I've added two scenes to the end of this chapter diving into Star's and Marco's thoughts. Enjoy!

"It will end at approximately 3:56. Or it won't," Marco heard Glossaryck tell him as purple butterfly Star carried Oskar's car into the sky with him inside it.

"What do you mean it won't?"

"Well, if she finds her true love and she kisses him… it won't end. It's an instant marriage. She does a weird… sucking thing. Binds your souls, or something like that. More pudding?" He says it coolly, as if he is disinterested.

Oh no, Marco thought, this is it, she's never coming back once she kisses Oskar- His thoughts were interrupted by Oskar's car crashing down into the asphalt with him inside it. Star had a look of distaste on her face, and had obviously dropped him because he wasn't right. She turned around slowly, scanning everyone around her. She chased Alfonzo for a few seconds, but got a good look at him and abandoned pursuit. Then Marco felt her eyes on him. She stared at him and he stared back for a while, neither breaking the stare. Then Star moved. She flew toward Marco at top speed. Marco ran, but could only make it so far. Star's six hands clamped around his body, turning him towards her. She nodded, then slowly moved her face toward his. Macro heard a beep as Star's lips touched his.

Suddenly, normal, humanoid Star was kissing Marco. Realizing what happened, she quickly backed away. "Marco… I… I didn't mean that. You know that wasn't me. I couldn't control myself. Maybe because we live together, my Mewberty mind got confused-"

"You chose me."

"Well, um… yeah, I guess."

"That was chapter eleven. That's why you didn't want me to read it. You have a huge crush on me, don't you?"

Star kicked at the rocks on the ground, avoiding Marco's eyes. "This could have all been a mistake."

"Isn't the whole point of Mewberty to find your true love? The one you have feelings for deep down inside?"

"Let's just forget this ever happened."

Marco sighed, although reluctant. "Okay."

He would never forget that. Could it be true? Could Star really have feelings for him? Marco wasn't sure what feelings he had for her, but… it was complicated. He had been crushing Jackie for… what? Nine years now? But somehow, now, it felt wrong. Sure, Jackie was hot, but was she anything else? He didn't even know. He didn't even know anything about her.

He shook his head, clearing the thoughts. It's all just getting to me, he thought, maybe I should follow Star's advice.

He resolved to forget, but he didn't. As he finally dozed off, he dreamed about her purple skin, her six arms. It was actually… fascinating, almost. He couldn't control his subconscious, so it thought the thoughts he didn't dare to think. His dreams were the best ones he'd had in years.

Well, what a mess I've gotten myself into now, the Mewman Princess realized. She had ruined it for them; she had dropped the bomb too soon. No relationship could be real if the two in question had only been together for a few weeks, right? Why was she kidding herself? She could never end up with an Earth boy, anyway. He, of all people, deserved who he wanted, and that clearly wasn't her. She would just have to bottle up all her feelings and let him be with that Jackie girl.

Suddenly, the covers were suffocating, and she ripped them off of her. She lay on the bed with nothing covering her. Yet even the air suffocated her. Each breath was a living nightmare. She could barely breathe. And yet, she knew the thermostat read 60 degrees Fahrenheit. But the feeling didn't go away. She fell asleep for less than an hour, her body shuddering with each breath, barely managing to get enough oxygen.

She woke with a start after a nightmare. The only thing she remembered about it was Jackie's and Marco's faces, their lips dangerously close.

This was hell. Would she have to deal with this every night? She lay on the bed, her eyes wide open, four six hours straight deliberating that question. It became even harder to breathe; she must have pneumonia from inhaling her tears.

A/N: What do you think off the two added scenes? I think they provide some more insight as to where each of them are at emotionally. I have also added scenes to "Blood Moon Ball" and "Freeze Day". Check those out!
