No Ones Pov:
As Tom and Star start dancing closer and closer to the center of the room the moon has almost completed the center of the bottom with its soft red light.
A ruckus starts in the crown and a man with a skeletal face starts running at them, taking down any one who tries to get in his path. Proceeding to yell the Princess's name and attempt to grab her, Tom though swiftly interrupts his attempts by landing a swift kick to the intruder's waist, throwing him to the ground a few feet away all whilst still holding softly onto Star and getting them both further out of reach. Temporarily lets go of Star and puts her behind him. While fire starts to flicker around his hands and feet and he tries to keep control of his demon side in order not to scare Star.
"Who are you, and why are you trying to kidnap Star!"
The intruder rises back off of the floor, dusts himself off, and throws off his mask.
"You know who I am! I am Marco Diaz, Star's best friend on Earth and I am here to take her back where she belongs, which is far away from you, demon scum! I bet you haven't even told her about what tonight is all about and was just going to use this to trick her into getting back together with you! But guess what that's not going to happen!
Star is beyond upset and flabbergasted, how could he come here like this and not only not trust to but to cause this much of a scene! While Tom's inner demons are slowly getting to the best of him, even worse once he hears a sob erupt from Stars throat. Marco, has to go, now.
He turns around and masks his demons appearance and does his best to conceal his energy, not wanting to startle or upset Star anymore than she currently is, gives runs his hand over Stars head, and plants a kiss on her forehead and with that she falls asleep. Making a soft small mattress for her to lie on, one of his blankets from his room, and a protective barrier he then stops masking his demon energy. The guests disperse while the demon civilians go to the second floor and starts to make bets on what the Prince is going to do to the idiot, and how long he is going to last.
Tom's Pov:
"First off Marco, you have made a huge mistake here. Star already knew about the ball because I told her myself, so no trickery there, and not only did you upset me, someone of royal blood when you are what, a lower class child on earth living without a cent to your name? But you sir, oh am I going to have some fun with you because you did the worst thing that anyone could do to me, you made the one I love scared, upset, and cry. So now frankly you must pay the price, but lets make this fair, you can pick your weapon."
Two of my knights come in bringing in a long weapons block, which even includes the cute little pears of anguish, which I can whole heartly see Star using against someone without them knowing because she'd think it's funny using 'cute little angry pears' as a weapon. I watch as Marco goes up to the weapons block, pick out a few daggers, and then lastly a sword. Interesting selection. Let's make sure each of them gets returned straight back into him.
Like the idiot he is, he charges at me with seeming no plan what so ever but as soon as I was about to block him he flips over me and throws one of the daggers. Which pierces through my suit, now I can't feel much pain from it but crackers did I really like that suit, I picked it out just for Star and now I'm going to have to get it fixed up.
The moon will go away soon, which means Marco is about to ruin the entirety of this night! Throwing the dagger to the ground, and watching the look on his face go from smug to shock makes me let out a chuckle. Did he forget I wise a demon? I think there is something wrong with Star's friend. He gives off weirder vibes than most people living here do.
Surprisingly he continues to fight me with sword in hand, seeming even angrier than before. w I make quick work of making sure both of his hands are no longer in fighting condition by tying them up with rope that isn't the most comfiest to try getting out of. Hopefully that'll stop him for a bit. People on the second-floor start cheering and chanting, but it's time to get back to the dance and cheering up Star.
"Doctor! I need you down here stat and make it as quick as possible"
A young woman with straight long black hair comes down, if you didn't know it, you'd think she was one of the sweetest people ever.
"Lilly, I need you to get him out of here, perfably knock him out and bring him back to earth please."
"As you wish my liege, though if I might why didn't you harm him?"
"Because, I told Star that I would be a better man. I'm not going to betray her trust ever again. Sides, I get the feeling that Marco will become important to me as well in the future, just as he is to Star."
With that I turned around and headed back to Star, waking her up out of her protected bubble. Can't be sleeping on a day of unity now can we? Let's get this party started once more!
"Hey Starship, it's okay now, you can wake up, he's not here no more"
Star's Pov:
I can't believe Marco! He, he just lunged at me and tried to grab me but then Tom got in his way. Tom! He, he gave me a kiss, and then I started feeling really sleepy. What happened?
"Hey Tom, what happened? Why was I asleep, where is Marco, please tell me you didn't kill him but also please tell me he's gone,
He sets me back down to where I can stand but I lean on him for support, my legs feel like Jello!
"Okay let's see, Marco came running at you, I made sure he couldn't get to you and put you in a protective barrier after maybe causing you to fall asleep. I saw how upset you were getting and I was worried about you having a panic attack or nearly getting in the cross fire. Then he decided that he wanted to fight me, actually got me once with a dagger actually."
"He hurt you! Are you okay? Where, why did he try to attack you"
"I'm okay Starship, it was just to the back of my shoulder, and because he thinks I am trying to manipulate you into getting back together with me, and it also appears to me that he thinks that you are his, needless to say he wasn't to happy when this 'demon scum' in his words told him that you already knew about the ball before we went to start dancing. Also yes he is gone, no he is not dead, by now he should be back at his house on Earth, though I make no promises on how he might act later in regards to me. I doubt I left any reason for him to think otherwise about my lingeage, especially when I pulled out the dagger like it was nothing."
Well okay, not completely the best night but Marco's not dead, Tom's okay, and honestly Marco could probably deal with a bit of humbling after what kind of stunt he just pulled. Everyone seems to be back on the floor and not away to the sides, so I guess that means that the ball is still on right?
"So Starship, I know a lot has happened tonight, and I understand if you decide you want to just go back home and sleep, but would you care for a dance?"
"You know what Tom, I would love a dance after everything that just happened. Let's have some fun! Though could I crash at your place for the night? I don't really want to go back to Marco's house just yet."
"Yes you can sleepover we can make arrangements for that once the ball is over, and you are most definitely right, let's have some fun!"
The music turns back on, and Tom and I twirl, spin, and occasionally I get flown into the air, it really is the most fun, and then I feel something warm on my skin. It's the light of the blood moon and, it's shining on Tom and I!
Okay wow, I mean I'm not ready to go straight back into a relationship with him but I do like him, and I know he'll keep me safe. Yeah it's going to be okay, just focus on Tom. Because at the end of the day, I do want to be his girlfriend, I just want to take things slow. A wave of joy buzzes through me and I look towards Tom in shock.
"Was, was that you I felt? The like slow almost electric like feeling of joy?"
He just laughs and nods, and different emotions start flooding through. Safety, Comfort, Contentment, and if I didn't know better, I would even say love. I guess right now he's feeling all of the nerves and fear I had from just now and earlier. It's nice, relaxing even to be able to calm my feelings through this. I didn't know what this would be like but it really is nice.
The light of the blood moon fades, the guests slip away, and Tom and I start getting ready for the night. My room which is right night to his, has already been prepared for me, and I can see some cute stuffed animals making quite the contrast to the dark colored bed. We bid each other good night, him reminding me that he's only a door away, and I hop into bed realizing that these covers smell just like him. I fall asleep happy.

A/N: Soo was that an okay recreation of the blood moon ball? Was it to much? As always hope you enjoyed it! If I wasn't working on the time giving about the moon I so would have not let Marco off so easily...
