After a very long visit, Star and Marco tried to get back to their semi-normal lives on Mewni.
Currently, Star and Marco were relaxing in the garden, Star was sitting up, while Marco laid on her lap, but Marco noticed that there was something been was off with Star.
"Hey, Star you okay?" Marco asked
"Yeah, just been thinking about Tom." She said Marco looked at her with a concerned look. "It's just, ever since the ball, his actions have been concerning me a lot actually.
"Why should you care he's a jerk and he hurt you he branded you." He said sitting up.
"I know I know, but… Tom was my friend he made me feel normal until I met you." She said
"Star do you still have feelings for him?" Marco asked Star looked down.
"I don't know, with everything that's been happening I just…" Marco then stops her.
"You know I think your just overthinking things, I mean with the whole marriage thing, Tom's meddling and your family, I think you need a stress reliever." He said as he got up and held out his hand. Star took it and he helped her up.
"What do you have in mind?" She asked.
"A date." He said, "We never really had one so I think this is what we need." He said.
"Okay, but where do you want to go?" She asked
"You still have those scissors?" He asked.
"There in my room, I'll go get them." She said as she hurried off as she got to her room, she looked around and found them on the table as she was about to grab them, she went to her bed and pulled out the picture of her and Tom. She then sat down on the bed and stared at it.
"Oh Tom, what happened to you?" She asked as she thought back to the first time she met the young prince.
-X years ago-
Star was in her room getting ready for the Silver Bell Ball, she was wearing a short dress with a puffy periwinkle blue top and round blue sleeves with lace on the bottoms, a dark blue skirt with a pink covering and white lace on the bottom, and a white ribbon around the waist, and small pink heeled shoes with white knee socks.
Star's hair was up in two side buns with dark blue lace around them, tiny curls over her ears, and a tiny gold tiara with a pink heart in the center. She examed herself in the mirror and sighed, she knew that she would be snubbed and that her father would have to dance with her, not that she minded, but she forced a smile and went out to the ball. As Star entered the ballroom members of various kingdoms of Mewni have come together for the Silver Bell Ball to celebrate the peace between them, including the Butterfly family, the Johansens, the Pony Heads, the Waterfolk, the Pigeons, and others. As Star walked over to the chair she looked around and saw the various Prince and Princess, she notices Pony Head talking away, Star wanted to say hi, but she was kinda nervous having all these eyes on her. She saw her mother walk up
"Kingdoms of Mewni, each year we hold this dance to celebrate the peace between us. Welcome to the Silver Bell Ball." Moon said as she ringed the bell in her hand.
"Look it's that creepy half-breed." On the princess' said, Star looked to her knees and held onto the helm of her dress.
"God, why did she even come here, she's just going to be snubbed like always." Another said
"Let the first dance begin," Moon said as she rings the bell soon one by one the young princes came up to the princesses all but Star. Some of the Kings and Queens were snickering as the time went by everyone has either danced twice or just tired. Star sighed it wasn't the first time this happened and she was sure that this wouldn't be the last, that is until she saw some black boots walk up to her.
"Thanks, Dad, but I don't feel like dancing." She said
"Well If I was your dad I would be offended, I'm not that old." Star looked up to see a pale lilac skin boy wearing a simple black jacket with black pants and shoes, a large black belt with an army green buckle, a white button-up shirt with a protruding collar, a loosely worn black tie.
"Oh sorry, I'm just…"
"Never picked for a dance?" He asked.
"It happens, who wants to be around a half-breed?" Star asked
"Well, I don't mind." He said as he held out his hand, Star took his hand the two started to waltz with each step the two took they left a trail of fire and butterflies with bat wings surrounded them they looked around and were amazed by it as they stopped dancing it disappeared and the two looked into each other's eyes. Star had a noticeable blush as she backed away.
"Um, that was the first time I danced with someone other than my father." She said
"Well, how did I do?" He asked.
"Good, but my dad is just a little better." She said.
"Well looks like I have to try a little harder if you let me." He said. "In case you don't get it I'm trying to ask you out." He said.
"Um sure." She said,
"Tom Lucitor." He said as he holds out his hand.
"Star Butterfly," Star replied as she took his hand. Tom then kissed her hand.
"Until next time my sweet flower." He said as he left leaving Star to hold the back of her hand.
-Now-
Star looked at the photo and sighed as she puts it back she grabs the scissors and heads back to Marco.
-Later-
Marco and Star were back on earth, back at the Diaz resident, Star was sitting in the living room waiting on Marco, as she did Angie waddled in and sat next to Star.
"You seem awfully quiet. Something on your mind?" She asked.
"Nothing it's just, I've had a lot on my mind right now." She said
"Well maybe talking about it would make you feel better." She offered
"I don't know," Star said
"Come on, since your marrying my child that makes me your mother in law, so talk to me." Angie persists.
"Well lately I have been having some thoughts about my ex, long story short we had a falling out and lately he's been persistent and terrorizing me, he even been showing around my castle and the worse part is, I was happy that he was there, but I know that he's… hurt me before, but I don't want to lose him." She said. Angie then grabbed her hands and looked her in the eyes. "Am i wrong for feeling this way?" She asked
"No no, it okay Star, it's understandable and it happens for a lot of people, Marco acted the same way after Jackie's death, he constantly blamed himself, but you showed up and gave him the love and understanding that we been failing to give him." She said,
"but what should I do?"Star asked.
"Let Marco do what you did for him, let him be there for you like you were for him." She said, just then Marco came in with a smile.
"You ready Star?" He asked as he held out her hand, Star took it and they left the house, Star then wrapped herself around his arm.
"Hey, Marco?" She asked Marco looked at her
"Yeah?" He asked
"Thank you for everything." She said, Marco soon broke free and place a hand on her head and starts to rub it.
"Your welcome Star." He said, Star then stops in her tracks.
"Marco, I… I want you to help me forget about Tom." She said.
"Okay, how should I do that?" He asked
"Come to my bedroom… tonight." She said with a blush. Which made Marco blush as well.
"But I said I…" Star then looked at him with puppy dog eyes. "(Sigh) Okay i'll be there tonight." He said. Star smiled as she hugged and kissed him.
"Now come on Star I made reservations." He said as they continued walking.
