King of Her Heart

The Call

It's Sunday morning; Star's sleep in time. She tosses and turns as a blade of sunlight cuts across her face. Suddenly, her mirror rings, making her jump. She leaps out of bed and looks at the magic mirror that hung on her wall. The words "Incoming call from: Mom" almost made her faint. Quickly, she pushed the diamond shaped button on the side, and answered.

"Good morning, mother." Star said, trying her best to not sound tired.

"Good morning dear. Why are you still in your pajamas? You know what, it's not important. Do you know why I'm calling you, Star?" Queen Moon replied.

"Ummm... you wanted to say hi?" Star said, her voice gradually getting higher as she spoke. Moon looked annoyed.

"Star, dear, your twentieth birthday is next week. You know that by then you are required to have a suitor, right? You can't stay on Earth forever, you know."

Shoot! Star almost forgot about that. She would have to ask Marco soon.

"Yes mom! I remember," she lied. "Besides, I already have someone in mind."

"That's amazing dear! But remember that the rule states that he must be a prince, or at minimum, A Mewman. If not, I will have to pick one for you."

Star forgot that, too! 

"But this is Marco Diaz we're talking about," she thought. "They love him! I'm pretty sure she will make an exception."

"Of course, mom! In fact, I'll bring him over on Friday and introduce him to you and daddy. How does that sound?"

"It sounds lovely, dear. I have to go now. Love you!" Moon exclaimed.

"I love you, too mom. Bye!" Star smiled as she hung up. She looked at her clock while combing her long, blonde hair with her fingers. It read 10:37. "Might as well get up for the day. Maybe see if Marco wants to go to the park, I could ask him to marry me there,-" her thoughts were interrupted by the smell of bacon. She followed the smell down to the kitchen, were Marco was setting two plates of bacon, eggs, and pancakes with rivers of syrup on top on the table. He was humming a "Love Sentence" song to himself. He looked up, his dark brown eyes meeting the glittering blue eyes that belonged to Star. He takes off his hat and apron before engulfing his girlfriend in an embrace. 

"Good morning, Starshine." (check out KPRS4ever's story)

Star mumbles something that sounds like "gud morning" in response. They hug for a little while before breaking apart and sharing a quick kiss.

"What's all this?" Star motions to the food.

"What, I can't treat my girlfriend?" Marco smiles coyly.

"No, you most certainly can!" Star laughs as she sits down. "Where are your parents?" She asks in between bites.

"Oh, they took Mariposa out for the day." Marco responded. They continue to eat and laugh until they are stuffed. As Star clears her plate, she asked, "Hey, want to head to the park later?"
