Author's Notes: Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a bit. I couldn't access the computer for a bit and this one took a while to type up. Anyways, I got this idea from the STARCO TRASH blog run by starcooo after some anonymous suggested something kind of like it. Great blog and definitely worth checking out. Well, This was the first thing that popped into my mind when reading the post.

Enjoy the fic!

"Ok Star, just like we practiced. You ready?" Marco said gripping her shoulders.

Star nodded nervously as she looked over her shoulder to see her current crush, Oskar Greason, sitting atop his car. She had finally built up enough courage to go and ask him out. She was sure she had warmed up to him enough after 5 months of subtle flirting.

"Y-yeah, I think I am," she said. She looked back at Marco and gave him a small smile. "Thanks for helping me out Marco."

Yesterday, she had confronted him about her plan to ask out Oskar. She had spent a whole hour venting her frustrations and her worries to him while he patiently sat there listening and calming her down. Even though she knew that he probably had better things to do other than listen to her talk for a whole hour, he never complained. That was one of the things she appreciated about him.

"No problem. Just get over there and ask him already!" he said pushing her towards Oskar. He gave her a thumbs up. "I'll be waiting for you right here if you need me!"

Star nodded at him then turned back to look at her target. He was rocking his head back and forth while playing his keytar, which Star thought sounded amazing.

She took a deep breath. It's now or never she thought.

"Hey Oskar!" she said as she skipped up to him happily.

He stopped playing to look at the smiling girl that was addressing him.

"Oh hey Star. What's up?" he asked. He knew that she was a pretty big fan of his music, partly because she didn't even try to hide it.

She rocked on her feet as she nervously chewed on her wand.

"Wellll... we've known each other for a while now right?" she said. Her heart was beating at a quicker pace as her fear of rejection also built up.

He nodded. "Yeah and?"

"Well I was wondering if," she paused and bit her lip. "Do you want to go out with me sometime?" she said quickly squeezing her eyes shut in fear that he would reject her.

Oskar was quiet for a few seconds. Star's heart slowly started to sink into her stomach. She was sure he was mocking or laughing at her by now. She opened her eyes slightly to take a peek at his reaction. To her surprise, he was actually smiling.

"Sure Star," he said. "To tell you the truth, I've always liked you ever since you've gotten here."

Star's eyes widened in surprise as she gasped. "R-really?!"

Oskar nodded. "Yeah. So uh, mind going today at 7? There's a carnival around here that opened up a few weeks ago that we can go to."

Star screamed in excitement. "Yes yes yes!" she said. "Oh gosh, I have to go get ready. I'll see you tonight!"

He gave her a nod and continued to play his keytar, now smiling to himself.

Star ran over to Marco in a fit of giggles. She couldn't wait to tell him the good news.

Currently, he was standing in the same place where she had left him and was talking to some other girl. Apparently, the girl said that she was "failing math class" and wanted his help by tutoring her. However, she didn't look like she had been paying attention as she nodded her head dumbly with a smile plastered on her face while Marco asked her what she specifically needed help with.

"Ok. I'll say it one more time," Marco said aggravated. He wasn't aware that all she wanted was just to talk to him because she liked him. He was convinced that this girl may just have had a hearing problem. "What. Chapter. Do-"

"MARCO!"

At the sound of his name, he turned around to see a very fast approaching Star running towards him with her arms wide open.

Oh no he thought. He knew exactly what was coming next. He took a step back in an attempt to dodge her incoming hug, but failed. She ran straight towards him and tackled him into a hug, causing him to stumble while she spouted broken sentences about what happened to her.

"I DID IT! I DID IT! YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN IT! I WAS LIKE- AND HE WAS LIKE- OH WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? MAYBE I SHOULD-"

"St-Star!" Marco yelled as he tried his best o regain his balance with an overexcited girl clinging onto him.

Unfortunately, his best wasn't good enough. After a second or two of stumbling, he lost his balance and fell backwards onto the soft, grassy ground causing Star to fall on top of him, still somehow too excited to realize she had fallen down on him.

Marco groaned in pain as he rubbed his head. His face was covered with Star's blonde hair and her head was pressed up above his shoulder. This kind of situation always happened to him. Star was a very bubbly and happy person, so it should come to no one's surprise that she's excited easily. However, on some occasions, Star would get too excited. Whenever that happened, it often resulted in her tackling Marco into a hug causing him and her both to fall to the floor.

He brushed her soft hair off his face as he tried to unlatch her head off his shoulder. She was too excited to even notice the position they were in.

After a few failed attempts at moving her, people were starting to snicker and give them weird looks.

"-AND THEN I WAS LIKE 'WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR A WHILE NOW' AND HE WAS LIKE-"

"Star!" Marco gasped. "You're starting to make a scene!" he said as he looked around nervously hoping no one would be getting any ideas.

She stopped talking when she finally noticed that he was calling her name. She opened her eyes and pulled away from him. She was sitting on top of him looking confused while most people at the scene chuckled at them. She blushed and quickly scrambled off of him.

"Sorry Marco!" she said embarrassed, offering her hand to him.

He took her hand and pulled himself up before brushing dirt off his hoodie.

"It's alright," he said. "So I'm guessing he said yes?"

She clapped her hands and jumped for joy. "Yeah he did! It went way better than I expected!"

Marco laughed. "See? I told you it was going to be fine."

She stopped moving for a second and smiled warmly at him. "Thanks Marco for all the help." she said. For some reason, she was just a little nervous saying that.

He returned her smile with a heartwarming one of his own. She felt her heart jump a little at the sight. "No problem Star. After all, what are friends for?"

She giggled. She went over him and gave him a tight hug. She felt her cheeks getting a little warm as she felt his warm chest up against her head, though she didn't know why.

She pulled away from him and gave him a wide grin. "Ok Marco! We've got to get home now! I have to prepare for this daaate," she sang.

He nodded. "Alright let's get going."

Star nodded and started skipping ahead of him. As he was about to take a step forward, he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and saw the girl he was talking to a few seconds ago.

Marco mentally facepalmed. He had forgot that he didn't finish his conversation with her earlier. "Oh sorry about that! Haha you know Star, always so- Um... are you okay?"

The girl had her fists clenched and had an angry look on her face. She was shaking and looked at Marco right in the eye.

"You JERK!" she yelled at him. "WHO DOES THAT WHEN ANOTHER GIRL IS FLIRTING WITH YOU!" she bursted out in anger. For some reason, she had blamed Marco for falling to the ground with Star.

Marco backed away, a little scared. "Huh? What-"

He was abrputly interrupted as he felt a sharp pain in his groin area. He fell down on the grass in sheer agony as he clutched his groin.

"THAT'S FOR BEING INSENSITIVE AND SHALLOW!" she humphed and walked away.

"But... what did I do..." he moaned as he tried to roll off the pain for a good few minutes. People were laughing at his misfortune while others were whispering about "What his secret was to getting girls."

Why is it always me? Marco thought as he tried to regain what was left of his dignity and walk his way home.

TIME SKIP

"You're looking nice today Star," Oskar smirked. Just a few minutes ago, he had picked up Star at Marco's house and driven to the carnival. They were now waiting in line to grab their tickets.

Star blushed. She was wearing her usual attire, a seafoam green dress, rhinoceros like boots, her star purse strapped on, and a devil headband but was wearing a little more make up then usual, just to accentuate her blue eyes.

"Thanks Oskar!" she said energetically. "Marco helped me get ready,"

It was true. Marco was constantly worrying about how her date would go throughout the evening, even more than she was. He did everything he could to ensure Star would be satisfied with her date that night.

"Oh, uh that's cool of him I guess," he said. He wasn't sure what to think about that. They waited in line until they got their tickets and entered the carnival.

Star gazed in awe as she took in the sight of the carnival. It was very active and streaming with activity. She smiled as she looked at all the rides, and attractions.

"Oh my gosh! This is so cool!" she said shaking a little from excitement.

Oskar sneakily draped his arm over her and put on sly grin.

"I guess you haven't been to carnivals before. Let me be the first to introduce you to it," he said cockily.

Star giggled. "Oh silly, I've been to a carnival before, this just looks bigger than the other one I went to here on earth."

Oskar looked at her in surprise. "You've been to one on earth already?"

She nodded. "Yeah! Marco was nice enough to take me to one for fun. He even used up the allowance he got to get us there. Isn't that so nice of him?"

Two months ago, Marco had asked Star if she had wanted to go to the carnival. He thought it would be a good idea to show Star what an earth carnival was like. So naturally, she happily accepted.

Oskar frowned slightly. He was starting to get annoyed with Star's best friend.

"Whatever, let's just go," he said dismissively. He lead her towards a nearby booth.

"Step right up! Step right up! Win one of these stuffed animals if you can knock down all three of these pins!" a man in the booth announced. He gestured towards three bowling pins set up a relatively far distance from the throwing line. Beside the pins, was a rack filled with furry, stuffed animals.

Oskar smirked. "I got this," he said arrogantly as he walked up the man in the booth.

Oskar handed the man a few dollars in which the man handed him a baseball. Oskar took aim and carefully knocked down the pins one by one. He was pretty good at aiming the baseball since usually, he would invite his friends to go and throw baseballs at his neighbor's windows, just for the fun of it.

Let's just say he was a troubled child.

"Congratulations!" the man said. "Which animal would you like?"

Oskar pointed towards a large, stuffed panda. The man nodded and quickly gave it to him.

"Come again!" the man called to Oskar as he walked away.

He strode up to Star, and gave her the stuffed animal. Star squealed in excitement as she gave the stuffed animal a tight squeeze.

"Thanks Oskar!" she said happily. "It's so soft!"

Oskar put on a smug expression and laughed haughtily. "I bet Marco couldn't do that on the first try," he said confidently. He was now jealous and a little angry that Marco had taken her to a carnival before he had.

She giggled. "No he didn't," she said.

He nodded and grinned. I knew I wouldn't be shown up by that loser he thought.

"Butttt-" Star began. "-he tried really hard to win on a booth like this on the carnival I went to before."

Oskar looked at her quizzically. She laughed.

"You should've seen him! It took him 15 tries for him to win! His wallet was practically half empty by then!" she giggled as she recalled the fond memory.

*Flashback*

"Uh Marco, I think that's enough," Star said nervously as she placed a hand on his shoulder. They were at the carnival and had gone to the first booth they had seen. The goal was to strike down three pins in three tries with a baseball. At first, Marco was pretty confident he could win. Then, after a lot of tries, he had starting getting really irritated at the game. Right now, he had just failed his 14th attempt at knocking down all the pins.

"No it's not!" he said angrily. There was a crazy, yet determined look in his eyes as he pulled out his wallet from his pocket. He hastily fished for three dollars and quickly pulled it out. "Another one!" he screamed at the man in the booth.

The man cringed as he saw the crazy, enraged teenager waving the money in front of his face, demanding another try. Honestly, he felt kind of sorry for the poor guy, he had already spent over 40$ on trying to win a stuffed animal. He did however, admire Marco's tenacity.

He sighed. "Alright then," he said taking the money and handing him a baseball.

Marco took it eagerly and glared at the pins.

Star facepalmed and sighed. "Marco, why do you want to win a stuffed animal so much? If you want, we can just stop by the store and grab one," she said.

Marco shook his head aggressively. "No, the thing isn't even for me; it's for you."

Star looked at him in surprise. "For me? Why?" she questioned.

He turned around and looked at her dead in the eye, then gave her a bright smile. "Because you're my best friend, that's why," he said turning back around to stare down the pins in complete focus. "I won't stop until I beat this thing and win you that stuffed animal!"

Star stood there, completely shocked and flattered by his words. She felt her cheeks glowing slightly as she stared at the back of Marco's head. For a second or two, she could've sworn he looked a little more attractive at that moment.

This didn't go unnoticed as the man in the booth smiled as he looked back and forth between the two teenagers.

"I totally ship them," he muttered to himself.

"What was that?" Marco asked, annoyed.

The man chuckled. "Oh nothing, just focus on getting it this time."

Marco took careful aim at the first pin. He threw the baseball which accurately hit the pin right in the middle causing it to fall off the table.

"One down," he said under his breath. The man handed him another baseball.

He stared down the second pin for a few seconds before chucking the ball, hitting the pin at the top causing it to fall off the table.

He took a deep breath as he calmed his nerves. There was only one pin to go.

The man handed him the last baseball. "Good luck," he said.

Marco nodded as he took the baseball and focused on the last pin. This was the one that he had constantly missed. He was shaking a little bit from the nervousness. He tried to steady himself but found his hand was shaking too much for him to aim carefully.

Suddenly, he felt a rush of warmth come from behind him as two arms wrapped around him. He looked over his shoulder to see Star giving him a warm hug.

"You can do it," she said as she pulled away from him.

Suddenly, he stopped shaking. He felt an overwhelming amount of confidence flood him as if he had been crowned king of the world. He smiled at her and looked back at the pin. He didn't even hesitate.

He whirled his arm up and threw the ball with such force and accuracy that it hit the pin dead center causing it to fly far out off the table it was on.

"YES!" he celebrated as he pumped his fist in the air.

The man in the booth gave him a grin. "Now young sir, what would you like?"

Marco looked at each animal carefully. He look at each one until he came across a small oddity. "I'll take that one," he said pointing to a small blue, stuffed butterfly. It was the a little bigger than his hand where the wings would stick out 5 in. out of his hand if he was holding it. It was about the right size to be able to fit inside Star's star shaped purse with room for other things.

The man nodded and handed him the stuffed insect.

"Oh and do you have a sharpie or something?" Marco said quickly.

The man raised his eyebrow but decided not to question him. He nodded and handed Marco a black sharpie.

Marco quickly scribbled something on both sides of the tag sticking off the stuffed insect. He quickly handed the sharpie back to the man.

"Thanks," he said.

The man smiled. "No problem," he replied.

Marco smiled triumphantly and turned towards Star, holding his prize in delight. He took a few steps towards her and handed it to her. She grinned excitedly as she felt the small, stuffed butterfly in her hand.

"OH THANKS SO MUCH MARCO!" she said excitedly as she began jumping up and down, hugging the butterfly.

He rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Oh it wasn't much- whoa!"

He was interrupted as Star tackled him into a hug, causing him to fall to the ground with Star on top of him.

After calming her down, they stood back up as he pointed to something on the tag. She looked down at it. There on one side of tag was a name written in bold, black sharpie.

"Marco," she muttered in surprise as she looked at the name on the tag. She turned it over to see another name printed neatly on the back.

"Star," she said in awe looking back up at Marco who was trying to avoid eye contact.

"I-It's just something to remind you of me by," he said. He turned his head to the ground and shuffled his feet. "I-It's just, if you ever need me, just hold it to remind you that I'll be always there for you," he said softly.

Star had tears of joy in her eyes as she looked down at the stuffed animal. She knew that she would always keep it safe and secure from that moment on.

She smiled at him softly. "I love it," she said.

He looked up in surprise. He hadn't expected her to say that.

She took his arm and started to tug on it. "Now c'mon Marco! There's a lot more stuff we have to do!"

He nodded. "Whatever you say princess," he said trying to say 'princess' in a teasing way but failing and doing so in an endearing way.

She dragged him off to the next booth, not noticing the smile the man in the booth was giving them as he watched them walk away.

*End of Flashback*

Oskar frowned inwardly. Why does she keep talking so well about him? Who does she think she's on a date with? I'm so much better than he'll ever be.

He shook the thoughts away. "Agh whatever. Let's just get on with this," he said grabbing Star's hand forcefully and pulling her towards the next attraction. He was getting even more mad at how she kept talking so great about Marco. Star however, didn't take notice of how upset he was and assumed that his haste was because he wanted to enjoy the date as long as possible.

Throughout the whole date, Star would constantly bring up her experience at the previous carnival with Marco. Oskar got very agitated throughout the course of it. Everything he did would trigger Star saying something or doing something that reminder her of Marco.

When they went of the ferris wheel and he tried to wrap his arm around her, she had mentioned how she had watched the sunset with Marco as she leaned against him. When they went on the Tunnel Of Love ride, she talked about how her and Marco had somehow ended up on the same kind of ride without really knowing what it was until they got out. Even when Oskar offered his jacket to Star when he saw that she was shivering in attempt to make her like him more, she had politely declined as she pulled out one of Marco's hoodie's saying how he had gave it to her just in case she got cold that night. He didn't really want to lend her his jacket but he thought it would've been a great way to get her to stop talking about Marco and start talking about him. He was very annoyed when it didn't work (But was somewhat happy that he could wear his jacket since it was actually pretty cold).

Eventually, Star had said she had to go home in which Oskar drove her back to Marco's house. He had been fed up with her talking all about Marco their whole date but had been able to keep in his anger.

"Thanks for that awesome date Oskar!" she said brightly. Oskar held the door open for her as she stepped out of the car.

"No problem," he said smoothly as he closed the door. He looked at Star as they faced each other.

He moved a little closer to her and put both hands on her shoulders. "Star," he said as he leaned in just a bit closer. "Would you be my-"

"You know!" she interrupted brightly, not really paying attention to the fact that he was going to ask her to be his girlfriend. "This really reminds me of the time me and Marco-"

At the sound of his name, Oskar snapped. He was going to go insane if he had to keep hearing her talk about him.

"YOU KNOW WHAT?!" he shouted angrily at her as he moved back.

Star, shocked from the shouted outrage, also moved back a little. "Whoa Oskar what-"

"WHO-" he began. "DO YOU THINK YOU'RE ON A DATE WITH HUH?!"

She looked at him inquisitively. "Well you of course. Who else-"

"WHO ELSE?!" he yelled at her. "ALL YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT WAS YOU'RE STUPID 'BEST FRIEND' THE ENTIRE TIME!"

"I-I have?" she asked shocked. "I-I didn't mean to, it's just that-"

"YOU KNOW WHAT?! IF YOU LIKE HIM SO MUCH, WHY DON'T YOU JUST DATE HIM INSTEAD!" he vented as he stomped towards his car and started the ignition before driving away. He was the type of person to be easily angered and annoyed. He didn't have the patience to put up with any girl really, he just wanted to show off to his friends, which is one of the reason's why he's had so many exes.

Meanwhile, Star just stood there in complete shock by his words. Oddly, she wasn't crying or sad about him running off like that. Actually, she didn't even feel any kind of longing for Oskar when he drove off. She was more entranced by what he said.

"Me? A-and Marco?" she wondered aloud. She hadn't really thought of her best friend in that way before, which greatly troubled her. Every time she's had a crush on a guy at school, Marco would always be there, supporting her. Every time she got into trouble, Marco had always been there, either getting them out of it or proclaiming that he was partly to blame. In everything she did when she got to earth, he was right there beside her. She also remembered the times when she had felt funny around him. Like when she had accidentally danced with him during the Bloodmoon Ball, when he hugged her in fear she wasn't going to be alright after the Mewberty incident, or even her time with him during the carnival where he was always smiling and laughing with her.

She walked towards the front door of the house as she pondered these thoughts.

Meanwhile at the Diaz household...

Marco bursted out laughing as he pointed at the TV screen.

"LOOK AT HIS FACE! HA HA!" he clutched his stomach as he rolled around the floor dying of laughter.

While Star was out on her date, he had decided to whip up some nachos and watch his favorite comedy movies. Usually, she and him would be making fun and laughing at the movies together, but now was not the case. He had to admit, he felt a little empty when she wasn't there with him because she was his favorite person to be around, but he managed to lose himself in the movie as he pointed out all the flaws and laughed at all the jokes that came his way.

He heard the doorbell ring a few minutes later. He got up and turned off the TV after calming himself down and brushing off the dust on his hoodie and pants.

"That must be Star," he thought aloud as he walked over to the door. He opened the door to see his favorite girl standing outside with a blank look on her face.

"Hey Star!" he exclaimed as he let her in. She walked in before he closed the door.

"So how'd your date go?" he asked. "Did Oskar ask you out?"

She looked at the floor blankly, not responding. Marco scrunched his eyebrows. Right now, her expression was really hard to read. She didn't look super happy, or sad, or even anything. She looked like she was in deep thought.

"Uh hey Star are you okay? You seem a little-" he began.

She quickly turned around and walked purposely forward to him until she was right in front of him.

"Star?" he questioned, a little bit nervous. "Are you okay-"

He was silenced as Star suddenly took his head and pulled him in for a kiss. It was a soft kiss that lasted for only a few seconds but to him, he felt like he had entered paradise. He didn't believe a kiss could feel this good, even more mind boggling to him was the fact that the thing he was enjoying the most about the kiss was that Star was the one doing it. He didn't know what had caused her to react like this, but frankly, he was glad it happened.

She pulled away after a few seconds, leaving Marco in a daze. His mind was so preoccupied with the kiss that he barely even remembered his own name.

Star smiled at him and giggled at his expression. She looked like she had turned off his brain.

"So that's what it feels like," she laughed as she skipped up the stairs into her room.

Marco fell backwards onto the ground with a dopey smile on his face, muttering broken sentences about how much he liked Star. Whatever happened on that date with Oskar, he was glad it did.

Author's notes: I still have a bunch of one shots I want to get out and I also want to try to type up the next chapter in UTR. I was initially thinking I would finish UTR before St. Olga's but obviously that's not happening since it's tomorrow. I'll try not to make promises I can't keep next time :P. And thanks for the reviews! I still read every single one of them that pops up on one of my fanfictions. Hope you guys enjoyed and see you all later!
