Just Friends/Transcript

	Episode begins with Star and Marco brushing their teeth with electric Love Sentence toothbrushes. They sway back and forth to the beat of Love Sentence's song Just Friends and lip-sync the lyrics.
Star Butterfly	[lip-syncing] ♪ It was no secret, the way that we feel ♪
Marco Diaz	[lip-syncing] ♪ A love that's so pure, a love that's so real ♪
Star	[lip-syncing] ♪ You showed me your world, and it felt like a sign ♪
Marco	[lip-syncing] ♪ But you acted too slow, and you ran out of ti-i-ime ♪
Star and Marco	[spit]
Marco	Oh, man, the only thing cooler than these Love Sentence singing toothbrushes is the fact you got us tickets to see them tomorrow!
Star	Duh. That's what friends are for! Plus, Love Sentence is like our thing.
Marco	Aw, you would know. You're my best friend.
Star	Good night, Marco.
Marco	[leaves the bathroom]
Star	[slyly] Sleep tight.
	Scene cuts to Marco sleeping in bed.
Marco	[snoring]
	Marco's phone buzzes, and he answers.
Marco	Hello?
Star	Marco! Are you awake? I forgot to tell you, there's more.
Marco	[phone buzzes again] Aw, wait. I'm getting a call from Jackie.
Star	Yeah, you are!
Marco	[answers other call] Hey, Jackie. Uh, is everything all right?
Jackie Lynn Thomas	Dude, Love Sentence tickets? You're smoother than you let on, Marco Diaz.
Marco	[chuckles nervously] What?
Jackie	Ooh, gotta go. Gotta crush this ramp. See you tomorrow! [hangs up]
Marco	Star! Did you get tickets for Jackie, too? ...Star! I know you're there.
Star	[slowly rises up behind Marco's bed]
Marco	Hello? Did you get Jackie tickets?
Star	[pokes Marco] You did.
Marco	[gasps]
Star	Aren't you excited, Marco? You guys are a thing now! The three of us are gonna be hanging out a lot. I don't want Jackie feeling left out 'cause I'm a supercool girl who's also your supercool best friend.
Marco	Yeah, you are. I'm just... I'm just worried that with you around, Jackie will realize I'm not as super-cool.
Star	I've dated before. Trust me, you'll be fine.
Marco	[sighs] Fine. Just let me sleep.
Star	Yay! This is gonna be awesome! Now, get them beauty sleeps. [leaves Marco's room]
	The next day, Marco looks out the window and closes the curtains.
Star	Time to get dressed, Marco!
Marco	[screams, falls over]
Star	Come on! Come-on-come-on-come-on! Jackie's gonna be here any minute!
Marco	I know. [puts his hood up] That's what I'm worried about.
Star	Oh, poor thing. I told you, there's nothing to worry about, right? We just want to make Jackie feel included in our fun times together.
Marco	Yeah, I guess.
Star	[picks Marco up off the floor] Come on, it'll be fine. I promise. Now get dressed! [skips away humming]
Marco	Uh, I am dressed. Red hoodie. Jeans. That's pretty much dressed for me.
Star	Hah. Uh, no, you're not, 'cause I made concert tees~!
	Star uses her wand to make three concert tees, one of which materializes on her body.
Marco	Oh, man! Love Sentence concert tees! [gets tee thrown in his face]
Star	Handcrafted.
	Marco's concert tee bears his, Star's, and Jackie's faces with the words "LS TOUR".
	[horror movie music sting]
Marco	[sarcastic] Perfect.
Star	I know, right? Put it on!
	Marco struggles to put the concert tee on.
Marco	[chuckles, straining] Little tight.
	The doorbell rings.
Star	Jackie's here!
Marco	[panicked grunting]
Star	[opens door] Hey, girlfriend!
Jackie	No way! You made concert tees?
Star	Oh, yeah. Check it out.
Jackie	That's so funny, 'cause I made concert skateboards! Whoa! [holds up Love Sentence-themed skateboards]
Star	No... way... I can't believe we had the same idea!
Jackie	Great minds, am I right?
Star	♪ Trade! ♪
	Star trades a concert tee for one of Jackie's skateboards. Jackie puts the tee on.
Jackie	So, where's Marco?
Star	Oh, he's getting dressed.
Marco	[still struggling to put on concert tee, straining, panting] Hey, Jackie.
Jackie	[takes off helmet] Hey, Marco.
Marco	[strains, pants]
	Marco finally puts the tee on, but it's way too small for him.
Jackie	Nice shirt. Shows off your pecs.
Marco	[strained] Skateboards, really? I thought we were taking the bus.
Star	[puts helmet on Marco's head] Yeah! Skateboards! It'll be fun! Summoning Cloudy Charm! [summons Cloudy]
Cloudy	[excited scream]
Star	[riding skateboard on top of Cloudy] Love Sentence, here we come!
Cloudy	Whee!
Star	Whoo!
Marco	[sighs]
	Scene cuts to Star and Jackie riding to the concert.
Star	Ooh-ooh! I got one. How many times did Love Sentence break up before their fourth reunion tour?
Jackie	Uh... Six, if you count the time they broke up on the morning of their second reunion tour and got back together after lunch.
Star	Yes! Except it was before lunch, not after.
Jackie	No, it was totally after.
Star	Let's ask Marco.
Jackie	Yeah, where is Marco?
Marco	[skating slowly, wheezing] Right... behind... you!
Jackie	Wow... Maybe we should've taken the bus.
Marco	[wheezing] No! Can we just get to the concert?
	Marco skates ahead of Star and Jackie and crosses a family of ducks.
Mother Duck	[honking]
Marco	[girly screaming]
	The duck and her ducklings sail through the air. Marco sails through the air.
Marco	Aah! [thud]
Ducklings	[chirping]
	Marco's concert tee tears in half down the middle. Scene cuts to veterinarian's office.
Veterinarian	The ducks will be fine.
Mother Duck	[honks]
Veterinarian	Marco should be fine, too, provided he take some skateboard lessons. The skateboard didn't make it. [hands Marco a medical bill] Your bill.
Marco	650 dollars?! Aw!
	Scene cuts to the city riverbed; Star slides to the bottom while holding the box of ducks.
Star	Come on!
Jackie	[skates to bottom of riverbed]
Marco	[slides to bottom of riverbed on his stomach]
Star	Aw, they are so cute!
Mother Duck	[honks]
Jackie	Little disease-ridden angels.
Marco	I want to help! Let me help! Quack-quack!
Ducklings	[alarmed chirping]
Star	Marco, you're scaring them!
Marco	[walks away]
Star	It's okay, little babies. He's gone.
Marco	Aw...
Star	Calm down. We're at your new home.
Duckling	[chirps]
Jackie	Aw, come on, little dudes, don't be nervous.
Star	Yeah, this place is great! I used to live here.
Jackie	Me, too. Wait, what?
Star	Yeah, for, like, a day. But you guys will make friends so quick! There's the lady that steals hair who lives over there.
Jackie	[laughs] Really?
Star	Yeah, she smells like shampoo all the time. It's crazy.
Jackie	[laughing] No way that's true.
Star	Seriously, it is! And around there is where I met the dragon. I think. Oh, oh, oh. And there's a really good taco place around here.
Jackie	Star, dude.
Star	Oh. Time to say bye!
Mother Duck	[honks]
Ducklings	[chirping, jump into water]
Star	Marco, come say bye!
	Marco sits on a milk crate under the overpass with his head down. Jackie walks over to him.
Star	Huh?
	Marco holds his ripped concert tee; the rip goes through the picture of his face. He pushes the left and right sides together, placing Star and Jackie's faces next to each other.
Jackie	Marco, dude. Are you okay?
Marco	You and Star should just go on without me. You'll have more fun. I'll just be here ruining things, breaking skateboards, ripping shirts, and traumatizing families of ducks.
Mother Duck	[honks angrily, chases Marco]
Marco	Aah! [hides behind Jackie]
Jackie	[pats duck on the head] Dude. [pats Marco on the head] Dude. Don't worry about the skateboard. My uncle works for the company, and I'm... I'm having fun with you, but... these guys deserve an apology.
Marco	I'm s—
Jackie	I'm kidding, Marco, but that was really sweet.
	The mother duck and her ducklings return to the water and swim away. Star appears between Jackie and Marco and puts her arms around them.
Star	Oh, we should be apologizing! Me and Jackie were having so much fun, you probably felt left out. But you shouldn't.
Jackie	Yeah, we wouldn't have met those cute ducks if it weren't for you.
Star	And that was magical!
Marco	Heh. They were cute.
Star	The idea was we go together.
Jackie	Yeah, Marco, come on. Let's go have fun.
	Scene cuts to the concert auditorium. The stage is designed like a prison with searchlights and emergency sirens.
Announcer	Remain calm and shelter in place. This is not a drill.
Police Dogs	[barking]
	Something smashes through the prison wall, and Love Sentence appears.
Crowd	[cheering]
Justin Towers	Hello, Echo Creek!
Marco	Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Such pageantry! I love it. I love it!
Justin Towers	Straight out of the Echo Creek Penitentiary, I'm Justin Towers, and this one goes out to everyone who's "just friends".
BGM	[Just Friends]

Star and Marco	[gasps] Our second-favorite song!
Jackie	[grabs Marco's hand] They're playing my favorite song! Whoo! [starts dancing] Dance with me, Diaz!
Marco	[chuckles nervously] Okay.
	Star grabs Marco's other hand, and the three dance together. On stage, Love Sentence dances choreographically.
