Prologue
It was a rainy day, not too heavy but still enough to get you wet. And as the young 10 years old Marco Diaz was slowly strolling back home from the local store, a little soaked in the shoes. Within his hands, one bag of groceries his mom had reminded him to buy before she gets home from work. Yep, life was normal and happy for him.
Setting the bag down, he took out the keys to open the front door until Marco freeze, the door is already opened?
"What!? Mom, couldn't have been back already?"
Marco was worried that there might be a thief in the house, but if that was the case then why didn't the alarm go off. Trusting his karate training, he slowly moved into the house forgetting about his groceries bag.
"Hello? Anybody here?" Marco asked carefully, peeking into the kitchen to check if his Mom was home early.
"Hi, Marco!" a girly voice broke out from behind him causing Marco to jump to his feet into a fighting stance, releasing a karate kick at the intruder. His feet, however, was met with his Mom
"Ouch!, Marco! Is that how you said hello to your own mother" His mom said rubbing her belly where his feet made contact.
"OMG! I'm sorry Mom! I just heard a strange voice, I didn't know that it was you!" Marco apologized quickly, then something catches his eyes. There was a girl wearing a small packback standing behind his mother, with long blonde hair that stretched just barely past her shoulder.
"Oh, that voice you heard belongs to sweet little Star here, her father was a close friend of our family, so she would be living with us for a while" Star peeked out from behind his Mom waving her hand excitedly at Marco. "Did she just say live? No way I must had misheard her," Marco thought.
"Why don't you two get to know eachother, while I go get some lemonade," His mom said before walking out of the living room
"Thanks, Mrs. Diaz!"
"Wait, Mom how did she know my name?" Marco asked his mother.
"I'd told her son" his mom responded with a smile, he was about to ask more before she disappeared into the kitchen. Sighting Marco turned back to look at a smiling Star.
"Ummmm, your name is Star...right?" Marco had never heard such a strange name before.
"Yep! That me. Your Mom told me all about you Marco! We are gonna had so much fun together and even better I would be living with you!".
"Wait! What!" So is true, he thought. His mind was in shock, what with all the sudden news. What was his mom thinking, does this mean he had to share his personal space and all his stuff with her now? "What the heck Mom?".
Marco, despite his inner storm still tried to play it cool, he will talk to his mother later.
"Okkkk...so where are you from?"
"Oh, I'm a magical princess from a different-magical world!" Star exclaimed. "It's so nice to meet you, Marco," she said extending her hand out to him.
"...Oh god, this girl is crazy. Why me?" Marco screamed in his head
"Well...uhhh it's been nice meeting you too Star," Marco said before running into the kitchen to find his Mom, he didn't notice the way Star's face dropped a little.
"Mommmmmmm!" Marco cried out
"What's wrong Marco," His mother asked, squeezing some lemons.
When she reached for the sugar, his mom remembered something.
