Author's Notes: Hey guys! Back with another one shot I came up with in class a few days ago! This one I actually mixed with a idea submitted into svtfoeheadcannons' blog on tumblr. I don't want to give too much away yet so I'll just let you read it first.

Anyways, enjoy the fic!

Star was angry. No, scratch that. Angry was not enough of a word to describe what Star was feeling right now.

Right now, she was downright furious.

"Marcooo," Star called hauntingly to the boy as she walked slowly and menacingly up the stairs, the light of the moon shining through the window illuminating every step she took. "Come out, come out! I just want to... talk to you for a little bit!"

Meanwhile upstairs, Marco Diaz raced to his room and slammed the door shut. He quickly locked the room and scrambled to get anything he could find and used it to barricade the door to his room.

"How could I be so stupid?!" Marco scolded himself in regret as he placed the concrete bricks he used for karate in front of the door. "Now she's going to kill me!"

"Marcooo!" Star's voice came from the top of the stairs. "What's the matter? It's just you're best bestie, Star!" she said, her voice dripping with venom.

Marco quickened his pace and brought wood he chopped while practicing for karate and piled it in front of the door.

"Look Star, I'm really sorry! I didn't meant to do it!" his yelled frantically, his voice radiating his fear.

"Sure you didn't," Star's voice answered back as she slowly walked towards the door of her target. "Doesn't matter now. You'll never do it again after I'm done with you!"

Marco gulped when he heard the wand charging up as she finished her sentence. He desperately scanned his room for a place to hide temporarily and spotted his bed. He dived under the bed and moved away from the door just as it was blasted open by Star's magic.

"I know you're in here somewhere Marcooo!" she sang dangerously.

Marco held his breath as he listened to Star's footsteps quickly approaching closer and closer to his bed until her feet were visible. It was very quiet for a moment, and Marco prayed she wouldn't check under the bed. Thankfully for him, she turned towards his closet and made her way towards it, deciding that she would first check there.

Marco saw this as an opportunity. While her back was facing the bed as she headed towards the closet, he slowly crawled out from under the bed and very, very quietly made his way towards the door.

Meanwhile, Star was gazing at the closet mischievously. She was savoring the moment when she would catch him, picturing his fear ridden face as she blasted him with all sorts of spells. Her wand was glowing with power as she held the door of her closet, a smile inching across her face every second that passed.

"I GOT YOU NOW!" Star yelled as she pushed the closet door open quickly. To her disappointment, she found no Marco there. She frowned as she put a finger to her chin. Where could he have gone? she thought.

Suddenly, Star heard the sound of a door creaking open from behind her. She turned around to see Marco Diaz slowly opening the door to exit his room He froze in fear as his eyes met her gaze and smiled sheepishly before slamming the door open and dashing out of the room.

Star narrowed her eyes in anger as she ran out the door to chase the boy.

"HEY! GET BACK HERE DIAZ!" she screamed as she shot narwhals out of her wand, aimed directly towards Marco who was running like his life depended on it. He reached the bottom of the stairs and spotted the door to exit his house. He sprinted towards the door and turned the knob. Marco smiled in relief. Just a little bit more and-

"Oof!" Marco grunted as he felt arms wrap around his neck, cutting his thought off and pulling him backwards onto the ground before he could finish turning the knob.

He found himself pushed to the ground while his attacker sat on his chest to prevent him from moving. He adjusted his eyes to the figure in front of him to find himself staring at the angry face of Star Butterfly.

"There's no escape now Marco!" Star yelled at him waving her wand angrily in front of his face.

Marco tried to resist and get out from under her but found that he couldn't she had him locked to the floor. He let out a loud, audible groan, fully accepting his fate.

"Star, we can work this out. I swear-"

"Save it!" Star snapped as she held her wand above him. "Now before I punish you, I want to know why you did it!"

Marco let out a loud sigh of defeat. He wasn't getting out of this one.

"Ok Star," he started. "The truth is, I-"

"WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LIE TO ME AND HANG OUT WITH SOME OTHER GIRL INSTEAD OF ME?!" Star loudly interrupted him, her wand glowing.

Marco sighed again. "You see I-"

He stopped talking as he took in what she had just said. His face contorted into one of confusion as he looked up at the girl holding him down. "Wait... what?"

Star growled. "You heard me! You told me that whatever you had to do was so important that you couldn't hang out with me today! BUT, instead of seeing you doing anything important, you were chatting it up with some girl!"

Star lowered her head so their noses were touching. "WHO IS SHE?! IS SHE YOUR NEW BESTIE?! WHERE DOES SHE LIVE?!" she screeched. She felt angry that Marco had ditched her and lied about having something important just to talk with some other girl. She would've understood if he had just told her the truth!

Marco, however, continued to stare up at her in confusion. "Girl?" Marco asked.

"Yes a girl!" Star snarled in annoyance as she moved her head back up.

Marco thought about what she said for a second, before realization slammed him in the face. His eyes widened as he figured out what she was talking about.

"OH!" he let out a hearty, laugh.

Star felt a smile almost overtake her when she heard Marco's laugh before reminding herself she was angry with him. As angry as she was, she did love to hear him laugh.

"Hey! Why are you laughing?!" she demanded.

Marco gently wiped the tears from his laughter with his arms.

"Star," he chuckled. "Is that why you're so mad?"

"W-well-well... yeah!" she said flustered. Why is he laughing?!

"Star," he repeated. "I was just asking around for you're gift!" he laughed.

Star looked down at him with a confused look. "My... gift?"

"Yeah! You know your gi...ft," Marco trailed off as he realized what he said and quickly covered his mouth with his hands. He suddenly broke into a sweat and looked away from her, a deep shade of red dusting his face.

Star bit her lip to contain a giggle from coming out. She couldn't help but think Marco looked adorable when he was embarrassed. "What gift?" Star questioned, no more poison in her voice; just full of curiosity.

"I, uh," Marco cleared his throat and stared at a nearby couch which was starting to look very interesting. "So, uh r- remember when you first came here a few months ago?"

Star blinked. "Yeah of course!" she answered. How could she not forget that? That was the day her whole life got a lot more exciting. It was the day she was able to start training with her wand, but more importantly, it was the day she had first met Marco. Ever since then, they had gone on many adventures and became the best of friends. Star smiled at that memory every time she remembered it.

Marco gripped the collar of his hoodie, suddenly finding the cold, night filled air of the room very warm. "Well I um, found out the day you came here was also the day of your... um, birthday."

Star raised her eyebrows. What was he getting at?

"So, well the girl that I was talking to's dad is actually a jeweler and uh, I gave her money so she could ask her dad to make me something. She was just giving it to me."

Star's eyes widened. He couldn't have! No, he isn't going to... is he?!

"So um..." his hand was shaking as he reached into his jean pocket and pulled out a small box. "I got you, um this."

He opened the box as he was lying down and Star gasped, her eyes twinkling as she saw what was in there. Contained in the box was a beautiful, but fairly cheap looking necklace with the names "Star&Marco" engraved on the front.

Marco fiddled with his hair nervously. Why he chose to get her such an expensive gift, even he barely knew.

"I know you're a princess and all and you see jewels and stuff like, everyday, but I thought that... maybe, you know, you would like it," Marco finished.

Star didn't waste another second as a grin formed on her face as she looked down at her best friend who looked like he was suffering from embarrassment while being trapped under her. She excitedly plopped down on his chest and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I LOVE IT!" she screamed happily.

Marco blushed as he returned the sudden hug by Star. To him, she felt really... nice to hold. He decided a hug from her was worth the money he saved up for the necklace.

Star scrambled off of him and stood up, excitedly grabbing Marco's hand and pulling him up with her.

"Marco, Marco, Marco! Help me put it on!" she begged him as she shook his hand up and down.

Marco blushed. "M-me?" he squeaked.

Star nodded. "Yeah! You!"

"But uh," he turned away from her slightly, not being able to meet her gaze. "Are you sure that's okay?"

"What do you mean?! Of course it's okay!" she exclaimed. She turned her back to him and brushed her hair out of the way to reveal the back of her neck. "Put it on! Put it on!"

Marco guled as he took the necklace from the box and steadily wrapped it around her. Ignore the fact your arms are around her Diaz, ignore it, ignore it, ignore it! he repeated to himself over and over as he felt his hand brush slightly against her neck. He tried to ignore the shaking of his hands and the warm feeling he got as he clasped the necklace together.

"Done," he sighed in relief as he retracted his hands back. He still felt very nervous and shaky. Even though this was his best friend, she was still a girl and giving a girl a necklace like this still had many... implications.

Star looked into a nearby mirror and squealed in delight. "It's so pretty Marco!"

Marco chuckled to himself. "Glad you liked it."

Star turned around and gave him a smile so bright, Marco thought that even the sun couldn't compete with a smile as bright as that.

Star was happy. No, beyond happy. Yes, it was true she saw jewels everyday, but she understood how hard Marco must've worked and how much money he had to have put into the necklace just to have it made for her. She knew way more than Marco would've liked her to know about how pricey jewels were on earth. A necklace like this, just for her? She had never gotten a gift this special and thoughtful from anyone she had ever known. Nothing could ruin her day now. Nothing at all-

"Phew! I'm so glad you weren't made about me eating that last Poptart!" Marco laughed in relief.

Star froze. "What?" she whispered deathly quiet.

Unfortunately for Marco, he did not pick up on her tone. "Yeah I thought you were going to be angry at me for eating your last poptart by accident! The boxes looked the same so I accidentally switched my empty box with yours! Funny righ...t?"

Marco paled as he looked at Star's face. Something told him that maybe she hadn't know about the poptart yet.

Me and my big mouth Marco thought.

"Marco!" Star raised her voice as she slowly approached him.

"I'M SORRY!" Marco screamed before running away towards the stairs. However, this time, he didn't make it very far. Star pounced on him again before he could even reach the first set of stairs and ended up in the same position they were in a few minutes ago, her sitting on top of his chest with Marco struggling to get out from underneath her.

"Wh-what are you going to do with me?!" Marco asked fearfully as he eyed the wand currently in Star's grasp.

Star stared down at the boy with a sly grin. She still needed to thank him for the necklace, but punish him for eating the last poptart. And she had the perfect idea in mind.

"You're in for it now Marco!" she giggled as she slowly leaned towards him.

Marco, still fearing the wrath of Star, closed his eyes and prayed that whatever pain she was going to inflict on him would be over quickly.

The feeling that came however, was not pain, yet the effects were far worse.

Marco felt something on his cheek and snapped his eyes open to see Star kissing him on the cheek.

"St-St-StArRRR?!" his voice cracked ending in a high pitched scream. It his bugged out of his head. There was no way Star, his best friend who was also a princess he had thought was pretty for a while now, was kissing him on the cheek for an extended amount of time.

"Be quiet," Star mumbled against his cheek. She grabbed his face and turned it and started raining little kisses all over his cheeks.

Marco tried to talk but was effectively silenced by each little kiss Star placed on his cheek. Marco might as well have died right there and then. Nothing he had ever experienced in life had ever been quite so, sweet. His eyes were staring at the girl in front of him, completely disbelieving of what was happening. He was literally in a dark living room, laying down, trapped underneath a princess as she kissed his cheeks multiple times. That was questionable in more ways than one.

And yet, there was an idiotic grin plastered on his face and butterflies erupting in his stomach as he continued to let Star do whatever it was she was doing. There was no denying he was fully enjoying it. And he wasn't the only one. Star was way too happy with kissing him on the cheek; more than she would like to admit. She wouldn't mind doing this for a while.

After 10 full minutes of Star kissing his cheek, she finally decided it was time to stop and pulled away from Marco. She got off him and stood up, examining her handiwork. She giggled in delight as she saw Marco, completely paralyzed on the floor looking like he had just basked in heaven itself, while muttering to himself phrases like, "Best day ever" or "Totally worth it".

Star smiled and decided to head back to her room and leave the boy in a daze for a little while to think about what had just happened. She was planning to create the best necklace holder in existence just for Marco's gift. She would also day dream what it would be like to date Marco that night but she decided she probably will never tell a living soul that other than Marco if they, when they start to date.

For the rest of that night, Marco would just lie on the floor content with life. Gratitude from Star? Great! Hugs from Star? To him, more comfortable than a pillow. But a kiss from Star? To him, that was unreal. It was heaven.

Bonus:

"Starrr," Marco whined as he looked around. People were looking at them weird and whispering as Star skipped down the halls of Echo Creek Academy proudly displaying her necklace with "Star&Marco" engraved on it. "Do you really have to wear it in school?" he whispered nervously.

Star turned and giggled as she saw Marco's face. "You bet! I'm going to wear this-" she stopped and took a step towards him with a sly smile on her face. "Every. Single. Day," she finished.

"Erggg," Marco whined in fake annoyance while a smile threatened to spill on his face. "Just don't shove it in people's faces too much ok?"

Star knew he was secretly proud of the necklace and smiled mischievously. "I'll try not to; no promises though!"

Marco rolled his eyes. "I guess there's nothing I can do," he shrugged with a grin on his face. "Anyways, I got to get to class, see you later Star!" Marco told her as he walked off in another direction.

"Byee Marco!" Star waved to him from a distance. Once he was out of sight, she fiddled with the necklace around her neck.

I wonder when he'll ask me out? Star thought as she skipped to her next class.

Author's Notes: My need for Starco trash increases every day the hiatus until season 2 goes on. Well hope you enjoyed that little fan fiction! The bonus was just something last minute I came up with and thought it would be cool to add it into the story lol. Well this whole idea was originally supposed to be shorter and simpler with Star just getting angry at him for eating her last pop tart, but then I saw a submission from svtfoeheadcannons about the idea where Marco is kind of shocked that the day Star came to Earth was her birthday and he never got her a present and I thought it would go well with this idea if I mixed it in. Credits to the blog and whoever that guy who submitted to it was for the idea of Marco getting Star a present.

Also, I plan to update Faking It, Until You Realize, and It's Hard to be in Love With Your Rival in that order soon followed by probably another one shot to this collection. It's the weekend so I'll probably have some time to write more stuff.

Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed and thanks for all the wonderful reviews! Glad you enjoy these stories! Well, I'll see you guys later! Peace!
