🕑 Added 2018-04-15 05:19:55 +0000 UTC Author Note: Things are about to get real so get out your tissues.I do not own Star vs the forces of evil.
Enjoy!
What was he doing?
He did not know.
His body just moved on its own and what's worse, is that it refused to budge.
He had only known this Toffee a couple of days, but the monster had treated him a lot better than how Star had been treating him over these past couple of months.
Why shouldn't he defend him?
"Marco. Get out of the way" Star said.
Marco did not budge.
Then Marco did something even more shocking, he said.
"No"
"What?" Star said, her wand powering down. "What do you mean, No!? That's Toffee! He's evil! He almost killed me! He almost Killed you! He almost ended all of Magic and blew up my parent's castle!"
She couldn't understand.
How could he defend a Monster like that?
"But he didn't do any of that" Marco said.
"What?" Star said.
"He's a Toffee from another Reality" Marco said, "This Toffee doesn't have the guts to do something like that." Before turning to Toffee and saying. "Tell her"
The monster flinched and was instantly on his knees and said. "I-I wouldn't dare do something like that especially to Mistress Stars counterpart"
"Mistress Star?" Star said, officially confused.
"Explain" She said.
They both know this was going to be a long explanation, thankfully Star had all night.
Ch 6: Marco's decision
"So.......let me get this straight" Star said sitting on the swings. "That Toffee" pointing to the monster on standby. "Is from a different reality where another me has concurred all the dimensions and she's enslaved him so he works for her? And not only that but she's decided to make you a Prince and let you go on epic adventures?"
"That pretty much it" Marco said, like he didn't care.
But what they did care about was when Star started to raise her wand.
"Star, what are you doing?" Marco said, seeing Toffee back away.
"Marco, do you know how crazy that sounds?" Star said, "What about if what you saw was fake? What if it's all some nasty plot. A plot to get to-"
"You?" Marco voice suddenly injected and it scared her.
Star turned around to find Marco looking at her in a way that scared that her.
"Why does it always have to be about you?" Marco said, " It's just me, me, me. How self-centered."
Star was shocked and said. "I'm not self-centered. I've been trying to get monster to coexist-"
"With Mewmens" Marco injected. "Like I've never heard about important people trying to do what you're doing hoping that nobody would see how selfish they are in reality. What about if you were born a monster? I'd love to see you spout 'Monster equality', then"
"Marco.....what's wrong with you?" Star said, "Ever since you came back, you're not yourself."
Toffee just stood by and watched.
Monster equality?
Ridiculous.
He never thought he would ever hear that word.
He just stood by waiting for the order to leave.
"Myself?" Marco said, getting much to meet her. "Like you know who I am? You haven't known me for a year."
"What?" Star said, "Of course, I've know you for a year. You're my trusty Squire?."
"A Squire?" Marco said, advancing on her, making her take several steps back, his eyes were on fire as he said in a demonic voice.
"Don't talk to me about a Job you gave to me out of pity!"
"Marco!" Star said, suddenly he reminded her of Tom.
What was happening to him?
What was wrong with his voice and why could she see real fire in his eyes?
But Marco seemed to not be listening.
"You know, I gave up everything, for you" Marco said, his feet leaving scorch marks on the ground as Star fell. "I wanted so badly to have your life. You exposed me to so many wonderful people and wonderful places, that I hated my ordinary life. I wanted to live in a world where everything was always so exciting and new. And then when your dad told me I was an official knight, I foolishly believe him"
Star crawled away.
"When I found out, he was joking. I felt like an idiot" Marco said, his horns were coming out. "But I didn't break down. I was okay. But what I wasn't okay with, was the fact that I my own best friend didn't have the guts to tell me, she didn't want me there. I would have turned around and gone back home with disappointment but I would have appreciated it. When I left Earth, I was so sure I would be welcomed with open arms, you did tell me you liked me. I became so obsessed that Jackie and I broke up. Then to make it worse, you gave me a job, hoping that I would think I was wanted to their"
"Marco..." Star said, looking at the monster Marco had become.
How did this happen?
"Do you think, I wouldn't feel like garbage, when I found, all the other Squires had gone through years of experience just to be fit into their job? No wonder they hated me. The only reason why I got the job was because I'm best friends with the Princess!" Marco said, "And then you keep blowing me off for your boyfriend, Tom. I gave you everything but I just got nothing back."
"But you know what?" He said, laughing.
The demonic things had stopped happening.
"I can't do this no anymore" He said, with his hair shadowing his eyes, his voice sounded so small. "I don't have anything left to give."
And something just broke in Star heart.
Had she really been that terrible?
"I was an idiot. It should have been clear to me from the start that I was nobody to you" Marco said, "I was just some way to kill time. Once you were back on Mewni, you suddenly don't even care about anything coming from Earth"
"That's not true, Marco" Star said, "Toffee was coming after the Royal family and Magic and my mom was scared for my life."
"I know, but It doesn't change how I feel" Marco said, before saying. "So, I've finally made up my mind."
"Made up your mind about what?" Star said.
Marco turned around and began to walk to the surprise monster.
"Take me back, home" He ordered.
"As you wish, my Prince" Toffee said, but before he could turn around and begin walking, he was suddenly stopped by Marco hand.
"Prince?" Toffee said.
"I mean take me back, Home" Marco said.
Toffee eyes want wide at the implication before he smiled and said. "You've decided to stay in my world? Mistress Star, would be overjoyed"
"Hold on, a minute" Star said, confused. "Marco....talk to me"
"Star. We have nothing to talk about. I'm leaving" Marco said, with his back towards her. "I'm going to a place where I'm wanted and I can truly be myself. I don't have a reason to stay here"
It finally hit her like a brick.
Marco was leaving.
He was leaving.
Rain started to fall from the sky.
"Marco, don't go!" Star said, "What about your Parents? Friends? Me? Your education? Aren't you given up too soon? I'm sure we can make this work! Won't you miss home? How can you abandon your home for a place you don't even know?!"
"The same way I abandoned my Home for Mewni." Marco said, shutting Star up. "I have nothing here, Star. I just don't care anymore. I don't care about my friends. I don't care about my family. If I go back with you, all that's awaiting me is the hour long shouting from my parents and more grounding. I'll just go back to being plain old Marco, when I can be so much more."
"And what's wrong with plain old Marco?" Star said, trying to get him to stay. "Remember good old 'Safety Kid Marco'"
She had said the wrong thing.
"Toffee, let's go" Marco said.
"As you wish my Prince" Toffee said, the ring on his finger shone and both him and Marco began to turn transparent.
"WAIT!MARCO!" Star said, running towards them.
"Don't call me that." Marco said, "From now on its Prince Marco"
She was too late.
When she got there, all she touched was thin air, making her fall onto the concrete floor.
"Marco?" She frantically looked around.
But Marco and Toffee were no longer there anymore.
There was not a trace of them to be seen.
Marco was gone and he was never coming back.
It was all her fault.
She had drove him away.
She didn't know how long she just lay there, all that she know was that, when she finally did get back onto her feet the sun had once again come up and she was drenched in rain.
She had waited for hours but Marco did not come back.
What was she going to tell his parents?
They just got Marco back.
She know if she went missing, her parents would freak and search for her without rest.
Marco parents must have done the same thing.
And now....
But it was better to tell them, so they aren't left wondering why Marco hasn't come back yet.
So even though she didn't want to her, her legs began to move by themselves.
She slow began to walk back to the house every step felt a hundred time heavier than the last.
It felt like Years before she finally saw the front Door of the Diaz residence.
To think she had promised to bring Marco back, the last time she saw this door.
She rang the doorbell.
Several painful seconds later, the door finally opened to reveal Marco's Dad.
"Star!" The man said, in his PJ's and half of a sleep. "Do you know what time it is?"
Then he saw her state and all sleep from his eyes vanished like a lie.
"Star. What happened? Where's Marco?" The man said, letting her in.
"I think you need your wife for this." Star said, her hair covering her eyes.
The man looked startled before, doing what she said and waking his wife who didn't look too happy to be woken up at 3 in the morning.
Mrs Diaz appeared in her fluff pink bathrobe and bunny slippers, with tired eyes.
She was clearly not fully awake yet.
"hmmm, Star?" She said, she could recognize her enough with her tired eyes. "Where's Marco?"
Star almost cringed.
"First you both need to sit down" She said, making them both look at each other before sitting on the coach.
She took a deep breath and told them, everything.
And when she meant, everything.
She meant EVERYTING.
She told them everything that went on in the park, especially about Marco new powers that reminded her of what Tom used to be like before.
And Star watched as the sleep was drained out of both of them and they became fully alert.
Their eyes go wide, before tears started being shed.
Then she finished and they both were crying.
They had no idea, there son had been sinking into the abyss.
He was so far gone that he couldn't even come to them, letting it build up before he finally exploded.
Marco had gone with a Lizardman.
A Lizardman they had never met or seen before.
A complete stranger.
Willingly.
And this time, there was no way of contact.
Their son was gone.
Marco was gone.
They remembered all that happened yesterday.
Did they push their son to leave as well?
And scene!
Next chapter, Star remembers the spell that was supposed to send her to where Marco is and decides to risk it with Marco's Parents and her boyfriend along for the ride. They land in a twisted version of Earth that has everybody in sight fearing Star. Review/fav and follow!
