Author's Notes: Hey guys! Sorry about not updating for a while. School's been eating away at me lol. I still have a bunch of one shot ideas I want to do and other stories I want to work on but no promises that I'll be updating again soon because of all the stuff I have to do. Anyways, here's one I came up with randomly when checking my phone. Enjoy!
Allison sighed in annoyance as she stared at her magic mirror. She had broken up with her most recent boyfriend, Prince Astral, a few days ago after she realized he cared more about his prized collection of magical swords more than her. She looked at her list of ex-boyfriends on her mirror and scowled.
"Mirror, delete all ex's," she commanded angrily. She couldn't take it anymore. All of her past boyfriends were all selfish, greedy jerks that didn't really care about her. It was a price to pay for being one of the most well known princesses in the multiverse.
Allison was the princess of Juels, one of the wealthiest dimensions in all the galaxy. Every mine and cave was literally overflowing the the most precious rocks. They were so rich because of this, that having a house the size of a mansion was considered to be poor while the rich lived in massive castles scattered around the dimension. Being the princess of such wealth, made her one of the most popular princesses in the universe. Not to mention that many people in her dimension regarded her as absolutely stunning, her blonde hair, sense of fashion, and bright green eyes attracting many suitors. She wasn't very happy, however. Even with all that money and all the suitors, she still couldn't find the one.
"Why can't I be like one of those princesses in those fairytales?" she complained as she flopped on her bed. When she was little, she had always loved the stories of a knight in shining armor that her parents told her coming in and saving the princess at the time of her distress. Just once, she would like something like that to happen to her. The closest she ever got was when she was grabbed by a giant rock monster in front of one of her boyfriends at the time but instead of helping her, he ran away screaming like a little girl, in which the royal guard had to come and rescue her.
"Just once, I'd like to find someone who'll be my prince charming," she sighed. She stared at the ceiling for a few minutes, lost in her thoughts about what she should do next. Suddenly, she heard a commotion coming from the main hall of the castle.
"Ugh, what are they doing over there?" she grumbled.
She took one of the nearby pillows and covered her ears, hoping to drown the noise of a bunch of people shouting, but to no avail.
"AGH! Can't they just be quiet for a few moments?!" she angrily muttered as she walked towards her door. She walked out and purposely made her way towards the main hall, determined to teach whoever was causing such a noise a thing or two about being quiet.
She finally found the door leading into the main hall, the shouting from the other side now sounding like people were panicking for some reason. Whatever the case, she was still annoyed.
She forcefully threw open the door and placed a hand on her hips. "Can you guys pleas be quiet for one-AHHHH!"
Almost immediately, she was lifted away from her spot by a giant, rocky hand.
"AHHH!" she screamed as she stared at the rock golem that had somehow entered into the castle. She glanced at her surroundings and saw a giant hole in the entrance where the golem must've came noise she had been hearing were people screaming and running around calling for the Royal Guards to come and help. The king and queen had went to fetch the elite guards who had been sent on a mission somewhere else in the village, leaving the other royals to try and hold off the golem.
She struggled against the golem's grip, but she couldn't shake him. His grip was too strong. The massive 15 foot tall golem brought the princess up to his eyes and looked at her with evil intent in it's eyes. Allison closed her eyes and prayed for a miracle.
Help, help, help! she thought as she squeezed her eyes even tighter. She really hoped this wasn't going to end, at the hands of a random golem that somehow ended up at the entrance hall of the castle.
Suddenly, she heard a massive shout of pain come from the golem. It's grip lessened and the shouting of the people around her also lessened every second as they stared in awe at something that came out from behind it.
She felt herself falling; too scared to open her eyes as she braced herself for the pain that was soon to come. But, she felt none.
She felt herself land softly into a pair of strong arms, which felt very comfortable as it was covered by a soft, length of fabric. She slowly peeked her eyes open, confused as to what was happening. One moment she was screaming in the hands of a golem, and the next moment she was in the arms of someone.
Her eyes met the gaze of a boy, about the same age as she was. He had brown hair, chocolate eyes, and was wearing some sort of comfortable red hoodie that she didn't recognize in her dimension.
She almost lost her breath as she stared up dreamily at him. Sunlight was radiating from behind him amplifying the heavenly moment that she was seeing. Sweat perspired from his forehead as he held on to her bridal style. He didn't look like a prince or any form of royalty, but she didn't care. It was like her wish had come true, a knight in shining armor (without any real armor) coming to her rescue.
"Are you okay?" he asked as he gently put her down, much to her dismay but still a little too dazed to react.
"Y-yeah," she said, flustered. He's pretty cute she thought.
He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "Sorry about the golem-thing. It might've been because me and my friend were exploring these ruins, and we touched this button, and the thing went on a rampage, and-"
"No, no it's fine," she said dismissively as she continued to take in all his features. Could he be... the one? she thought in excitement. It was the first time she had ever been rescued like this by a mysterious hero and she felt butterflies erupt in her stomach. His demeanor was a little bit nervous, which made her realize that he wasn't going to be like one of those over confident jerks that always courted her. He was just like what the fairy tales she had heard when she was little had described, strong, humble, and sweet.
He stood there awkwardly rubbing his arm, trying to avoid the intense gaze that Allison was giving him. He didn't know why she was so quiet and looking at him so intense like that, but it made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Ok, uh, well I got to get going. My friend's waiting for me," he said to the still quiet princess. He turned away and started walking towards the exit.
Allison was snapped out of her daze as she realized that he had to leave. "W-wait!" she called out to him.
He turned around and looked at her with nervous expression. "Yeah?"
She bit her lip and put up a small smile. "Th-thanks for saving me!" she said quickly.
He returned the smile with a small one of his own. "No problem, I mean it was my-"
"CanIHaveYourNumberAndAddressAndPleaseMarryMe?" Allison interrupted him.
The boy blinked, not able to decipher what she had said in that sentence. "What?"
"I mean," she coughed and regained her composure. "Can I have your name please?"
"-my dear hero?" she added for some effect.
The boy gave it some thought, then shrugged. Why not? he thought.
"Uh, sure. I'm Marco. Marco Diaz," he said
Allison looked at him dreamily. "Marco, Marco Diaz," she repeated to herself, ingraining the name into her memory
"Yep... that's me. Yep, I'm-I'm Marco," he said uncertainly, completely oblivious to why the princess was acting so strange.
Allison gave a heartfelt sigh. "Well thank you Marco," she said sweetly. "I'll always remember you for this."
Hopefully not Marco thought glancing around at the destruction the golem had caused. He really didn't want to take the blame for this.
"Well ok then. Uh, bye!" he said to her as he raced his way out of the castle towards another certain blonde princess that was waiting for him in the middle of the village.
Boy, was that awkward he thought to himself.
Meanwhile, Allison had her hands clasped together and her head was leaning on them as she looked at the spot Marco had left.
"Marco," she sighed dreamily. She turned around to face the servants who were watching. "I want EVERYONE in this room to research Marco Diaz and find his dimension! I think I found my future king!"
The servants, though a little unsure of how this would turn out, obeyed their orders and swiftly went to find out where Marco was living.
A bright smile graced Allison's face. She couldn't wait to see him again. This was definitely going to be different from her previous relationships.
She heard chariots and many footsteps quickly approaching the broken entrance of the castle. She found her mother and father leading the royal guard into the main hall, confused as to why there was no golem.
"Honey, where's the golem?" the queen asked.
The princess wore bright eyes and let out another dreamy sigh. "Marco," she murmured happily as she skipped towards her room.
The king and queen looked at each other in confusion.
"Whose Marco?" the said to each other.
Time Skip
"You're definitely ready Star," Marco said as he gently put his hand on his best friend's shoulder.
Star bit her lip anxiously as she took a glance Oskar who was only a few desks away from where she was sitting. They were currently in art class and Star had wanted to work with Oskar for a mini project students had to complete in class today.
"You sure Marco?" Star bit her wand nervously. "How does my hair look? What should I say? What if I'm bad at this art thing and doesn't want to be my partner?!" she panicked.
"Nah, Star you're fine! He'll definitely be your partner," he said reassuringly.
Star gave him a small smile. "Thanks Marco. But what about you? Are you going to be fine? I mean, I don't want to leave you alone or anything," she asked.
Marco laughed. "Star it's fine! I'll find someone else to be paired up with. Now go over there!"
Star giggled. "Ok, ok," she said as she made her way over to Oskar.
Marco stared at his friend in approval as he watched her talk to Oskar then excitedly take a seat next to him. He smiled at her accomplishment then realized something.
He looked around the room and to his horror, there were no available partners left.
Oh no he thought. There was an uneven amount of people and now he would be the one to awkwardly ask around to join some other group. He didn't want to be a third wheel to Oskar and Star's group, and he didn't really want to join any of the other groups. Things were not looking so great for him.
There has to be someone else he thought desperately. Maybe there was someone he forgot that was in the bathroom, or maybe he just didn't count them all correctly, or maybe-
His thoughts were interrupted as principal Skeeves walked in with his chin held high. Everyone quieted down for a moment as the principal stood in front of the class and called for attention.
"Everyone!" he announced. "We have a new student that will be joining you today."
Marco's eyes lit up. A new student? That's PERFECT! Now I won't be partnerless! Marco let out a breath of relief.
The principal gestured to the door. Who came in, well, no one expected.
It was a blonde haired girl with a puffy princess dress who walked in with her head held high and had a perfect princess posture. After spending a lot of time with Star, he never really thought about what being a princess actually meant. He was so used to Star's adventurous, fun attitude, that he had forgotten that princesses were expected to act all high and proper.
He looked around, and he saw his classmates were staring at her in awe. Most guys were practically drooling and most girls were murmuring about how pretty she was. Marco squinted in confusion. Sure, the new girl didn't look that bad, but why was everyone practically worshipping her? They didn't even get to know her yet! Marco just didn't get it.
The girl stood in front of the class and took a small bow. "It's a pleasure to meet you all," she said politely.
Principal Skeeves smiled. "This is Allison," he said to the class. "She is the princess of Juels and her family paid a very sizable amount to get her to this school so you all better be nice to her or else."
Marco rolled his eyes. Principal Skeeves was too easy to persuade with the right amount of money.
Allison looked up at the class and looked around the room. She seemed to be looking for someone.
Wait a minute Marco thought. He looked at her and felt like he had seen her from somewhere before. He tried to recall his memories of previous princesses other than Star that he had met in previous adventures.
She looks really familiar he thought trying to rack his brain to figuring out who she was.
"Ms. Jenkins," Skeeves said to the art teacher who had made her way from the back of the classroom to the front. "I'll be leaving you with her now. I have... things to buy- I mean do," he said as he walked out of the room.
Ms. Jenkins nodded and turned to Allison. "Ok well, Allison, you can-"
Allison ignored Ms. Jenkins as soon as she layer her eyes upon a certain someone. It was about the same time, Marco realized who she was.
Uh oh Marco thought as he caught the new kid staring at her. He recognized her as the princess he saved from a golem a few days ago. Star and him had gone to Juels to explore the caves for secret treasures and Star just had to touch the shiny object which screamed 'Do not touch!' resulting in a golem being set loose upon the kingdom. Marco chased it down himself while Star tried to calm down the panicking citizens where he ran into the princess of Juels, the same one that was in his classroom right now, staring at him.
"-Ok Allison," Ms. Jenkins started. "Why don't you pair up with-"
"Us!" rang a guys voice as he gestured to his group of two. There's always room of another!"
"No, us!" yelled a girl's voice. "We're way better hosts than you guys!"
The class erupted in arguments to whoever should be her partner, but Allison didn't care. She finally found who she was looking for.
"MARCO!" Allison yelled out happily as she took sight of him. The class was stunned by the sudden outburst and turned towards the confused boy.
Marco didn't know how to respond and was really nervous to why everyone in the room started to stare at him. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat as he turned to greet the new girl.
"H-hi," Marco squeaked out. He took a glance at Star. Due to her expression, she seemed to know as little as he did right now.
Allison suddenly broke into a dash, running straight towards him.
Marco's eyes widened. "Uh, What are you-"
Allison tackled him into a hug with a happy smile. "I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH, MY FUTURE KING!" she sang.
... future... king?!
Marco almost fainted as the whole classroom broke into mayhem. He gulped.
What did I get myself into?
Star's view
What Star had been waiting for since... yesterday... was finally coming true. She giddily sat next to Oskar and helped him paint on their project. It didn't really matter that he wasn't talking at all, just that she finally got to spend some quality time with her crush.
She had a nervous smile on her face as she stared at Oskar's completely stoic face. She reminded herself to thank Marco when she had a chance.
Which reminds me... Star thought. She turned over her shoulder to glance at Marco from across the room. Thought he said he would find a partner, he was sitting there by himself, comedically squirming in his seat and looking around the room for a potential partner.
She couldn't help but think that maybe this wasn't the best idea. She was super nervous around Oskar and she couldn't really tell what mood he was in since he hadn't said anything since she came over and asked to be his partner. Plus, Marco wasn't having much fun sitting there alone.
...But then again, this was like a once in a lifetime opportunity! Is it wrong to just pass this up-
She was bursted out of her thoughts as she heard the principal announce a new student to the class. Her eyes brightened up as she turned to give whoever it was her full attention. She couldn't help but want to make new friends with as many people as possible.
She was caught off guard however, when she saw who came in. She recognized her from all those Mewni newspapers and magazines. That was Allison, one of the most well known princesses in the universe. She was the talk of everyone from time to time and she was known to have many suitors. But something wasn't right.
What's she doing here? Star thought. She put a finger to her chin to ponder the thought for a few moments then shook it off. Ah, who cares?! Maybe I can be friends with her! she thought excitedly. They were both princesses, after all. That was one thing they had in common. Maybe she could bring it up and she would want to be friends with her!
Her thoughts were halted as she heard the new girl speak up and yell something she totally did not expect.
"MARCO!" Allison yelled.
Star froze. Huh?
She quickly turned to Marco, who was sitting there looking as confused as she was. What the? How did she know his name? No offense to Marco, but she's always busy talking to some high nobel or something.
She continued to watch the situation, unsure of what she thought of it. That is, until Allison ran up to him and engulfed him into a hug.
"I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH, MY FUTURE KING!" Star heard Allison say.
Star's mouth dropped open. The class erupted into a series of fits and screams, pointing at Marco like he had just committed a crime.
"Did she just call him... 'my future king'?" Star responded, dazed.
Her whole body went numb as she watched Allison... cozy up to Marco. Her stomach dropped slightly when she noticed that Marco was blushing and trying to get her off... kind of like when she hugged him!
"Uh, dude?"
Star whipped her head around to see Oskar looking at her with a bored expression.
"Are you gonna, like, help me with this?" he said pointing to the painting they were working on.
"Oh!" Star exclaimed. "Sorry about that! I was just-"
"C'mon Marco! Just one little kiss! I won't bite!" Star heard Allison say.
Star quickly turned back around to see Allison teasing Marco about a kiss while embarrassing Marco all the more as he was now the center of attention.
Star normally would be eager for a chance to be making a new friend, especially since Allison was the princess of Juels. But something (Try to guess) about her, made her feel very... irritated.
She unknowingly gripped her wand tighter as she stared at the new girl cuddling up with her best friend. She can't hug him and embarrass him like that! That's MY job! she fumed.
She turned around quickly and addressed Oskar. "Sorry Oskar, but I got to go and, um, help my friend really quick," she said as she scampered off towards Marco and Allison.
Oskar merely shrugged and continued to paint.
Meanwhile, Marco was trying to melt into his chair, away from the new girl who just wouldn't let go of his neck. A bunch of his classmates surrounded the two, asking questions about their 'relationship' and how they met.
"-And then he gazed into my eyes and I knew it was love at first sight!" Allison sighed as she recalled the moment she first saw him.
"AWWW!" Half the class cooed.
Marco fidgeted in his seat. "Uh, all I did was-"
"Aw! He's so humble!" Allison cooed. "Don't be so generous Marco! You were very brave when you saved me!"
"But, wasn't I the one who released the-"
"Hi guys!" exclaimed a peppy, familiar voice from side.
Marco turned his head to come face to face with Star. She had a bright smile on her face, but to him it seemed kind of... forced. But that suspicion was obviously ridiculous. He couldn't think of any possible reason why she would act like that anyway, so it must've been a genuine smile.
"Oh hey Star," he said casually, forgetting about the other princess clinging onto him.
Allison snapped her head towards Star and squinted her eyes. "Who are you?" she said suspiciously.
"Oh, I'm Star, the princess of Mewni and Marco's best friend," she said emphasizing 'best friend'.
Allison eyes widened. "Best friend?"
Star continued on giving her forced smile. "Oh yeah, we're the BEST of BESTIES. Now if you'll excuse us," she said grabbing hold of his arm and tugging him off the chair and out of Allison's arms as she wrapped her own arms around his arm. "We have to go finish the art project that's due today."
Marco gave Star an inquisitive look. "But- weren't you working with-"
"Haha, very funny Marco!" she said, slapping a hand over his mouth. "You always know how to make the best jokes!"
Allison's jaw dropped. She narrowed her eyes at Star. "Whoa, whoa, WHOA. Hold on a MINUTE! You can't just take my future husband away from me! We have a lot to talk about!"
Star cringed at the words 'future husband'. Who does she think she is, declaring my Mar- I mean, Marco her 'husband'?! she thought angrily.
"Who said he was automatically your husband?" Star shouted.
"Me of course!" Allison yelled back as she stood up and put her hands on her hips. "I'm the princess of Juels and I declare that he's my future husband!"
"Well, I'm the princess of Mewni and as his best friend, I don't approve!" Star stood firm, gripping Marco's arm tighter.
Allison was fuming mad. She took out some sort of remote and pressed a button. Almost instantly, 5 heavily armored guards jumped out of portals that appeared nearby, much to the surprise of the classroom. Marco gave Star a nervous look but Star's gaze remained stern and she would not let go of his arm.
These are some of our elite Royal Guards," Allison explained with a sly smile. "They are very skilled in battle."
The guards drew there swords and maces and seemed to loom over everyone with completely stoic faces. Marco was practically shaking in his shoes but Star looked like she was about to pull her wand and send them a one way ticket back to their own dimension.
"Now here's the deal," Allison started. She turned and gave a sweet smile to Marco. "Marco, my dear. Go on a date with me right now, and I won't send these guards to deal with this... girl. Normally, I would just send them off on her, but since she's your, um, best friend," she said with a hint of distaste. "I'll make an exception and forgive her rudeness. What do you say?"
Star's wand was starting to glow in her hands. No way was she going to just let this random princess go ahead and just force Marco to go on a date. Who does she think she is? Future husband, yeah right. Like I'l let that happen Star thought determinedly.
Star took a deep breath. "I hope your ready for a fight-"
"I'll do it," Marco said confidently.
Star's eyes went wide as she turned to Marco, who was looking at Allison like she was the most normal thing he had seen today.
A smile grew on Allison's face. "Good!" she said while waving at the guards to stand down. "I knew you'd choose the right choice, my sweet prince!"
Star turned and grabbed Marco's shoulders, forcing him to look straight at her.
Marco gave her a confused look. "What?"
"You know what!" Star scolded him. "You can't go on a d-d-date with her! She isn't even the right person for you!"
"She only wants one date," Marco shrugged. "How bad could it be?"
"But that's not just it!" Star protested. "She wants to MARRY you! She wants you to be her KING!"
"Well, yeah she's a bit obsessed," Marco admitted. "But maybe she'll stop liking me when she sees I'm not anything like a prince."
"But-" Star pouted. "You're my prince..." she muttered softly.
She froze and covered her mouth. What the- where did that come from?! she thought.
"Huh? Did you say something Star?" Marco said.
"It-it was nothing!" Star said quickly. "Anyways, this is a really bad idea. She's going to kidnap you or she's going to-"
"Star, I can take care of myself," Marco said flatly. "You can stop worrying about me. I'll be fine."
"But, what am I supposed to do then!" she said flailing her arms in the air. "You can't leave me here and go off on some date!"
Marco raised his eyebrow. "Weren't you working on the project with Oskar? Just go talk to him. I know you've been waiting for this for a while now."
Star was caught by surprise. She completely forgot about Oskar. "Oh- y-yeah, right." Star glanced back to see Oskar boringly draw circles on the piece of paper and splattering some paint in the middle every now and then. Though she was excited to talk to him before art class, right now she wanted to stick to Marco's side. Just to be sure he's, um, safe! she thought.
She felt a gentle push from behind her as Marco moved her in Oskar's direction. He gave her a thumbs up. "Good luck Star," he said before turning around and walking towards Allison.
Star's throat went dry. She numbly sat down on the seat across from Oskar while she watched Allison giddily lock arms with Marco. She couldn't see Marco's expression from her view but whatever it was, it didn't look like it was affecting Allison's mood in the slightest. The two walked out of the classroom and closed the door while the royal guards cutting a portal back to their dimension and going in.
"Uh, dude are you going to help me with this thing or what?" Oskar said.
Star turned to face him pointing down at the painting. She forced a smile as she did her best not to think about Marco and Allison's date. She quickly grabbed a paintbrush and started adding paint to the picture while letting her thoughts wander.
Stupid princess of Juels, thinking she can just take Marco on a date whenever she wants she thought angrily as she smeared the paint on the paper. Who does she think she is? Threatening Marco like that to force him on a date! I'll teach her a thing or two about being nice!
She grumbled as she gripped the paintbrush even tighter. Oskar noticed this and looked up with a bored expression. "You're going to break the paintbrush," he said absentmindedly before continuing to work. Star noticed the brush in her hand and it seemed to be cracking.
"Oh!" she exclaimed, rubbing the back of her head in embarrassment. "Sorry!"
She lessened the grip on the brush and continued to work on the project, and started to think about why she was acting so strange. Why am I getting so worked up anyway? she thought to herself. It's like Marco said, it's one date. I shouldn't be so annoyed at it. I mean, why would I be annoyed?! It's not like I l-like him or anything! It's probably because I'm too protective. Yeah, that's it. Marco's safety is just catching on to me. I really got to loosen up and-
"Weren't they the cutest?!" exclaimed a girl in the classroom. "I can definitely tell they're in love!"
Star's eye twitched but she continued to pain with a smile on.
"Yeah, wonder how Marco pulled it off," a guy in the classroom wondered aloud. "He got a super rich princess to fall in love with him without even trying!"
Star's grip on her paintbrush tightened a considerable amount, her smile becoming harder and harder to maintain.
"Allison said that they were going to get married soon and have one great, happy family!" another girl exclaimed.
The paintbrush was now pressing very hard on the paper, almost tearing it apart. Star's hand was spazzing out and the paintbrush was starting to crack.
"I heard they're going to have four kids, live in the biggest castle in her dimension, have the kids visit their grandparents time to time, and-"
Star's paintbrush snapped in half as she clenched her fist tightly. Everyone turned to her, and were scared when they saw she was radiating some dark vibes.
"Uh Star, are you okay?" asked some guy.
Star didn't answer and stood up. "FERGUSON! ALFONSO! FOLLOW ME!" she ordered.
Said boys were sitting at a table working on the painting project. They looked up and pointed at the drawing. "But Star, we're not finished y-"
They quickly shut their mouths as they saw the very bad mood star was in. She didn't look like she was messing around right now. They got up their seats and followed her outside the door.
She placed her hand on her hips and looked at them sternly. "We are going to spy on Marco and Allison's 'date'. She's up to something and I know it!"
Ferguson and Alfonso glanced at each other with a bit of worry. "Star that's ridiculous. Allison just wanted to go on a date with Marco, that's all. It'd be pretty bad for her reputation if she was part of an evil plan or something," Alfonso said.
"But I'm telling you guys! We need to make sure Marco's okay!" Star waved her hands frantically.
"Marco's totally fine," Ferguson said nonchalantly. "He can handle himself. Besides, why do you care so much? So what if they eventually get married-"
Star brought her wand up to Ferguson's face and it started glowing. Ferguson looked at the wand fearfully and backed up. "What was that all about-"
His eyes widened and a sly smile crossed his face. "Don't tell me you're actually jealous of Allison and you secretly like Marco."
She dropped the wand to her side and gasped. "What?! That's ridiculous! I'm not jealous!"
"Oh yeah? Why do you want to spy on them then?" Ferguson smirked.
"B-because I want to make sure Marco's safe, that's all!" Star stuttered.
Ferguson snickered and turned to Alfonso. "She's totally jealous," he said. Alfonso nodded in agreement.
"Ugh!" Star complained. "Can you guys stop talking about this silly stuff for one second and focus?! Marco could be in trouble!"
"Whatever you say," Ferguson and Alfonso snickered.
Star stared daggers at them, which shut them up. "Now listen, here's then plan..."
Time Skip
Star poked her head out of some bushes. She took out a pair of binoculars and scanned the area with them. She spotted Allison and Marco, heading into an ice cream parlor. She got her walkie talkie out.
"Little duck, this is Magical Unicorn. The targets are in the ice cream shop. I repeat, the targets are in the ice cream shop!" Star said urgently.
"Copy that Magical Unicorn," Ferguson said from a different bush. "Glitter Swan, do you have a visual on the targets?"
"Yeah, I see them," Alfonso said as he watched Marco and Allison order something from the shop.
"Well, what are they doing?!" Star said frantically.
"Well, they're sitting down at a table with the ice cream, and- she's spoon feeding him the ice cream!"
Star's eyes went wide as she pulled out her wand, ready to storm that ice cream parlor.
"Oh wait, Marco's shaking his head at the ice cream and Allison's frowning," Alfonso said.
Star let out a breath of relief and let her wand down. I'm over reacting Star scolded herself. I can't actually be... jealous can I? she said thinking back to Ferguson's comment. She wondered about the possibility that she actually liked Marco, but then scrapped that idea.
They spent the next hour and a half, following the two around town and spying on them, Marco and Allison went to a carnival, a restaurant, and finally took a walk in the park, much to Star's aggravation.
Star propped her elbows on the ground and let her head rest on her hands as she stared at the walkie talkie from behind a bush. She was waiting for Alfonso to report back to her on Allison and Marco's date.
"Hold a minute," Alfonso said through the walkie talkie. "I think they're... GOING TO KISS!"
Star's bored expression turned to one of panic. She scrambled to sit up and snatched the walkie talkie from the ground. "WHAT?!" she screamed.
"OH MY GOSH! SHE OFFERED HIM HER HAND IN MARRIAGE! SHE PULLED OUT AN ENGAGEMENT RING" Ferguson yelled.
Star panicked. N-no way Marco would accept right? He's not that-
"HE'S ACCEPTING IT!" Ferguson shouted the walkie talkie. THEY'RE LEANING IN TO KISS!
Star's heart beat increased rapidly. She grabbed her wand and jumped out of her hiding spot and raced to where she thought Allison and Marco were. She turned a corner to see Allison and Marco... just standing there. Allison had a annoyed face on and her arms were crossed. Marco was rubbing the back of his head nervously. They both saw Star.
"Star?" Marco said. "What are you doing here?"
"Star Butterfly!" announced Alison as she walked up to her, glaring daggers at her. "I hope you have a wonderful day," she said angrily as she opened a portal and jumped through. Star looked at where Allison once stood in surprise. Of all the things to happen... she did not expect that. Allison just... left. Poof. Gone.
"Star?"
She turned around to come face to face with Marco. She felt her face heating up as she looked up at him. She never felt like this before, but she just couldn't calm the butterflies in her stomach.
"Marco, what happened? Where's the engagement ring?" Star said in awe.
Marco looked at her weirdly. "Engagement ring? What?"
"Didn't she give you an engagement ring?" she asked quizzically. Chuckles suddenly came out of the walkie talkie in her pocket. She quickly pulled it out.
"Sorry Star," Ferguson and Alfonso laughed so hard they could barely even talk. "We-we HAHA couldn't h-help it! HAHA!"
Star fumed and blushed a deep red at the walkie talkie. Those two she thought angrily.
"Is that Ferguson and Alfonso?" Marco asked suspiciously. "Star, what's going on?"
At this point, Star felt like her head was going to explode. It had been a long, long day.
"What do you mean nothing's going on?! Nothing's going on! I wasn't stalking you and you can't prove it!" Star shouted.
"You were stalking me?" Marco said.
"UGH!" Star stomped on the ground. "Just tell me what happened on your 'date' with Allison!"
Marco opened his mouth to ask another question but Star quickly placed a finger on his lips. "Nope! No questions until you fess up!"
Marco blushed slightly and gently moved Star's hand. "I told her-" he started.
"I knew it!" Star pointed her finger at him accusingly before he could say anything relevant. A sad frown started forming on her face. "You're going to move away with her, and you're going to have four children, and you're going to take you're children to your parents and then-"
Marco placed a hand over Star's mouth, silencing her. Star looked up at him and blushed. His hand felt very soft.
"You done yet?" Marco asked. Star nodded her head up and down.
"Alright then," he said removing his hand. "I told her I wasn't interested."
Star's eyes popped out of her head. "What?"
"Yeah, sure she's probably one of the wealthiest people in the universe, but I don't even know her. Plus, she's kind of bossy. She wouldn't even let me order for myself at the restaurant and threatened to impale me if I didn't eat the food!" he said.
"Really?" Star said. "That's kind of... extreme."
"Yeah," Marco said. "And now she's kind of mad at me and you."
"Me? Why would she be mad at me?" Star questioned.
Marco gave a hearty laugh. "She thinks that you stole me away from her. Ridiculous right? She probably doesn't know about your crush on Oskar!"
Star remained oddly quiet and massaged her forehead. Marco noticed this.
"Uh Star?" he said as he stopped laughing. "You okay?"
"Peachy," she muttered.
Marco raised his eyebrow. "Really? well then, now it's your turn to explain. Why were you stalking me?"
Star looked up at Marco with a stern face, which surprised him. She had been in a oddly bad and weird mood today ever since Allison came, and he couldn't pinpoint why.
"Listen Marco," she complained. "I've been following you guys around all day, because EVERYONE at school thinks you guys are going to get married or whatever!"
"They do?"
"Yeah, they do! And I can't take hearing it anymore because it's annoying!" Star waved her arms in the sky.
Marco grabbed her wrists and pushed them down. "Annoying? It can't be that bad-"
"Oh it's that bad!" Star shouted at him removing her wrists from his grip and grabbing his face.
Marco's eyes widened. "Star, what are you doing?"
"Listen here Marco!" she said as he pulled his face closer to her. "You getting married to her is not acceptable! You want to know why?!"
"Uh, why?" he said dumbly.
"Because," Star said removing one of her hands off his face and pointing to herself. "You're my prince charming! She can go and just find her own!"
Marco was left speechless. His cheeks burned red as he tried to avert his eyes from his best friend who suddenly seemed a lot more beautiful than he had once thought.
"NOPE!" Star said holding his head, forcing him to look towards her. She had a slight blush on her cheeks as she stared at him. "I am getting a huge headache right now Marco. Listen, you're going to look at me straight in the eyes, you're going to kiss me, and you're going to want to do it as much as I want to!"
Star closed her eyes and leaned in, and Marco did not move back or resist. Their lips touched which sent sparks through their bodies. Both of them closed their eyes, and just let it happen, feelings buried deep within them rising to the surfaces. Marco wrapped his arms around Star and patted her blonde hair. Star placed her hands on the back of Marco's head. They both didn't want to let go and they stood there for a few minutes, making sure that their new relationship was fully cemented by the best first kiss ever.
Meanwhile, Ferguson and Alfonso high fives each other as they watched the two through their binoculars. They held a camera containing a photo of Star and Marco's first kiss they had taken a few seconds earlier.
"I knew they'd get together eventually," Alfonso said proudly.
"Time to tell everyone," Ferguson smiled deviously as they raced away from the park.
Author's Notes: Phew! That was a long write for a one shot. I actually feel like I could've spent more time on this and even made it into a different short story, but this is good enough for now I guess. Anyways, thanks for all the support and stuff and I'll see you guys later!
