Bounded

Chapter 1

Star's POV

Dear Journal,

Today, me and Marco fought back against an entire army of monsters! I'm not talking Ludo's army of like ten monsters, I'm talking hundreds! If only me and him could break away from the madness, maybe I could find a way to bring us even closer than just best friends. Well, wish me luck!

April 16th, 2018

I closed my journal and placed it under my bed as Marco walked in.

"Hey Star! Do you know where my red hoodie number four is?"

"No. But if I see it I'll give it to you!"

"Ok, thanks Star."

Marco left the room and I took out his missing hoodie. I loved it. It was my ticket to my imagination of me and Marco being a couple. I dream that we would get married, have 2 kids, 1 a boy, 1 a girl. They would both look like younger us.

The image left my mind as I returned the hoodie to it's hiding spot. I grabbed my wand and went downstairs. In the kitchen, I could see Marco cooking breakfast. I sat at the table, and watched him as he multi-tasked. He was so cute.

Marco's POV

I flipped the pancakes, then scrambled the eggs, then turned the bacon over. I noticed Star staring at me and I blushed. Little known secret, I had a bit of a crush on my best friend who was a princess from another dimension.

"Hey Marco?"

"Yeah Star?"

I was secretly hoping she was about to maybe confess her feelings for me.

"Thanks for always being there for me."

Dang it. Oh well.

"No problem. You would do the same for me."

I flipped the pancakes onto a plate and set them in front of Star. She licked her lips as she dug in. I put bacon and eggs on my plate and caught the piece of toast that flew out of the toaster. This monster fighting was definitely getting my reflexes faster.

We sat and ate in silence until Star finished.

"So, what you want to do today?"

"I don't know to be honest. I'm a little tired from fighting those monsters, and I could use a nap."

"Ok."

I don't know if it was just me, but it sounded like Star was disappointed with my response.

Star's POV

After Marco went back upstairs to take a nap, I waited a few minutes before I went upstairs to my room. I looked around to see if there was anything I could do. Nothing. I decided to just go and see if maybe Marco had anything to do in his room. I went to his room and he was sleeping like a baby. I was tempted to lay beside him, but decided against it and found his weird box that makes things appear on the magic box. I turned it on and saw that Marco's favorite one of them all was on. I picked up the weirdly shaped wand and started moving the character around. The character jumped around and spun in a circle as he ran. How does Marco find this fun? I turned it off and went back to the living room. Let's see what the magic box had today!

Marco's dream POV

I sat up in my bed, looking around. It was dark, but I could tell that I was in my room. I went to turn the light on when I felt something cold.

"Hello...Marco Ubaldo Diaz."

I tried to see what I had touched, but I couldn't with the darkness surrounding me.
