Star vs The Forces of Evil: Unforgettable Getaway

Chapter 6: Paintball Palooza

Day 4

A new day on their vacation had arrived. And today's activity? A fun game of paintball.

"Paintball?"

Star was still learning about most things Earth-exclusive, and paintball was one of those things, and Marco used their in-house breakfast time to teach her about it.

"Yep, it's a fun Earth game where you're split up into teams and you fire paintballs at the opposing team."

"Sounds like a lot of fun. I think we had something like that on Mewni. It was mostly like what you just described, only we used melted corn and we called it "Corn Splat."

"And let me guess. The prize was corn." Star stared blankly at him. Her lack of response said it all for the boy. "Wow."

"Don't remind me." She rolled her eyes. "This is why I'm not going out of my way to ask for any corn-related foods." She chuckled while taking a bite out of her breakfast. "I hope we're on the same team today."

"I don't see why we wouldn't be. Besides, even if we're not, what's the harm? It's just a friendly competition, right?"

"True, but remember our Game of Flags? I have my wildly competitive side and...I don't want things to get ugly."

"Nah I doubt that would happen. This isn't your Mewni's game. Besides, I'd be a little disappointed if you didn't play like you were trying to win."

Star, sensing a friendly challenge, smirked at him and put her fork down. "You're going to regret saying those words, Diaz." She said with an evil-ish smile on her face and leaned in for a kiss.

Once they finished, they hitched a taxi and went up to the place where their day's activity would be taking place. It was this gigantic building with the name "Super Paintball Palooza" hanging up on a sign in front of it. They entered the building to find a small group of 8 other people also waiting. They were here for the same thing: a fun game of paintball. There was a big set of double doors on one of the walls; this door led to the arena in which these competitors would partake in today's game of paintball.

Star & Marco awkwardly took a seat next to two of the other people in the area. There was silence between the four of them for a brief moment, but finally Star found herself opening her mouth. "So...where are you guys from?" She asked casually. One of them lifted their head from their phone to look at her.

"We've flown in from Pittsburgh." The male answered.

Star gasped happily. "You're Yinzers!" Marco's head snapped in Star's direction. A what? He was utterly dumbfounded. "That's amazing!"

"What did you say?!" He exclaimed completely confused.

"Yinzer. It's just a term used to describe people that live in the city of Pittsburgh. You didn't know that?"

"...no. And you did?!"

"Why does that surprise you?" She raised an eyebrow, teetering on possibly being offended by his outburst. He gently pulled her towards him and whispered,

"So you didn't know what Thunder Thighs meant but you know what a Yinzer is?"

"You don't know everything about me, Marco."

During their conversation, a short, slightly overweight man walked into the room and gathered everyone's attention. "Attention, everybody!" His voice bellowed loud enough to quell the lingering conversations. "Welcome to "Super Paintball Palooza!" We hope you have a wonderful time with us today. Before we begin, is there anybody here who has never played a game of paintball before in their lives? Don't be shy."
