After a short walk, Maria and Prunella arrived at Marina's house. Prunella knocked on the door.

Marina: Who's there?
Prunella: It's me, Prunella.
Marina: Are you sure?
Prunella: Marina, it's really me!

Marina then opened the door.

Marina: (laughs) Prunella, it is you.
Prunella: Marina, standing next to me is a student from Lakewood.
Maria: I'm Maria Pappas.
Marina: Hello, there. Would both of you like to come in?
Prunella: We like to come in. (she and Maria walked into the house) In fact, both of us have something to tell you.
Marina: What is it?
Maria: I have 2 tickets and backstage passes to the Star Butterfly show at the Elwood City Community Center this weekend.
Marina: (excited) What?! You're joking!
Maria: It's not a joke, Marina. My mom just got the last tickets. I also love "Star vs. the Forces of Evil" as well!
Marina: You're so lucky! For the past week, I've also been trying to get tickets to Star Butterfly's show. Unfortunately, Mom didn't have the money yet to afford it.
By the time we finally got the money, the show was sold out. (shows a sad face)
Maria: Oh, I'm sorry about that.
Marina: It isn't you fault, Maria. There's a lot of kids in Elwood City that are huge Star Butterfly fans, including me. We just got the money too late.
Maria: I do actually have an important question to ask you. Prunella told me that you have met Star before. When did that happen?
Marina: (happily) Wow, I actually remember that day as if it was yesterday. In reality, it actually happened last fall...

Flashback:

(Marina was not wearing her dark sunglasses at the time) Me and Prunella were at the park talking a walk. Suddenly I heard a voice behind us. Voice: Hey, how are you two doing today?

Prunella turned around to see a blonde-haired girl with heart cheek marks, a red hairband with devil horns with a sea green dress with a white collar, white lace on the sleeves and skirt
and a cute pink octopus on the front with pink and orange leggings, and dark magenta boots with a rhino design. She described the girl to Marina.

Marina: Who are you?

Girl: I'm Star Butterfly, the princess of the planet Mewni, and the star of the Disney show, "Star vs. the Forces of Evil."

Marina: (amazed) Star Butterfly? I thought that voice sounded familiar! (excited) Oh, my goodness, I'm a huge fan of your show! My favorite episode of all-time
is when you and Janna held a dead clown's seance in the graveyard, and then Ludo disguised as a clown and his minions come instead, and then you, Janna, and Marco
fight them off, and save the day!
Star: I remember that episode! Unfortunately, Ludo got my magic spell book and Glossaryck in the end. But, the happiest thing I'm doing now is meeting my fans.

Marina faints in happiness. Prunella was there to catch her.

Star: Is she okay?
Prunella: She's fine. By the way, her name is Marina, and I'm her best friend, Prunella.

Marina then wakes up.

Star: Marina, are you and Prunella going to pick flowers, because there's a special flower I'd like to show you.
Marina: Sorry, but I'm blind. If you showed me the flower, I wouldn't see it.
Star: Okay, how about we feel that flower, instead?
Marina: (bows down) It would be an honor, Princess of Mewni.

Marina, with assistance by Prunella and Star, walked to the field where flowers are grown.

Star: Can you feel anything, Marina?
Marina: I do! I feel a circle of leaves on the flower. (picks up the flower)
Star: Yes! That's my favorite flower, the sunflower. The leaves on the sunflower are yellow.
Marina: My favorite flower is the rose.
Star: (smiling) Hold on a second, I'll be right back.

Star goes to another area of the field a sees a rose. However, she puts duct tape on the green steam because there are thorns on it. She carefully gives the rose to
Marina.

Star: Here you go, Marina, a rose for you. But be careful on the green stem, there's thorns on it. I have put duct tape on the stem for safety reasons.
Marina: Wow, thanks, Star!
Star: I thought you might want it. (she just realized something) I have to leave now, I hate to go right nowa , but I have more events to attend to. Marina, I hope we
see each other again.
Marina: I'm hoping that happens too, Star Butterfly.

Prunella & Marina wave goodbye to Star as she leaves the park.

Flashback ends.

Marina: That was one of the best days of my life.
Maria: So, you and Prunella really had a good time at the park that day?
Prunella: We sure did.
Marina: Maria, can you see the table in the living room?
Maria: Yes, I can see the table, and I can see a photo of a rose flower there.
Marina: That photo is a picture of that rose Star gave me. I had my mom take a picture of it. She had it cased in glass so she could look at it and help me remember that
Star Butterfly gave me that flower. (sad) I had hoped I could get a ticket so I could see her on stage. But I just wasn't lucky.
Maria: I'm sorry about that
Prunella: Don't worry, you and your friend have a good time at that show.
Marina: (optimistic) If you do meet Star backstage, could you please say hi to her for me.
Maria: Yes, I will do that.

Maria then said goodbye to Marina and Prunella and walked out of the house. Maria now had a difficult decision to make. Her classmates did various tasks for her, and
they wanted to come with her to the show. However, Marina was a huge fan of Star, and this was an opportunity she really wanted: to see Star again. Maria knew this wasn't easy.

Maria: (thinking) What's the right thing to do?
