Chapter 1-A Rude Awakening

Marco sat in his room in castle butterfly, star had done a good job in making it, it was an exact replica of his room on earth save for one detail, A view of mewni. The skyline stretched for miles to the horizon with a pink hue that reminded Marco of cherry blossoms, below the town and it's townsfolk were getting ready for the day, market stalls opening as merchants showed off their wares, although Marco noted that most of them either sold corn or Princess butterfly merchandise. Speaking of which, where was Star? Marco knew it was early but he'd grown accustomed to waking up early as her squire, especially since Star, in her natural way, insisted on starting each morning by kicking the door down with a large smile on her face. The first time Marco wasn't prepared and she'd almost seen him in an embarrasing state, Marco blushed thinking about it, he still hadn't told Star how he felt especially since she started dating Tom. He often wondered if she still felt the same way and if this Tom thing was just a way to get over it, but he daren't bring himself to ask such a thing of his best friend.

Just as soon as the thought occured there was a loud crash as the door flew off its hinges and out of the window, a faint cry was heard from a startled villager as Star burst through the opening. "Mooorning Marcoo!" Shouted Star in her usual overly excited tone, She was brandishing her wand with a large smile on her face, the kind Star only had when she was up to something "How's my favourite squire this morning?".

Marco sighed "Yknow Star, you're really gonna have to stop kicking my door down, I think you almost hurt one of the villagers this time" Marco looked out of the window concerned to see a grumbling villager walk away from the door in what was clearly not a happy mood. "Oh Marco it's fiiine, besides you know you love it" Star said with a thin flirtatious smile on her face, "Well...errm" Marco looked away to hide that he was blushing, "look at least knock first okay, we don't want a situation like we had a few weeks ago"

"Oh...yeah" Star said also looking away, her hearts glowing, "sorry about that I didn't realise". "It's fine Star, anyway what do you have planned for today?".

With that Star's hearts faded and she regained her mischevious grin "Well my young squire I feel it is my duty as your princess and therefore future queen to introduce you the art of magic".

Marco paused "But..Star I've seen you do magic lots of times" he said confused at the prosepect, sure Marco had performed the all seeing eye spell once but that he assumed was mostly the wand and she wasn't giving him the wand, was she? "Oh Marco, most knights of Mewni can use basic magic to help them in combat, it is my job to teach you as my squire how to perform spells that you will one day use to protect yourself" She paused looking away almost whispering "..and me..".

"Oh cool!" Shouted Marco "You mean I can use magic without borrowing your wand!?"

"Well yes, but its not nearly as strong as the wand's magic abilities, they're mostly just basic spells for attack and defence yknow?" Star said flourishing the wand as she spoke, a habit she picked up since recieving it.

Star walked over to her squire holding her hand out "your dimensional scissors please bestie", Marco handed them over and Star cut a portal into the air "Follow me" As she stepped through the portal Marco thought for a moment, He wondered if he could do this for the rest of his life, essentially playing third wheel to the girl he loved and Tom whom he did not beleive was right for Star despite their friendship, shaking the thoughts off he stepped through the portal "Questions for anouther day" he muttered.
