You're My Wish Come True Chapter 21: To Sing a Song, a star vs. the forces of evil fanfic

Author's Note: Hey guys! This is MEGA late, but here's my first one shot of the second season! Honestly, I was just not satisfied with the ideas I had half written up but this one wasn't too bad. Anyways, this is inspired from the 'Red Belt' episode when Star introduced her favorite band and the fact that Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy lead singer) will most likely be voicing the lead singer there. Also, this was also inspired by the episode title 'Starstruck' which I was actually hoping for it to mean something related to 'lovestruck'.

Oh well I guess we got to wait until that Valentines day special, eh? WHICH WE MIGHT GET BECAUSE DISNEY IS DOING A SVTFOE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL EPISODE! But then theres the potential CHRISTMAS EPISODE where they maybe get under a MISTLETOE! I'm just saying if there is a Christmas episode, I demand a mistletoe scene between Star and Marco. THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE TO KISS I JUST WANT AWKWARD INTERACTIONS!

Alright enough of my rant. One more thing to mention is that the song that Marco will sing is 'You'll always be my baby'. I pictured the David Cook version of the song when writing this so if you would like, listen to that song when Marco starts singing it.

Anyways, enjoy the fic!

"AHHH! I CAN'T WAIT I CAN'T WAIT I CAN'T WAIT!" Star jumped up and down in glee as she admired her Love Sentence poster that she had hung up on her wall.

In a few hours, Star was about to go and attend her first Love Sentence concert with her other best friend, Princess Pony Head. She had begged Marco to help her get tickets for the concert for the past few days so that she, Pony Head, and Marco could listen to how great her favorite band was. After much begging (and Pony Head threatening to impale Marco), he had complied to buy the tickets.

"Maybe I can meet Justin Towers!" she sighed dreamily, biting her wand. She had a huge celebrity crush on the lead singer ever since she first heard him sing. He had such a booming, hardcore voice that always got her pumped up whenever she heard him sing.

"Star! Keep it down!" A groggy, muffled voice called from the room across from Star's mini palace.

Star was way too excited to keep quiet, however, so she exited her room, skipped down the hall, and burst into poor Marco's room in all her glory.

"MARCO I'M SO EXCITED!" she squealed. Without thinking, she jumped on the bed nearby and started jumping up and down. "I'M GOING TO SEE JUSTIN TOWERS IN REAL LIFE! MAYBE I CAN GET HIS AUTOGRAPH OR-"

She caught herself when she heard groans of pain coming from the side of the bed. She glanced down at the side of the bed to see a very exhausted Marco face down on the floor. She had accidentally kicked him off his own bed.

"Oops! Sorry!" she apologized as she bent down to grab Marco's arm and pull him back onto his bed.

"Leave me alone, Star," Marco said in a coarse voice as he got back into his original position on the bed. He slowly grabbed his blanket and pulled it up to his face.

"Aw Marco! Don't be like that! Just because you're too tired to see the concert with me and Pony Head doesn't mean you have to be all grouchy!" she said as she sat down on the side of his bed.

"Oh yeah, I'm sooo upset," he said sarcastically.

A day ago, Skullnick decided to throw a huge extra credit project at the class that was due the day after. To most of the class, that didn't really mean anything to them since it was optional. But for Marco, it was very different. In Marco's desperation to be an A++ student, he pulled an all nighter while also staying awake at school in order to finish the project. Now he was as tired as tired could be. All he could care about right now was getting some rest. He didn't even care that his ticket to Love Sentence would go to waste. He didn't even want to go to the concert anyway.

"Don't worry Marco! I'll get Justin Towers' autograph for you too!" Star smiled as she patted his head. So soft Star thought randomly as she felt his hair.

"Star could you stop doing that?"

"Oops! Sorry about that! Anyways, me and Pony Head are gonna meet up at the concert early now," she said as she stood up and took out her dimensional scissors and cut a portal open. She turned her head over her shoulder and flashed Marco a bright smile. "Later Marco!"

"Go away," Marco said muffled as he talked into his pillow.

Star giggled. "Hee hee. So cute!"

She jumped into the portal, giving Marco the peace he very much needed to doze off to sleep.

*Time Skip*

We'll go down in history!

Remember me for centuries!

Star and Pony Head screamed along with the audience as Justin Towers finished singing the song 'Centuries'. They were right in front of the stage, watching Love Sentence preform.

"Thank you guys for listening! Now it's time to do our SING-A-SONG!" Justin announced. The crowd roared in response to this. Every time Love Sentence did a concert, they picked one lucky fan from the front stage to go up on stage and sing any song of their choice. It was a way for for Love Sentence to promote themselves through fan service and to show that the band was musically talented, being able to identify the tune and play it of a multitude of songs.

"Now who wants to volunteer?!" Justin announced in the microphone. The fans pushed and shoved their way towards the front of the stage, eager to take this opportunity. They were all waving their hands in the air and yelling, hoping to get noticed.

Pony Head nudged Star. "Girl, you should totally go up there!"

Star looked at Pony Head and then to the front stage nervously. "I don't know, there's a lot of people here and I don't want to end up looking dumb when I sing."

Pony Head neighed. "No way girl! You have an awesome voice! Trust your best bestie!"

Star gave Pony Head a small smile. "Thanks Pony Head," she smiled. She turned and made her way to the front stage.

"PICK ME!" she screamed as she waved her arms in the air.

Justin Towers scanned the front of the stage for a potential singer until a certain girl caught his eye. She was very noticeable because of the fact that rainbows were shooting out of the wand in her hand. He walked up to Star and held out his hand.

"Come on up!" he said.

Star's eyes widened. "Me?!" she pointed to herself in awe.

"Yep! You!"

Star squealed and quickly took Justin's hand then got pulled onto the stage. The crowd aw'd in disappointment as they didn't get their chance to sing but accepted it quickly.

"Hello young lady! What's your name?" Justin said as he held the mic out to Star.

"Oh! I'm Star Butterfly," she said bouncing up and down.

"Star Butterfly! You're very energetic!"

"Thanks!" Star smiled. Pony Head was right. This wasn't so bad. Infact, she was having a lot of fun-

"So what are you going to be singing today?"

Star's mind suddenly turned blank. She had forgotten that she was supposed to sing something.

"Uh, Uhhhhhh," Star said worriedly. What should I do?! What should I sing?! I don't know a lot of earth songs other than their songs. Maybe I should sing one of their songs! But what if I look bad? What do I do what do I do what do I DO?! I-I-I I NEEED HELP! I NEED

'MARCO!" Star screeched. Her wand lit up and a beam of light burst out of it. Everyone shielded their eyes from the bright light and when they looked back, there, standing in front of Star, was a slouched over, half asleep Marco Diaz who was still in his jam-jams.

Star gasped. She had unconsciously created a 'Summon Marco' spell that teleported Marco to her.

"Oooops," Star said quietly.

"Um, oh well," Justin continued casually as if a person teleporting onto the stage wasn't weird at all. "This is unexpected. Who is this guy? Is he going to, um, sing?"

"Um," Star took Marco by the shoulders. "This is my best frie-"

"Whoooo iz interrupeting myyy sleep AgaIN?!" Marco sleep mumbled. His eyes were half open but he didn't seem to understand where he was at that moment. He was in some kind of state of sleep walking but could understand a little of what was happening around him.

"Uhhhh, Marco," Star said turning him around to face her. "I am sooo sorry about this but what happened was that Justin Towers asked me to sing and I got so nervous from embarrassing myself-"

"SiNG?!" Marco said annoyed. In his half asleep mode, all he was picking up was whatever would help him go back into a deep sleep the fastest. "Fine! I'll SiNg! Just lemme *snore* sleep more!"

Marco opened his eyes a little bit more and searched for a microphone. It was like watching a robot carry out tasks. He saw Justin with his mic and walked swiftly towards it.

"Oh! So are you singing? What are you going to-"

Marco savagely snatched the microphone from Justin Towers' hand then walked up to one of the guitarist and grabbed his guitar.

"Hey man! What do you think you're doing-" the guitarist stopped as Marco flashed him a death glare that could only be possible when Marco Diaz needed some sleep very badly. The guitarist whimpered and retracted himself.

Star watched in horror as Marco did all this. "Oh no," Star bit her nails. Marco was acting like this in front of a HUGE audience. She knew that if he were fully awake, he would probably faint instantly in front of everyone. Marco grumbled as he grabbed a wooden stool and set it at front of the stage, setting the mic up in front of him as well.

Justin Towers stood next to Star with an annoyed look in his eyes. "He didn't have to be so rude. What's up with your boyfriend?" he looked at Star.

Star was caught in surprise. She backed up and waved her arms in the air. "No no no! He's not my boyfriend! He's a really nice guy and all but he's just a-"

Before she could finish her sentence, a heavenly tone came from the front stage. Marco was strumming the chords of the guitar, creating a beautiful melody that captured everyone who heard it. He was still half asleep, but as he sat on the stool and strummed the guitar, he looked so very serene. He leaned over the mic and unleashed a deep, soulful voice that Star had literally thought to be an angel for a moment.

We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine

The audience, who at first did not like Marco due to his rude behavior, was starting to be captured by the melody of his voice. Some people were starting to sway along to the tune while others just stared in awe. They had come here to listen Love Sentence but this one random boy who appeared literally out of nowhere was starting to feel like the main attraction. Heck, Pony Head didn't even like Marco but her head starting swaying to the rhythm as well.

Even Star was starting to be enchanted, she wasn't sure if she was hearing things right or if this was some dream, but the voice of the boy onstage right now was starting to give her goosebumps.

Now you wanna be free
So I'm letting you fly
'Cause I know in my heart babe
Our love will never die
No...

Marco's eyes were a little glossy as he looked up and took a deep breath. The audience braced their heart for the beauty they knew they were about to behold. Star held her hand to her heart, trying to calm the quickening heartbeats that increased every passing moment.

You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl, don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling 'cause you'll always be my baby

The audience was breath taken by the course. Marco's voice struck their hearts right down to the soul. It was like the audience themselves were each individually beings serenaded. The band members in the back were so touched, that they even started playing their instruments to the beat of the beautiful, heartfelt song.

Star felt her face flush as Marco took another deep breath to continue on to the next verse. She had the sudden urge to snuggle with him.

"Next movie night," she absent-mindedly muttered to herself.

I ain't gonna cry no
And I won't beg you to stay
If you're determined to leave girl
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably
You'll be back again
'Cause you know in your heart babe
Our love will never end, no

Marco brought his eyes up and turned his head to the side slightly. He was looking directly at Star.

Star felt herself freeze. This was Marco, her bestest bestie on earth. She had lived with him for a while now. So why his gaze making her feel so warm and starstruck?

Is he ...singing to me? Star nervously thought.

As Marco finished the chorus again, Star could've sworn that there was a small smile that appeared on his face. He tore his gaze away from Star and turned back towards the audience, closing his eyes.

Even though his gaze was off her though, Star still felt like he was talking to her. Her stomach was starting to do jumping jacks and a feeling she had never felt before was starting to bubble up inside her.

What kind of magic is this? I thought humans didn't have magic! Star thought as Marco began the next verse.

I know that you'll be back girl
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder oh
I know that you'll be right back baby
Oh baby believe me it's only a matter of timee!

Marco shouted the last word from the bottom of his soul and then turned his head back to the side of the stage to face Star. He opened his eyes a little more slightly and this time, Star was sure he was smiling. That smile weakened Star's knees that she almost fell down, but at the same time, she couldn't help but return that smile. The audience cheered as Marco let out the chorus again.

Marco stood up for the final verse of the song, and the crowd roared even louder. Everyone clapped to the rhythm and sang along. Star just stood there smiling like an idiot with a deep blush on her cheeks. Was he always this cool? Star thought.

Marco closed his eyes one last time and made one final strum to the guitar.

Always be my baby...

The crowd erupted into cheers and clapping. It was the most beautiful performance they had ever heard. They would've paid tickets again just to relive this one 4 minute performance.

Star clapped along with the audience with a silly smile stuck on her face. She felt like she had won the lottery, and she had no idea why.

She heard a small sniffle to the side of her and turned to see what it was. She saw Justin Towers, a small smile on his face and tears in his eyes while on his hands and knees. He looked up at the center stage.

"That was so... beautiful. I've been inspired to become a better man from this. I'm so happy I lived long enough to see this one moment," he cried.

While Star agreed it was one of the most beautiful things she had ever heard, it was kind of awkward to see a well known celebrity looking up to her best friend.

After Marco had finished his song, he turned and looked at Star again. He gently took off the guitar he was wearing and gently placed it on the ground. He started walking towards her, not taking his gaze off her.

Star's heartbeat quickened again. What was she supposed to say? Hey nice song? You have a nice voice? She felt almost as nervous as she had been when she was asked to pick a song.

"H-hey Marco-" Star started. She didn't get very far in her talk though. Marco had a grumpy face on as he grabbed the dimensional scissors and tore open a portal back to his room. Marco had been HALF ASLEEP during the whole performance and he was STILL bent on getting his sleep.

"Ssssleeeeep," Marco said in a zombified fashion. Star watched in awe as he tossed the scissors behind him and took a step towards the portal. Before he could enter however, he felt someone grab his leg. He looked down to see Justin Towers, on the ground holding leg.

"PLEASE! YOU MUST TEACH ME!" Justin begged.

Marco wasted no time as he shook Justin off without pity and walked into the portal.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Justin screamed as the portal closed before fainting.

"Uh, okay then," Star said staring at her supposed favorite singer. She made her way back down the stage and went up to Pony Head.

"Girl, that was, wow," Pony Head said, out of breath. "I didn't know Earth Turd could sing like that. He got even me pumped up!"

"Yeah me neither," Star had a dopey smile plastered on her face.

As soon as Pony Head saw that smile, she knew what was up. Pony Head sighed and shook her head. She knew this was going to happen eventually, just not so soon and so unexpectedly.

"Alright, Bfly," Pony Head said. "Enough thinking about your boyfriend, let's go."

At the mention of the word 'boyfriend', Star shot out of her thoughts. "What?!" Star said in a high pitched voice.

Pony Head laughed. So obvious she thought.

Bonus:

The next day

"Whoo!" Marco stretched as he and Star walked to the bus stop. "That was some sleep! I had the craziest dream!"

Star looked over thoughtfully. "What was it about?" she said casually.

Marco waved it off. "Nothing that would interest you really. I mean it was silly anyway."

"Oh really?" Star said. "If you say so."

She walked ahead of him lightly singing the lyrics to a certain song.

You'll always be my baby... and we'll linger on Star hummed.

Marco stopped cold. His face broke out in a sweat. "Star, where did you learn that song?" his voice rising.

Star flashed a smile behind her. "Last one to the bus stop is pegasus poop!" she winked before dashing towards the bus stop. Marco promptly chased after her while calling her name and demanding where she heard that song.

Author's Notes: I'm sorry but I just laugh so hard at the thought of Marco just randomly doing awesome things (like how he pulled $650 OUT OF NOWHERE LIKE IT WAS NOTHING DURING THE GOBLIN DOGS SNEAK PEAK?!). Definitely my favorite character in this show.

Also, yes, I am continuing the Rival fanfiction, people who thought I wasn't going to continue it. I just said I'd post some one shots first before going back to it.

Well back to the Starco lab where I continue to obsess over these two. Hope you guys enjoyed and thanks for all the kind reviews! Sorry I haven't posted any one shots in a while, I just needed some more inspiration for them. Thanks again and peace out!
