. "I'll race you to the TV!" she said as she dashed into the house.
He laughed. He walked through the door with a smile.
"I love you Star," he said as he walked towards the very happy looking girl jumping up and down with a remote in her hand.
Author's notes: Ok so that was that. I might post another one today or I'll just post it tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have enough time today. But anyways, about the hints.
I'm deciding I'm going to put off my one shot I thought of that was hinted last chapter. I got rid of the hint and decided MAYBE not to write about it because I actually have no idea how it was going to go The one shot was going to be called Safety Patrol. I'll put the idea here so if you want to use it, go ahead. It was originally inspired by a post on tumblr by svtfoe-screencaps on the blog Star Vs The Forces Of Evil Screencaps. (Great blog by the way. He posts screencaps and once in a while posts edited SVTFOE scenes. Check him out if you have time.) The person posted a edited picture where Marco was on the school's safety patrol in which they said it was an idea from another tumblr user, the-tardis-in-berk. (This idea is Romance/Humor) So here was my idea:
Star is walking through the halls with her friend then spots Marco with a loudspeaker yelling at everyone in the halls. The school had made a new safety program where the purpose was to make the school safer and they put Marco in charge. Marco doesn't admit that he likes doing it but everytime someone does something considered "unsafe", he freaks out and yells at them. Then Star tries to convince Marco of being a little less strict and thats where I don't know where to continue. But at the end, I planned on making it Starco somehow. Like maybe Star would try to convince him you have to be unsafe once in a while or something in which he replies "Like when?" then she goes up and kisses him or something.
Bonus: Scene where Marco says hi or something to Jackie and while she's talking to him, she openly does things that are considered "unsafe" to him like not tying her shoes, riding her skateboard, dropping a banana peel. Though Marco has a crush on her, his eye keeps twitching out of every unsafe thing she does and he ends up yelling at her too.
Other Bonus: While Marco is talking to Star, he stops talking to her suddenly and snatches a piece of candy from another guy near him. Marco makes him feel bad by telling how bad it was for his teeth until he started crying then ran away in which Marco just turned back to Star and smiled like nothing happened while Star just looked at him with her jaw open.
Well that's my idea. If you want to use it, go ahead. Just remember to give me the link or something so I can read it :D. Credits to svtfoeheadcannons on tumblr for the "I owe you 10 bucks" part. I just had to add it in.
See you next time!
