Beach Madness – Wholesome Week Two

Ah, the beach. A place covered with sand that gets in your pants and all kinds of people splash in your face as you try to relax. But one group of rowdy teenagers stormed the beach…on a giant cloud? Why yes, Princess Star Butterfly is enjoying her summer vacation, coming off the defeat of Toffee and decided to have some summer fun!

"YIPEE!" Star hopped of her Cloudy and threw her towel on the ground, being bright blue with various star signs all over it. Wearing a simple bathing suit that covered most of her body, she took in the warm rays of the sun and relaxed. "Juuuussssst what I needed after a stressful few weeks. Wouldn't you say Marco?"

Her latino best friend threw himself on the ground, tired after carrying tons of stuff. Wearing blue trunks and sunglasses, the Earth boy was both excited and loathing this day. He knew Star would cause havoc, but he also wanted her to have fun. "I agree…though why did I get stuck carrying everything?!"

"Because you lost the bet Diaz?" Tom joked, wearing simple red trunks and special three-eyed sunglasses. "Seriously, I can't believe you still suck at ping-pong."

"Ease up on kid bro." Pete snickered, with him throwing a blue towel with a giant skull over his back. He wore a simple white tee-shirt and blue trunks, not wanting to 'scare the locals' for his lack of human skin…or organs. "I mean, you did cheat."

"You boys done joking around yet?" Star pouted, with her three friends sighing. Marco threw his red towel down, having a giant fist in the center. Sitting next to his best friend, Marco finally relaxed, taking out a can of soda from the cooler he carried.

"Yeah, I'm good. Yo guys. Here." Marco tossed cans of soda to his bros, with them nodding thankfully. Everyone got relaxed, enjoying the warm summer weather. Marco was nervous though, as he knows Star has pale skin. "Let me put this up." Marco picked up a large umbrella, one he took with him. It had a large sun on the outside. Sitting under Star, she sighed contently, being thankful her best friend is taking care of her.

Tom snorted at the sight, with Pete lightly punching his arm. "What?"

"Let the love birds have their moment. I mean, they both went through a lot." Tom sighed, rubbing his neck. He was right alongside Marco and Star when fighting Toffee. The fight was…something else, with the demon nearly dying. Looking at Star and Marco smiling fondly at one another, he felt mild joy within him. Pete meanwhile, looked at the beach, feeling nostalgic for some reason. "This is nice…reminds me of when I was human bro."

"Really?" Tom takes a swig of his soda. "I mean, that's cool."

"Yep." The topic of his past is a sour one, so the two friends like to avoid it. Marco and Star meanwhile were laughing at various people at the beach.

"Look at that guy Marco! He has that ice cream cone falling over! Some blue dog keeps bugging him…" Star laughed loudly, with Marco only shaking his head with ammuzement. After a bad break-up with Jackie, he felt closer than ever toward Star. The boy even realized, he might like her back. Though this whole 'beach day' thing is too lift her sprit more than anything. Star noticed Marco staring at her, tilting her head slightly. "Uh…your face broken or something bud?"

"I'm fine! I was just noticing…" Marco tried thinking of something but oddly enough, he spotted Star's noise burning up. "Uh, you forgot to use sunblock?"

"What's that?" Star asked honestly, making Marco twitch his eyes. The boy spent a full hour bathing in sun-block to avoid the heat's rays, so walking into the sun without that on?! That shocked the human boy. "Your face tells me this isn't good…"

Marco quickly got out two bottles of sunblock and showed it to Star. "We need to put this on you. Your skill will burn up!"

"Come on! I will be fiiiiiinnnnne." Star waved her hand but she noticed part of it glowing red. "Why is my hand red?"

"Sigh…just hold it out please." Star nodded, with Marco gently rubbing the cool sunblock on it. She blushed in response, feeling Marco's touch very soothing. "Good we caught that; don't want your hands to hurt. Gotta use that wand after all."

"Y-Yeah! Wait…what about my back and junk?" Star asked in confusion. Marco's face turned red and looked away.

"I mean, if you can reach, you can do that yourself. I think Janna is here, so maybe I could call her to help you out with this." Marco began to get up, with Star grabbing his hand. "Star?"

"You can put it on me buddy." They looked at one another, both blushing slightly. Marco felt confidence bubble up within him and leaned closer to Star. Slowly, he put the sunblock on her back, carefully avoiding her growing wings. Star felt her body go on fire throughout this, being surprised with how gentle Marco was being toward her. The boy though? He was both scared of his nerves acting up and his demon best friend chucking a fireball in his direction. He kept his focus though, as after five tense minutes for the best friends, Marco finished.

"So, now you are good to go. Um…sorry if that was awkward or anything." Marco laughed nervously, with Star giggling.

"It's fine. That was sweet of you to help me. Thanks…" The two looked at one another in silence for two minutes, until they heard loud coughing. Marco turned around like an owl, spotting Tom and Pete looking intently at them.

"I'msorryTom. IwasonlytryingtohelpStar. Itwasn'tmeanttoberomaticatall!" The boy begain stuttering and shaking, making Tom burst into laughter. "…You aren't going to kill me?"

"Why would I! I got over Star by now Diaz. I thought you knew this bro?" Star sighed, gently rubbing Marco's back. "Wow, you look like a ghost."

"Nah, he looks like a skeleton." Pete chuckled. Star's glare made the bony warrior shut up on the spot. "So ready to hit the waves?"

"Yes!" Star yanked the still panic-ridden Marco up and dashed toward the ocean. Tom and Pete snickers and joined their friends. Having a fun splash fight and some 'intense' water-gun fights, the four friends closed the day out eating a meal Marco cooked.

"Friends, I present to you…my special Beach Nachos!" He took them out of the cooler, having unique spices and various dips on the side. Star's mouth was drooling while Tom and Pete snickered. "What?"

"Um…wouldn't they get soggy from being in an ice box?" Marco's bright face turned monotone, sighing with defeat. Looking at Star though, she is eating them frantically, greatly enjoying herself. "At least Starship likes them…"

"They are soooooo good!" Star's heart marks glow brightly, making Marco smile. Tom takes a bite and makes an 'oh' sound. His munching grows louder, giving his bro a thumbs up. Pete takes a few bites and pats his bony chest contently. Marco finally eats too, fully enjoying his creation. This sight was noticed by two girls, one named Jackie and another named Janna.

"Oh…so he's here." Jackie said with some mild acid in her tone. Janna elbowed her, making her sigh. "Sorry…still not over things."

Janna only folded her arms, raising an eyebrow. "Look girl, he was a jerk to you but he's a good guy. I mean, I also went to Mewni with him and we are still friends."

"But I was…never mind." Jackie rubbed her temples, not wanting to deal with this conversation. "Should we say hello?"

"Eh, why not." Janna smirks. "Besides, I'm sure you want to knock out that demon with your body girl." Jackie blushed madly, throwing her towel on. Janna laughed loudly, getting the groups attention. Marco and Star gulped, fearful of having another tense talk with Jackie. Tom was shaking slightly, having some mild feelings for the skater girl after talking to her a while back. Pete was just looking forward to speaking with Janna again, as he enjoyed her company. The two girls walked up to the table and sat down.

"So…sup." Janna waved hello. She wore a bikini, having green patterns and stipes. Despite the hot weather, she still wore her beanie hat, confusing the heck out of Marco.

"Doing good troublemaker. Didn't steal people's wallets, right?" Janna smirked, dropping her purse on the table. Marco sighed in aggravation, rubbing his forehead. "Just give them back…"

"Nah, going to keep them. If they cared, they would be more careful right?" Marco opened his mouth, before dropping it. She had a good point honestly. His attention drifted to Jackie, having a mildly annoyed look. If Marco didn't have some anger toward the girl, he would be blushing madly. She was…more developed compared to his other friends, with her blue bikini showing off her trained body. Skating, snowboarding and surfing does wonders after all.

"Hey Marco…Star." Jackie sighed in annoyance, looking away from the duo. "You guys having fun together?"

"We aren't dating Jackie." Star answered quickly, having her gaze narrow slightly. "Just having a fun friends-day-out is all." The princess doesn't harbor dark feelings toward Jackie at all, but she is annoyed with how her former friend view her as 'the man stealer' when that wasn't the case at all in her mind.

Tom notices the tension and coughs. "So ladies, why are you here anyway. Not that we don't to hang out with you or anything. Hehe…" Pete elbowed Tom, giving him an annoyed look.

"What my good friend is trying to say, is that you look great Jackie." Tom shoot a bitter look at Pete, with the skeleton having his trademark goofy grin painted on his face. Jackie smiles, folding her arms amused.

"Thanks dude. You don't look half bad yourself." Tom blushed, rubbing his arms. Janna leaned closer toward Jackie.

"I think demon boy likes you…" Jackie gave a playful smile toward her friend, chuckling slightly. The beanie clad girl looks at Star, playing with her food. Her face was now slightly down cast. "Hey, you okay Star?"

"Hey! How about you guys hang out here while Star and I take a walk on the board walk." Marco grabs Star's hand and the duo leaves. Jackie, Janna, Pete and Tom look confused but simply shrug their shoulders. Only Janna understands what Marco did, having a smile on her face.

Walking away from the group. Star is holding herself, looking at the ground. Marco has his arm around her. "Hey, it's okay. Want to get some ice cream or something?"

"No…just…why does she hate me so much!" Star said softly, feeling anger bubble up inside her. "I didn't mean…"

"She should get by now I broke up with her. But whatever." Star noticed the bitter tone within Marco's voice, feeling somewhat happy. "Look, today is our first time on Earth after…everything. What do you want to do?"

"Um…ice cream does sound nice." The two smiled and walked toward a stand. A tall man, the same one Star laughed at before, was serving the food. "Wow, small world. Hello ice cream man!" The man gave a small smile.

"Hello kids. Lovely time for a couple's day out." The two blushed madly at this, with the man chuckling. "Just kidding. What flavors? This is on the house."

"Really?" Marco said in shock. "I mean, I have money right…" He holds up his hand.

"Seriously, on the house." He turns to the smiling blond girl, who's eyes glowed bright. "What flavor do you want?"

"Everythingeverythingeverything!" Star said over and over again, making Marco chuckle.

"We both would like Vanilla with lots of sprinkles." He nodded and served the friends two bowls of ice cream.

"Thank you!" Star and Marco say in unison, running off with their food. After walking and talking for a bit, they noticed the sun going down. Marco checked his watch, slapping his head.

"We were walking and talking for four hours!? Hope our friends are okay…" Marco said with worry. Star giggled, throwing her arm around Marco.

"They won't mind us having a fun date." Star felt her face heat up, covering her mouth instantly. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean that. Stupid emotions…ugh."

"No…It was a fun date." Marco looked at his feet, growing a soft smile. Star's face lit up, hoping Marco will be asking the question. "Maybe us dating might not be a bad idea after all. I mean, we both like each other."

"You…like me back?" Star said in shock, with Marco nodding. "Oh gosh! YES!" She tackled into Marco, giving him a whole bunch of kisses. He laughed, as they ticked his neck.

"Okay okay! Get off me please." Star helped Marco up, laughing softly. "But I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a while."

"It wasn't that long honestly and…I'm glad you took your time. It was really brave of you to storm into Mewni to help me fight Toffee." She kissed his cheek. "Thanks."

"Anything for my best friend." The two held hands, walking back to their friends. While not exactly action packed, they did have a great day on the beach.
