That night, Marco slept with the rose on his nightstand and Tom's number under his pillow, much like a child would keep their tooth under their pillow so the tooth fairy would give them money. Except, it would be something more like your local homosexual fairy here to score you a hot date with a hot demon. These two things were toooootally the same, right? Yeah, absolutely!

"Star, we're gonna be late to school!" Marco shouted towards her bedroom from the top of the stairway.

"Mgffhlmpbt..." She mumbled into her arm. Star had stayed awake all night searching for the cure to a love potion in her magic spellbook... Well, most of the night at least. She had fallen asleep at her desk. She looked up to the clock near her; it read 6:45. That woke her up, for sure. "mAGIC MORNING ROUTINE BLAST," she shouted, the mist from her mewni magic billowed out from her bedroom door as she rushed out and bypassed her Bestie-on-Earth on the stairs.

"That's like... the quickest you've ever gotten ready for school, Star," Marco stated, walking towards her into the kitchen, his backpack already on as the princess haphazardly slung hers across her shoulder & was walking out the door. "If only you got ready that quick EVERY day!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, nacho nerd!!" She poked fun, her light hearted smile slipping into a poker face, however. "Say, Marco?"

"Mhm?

"Do you... Do you feel anything... Different?"

Marco looked at her, puzzled after such a vague question.
"Well, what do you mean? That's waay too vague to possibly answer the way you want me to."

"Like.. About people, not-exactly-people people, y'know," Star made a few hand motions, trying to find the words she wanted.
"You know!! About, I don't know, Jackie Lynn Thomas.. about..." The girl kept pausing, everything perplexing her friend even more so.

"About??? Come on, Star! You know you can say whatever around me," He reassured her.

"abouttom," she finally blurted out. "Do you feel things for him?"

Marco started turning red, his face covered in blush. They both stopped walking for only a second, a gentle breeze blowing past them. Marco furrowed his brow, inhaling as he was about to respond to the princesses odd question.

"Maaarcooo!! Staarrr!!" A familiar voice shouted from across the street, making the two teens turn to look. It was Alfonso and Ferguson. Well, now Star & Marco knew they were late to school: if you came in at any time Alfonso & Ferg were there, you knew you were tardy. Those two were never, ever on time.

"oh thank goodness," Marco muttered under a sigh of relief, happy to get out of answering the blonde's question for a little longer.
