Day 1: Cooking

Hello everyone, Mr.E here with the first week of the @wholesome-week SVTFOE week: Cooking! yay! I hope you all enjoy it as I thank my desktop for not freaking out on me.

So basically this takes place before the episode that broke the fandom apart, Bon, bon the clown. All the other episodes have happened at this point but not yet Bon, Bon and I have a special message to go with this story

I want you to remember this is a show that we and many people love. This is a show that is smartly written, funny, clever with action, drama and so much joy and fun.A show that prompts creative and great ideas. A rare show that doesn’t come often especially in this day and age but hopefully that changes one soon.

I wrote this story to remind us all it doesn’t matter who you ship: Starco, Jarco, Janco, TomCo, JanStar, Jacan, etc etc. We are all a part of this fandom. We all love this show and while shipping is fun, remember to always respect each other. There’s no need to go to war for no reason. Life is going to throw a lot our way and Star is going to get pretty heavy with drama but so did Gravity falls and it made the show so much better. This is going to be a fun ride no matter where it goes and I haven’t been excited for a season like this since Gravity Falls. and before GF it was a long while.

Please remember to respect each other and just enjoy an amazing show. Have a great week, it’s going to be amazing with great stories and artwork and we’ll keep on having these amazing things through all fandoms. Enjoy

“Umm...” Marco's jaw hung loose as a small, almost humming-like noise escape his lips, several pairs of eyes stared at the young teen with varying degrees of amusement, concern and boredom while Marco remained motionless at the sight of them.

“Maaaaarco?” Star asked quietly, taking a ginger step forward towards her frozen best friend “Is something wrong?”

There was something terribly wrong with the sight that lay before him, something unexpected that caught him off guard and Marco was going to be completely honestly, kinda unwanted at the moment.

Marco was currently wearing his usual attire of black pants, well pressed red hoodie and gray undershirt though he also sported a cooking apron as he was prepared to make lunch for himself and Star as per her request.

He was not prepared to make lunch for 5 people.

He did not want cook for Star's ex boyfriend and his exfrienemy Tom.

He did not want to cook for his eternal and probably heavily crushing on him stalker Janna

and he did NOT to make himself a fool in front of his longtime crush Jackie.

Nope, nope, just all the nopes. This was not what he agreed to when he promised Star he was going to cook today.

“Staaaar” Marco let out as calmly as he could, ignoring Janna's attempts to hang random assortment of things on Tom's horns “Can I talk to you? Bestie to bestie?”

Star let out an excited gasp “Bestie to Bestie?! Secret tiiiiiime!”

Marco stifled a groan as Star elegantly and gracefully bounced towards him, legs fluttering joyfully with each leap.

“soooo” Star cooed, nearly tripping on her feet on the slippery floor tile, arms flailing for a moment before she caught herself and leaned expectantly towards Marco, lip bit and eyes brimming with exhilaration “what's the secret?”

“Star” Marco whispered softly, eying the other occupants of the kitchen carefully “Why are they here?! I thought you said it was lunch, not a hangout?!”

“I did and do want lunch Marco.”

“You said just us!”

“Weeeeeell” Star peered at him thoughtfully “ It was supposed to be us but then I realized why not invite all our friends? Except Ferguson and Al, they kinda just vanished and Pony Head is off underwater somewhere but I mean it's Saturday and we have nothing to do so why not have a FOOD PARTY!”

“Star” Marco muttered in a harsh whisper “I don't have enough food to feed every....”

“FOOD PARTY!” Star repeated, throwing her hands in the air with reckless abandon.

Marco let out an inaudible sigh before peeking at the trio of unexpected guests.

Tom looked as bored as ever, eying the room with a mix of apathy and curiosity.

Janna caught his gaze, shooting him a wink and a finger gun while simultaneously reaching into Tom's back pocket with her free hand.

Jackie gave a friendly wave, her face blissfully unaware of the hammering of Marco's heartbeat echoing loudly in his ears.

“So...” Marco began, pushing pass the now dancing Star “I don't know what Star told you....”

“Duh” Janna scoffed “You're not Star, of course you don't know what she told us. Geez Marco I thought you were supposed to be smart.”

“I am smart Janna” Marco replied through gritted teeth “but you know what I mean.”

“Ssshyeah, free meal.”

“Janna, I....”

“Oh come on Marco” Tom said with a sneer “you were talking about your amazing cooking skills when we hung out but I'm just not seeing it.”

Marco could already hear his dentist comments while he grinded his teeth from the audacity of Tom's claim.

“Marco?”

His rage faded away within a moment as Jackie's soft, lazy drawl called to him.

“It's okay if this was more people than you were expecting” Jackie told him reassuringly “we can just order out or something if you don't have enough food.”

“ha!” the sound of laughter felt forced to even his ears “Of course I have enough for everyone! Ha ha ha, just give me a second, you're all here before I thought you would be.”

“You sure Marco?”

“Psst yeah” Marco answered with a confident smack “I'm a master cook of this home. I can easily make us lunch.”

Marco turned around, Star noticing his confident smirk fall into a face known only as full mental breakdown.

“oooooh” Star nodded in understanding, hand tucked under her chin “I see, I see. We don't have enough for everyone.”

“No!” Marco snapped before sheepishly dropping the facade “yes? I mean you told me it was just us today Star! You didn't mention anything about Janna or Tom or even JACKIE!”

The pair of best friends glanced backwards to their guests, Tom snarling at a grinning Janna with Jackie giving the duo a thumbs up.

“ugh” Marco moaned in defeat “Let's get this over with.”

Okay, Marco told himself, it wasn't as bad as he thought initially.

Luckily he did in fact have enough to make a rather filling meal for the five of them so getting the hungry teenagers food wasn't going to be a problem.

What was going to be a problem was the amount of time. If it had been Star and himself, it would've been an easy 10 minutes tops. 5 people, however, was going to take a longer amount of time and given one was a lying demon jerk, another was his kleptomaniac stalker who loved playing with him with the last being the girl he was crushing on hard, Marco was going to one heck of a time trying to keep everything going smoothly.

“Don't worry Marco” Star beamed cheerfully “I'll help out”

Despite the fact she was the source of the entire problem, Marco could feel his body relax at the sight of his best friend, her blue eyes with determination, her lips cocked into a confident smile. hHe felt a spark of hope. Maybe they could do this. Maybe this wouldn't turn into a total disaster. With Star's help, maybe....just maybe they could....

Nope.

Total disaster.

Marco could feel his eye twitch at the sight of the chaos that broke out just a few minutes into the task.

Well maybe total disaster wasn't the current level but he could feel that threat loom over himself.

Despite how much he cared, and god knows loved her, Star was no help in the kitchen.

For that one brilliant moment of reassurance from the magical princess, he had completely believed her.

and utterly forgot that she came from another dimension and hadn't the slightest clue how to use or operate any sort of Earth appliance or what Earth foods tasted good together.

He remembered this little fact when Star attempted to mix a banana with a piece of uncooked meat into the blender. He barely managed to stop her in time.

It was amazing how natural life with his best friend was. He could barely remember a time that Star wasn't around, hanging out and just having fun.

Of course that came with the disadvantage of lapsing memory when it came to ordering Star to do basic tasks.

Marco sweated profusely, the heat from the pan and sizzling pieces of meat filling the kitchen area almost as distracting as the occasional popping of grease jumping from the metal cooking utensil.

“Great job Marco” Janna called out idly “Smells great. Can't wait to eat.”

“You're not helping Janna!”

“I'm a guest” Janna answered quickly “It's rude for me to intrude in your personal space.”

“Like you believe in personal space” Marco muttered under his breath.

“What was that?” Janna shot back.

“Nothing” Marco rolled his eyes and turned only to find himself staring face to face to a bull angry Star glaring at the refrigerator, stance wide and fingers clenched.

“Star?”

Star huffed, wand held tight “YOU WILL REVEAL YOUR CONTENTS MAGICAL ICE BOX!”

Marco paled remebering Star never used the fridge before!

“Star!” “Mega Marshmallow smash!”

Tom, Jackie and Janna sat around the dining room table as plums of pink magical clouds and the shrieking of Marco's girlish scream intermingled with melodic keyboard jingles and fierce battle cries.

“So...” Janna said out loud “anyone else get the feeling that Marco wasn't ready to feed all of us?”

“Star!”

The trio turned to the kitchen in time to see Marco skidding across the floor, smoky and slightly charred as Star rushed after him, wand ablaze and panic in her eyes.

“I think Star didn't tell him we were coming” Jackie added carefully.

Tom clicked his tongue “Classic Star. She probably got distracted by something cute and adorable.”

“Or violent” Janna chimed in.

Tom nodded in agreement “Or violent.”

“So....” Jackie glanced at the hellish demon “You and Star dated?”

“yep” Tom replied

“Why'd you break up?”

“Umm.....no idea.”

Janna rolled her eyes “Typical response. I bet you have a temper.”

“I DO NOT!”

Tom didn't know what was worse: the small flame that caught the tip of Janna's beanie or her knowing, smug smirk as she casually doused the flames with her hand.

“niiiiiice” she spoke with a wink

Tom shifted uncomfortably under Janna's playful gaze.

“Should we order pizza?” Jackie asked “I mean Marco looks pretty stressed and Star seems to be.......escalating things”

Jackie slowly returned Marco's frantic wave, a wild warnicorn carrying off the cook by his hood while a Star chasing close behind with a salad fork and butter knife in hand.

“nah” Janna waved Jackie's concern “he's goooot this. Right Marco?”

“Of course!” Marco answered with a shaky grin, still held hostage by the stampeding magical mount “Everything is fine!”

“FIIIIIIINE!” Star called out, her uneasy face not matching her response “JUST FINE!”

“See fine” Tom gestured to Star and Marco

There was a thickness in the air that was only broken by the fearful cries of Marco, the battle lust determination grunts of Star and the huffing and neigh of the warnicorn.

Janna frowned as more and more sounds of destruction join the chaotic musical that filled the Diaz household

“yeeeeah” Janna sighed dramatically “We better order the pizza or else we're never going to eat.”

“Yeah good idea” Jackie agreed “It'll be easier on Marco” a loud crack “and the house.”

“Kay” Janna pulled out her bright pink cell phone

“Pink?” Tom couldn't keep the surprise out of his tone “You?”

“yeah” Janna threw the demon a glare “and unless you want the most girly, pinkest hat I can find super glued to your head, you better keep quiet.”

Tom rose his hands defensively “I won't, I won't....hey can we get anchovies on the pizza?”

“UUUUUUUGH anchovies!? What kind of demonic hell spawn are you?”

“hey, do you know how hard it is to find anchovies in the Underworld?”

“I assume not at all given normal people just toss them out. Seriously you have no idea how uncool you just made demons look ”

Tom frowned furiously, rising to his feet with his hands blazing with a pure white flame, the heat from the fire charring the table a light crispy black.

“I AM TOM, SON OF THE LORD OF THE UNDERWORLD AND I DEMAND ANCHOVIES! IF MY WILL IS NOT MET, I WILL BURN YOUR SKIN AWAY AND CHAR YOUR VERY...AH!”

The flames died, the insufferable waves of heat generated by the demon cooled while splashes of water caught Tom's eyes, stinging and burning as he tried to shield himself from the watery barrage.

“No” Janna scolded, splashing Tom with the tiny watergun she hid in her pocket “Bad demon.

Tom snarled and hissed, clawing at the tiny plastic weapon but flinched when Janna's attack caught his eye a second time.

“Calm prima donna” Janna told him with a roll of her eyes “We'll get you your stinky anchovies. Ugh I thought the torment happened when I died, not here.”

Silent return as the chaos in the kitchen appeared to have been calmed.

Jackie stared at Janna, Janna stared at Tom, Tom stared at Janna.

A halcyon quiet.

Then Janna shot Tom once again.

Content and peacefully moans of joy and happiness hung in the air as 4 of the 5 teens happily enjoyed their gooey, yummy lunch (Anchovies for Tom as promised by Janna)

Poor burnt stained Marco, on the other hand, stared at his plate, face fallen and filled with disappointment.

“Marco?”

Marco turned to the soft, gentle voice that called his name, unsurprised to find Star staring at him, worry and concern in her eyes.

“What's wrong?”

Marco sighed, realizing it was best to be honest rather than prideful like he was earlier.

“I'm sorry for ruining lunch.” Marco apologized “I'm sorry I did something I clearly couldn't. I'm sorry I fought tooth and nail for something that wasn't worth it. That I wasn't honest with you...and myself. And now I destroyed the kitchen and we had to order out....”

“You're an idiot”

All eyes snapped to Janna leaning back in her chair, pizza one hand and arm slung across the back of her seat.

“Who cares if the day didn't go as plan? Who cares if it wasn't what we expected? What matters is we're here and we're eating this well made, amazingly delicious food. Together.”

“yeah” Star nodded in agreement “friends”

“yeah, sure, whatever” Tom muttered, the eye roll and disinterested look plaster on his face only for show, masking the true joy he felt with these...humans.

Oh and Star.

“Wow Janna” Jackie patted her best friend's shoulder, clearly impressed “That was really mature and nice of you.”

“yeah” Marco chimed in “That was pretty cool”

“I know right?” Janna leaned further back in her chair “and I take the pizza you paid for Marco as thank you.”

Marco bit into a pizza, agreeing with Janna until he fully processed her words.

Marco coughed, choking on the food he once enjoyed before throwing a deathly glare towards his stalker.

“JANNA!”
