Star's family from her mother's side are visiting the royal family to meet the king-to-be.
Marco and Star were sitting at the table laughing like Star's relatives while the current king and Queen were looking at them with worry.
"Hey, why don't we head outside it's such a nice day, too late it go to waste," Star said.
"Huh, so I guess the half-breed does make some good ideas," Heartrude said Star chuckled at his rude joke.
"Oh Uncle Heartrude such a jokester," Star said. The group then got up and the family started to make their way towards the garden, but before Star could follow Marco held her back.
"Um, could you hold back, Princess Star I would like to discuss something with you about the wedding." Marco asked.
"Really I want to talk to you about something as well." She replied.
"Well catch up, you guys enjoy each others company till we return." Star announced as she and Marco entered an empty room.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Both Marco and Star yelled at each.
"Me? I was just dressing to impress, what about you, you shed your skin and got rid of your tail! What's that all about?" He asked.
"That's…" Star then looked away from him. "It's none of your concern." She added
"It is my concern, your my bride everything about you is my concern." He said as he grabbed her shoulders. "As your fiancé, I'm worried about you." He said as he grabbed her chin and made her look at him.
"I'm sorry, but please it's only for a few more minutes and they'll be gone," Star said
"Fine, will you be okay like that?" He asked.
"It's only for a little while, then I'll be back to normal." She said, Marco then kissed her forehead and they shared a hug they soon let go and Star took Marco's hand. "Come on let's get back." She said.
-Outside-
Toffee and Moon were talking with Heartrude and Etheria about the future of the kingdom, mostly it's just to add a segregation policy.
"I don't see why we have to share a table with those dangerous creatures, I get that some actually agreed to peace but I know that some don't want that," Heartude said
"Which is why we incarcerated the one who wishes to do harm, as much as I don't like imprisoning people but if It's to keep the peace I'll do what I must." Toffee said.
"Well said, but if you incarcerate all the monsters then Mewni would be much better." Etheria said.
"We know as you keep saying, Aunt Etheria." Moon sighed.
"Mother. Father sorry for the wait." Star called out as she and Marco returned. With a group of people came with a table and snacks
"So tell me Great Aunt Etheria, what have you been up too?" Star asked
"Well, I've been making sure that our people get proper education and the monster's find… proper work." She said.
"I see and you Heartrude?" Star asked
"I have just been working hard making sure that when… all this fails Aunt Etheira takes over." He said.
"Now now, Heartrude, don't give out too much." She said as the two chuckled.
"Right…" Toffee said
"But enough about us, what you Star how did you meet such a… interesting young man?" Etheira asked.
"I met him while I was on Earth, he was a troubled boy but with our love for each other he got passed it and now we are eng…" Star froze as her eyes shot wide and she held her shoulder.
"Star! What's wrong?!" Toffee said
"He's coming, not now!" Star said, just then Marco noticed the insignia bunning through her dress. Marco then took his cape and placed it on her as he did he balled his fist and looked back to see a pillar of fire spew up from the ground soon came up the chain demon carriage. The doors soon opened and out came a tight red dress wearing Jackie her hair in a ponytail and her cleavage exposed just like last time they saw her and next to her was the black suit wearing Tom.
"Greetings Butterfly Family." Tom said.
"What are you doing here! I forbid you from coming…"
"I invited him." Toffee looked at Eitheira as she interrupted. "I had a feeling that this groom might not live up to the standards, so I invited someone more suitable." She said
"Are you serious, don't you know what this man has done to my child?" Moon yelled.
"Well I know that Star might have been through a lot, but you have to understand we need to keep the bloodline… as pure and royal." Heartude said
"And I completely agree, so Star why don't you just…"
"Don't even complete that sentence." Marco warned as he balled his fist.
"Why not? It's not like some guy from the backwater dimension like earth can take on such a responsibility."
"How would you know!" Marco yelled slamming his hand on the table.
"See, you take offense to such a pathetic comment, but knowing your race it makes senses." Tom said Marco was now getting angry, Star notices some stains appearing on his right sleeve.
"Marco, dear please calm down, you seem to be 'sweating' a lot." Star said hoping that he gets what she was referring to, he looks at himself and saw the stains, Marco then clams down.
"Please excuse me, I need to take care of something." Marco said as he left.
"Oh poo things were getting interesting."Heartrude said. While Marco cleaned himself up, he sighed.
"C'mon Diaz, don't lose control, it only for a few more minutes then they'll be gone." He said to himself. As he left the bathroom he looked out the window and saw the family but more importantly Star looking very uncomfortable, Marco soon returns.
"Oh look here comes the hick." Tom said Marco ignored him as he took his seat next to her, he soon felt a hand on his and looked over at Star who smiled at him and in turn, he smiled at her.
"So Marco how had your training been going?" Heartrude asked
"Training?" Marco asked
"Of course, you need to fluent in any language, be able to lead an army and do what it takes to be a king." He said
"Oh um, not really I kinda have been taking care of Star." He said
"Pathetic." Tom said with a snicker.
"We found that it's too early for Marco to learn about his responsibilities, we want him to get used to his life here on Mewni." He said
"But isn't the wedding happening soon?" Heartrude asked
"That's not happening until the two are sixteen." Moon said
"Really now? Star dear tell me how old are you now?" Eitheira asked
"I'm fourteen," Star answered.
"And you Prince Marco?"
"I'm fourteen as well but i'm doing my best to be a perfect future ruler." He said
"I bet." Tom said. "As for me I have been learning since I was born and If I was chosen I would have made this a much better kingdom." He added.
"Oh, and how would you have done that?" Eitheria asked
"Well, I think that the monsters would be much safer if we just expand our territory and gave the new land to our creature brothers and sisters and while we're at it we can increase the castle and towns defenses.
"So you're going block off monsters from the town by building a wall?" Marco asked
"Hey I just giving what the people want, they don't want such strong creatures that could turn on them, plus don't forget the whole Johansen incident."
"River was under mind control and he had no idea what he was doing!" Toffee yelled.
"Father, please calm down." Star begged.
"Please don't do anything rash dear." Moon added.
"No, Moon I'm tired of this, your family never accepted me or Star, look at her, she in constant pain this bastard tried to rape my daughter, destroy my kingdom and had his slut of a servant try to kill Marco when he went to save her!"
"Look it's fine, Tom is young and he's still learning and he needs to grow up a little more," Heartude said
"And it's not like the half-breed has much of a choices in suitors."
"You know, I think it's time for all of you to go." Toffee said as he got up and left, Moon then got up and escorted her family. Leaving the kids.
"So Star, what do you say…"
"Forget it, Tom, I'm much to busy." She said as she got up and left,
"You know you can't get rid of me your mine!" Tom yelled
"Get back here!" He was about to follow until he was stopped by Marco.
"You can leave now, your still not welcome here." Marco said as he followed Star. Tom balled his fist then he relaxed.
"You know what to do if you want your freedom." Tom said, Jackie then sighs as she and Tom left.
-Later That Night-
Star was in her bedroom sitting on her bed, her scales and tail were back, but she looked at the photo of her and Tom, she sighs.
"What happened to you Tom?" She asked, she then heard a knock on her door.
"Star, can I come in?" Marco asked.
"Yeah come in." She said, Marco soon came in holding some ice cream.
"I always found that ice cream helps when I have bad days." He said as he handed her the cup. "I don't know if you can eat them, but it shouldn't hurt." He said, Star was about to take a bite, but she puts the spoonful down.
"Star are you going to be okay?" He asked.
"I'll be fine Marco, this isn't the first time I've done that." She answered.
"I didn't mean that I meant about your whole situation your family and all that." Marco said
"Oh well, I told you before it's normal for me you tend to get used to it." She said. "That's the best thing about, having a second layer of skin…" Star then started to tear up. "...You can take a lot more punishment." She said with a sad smile. Marco then took her ice cream and puts the cup on the nightstand, Marco then opened his arms and wrapped his arms around her, she then gripped her fiance's shirt as she lets her tears fall. Marco then rubbed her back as she lets her pain out. Marco then pulled her away from him and the two looked at each other. Marco then wiped her tear away and kisses her forehead.
"It's going to be okay." He said Star smiled as they hugged.
-Meanwhile In Forest of Certain Death-
A mysterious figure was looking out towards the butterfly castle, meanwhile, behind him, Tom was standing there with a nervous look.
"What's taking so long to get the princess?" The figure asked
"I'm trying, but she's…"
"Failure is not an option Lucitor! Or should I inform the royal family's about our little deal or should I just take care of that cursed half-breed?" He said
"No Please don't hurt Star!" Tom said. The figure then placed a clawed hand on his shoulder.
"Relax, you'll have her and I'll have my revenge, but if you want to keep that princess of your safe you better have her married to you as soon our she'll be caught in the crossfire." He said as he laughed leaving the young prince to himself as he balled his fist.
"Seth you bastard, I won't let you hurt Star." He said.
