Hello everyone! yes I finally finished this, I've been working on it for a long time now, ever since I started shipping this I really wanted to get some sort of Starco one shot up, largely because dealing with the hiatus and not knowing exactly how this ship is going to happen is killing me. XD (I honestly haven't felt this anxious about a ship since Boyz Crazy...which is honestly what got me into the Gravity Falls fandom, but hey, that's besides the point. XD) This fanfic takes place following the events of BonBon the Birthday Clown, and is kind of one of many possibilities for how I think Starco could happen. the main thing I think has to happen is for Marco to realize he cares about Star more. and so that's what happens here. this won't resolve all the plot lines of the latest episode. (Ludo taking the spellbook, exc.) as there's no reason for it too, this isn't a humongous fanfic series/AU thing like 'The Great Nightmare' was for Gravity Falls. (Though I do plan to write a Star VS Evil fic series like that eventually.) this is just about Starco. (well not 'just about Starco' as it has some side stuff too.) and one way I see it happening. (I've already thought up SEVERAL possibilities for how it could work out too. this is just one example.) it'll also have mentions of a past Moon/Toffee implied ship because I love the idea of that now, and..yeah. ALSO: If I get anyone in the comments saying Star and Marco are being jerks in this fic, so help me I will... *FUMES* the portrayal of them in this fic, and the situations they're in are both situations I've been in before. and there is no easy way out of, so before you call them jerks, think about what you'd do in their shoes. and Jackie's not in the wrong either, now if you wanna call Pony Head out for giving terrible advice, that's completely understandable. this fic will be a very long one shot, as I want to flesh out how Starco happens and make it as realistic as understandable. I don't want it to just be like: *STAR CONFESSES FEELINGS* *MARCO INSTANTLY LEAVES JACKIE* because that is REALLY DUMB. instead it'll be a slow realization on Marco's end. this fanfic takes place over the course of numerous days, and has numerous timeskips. I also apologize to Ferguson fans if they don't like my treatment of him, I don't hate his character, I'm just making a joke over his gradual absence from the show. (And I'm also sorry for leaving out Alfonzo, but I didn't..really know how to write for him at all.) Also: Daron Nefcy confirmed Marco's Dad ships him with Star. just let that sink in as it'll make this fic make a bit more sense later on.
With all that in mind... I sincerely hope this fic doesn't feel rushed in any sense, I tried my best to make it make sense from a character perspective and a plot perspective.
Heeeere's the fic.

Day 1:
It had been a week since Ludo stole Star's spellbook, Star and Marco had been relentlessly searching for him, but to no avail.

they had searched nearly cornerstone of Mewni and Earth, and countless other dimensions. and it was beginning to look more and more hopeless. the two emerged from a portal in the Diaz household, into Star's room, Star emerged sighing.

"Uuugh...we're never gonna find him...this is hopeless..." Marco put his arm on her shoulder. "Star listen, it's only been a week, you know Ludo, eventually he'll show his face and then we'll get the book. after all I'm sure he wants the other half of your wand." Star looks at her wand, with a look of sadness in her eyes.

"...Marco even if he does show up, how would we stop him? he has the book, and without it or Glossaryk I can't...Ugh I'm useless..." Marco exclaims "Useless?! You're Star Butterfly! You've got fist like hammers! you fought monsters to a stand still without the wand before, and you'll be able to do it again now. besides, you can do your usual spells, and come on...do you really think Ludo's a fast learner?"

Star replies. "Marco I-...could you leave me alone right now?..please?" Marco was shocked, usually this sort of advice tends to make Star feel better, it wasn't like her to stay in a slump this long, but then again he's not sure anything like this has ever happened. he let out a deep sigh, and replied

"Okay..I'll be in my room uh..call me if you uh..if you wanna do something okay?" she nodded back, laying on her bed with her face in her pillow. Marco walked away. once he did, she immediately got back up, running to her mirror. she stood in front. "...Call...Mom."

her Mother was immediately put on the screen, as she smiled at her meekly. "Hey Mom...uh..whatcha up to?" her Mother sighed. "...Star...what did you d-" she then groaned "I didn't do anything Mom! well I..I kind of did? I got attacked by Ludo, I lost Glossaryk and the spellbook. and I-" Queen Moon responded sharply. "You lost your spellbook?!..hmm well I wouldn't have much of it, I'm certain they'll find no use for it without a wand. but without the spellbook I'm afraid you're not even remotely prepared to train with the wand..perhaps..it'd be best if I took it back.."

Star replied nervous at the mention of another wand. "No no Mom! it's fine, we'll find Ludo. we're..we're gonna get the spellbook back. to be honest, that's not even what I called you about..." Moon sighs. "Oh what else did you lose then? don't tell me you lost your Guide now too." Star laughed. "Haha no I didn't-...Guide?" Moon nodded. "Yes of course, your Earth Guide, what's his name again? Marco?..he's a good lad. I'll be honest, I didn't think he'd make a good guide for you at first." Star replied confused. "Guide?...you mean Marco's not just my roommate?..Mom you're not making any sense." Moon sighs. "Oh nevermind that dear, what was it you wanted to ask me?"

Star breathed in heavily. "...Mom have you ever...been in love before?..I mean obviously you have, but I mean how did you-..how did it-...uh what I'm trying to say is-" Moon replied. "I-...you know your Father's usually better at giving advice on...emotions... but I know what it's like to be a teenager in love. it can be a whole whirlwind of emotions, and when I was a girl, it led to make some...decisions I regretted later in life. you might say I nearly wrecked the whole kingdom..."

Star squealed. "*GASP*..So you might say we're...MESS UP TWINS?!" Moon groaned. "I suppose...but Star...who exactly is this about?" Star replied swiftly. "WHAH- About? It was about uh..you, I uh..you never tell me much about your life before being Queen, and I've..taken an interest? Yeah yeah that makes sense.." she says, obviously faking an interest. Moon smiles back. "Oh really? Well if you'd like I could tell you lots more stories, about how I defeated the immortal-" Star then replies, surprised she took the bait.

"Yeah thanks Mom, but if you could just get back to the romance thing please?..." Moon sighs. "..Of course. well a long time ago you see I fell in love with a man of great status, I suppose we had spent so much time together I felt a great attachment to him...but it turns out he...wasn't the person I thought he was, or..maybe I wasn't who I thought I was.."

Star replies. "how did you...get over him?" She replies with a hint of remorse. "...I got over him because I had to, for the good of my Kingdom, and for the good of myself. I buried my emotions, like I always do. your Father helped but sometimes I still think of him at times..what could have been..who was in the right." Star replies as well, feeling a bit bad for making her Mother relive this. "Hey don't...don't beat yourself up for it...you couldn't help how you felt..." Star's last part of her sentence her Mother noticed felt a bit out of place.

"...Star...are you talking about me...or yourself?" Star jumped up. "...Nice talk Mom. I uh..I need to g-" Moon interrupts her. "Star! before you leave, I need to tell you... without the book, chances are you won't be able to learn the wand to it's uttermost abilities... that being said, if you'd like I would like to take the wand back for now. at least until we find the book...and if you're not training with your wand. there's no reason for you to stay on Earth." Star stares blankly, surprised at this statement. "Are you...asking me to come home?" Moon replies again.

"...I'm simply suggesting..." Star smiles for a moment. "..Thanks Mom..but..I'm happy here, besides, me and Marco we'll...we'll get the book." Moon replies again. "Alright...just...think about it alright Star?..." Star nods. "...Goodbye Mom." her Mother, with the most loving smile she can give says "And Star...I love you." she replies. "Love you too Mom." and the two hang up, normally Star's calls with her Mother are tense, but she felt as though she made a connection with her this time.

So Star, feeling slightly more upbeat now, decides to go up to Marco's room, despite his wish of her calling her first. she immediately runs and knocks on his door. "Marco!" she shouts "Sorry I was being a grumpy grump, it's just this whole thing with Glossaryk has got me pretty down right now, and the thing is it's not just that, you know I was actually afraid you weren't gonna want to talk to me as much after you and Jackie started uh...Marco are you in there?" she presses the side of her head against the door, and hears his voice. "Are you serious?..who would ever-..Jackie you're one of the coolest girls I know, don't listen to them...no problem, and hey, I'll see you tomorrow! Hah, alright bye."

she hears the sound of a phone hanging up. as she drags her head down the door, she hears Marco walk up, and quickly jumps away. putting her arms behind her back, she attempts to whistle. Marco walks out with a happy face. "Heeey! Star you're looking like you're feeling better." Star smiles. "Yep! and I was hoping we could maybe head out to look for Ludo some more? I have one place where he might be hiding..." she says getting out a giant map. "Let's see...we could-" Marco replies. "Oh Star, I-..I'm sorry I just told Jackie I'd go out with her tonight, we were gonna go over to her house and watch a movie. I..I would ask you to come, but y'know it's kind of a-...hey y'know what I'll cancel it don't-" Star replies, trying to hide the hurt in her voice. "Marco!...go be with Jackie, I...I can go look for Ludo myself, besides, we'll have plenty of time tomorrow, even if we have to spend the whole day looking for him!..though hopefully we won't, wouldn't wanna miss out on Friiiiendship Thuuursday!" she says swiftly changing from saddened to excited. but notices an expression on Marco's face remain sad.

"...Unless...you have plans with Jackie then too..." Marco sighs. "It's...it's just this once um, hey..maybe this week we can have a..Friendship Friday?..."Star sighs. "...No thanks..I'll just have it with Pony Head..." Marco replies."Star I'm really sorry-" Star exclaims. "Marco! Stop beating yourself up! I told you. it's fine." Marco hugs her. "Thanks Star! You're the best! I promise I'll make it up you..." She smiles, hiding her face in her hoodie. "It's ok...what kind of friend would I be if I didn't support your relationship?" He smiles again. "Hey I'll see you later ok?" she waves "Bye Marco!" plastering a fake smile. and as soon as he leaves she mutters to herself. "...I'd be a friend with a crush on you that's what I'd be..." she lightly kicks a nearby chew toy, as it flies through the air, the laser puppies attack it. Star then lowers herself down onto the ground next to the door, resting her head in her arms, and starts to cry.

"...This isn't what I wanted to feel..." she thought to herself. and she laid there for a while, eventually her legs gave out and she fell asleep in tears. a few hours later, Rafael Diaz returned home. he and his wife had gone out that night, his wife stayed out later with some of her friends. as he walked in the house, he noticed Star on the floor. "..Star?" he leaned down and shook her. "Star!" she woke up. "Gah whah MARCO!-...Oh..hey Mr. Diaz, didn't expect you to be home so early." Rafael simply stared, blinking.

"...I...Star... it is Midnight." Star yawns. "Oooh really?" she stretches and picks herself up. "Guess I...fell asleep.." Rafael looks around. "Where..where is Marco?" Star replies back. "Oh Marco? he's spending the night over at Jackie's, he wanted me to tell you, but y'know..I crashed on the floor here so." Rafael puts out his arm and helps her up. "Yes so I noticed..is..everything alright?" Star yawns. "Yep, just...long day of looking for Ludo I guess... hey I'm gonna go crash for the night alright?" Rafael scratches his head. "But...you just got u-...alright, I will see you in the morning." She replies. "Yeah.. see you too." Star had lied to an extent, she was really beat from looking for Ludo, but in truth it was her emotions that exhausted her.

Day 2:
The following day for Star, was no different. as we see her and her best friend Pony Head, alongside her friend Janna on the couch having 'Friendship Thursday' as the two of them dig into a pizza. Janna gets out a piece for Star, leaning it over to her. "Heeeyy Star you want a slice?" She sighs. "..No thanks..I miss Emelio's..." Janna sighs. "...Really? Cause..it sounds to me like you're missing Marco." Star replies. "Pfft...Yeah I wish he was here, but I get it, it's not like I have to be around him all the time. we're just friends!" Pony Head raises an eyebrow. "...Um Star, no one suggested you weren't 'just friends'...but Janna and me have been talking, and it's pretty obvious something's going on here. so why don't you tell us about it baby girl?"

"What?!" Star asks shocked "When did you and Janna become so buddy buddy?!" Pony Head laughs. "Um because I noticed you two were 'buddy buddy' so I thought maybe I should be become besties with another one of your besties girl. now come on, tell me what's the deal. you got a thing for Marco or what?" Star jumps out of the covers, and scoffs at them. "Pony Head! I. am. offended by you."

Pony Head raises an eyebrow. "Wait. what. why?" as Janna watches with much interest, Star exclaims. "I am offended that just because Marco's a boy, and that we hang out a lot together, you immediately have to assume that I'm interested in him. I am HAPPY for Marco, he has been in love with Jackie since he was 9 years old. to even THINK that I would be so selfish as to be in love with him...sure, I really like Marco! I enjoy spending every waking moment with him, and when he's not with me I feel like there's a hole in my heart, I almost always want him in my arms, and..." Pony Head and and Janna simply stare, as Star covers her mouth. "...If any of you ever tell him I said that, I swear I will unleash my Spider with a Top Hat on ALL OF YOU." Pony Head sighs. "Girl...don't you know me better?..we always keep each other's secrets, it's what we do.. right Janna?" Janna nods.

"Right. this is between us..." Star lets out a deep breath. "Oh thanks you guys...it's really good to let this off my chest...not that it matters though, nothing's gonna change." Pony Head rushes in front of Star. "What do you mean nothing's gonna change girl?..Marco may be dating Jackie right now, but if he knew you had a thing with him, that would probably change quicker then you could say PONY HEAD." Star smiles. "You think?" Janna cuts in. "Hey WHOA WHOA WHOA. Pony Head, Star can't just walk in and tell Marco she has a crush on him while he's dating another girl, do you realize how selfish that would be?" Pony Head sighs. "Y-yeah well I..I didn't really think about it...I mean I guess kind of..." Janna replies. "Look, I'm not saying there's no chance for you and Marco. but Marco is crazy about Jackie, and...she's my friend too. I'm sorry Star I'll keep your secret, but I...I'm not sure I can take your side here." Star exhales again. "...No no..its ok,

I get it. Jackie..Jackie's my friend too, I don't wanna be the reason they break up... and they're really happy together..." Star than thinks about her Mom's advice on the screen from before, and ponders it further. "...Maybe I shouldn't be here anymore..." Janna spits out her pizza all over the floor, nearly choking. "*HACK* *COUGH* Wait-...You're not thinking of going back to Mewni are you?!" Star replies. "Yeah, maybe...my Mom said I didn't have to stay here anymore, and I'm...not sure I can..." Janna puts one arm around her. "Hey...it's ok..if you need some space to try and...get rid of these feelings than that's alright." Pony Head exclaims. "Alright?! It's great! I'm gonna have my bestie on Mewni back!" she flies around in circles. Star tries to emit a smile, but to no avail. "...I..." Janna puts an arm on her shoulder. "...BUT...look Star, I know I'm not always the best voice of reason, but...I want you to think about this before you make any decisions okay?" Star nodded. as the two hugged.

Day 3:
The next day, Star came to a decision. she and the Diaz family gathered around around the dinner table, as she scooted her chair ever so slightly closer to the table. and then scooted back and forth, she had called for a meeting of the household and everyone seemed a tad confused. Star was holding off telling them her choice for as long as she could. as she knew they'd be sad to see her go. Mrs. Diaz tilts her head as if she was a confused puppy. "Star..is everything alright dear? what uh..what is it you wanted to tell us?" Marco exclaimed "Yeah Star, is it good news?" Star sighed. "No I..." she gets out of her chair and walks around. "...It's just...my family told me that I could...go home." Rafael and Angie both look surprised. Rafael stating "Leaving so soon?" Star replies "Well I-" but is interrupted by Marco. "You're not...going to go are you?" Star lowered her head. "Marco when I came here, we both it was going to be temporary, I...I was only supposed to stay here til I learn to use my wand, and with the book gone...and this dimension not being any safer for me really, I...I'm allowed to go home...I've...kinda missed my family..and I'm sure they miss me too, so I..."

Marco simply stares, with a disappointed yet understanding look. "I...I get it...hey I..good luck with finding Ludo." She smiles. "Thanks." the Diaz's both look sad, Rafael starts to cry, and blows his nose, as his wife pats him on the back saying. "There there honey...it'll be ok..." Rafael replies. "Thanks you my love..but Star...we will miss you here, the house will not be the same without your lively spirit." Star gets tears in her eyes, and runs over and hugs the both of them, one by one. she then looks up at them. "..I love you guys..." she wipes her tears away. "I'll...I'll miss you too.." she looks over to Marco with not a word, as they both give each other a somber look. she walks out the door. Marco lowers his head in sadness, suddenly Star rushes back inside exclaiming. "I...forgot my scissors." she picks them up, and opens a hole. looking back, she quickly hugs onto Marco, squeezing him tight, he places his arms around her as well, as she says. "And I...I'll miss you most of all Marco..." after what felt like several minutes, she let go of the hug. used her wand to zap her room in the house away to Mewni, as the puppies each pulled on her legs she said.

"You...you guys keep them okay? I made them for you guys... and Marco..." she walked over to him again, and opened his hand, placing her scissors inside. Marco gasps. "You're...giving me your scissors?" Star laughs. "Haha, I..I have plenty of them back home, besides...this way, if you ever need me, all you have to do is use these scissors okay?...but you have to promise me you'll only use them in the case of an emergency." a bit confused, he nods, as she finally walks through the portal, they each wave goodbye once more. as Marco's Father once again cries. the portal then closes...and just like that, Star Butterfly was gone from their lives.

Day 4:
With Star gone, we see Marco, with the school having just turned lunch time he proceeds to sit at his usual place he eats. without Star's wand's magical properties, Marco had to settle for a regular PB & J sandwich his parents made at home, as opposed to a magical desert. he was sitting alone, as he sit in his same seat the two of them usually chose. and quickly one of his older friends took notice of this. Ferguson. he sat next to him quickly and exclaimed. "Well well well, if it isn't Marco Diaz...eating alone I see." Marco turns his head to him. "Oh hey Ferguson, long time no see. what's up with you?" Ferguson scoffs. "Oh I just noticed Star's not here...guessing she...went home?" Marco nods. "Yeah..." as he stops eating his sandwich for a moment to recollect his thoughts. Ferguson laughs.

"Haha..I knew you'd come crawling back to me." Marco raises an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?" Ferguson then continues "Ever since Star Butterfly showed up we've hung out less, and less, and less. but now that she's gone, I can take back my place as your number one best buddy-" just then Jackie walked- or should I say 'skated' by. "Hey Marco!" she stopped in her tracks, and proceeded to walk up to him. "Where's Star?" Marco replies. "Oh um...Star left yesterday...but hold on one second..you were saying something Ferguson?" he turns to him. Ferguson's face turns to that of disappointment. "No no..don't mind me. wouldn't wanna get in the way of your conversation with JACKIE." he says in a ton of disgust. he then gets up, and takes his leave. Jackie taking his place in his seat. "Man, that sucks about Star, was really hoping she'd stay a while, this school won't be near as much fun without her..." Marco then proceeds to mumble something to himself, not even noticing Jackie's words, he says. "Ugh I shouldn't have gone on that date..." Jackie looks to him with a shocked expression.

"I'm sorry?..." Marco groans. "Oh Jackie I-...I didn't mean it like that it's just... I missed this thing I do with Star every week, she was really disappointed and now she's gone..." Jackie places an arm around him. "Hey dude, it's not like you could've known that she was about to head home right?..what about the book? did you guys ever?..." Marco replies. "No..she says she can find it on her own, I hope she's right...I just...ugh I feel like I let her down..." Jackie smiles. "Well if it helps...you sure didn't let me down, I had tons of fun last night, I had no idea you could dance like that, if I had I wouldn't have left the school dance with you that night..." Marco sighs. "Thanks Jackie..." she smiled. "Hey, no problem dude." she then gave him a quick kiss. "Anyway I'm gonna go practice my skateboarding some mor-...dude?" she noticed once she kissed him, Marco couldn't stop staring at the sky. he rubbed his eyes, as if he thought he saw a ghost. she exclaimed

"Dude!" he gasped. "Gah-..whoa uh..sorry...yeah I'll...see you later Jackie.." she looked a bit confused, but left on her skateboard.

Day 5:
Marco was sitting inside his home alone, contemplating something, tapping his foot on the couch, he looked as if he was awaiting something. finally, Ferguson walked in, with a smug look on his face. "Well well well...look who came craaawling back to me." Marco ran over to him, and grabbed him by the arms. "Ferguson! listen to me, I need to ask you a very important question...and you have to promise to answer it honestly okay?!" Ferguson nods incredibly confused, and Marco then says. "If I told you I saw a Blood Moon..in broad daylight, would you think I'm crazy?!"

Ferguson thinks for a moment. "Well considering we've seen way weirder...not really. but considering no one else saw anything of the sort..yes." Marco sighs. "There's gotta be some sort of explanation for this!" Ferguson replies. "Whoa whoa, so you actually saw a Blood Moon in broad daylight?...wow...um..okay..I'm just gonna-" Marco screams. "AAAGH...And this isn't even the first time either, this is the second time I've seen a Blood Moon when there wasn't one!...What if it's trying to tell me something?!" Ferguson replied again.

"Whoa dude calm down!...I'm sure there's a logical explanation, but the Moon can't...tell you something..you know that right?..it's just the Moon. But I mean... Blood Moons do have a lot of symbolism in regards to the apocalypse, witchcraft, the undead, demons-" Marco sighed. "...The Blood Moon Ball..." Ferguson continues "And in alchemy they also represent-" suddenly, a random Janna appears.

"Did someone say witchcraft, undead, demons, alchemy and the like?! Why look no further!" she quickly pulls out an ancient looking book from beneath Marco's couch, and reads into it. "*AHEM*...The Blood Moon in Alchemy is-" Ferguson starts to speak. "What's she doing here?" Marco groans. "I wish I knew..." Janna scoffs. "Well if you don't want to know what's wrong with you, then I won't. tell you." Marco sighs. "No...come on Janna..please...teeeell me what's wrong with me." Janna smiles. "Well if you insist..." she then reads into it again. "The Blood Moon in religion and cultures can represent many things, the end, the beginning, the metal of Platinum, the Rise of the dead, marriage, but what it also represents, is a Guide. it is said those who have had the honor of standing beneath the Blood Moon's unique radiance, it will guide through life. if the Blood Moon believes someone is making a mistake, it will guide you into the right choice of action." Ferguson laughs.

"Haha, okay, I stand corrected, it IS trying to tell you something." Janna slams the book shut. "Obviously. so Marco..when did you stand under the light of the Blood Moon?" Marco sighs. "Ugh...there was this demon party called the Blood Moon Ball. I sort of showed up and ruined Star's date with this demon guy named Tom...it's uh..it's a long story...a mistake huh?..what kind of mistake?"

Janna shrugs. "It could be any kind of mistake really...Wow she went on a date with a demon?..do you happen to have his number?" Marco starts to speak, but Ferguson replies crossing his arms in a grumpy fashion. "Maybe that mistake is ignoring your best buddy..." Marco replies shocked. "Ferguson..you know what I think you're right." Ferguson smiles smugly. "Hey it's ok Marco, I know you didn't mean it.."

Marco slams his right fist into his left palm. "It's because I was ignoring Star..ugh how could I have I been so stupid?...after all, it makes sense! Star was under the Blood Moon's light when I was!" Ferguson sighs. "Of course..." as Janna once again opens and shuffles through her book. "Huh?...are..are you sure Star was under the light with you?..." Marco ignores Janna's question. pondering his thoughts for a moment. "I should go see her right n-..." Janna raised an eyebrow.

"What? what is it?" Marco sighed. "It's nothing it's just...Star made me promise not to use her dimensional scissors unless it was for an emergency...so I guess I won't be visiting her..." Ferguson pats his back. "Hey it'll be ok man, why don't you and me go get a smoothie or-..." Marco sighs again. "...I have a date with Jackie tonight...I'll..I'll see you guys later." Marco walks upstairs to get his suit. Ferguson once again feels ignored, sighing loudly exclaims. "What a turd..." Janna laughing. "I know right?"

We flash forward a bit, and see Marco sitting on at a table having dinner with Jackie in some fancy restraunt, she begins to talk about the establishment. "Dude I can't believe you got us into this place, y'know I'm not usually a huge fan of places like this, but the fact you were able to get us into this place is amazing. this must have cost you what?..600 dollars to get in?!" She exclaimed as Marco just stared longlingly into a cup of hot chocolate, circling the spoon throughout the cup.

Jackie waved at him. "Dude?..you ok?" he jerked back into reality. "Oh! hey sorry, I...my mind was a little distracted..you were saying?" Jackie sighed. "Dude, is something up? You've been acting...really strange lately...it doesn't feel like you've been listening to a word I say..." Marco sighed. "I'm sorry Jackie I've been...my head's really loopy tonight..." Jackie replied. "Dude is this still about Star? I mean I get it if you felt bad for ditching her, but you don't..you don't blame me do you?"

Marco replied. "What? No. no no you didn't know about-..it's not your fault. I just...I can't help but feel like there's some other reason she left... she had been kinda distant from me beforehand, ever since the night Ludo stole the spellbook...I'm sorry I know I shouldn't be-..." suddenly, Marco feels a red light in his eyes.

"Agh-" as he looks to a window directly behind Jackie, he sees the shining light of the Blood Moon. "...What are you trying to tell me?!" he exclaims loudly, Jackie stares. "Marco dude calm down! what's wrong?!" Marco gets off out from the table, and begins to walk off covering his eyes. right as he does, the Waiter appears with the meal. "Something Miss?.." Jackie groans. "Excuse me one moment." she follows after him, eventually catching up. "Marco dude what was that about?! is Marco Jr. back?!" Marco groans. "Don't call him that! the Naysaya is long gone, it's...it's...I think...I think I'm seeing things..." Jackie sighs, putting her arm on his shoulder. "Hey, if you wanna go home and call it a day that's...that's alright, it... seems like you've got a lot on your mind." she replied Marco sighs. "I'll...I'll see you later..." and walks off. Marco had felt at this point he completely ruined his date with Jackie.
