"AND STAY THE HELL OUT!?"

Marco Diaz was walking home when he passed by a house with the front door being shut on a girl his age. Something told him to stop and ask the girl if she was OK "You good over there?"

The blonde headed girl started to pull her very large trunk with ease while staring at the ground "I… I don't know where to go?" She said softly not looking up to him.

He crossed his arms over his chest "look… I don't do this very often but, you want to talk about it?" Marco started to starch the band-aid over his left cheek.

"No… not really…" She looked at him and wonders why he was wearing a black jacket over a red hoodie in this hot weather.

"Ok then, good luck" he shoved his hands in the jacket pocket and started to walk away until.

"WAIT… ummmmm I'm not from around here. Do… do you know a place I can live in for a while?" The girl didn't have a clue what she was doing. Marco looked like a troublemaker but at least he tried to be nice to her.

"Are you hungry?"

She looked at him confused until she heard her stomach roar loud enough for him to hear, her face went red as she looked down at the ground again "Just a little bit…"

"OK, let's find a place to hide whatever the hell you got in that thing and get something to eat" he points at the trunk.

"Sure" She pulled out her magic wand and made it disappear in a puff of pink glitter.

Marco's jaw hit the ground "That's not wired… or anything"

"I told you, I'm not from around here…" She gave him a weak smile.

"No shit, you got a name" He recovered from her little show.

"My name is Star… Princess Star Butterfly from the Mewni dimensions" She would have whipped up a rainbow over her head but the last one burst into flames.

"Star huh, it really suits you well. My name is Marco, let's get out of here" He turned his back on her and started to walk as she followed.

Emilio's Pizza

"THIS… IS… SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD!? How in the world do you know this place?" Star was having a blast eating her first pizza.

Marco smiled at her with how childish she is "I work at this place every now and then for some quick cash, best pizza in town"

Star picked up her third slice and cherishes every bite she had taken "Thank you… for this… today hasn't gone according to plan at all"

"Don't sweat it, I know how it feels to have a really bad day" Marco threw his arms on the headrest and kept a close eye on Star.

"Yeah… but I need to find a new guide to help me live on Erath or-" Star stopped talking when she saw Marco tapping his hands all over his body.

*Space unicorn, Soaring through the stars, Delivering the rainbows all around the world*

Star dropped her pizza on the plate surprised by the catchy jingle.

He finally found his phone and embarrassed he forgot to put it on vibrate "Hey mom?"

"Hi mio, why are you not home yet?" Miss. Diaz knew he would get into trouble if someone didn't keep tabs on him.

"Oh about that, I meet a girl that was having a bad day. She was kicked out from the home she was living in so we are getting something to eat right now" Marco loved his mother and she was one of the few people that believed he was still a good person.

"That sounds like a date to me buddy" Miss. Diaz knows he's a ladies' man just like his father.

"MOM?!" Marco's face went red.

Star jumped a little after hearing him yell. Marco saw this and waved his hand at her to say everything was OK.

"I'm just kidding, where do you plan on taking her?" She loved when he would stop acting like a hard ass all the time.

Marco started to starch his band aid again "I really don't know, maybe the girls home outside of town? That's the only place I can think of"

"Is she a trouble maker?" She had to be sure he wasn't around other people that would make Marco be… well, kind of an asshole that loves to fight.

"No, I don't think so, maybe an exchange student?" He looked at Star as she tilted her head looking back at him.

"Marco Ubaldo Diaz… bring her home and we'll see what we can do. The girl's home is one step away from being a prison" If Marco was willing to give this girl a chance, then she must have really been in trouble.

"You sure mom…? I have no clue what kind of person she is" Marco didn't like the thought of a stranger in his home.

"Then get to know her young man, love you BYE"

The phone went dead as Marco pulled it from his ear and looked at it.

"Is… is everything OK?" Star had no clue what just happened.

"Yeah… I think… my mom said to bring you home with me…" Marco was looking at the pizza on her plate when he said that with a confused look on his face.

Star eyes went wide as her smile grew just as big before jumping over the table and locking him in a tight hug "I'll do anything to stay with you… please don't send me off"

Marco threw his hands up not knowing what to do. Everyone at the school knew to stay away from him but this girl, she didn't know who he was, or his pass. She was just happy to meet someone that didn't slam a door on her as soon as they meant.

Slowly he wrapped his arms around her "Well since you asked so nicely" Her strawberry smell was starting to make him light-headed.

"I swear I won't mess up this time" Star held him even tighter.

Marco couldn't handle it anymore "you don't have to worry about that, just be yourself" he didn't know what he was saying but knew it was the right thing to say.

She pulled away and looked him in the eyes "You mean it…? I mean… I'm not from this world"

He looked at her enjoying her arms around his neck "Don't turn me into a frog and we'll be OK"

They started to laugh and she looked into his eyes "I was scared of you when we meant… but I'm glad you were there when I was kicked out that house"

"I have a thing for blondes and blue eyes kill me" After Marco knew what he said both hands meet his mouth with a loud smack.

"What does that mean" Star wanted to play dumb for him.

"NOTHING… NOTHING AT ALL…" He yelled between his fingers with his eyes shut tight.

"Fine then… you mind if we go to your home?" Star went back over to her side and finished the slice she was working on.

"Ummmm sure… yeah..." Marco tried to fix his long brown hair to look cool again.

"What the hell is this girl doing to me?! I just looked into her eyes and spilled my guts out to her…" He started to sweat a little as she looked back him with a cute smile on her face.

"I'll be back… don't go anywhere and stay away from my last slice" He had his finger pointed at her and then ran off into the bathroom.

"BUT I WANT MORE!?" Star barked at him as he ran.

Bathroom

"OK Diaz… just stay claim. She's just a girl… with long blond hair with the sexist devil horns on top… she's completely normal… besides the pink hearts on her pretty face and the wand thingy… she's just a cute girl…. that doesn't give a shit about my past… did I just say cute?" His right palm made contact with his forehead in a loud smack.

Pizzeria

Star was staring really hard at Marco's pizza until two other boys walked up to her table and take his slice. "But… that was Marco's"

"What are you doing hanging with that guy? Don't you know who he is?" The tall jock said with a mouth full of food spitting at Star's face.

"Why don't you come with us baby, we can show you a better time than that loser" The jocks gave each other a high-five.

Bathroom

Marco splashes some water on his face and looks in the mirror "Go out there and try not to make an ass out of yourself again" He dries off his face and kicks the bathroom door open. Walking back he finds two males getting into Star's face.

"Marco… try not to break anything or you'll be working for free" Emilio knew him as a kid and also knew how much Marco loves a good fight.

"But you're getting ready to change out the tables, just one please?" He claps his hands together in front of his chest.

"Fine… but your cleaning up when you're done"

"You got it" Marco walked away and started to crack his knuckles.

"I think she doesn't want to talk to us Jim… maybe we should make her scream" The jock reached his hand for Star's chin until a foot smashed into his face sending him to the ground.

"I wouldn't if I was you" Marco's foot was still in the same spot in the air as he slowly brought it back to the ground.

Before anything else could be said, the jock that was on the ground rammed Marco into the table behind him.

Star raised her wand into the air but Marco stopped her "Don't, I got this" He wrapped his hands together and lifted it over his head, with all his strength it made contact with the center of the jock's spine.

Marco felt the grip around him loosen as he held the jock by the back of the head and started to knee him in the face three times until he was standing on his feet again. "So glad you guys showed up when you did"

The jock was trying to shake off the stars around his head until he seen a fist crash into his face sending him into the table behind him and destroying it.

"THAT'S THE ONLY ONE DIAZ" Emilio was enjoying the show as he cleaned the counter top.

The second jock jumped into the fight now, Star couldn't take her eyes off Marco and how smooth and flawless his fighting style was. Her hearts started to glow in light pink "He's… he's really good…" Her face crept up into a creepy smile now looking at his butt.

In no time the two jackwagons were out cold and he made his way back to Star "Ummmm Star?"

She looked up to him dreamy like until he started to snap his fingers in front of her face "Huh what? I WASN'T STARING AT YOUR BUTT…"

The pizzeria went quite "I didn't say you were… I was going to ask if your wand can get those fuck boys out of here and clean up my mess…"

Her face went red "Yeah… totally,totally,totally…" Star said quickly as she stood up and walked passed him to clean up.

Marco watches her and even deiced to take a peek at her butt "Not bad"

The mess was cleaned up and Marco walks out eating a free slice for cleaning up "That wand of yours is pretty cool"

Star was half listening to him but kept her eyes more on the pizza "Yeah… it's pretty awesome…"

He looks at her from the corner of his eye and moves the pizza out in front of him to see her head more with it "You look like you would enjoy this more" He gave her the slice.

"Thanks… I think I'm kinda addicted to this stuff now" She wolfed down the pizza in one bite.

"I think I created a monster…" They start to laugh together.

They kept walking and enjoying the quite "Hey… what did those guys back there mean by 'don't you know who he is' Marco?"

He looked off to the side "I'll tell you later when your all settled at home"

She gave him a question looked but listen and dropped the subject.

Diaz Residence

"OK Star, here we are… your new home" He opened the front door and let her in.

Star loved everything about his house, how warm it felt, the smell and even how it made her feel deep inside. "Marco… this is really great…"

She kept walking around aimlessly until she bumped into an older woman.

"So you're the young woman my son told me about" Miss. Diaz looked down at her with a smile.

"Oh excuse me… sorry about that…" She looked embarrassed for a moment.

"It's ok dear, my name is Miss. Diaz but you can call me Angie if you like" The older woman guided Star to the sofa to have a seat.

"Sweetheart, can you get us something to drink" She looked up to her son.

"Sure mom" Marco walked into the kitchen.

"Hi Miss. Diaz… I'm Star Butterfly… I really want to thank you for letting me come home with Marco" Star looked down to her hands on her lap.

"Don't worry about it Star, this house could use a new face in it. Just try to stay out of trouble and double for Marco" She started to giggle as Star joined her.

"What's so funny?" He walked in with the drinks for everybody as he bent over in front of them as he placed the items on the coffee table.

"Oh nothing, we were just talking about how cute your butt is" Angie gave a serious look until she started to laugh again.

Star's face went red again as she started to look at his rear end again.

Marco quickly placed both hands to cover his butt and sat in the chair across them "MOM…"

"It's not like I'm lying or anything, look at her face" His mother couldn't stop it when she was on a roll.

Star's hearts started to glow again.

"Wow… I thought those things on your face was makeup…" Marco leaned forward to get a better look which only made the hearts on Star's face glow more.

"Ummmmm no… hehehe… it's the mark of royalty" She felt like her face was ready to burst.

"Royalty? So you're a…" Angie was surprised when she heard that.

"Princess Star Butterfly…"

Just needed to give myself a small brake from Welcome Home.
