Author's Notes: HEY GUYS! How GREAT of a season finale was that?! It was so GOOOOOOOOOD! I mean, the whole fandom is exploding on theories about season 2 and Starco because of this episode! I mean it had so much stuff that made it super interesting!
Beautiful Starco moments? Check.
A real, evil villain? Check.
Plot development and more mysterious questions? Check.
Season 2 will definitely be a blast! And I can't WAIT! But for now, we will just have to continue on with supporting the show with fan fictions, fan art, etc...
Well now about this one shot, I had this idea for a while and decided to start writing it like three days ago. It's probably my longest one shot and it took me so long to type this up, but it was ALL WORTH IT FOR THAT GREAT SEASON FINALE! Anyways, sorry I haven't updated these list of one shots for a while, I've been updating other stuff. But, you can bet that this series of one shots will never end until I say so! (Which will probably be never.)
Well, enough talking. Enjoy the fic!
"Marco! Marco wake up!"
Marco groaned and rubbed his eyes sleepily only to see the sun radiating its golden rays from the window, onto the head of his best friend, Star Butterfly.
"Ughhh Star just 5 more minutes!" he complained before snuggling back into the comfort of his warm bed.
Unfortunately for him, Star wouldn't take that. She hopped onto his bed and jumped up and down on it excitedly.
"C'mon C'mon C'mon sleepy head! It's time to get uuupppp!" she sang. She roughly yanked the blanket from him and tossed it aside to see Marco curled up groaning in agony as he lost his source of warmth.
He was very resilient however and covered his eyes and continued to try to go back to sleep, despite the nuisances of the jumping girl on his bed, the lack of a blanket, and the fact that his room was slowly being filled up with the bright, shining rays of the sun.
Star pouted. Every second he was in bed, she was missing out on time with him, and she hated missing time with him. Especially today.
Star 'accidentally' tripped on the bed and landed onto of Marco, effectively knocking the breath out of the guy.
"Wake uppp sleepy head!" she said as she nuzzled his nose with her own nose.
Marco's eyes shot open to see Star lying on top of him happily nuzzling his nose with her hands gripping his sides. He could feel her heart beating on his chest and thought that she felt very soft.
"Star!" Marco gasped, visibly blushing, as he pushed her face up and away. "What are you doing?!"
"I'm trying to wake you up!" she said cheerfully as she rested her head on his outstretched arms. "Is it working?!"
"Yes! Yes! It's working!" Marco shouted frantically while trying to hold Star's head up, afraid if she was any closer he would start blushing even more.
"Yay!" she yelled. Satisfied with her result, she got off of him and started skipping in circles around his room humming happily.
Marco got up and tried to be annoyed but quickly found it impossible while looking at such a happy and joyful Star.
"So Star," he yawned. "What's got you so hyped?"
Star giggled and ran up to him before poking him lightly in the chest. "Very funny Marco!" she laughed before dashing out of his room.
"What?" Marco said scratching his head. he wondered if today had anything special about it that would make her act like that, but couldn't think of anything. Let's see, her birthday is in August, there's no holidays today, I wonder what's up with her. he thought
"Oh well," he said, stretching before getting up to get dressed. "Probably has something to do with Oskar," he concluded aloud before he grabbed some clothes and headed towards the bathroom. He knew Star had some crazy obsession with Oskar for a while now although he never really understood why. Guess it would be pretty hard to understand your best friend when they're from another dimension.
At School
It was the middle of math class and the teacher had just given the class some free time to talk while she corrected papers. Marco had just turned his seat around to talk to a guy named Justin.
"So Marco," he smiled, wiggling his eyebrows. "How's Star doing?"
Marco rolled his eyes as he glanced at the said girl from across the room who was chatting with one of her many, many friends. He knew practically every guy at school had a thing for his best friend; a fact he had gotten used to very quickly. Sometimes, guys would just come up to him asking about Star and what her favorite so and so was to try to get her to like them. Due to all this popularity, he often wondered why Star still hadn't had a boyfriend here on Earth. Maybe she was just waiting for Oskar to notice her.
"She's doing great Justin," he replied nonchalantly. "Anyways, what do you need to know this time?"
Just punched his shoulder playfully. "Ah you know me too well Diaz!" he laughed. "Anyways, I was thinking of asking her to be my Valentine next week. What should I get her that'll impress her?"
Marco thought about it for a moment. He had totally forgotten that Valentine's Day was just next week and people were preparing their gifts to give to their crushes. Unlike everyone else however, he considered that day Discount Chocolate Day since he really didn't have a crush and that he didn't think any girl liked him like that. He used to have a crush on Jackie, but he had gotten over it after having tried a multitude of times to tell her he liked her and then suddenly overhearing that Jackie only liked him as a friend.
A thought popped up in his head that maybe Star could be his Valentine. Surprised at the suddenness of this crazy idea, he shook it off and scolded himself. No Marco, she's your best friend. There's no way that'll happen he thought. He refocused on the matter at hand and evaluated Justin's character. He wasn't a bad guy and he did actually talk to Marco that sometimes didn't involve trying to get Star to like him. Marco thought that maybe Justin should have a chance at asking her out, maybe then she would find someone else other than Oskar.
"Well stick to the usual, chocolate. She really likes chocolate. It's like, her favorite food here on earth!" he said smiling. Well almost her favorite he thought. He knew Star well enough to know chocolate was only second compared to his super awesome nachos, a fact which he took great pride in. But since he knew Justin couldn't replicate his nachos very well, he decided to just tell him the second best gift.
"Really?! Thanks Marco!" Justin exclaimed. "You're a lifesaver!"
Marco looked very smug at his statement. "What can I say? She is my best friend," he said pridefully. He took calling her his best friend as a very big honor. Not just because she was popular in school, but because he thought very highly of Star. Sure, she was reckless sometimes and had her flaws, but that didn't change the fact he enjoyed Star's company, no matter the situation. He would even dare to proclaim his friendship to Star in a world that hated Star, and wouldn't have regretted it.
Justin laughed. "Dude I'm so jealous! You get to live with such a pretty girl! Too bad she's way out of your league!"
Marco's smug looked turned into one of annoyance as he glared at Justin. Thoughts would sometimes go through Marco's mind that maybe she liked him, but he always shook it off reminding him that she was just his best friend and that he didn't like her like that. Besides, he also thought she was way out of his league. He thought she deserved the best. But he still didn't like hearing it come from other peoples' mouthes.
Justin sheepishly smiled as he cringed under Marco's glare. "Sorry," he squeaked, not wanting to enrage a guy who fought monsters on a daily basis.
Marco felt satisfied with the apology and softened his glare. "Justin, I don't think of her like that. She's my best friend! She doesn't like me back anyway," he said confident but a little disappointed in those last few words.
Justin snickered uncontrollably. "Let me guess, you tried to 'snuggle up' with Star and she rejected you?" As he ended his sentence, little chuckles started to escape his mouth.
Marco flushed tomato red. As he was about to answer back, a voice interrupted him.
"Actually, that's not true."
Marco looked to see who the voice was coming from and found that Star was standing right beside them with a smile on her face. At the sight of her, Justin stopped laughing and blushed.
"S-S-Star!" Justin stuttered in surprise. "Er, how much of that did you hear?"
"Only that last sentence," Star grinned as she put an arm around Marco's shoulders. Marco looked at her in surprise. "Uh, Star what-"
"Marco and I snuggle all the time!" she exclaimed before she sat next to him... sharing his seat. She tightened her hug around him and brought his face closer to hers to where she was squishing his face with her cheek. "On the couch, on his bed, in the pillow dimension- you name it!"
Justin's jaw dropped and started looking back and forth between the two. "W-hat?" he said in disbelief. His face wasn't the only one in disbelief. Everyone in the room was staring at the two like their minds had just exploded.
"N-no!" Marco cried out trying to clear things up. "Thats not how-"
"Aww Marco! You're so cute when you're in denial!" Star cooed before rubbing her cheek against his face. "You don't have to be embarrassed about our cuddle sessions! I know you enjoyyy them as much as I do!"
Marco was about to die out of sheer embarrassment. Sure, she had fallen asleep while leaning on him a few, ok not a few a lot of times and maybe he had let himself fallen asleep with her, but she was making it sound a whole lot more suggestive than it was. Not only that, she was acting a lot more... intimate than normal right now, showering him with hugs and more cuddles. (Not that Marco didn't like it)
The room turned very awkwardly quiet as everyone stared at Marco and Star; Marco dying of embarrassment and Star continuing on how he was 'the greatest snuggle buddy' and how 'she wouldn't trade her snuggle buddy for the world' all the while squeezing the life out of him.
*Ring* *Ring* *Ring*
"Oh that's the bell!" Star said joyfully before releasing her grip from Marco and getting off his seat. She skipped to her seat and picked up her backpack while everyone stared at her in awe. She took no notice of this and gave a bright smile to everyone in the class. "See you guys later!" she waved to everyone. Then she looked directly at Marco and winked. "And I'll definitely see you later Marco!" she said before bounding off to her next class.
Everyone turned their attention to Marco who was still in shock. Even he had no idea what just happened. That was not normal, even for Star.
"Uh, heh heh heh," he laughed weakly as he picked up his backpack and rushed out of the room, trying to avoid all the awkwardness that was in that room.
What just happened? he thought.
Near the End of Lunch
"Star!" Marco shouted after seeing Star walking across the halls. He had been trying to find the right time to talk to Star and now was the right time. "Wait up! I need to talk to you!"
Star turned around just in time to see her favorite person on Earth dashing towards her. "Hey Marco! What's up?!" she exclaimed, smiling.
Marco came to a stop right in front of her and cleared his throat. He had been thinking about what he wanted to say about the little incident in class and wanted to tell her why she shouldn't be doing that in public, especially if she wanted the guy she liked to like her back. I mean, her crush might get the wrong idea if he sees her hugging some other guy, even if the guy she was hugging was her best friend.
He opened his mouth and looked straight into Star's eyes...only for his throat to dry up as he became lost in her sparkly blue eyes. He hadn't really thought about it before, but now he saw that her eyes were a very pretty, deep shade of blue. He was mesmerized by them.
"I-I-I-" he stuttered, suddenly becoming incredibly nervous around his best friend.
"Um, did you want to tell me something?" Star smiled at him, not once taking her eyes off of his.
He coughed and cleared his throat, averting his eyes slightly so he could manage to talk to her.
"Star, you uh c-can't just d-do that th-thing you did in class o-openly," Marco managed.
Star tilted her head curiously towards him. She took a step closer to him. "Why not?" she asked inquisitively.
Marco looked back at Star to see her breathtaking smile overwhelming his vision and her face a little bit too close to where his face was. He took a small step back. He knew Star didn't really have a big sense of personal space when it came to him for some reason, but even she had to realize that she was getting pretty close to him right?
"B-be-because-" he tried to say the words he had practiced just a few minutes ago, but his nerves were getting destroyed as he looked at Star, who oddly seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.
"Because-?" she goaded him to tell her more all the while with a smile evident on her face. She was slowly stepping towards him with every second their conversation continued, and in response, Marco slowly stepped back.
Marco couldn't deny it. Star was getting closer and closer to him and wouldn't stop even when he started backing up. He could barely focus on the conversation as he was utterly bewildered at why she was getting closer.
"M-me and-and you b-because, you like-" Marco continued on with intelligible sentence structure untillhe felt his back hit the wall of the hallway.
And Star continued to approach.
"W-what I meant to say was-"
Star took enough steps towards him to be inches away from his face. There was no point running as it was only going to make the situation worse. Marco was trapped between a wall and his pretty best friend closing in on him.
"You don't like my hugs?" she asked him politely though already knowing the answer the question. She took another step to where she was so close that she was leaning onto him, trapping him against the wall.
Marco might as well have had a seizure right then and there, because that was the only thing that was going to get him out of this. He felt Star's warm and soft body lean on his chest and couldn't grasp why she had never felt this... nice before.
"N-n-n-no!" Marco panicked in front of Star whose face seemed to be getting closer and closer, her arms now on his sides, pinning him to the wall. "Thats not what I meant! I mean-"
"Then," she whispered as their faces were so close now that their noses were touching. "Let. Me. Enjoy. Hugging. You." she whispered firmly.
Maco was shocked. He didn't think Star would actually enjoy hugging him. Not only that, he could have never imagined why Star was so close to him right now, he closed his eyes and she felt her breath intermingle with his breath.
Then suddenly, the bell rang. He felt Star move away from his body. He opened his eyes to see Star with her hands behind her back grinning widely at him. "That's the bell! I'll see you later Marco!" she cheered before skipping off happily to her next class.
Marco stood there for a second, stunned about what happened. Why was his heart beating so fast? Why was the image of Star all he could think about right now?
"Did she-? Did we-... WHAT IS GOING ON?!" he screeched into the open hair roughly pulling his hair.
Near the End of School
Marco sat in the middle of the bleachers next to his friends Ferguson and Alfonzo. It was almost the end of school and it was time for the occasional pep rally that occurred at Echo Creek Academy.
Marco shifted in his seat uncomfortably as he heard some people whispering around him about his relationship with Star. Sure, they had long since known that Star was very fond of him, but they didn't think she liked him in that way. Their viewpoints quickly changed however after seeing Star's very 'friendly' behavior in class this morning towards him. Normally, it would be expected that she would give Marco a few or so hugs but snuggling with him in the middle of the room was a just more than was expected of Star.
Ferguson and Alfonzo, like true friends would, snickered at Marco's discomfort.
"Well Marco," Ferguson teased. "I didn't know you and Star had a thing for each other."
Marco turned bright red and faced his friend. "No! Ferguson whatever you've heard, it's wrong! This is all just one big misunderstanding!"
Alfonzo chuckled. "Oh yeah. Because 'we snuggle all the time' and 'you enjoy them as much as I do' have sooo many meanings," he said sarcastically.
Marco turned and glared at his other friend. "That doesn't mean a thing! Besides," he sat back down crossing his arms. "She likes Oskar anyway. She's just... acting weird right now."
"Well, you are right about one thing," Ferguson laughed pulling out his phone. "She is acting pretty weird," he said while holding his phone out so Marco could see it.
All the color drained from Marco's face the second he saw the phone. Playing, was a video that someone had taken of Star snuggling with him during class. He suddenly heard gasps from behind him. Some people had crowded around him to see the video that would end Marco. The girls gasped and cooed while guys behind him either gave him a glare or slapped him across the back in congratulations.
"WHERE DID YOU GET THAT!?" Marco shrieked pointing at the video.
Ferguson smiled mischievously. "One of Star's friends recorded it and gave it to Star. Star was the one who sent us the video. You should've seen her texts! She was like 'look how cute we are!' and 'me and my bestie cuddling!'"
Marco hid his red face in his hands. He didn't even know what to think anymore of the strange behavior. Maybe Ludo brainwashed Star while he wasn't looking. Maybe the Star he was living with was just a clone and she has the real Star locked up in a closet! Or maybe-
"That reminds me, where is Star?" Alfonzo asked. "I don't see her anywhere and she's usually with Marco over here."
Marco looked up. Confirming what Alfonzo had said, he didn't even see a sign of Star anywhere. It wasn't uncommon that she disappeared every once in a while, but that didn't stop him from worrying about her. Even now, while he was super embarrassed, he was very worried about where Star had run off to.
Suddenly, the principal's voice boomed through the bleachers. "Hello students of Echo Creek Academy!" he said enthusiastically. Everyone turned to him to see that he was standing in front of a microphone... holding a box filled with gold and jewels.
"We appreciate your participation, you're all great, yada yada," he said hastily, eyeing his treasure. "Now as a special request, our very own Star Butterfly will be making an important announcement about something or whatever."
He pointed to Star who was skipping towards the principle with a huge grin on her face, a microphone in her hand.
"I'll be handing it off to Star now!" he said excitedly as he placed his microphone back in his stand and hurried over to the school exit, where he planned to buy movie popcorn with all that money.
Marco go wide eyed. Star did not usually do important announcements. Something was going on.
"Hi everyone!" she sang.
The crowd roared and cheered in response. Obviously, the school loved Star.
"YEAH STAR!"
"STAR YOU'RE THE GREATEST!"
"PLEASE ADOPT ME STAR!"
She giggled at all the attention. She was honestly flattered at how the school was cheering. "Ok guys calm down, calm down!" she said into the microphone.
After a few seconds, everyone managed to settle down, their ears and undivided attention now focused on what the magical princess was going to say. Marco looked around him. Wow he thought. Star can really work up a crowd.
Star cleared her throat and started to speak into the microphone. "Sooo, I don't usually come up here to say stuff, but today is super important."
This caught the ears of a lot of people, including Marco. He dug deep in his brain to try and find out what could possibly be so important to warrant something like this.
Star took a deep breath before continuing. "Can Marco Diaz please come down here?"
At the mention of his name, everyone turned deathly quiet as they looked at the awestruck boy in a red hoodie. His jaw was open and he looked left and right, hoping he had heard her wrong.
He pointed at himself and looked at Star, who was smiling and waving at him joyfully.
"M-me?" he asked horsely.
"Yep! You Marco!" she called to him. "Now c'mon!"
Marco look left and right helplessly. Alfonzo and Ferguson were snickering uncontrollably in their seats while everyone was looking at him weirdly.
He awkwardly made his way to the stairs of the bleachers and walked down the steps until he stood right in front of Star. He was fidgeting with his hoodie nervously and squirmed in his spot as he stared into the very entrancing eyes of Star. Today, he had felt very... differently about her. He felt suddenly nervous when she stepped too close to him and felt his heart flip a little when she smiled, which was very, very often.
"Uhh hey Star," Marco said awkwardly eying the very intense looking audience. "Is there um, something you want to say?"
That was when Star dropped the microphone.
Marco looked surprise and looked at the dropped microphone. "Oh Star, you dropped your-mffff!"
Star interrupted him as she tackled him into a kiss, gripping his hair as she pulled him closer. She was giggling and smiling the whole entire time as she kept her lips pressed on his.
The crowd, needless to say, exploded. Some people were wailing as they saw that Star effectively kissing her best friend and other people were cheering and throwing things in excitement.
Marco stood there looking like he was about to faint. Was the world ending? Out of all people, Star was kissing him? Maybe this was a dream. But if it was, he was hoping it would never end.
Finally, Star pulled away from him. For the first time today, she was blushing at her actions, but now found it near impossible to take the smile off her face. "I have to go and do something at home now. I'll see you later Marco!" she yelled before skipping away. While she skipped, Marco heard her cheering and celebrating to herself as she yelled how good of a day this was.
Not that Marco could blame her.
His mind came back to earth as he touched his lips that were still tingling. He felt a smile curl up on his face. Right now, he felt like he could take on the whole world. His mind focused on one thought and one thought only.
I think I'm in love with Star he thought.
At this newfound realization, he strode back to his seat with a grin on his face as he thought about Star. Everyone around him was making a huge commotion. This news was really surprising. People had often asked Star what she had thought of Marco and she had often replied with that 'he was just a friend'. Because of this, people didn't think he would be a contender to win Star over. Apparently, he was a contender and didn't even know it.
He sat down and turned to Ferguson and Alfonzo. They weren't snickering anymore. Their mouths were wide open as they pointed towards him. They were very awestruck.
"What-What just happened?" Ferguson asked, dumbfounded.
Marco smiled proudly as he announced his words loudly and confidently.
"I think I just kissed Star," he said.
At Home
Marco gulped nervously as he held the door knob to his house in his hands. He knew Star was there on the other side of the door and quite frankly, he was actually nervous with seeing her. He still didn't have quite a good understanding of what was going on and why Star liked him out of all people. When did it happen? How did it happen? How did he not notice this?
The confidence that he had during the pep rally was slowly deflating as his hands started to twist the doorknob. Thankfully, everyone at school was pretty accepting of the kiss and some had even betted that one day, Star would kiss Marco. It helped boost his confidence just a little that if all this went well, people would accept their relationship.
He took a deep breath and opened the door. He looked around the seemingly empty house. His mom and dad were out somewhere and Star had to be lurking here somewhere.
"Star?" he called to her inside the house. Suddenly, he heard music coming from upstairs. He closed the door behind him and walked up the stairs. What's she doing up there? he thought.
He arrived at the top of the stairs and knocked gently in front of her door, where music was blaring from inside. "Star? You in there?" he asked.
He heard a girl chuckling from the other side of the door. "Come in!"
He twisted the doorknob and took a deep breath. This was it.
He slowly opened the door, for him to see a magnificent sight. Star's bedroom was decorated and flooded with an array of lights and her little animals and creations that had come from her wand were dancing to some music. it was like a giant party.
"Marco!"
Marco turned to his left to see Star bounding towards him. He felt his heart do flips at the sight of her, happiness bubbling in his stomach that felt so nice it threatened to destroy all of his common sense and plunge into a world that would be similar to heaven.
She tackled him into a hug, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him once again into a mind melting kiss. Marco felt happiness and confidence surged through his body when he kissed Star again. He had never really understood why knights and heroes risk their lives just for one simple kiss from a princess. It was just a small kiss, was it really worth dying for? Now he understood why. The answer was yes, it was definitely, absolutely was worth dying for. This time around, Marco returned the kiss with equal passion, taking in the feeling of kissing Star and deciding he would treasure it always.
After a few minutes, they pulled away from each other, both panting heavily but smiling madly.
"Star," Marco breathed softly as he held the girl's hand.
"Yes Marco?" Star smiled as she gripped his hand softly.
There was one thing on Marco's mind, something he had to asked before he did anything else. "Why me? How did- when did you, um start to like me? And- what's so special about today that you're like this?"
Star closed her eyes and leaned into him. "Oh Marco," she started. "I've always liked you, but I never really realized it until you said you would be my partner for Amare Day!"
Marco tilted his head on confusion. "Amare Day? What's that?"
Star looked up at him in surprise. "Uh, you know Amare Day? Just like, one of the biggest, most important days of the year?"
The boy looked down on her with confusion. "Uh, never heard of it."
"What?" Star said in confusion. Suddenly, she took his arms off of him and slapped them across her mouth before backing away from him. She realized that Amare Day was celebrated only on Mewni, not on earth.
"Oh no," she said fearfully. "Marco, I-I'm sorry I forgot that-"
Marco was confused by the sudden change in personality. What was going on?
"Huh?" he said.
Star bit her lip and shuffled her feet looking down at the floor in embarrassment. "W-well," she started. "Amare Day is a day on Mewni that uh, you could um, express your love for someone," she said with a small voice. "I-I thought you were okay with um, being my partner for Amare Day after I asked you about it."
"You asked me?" he questioned. He look deep in his thoughts and realized that she had indeed asked him two days ago.
And he had said yes.
*Flashback*
"Ugh!" Star complained pacing around Marco's room at night while she vented her frustrations. "I thought Oskar liked me, but he cares more for his stupid keytar than me! How is he supposed to be my partner now?!"
Marco yawned in his bed. He was listening to Star talk about how frustrated she wasn't Oskar's 'partner' for something at 9:30 at night. She had gone to ask him to partner up or something of the kind but didn't pay attention to her as he continued playing his keytar. When he had finally heard her, he had told her to be quiet so he could play his music in peace.
"Relax Star," Marco said sleepily as he shifted himself to a comfortable position in his own bed. "If you really need a partner, I'd be happy to partner up with you."
Star looked incredibly surprised by this as she jumped away from him blushing intensely. "You-you would?"
"Of course," Marco said with half lidded eyes. "You're important to me, there's no way I'd leave you partnerless."
Star gasped, her eyes shining. She hadn't expected such an abrupt confession from Marco. "R-really?!" she asked, excitement starting to bubble up from her stomach.
Marco snuggled into his pillow. "Yeah, sure."
Star squealed in joy. She ran up to Marco and grabbed his head and pulled him up to where she was hugging him tightly. "I LOVE YOU MARCO!" she squealed.
Marco smiled before replying. "I love you too Star."
Hearing those words come out of him, Star couldn't help but be excited for Amare Day that was two days away. She had realized that she had liked Marco all this time, she just needed a little push to realize it. She rushed out the room screaming compliments at Marco and dashed to her room.
Marco chuckled before lying back down. "All that just for partnering up on a school project?" he said to himself before closing his eyes. "Sometimes I wonder just what's going through her mind."
He closed his eyes and fell into the deep comfort of sleep. He had been too tired to realize that Star didn't mean I love you in a friendly way like he thought she meant or that if it was a school project she wouldn't actually have trouble finding a partner due to her popularity.
He didn't realize his actions had made Star prepare to go all out on Amare Day.
*End of Flashback*
Marco looked at her in wonder, now knowing what she was talking about those days ago. She wanted to have Oskar to be her partner at first until Marco's choice of words made her realize that she had fallen for him.
"Sorry Marco," she said guiltily. "I thought you knew what I was talking about when I was talking to you. I guess I-"
Marco quickly cut her off by rushing towards her and kissing her again. Star's guilty expression quickly changed into one of happiness as she melted into the experience.
Marco pulled away and looked lovingly at Star. "I might have misinterpreted you Star," he said quietly. "But one thing's for certain; I do love you. Very, very much."
Star's eyes were shining as she stared at the boy in front of her. She had never felt so right with anyone in her entire life. How could she have not noticed that this was the person she had fallen in love with all this time?
"I love you too Marco," Star replied; her words as deep and true as Marco's were.
He smiled before stepping back. "Here on earth, we actually do have something like Amare Day," he said.
Star recoiled in surprise. "Really?!" she yelled energetically.
Marco nodded. "Yep, it's called Valentines Day, and I'd be happy to show you how we ask out people here on earth," he winked at her.
Star jumped up and down wildly. "Yes!" she shouted before taking his hands and twirling him around. "Yes! Yes! Yes! YES!"
Marco laughed in contentment as he danced with Star to the music that was playing.
You and I left our troubles far behind,
But I still have just one more question on my mind,
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas,
With friends like these, well, who needs enemies?
Marco picked Star up and twirled her around in his arms. Star was laughing and giggling while the creatures that she summoned from her wand cheered from the sidelines.
If I'm your boy,
Let's take a shortcut we remember and we'll enjoy,
Picking apples in late September like,
We've done for years, then we'll take a long walk through the cornfield
And I'll kiss you, between the ears.
As if on cue, Marco put Star down and gave her a small kiss between her ears, which Star replied with a kiss on his nose.
If you're my girl,
Swirl me around the room with feeling and as we twirl,
The glow in the dark stars on your ceiling will shine for us,
As love sweeps over the room 'Cause we tend to make,
Each other blush (you make me blush).
The line was very correct as Star and Marco did not stop blushing during the whole dance. They never felt embarrassed during that moment, however. No, not even for one second.
You and I left our troubles far behind,
But I still have just one more question on my mind,
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas,
With fronds like these, well, who needs anemones?
You're the bird, I'm the worm and it's plan to see,
That we were meant to be
Star and Marco stared into each other's eyes as the song started wrapping up with it's last lines.
We were meant to be,
"Yes we were," Marco muttered under his breath.
We were meant to be,
"I couldn't agree more," Star replied happily after hearing his comment.
We were meant to be.
As the song finished, Star and Marco smiled at each other. Unfortunately, they both understood they had stuff to do and had to end their fun time before Marco reluctantly headed off to his room. He couldn't wait until Valentines Day next week. And when it came, boy was Star happy when he asked her to be his valentine while offering a steaming plate of his super famous nachos.
Author's Notes: One does not simply have a series of one shots about your OTP and not write one about Valentines Day. Well hope you enjoyed that long one! Adding the song at the end actually came to me last minute and it's one of the songs that when I hear, Starco instantly comes into my mind after seeing an AMV of this on tumblr with Starco moments. Sadly, I can't find that anymore since the blog it was on seemed to vanish or something (svtfoe-screencaps) but I still remember it and its still one of my favorite Starco AMVs. Check out the song though! It's great! Well, I hope you guys will forgive me for not updating this thing for so long, but hope you enjoyed and I'll see you guys in my next update!
