Content warning: SFW. I repeat, this chapter is SFW (except perhaps because of teenagers saying 'fuck' a lot). My deepest apologies, and I assure you we will return to your regularly scheduled fuckfest in Chapter 5.

----------

The next morning had been majorly awkward. Marco had arrived when Star was having breakfast. She had been slowly nursing her cereal while sitting in front of their TV set. Her thoughts left her with little appetite, so it had been slow going. She had been sitting there for half an hour and still was only halfway through the bowl when Marco showed up. He seemed to avoid looking at her, and Star was having trouble with how to act.
"Hey, good morning, Marco!" she said, hoping she sounded cheerful enough. It tore at her heart to pretend that last night had not happened. But, she realized, to him, it hadn't. None of it. Not her spell, nor her weird dream. She had decided it was unlikely that it had truly been his dream, it must have been just Star's own mind playing cruel tricks on her. "Hope you had a fun date with Jackie last night..."
"Ah, ehem, yeah, watched a movie," he replied. Should Star tease him on that? He had arrived the next morning! Even without spying on him, she should suspect he had stayed at Jackie's place, and tease him. It was the proper friend reaction. Maybe it would be suspicious that she didn't. Then again, what if it wasn't obvious from just when he came back? What if he lied about it and then Star had to walk the fine line between not believing him, but also not not-believing him too strongly, since she wasn't supposed to know for certain and... "Hopefully you weren't too bored without me around, Star, heh."
"Me? Bored? Pfff! No way!" Nice save, Marco. Now I pretend your little distraction worked and we don't need to get into the topic. But, well, what to talk about instead? Every topic that came to the princess' mind was related to her feelings for him or to her overwhelming guilt over the last twelve hours. She supposed she could mention Tom showing up, but what if Marco pressed for details, or insisted on going after the demon? Yeah, that would be totally awesome, Marco chases Tom to hell to let him have it for creeping into his best friend's room at night, and Tom just calmly explains to him what kind of per...son Star really is. No, no thanks. "So... see ya later, best bud. I have plans, to go to the mall, with Janna! Yeah! So, later!"
The weird thing was Marco had seemed as relieved as she had been when she actually headed out. Was he really that nervous to admit he had slept with Jackie? Most guys in school would be bragging about that. Maybe he just didn't want to brag to Star? Or maybe... did he remember the dream?
Star waved her magic wand to summon her trusty friend cloudy. She hopped right in and waited until she had put some distance between her and the Diaz's home before dialing. "Hey, Janna banana, want to go shopping right now and pretend we had planned to do that all along since well, about two hours before this conversation happened?" she spoke quickly into her phone as she floated towards the mall.
Janna's response had been far more laconic, "Sure, Star."
----
Eventually, after a few hours of browsing randomly at the mall, they had ended up at Janna's place. The room shared the girl's aesthetic: mostly black metal band posters, a glass box containing her pet snake, three skulls, plenty of candles and weird looking talismans, a wardrobe full of mostly greens and blacks, Marco's library card on top of the bedside table, a large bookshelf full of old poetry books, and, perhaps most surprisingly, bright pink bedsheets. There were also a pair of fettered chains that Janna had asked Star to magic up, attached to one of the walls. When the princess had asked what Janna wanted those for, she had just winked and then made up a story about them being decorative. She had insisted on a key for them and having them be functional, though.
"Ok, Star, so, I believe this is the part where I ask what was really going on this morning." Janna said with a shrug, as they both sat on the floor.
"Janna... well, I kinda do need to tell this whole mess to someone, because I am afraid I will go crazy otherwise or do something... extreme." Janna raised an eyebrow. Star Butterfly had once placed mines in a football field, and she routinely blasted people with horned whales. She was not about to judge, but she was not sure she wanted to know what her friend considered extreme.
"Calm down, Star, you can tell me anything." Besides, she loved secrets. She knew most of Marco's. She had managed to extract some very juicy stuff from Jackie over the years too, despite how private the skateboarding girl suddenly became when you dug pass the first few layers of relatively tame secrets. She also knew all about Ferguson's obsession with furry porn, which was just a bit more than even she wanted to know. So really, nothing Star could tell her should be able to shock her. Then again, this was Star we were talking about. She ventured a hopeful guess, "You killed a person and need help hiding the body?"
"What? No! But, Janna, I really need you to swear an oath, on your life, that you will not repeat to any living soul what I am about to say..." Whoa, Star seemed serious. Which meant, this was going to be seriously juicy stuff. No way Janna could say no to that!
"Sure, I swear." Star seemed to look at her expectantly. "Ok, ok... Star Butterfly of Mewni, I swear to thee on my life that I shall not speak of what you are about to tell me with any other living soul. How was that?"
"Well, my mom would have some corrections on the wording. And the 'thee' is a bit unnecessary. But you know what? It is good enough for me!" Star seemed excited, she took a deep breath and then... "So-last-night-Marco-and-Jackie-were-out-on-a-date-and-I-was-bored-and-they-said-they-were-only-going-to-the-movies-so..."
Janna nodded and said 'aha' at all the right moments. Except for that, it took all of her concentration to keep up with the hundred miles per hour of Star's tale. She thought she had managed to understand most of it, although the princess herself seemed confused about what had happened with the whole dream bit. Well, that part probably mattered very little, actually. Her mind began running through the possible courses of action once it seemed clear that Star's tale was drawing to a close. Of course, the easiest would be to tell Star to forget all about her crush, but that would not be fun at all. Besides, given what she just heard, Janna did not think suppressing the feelings and waiting for them to go away was going to work for Star.
"Ok, so, you are in love with Marco, right?" she confirmed the obvious.
"Well, I wouldn't say 'in love', he is a great friend, and he is cute, and I might have the teensyest, tiniest crush on him..." Star corrected her, unconvincingly.
"Do you want to date him, or do you mostly want to fuck him?" After all, one was easier than the other.
"Janna!" Star reacted in embarrassment. Then placed one hand under her chin and seemed to ponder for a second, "Well, since you are bound by an oath of secrecy and all... I think I want both. Perhaps I'd really settle for the second one right now. Maybe just that would be enough to, you know, get over the whole thing, then go back to the way things were before. But, Janna, he is with Jackie! And he loves Jackie, and she loves him back. Even if I could compete... which, I don't think I could... I don't want to ruin that for him!"
"Ok, so the priority is that Marco should not be hurt by this, correct?" Janna asked and Star nodded. She ignored Star's assessment of her competitive chances for now. Honestly, the princess probably had more cards to play there than she realized, but it would not matter unless she had the guts to go for the kill. "How about Jackie? How much do you care about her getting hurt?"
"Janna! Jackie is my friend too, and she is not doing anything wrong. Of course I don't want to hurt her!" Star seemed genuinely offended at Janna's question. The troublemaker girl smiled at that.
"Calm down, Star. Remember, Jackie is my friend too. Way before we two met. I am not sure I would even help you if you wanted her hurt... but it does complicate things." She thought about it some more. This was a significantly harder problem than, say, cracking Marco's latest computer password, but also more fun, and probably more rewarding. That guy was into some pretty vanilla porn anyways, so the best thing in his computer were actually his embarrassing childhood pictures and that cheesy poem about Jackie he wrote ages ago. "Ok, and you said Tom tried to manipulate you into going back with him, right? What about him? Do you care if he gets hurt?"
"No, of course I don..." Star hesitated. "Well, not like I care about Marco and Jackie. But I don't think I want to hurt him much either..."
"Any chance you want to go back to dating him instead of Marco?" Janna had to ask. It was the easiest solution in any case.
"Ugh, no way! I mean... maybe he is what I deserve, but, he is not what I want, ok?" Star looked down, guiltily.
"I mean, from your story it sounded like you regret not sleeping with him, Star," Janna commented, setting the bait. "The claws thing sounded wicked hot!"
"Oh, it was! Super hot. Way hot. But, well, Tom and I, is not really a good match, you know, as people..." Ok, ok, getting somewhere now.
"But you would still fuck him just the once if you could, right?" Check.
"What the hell, Janna!?" Pause. "Yeaah... I totally would." That was it! Checkmate!
"Ok, Star. I got it all figured out. I can't promise no one will get hurt, but it has the best chances to work for the best for all five people involved. Here is what you are going to do, you are going to get three concert tickets to that band Marco and you love so much, which is, coincidentally, coming to Echo Creek soon, and you are going to invite Marco. Then..." this was the delicate part, "... you are going to invite Jackie too!"
"What?!" Star's eyes went wide. "Oh, I see, maybe if I include her in our friendship I can make it up to her for, for spying on them and stuff..."
"Sure, you can think of it like that..." Janna ran with it. The plan would work best if Star was unaware of where things were going. Now Janna only had to make sure what she knew about Jackie was still current, maybe give a push or two to the other people involved. This was an ambitious plan, she knew, way more moving pieces than most of what she usually got up to and very little chance to influence things personally after they were set in motion. She knew that after Star left, she would have to run through the whole scenario a few times before she even called Jackie over to talk. And of course, it was not as if she could tell the other girl anything directly, an oath was an oath after all. Also, was she so sure that she could predict how he would react? She had some clue about it from what she knew from Marco, and what Star herself had just told her, but what if she got him all wrong?
"Hey, Janna... by the way... do you think I am a horrible person?" Star asked, suddenly teary eyed. What?! Janna was taken by surprise, her mind was elsewhere. Her train of thought was halfway across Siberia when it was forced to a screeching halt. Well, she could always plan the details later, right now she focused on her friend's question.
"What? No way, Star! You are sometimes a bit brash, sure, but you are one of the most pure hearted people I know!" Janna spoke truthfully.
"But, but I spied on Marco!"
"Who hasn't?"
"And had magical sex with him without his knowledge..."
"By accident!"
"And hurt Tom's feelings real bad..."
"After he tried to guilt trip you into dating him. If anything, he deserves far worse."
"And tried to seduce Marco..."
"In a dream," Janna concluded. "Star. Please. Based on the evidence presented I, as your judge, conclude that you might be a great rebel princess... but you suck at being a bad girl! Believe me! I mean, I actually am one, you know? You do not even qualify for consideration to the bad girl club." Janna tried her best to have Star not being that bad of a person sound like an insult. "Bad girl card application rejected! Try again never."
They looked at each other in silence for a moment, and then, both girls started laughing. Star seemed worlds more at ease now. Maybe calm enough to survive the next few weeks. Janna almost felt bad for what she knew Star would need to go through even if the plan succeeded.
----
Jackie made her way to the Diaz's home carrying two extra skateboards in her arms. She had spent the whole morning designing them and getting them printed by her uncle on his break. She was really excited about this, she had been since Star had called her and told her that Marco was inviting her to go to the Love Sentence concert, and whether she minded if Star went with them. Well, of course she didn't! She had made sure to have a skateboard for Star too, just to make sure she felt included.
It had been a few weeks already since she and Marco did it for the first time. Their dates ended at her place or his a lot more often now that they did before, but the requirement to keep things secret from their parents meant that they hadn't had any other opportunity to let themselves go at it quite like that time. Jackie got the feeling Marco's parents were mostly truly oblivious, and hers kinda ignored things in a way that required the two kids simply to maintain plausible deniability about what they were doing. But either way, they couldn't be quite as brazen or quite as loud as they had been that one time. Making out was easy, and some level of heavy petting was sometimes within reach, but sealing the deal required more privacy than they were usually afforded. Well, it was only a matter of waiting for another opportunity like that, when either set of parents went on vacation or something.
She pushed the doorbell and Star opened the door wearing a t-shirt with what seemed to be the three of them on it: Marco, Star and herself. "No way! You made concert tees?" for some reason, Jackie felt a jolt of joy and relief when she saw the funny t-shirts. So Star had included her on her design? Well, it made sense since they were all going together and they were all friends. But still, Jackie hadn't hung out much with Star since she started dating Marco. She had begun to worry that maybe Star resented her in some way deep inside. The tee gave her reason to believe that was not the case.
She traded gifts with the Mewman princess and went past her to say hi to Marco, who seemed to be struggling with his own t-shirt. Apparently Star hadn't taken into account that the boy was a bit larger of frame than the two girls and had simply made all tees the same. But honestly, Marco looked hilarious with the t-shirt and Jackie was not about to criticize Star's gift, so she just reassured Marco on it a little bit. Marco took a lot of reassurance, but he was cute, so she didn't mind.
Moments later, they were all skateboarding towards the arena. Well, she was skateboarding, Star was on her cloud, with the skateboard between her and the pink floating puffy critter. But hey, if it worked, it worked, and Jackie had to admit it looked pretty cool. Marco was, well, a bit behind them. But maybe that was good. This was Jackie's chance to ask Star a few things alone.
Of course, before she could bring herself to say anything beyond small talk, Marco ran over some baby ducks.
----
"So, Star, can I ask a random question?" Jackie finally worked up the courage to ask as they waited for Marco (and the ducks) to come out from the doctor's office. Sure, the doctor was a veterinarian, but she had agreed to look over his injuries too in a non-professional capacity, in case there was anything that needed someone else to look at him. "How do you feel about Marco?"
"What? What do you mean? I mean, he is my bestie!" Star reply had started in a note of shock, but ended cheerfully. After a pause she seemed to think a bit and add, "He is super awesome and you are a very lucky girl to have him. And he is lucky to have you too, of course!"
"Heh, Star, dude, I know. But well..." oh god, what was she saying? There was no way she was bringing this up, she just couldn't. "You two do a lot of stuff together, and have been to a lot of places, and have all sort of wacky cool adventures..."
"Awww. Yes, we do, sometimes. As friends, though! Best buds. That's us." The princess sounded nervous. Was she thinking that Jackie was accusing her of something? Or that she was being the jealous bitchy girlfriend that got between her boyfriend and his friends? Maybe she shouldn't have said anything. Star seemed to ponder for a while. "You know, Jackie, we can include you in our adventures too, if you want, of course... although it might get a bit weird, and a bit wild!"
"Well, I am fine with weird," Jackie managed to keep her cool. Understatement of the century. Right now, pink floating cloud or not, Jackie wondered if perhaps she wasn't so much weirder than Star, just based on the way she felt. "I mean, if you don't mind. If it's not weird to have me along."
"Whaaat? No way. Why would that be weird? That isn't weird. Not at all!" Star replied enthusiastically, although Jackie felt something was off. Maybe she imagined a twitch on the princess' left eye? "Marco would love it. You are always invited to tag along..."
"Then I do want to join you adventuring! Just some of the time, no pressure," Jackie said. It wasn't what she had wanted to ask. But it was close enough, for now. "You know something, Star?"
"Eh, what?" the princess replied reflexively.
"He is also very lucky to have you as well," Jackie said with a smile. She saw Star smile widely as well. But then, for a split second, she looked conflicted once more, almost... guilty. There was something Jackie was missing. She had thought Star might have feelings for Marco, but her reaction was off if that was simply the case. Maybe she and Marco had already done something she thought she ought to be ashamed of? But that couldn't be. Marco hadn't told Jackie anything that could have caused that, and the boy had the most transparent body language ever. He was literally too nervous to ever be capable of 'cheating'. So there was something else...
"The ducks will be fine!" explained the doctor, emerging through the back door, Marco walking all hunched up behind her. And with that, the conversation was over.
----
Jackie hadn't had another opportunity to talk to Star about anything significant before they got to the concert. They had gotten along pretty well after that, and bonded over releasing the ducks back to the Echo Creek, well, creek. Star had the most funny stories about the place, and Jackie had to wonder if even half of it was for real. Magic or no magic, Star's stories sounded too incredible to be fully true.
Oddly enough, it was Marco who had felt a bit left out there. Jackie was sure that was at least in part because he was bummed over the accident with the ducks. Well, as always, plenty of reassurance did the job. As well as an impromptu group hug instigated by Star.
Now they were finally there, sitting down as the stage lit for their favorite band. Marco was excited like a little kid in a candy shop, and Jackie couldn't take her eyes of him while he fanboyed about the teen band. Hell, the boys on the stage were the kind of guy Jackie daydreamed about just a year or so ago, and now she was paying more attention to the 'Safe Kid' sitting beside her. Not that Justin Towers wasn't dreamy, but well, he had nothing on her Marco.
Her favorite song started and she took her boyfriend by the hand, picking him up to start dancing, "Whoo! Dance with me, Diaz!"*
She didn't quite notice when Star grabbed Marco's hand. Or had it been the other way around? But somehow the three of them where soon bouncing to the rhythm. It was a bit weird, but not in a bad way. Then Marco turned away from her, and he and Star began lip syncing to the lyrics.
"It was no secret," Marco began.
"The way that we feel," Star continued.
"A love that's so pure."
"A love that's so real."
Jackie arched an eyebrow in surprise, but they weren't looking at her, and she wasn't about to interrupt them. Sure, the song was ostensibly, if only barely so, about friendship. But it was also about falling in love, romantic love, with your best friend, or at least that's how Jackie had always interpreted it. Despite Marco's protests, he and Star had a very strong kind of chemistry, one that didn't exactly spell friends. You needed to be blind not to see it, and Jackie always considered herself fairly good at observing people.
"You showed me your world and it felt like a sign."
Star had taken Marco outside of Earth, into other dimensions. Of course, she had also taken the whole school once, but him she took every week. What had she shown him? And, wasn't Marco showing Star Earth too?
"But you acted too slow and you ran out of ti-ii-me."
Jackie's eyes went wide. Did Marco not realize what he was saying? If Star did have a crush on him, even if he did not, then that was...
"And now we'll be..." they both sang as the reached the chorus.
"Just friends"
"We will be"
"Just friends"
Jackie wasn't sure what to feel. She held on to Marco's hand, but he wasn't there, not really. He and Star seemed to be in their own world and she was watching from the outside, moving to the beat. It was, strange.
"And now we'll be"
"Just friends"
Maybe they were. Maybe that was all. But, even as friends, there was something between the two of them inside of which Jackie would never be able to enter, whether she accompanied them adventuring or not. A closeness to their relationship that wasn't there for herself and Marco, even at their most intimate.
"Be just friends"
It was scary. No, it was terrifying. Jackie didn't feel jealous about Star. She couldn't. Marco was amazing, but yet she herself had only started noticing him this year, and, the reason she had noticed him, was Star. Star made Marco a different person, a more confident, happier, braver person. So, whatever they had, Jackie would never wish to take it from them. In a way, she wanted them to have more of it. But, she was also afraid. She was afraid that one day Marco would realize he had something with Star that was more important than what he had with her, that he would change his mind about what he had said two weeks earlier.
"I didn't mean to hurt you," Star sang.
Then don't, Jackie thought.
"You didn't have a clue," Marco continued.
You both are clueless!
"So you went out and got busy," Star retorted.
Jackie's face flushed slightly. Maybe she was reading too much into the lyrics, but still, that was one way to put it.
"And found somebody new. New. New. New."
They seemed to go closer and closer as they sang that last line, almost as if they were about to turn to each other and kiss. This was too much. She had wanted to have a look into their... well, friendship, maybe? And is not that she didn't like what she saw, not exactly. But, this was too much, too early.
"And now we'll be"
"Just friends"
She pulled Marco towards her. Sweat running through her hands. She was chickening out. She had prodded Marco about liking Star, and Star about liking Marco. They both had denied it, while she had secretly hoped for confirmation. But now, now she wasn't sure that is what she wanted.
"Oh we will be, just friends"
Marco was dancing with her. Star had let him go without any trouble. She still held Marco's hand too, but like Jackie before, she was leaving the two of them alone and dancing on her own. Jackie's heart was hammering in her chest, she didn't let it show. She needed to reassure herself that Marco was hers, that he did love her. Right now, them singing the same song he had just sung with Star, Jackie's favorite song, wasn't enough. She felt the guitar solo start, and pulled Marco towards her. She put a hand on his chest, and kissed him. She needed reassurance.
Her lips pressed against Marco's, the heat of his skin was soothing. She had half expected Marco to be annoyed when she pulled him from Star, or for his mind not to be on the kiss. But it was. It felt just like when they were alone. It was not their most passionate kiss, but it was a caring, loving one. Jackie felt her worries melt away, and closed her eyes.
"Wow," Marco said when their lips finally separated. They both gazed lovingly into each other's eyes for a split of a second, and then... "Star?"
Star had gone away, and Marco ran after her. Strangely, Jackie was ok with it. She no longer felt worried about her boyfriend chasing down the stairs after his best friend. She considered following too. But then she realized why Star had gone away. Jackie felt guilty, very guilty. This wasn't the plan, Star and Marco had both invited her, and at best she had just made Star uncomfortable, and at worst... well, at worst the princess did have feelings for Marco, and Jackie had just rubbed salt on the wound. Not only that, she had done so just to reassure herself over the two of them singing a song together about simply being friends. Shit.
The last thing she wanted was for Star to hate her, or for them to stop hanging out all three together. Or, even worse, to cause a fight between Marco and Star. Jackie liked what the two of them had, she truly did, she had thought she could handle it even if the two friends had been in love, and yet she had felt overwhelmed by a freaking dance routine. So much for keeping her cool.
She saw the two of them talking. Star was smiling, she was pushing Marco to go back up. What would Jackie do when Marco came up? She could always play it as being clueless. Marco would just make some excuse for Star, and Jackie would pretend to believe them. She would also pretend that she had only kissed him because she was at a concert with her boyfriend and 'it just happened'. Meanwhile, Star was walking towards the exit now, removing herself from her own plans so that Jackie and Marco could be alone. Star was definitely a better person than she was, and Jackie never felt so small in her life.
----
Star was trying her best not to cry, bottling up her frustration and the turmoil of jealousy within her. It was just a freaking kiss! Nothing at all when compared to what she had seen a few weeks before through the Seeing Eye spell. But it had been right in front of her, right while holding her hand. Well, what did she expect? She had arranged this whole thing, as an apology to Marco and Jackie. What, had she supposed that her bestie wouldn't want to kiss his date at a romantic pop music concert? Hell, she had almost tried to kiss Marco herself! Avoided it by her last thread of self control, actually, and she then had the audacity to get shocked when his actual girlfriend kissed him?
But the emotions raging through her were not rational. Star hurt, badly. She wanted Marco, and for a few minutes she had felt that the entire world was only the two of them. He had given her his hand, he had sung with her. Why couldn't he just have ignored her from the moment the song started playing!?
She lifted her wand, and let her fury and regret flow through it, visceral, uncaring for all his reasons and all her mistakes. A blast of green energy flew out from the tip of the cleaved wand, and the promotional sign for the concert went up in a fiery explosion.
This would be less painful if Marco Diaz had meant to hurt her. The fact that he had still cared enough to leave his date to try to make sure Star was ok somehow made it worse. If instead of her caring but clueless friend, Marco had just behaved like a straight up asshole, he would never have been able to wound her half as deeply!
"Wow, Starship. And they say I have anger issues..." Speak of the devil, literally.
"Fuck off, Tom!"
