"Marcos key?" Pony Head gave Star an odd look.

Star slid off the bed and had her top half vanish beneath it, obviously struggling for a couple of seconds before sliding back out with a box in her hands. It said "Marcos Box, KEEP OUT!". Star opened it, obviously the key meant she was allowed in here now… There were those photobooth photos from the first night he met Pony Head, some pictures of he and Star, and some where just of Star alone, mainly concentrating on things when she didn't know pictures were being taken.

"Aww…" she mumbled, picking some of them up to look at. "Hmm…" she went through the box a bit more, wondering where all the pictures of Jackie were. "They're probably in his closet." She shrugged.

"What?"

"Nothing, just pictures of his crush that are in his closet."

Pony Head gave her a disbelieving look, then rolled her eyes before speaking up "Oh! Look! A diary!"

Star stared at it, she then slowly moved her hand down and picked up the object gingerly. Star took the key from Pony Head and unlocked the book "Marcos journaaal…" her eyes seemed to glitter, this object was so precious, she was never aloud to touch this thing.

"I'm pretty sure that's a diary, B-Fly."

Star ignored her friend, opening the diar- er, journal. "Awww…" she smiled at the first page; young Marco! The awws continued as she got into it more.

Dear Journal: Today Jackie waved at me from the bleachers during a pep rally! I mean, she could have been swatting a fly or something but you know, it could have been a wave aimed at me!

Dear Journal: It was a pretty great day today! Jackie Lynn Thomas asked me to be her lab partner in science! It was amazing! Janna almost got to me first, that was kind of scary. I still can't find my watch though…

Dear Journal: Turns out we didn't have a lab today, or next week, or ever. It got canceled. That's okay though! I still had the chance to nod at Jackie! She's so great, I wish I could skateboard.

Dear Journal: Jackie blahblahblah blah

Dear Journal: Jackie blahblah blah

Star frowned, all of these pages were all about Jackie and Marcos life trying to impress her. She didn't know why she was frowning, all of these things were kind of sweet, what he did for her like giving up his homework so she could copy it, or getting the chance to get her number somehow. It was amazing how much one boy could talk about a girl…

"Man…" Pony Head mumbled "This boy is really hung up on that girl…"

Star could only nod at this fact as she continued on flipping through the pages. Then, there was one word that caught her eye.

Dear Journal: Today this obnoxious girl came to Earth. Her name is Star Butterfly, and she is a magical princess. I didn't like her at first, it felt like she just kept on following me around everywhere I went; my school, my home, everywhere! I knew it wasn't her fault though. I then found out… Hey, this girl is pretty cool. She fights monsters, she enjoys my karate, she's kind of amazing.

Dear Journal: Star is enjoying Earth so far! She can get kind of scary though, she's so different from anyone else I know. Blah blah blah blah.

Dear Journal: I actually spoke to Jackie Lynn Thomas today! Like, an actual conversation! I'm moving up in this line! She likes talking to me, I bet. Man I can't wait! I think I'm going to plan on sending her cat pictures soon, that will win a girl over, right? Girls like cats, right? What am I saying, kittens are wonderful, everyone should like them!

Star frowned as she continued to read, more about Jackie, man she was getting kind of tired of reading this. It was cute and all, but if this was all he wrote about then why would he give her the key to this journal? It didn't make very much sense… Her eyes stopped on every page that said her name, it was kind of interesting when Marco wrote about her.

Dear Journal: I can't help but always think back on that day that Star and I danced during that Ball. I understand she didn't want me there, but that voice, it made me change my mind. That moment, something changed. I don't think I noticed it when it happened, but when I think back on it I feel as if something changed between Star and I. We became closer? I have no idea. I don't understand why Tom was so upset with me for dancing with her that one time, or why there was that red light… But I know something had changed. I know something else, I feel as if… Maybe something changed between us that day. She looked stunning in that dress…

Star blushed, flipping the page quickly before Pony Head could read it. Sadly, she noticed that Pony Head gave her an odd look, which she only replied with a small, awkward laugh and smile as she turned back to look at the journal once more. Ugh… another page about… Jackie..?

Dear Journal: I don't know… It's been a while and I have been chatting with Jackie on a daily basis. The thing is… My mind says "HEY LOOK IT'S JACKIE ISN'T SHE CUTE?" but my heart only responds with "She's nice… I'm not feeling that way I used to about her though.". I don't know, I am still going to try with her… But I'm starting to get the feeling that maybe… I don't like her anymore? Even though I have all these years… I don't know.

Star glanced at these pages quickly, there were more like this every time she flipped. She was really only looking for her name at this point, she felt self centered by doing this, but it was all that really mattered at this point. Finally, she spotted something.

Dear Journal: I don't think I like Jackie anymore, but I'm going to keep trying, listening to my brain.. I have also started to notice that… Star is really changing, and changing in good ways. She doesn't look any different than before, I mean besides getting smaller because I'm growing, but something has changed. I don't know what, but I like it. I feel like I shouldn't like it… We are best friends! I don't know. This is all so complicated. I'm so happy she's my best friend though, it's so much fun beating up monsters and overall hanging out with her… I don't think I have ever been this happy before...

Star blushed slightly, turning to the last page. It was still the middle of the book, but the rest was hollowed out. It contained a necklace, a star and a sun.

Dear Journal: I don't exactly know why I got this for her, but I thought she might like it. I had just enough money to commision it. I'm thinking after school today I will surprise her with it! I'm thinking maybe getting into that fancy outfit I wore during the Ball that one time. I looked pretty snazzy in that, felt strong and proud, like I could just swoop an attractive girl off her feet and dance the night away with her! I shall get home before Star and set up the house; it will be a great surprise! Let's just hope no monsters get in the way. Anyways, I have to get her out of the bathroom, we are running late!

Star Butterfly stared at the necklace "He was… Going to give this to me the day I got captured…" she managed before turning to Pony Head, tears starting to flow once more.

"Aw, Star." Pony Head frowned "Please don't cry. Marco wouldn't want you to be sad."

Star nodded, a straight face now on as she put the necklace around her neck, she then slammed the journal shut and took a deep breath. "You're right! Marco would want me to be happy!" she forced a smile, "Thank you, Marco." Star put everything back in the box and slid it under the bed. "Thank you, Pony Head." she smiled and hugged her friend.

"Let's go… Get some sleep." Star got up and slowly made it to her room. Her hand went to the symbols on her neck, an actual smile now making its way upon her face. "Thank you, Marco."
