Study- Sunday (Final Chapter)

The Diaz home was quite as Star slunk from her room and stealthily walked down the hall to Marco's room. Star, dressed in her nightgown, giggled quietly to herself as she prepared to put her clever plan into action. Star pressed gently into Marco's wooden door and peered in through the new opening. Star's eyes widened in surprise as she let the door fully swing open as she gazed at an empty bed rather than Marco's sleeping form.

Star looked around frantically trying to spot where her best friend could be, as her discovery would ruin her "carefully" crafted plans. Star silently searched his room looking for any indication as to where he had gone. Star frowned as she found no trace of Marco and she slunk back down the hall to her room. She was just about to walk through her already open door when an orange sticky note caught her eye. "That's new" Star muttered to herself as she pulled the note from her door and began to read. "Star, I went out early to get us a special surprise breakfast, so don't eat yet- Marco".

Star smiled as the content of the note sunk in "Marco is so sweet" Star giggled as she pranced into her room and flopped down on her bed, her "carefully crafted" plan all but forgotten at the prospect of a surprise breakfast from Marco.

Marco carefully opened the front door and walked in before placing the box on the coffee table. Marco looked around the livingroom, only mildly surprised Star was not already up causing some form of mayhem. Marco smiled at the thought of Star, flaming rainbows, and happy crazed laser puppies bouncing around the house. "Star, I got breakfast" he called up the stairs. Marco waited a moment and sighed when he received no response. "I guess it is Sunday. It's not like she has to be up for school or something" Marco muttered as he walked up the stairs and to the first room to the left.

Marco leaned against Star's open doorframe and smirked as the Queen to be had fallen back to sleep on her bed. "Too cute" Marco sighed before he walked over to Star's bed and began playfully "Booping" Star's nose. Star's eyes slowly opened and a smiled spread across her face as she gave Marco a rather confused look.

Marco gulped as he stared into her cerulean eyes. "uh, hehe, good morning beautiful. Breakfast is down stairs when you are ready" Marco stammered before beating a hasty retreat down the stairs and to the livingroom. 'Did I really just call her beautiful to her face? Come on Diaz! Pull yourself together. You gotta be smoother than that! And what was with the stuttering' Marco internally panicked as he ran to the kitchen and busily grabbed two plates for their special shared breakfast.

Star was glad Marco had left her room as quickly as he had or he would have seen a happy and giggly mess with full on glowing checks. "He thinks I'm beautiful" Star sighed to herself as she pulled herself out of her warm and comfortable bed and dreamily walked down the stairs to the livingroom where Marco was waiting with two plates and a box that, at least Star hoped, held the promised breakfast surprise that she had all but been drooling over since she read his note he had left on her door.

"MMM, whatever it is, it sure smells wonderful" Star sang as she plopped down next to Marco, eyeing him expectantly. Marco smiled brightly upon seeing how happy Star appeared to be. 'Thank goodness, she must not have been awake enough to catch it" Marco thought. "Without further ado, I present to you, Miss Butterfly, the largest cinnamon roll I can possibly imagine" Marco proclaimed before lifting the lid to reveal a truly large cinnamon roll. Marco smirked as he watched Star's eyes, literally, begin to twinkle like her namesake in the night sky.

"Marco! This looks sooo good! Where did you get this and why have I never been introduced to this yumminess before" Star said with a playful whine in her voice. "I got it from a special bakery downtown. They are kinda famous for their giant cinnamon rolls. The trick is getting one" Marco stated nonchalantly. Star gave Marco a confused look "What do you mean "The trick is getting one"". Marco rubbed the back on his head sheepishly "Well, they are extremely popular. So... they sell out quickly. I went downtown at about five to get in line. I got luck and got one". Star stared at Marco as if he had grown a second head "You got up that early on a weekend...for me" Star asked hopefully. "Well, ya. I knew you would love this. I have to take care of you. It's my job after all" Marco chuckled nervously.
