Chapter 4: Breathe, it’s alright that you asked!

“Hey gang! You ready for dinner? We’re serving a feast at monster castle!”, Star announced.

“Mo-monster, castle?”, Adrien asked.

“Don’t mind the name! You’ll love it there!”, Marco added.

“Just get in the carriage and we’ll take you there!”,

In the carriage\~

“Oh, Alya! I also want to know about Paris’ Ladybug and Chat Noir!”, Star brought up to break the awkward silence.

Alya knew it was her time to shine, she brouht out her phone and showed them pictures. She explained how an “Akuma” works, and Ladybug and Chat Noir’s power.

“Woah, so there is different kinds of Magic! I thought I destroyed all forms of it.”, Star wondered.

“How did you two meet by the way? You’re from different dimensions right?”, Marinette asked.

Marco and Star started sharing everything from when they first met and how their worlds eneded up fusing, and why Star destroyed the magic.

“That’s incredible! Now I see why you’re literally the perfect match!”, Rose excalimed.

“And you have a demon friend called Tom, and G-Globgor?”, Juleka continued.

“Don’t worry, it might sound weird how we have demons here and all, but they’re nice and Globgor is a relative, Eclipsa and him will be welcoming us.” Star explained.

“Eclipsa is the current queen of, Mewni right? I’m still getting the hang of things, but I hope I get to see more of your kingdom-Echo Creek tomorrow.”, Adrien wondered, while glimpses at Marinette.

Star and Marco picked up a “love” energy from them, the same kind with Alya and Nino.

“So are you and.. Marinette in a relationship as well?”, Star suddenly asked.

The laughter and chatter of the group stopped and looked at the both of them.

“No-no, Marinette and I are just friends! Ri-right Marinette?”, Adrien denied IMMEDIATELY!!!

“Yeah, you got it all wrong!”, Marinette added and smiled.

“LOOK! We’re here! *Awkward Laugh*”, Star yelled.

“So Adrien, is Marinette really “just a friend”?”, Marco asked while they are walking up the stairs.

“Well, things between us recently changed. I am happy with that change and all, but I don’t know why I feel like I’m not! I just wonder.”, Adrien feeling down told him anyway.

“Well, as Alya explained a while ago. “Love Sick” was one of the villains who affected all of Paris, I’m sure you just need to figure out what kind of love you lost. You can come to your friends for advice just like they said a while ago. Maybe you guys can talk about it later.”, Marco advised and headed to Star.

Adrien smiled, “They’ll understand my feelings right?”, he thought to himself.

“So uhm-Marinette. Do you have someone, oh-I don’t know... someone special in your life? Like-romantically attached person?”, Star asked while fidgeting.

“Thanks for your concern Star, I do actually. But I don’t think I really know how to express my feelings properly. I always panic around him and end up mixing my words. And after that “Love Sick” situation it all got worse!”,

“Marinette, if you aren’t ready to say anything to him. Just take your time, I’m sure your friends are saying the same thing, helping you the best way they can, and encouraging you in every way, but you need to find the perfect opportunity first. Don’t end up like me, I confessed when it was too late, and it was a very inappropriate time!”, Star told her.

“You still ended up together though.”,

“Yeah, but did I sure regret that decision!”, Star kid and laughed with Marinette.

Flashback\~

“Welcome kids, my name is Eclipsa and that is my husband Globgor.”, Eclipsa introduced herself, opening the dinig hall door and showing them Globgor in his GIGANTIC form, setting up decorations.

“Uh-uh, nice to meet you and is that adorable baby Meteora?”, Alya shocked by Globgor’s appearance shifted topic.

“Oh! Star must’ve told you all about our family! It’s nice to hear that you kids are already fascinated by everything here in Mewni. Now seat, the royal chef has already prepared dinner.Globgor dear come down now.”,

They ate dinner, ate dessert, and talked about random things they ask about each other.

Marinette and Adrien thinking about what Star and Marco said to them, couldn’t stop catching glimpses of each other, but do you think noone was noticing?! THINK AGAIN!!!! Yeah, Alya noticed, tapped Alix’s shoulder, Alix relayed the message to the girls and now they KNOW something juicy is definitely, absolutely going on.

“Hey Marinette, I noticed you keep staring at Adrien.”, Alya whispered to her.

“*Blushing* Stop-being ri-ridiculous Alya, I-I it was one time.”, she whispered back.

They finish dinner and decided to meet at monster castle again in the morning to prepare for a REAL tour.

Back in Mewni Castle\~

“Thanks again for the advice, I think I’m ready to share with my friends about it now.”, Adrien showed his gratitude to Marco, by shaking his hand.

“Glad I could help Adrien, just make sure you do it before it’s too late. Or don’t do it too early ok?”, Marco replied.

“Oh, if you both have time. We can play games?”, Alya invited them.

“Yeah! We’re all cool now!”, Nino added.

Star and Marco looked at each other and agreed.

They stayed up late alright, Marinette walked them downstairs while the others clean up.

While walking back up to their room, she saw Adrien struggling to lift up two garbage bags and decided to help.

Nino was about to help, but Alya stopped him understanding the importance of the situation for both Mari and Adrien.

“So, I see you already warmed up to the hosts, do-do you want to tour with me tomorrow?”, Adrien asked.

Marinette was confused and thought “But we’re already touring tomorrow?”,

“Jus-just the two o-of u-us.”, Adrien struggling to say it out loud.

“I-sure, I’ll meet you in front of Monster Castle after breakfast. See you there Kitty.”, Marinette replied.

What? Of they’re blushing!!!!!!

Both of them were internally screaming, when they get back to each of their rooms, they immediately told the group.

“Is this really happening?! He asked you? *Squeals*”, Alya excitedly answered after hearing about it.

“Way to go Marinette.”, Juleka added.

“Just be cool, you’re totally blushing!”, Alix teased.

“They’re right Marinette, you should calm down first.”,

They plan everything they wanted to happen that day, they consulted Marinette, she simply nodded her head still shocked from Adrien’s question.

The boys room\~

At first they were quiet, they all knew how Marinette felt towards him and imagined how she told the girls the golden question. Nino sighed.

“I have nothing more to say dude, just-know we’re here to help you in every way. What do you want us to do so we wouldn’t interfere?”, Nino said seriously.

The others nodded, and also devised a very complicated but a well thought of plan.

“Thanks for everything guys, I knew you’d help me.”, Adrien thanked them.

“Of course your boys will always be here for you! Isn’t that right?”, Nino said as words of encouragement.

“You better believe it Adrien.”, Kim added.

“That’s a hundred percent true Adrien.”, Max agreed.

Is the romance going to be relinquished?! OOOOHHHH!!!
