Shall We Dance?

Please, before reading, it wouldn't hurt to vote! ^^

The blonde however, didn't let her lips form into a smile just yet.
Only because she caught something the others didn't.

The battle wasn't over, and her friend was in danger.

It took a good look at Marco to send Star on alert.
Something was off once again, but she caught what it was this time.

Her best friend was too stiff...Too still...

Too quiet.

It just took a flick of his wrist to open Star's mouth to warn the demon prince.

"TOM!! WATCH OUT!!"

The pinkette backed up just in time to see Orhpeus' sword levitate to Marco's hand.

Marco barely missed Tom by an inch, and the demon stumbled back.

"M-marco..?" He took another step back. "It's me, it's me Tom!"

With a grin Marco swung fast at him once again, and once again, he barely missed.
"Oh, I'm fully aware of that, honey."

Another swing.

This time Tom blocked him with his own sword.

"And I'm not this Marco you've been fanboying about."

"Tom!! What the heck is he talking about??!" Star suddenly shouted as she watched the demon prince jump back.

"Uh-" Tom dodged another swing of Orpheus' sword. "I think I may have added too much demon soul!!"

The princess stayed silent for a few seconds to think before opening her mouth once more, "WHAT??!! I swear to the Mewni crown Tom, if Marco-"

"My name is NOT Marco!!" The brunette shouted angrily and suddenly threw the sword straight at the princess.

"Star!!" Tom shouted in warning.

In two seconds one of the most important people in his life would have died.
In just two seconds, Star would have no longer exsisted.

She would have poofed! into a beautiful flower because thats what happens when a Mewnian dies.

To Tom's greatest relief, that did not happen.

Star didn't turn into a blue rose beside his bulter's unconscious body at all.

In one of those two seconds of near death, a loud noise echoed through the air.

The princess had closed her eyes right at the second before the noise, ready for a pain that would have only lasted a third second.
But to her fortune, that third second never came.

Star opened her eyes, and looked up.
Before them was a body in front of her. The sword had stricken it instead, and it let out a cry of pain.

Star's focus cleared, and she gasped.

[At this moment, guess who it is. Go ahead. Comment~ :3 once people guess ill continue this chapter.. but if someone guesses right then I can feature them in the last chapter as a character!

"Wow... this really hurts.."

Right before her was a small boy with bunny ears and a tail.
He had his hands clasped over the blade to prevent it from impaling him any further. However it still pierced his skin, and a blood stain began to form on his white shirt.
