Star Vs The Forces of Evil: The Search

Chapter 5: Marco

Chapter 5: Marco

I left Star at her door and walked away with a giant grin on my face.

When I had interfered at The Blood Moon Ball I had no idea I would be saving my relationship with Star. To be honest, I hadn't even known that the ball would tie us together for an eternity. I just didn't want Star to become too attached to her ex boyfriend. I acted out of jealousy that day. But I was grateful that I had arrived early enough that day to stop Star and Tom from dancing the number.

I found Tom outside his castle, speaking to several relief workers and giving instructions. Those who had magic zapped things back into order; burning fresh fires, rebuilding homes and businesses, extinguishing the blazing crops.

Tom ceased his conversation the moment he saw me. "What are you still doing here, Diaz?" He scowled deeply.

"Listen, man," I began. "I'm sorry about Star. I know you two have history between you but she's not interested in you anymore. At least not romantically. She cares about you as a friend. I know it must be hard to lose a girl like Star. You'll find your other half."

Tom lost his scowl and looked crestfallen. He gave a small humorless laugh, "I knew I shouldn't have left her alone during the main Blood Moon Ball dance. Just treat her right. Star's a special girl and I do love her." He sighed, "But I still want to help you guys. I know she's planning on going to Princess Pony Head's home to gather more weapons."

I nodded, "the more the merrier. But we have to get along for Star's sake." I dug around in my pockets and handed back the engagement ring he had placed on her finger. "Here, give it to someone you love. But not Star."

I felt a nudge against my leg. Nacho pushed once more for a pet. "You can come too, Nacho."

We set things right in the Underworld. It took a good portion of the night away, and by the time everyone was finished, they were ready for bed. I checked on Star and her family one last time before hitting the sheets myself.

As a precaution, Tom placed high level security around the entire kingdom. Everyone slept lightly, as if afraid Ludo/Toffee would return.

Sometime during the night, my mother and father arrived. They were extremely upset with me the next morning. But after they were through lecturing me, they engulfed me in a giant hug and thanked God I was okay.

I dressed and followed my nose into the breakfast room. I found Star, both sets of our parents, and Tom and his father breakfasting around a long mahogany table. I sat next to Star and talked before realizing I was starving.

"Eat up," Tom commanded from the head of the table. "We're leaving for Mewni in half hour. The Magic High Commission has issued a meeting."

I walked over to the sideboard that was piled high with food. Speaking deviled eggs, monster pudding, roaring toast, wailing waffles, and a stack of regular pancakes sat on it. Staying on the safe side, I chose the pancakes.

Unfortunately for Tom, we left two hours after. We met in the War Room of the Mewnian castle. Pony Head, Janna, Jackie, Star Fan 13, and The Magic High Commission waited inside.

Queen Moon cleared her throat, "This meeting is now called into order." We took our seats, with the queen at the head and her husband at her right hand side. The Magic High Commission sat according to their ranks with Star at their left and I sat beside her. My parents sat near the end of the table. Pony Head and the girls waited at the kids table.

With another clear to her throat, Queen Moon said, "In light of recent events, we have deemed Marco Diaz too susceptible to Toffee's magic and will be sending him back to Earth with his parents."
