#(ahhhhh are you even real you're too nice ;w;)

[tsuki-sennin]

Today we get to (maybe) finally learn a little something about Empress Underg! Yeah, about time, am I right? What exactly inspires so much fear from her minions and yet such unwavering loyalty from Skearhead? What could she have possibly wanted from Elle before? And why does she now seek the Pretty Cure's demise? ...only one of these questions will probably be answered, but hey~!

Spoilers, I guess...

-Shalala Real!

-Ahhhhh, Tsubasa's got the secret to perpetual motion in his lap.

-Ahhhhh, I see. It reverses destruction itself, does it?

-Purifcation~!

-Ohhhhhh

-Oh, that's not a good sign.

-Shalala's gonna be our twist villain, isn't she?

-If I had a nickle for everytime a PreCure series I watched had its real main villain be a high-ranking knight... Actually, I'd probably have several nickles. Y'know, with Butler, Fennel, Joker if you wanna be technical on what a knight is, Kawarino if you also wanna be technical on what qualifies as a main villain... Bah, whatever, point of this scene is!

-Research binges pay off, Tsubasa-kun!

-Ageha's taking you out shopping~!

-Oh... oh wow, you're... hella gorgeous. Goddamn, you've got hips for days.

-And yet Miss Sky Blue Sapphic herself seems to take little notice...

-"These 18-19 year old clothes sure are conveniently fitting on my 30 something frame."

-Absolutely wild that this actual goddamn robot's treated so casually, but uh

-Well, I don't mind too much, this isn't the cyberpunk/psychic powers 2020s I was promised.

-And here Sora sits... alone.

-Not even noticing our dear Mashiron...

-A chance to stretch with the Captain~!

-Into the bushes with you!

-"I suppose a lie's a little too much for a pure-hearted hero-type."

-A moment's hesitation... and all her questions rise to the surface.

-"I'll find my own answer."

-I love how gently the music comes in, only to stop just the same way.

-"I get that. This is my reason though..."

-Introspectiooooooooon~!

-She got you there, Tsubasa-kun.

-The resolve to find that answer's been found!

-Farewell, Shalala!

-...so uh... is nobody gonna accompany her, or...?

-No, okay, that's fine!

-You're finally getting some sunshine, boy!

-Oh fuck, Skearhead.

-Ah, yep~! There it is~!

-"Hmph. Suppose I'll try something simpler this time. Kyoborg! Style on those impudent children."

-If this were anybody but Skeebo, I'd say he did this on accident.

-OH

-OKAY HJKLH

-"Yeah, go talk about this with Skearhead!"

-Good job, Wing-kun!

-Ikki ni ikuze! ...w-wait, no...

-We're gonna fuckin' throw her!

-Fly, Sky~!

-Right outta the sky!

-He can't be all bad with love on his side, right?

-"And?"

-Did your trainer only teach you Shadow Ball, Skeebo?

-Oh, he's doing this Freeza style.

-"This isn't your problem anymore, Cure Sky. The dead have no worries left. Nice job, idiot."

-Naivety becomes her heroic strength.

-Hirogaruuuuu... Sky Punch~!

-"Ohhhhhhh, that's not good."

-Wow, he just noped right out of there.

-Didn't even stay for the finisher.

-...sound tactical move, actually. He avoids the lecture and reports back to the Empress in record time.

-He might have a reason... but is that reason really so good he'd hurt innocent people?

-And still we're not even an inch closer to knowing the truth of Empress Underg...

-The Shalala Twist angle I'm going for seems like an obvious pick, but there's honestly no real way to speculate on what the Empress's is deal is besides how power-hungry and scawy she allegedly is.

-Battamonda~!

-Again~!

-Oh fuck, he's roided out!

-He's finally having that big final villain battle he always wanted.

-Right, see you next time, I guess~!

[saintobio]

The way this chapter made my heart hurt and flutter at the same time. The “Mrs. Zenin” had a nice ring dont ya think😏😏😏. Toji is so sweet to the MC and I think it’s so refreshing to watch their relationship blossom.

Gojo on the other hand😐… can still take a long walk off a short pier. It’s so ironic how he feels bad for Sera bc she feels insecure compared to Y/N. like how do you think your wife feels sir???? you barely interact with her and when you do you’re demeaning ASF. do you ever tire of being a dickhead? and idk why he just expects her to be happy-go-lucky after he comes back with a getaway with his mistress. and Ms. Sera maybe you wouldn’t feel insecure if you weren’t willingly sleeping w a married man😫😫😫

but I just live for when the MC talks her shit back to Gojo like you go girl LET HIM KNOW! i hope we definitely get to see more of her speaking her mind

This chapter was😮‍💨🤌🏽 Ai! You always come through and make my weeks worth something. I hope you’re taking care of yourself and prioritizing your health before anything. Make sure you’re eating a whole bunch and staying hydrated! Can’t wait to see what’s in store for Chap. 7!

that “mrs. zen’in” sounded real nice i can’t even lie to you 😭 felt like it just ROLLED off the tongue omfg i LOVE the dynamic/relationship of toji & mc so much 🥺

Anonymous said

The moment I read, "Hey, drunkhead" I can't help but squeal! 🤩 Their moment together was so cute I think Toji will be a great mentor to her for when she starts trudging into the business world, hands on. He's so sweet I almost wanna ship. And don't even get me started with that "MRS. ZEN'IN?!" OMG! 😍 Another cute interaction, right there!🤲🏻😌

I love it when she finally started acting cold and was so consistent with it until Gojo tried to be more affectionate 😅 I almost got swayed too ngl ('cause I'm a Gojo-simp, I'm sorry ��). I love the pool moment and also the part where she said "you don't have to hug me" but he won't let go. Sir, I— I swear I— but then I remembered the McLaren scene 😠 and whooop, who are you again? 😀 Yep it's gonna take you more than that, sir 😌

To think that Y/N even plan on apologizing to Sera for sleeping with her own husband, girl, you're too kind you might pass through heaven and miss it 🤷🏻‍♀️—🌾

@brivetaroundtown said

AHHHHH YN SHOULD BE MRS TOJI. I don’t give a shit what Gojo promised when he was six, he told Sera the fuckin truth, that YN would never have him. but jokes on Sera she’ll never have him either

I want more of MC being calm and truthful. Gojo deserves to suffer.

I do think Gojo’s mom was shitty though leaving her son in that situation. Probably the reason he is such a jackass now.

You’re writing is amazing and I am so emotionally invested in this story

gosh i feel like if mc got fed up and leave assh*le gojo he would have the same nightmare he has when his mom left him, theres huge possibility possibility that he would be mentally ill due to the stress n all that drama 😔

ON THE OTHER HAND MR TOJI ZENIN THOOO 😍 (literal heart eyes when i read his part 💕) MRS. ZENIN? YES PLSS 😙🤲 (personally would leave gojo dumbass any day now for toji 😋). TOTALLY WANT TO HAVE MC HAVING A MOTHER N SON RELATIONSHIP WITH bb boy megs😌, like he would treat her like a 2nd mom n all (gojo would be totally jealous like "why cant we have our own 😔" then mc be like "suck to be u then, i aint gonna be ur baby momma 🤪) toji x mc (with bb boy meg) = happy family 💗👪

that b*tch sera 🤢 tho im so pissed at her like wtf girl ur the mistress i just wanna 🔪🔪🏃‍♀️😤

i have a question regarding gojo's mom 👉👈, does she have a deeper reason why she left gojo with his sh*t abusive father 🤢. i like her tho she seem cool

and the last part where gojo told mc about the promise they made when they were 6 about a baby? im in confusion 😞

sorry for the wack english hehe 😜

-🍄 anon

MRS. ZEN’IN !!! it does sound nice sdnsj imagine how gojo feels when he hears that lol mans not gonna like it ��

[kyunsies]

I respect the immense dedication you have to this blog (and to nursing too, it's inspiring to me in a way) and yes I agree w what you said about follow era, the styling was really good,, esp the outfits minhyuk and changkyun wore in the iconic MX fits practice,, I believe they're inspired by traditional Korean clothing but I could be wrong. If not it's always nice to see idols wear costumes inspired by their heritage/background. It's a shame that it left a scar bc wow it would've been such a good era :((

How are you doing though? I believe you're off work for the week so it must be nice to have that much time for yourself! I might set up my bullet journal for July because I haven't done that yet T-T but I finally have the time for it bc it's kind of time consuming - even if I keep it really simple - 🌱

really it’s nothing 😭😭😭😭 i really enjoy having this blog, i love the ppl i have meant here and i love talking to all of you :( and i love mx + making content ofc !!! it’s something i want to make time for no matter how busy it gets 💖

but AHHHHH follow find you era was actually amazing :( it’s a shame that everything happened then bc i think it really was a huge change of pace for them in a good way !! the outdoors were amazing the styling was amazing the music was amazing 🥺 and u r is one of my favorite mx songs of all time so i just have a real soft spot for that album ;___;

i’m doing good tho angel !! it was a good and relaxing morning, and yeah i have the week off so i’m happy about not having to wake up at 6am by force :’) oooooo bullet journaling !!!!!! i could never do those bc i don’t have enough patience to make stuff look nice KDJKDKD but it looks nice and i’m sure yours will turn out well 💖

[genosus]

i just followed you but honestly all your gifs and edits are so pretty!!!!! i really love the colors! what kind of sorcery is this omg TT

asdfghjklhdj lol xD you’re too sweet whatt……..! thank you so much cutie i’m so happy you like them and thanks for taking the time to tell me this it really made my day \(//∇//)\♡♡♡♡♡

[franeridart]

hey I hope you're happy (since you obviously deserve it)

!!!!!!!!!! Thank you??? I hope you’re happy too, anon!!!

Anon said:Wow Tetsutetsu and Kaminari like a couple? Really? Ok, that is interesting, but I don’t know if it is possible. Why do you put them together?

I mean, it’s a crack ship, being possible isn’t really its point haha they’re not supposed to make much sense, as far as canon goes? If I remember right they do come from the same prefecture, so maybe they knew of each other/ knew each other before UA, but as far as I’m concerned my interest in the ship comes from the quirk compatibility, really. It’s nothing I put much thought into, and I do have many ships for both of them I like better, but the idea of the two of them together is fun so why not

Anon said:The kamitetsu was really cute!!! It was also really super cute when two people spoke at the same time/had the same thought you mixed their colors!!! That was honestly a very nice touch and cute! I love your art it makes me so happy!

AHHHHH THANK YOU!!!!!! And I’m glad you liked that, for a while I thought mixing the colors like that was gonna make it confusing hahaha

Anon said:Just stopped by to say your artwork makes me so incredibly happy, and always improves my day!! I hope you have a great rest of the year because you deserve it!! Thank you for everything you do!

Sob thank you so much for taking the time to send this message!!!!! Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!

Anon said:I’m sorry for clogging your inbox with this (you don’t have to write back), but wanted to say I hope you feel better real soon and also to say thank you (so very much!!) for sharing your art. Selfish of me to say so, but it really really has cheered me up after a bad day. Lots of love to you!

I’m!!!! So happy I could help you feel better, anon!!!!! I hope your day is going 100x better, right now!!!! And thank you for the well wishes ;u;

Anon said:have you thought about this or what do you think about it?: Tokoyami / Mina ?

Never thought about it before, actually :O but why not? I’m not sure they’d work as far as personalities go, but they’re definitely aesthetically pleasing next to each other! Their designs work well together haha

Anon said:*Climbs out of the chimney, covered in soot and very disgruntled* I’ll have you know, good sire. *Tips hat.* That I just read the entirety of the Dgray man because of your laven art. And I- *Dabs at eyes, voice cracking* -am having more feelings than I ever wanted.

AAAHHHHHH I’M SORRY FOR THE UNWANTED FEELS but I’m??? so glad you decided to check the manga out????????????? I hope you liked it oh g o d that manga is my life !!!

Anon said:This isn’t like a “secret request for a drawing” but don’t you think there needs to be a hug between Deku and All Might somewhere in the manga?!? I mean c'mon, Deku cries at the drop of a hat, someone give the boy a hug! Plus, I feel like All Might is a kind of father figure for Deku!! Sorry, I just needed to get that out XD. Love your artwork though!! My heart skips a beat at the sight of it. And my love for Baku and Kiri has been extended.

We actually had one tho!

an heartbreaking moment I 100% understand why you’d remove from your memory tbh, I cried, I’m still crying

Anon said:OOF i love your OCs..

Anon said:Heyyy I just wanted to say that I love your art with all my heart and the cat person/dog person one was so lovely.. I’m weak to kiribaku with animals.

So am I anon aaahhhhh !!!!!!!!! and thank you so so so so so much!!!!

Anon said:Just curious… do you have a personal favorite of your own art that you’ve posted?

Hmmmm not really, but if I had to pick one it’d be this one (which… does say something about my process and how to make it better……..) (a something I’m willingly ignoring) anyway usually what I’m the most satisfied with is the last thing I’ve posted haha

Anon said:Your art style brings out Kirishima’s adorableness even more. Holy heck I love how cute he is when you draw him. (And Bakugou and the rest of the kids too!)

THANK YOU!!!!!! I think it might be because I find him so incredibly cute, so I try to portray just how cute I think he is the most hahaha I’m glad I’m managing that well enough!!!!

Anon said: Hello~ Sending some love because you deserve it! I was having a shitty day (as always for me these days) and saw your Baku and Kiri cat & dog art and instantly felt a little better. My heart always feels lifted, and a smile replaces my tears, when I see your beautiful art! Even the kinda sad ones. If my heart hurts a bit from the sad arts, at least it’s because of the love expressed in the piece, and not heartache from personal things. Thank you, as always, for sharing your work.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you for the kind words oh my god!!!!!! ;O;

Anon said:IS BAKU WEARING A RED RIOT SHIRT AND DOES THE DOG HAVE A RED RIOT PAULDRON COLLAR AND IS KIRI WEARING A BAKU SHIRT

YES TO ALL OF IT!!!!!! :D

Anon said:i just want to tell you i’m now 10000 times gayer than i was before i’m blushing so much at your latest bakushima art… it’s sososo Good, i love you

:O thank you!!!!! I love you lots too!!!!

Anon said: I see you ship Bakugo and Kiri together. Why do you ship them? Just wondering cause i love hearing why people ship certain people. P.S: i soooooooo ship them as well.

God, that’s one hard question to answer easily - I somewhat talked about it here? tho it was more specifically about why chapter 90 kills me haha but yeah to sum it up I’d say that my favorite ship for Kirishima is Bakugou because I think he’s the one that understands Kirishima best, the one that’s been there the most for him when Kirishima needed it, the one that always knows what to say to him and the one Kirishima holds onto when he needs strength, he’s the one that’s shown the most concern for Kirishima and the only one that’s actively done something to make him feel better when Kirishima needed it. He’s the one Kirishima gravitates towards the most and the one Kirishima shows most sides of himself to, too. And my favorite ship for Bakugou is Kirishima because Kirishima’s the only one that actually tries to see behind Bakugou’s anger, the one that since the start looked at him rage and saw a teen in pain, the only one that actually knows how to talk to him and the only one that doesn’t even need to try, he’s just naturally Bakugou’s perfect match in personality. He’s the one that likes Bakugou as he is, for what he is, not part of him but all of him, completely. He’s the one that’d risk his life for Bakugou no questions asked, and he’s the one Bakugou’s the most willing to spend time with, the one Bakugou talks to and shares with and accepts help from. 

I like the relationship they share with each other the most out of every other relationship they have with other characters because they’re comfortable with one another and care for one another in an active way, do everything they can to make sure the other is happy and safe. Because they’re each other’s strength and greatest ally and best friend. I like that they’re aware of each other, that they know each other, that they like each other - not in a subtext kind of way, but in an obvious, on screen, there-was-a-chapter-in-which-that-was-actually-spelled-out way. I like how Kirisihima always knows what’s up with Bakugou, and I like how he’s the proxy to go to when people don’t know where Bakugou is, and I like that he always knows. I like that it’s implied they spend a lot of time alone together. I like that Kirishima said that Bakugou has a broken way of talking, but he isn’t a bad guy and he can’t say he dislikes how Bakugou tends to make enemies left and right, and I like that Bakugou took his hand and smiled at him. I like that Bakugou never yells at him and always calls him by name and never ignores him, and I like that Kirishima calls him out on his rudeness but still likes him and supports him and follows him. I like their relationship the most because it’s the most important relationship for either of them, because it’s healthy and equal and happy, and I ship it because seeing it as romantic from where they stand now, to me, isn’t a huge step at all

And I like this ship above any other ship, even above the ships with other characters that share similar relationships as far as support and love goes, because they’re fun, and rowdy, and bright and loud and dynamic, and I have fun thinking about them interacting more than I have fun thinking about anyone else. And because they’re separately my favorite characters, and I think together they’d be the happiest they could ever manage, and I really, really want that for both them. To be happy with the person that understands them the most and loves and supports them the most, and with whom they can be the most comfortable and open and at peace. I think they could be home to each other, really. They’re a pretty obvious ship, to me haha

Anon said:My dude! Have you seen the trailer for the new Guillermo del Toro movie? Shape of water? It has some similarities to your shark kiri au!

I’ve read some things, yeah :O hadn’t really linked it to the AU tho, that’s an interesting observation !!!!

Anon said:the RR on baku’s wristband is for Red Riot, i assume? :)

YESSSS I tend to dress Bakugou in Red Riot merch a lot hahaha

Anon said:FRAN oml those bakugous??? Are amazing???? I love love love the lines so much they look so good and clean and sharp and I don’t have words but they’re just so so good the poses are amazing and ahhhhhh you did??? So good?? I feel like you’re constantly improving so much it’s amazing ahhhhhh I’m so in love w ur style I !!! Hope ur having a lovely day!!! Bless you

THANK!!!! YOU!!!! SO MUCH!!!!!!! Holy shit I’m crying !!!!!!! g o ds o

Anon said:Hi! I’m new to the BNHA fandom, and really love your art! I’m just starting to get into BakuShima and TodoDeku too, but just a couple days ago I read you say that MomoJirou are also pretty obvious about their gayness, including one time you saying you’re completely sure Kirishima and Jirou have a crush on those two canonically and, could I ask you to explain this to me? I’m all about it, this is not a complain! I just want to know more about them, thank you!

I wouldn’t say they’re canonically into them, but I do feel like, if I were to point someone they might be romantically into, that’s who I’d point to hahaha but yeah Jirou and Momo! They haven’t appeared much in canon so after all there isn’t too much behind the ship, more for shortage of scenes than anything else, but Jirou tends to blush a lot around Momo, she’s really protective of Momo, she’s pointed out how cute Momo is on more than one occasion, and their friendship is seriously cute - they’re always together? And when they’re not Jirou gravitates towards Momo a lot, you see her in the background waving at Momo or walking towards Momo really really often - of course all of these things can (and most probably are) just proofs of their being best friends! But it’s a good relationship I love a lot, which is why I ship it~

Laughing Gas

"LOOK A CROCODILE!"

The mother and her child glanced at Star they passed by the two best friends, confused about what in the world the princess was talking about.

Marco apologetically smiled at them as they passed and tried to hide his embarrassment. "That's not a crocodile, Star…"

"Why are you whispering to me like that? It's tingling my ear…" she whispered back rather intimately.

Marco's heart raced as he blushed madly at the sensation. "S-sorry!" His voice cracked.

"It's okay. You know why?"

"...Uhh-"

"Cuz you're my BEEEST FRIENNNND~" Star slurred, throwing her body onto his.

The boy sighed. He knew he should've taken her to the dentist after that trip to the candy dimension. Apparently Star had too many cavities, so they had to put her under with some laughing gas. Good news, they fixed her teeth. Bad news, she's still a little… confused. She rambled on about some great escape plan from school with Janna or something about multiple versions of herself fighting over a monster finger. Even for her standards, that sounds plain silly. The princess' incoherent sentences attracted the eyes of several bystanders, gathering more unwanted attention to the pair. People whispered, pointing at the two as they walked by. Marco could overhear their conversation, some saying how they feel bad for him, while others saying how adorable that he's taking good care of his girlfriend. Wait… girlfriend? Marco rolled his eyes and took Star's hand, trying to speed up their journey home.

"Marco, something's grabbing me,"

"That's my hand, Star."

"There's something grabbing your hand too!"

"That's your hand, Star."

"Whoa, it's attached to someone's red hoodie!"

"That's me, Star!"

"Where are we going?"

"Home."

"I don't want to go back to Mewni!"

"My home."

"At least take me out to dinner first."

"Star! Inappropriate!"

"No, really. Take me out to dinner. I'm hungry."

"Sorry, but the doctors said you shouldn't eat anything for another hour."

The princess pouted. "Hmph. And I thought I knew you. You're going to let me starve!"

"If you eat now, your teeth are going to get worse-"

Star gasped, coming to a halt, jerking Marco's arm. "Look! Fooooooood…"

He turned to see her pointing at a burger stand across the street. The boy groaned, trying to drag Star along. "Starrrrr, I told you already. You can't eat yet."

"But Marcooooo…"

"We're not going to let the dentist's work go to waste."

Star firmly gripped Marco's hand and stood tall. "As princess of Mewni, I demand you give me that burger!"

"Get out of town! You're going to bring royalty into this?"

"Yeah."

"And you think that'll work?"

"Yeah."

Marco squinted at his friend who stared back at him, still dazed from the laughing gas. "..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...Fine. We'll get a burger."

"Yaaayyyyyyy!" Star hugged the boy and dragged him across the road through ongoing traffic, causing some minor accidents along the way.

"Star, you just walked through-"

"One of your finest burgers please!" She said to the owner of the stand, offering him money.

The man gave her the food, still fresh from the rotisserie.

"Thank you, sir!" She took the burger and shoved it in front of Marco's face. "Say 'ahhhhh'."

Marco tried to push her arm away. "No thanks. I'm not that hungry."

His protest had little effect on the Star. She continued to push it towards his mouth. "Aaaaahhhhhh."

"Hey, you're the one that's hungry." He pushed the food away.

"Marco?"

"Yes?"

"Eat the hot dog!"

"Star, that's a burger not- mph!" Star was able to push the burger into his mouth. Surprised, he bit off the sandwich and swallowed without thinking, causing him to choke a bit. "S-Star!"

"You're welcome!~"

Marco grumbled as he watched Star eat her meal. "So much for clean teeth…"

"Did you say something, Marco?"

"No, nothing. And don't talk with your mouth full."

"Okaayyyy~" she said with her mouth full.

The boy shook his head and began to pull Star along to his house. It didn't take long getting back home, surprisingly. All Marco had to do was stop Star from running in the middle of the street, stealing a little girl's bike, and using magic on squirrels thinking they were monsters. One of those events may have caused more problems than the other (can you guess which one?). Fortunately, no one was hurt and Marco successfully carried the half conscious Star back to the Diaz household. The two entered the living room to find no one home yet.

"Huh… guess my parents aren't home yet."

"My homes aren't parents either…"

Marco glanced at his friend, who was in the middle of falling asleep. Her eyes struggled to stay open and her head kept nodding back, only to wake up momentarily every now and then. He smiled as he carried her upstairs to her room and placed her on the bed. After tucking her in, he sighed, stretching out his arms. "Okay, Star. How are you doing?"

"I'm not doing anything, mister mole."

"Still loopy. Got it."

"Hey, you. Kid. Come here. I have a secret to tell you," she said, motioning him to come closer.

"Kid? C'mon, Star. I'm your best friend. At least call me by my name."

"Shhh shhh shh…" The princess placed a finger on his lips, trying to stop him from talking. Marco rolled his eyes and came closer. "I-I… I… I have a secret… to tell you…"

He nodded. "Yes… you said that already-"

"Sssshhhhhhhhh….." Marco was unamused by this. Star continued. "You can't tell anyone."

"I promise I won't tell anyone."

"Good… I…"

Marco looked at Star, her face red, her hearts glowing bright. He wasn't quite sure what to expect. All he knew was that his heart raced.

"Love…"

His eyes widened. Could she really…

"...Warnicorns…"

And just like that, his heart sank. While disappointed, he couldn't help but start laughing. What else did he expect? Star's too far gone to make any real sense. He decided to play along. "What? No way! That can't be!"

Star giggled. "Yeah, it's true."

"Your secret's safe with me, princess! Now I think it's time you go to sleep, Star-"

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, I was kidding…"

"You don't like warnicorns?"

"That wasn't my secret."

Marco raised an eyebrow. "Oh. Okay. Then what is your secret? Glossaryck doesn't actually like pudding?"

She started to laugh. "No, silly! Star has a crush on you!"

"Ohh, okay, that makes total sense- WHAT!?"

"Shhhh…" she placed a finger on his lips again. "Don't tell Star I said that. She'll be reeeaaaallly mad at me if I told anyone that she likes Marco… oh, and make sure Marco doesn't find out either. He has a crush on Jackie…"

"...Star… w-what… did you just say?"

She began to giggle, her eyes slowly shutting. "I think… you would look nice in... royal... clothes…" With that, the princess fell asleep, completely unaware of what she just said.

Marco on the other hand was having a complete overload. His heart was beating out of his chest, his eyes wide as he stared at Star. He felt blood rush to his face as he tried to process what he just heard. He put a hand to his face to make sure his skin wasn't on fire. He had to be dreaming, right? He just misheard her… right? She… she's still under the effects of the laughing gas… that has to be it, right?

"Star…"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Star entered the kitchen, yawning as she stretched her arms out. "Good morning, Marco…" she said lazily.

Marco jumped at her voice and nervously smiled at her. "G-good morning…"

Star noticed his uneasiness and leaned forward. "Heyyyy… something's wrong…"

"W-what? No, no way. Nothing's wrong!"

The princess squinted her eyes at Marco before shrugging, grabbing a bowl of cereal. After taking her first bite, she smiled. "Man, my teeth feel great! And you said there wasn't any magic here on Earth."

"Yeah…"

"Oh, by the way, Marco! Check this out. This morning, I got a text from… guess who! Oscar! Can you believe it! I mean, he texted me!"

Marco gave a quizzical look to his friend. "You're… excited about that?"

Star looked at him in disbelief. "Well, duh! I've only been trying to get him to notice me for months now. And it finally paid off~" she sang.

"So… you… don't remember what you said last night?"

"Did I say something important?"

Marco stared at Star before cracking up himself. "Well… yeah… you did do some pretty crazy stuff."

Star's eyes widened. "Ooohhhh, I hope you took videos! I heard it's really funny when you use that magic gas stuff. What'd I do? Oh! What'd I say?"

He shrugged. "Well… I guess it doesn't really matter. You were just saying a bunch of crazy things. I'm sure you didn't mean most of it."

"Aw, so no videos?"

"Maybe next time." Marco looked at his watch. "Alright, time to go meet Sensei. I'll see you later, Star!"

He quickly left, carrying his gym bag with him and shutting the front door, leaving Star in the kitchen. The smile that was on her face faded as she sighed, stirring the bowl of cereal with her spoon. "That was too close…" she muttered. While Star was relieved to have convinced Marco that what she said last night was fake, she couldn't help but feel her heart tear itself to pieces as she covered up her feelings all too well.
