Star sat there in her room feeling so bored. For one, Tom was off doing whatever demons do when they are not with their girlfriends. And her squire, Marco Diaz, was off doing some mission with Hekapoo. Star had thought that Marco's days with Hekapoo were over, but Hekapoo had changed her mind and decided her and Marco could work together again. So, Star was sitting there bored to death.

Star groaned "Ugh, what is there to do?" She laid there and suddenly realized that she could call Ponyhead, and see what she was up to. She dialed Ponyhead's number and waited for her bestie to answer.

"Hey girl!"

"Hey, Ponyhead! Do you want to do something together? Tom isn't here, and Marco is off with Hekapoo again, and I don't think a girl has ever felt so bored in her life."

"Yeah, girl, I'd love to do that, but there's a new drama they are showing, and I don't want to miss the new episode."

"Oh."

"I'd totally hang out with you if it wasn't coming on soon."

"Yeah, I know. Okay, that's all I wanted."

"Okay, bye girl!"

"Bye~!"

Star sighed and fell backward on her mattress. Why was everyone so busy today? She laid there trying to come up with an idea of something to do when suddenly a portal opened inside of her room. She thought This is the end to my boredom, Marco has returned! She ran towards the portal, and shouted "Marco!" and almost slammed straight into Hekapoo.

"Oh, sorry, Hekapoo. I thought you were Marco..." she looked behind her, and saw he wasn't coming through the portal "Uh, where is Marco?"

"Star, that's why I am here."

Star suddenly felt anxious. What was Hekapoo going to tell her?

"So, Marco and I were dealing with other dimensions again, and this one portal opened up. It was different from other portals. I have never seen one like it before. Anyway, Marco and I headed to it to try to close it, but our scissors didn't work."

"What do you mean they didn't work?"

"I'm saying they couldn't close this portal. I thought that because I'd never seen anything like this before that maybe we shouldn't go near it, and perhaps we should observe it before doing anything else. Marco, however, decided we should deal with it right now, and he went into it."

"Oh, my dear idiot, Marco."

"Yeah, his move was kind of stupid."

"So, did you try going in after him?"

"Uh no. I'm not going in there."

"But Marco's life could be at stake. If he dies or something, you lose the guy who has been helping you all this time."

"That would be bad, but like I said that portal is way too dangerous to just rush into. Also, I was doing missions solo before I met him. I don't really need his help. I could always hire someone else to help me if I really needed it. I just came here to tell you that your squire probably won't be home on time, or may not be home at all."

Rage filled inside of Star "How can you just turn your back on Marco? Do you know how much he loves doing missions with you, and you just brush him off like he is nothing!? You don't even seem to care if he comes back alive!"

"Star! I said that portal is dangerous, and there is no way I'm going in there without observing it first! I hope that Marco comes back, but I'm not going in there right now!"

"So be it! I'll go in and get him back! At least I care enough to attempt to do that!"

"Star, it's too dangerous!"

"I don't care! Marco is my best friend, and I'm not letting him possibly die!"

"Star, are you sure about this decision?"

"Yes, I am."

"Very well, I'll take you to the portal, but I'm not doing anything beyond that."

"I expected nothing less."

They headed back into the portal that Hekapoo had come into her room from. They entered a dimension that was pretty close to looking like a desert. Star looked around and asked, "So, where is this strange portal?"

Hekapoo pointed towards the sky, and said "There."

Star looked up and saw what seemed like a black circle in the sky. No colors were in it, it didn't have anything resembling the other portals she had seen, and it was just black. She said, "Well, that definitely is not a normal portal."

"I told you so. Well, it's up to you on what you're doing. I'm just going to go now."

"Yeah, yeah." Star kept staring at the portal.

Eventually, she decided that it wouldn't do any good to just stare at it. She had to do something because Marco's life was possibly in danger. She took a deep breath, transformed into her butterfly form, and flew into the strange portal.

As she went through the portal it felt like she was in a vacuum or something. It was almost like there was no air, no sound, nothing. She was about to call out for Marco when suddenly she emerged into the other dimension. She stood there and tried to catch her breath. After her lungs had been filled up with air, she looked up to observe the dimension and was very shocked at what she found. She was on Earth.
