Star was out in the fields, resting. She thought about just relaxing and taking a break from guarding the Lunar emeralds. Her eyes glistened at the sunshine; her jacket was tied around her waist, revealing a blue tank top. Every threat from Mephiles…Every life-risking adventure left her mind at the moment. She didn't even think about what the place was. All she knew was that she was relaxing. Away from guarding, away from threats, away from the secrets that haunted her, away from adventure, away from all the painful memories that was the cause of her troubles.

That day, she was about to do something she thought she'd never do…

After her own day off, she headed home, only to meet Sonic outside her door. Wondering why he was here, she approached him. He opened one eye, watching the blue cat. The blue hedgehog smirked.

"Hey Star, can we talk?" Sonic asked before she could. Star hesitated, and nodded. Sonic pretended he was serious, and turned the smirk to a frown. "What is it, Sonic?" Star asked. Her smile and glistening eyes turned serious and startled. The blue hedgehog finally spoke.

"Star…I'm sorry…but I saw Forest making out with Jennifer last night. He's cheating on you, Star," Sonic lied. Star, naive as she is, believed him. A few tears came to her eyes. "Uh, o-okay…thanks, Sonic…" she thanked him quietly. She walked normally into her house, and then ran up the stairs, crying. She didn't bother to even glance at her mother and father. She didn't even think about a remark for her sister, Deserae. She ran straight to her room, fully crying into her pillow. She felt like her life was ruined. Her family tried to comfort her, but nothing worked. She cried until she fell asleep.

The next morning, she tried to wake up and hope it was all just a horrible dream. She saw a tear-stained pillow in front of her. She went downstairs and didn't bother to eat breakfast. At that point, she wasn't really hungry. She went outside and walked over to the untouched woods, hoping not to be seen by Forest. Unfortunately, he was on his way out of the woods, just to bump into Star.

"Oh, hey Star!" he exclaimed, joyfully. Star didn't answer back. She looked at him. Star only whispered, "Why?" and left right after that. Forest looked puzzled, and ran to her. "What's up, Star? And whaddaya mean 'Why?'" he asked. Star didn't want to look at him at the moment, so she ran away from Forest. She dropped a piece of paper that said "Goodbye forever" on it. Forest picked it up and read it. There were some tears in his eyes. "Star…what's wrong?..." he whispered to himself, reaching out to the blue cat, only realizing that she was gone…

Star went over to a nearby sakura and sat down. She buried her head into her arms. She was like that, crying, for about twenty minutes. She then felt a meerkat tap her shoulder.

"Go away, Forest…" Star trailed off, not realizing it wasn't a hedgehog. The meerkat sat down next to her. "Star, it's me, Dib!" the meerkat exclaimed. Star looked at Dib, Jennifer's boyfriend. The once teenager from earth looked at her back.

"So… you heard?" Star asked. Dib looked down. "Yes…" he replied, sadly. He sighed.

"What am I gonna do without Jenn? She's all I think about…" Dib muttered, staring at the sky. Star did the same. "What am I gonna do without Forest?" she retorted. She paused for a moment. "He's all that I look forward to every day," she finally whispered. Dib looked at Star, smiling. "Well…maybe…" Dib muttered. Star turned to the meerkat. "What?" she asked. Dib shook his head. "N-no, it's stupid," Dib replied. Star stared at him. "Dib, what is it? I won't laugh!" she insisted. He sighed.

"Well, would it be…you know…wrong to…well…" he trailed off. Star dazed at him. "Are you asking me on a date?" she asked. Dib blushed, and turned away. "…you're gonna freeze me in an ice crystal now, right?" he muttered. Star giggled. "No, I think…it's a good idea…" she replied, blushing. She started wrapping one of the ribbons in her hair around her finger. Dib smiled. "S-so…Tomorrow? A-at the movies?" he asked. Star smiled. "Sure. Call me, okay?" she asked, writing down something on her paper. Dib stared at her as she left the note next to him. Star walked away, smiling and looking back. There was just something about him that was just as special as Forest…
