NOTES:

This takes place three weeks after "The Berry Farm Rescue"

This is based on a Toy Girls picture on the Deviant Art site.

At Lakewood Elementary, Maria Pappas, who once memorably overcame her stutter to give a special in front of her classmates, walked over to her classmates in the
hallway to tell them some big news she had.

Maria: Everybody, guess what?

Everybody stood around Maria to listen to what she has to say.

Maria: My mom just gave me two tickets to see the special "Star vs. the Forces of Evil" show at the Elwood City Community Center this weekend. To promote the show's
third season, Star and Marco will be there answering questions to audience members! And I can bring a friend along as well!

All of her classmates cheered upon hearing that, as they wanted to see Star Butterfly herself in person.

Arthur: I have to wonder, who are you taking to that show?
Maria: Wow, I don't know, I'd love to take everybody, but I can only bring one of you with me. I really would have to think about this one.

Through the entire day, Maria's classmates were helping her out with her schoolwork, fixing up her desk neatly, and letting her cut in the line in front of them at
lunch, hoping that they would be the one picked. After school, Maria was walking on the left sidewalk, not knowing what to do.

Maria: Wow, this decision is really hard. I know everyone did all that stuff for me because they wanted me to give my other ticket to them, but I just don't know who
to choose.

At that moment, Maria had accidently bumped into Prunella while walking.

Maria: (worried) Oh, I'm sorry, Prunella, I didn't see you there.
Prunella: (getting back up) It's no problem, Prunella. What exactly were you worrying about?
Maria: Well, I have a problem. I just got 2 tickets with backstage passes to the "Star vs. the Forces of Evil" special show at the community center. When I told my
friends, they all started being helpful to me with everything so I would pick them. The problem is I can only pick one of my friends to go with me. Do you have any idea what I should do?
Prunella: Wait a minute. Did you say you have 2 tickets to Star Butterfly's show?
Maria: Yes. Is there anything about it?
Prunella: (smiles) Next to the Henry Skreever book series, "Star vs. the Forces of Evil" is my best friend Marina's favorite program. She watches it online on her
computer at least once a week! Of course, either me or her mother have to help her get on her site, because she's blind and the buttons on her computer aren't in
braille, but even I have fun watching the show with her. I must also inform you that, believe it or not, Marina actually has met Star before.
Maria: (astonished) Really? You're kidding!
Prunella: No, I'm serious. She really did meet Star Butterfly before.
Maria: Wow! How did that happen?
Prunella: Why don't we both ask her and find out?
Both Maria and Prunella then made their way to Marina's house.
