A/N: Hey everyone I was rereading this story and realized i made a bunch of mistakes while writing them. I decided since it's close to my birthday I'm going to edit some of my chapters. I hope you like my edits, and if you're seeing this for the first time I hope you enjoy my story.

Place: Marco's house

Characters: Star and Marco

When: Season 1

Marco was putting out another fire that Star accidently started while cooking. When she told him she wanted to try to cook something he was happy to hear that, but didn't expect this to be so hard for her. Once the fire was out he saw that she was upset about messing up another dish.

"Well I think we're actually making progress." Marco said with a smile trying to cheer her up.

"Yeah progress in almost destroying the house." Star said still looking down.

"Star I know you're trying hard, but this just takes some time." Marco said as he walked over. "When you do something new it's going to be hard the first time you try."

"You make it look easy though." Star replied. "You're able to make awesome food, and I can't even made something as simple as eggs."

"How bout this time we make some pasta?" Marco suggested. "It's almost impossible to burn that, and I'll be right here to help you if you need it."

"I don't want help though." Star replied looking at him. "I want to be able to do this on my own."

"Star it's not a big deal to ask for help." Marco explained. "I need help all the time with things, and I'm not ashamed to admit it."

"Well can I only get help if I ask for it?" Star asked still wanting to try this on her own til she really needed help.

"Absolutely." Marco replied smiling. "I'll be right here if you need me." After Marco answered her she began to smile again. She knew he believed in her, and that he knew she'd be able to do this. After looking at a cookbook she began to make spaghetti sauce, and put some water in a pot to boil the noodles. She saw that the book said to add olive oil and asked Marco if they had any. He got a bottle out of a cupboard and handed it to her.

(A few minutes later)

"Wow that looks amazing Star." Marco said happy to see a dish she didn't burn.

"Thanks Marco." Star said smiling. "I hope it tastes good though."

"Only one way to find out." Marco said as he grabbed a fork to try it. He rolled his fork in the noodles and took a bite.

"Well how is it?" Star said a little worried. It took a few moments but Marco finally swallowed the food in his mouth.

"It tastes delicious Star." Marco said smiling.

"Really?!" Star asked with a huge smile on her face.

"Yes really." Marco replied. Star instantly hugged him after he told her that the pasta was delicious.

"Thanks Marco!" Star yelled.

"You're welcome Star."
