Disclaimer: This is just a fanfiction! I don't own SVTFOE or it's characters. Just doing this for fun.

AN: Chapter 2 is finally here! It only took like 10 months. Yeah I am really bad at updating my stories when I have other things going on. My bad. But rereading this story got me wanting to write it again so hopefully I can stay on track with this momentum that I have going. But having writer's block or disinterest in writing isn't the reason why I stopped writing this story and well explain at the end of the chapter. Thank you to those who reread this fanfiction multiple times and I hope to keep giving the semi-quality writing I been giving you more. Without further ado, comment or like and enjoy the chapter.

[Fiery Bliss Chapter 2]

The tension in the room was still high as groups were formed. Queen Moon, her husband, and Omnitraxus stood on one side while Hekapoo, Marco, and surprising Eclipsa stood on the other. Rhombulus was the only one who still tried to process everything the best he could. He debated whether to crystallize the new person in front of him just in case if he was evil or suffer the wrath of Hekapoo knowing she can drag him across many dimensions in pain.

Feeling surprised at the sudden stance of Eclipsa, Marco ponder why the old queen was standing near them. Certainly in the past she was one to use dark magic to permanently wreck the history of Mewni. Hearing the stories from his lover, she seemed to be an entirely different person yet someone who has a love for their family.

"Eclipsa… Now that your portal issue is solved, that shouldn't stop you from returning to your tower."

"Oh I don't know Moon. This is like the juiciest gossip I heard in a long time!"

"As much as I would love to cater to your desire for entertainment…" The heavens knew she didn't "This is now more of a High Commission matter and you need to be gone."

Pouting like she was being punished for drawing on the wall, Eclipsa gave in to Moon and followed a royal guard back to her tower. But before leaving, she turned around and winked at Marco giving him shivers running down his spine. This didn't go unnoticed by Hekapoo as she glared at his back. Feeling the sweat starting to pour down his neck, Marco turned towards King River and started up a conversation to dodge his lover.

"It's been awhile King River. May I say you look like your still fit as ever!"

"Hahaha Marco my boy! You still have a way with words do you? You don't look shabby yourself! Say, what training regimen do you use?"

Feeling satisfied that Marco at least knew his place, Hekapoo smirked before she noticed a strange look that was directed towards her from Queen Moon. It almost startled her because this was an expression Hekapoo never seen before.

"So your relationship is this far mmh?" Moon said raising an eyebrow at Hekapoo which caused the fiery woman to glance away in embarrassment. "Do tell after this chaos is sorted out will you?" Hekapoo stopped her bashful behavior as she whipped her stare back at Moon in surprise. "What? I may be queen and chancellor but it doesn't mean I don't like a good romance story here or there. That doesn't mean you are exempt from punishment mind you." The tension in the room felt slightly less heavy now.

"Ahem." Omnitraxus pulled in the attention of the entire group as he pointed towards the throne room doors. "Star Butterfly is here. Why don't we get this meeting started Queen Moon?"

Nodding in approval did the group conjoin again as they stared at the blonde Mewni princess enter the throne room with one other person. Marco noted the horns and third eye deducing who this person was. It only took a couple seconds for the young couple to reach the group as a look of worry was placid on the young princess face. The group stood there for a minute or two in silence. Not a single person or being wanted to start the conversation. Feeling like she had the chance to grab the floor, Star was the first one to speak.

"Mom… I know I been crazy with my magic these past few day and I wanted to say that I'm so, so, so sor-" before Star could begin her apology, Queen Moon simply put a finger on her daughters mouth to stop her. "Star that isn't why we called you here." Raising an eyebrow, Star pulled away from her mother's hand and gave a questioning gaze to the group. "Then why am I here mom? I thought you were scolding me for magic I was using recently." Star confessed as she started to rub her right arm.

"No Star, this isn't what this meeting is for. Something came up for the Magic High Commission which lead to news of your squire."

"What?!" Star screamed as she felt her heart pounding.

"Star! Volume!"

"Oh yes, yes, yes… Sorry mom." Star ignored her mother's respite. "Where is Marco? What happened to him? Is he hurt!" She said with urgency lacing her voice. Star needed these answers because her mother having news for her caused a whole new bottle of stress to erupt from the cork holding it in.

"Calm down Star. Nothing good will come from this behavior."

"She's right Starship. Let's calm down before your mother speaks." This time Tom stepped in to calm her down but Star still didn't back down.

"But-"

"Star. Please, just take a calm breath and clear your mind." Finally relenting did Star settle down after taking a few deep breaths. Making sure her daughter was done making a fuss, Queen Moon finally continued what she wanted to say.

"Like I have said, we have news of your squire but only you shall know this news Star."

"But wha-"

"Yes Star. This is sensitive information that only the Magic High Commission and the Butterfly Royalty only shall know. Anyone other individual or kingdom shall not partake in such knowledge." Knowing what Star was going to say next did Queen Moon beat her daughter to the sentence. "No Star, Thomas Lucitor is included in both individual and kingdom. This is a time sensitive matter and I'm sure Thomas here will be glad to show himself out."

Star pouted at the coldness that layered in her mother's words as the last sentence was targeted at her boyfriend. Tom stopped Star from talking back as he softly touched her shoulder.

"Of course Queen Moon. I shall take my leave for the day."

"You don't have to leave… You can wait in my room…"

"C'mon Starship. It's not like I can't see you later."

He gave a reassuring smile before bowing to the rest of the group as he departed. During his bow did Tom finally noticed a entity he never seen before. It was standing behind the dimensional scissors maker but the magic coming off the being made Tom's hair stand on edge. It's red horns and flame was similar to the being Hekapoo he recounted but something felt familiar looking at this being. Finishing his bow did Tom finally turn and leave through a fire portal connected to his kingdom.

"Now Star. What we tell you in this room shall never leave beyond the doors."

"It better be important enough to make my boyfriend leave… It's just Marco! Tom had a hand in trying to help find Marco!"

Queen Moon frowned as she did feel a little guilt but she knew that this wasn't simple enough for the rest of Mewni to learn of. Even she didn't understand what was going on but she felt that it was beyond her control and something that shouldn't told beyond this room.

"Star. The person who has news about Marco is waiting to talk. Are we going to keep arguing about how we treated your boyfriend or shall we find out what happened to Marco?"

Prompting her daughter to take a few breaths did Star finally give in and calmed down from her anxiety. She took a glance around the room and noticed that the entire Magic High Commission was here excluding Glossaryck. However there was another being currently standing right behind her mother waiting for a moment to speak. Said being noticed that it was time to talk before they brought a smile to their face. This smile dazed Star as if it felt familiar yet… alluring. Her heartbeat increased as the further she stared at this being. This being was a man who seemed to be around six foot tall or around there.

He had to be because hell was he taller than her. He had horns almost like her boyfriends but these horns had a more demanding power to them like they were giving off magic which was probably the case with the fire just above them. But one thing that caught her eye was the outfit of the man was similar to Hekapoo's but in a form of a tailored suit as if they were matching couple. Each feature that came off this man lit the entire area up.

'Did Hekapoo have a brother or something…?'

"Star."

'I mean he really looks dashing. Like If I wasn't with Tom… Whew!'

"Star!"

'But like… Are they a thing? Wow that would be such a twist.'

"Star!"

"Ah-What!"

"What on Mewni is happening to you. One minute you're jumping off the walls and next you're dazed like a animal off to slaughter."

Star noticed that she was currently drooling while looking at the person who was standing in front of her. It happened to fast for Star. 'When… Did he get in front of me..? Was I just drooling at a stranger…?' Star blushed deeply at her actions as Moon tried her best to cough to calm down Hekapoo. Though nothing appeared on her face, the fire above her head start to burn more fiercely as she watched at Star's inappropriate actions.

"I'm sorry… Kind stranger... I was staring to much."

"No. It's fine. Meeting new people can be exciting I get it. Sometimes they can take your breath away on how unique they are."

"Yes! Yes that's it! Yes, Meeting new people!"

"Though this isn't the first time we met Princess. In fact, this isn't even the second time."

"Well it's nice to meet you t- What?!"

Feeling like this was getting to out of hand did Queen Moon step in again. "Star please! We really need to move on. And you, please stop trying to be mystifying! We are the only ones in this hall." Scolding both of them did the fiery man stopped chuckling at Star Butterfly's reaction.

"Queen moon is right. Hey Star, It's me Marco. I was wondering if you noticed it was me the entire time to be honest."

Star's jaw dropped to the floor as her eyes started to roll in cycles at the man's introduction. Marco? This was Marco? This six foot hunk of a man who looks like he could conquer many kingdoms with just his looks alone is Marco?!

"Star! Very not appropriate!"

Now noticing that she was thinking out loud did she finally blush deeply as she tried her best to comprehend what was going on.

"Yo-You.. You're Marco? Like Marco Diaz?"

"Yes Star. The one and only."

Marco gave Star his trademark smile that she finally started to connect the dots. Though most of his appearance was now different, there was still small details of Marco that was still there like the shape of his face to his smile. In fact his mole was still under his right eye on his right cheek.

AN: Yeah this was a short chapter. In fact I had everything written a few days after I posted the first chapter and wanted to post this next. Unfortunately, two days after posting chapter 1 of Fiery Bliss, I suffered at the hands of a bad car crash. Good news is that I came out fairly unharmed with a sprained spine but that took me down an emotional roller coaster. Not even four months later a family member of mine died and my interest in my hobbies just kinda died for a bit. I'm glad to be back and the comments from all you readers really helped a lot. I'm currently writing the third chapter right now and maybe write the fourth so I can post two at a time. Thank you for reading and thank you for keeping your interest in this series.
