Authors Note

So this is my fist every story (yay!). I'm new to this so it might take a while for me to get used to the system. I will accept reviews and will try my best to listen to constructive criticism! This story takes place in the cannon universe and will contain starco later on. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I did writing and so without further ado here it is The Diaz Family Road Trip!

Pancakes and Mewni Style Trailers

Golden sunlight flowed through stars curtains illuminating the dim room. Star awoke with a yawn and rolled over in bed. To her it was just any old normal day but for the rest of the Diaz's it was anything but. Yes unknown to her today was packing day for the Diaz Family Road Trip! A grand adventure crossing hundreds of miles and tomorrow they set off. Star crawled out of bed eyes blinking open, she smelt the sugary temptation of pancakes wafting through her room and followed the smell downstairs.

Marco awoke in daze still half dreaming. After waking up a bit more he glanced at the calendar, "tomorrows the day!" He said to himself while stepping out of bed. His stomach rumbled demanding food, so he complied to its request and headed for downstairs for breakfast.

As Marco walked down the stairs he paused to look at the scene taking place, it was so... perfect. Star sat eagerly awaiting breakfast with a smile plastered on her face, Marcos mother was cooking away and his father was beside her squeezing fresh orange juice, both chattering away in delight. Marco let out a contented breath and a small smile appeared on his lips, everything was the way it should be.

Star noticed Marco and called to him "Morning Marcooooo!" She sang enthusiastically. Marco just laughed headed down to sit beside her.

"So mom what's for breakfast?" Marco asked rubbing his eyes.

"Just my world famous pancakes!" His mother replied swinging around to show a plate full of piping hot fresh baked pancakes!

Star squealed "Awesome!"

Mrs Diaz placed them in the centre of the table as Mr Diaz poured everyone orange juice.

"Dig in!" Mr Diaz exclaimed.

But just before Star could get her hands on some of the deliciousness sitting in front of her, Marco stopped her. She sat there staring at him with a look of confusion and horror while Marco on the other hand sat there grinning.

"Star your a betting girl..." he began

This made her smile competitively.

"What did you have in mind?..." She asked slyly.

Marco looked at her with a devious glint in his eye.

"What to you say we make a little deal hmmmm?"

"Go on..."

"Do you think you could eat more pancakes then i can?"

"Pffff! You? Eat more pancakes then me? In your dreams!"

"So are you up for it?"

"What are the stakes?"

Marco smoothly slid 5 dollars onto the table; Star grinned and did the same.

"I'm in." She said stacking pancakes on her plate.

"I have to warn you Star I'm pretty hungry." He said while cracking his knuckles.

"Well I'll have you know I LOVE pancakes."

They both stared at each other competitively, stacks of pancakes drizzled with sugary syrup on their plates.

"First one to eat all of the pancakes wins!" Marco exclaimed brown eyes locked onto her blue ones.

"You're on!" Star replied not shifting her gaze.

"Mom if you will do the honors." Marco asked.

Mr and Mrs Diaz had been eating and enjoying the show taking place in front of them, it was quite entertaining!

Mrs Diaz swallowed and cleared her throat "Three... Two... One... Go!"

Marco and Star dove into their plates like wild animals, syrup and pancake bits went everywhere! Mr and Mrs Diaz watched laughing. Marco pulled ahead and Star noticed this, determined to win (not because of the money but because she rather enjoyed having bragging rights against Marco) sped up and just beat him by a quarter of a pancake! After both sat their laughing, mouths full of pancake.

"And the winner is..." Mr Diaz trailed off.

"Star!" Mrs Diaz yelled

Star jumped up raising her arms in triumph "Ha, Ha! I win!" She then proceeded to scoop up her winnings and rub them in Marcos face.

Marco rolled his eyes and smiled "Laugh it up now princess but be warned I'm not going so easy on you next time!"

Star scoffed "Ha ya right, going easy!" She said voice lathered in sarcasm.

They both are laughing when Mrs Diaz speaks up.

"Marco are you going to tell star the thing?"

"The thing?" Star questioned innocently while looking at Marco

"Oh ya I almost forgot!"

He continued "Star, we are going on a road trip!"

"A road trip?"

"Ya it's like when we take our trailer hook it up and drive someplace far away, its just like camping but on the move!"

"You mean to tell me we will be driving hundreds of miles in cramped car with minimal leg room and a trailer only to stop late at night in some random location where we sleep for a bit and then start the journey all over again?... SOUNDS AWESOME!" Star shouted with huge smile.

"Here i will show you the trailer!" Marco said grabbing Star's hand

The two headed into the garage. Marco flicked on the light. It sat there in all its glory, beige and brown mutely gleaming in the light pale yellow light.

"Huh i can work with this..." Star stated whilst chewing on her wand.

"Wait Star what are you doi-" he was cut off by the bright glow of Stars wand and her saying "Super glitter rainbow mewni trailer transform!"

A bright flash of light and glitter engulfed the room. As the sparkly dust cleared he could see it, it was now bright teal blue with a pastel rainbow stripe ribboning around the centre. The inside had changed to fit the style too, it was now basically Star's room on wheels (still the same original size though).

"STAAAAAAR!" Marco shouted

Star looked over at him sheepishly, worry evident on her face. Marco slowly turns with a glare on his face that all of the sudden shifts to a smile.

"I love it!"

Star let out a breath she forgot she was holding and laughed with relief.

"Yea i think my work here is done!" Star proudly boasted

"Well i like it." Marco paused then continued "But what are mom and dad going to say?" Worry crossing his face

Just then Mr and Mrs Diaz come in to check what the noise was that came for the garage.

Mr Diaz's voice ringed into the culprits ears "Star, Marco, what's going on?"

Star and Marco glance at each other in horror. The sound of the door opening fills the air and they turnaround to see Mr and Mrs Diaz mouths agape and staring at the trailer.

"Star did you do this?..." Mrs Diaz spoke.

"Well ummmm... Ya but i didn-" Star is cut off by Mr Diaz's rambling.

"Its, Its..."

The tension is killing Star. "It's ruined? Awful? Unusable? Come on just tell me already!" She thinks to herself

"...Amazing!" He finally lets out

Star lets out a breath she forgot she was holding, again. Now Mrs Diaz chimes in.

"Look Marco now we can travel mewni style!"

Marco laughs "I wonder want the others are going to think!"

"The others?" As far as she could remember Star was told of no others.

Marco face palmed "Oh duh, I totally forgot to tell you, the whole point of this road trip is that we are going to a family wedding, my uncle Donato is getting married!"

"My little brother is finally getting married!" Tears welling up in Mr Diaz's eye.

"Yes, which means you have to pack some fancy clothes for the wedding!" Mrs Diaz continues.

Fancy cloths... Star goes back to a all to recent memory, the blood moon ball. Marco did look dashing that night, she had forgiven him but it was a subject they didn't like to talk about. She wondered if she would get to dance with him again... if her luck ran well he might where that mask again to. When he swept her off her feet warring that mask she couldn't help but fall for the mysterious stranger behind it, when it turned out to be Marco she almost fell over, the man behind that masks dance moves did not resemble Marco's usual awkward take on life. She still hadn't fully resolved her feelings for him since then.

"Speaking of packing cloths that's probably what we should be doing!"Marco proclaimed

Star snapped back to reality and nodded and they headed up stairs.

"Now remember Star only bring the necessities! Clothes, your wand charger, toothbrush, toothpaste etcetera and maybe some stuff to keep you entertained while on the road."

Star dismissed him with a wave of the hand "Ya ya I got this!"

Meanwhile in another dimension...

A portal ripped open in the centre of Ludo's throne room and out walked Buff Frog. He did his classic ribbit salute, "Master Ludo! Star and the Karate boy's family are going on a road trip!"

Ludo turned his throne around "A road trip you say... This could be just what we need!" He said while rubbing his hands together maniacally. "While they're distracted we can steal the wand!"

"Ahahaha Star won't have that wand for long!" Ludo threatened jumping off his throne, "I'm coming for you Star Butterfly!"

Back on earth...

After all packing their cloths and such the day had been pretty busy, Mr Diaz checked the car and trailer to make sure everything was ready to go and set up. Mrs Diaz had spent the day packing food and all other things they would need while on the road. Star had followed Marco to the store to pick up some extra stuff for their trip.

The two were walking back to the house while carrying the bags of stuff.

"I wonder why Ludo hasn't attacked already? You think he would show up by now, he's 3 hours late!" Star said glancing at Marco.

"Ya that's kinda weird, what is he planning..." Marco trailed off.

They got home and slouched onto the soft blue couch and watch some mind numbing tv for the last time before they left.

Later that night the whole family huddled together around a map on the kitchen table. Mr Diaz went over the plan and where they were going. Star just sat there pretending to know what was going on (apparently they are heading to a place called Montana? She had no idea where or what that was) after, everybody got ready for their last night at home, soon they would be on the road!

Star sat in her room bubbling from excitement, as she closed her eyes she thought of what adventures they would encounter. She yawned and with that fell asleep because who knew what tomorrow had in store...

And that's it the first Chapter! What is Ludo planning... Anyways please review i would really appreciate it and i hope to update soon see you in the next chapter!
