Tomco AU

Ch.3 - The Gala

Marco's Pov

I finish buttoning my shirt and put on the jacket I wore to the Blood Moon Ball. If I was going to keep the fact I'm a human a secret since I'll probably get into deep shit if I don't. I put my mask on then my sombrero and look in the mirror. I still look good in this! I thought posing in front of the mirror. "MARCO!!!" Star yelled. I walked out to find Star waiting for me. Her hair was in a high ponytail and she wore a long poofy blue dress with frills along the collar which was showing her shoulders. "How do I look?!" she asked. I smiled and said, "Perfect." (Me: This is starting to sound like Starco...fuck...) Star's face turned into a huge grin and invited herself into my room. I shook my head quietly giggling to myself and went in after her as I closed the door. "So, when is Tom going to get us?" I ask. If he even bothers to remember that I'm going as well. I thought to myself. "Any minute now!~" Star said tapping an invisible watch. And as if on cue a fiery portal opens in my room and Tom walks through. For some reason, my face heated up a bit. He was wearing a blood-red jacket with a black rim showing pockets and where it ends, the buttoned shirt he wore was a light black and there was one button undone at the top to reveal a small bit of his masculine collar-bone. I also noticed a red rose fully bloomed in his jacket pocket. "Hey, Starship! Hey, Marco!" he greeted snapping me out of my trance. Did I blush at Tom?! I thought shocked that I couldn't stop staring at his collar-bone.

"Ready to go?" he asked. "Y E S!" Star said excitedly jumping through the portal. Tom and I laughed. "Same old Star," he said. "Yep." I agreed. Tom looked back at me then began looking up and down. What was he-? "You look great! Are you wearing the mask so others don't know you're human?" he asked cutting through my thoughts once again. "Uh, yeah. And thanks, you look great too!" I blushed a little. Did Tom Lucitor just compliment me?! That seemed so unlike him. "Come on, we better not leave Star alone. Who knows what trouble she'll cause!" he said with a laugh. I laughed a little with him and followed through the portal. What's wrong with me?

Star's Pov

The ballroom was bright red as the moon's light streamed in. It was so beautiful! There were different creatures from the 7 dimensions and other dimensions. There were Unicorns, Pegasi, and Anicorns! Gremlins, thin and fat but still tiny. Fairies and Pixies all in different colors and beautiful glittery outfits. The dragons shape-shifting into people form so they don't take up too much room. I looked up to see six thrones that were filled with the leaders of each dimension, but there was one that was empty and it was the middle throne. That's probably where the queen of the 7 dimensions will be sitting at. I thought. I saw the buffet table and saw the biggest and fluffiest marshmallows in the universe! I rushed over and began filling my mouth to the brim with them. They were soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tasty!!!!!!!!!

Tom's Pov

Marco and I stepped into the ballroom. I turned to him to see that he was shocked at the size of the room. I chuckled at his reaction and began looking for Star to see her stuffing her face with marshmallows from the Fairies and Pixies dimension. Still the same... I thought as I remembered the times we had when we were still together. I shook my head. No! Don't feel sad! Remember what Zee said, a soulmate stays with you. For better or for worse!  I looked up to see all the rulers sitting in their thrones on a balcony. I also noticed that there was an empty chair in the middle of the six rulers. That must be for Zelia if she'll even sit there. I turned to Marco and told him Star was at the buffet table and that I was going to walk around. He nodded and went off to be with Star. Once he was gone from my side I walked over to the groups of creatures and tried introducing myself to some of them.
