Marco dressed himself in his old suit and donned his skull mask once again. He walked out of his room and knocked on Star's door. He walked in and saw Star in her red blood moon dress.

"A-Are you sure this is a good idea, Star?" he asked her.

"I mean- I don't know. Tom said he wanted to make up for what he did at the last Blood Moon Ball, but I'm not sure we can trust him again..."

"So, he's redoing the whole ball just to apologise? Or was it because everyone said it sucked?"

"I don't know... but he has invited us, and it was pretty fun last time... especially with your...' antics'" she joked.

"yeah yeah..." Marco said, embarrassed.

Marco was still... ashamed of his behaviour during that night.

"Well we better get going if we want to be there on time..." Star said as she rang the crimson bell Tom had given her before.

The demon escalator came up from the ground and the pair jumped in.

...

When they got down, Tom greeted the two. They both knew it was a pretty desperate attempt to get them to forgive him. They didn't fall for it.

"G-Guys!! so good to see you!" He said desperately.

"Hey, TOM," Marco said bluntly.

"Glad you guys could uhm... make it..." He said quietly.

Star simply hooked her arm with Marco's and walked off towards the ballroom

"What a creep..." She whispered.

"Yeah... Imma go and make us some drinks, hopefully, they aren't spiked or anything..." He said tiredly as he unhooked his arm with Star and went toward the table.

As he was pouring some punch, a demon approached him. She was wearing a tight corset, had a long ponytail, and had fair purple skin. She was wearing a white dress which was decorated with nice velvet ribbons and she was wearing a rose in her white hair to top it all off.

"Hello, human! A pleasure to meet you. Nice to see an actual handsome-lookin' guy around here for once. Most demons here are usually quite old or ugly"

"Oh! T-Thank you! No one has ever said something that nice to me before, What's your name?" Marco asked.

"My name is Eva, and yours?"

"M-Marco. Nice to meet you"

"And you! Say... are you single by chance? it's not every day I meet a human"

"Y-Yeah! Yeah, I am!"

Star walked over to see what all the commotion was about.

"Hey, Marco, and, sorry, who are you?" She asked suspiciously.

"Oh hi, I'm Eva. Me and your friend here were just talking about maybe getting together sometime! I'd like to get to know him. He looks nice!"

Star looked at Eva with suspicion. She then pulled Marco aside for a moment to talk.

"Marco, you're not serious right?" She whispered to him.

"What? She seems nice! I think we could get along just fine!"

"Marco... Rookie mistake! The first rule of the underworld! Don't trust a demon" She said as she shook him wildly.

"She's super kind though... no one has ever complimented me like that before..."

"Mere demon charms, Marco! And who said I didn't think you were- uh... Handsome..." She said with a red tint on her face.

"Awww... Star that's super s-sweet! But this girl... She's... different..." Marco said flustered.
