Unfinished Hope Lewd from a year ago.

	Marco was busy watching tv in the evening, his parents were out and Star was with one her friends. He cherished moments like these. As much as he liked Star, nothing beats some peace, quiet and Netflix minus the chill. But if Jackie was his he would go for the chill. He would chill her so hard she'd shit out a snowman the next day.Yet as it stands life was pretty good barring a few things; which is why his quiet time always gets unceremonuisly interrupted by someone or something. And sure enough a few hours after into it Star came home. Which would fine, if she hadn't brought a crying Hope home with her.

"What happened? Were you two attacked? Was it Ludo?Toffee?Disgruntled black lives matter activists?" Marco said in a huff. Granted they did not look like they were in a fight; they were a little wet but thats probably cuz of the light rainstorm outside.

Star ushered Hope to the couch and told her to take a seat. Marco scooted over and scratched his head still wondering whats going on. To his surprise Hope grabbed onto him and cried into his shoulder. He paused Daredevil, and gently peeled her off himself, stood up and motioned Star to join him in the kitchen.

"Excuse me Hope, I gotta go and talk to my associate. Be right back." Marco mumbled to her as he yanked Star away with him.

"Seriously, whats going on? My dad always said nothing good comes from a crying white girl coming into your house on a stormy night." Marco said half jokingly.

Star looked past him and into the living room. Hope had her head down with her arms crossed. "We were hanging out at her place, just having fun. Then after a while we started hearing yelling coming from downstairs. It was her mom, before I could say anything Hope just told me to ignore it."

"Oh no." Marco added. He was pretty sure he knew what was coming.

"Yeah, it got kinda worse from there on. After a while, noises got louder so she went downstairs and I followd her and we found her dad just wailing on her mom in the living room."

Marco sighed. "Then what?"

"I told Hope; just say the word and I'll turn them both into cuckoo clocks. No harm no fowl and they can cool off and I'll turn them back. She refused however saying she already knew what to do; I obeyed her wishes obviously."

"And you weren't disturbed by any of this?" Marco asked.

"Well duh it sucked, but on Mewni this sorta thing happens all the time. Heck when a man bashes his wife skull in with a chair it usually means happy anniversary so..."

"Right of course I should have known by now. Anyways, then what happened?"

"She tried to break em up but her mom said it was ok. That it was her fault for disturbing Hope's dad while he watched TV. Hope got to close and her dad smacked her away. After that she called the police. They showed up, one of them was the same cop that showed up when you got kidnapped. Hope seemed to already know what to do and I just watched, cop asked me if I still liked magic so I turned him into a frog. Oh yeah by the way I turned a cop into a frog and I can't reverse it, he's in my pocket if you want to see...maybe kiss him? I don't know."

Marco massaged his forehead. This shit was too much for him to deal with tonight.

"Then what?"

"Her dad got dragged away by the police, and when they left her mom blamed Hope for getting him arrested. At that point she snapped at her mother and took off down the street. I thanked her mom for the hot pocket and took off after her. And now here we are."

"Oh wow, well she can stay here I guess. I'm going to have to call my parents first though you understand?" Marco replied.

"Maybe you can help her Marco?"

"I'll make her nachos."

"No, I meant with your psychology powers."

"Hmmm, Star look. I'd be glad to help but this sounds above my pay grade."

"What's your pay grade?"

"Nothing, I only have 9th grade psychology under my belt. Not unless you count my mom's hugs as payment for services rendered. And let me tell you, if the IRS doesn't then neither do I."

"Can't you at least try?" Star begged.

Marco knew he could either argue with her for hours or just agree and try to do this as fast as possible so he can get back to the TV. "I can but don't expect too much"

"Thanks Marco, I knew I could count on you" Star said as she gave Marco a hug.

Marco headed back to the living room. He and Star sat down on the coffee table and exchanged looks. Hope looked at them just as Marco and Star looked her.

"Staring contest?" Hope said in her squeaky voice.

"No. I just want you to know that I'm here to help." Marco replied.

"You told him?" Hope asked as she turned to Star.

"Yes, but only because I think he can help. He helped me, and look at me I'm a mess" Star answered her.

"It's true she is" Marco added, to which Star nodded.

Hope shrugged. "Ok, not like I haven't been helped before."

"Good, I can start right away" Marco said as he turned to face Star.

"Well go on, do your magical transformation Marco" Star told him.

"I can't, that only works when the planets are in alighment. Thing is I can't help her at all until you leave."

Star looked a little surprised. "Whhaaa?"

"Doctor-patient confidentiality Star. I didn't make our session public nor went into detail with your problem. Same applies here so..."

"Fine." Star said getting up, and heading for the stairs.

"Call me when it's over." She said as she reached for her pocket and pulled out the cop frog.

"Come along you. Let's see if I can reverse this.If not, the frog dimension is about to get a new cop. Just try not to descriminate against the black toads, not all of them are bad." Star whispered to him.

Marco was now alone with Hope. He knew very little about her so he knew he could not open with small talk, at least not with anything too personal.

"So...ISIS. They sure have been killing a lot of people lately huh?" Marco asked Hope. He was not sure why he opened with that, but it was too late now he had to commit.
