48So yeah, this idea came to me when I was bored.
Anyways, thank SonicELITE, EVAunit42, Exotos135 and many others readers for your support on me. This chapter is a test on my romance writing skill.
Disclaimer: Star vs the forces of evil belong to Daron Nefcy.
If I own the cartoon, then this chapter will be the perfect example of what will happen.
And now, let's see where this go.
Also, my English is really bad because English is Not my first language! So don't be suprise if you see many mistakes in this chapter.
It's was just another "normal" day for our beloved princess Star Butterfly and the "misunderstood bad boy" Marco.
They just fought Ludo and his minion on their way home like usual. But this time however, Ludo minion managed to hit Marco in the leg before being karate chop in the face. Right after Ludo and his minion left, Star quickly rush to her bestie.
"OMG Marco, are you alright?"
"Don't worry Star, this is nothing to me." Marco said, trying to stand up and look cool about it, only to fail miserably as he fall flat to the ground thank to his injured leg.
"No, you're not Marco. Here, let's me cast this spell on you and we will be good to go." She said with a big smile on her face.
"NO!"- Marco quickly rejected –"Star, remember what happened the last time you cast a spell on me in a situation like this?" Star started to have flashback about the whole Monster Arm incident.
"Oh, right. Sorry." She smiled sheepishly. She started to think what to do in a situation like this. In a matter of seconds, a light bulb appeared on her head.
"Oooo, I know! Remember that time when I accidentally teleported us home when I turned Miss Skullnick into a troll?"
"Like I can forget that!" Marco replied in annoyance. He still have that memory of his teacher being a troll making out with that minotaur guy. All of sudden, his brain finally understand what Star is about to do.
"NO STAR, DON'T!" Marco said in fright. He know Star will mess it up somehow, but this time, his sense was telling him this is much worse, something far more terrible will happen.
"Don't worry Marco. We will be home in no time."- Star replied with a confident smile –" Lightning Change Back." As she said those words, Marco could only scream in fright as his vision being turn to black.
(Unknown Location)
"Ughh, where am I?" Star groaned. She take a quick look at her surrounding. Instead of finding her room or Marco's, she found a weird place that look like a stage for some sort of musical show. "Great, I transport us to some stage. I better wake up Marco befor-" She widened her eyes in realization. Where is Marco?
Her question was answer soon enough, as Marco groan in pain.
"Marco? Wake up Marco!" She shake him in an effort to wake him up. Even though when doing so, she can't help but stare at Marco face in his sleep. "Hehe, Marco so cute in his sleep." As soon as those words hit her thought, she suddenly blush.
"Why am I thinking Marco cute? And why is my face so hot all of a sudden?" She thought. Sure, it's a normal thing to think her friend is cute, but why is her face hot when she thinking that? Is she… blushing? No, that's can't be it. It's probably something that had to do with this weird place she is in. But to think about it, she had been doing so a lot lately. Ever since she saw him shirtless with his abs when Star rushed into his room while he was changing because she was too excited to go to school and listen to Oskar music. And now, Star just can't stop imagining her best friend shirtless every time she look at him.
And yes, it sound stupid but that's life.
Her ramble thought was interrupted as Marco slowly waking up.
"Ughh, Star? Where are we?" He asked in a tired voice.
"MARCO!" Star jumped back in surprise with a blush on her face.
"Aghh, jeez Star. That's was way too loud. Even for you." Marco said in annoyance as he clutching his head in pain. Now he understand why his brain was telling him to stop Star before it's too late.
"Well, too late for that I guess." Marco thought. Right now, he need to look at his surrounding to know what to do next. Knowing his and Star luck, they are most likely to end up somewhere really dangerous.
"Where are we?" Marco asked no one in particular. He know that Star have no clue of where they are right now, that's for sure.
"I don't know. This place look like some stage for music show." Star replied.
"Maybe I can help you with that question." An unknown voice said, causing both Star and Marco to be caught by surprise.
They quickly turn their head to locate where the voice came from.
To find something that made them dropped their jaw to the ground.
Before them, stood a gigantic being that looks like it is made purely out of light, looking down at them.
After a few moment of shock for Marco and Star, and a few moment of silent for the giant, the being spoke first.
"I know that you are wondering where you are right now, let's me answer you. You have been selected to join my game."
"Game?" Marco was the first to snap out of his shock, only to ask in confusion.
"That's right, game." The giant said, before opening its "palm". All of a sudden, Star and Marco find themselves flying to the being "palm". They yelped in surprise, while trying to free themselves from the strange power but to no avail. They look up, and saw the giant's face "staring" at them.
"I have been observing you two for quite sometimes now, Star and Marco. And I have always wanted to meet you in person. That's why I have brought you here today to join my game." The giant's voice although was loud and filled with power, it's also fill with curiosity and joy. And not any normal type of joy either, this is the type of "joy" sound very similar to those killers in horror movies, where the killers will torture their victim for "joy". This scared the living soul out of both Marco and Star.
"WHAT KIND OF GAME YOU CRAZY WIERDO? MARCO AND I DON'T WANT TO JOIN ANY KIND OF GAME WITH YOU! LET US GO!" Star yelled at the being. Even though she is scare, her stupid bravery is still enough to speak to the being before her like that. Although there is more stupid in her than bravery, but only by a little bit. (A/N: Sure.)
"HAHAHA! That's what I would like to hear! You truly are brave, Star Butterfly." The giant remarked.
"But you won't be going anywhere until you finish my game. And I have the perfect reason why you would want to join." The being lightly chuckled, before opening his "palm" for a strange snow globe-like thing to appear in it. The globe item begins to glow a bright light before dying down.
Only to reveal that the inside of the globe show the entire Echo Creek Academy from above, when everyone is about to start their classes soon. Star and Marco was confused, to say the least.
"Uhh, why are you showing us our school?" Star asked in confusion. What is this guy planning?
"Observe." That's all the giant said, before he suddenly shake the globe.
And to their surprise and horror, the entire academy somehow was having an earthquake as he shaking the globe. The globe shows that everyone ran away in fright, screaming and shouting thing like "It's an earthquake!" or "We all are going to die!" The same goes to the teacher, but they still manage to evacuate the student. The entire academy was filled with chaos in a matter of seconds.
"STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THEM?" Star screamed in horror before the strange magic of the giant.
"Simply, I am shaking the academy, that's all."- The being "grinned" before return to his normal expression –"This is what will happen if you refuse to join my game."
"You see, this is not even close to what I can really do. If I wanted to, then I could destroy the entire Earth realm just by crushing this."- The giant pointed at the globe on his hand –"This globe represent the entire Earth realm. It's as fragile as glass to me."
"Butttt…"
"But?" Marco and Star asked.
"If you win, each of you will get a wish. Any wishes as all. And I won't destroy Earth realm."
"REALLY?" Marco and Star asked in unison. If this being as powerful as he say he is, then this could be a chance for the both of them. Not only that's they get to save Earth, they can also have a wish. Star can get Oskar as her boyfriend, and Marco can get Jackie as his girlfriend. It's a win-win situation. But they still need to be careful around this giant.
"Fine. But how do we know what you saying is true?" Marco asked suspiciously.
"You believe it's or not isn't matter. Your choices kid. Refuse and let's your precious world be destroy, or agree and have a chance to live."
"Fine. But we never catch your name." As Marco asked this, the being simply reply: "I have many names, but you could call me Deus."
"What is this game anyway?" Star asked.
"I called it."- Deus "smile" at them –"Can you sing?"
The duo stared at Deus, dumbfound by this. This guy, no, this maniac would be the right word, brought them here and threatened to destroy Earth to see them sing?
"Now, before you go angry, allow me to explain the rules to you. Marco will be tie up, and I shall use different types of challenge to try and interrupt Marco while he singing. If he manages to finish the song without missing a word, then he will win and you all will get your wishes."- Deus begins to smile widely -"But if you lose, Earth get destroy. Now, let's get moving before the readers get impatient."
Deus clap his hand and a bright light cover Marco, and he disappear within the light.
"Now, to your role Star." Upon seeing the smile that Deus gave her, she gulp. She know this is going to be terrible.
(The Stage)
As the light around him disappear, Marco finds himself being strap to a chair with a microphone hang over his head. He take a look at his surrounding, to see that this is the same stage he saw earlier.
Waiting for Deus come and does crazy stuff to him, Marco started thinking about what is about to happen.
"Okay, so Star and I got force to join this god-like guy's game. But he only asking me to sing, that's not too bad." Marco thought.
Oh, and let's not forget that he will be freaking TOTURE while he sing. But if he loses, everyone he known will die. So yay, no pressure right?
Oh who is he kidding? He can't even sing! And who know what does that maniac got in store for him.
OH GOD HE GONNA DIE! HE GOING TO FAIL EVERYONE AND EVERYONE WILL DIE!
"No!" Marco thought to himself –"I got to be strong and get through this."
Ughh, but that's doesn't mean he can't be nervous and scare. God, why did he get into this? If Star didn't cast that spell then they won't be here right now. But if what's that guy said is true, then he and Star will probably teleport here anyways.
Talking about Star, he had been feeling… weird around her lately. It's started ever since he got captured by that Toffee guy a couple of weeks ago. Ever since he hug her after seeing her wand fell to the ground that day, thing hadn't been the same. Sure, she usually hugging him but that's time just fell… different. Ever since then, he just couldn't stop feeling his cheek redden at the sight of her around him. Sure, he tried to hide it, but he just couldn't stop.
And when she hugged him, he just couldn't hide it. Luckily, Star always closes her eyes when she hugged him, so she hadn't noticed it.
What was wrong with him?
Marco eyes widened in realization.
"Unless..."
But before His thought could be finished however, he was interrupted as Deus suddenly appears before him, startling him.
"Now, ready Marco?" Deus grinned at him.
"Fine! Bring it on!" Marco yelled at Deus. It's may sound very brave but to be true, Marco is terrified.
"That's the spirit. Now, first off…"- Deus snapped his finger, and a bow that's filled with strange, slimy liquid appears under Marco feet –"That's for your sock."
Marco was extremely uncomfortable, he really hated it when his sock is wet with water. But this liquid is much worse. It feels like sticky mud.
...I'm not very good at this, okay? Geez, kids these days.
"If you think that suck, you haven't seen anything yet!" Deus smiled, his tone unnerved Marco in every ways possible.
Deus snap his finger, and Star appeared right next to Marco, and…
"JACKIE? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Marco screamed out.
"She is here for the game Marco, don't worry, I won't hurt her. But I think you should be more worry about yourself first. HEHEHE"
"Now."-Deus snapped his finger again, this time a television slowly come down from the ceiling-"The song is As Long As You Love Me by Justin Bieber. Goodluck, and remember what will happen if you don't win. No pressure." Deus smirked, earning a scowl from Marco. In the next moment, Deus disappear, and a clock begin to form on Marco head.
"If you survive this till the clock stop, you win." Deus voice booming around the stage, but soon to be replace with music for the song and lyrics appear on the television screen.
Great, out of all kind of song, he had to chosen a song with rap in it. Just GREAT!
"What are you guys here for?" Marco turned around and asked the two girls.
Only to be confused when both of them decline to talk and only… blushing?
"Now, start!" As Deus said that, the clock began counting down.
"Here go everything." Marco thought to himself before he begins to sing:
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
*music*
As long as you love me
I'm under pressure, seven billons people in the world trying to fit in
Star and Jackie stared dumbfound at Marco voice. His singing sound so… smooth and beautiful. Star was… blushing at his voice? She could feel herself drifted to La-La-Land at the moment she hear his voice. Why didn't he sing more often?
Keep it together, smile on your face even though your heart is frowning
And the lyrics, god damn it! The lyrics is so fitting with the scene she is in right now. As if the song was make specially for Star herself.
It's feel like the song is describing her right now. God damn that Deus guy and his magic.
But hey now, don't know girl we both know what to do
Star and Jackie was startle by this, they turn around and look at each other, then blushing. They know what they need to do. Even if it's was being forces by that strange guy. Star leaned down…
But I will take my chances
…And kissed Marco.
CLIFFHANGER!
THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ONESHOT, BUT I DON'T HAVE TIMES, AND I THINK IT'S WILL BE BETTER THIS WAYS!
ANYWAYS, LEAVE YOUR REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK! I JUST MIGHT CONTINUE THIS IF YOU WANT ME TO.
ALSO, EVAunit42, would you mind if I use some part of your fanfic to write the next chapter? Tell me if you ever read this!
And why did I chosen that song? Because it's fit perfectly with the story.
I don't care what you say about Justin, it's will never change the fact that this song is awesome!
