Thanks again to imagination-gone-wild and Nebula943. Your reviews made me very proud. Thank you very much!!


Zero dug his hole at an unsteady pace. He was still thinking about Alya. He started to believe about her being a star and everything, but it was hard to grasp. Knowing that stars could come to earth made him wonder if all the stars he saw every night were like Alya. If so, he would love to meet them.

A tap on his shoulder snapped him back to Camp Green Lake. He turned around fast. Caveman was kneeling next to him.

"You feeling okay, man?" Caveman asked. He was the only friend Zero had before Alya arrived.

"Yeah. I am."

"Are you sure?" Caveman was still curious. "You've been acting funny lately."

"It's hard to explain." Zero really didn't know how to explain it, really.

"Well, if something was wrong, you'd tell me right?" Caveman was a good friend.

"Sure I would." Zero was telling the truth. The thing was, there was nothing wrong with Alya. In fact, Zero liked having her around.

"Cool." Caveman said, standing up and walking back to his whole, with a smile.

Zero couldn't help up laugh.

"What's so funny."

Zero jumped and turned around. There was Alya, sitting next to his whole. She was still in her white dress, hugging her knees to her chest.

"What-?" Zero tried to protest, but Alya shushed him.

"Don't talk." She said, "Just nod you head yes or no. We don't want to make you look crazier then they already think you are."

Zero turned back around, smiled to himself, and started digging again.

Alya sighed. "So, this is what you do all day?" Zero nodded his head. "That's got to be worse then shining all night. At least I get to sit." Zero couldn't help but laugh at that.

Alya giggled then regained her composure. "Remember, act normal." Zero stop laughing, but still smiled to himself.

"You think about what I told you last night?" Zero nodded again, still digging. "And, you believe me?"

Zero turned around so he could dig facing her. He looked up with his eyes and nodded. He saw a big smile form on her face. He loved her smile.

"Great." She said, "I'm glad. I hadn't thought about what I'd do if you didn't believe me."

Zero smiled again. But this time he was caught. "What is up with him?"

Zero turned around to find ZigZag and X-Ray staring at him. He turned towards Alya. "Uh oh." She muttered, knowing she got him in trouble.

"Leave him alone." Caveman said.

"No way, man." Squid said, taking a step towards Zero. "He's acting really strange."

"Stranger than usual." Armpit said, joining Squid.

Zero gulped and prepared for a beating. Alya walked over to his side. "You can't let them push you around." She said, staring at Squid. Zero felt like asking her what to do, but that would make everything worse.

"Tell them about me." Alya said.

"What!" Zero yelled out, forgetting the guys couldn't see her. Now, all attention was on him. "Tell them!"

Alya waved her arms. "Hush! Your just making it worse!"

Zero scratched his head, trying to understand. She wanted him to tell but didn't want him to talk to her. It didn't make any sense.

Zero looked at the guys. They all seemed scared. He couldn't think of anything else. He took off running towards the tent.

He thought, the best way to deal with this situation, was to run. And fast.


Sorry, this chapter may be a little weird. I couldn't think of anything better. I promise it'll get better.
