Author's Notes: Hey guys! Here's the one shot I promised I would be putting up this weekend. This one came to me after watching a scene from some anime I somehow came across after scrolling through a bunch of youtube videos. Careful, this one is pretty sad, so bear with me.
Enjoy the fic!
The day started well enough. Star and Marco getting up and early, eating breakfast, and fighting Ludo's monsters before heading off to school. You know, the usual.
That was until Marco overheard something at school. Something that made his heart almost stop completely.
It was lunch time and Star had announced she was going to the bathroom after she finished eating. Not long after, Marco was just casually walking towards the trashcan beside the exit to the lunchroom to throw his trash away until he heard a conversation going on outside. He instantly recognized it as Star's voice. Who could she be talking to?
Curious, he quickly dumped his trash away and began to listen in on the conversation. It was quite hard to hear it since the door was blocking most of the sound but Marco was able to manage to catch a few words. He still didn't know quite what was going on until he heard something that instantly filled him with dread.
"Mewni...queen...leave...Earth...forever..."
Marco froze. Star's... leaving? he thought to himself. Time seemed to slow down for a moment. His consciousness blocked out all other sound that was around him until the only thing he could hear was his thoughts.
His mind was blank for a moment as he tried to come to terms with what he heard. That was when the realization of it hit him like a train.
It was finally time. Star was going to be sent back to Mewni to start being trained into becoming a queen. He knew this was inevitable. She was going to leave him here on Earth and go on with her life. Sure, they had spent only a few months here on Earth together, but in that short amount of time, he had grown very attached to her to the point where he couldn't even imagine a day without her in his life. He could barely even remember what his life was like before she came.
He felt like his heart was being ripped apart and an overwhelming sense of dread was engulfing him. He was never going to see her again. As he learned from history class, duties as a queen were very demanding. The only way she would probably be able to visit him was if she was sent on official business, and the chances of that happening were very slim. Star was going to simply disappear from his life.
Suddenly, he was snapped out of his thoughts as he heard a portal open outside the door. She's leaving now?! he panicked. Desperate to talk to Star, he bursted out the lunch room door.
"Star!" he yelled. To his dismay, the portal had just closed and Star was no where to be seen.
Her room, she must have gone to her room! he thought. He started running as fast as he could towards the school exit and bursting out the doors. He didn't even bother being upset that Star didn't at least say goodbye to him first. All that was on his mind was finding her.
Marco needed to see Star again before she left, even if that meant leaving school early. He wasn't sure what he was going to do when he saw Star, but he knew he needed to do something, anything before she left for good.
He ran until his feet hurt all the way to his house. His parents were both at work right now so the only person that should've ben home was Star. Sure enough, he glanced at the window in Star's part of the house and saw that there was lights flashing inside.
"Star," he thought aloud. He dashed inside the house and up the stairs, running like his life depended on it. He heard voices the closer he got to Star's room.
I can't be too late he pleaded as he reached the front of Star's room. Sure, he was nervous about what he would do when he stepped in, but that was the last thing on his mind right then.
Without much forethought, he grabbed the handle and slammed the door open.
"STAR!" he yelled. His fears were confirmed. In the room, a portal to Mewni was open right in the middle of the room. Manfred, one of Star's guards, was standing next to it and on the opposite side was a few luggages that looked like they had just been packed.
And standing in the middle of the room, was Star herself, her back turned to him but slowly turning around to see where the voice came from.
The second Marco saw that open portal, his body acted on itself. Impulsively, his feet started running across the room and before he knew it, just as Star finished turning around, he had tackled her into a hug.
"Don't go," Marco whispered into her ear with a strangled voice as he felt tears threatening to pour out of his eyes. "Please, don't leave me!"
His grip on her tightened even further as he buried his head into her hair, taking in that sweet scent he knew he would never smell again. He clung on for dear life, and was afraid that if he let go, she would disappear.
"Marco?" Star questioned.
"I know when we first met, I was a real jerk to you, but now I can't imagine my life without you here!" Marco confessed as he hugged her even tighter. "The time I've had with you were the best I've ever had and I can never replace it; I can never replace you! So PLEASE!"
Marco let out a horse whisper. "Don't leave..."
There wasn't much thought to what he was saying. He let all of his emotions pour out in that one confession.
Star was quiet for a moment before speaking up. "Um Marco? I'm not leaving. I was just handing my dragon supply kits to Manfred so that my dad can take care of my dragon, Puffy."
"Star," Marco cried out with a strangled voice. "I know that you-heh?"
There was an awkward silence in the room for a few seconds, Manfred standing there nervously as he tried not to get involved. Marco stood there dumbly for a while, letting it all sink in.
"WHAT?!" he screamed, abruptly pulling away from a widely grinning Star, while his own eyes widened comically. "WHAT?! BUT-THE-THE PORTAL AND-THE LUGGAGES-AND YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT LEAVING AND,"
"Wait, where you trying to eavesdrop on my conversation at school?" Star teased him, her eyes glinting in mischief.
His throat went dry. "I-I-"
Star giggled. "My dad was just telling me about Puffy, a dragon I tamed in Mewni when I was small. She's the queen of a group of dragons that I used to play with all the time. He was just telling me how they were leaving their homes to make new ones in a different part of the forest!"
"But-but, what-"
"He said they were going to send someone here to Earth to pickup my dragon supply kits I accidentally brought with me silly!" she laughed as she pointed to her 'luggages'. "They have everything you need to take of Puffy and her group of dragons while they set up their new homes! They really like my kit better than other ones because everything is pink! And they love the color pink!" Star said as she went over to the luggages and them showing him the many strange looking, pink tools inside before closing them and walking back towards him.
"This way, they can all live in their new homes and be happy forever!" Star finished her explanation with a twirl.
Marco stood there in shock, mouth agape as he moved his head slowly from Star, to the luggages. "Wh-What-"
"I think... I'll be going then," Manfred coughed as he picked up the luggages. "I don't want to interrupt whatever's going on here."
"Wait you've got the wrong idea!" Marco yelled. "It's not what it looks like!"
Manfred ignored him as he stepped into the portal. "Wait until the king and queen hear about this," he muttered.
Marco's eyes widened. "HEY! HEAR ABOUT WHAT?! WHAT IS THERE TO HEAR HUH?! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO TELL THEM?! HEY!"
Before he could finish his rant, the portal closed and Manfred was gone. Now him and Star were the only ones left in the room.
"So," Star looked at him with a gleam in her eyes. "'the best moments you've ever had', huh?"
Marco turned red and found it difficult to speak. "I-"
"'I can't imagine my life without you here'?" she quoted as she stepped closer to him.
"That-that was-"
"I can never be replaced?" she smiled widely.
"I-that-" Marco sighed. "...Can we pretend this never happened?"
"Nope!" Star giggled as she engulfed Marco into her own, bone-crushing hug, snuggling her face into his cheek. "I'm not letting this one go ever."
"Ever?" Marco gulped as he returned the hug.
"Ever," Star confirmed happily. "Oh and by the way if you're worried about me leaving, just know that Mewni queens can do whatever they want to while they're in power, even go off adventuring in different dimensions."
Marco's eyes widened as he pulled away from the hug and looked her in the eyes. "Does that mean...?"
Star smiled. "Sorry to say it Marco, but you're stuck with me forever!"
Relief washed over Marco as a grin popped on his face. He realized he would never have to worry about Star leaving him. She was his best friend and he was hers. They were a team, and nothing was going to break that.
"I think I'll be okay with that," Marco laughed.
"But uh," he stopped for a second and put on a sheepish grin. "Can we like, not tell anybody I did that?"
"Aww, why not?" Star fake-pouted.
"Well, it was kind of stupid for me to over react like that," Marco scratched the back of his neck. "I shouldn't have have been eavesdropping in the first place anyway."
Star grinned again. She stood closer to him and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.
"I think it was really sweet," Star said sweetly as she pulled away.
Marco stood there in shock. His cheek was burning where Star had kissed him and he his heart was beating rapidly. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing was coming out other than 'gafwhhhh's and 'wrwrarraw's.
"Silly Marco!" Star laughed. "C'mon! Let's get back to school!"
He nodded dumbly as he let her open a portal to school and drag him inside.
For the rest of the day, there was a smile on his face and felt an overwhelming amount of confidence flood him. He was ecstatic to know that Star wasn't going to leave him anytime soon. The thing he dreaded ever since they became best friends now became nonexistent. It would be him and her, a team until the end.
And so as a team, they went to detention together for skipping school in the middle of the day.
Author's Notes: Lololol. No sad endings for you XD. So yeah, I lied. I just can't find the will to make a fanfiction with a sad ending in this upbeat show nor do I really want to do one. So basically, I was scrolling through youtube videos and somehow came across a scene from some anime called "Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo" (Not sure if I spelled that right). I don't really want to give away what exactly happened in the scene I based this off in the show for anyone who might want to check it out, but I thought it was pretty funny. That was when I realized, this is SO what would happen in SVTFOE so I just had to do this.
Ok so I was able to get around 20 one shot ideas since I posted the last chapter. 20. Man that feels good lol. The more the merrier in my opinion. So I will be posting them all but before Halloween ends, I'm going to try to be posting Halloween one-shot on the day of Halloween. If anyone has any ideas for that, let me know because writing one shots like this is fun.
Anyways, thanks for the reviews and stuff and I'll see you guys later!
