Hello, lovlies! Me again! So, to recap last chappie, Star is a dragon, Team Crafted is coming, and Star has trust issues.
Wait a minute…
Is this chapter 7?
IT IS!
Hoo boy, the 4th wall should be breaking soon.
*a shattering sound is heard*
Aha!
Optimus Prime: Hello, Wing.
Hey Prime
Optimus Prime: *gestures to readers* and who are they?
The reason I was able to get this far in the story.
Optimus Prime: *raises an optic ridge, then turns to readers* then I thank you. *bows and goes back through 4th wall*
I've been planning that visit forever!
Anyways, onto the chappie!

A nudge on my lower jaw brought me back to my senses. I looked around quickly, noting that it was about midnight. I froze.
It was midnight
It was midnight
It was midnight
"Ohhhh shoot," I muttered to myself, scrambling for my necklace. I quickly slipped it over my head and morphed back into my human form, throwing the trapdoor open and jumping down into my room…
…right on top of Blaze.
"OW!" she shrieked, landing on her back as I tackled her off of the ladder.
"Oh Notch! Sorry, Blazie!" I apologized, quickly getting off of her. She propped herself up on her elbows, looking up at me blearily.
"The boys were starting to wonder," she said simply. I stared at her, then snorted in disbelief.
"STARTING to wonder? How thick can you get?" I said dubiously, sitting on the edge of my bed. Blaze gave me a 'do you really want me to answer that?' look and plopped down next to me, a grin spreading across her face.
"I expected them to get suspicious hours ago, but they just kept on being oblivious," she recounted, giggling. I laughed, too.
"Then, about five minutes ago, Mitch gets this look on his face, like a sort of a 'something isn't right' face, then he turns to me and goes 'is Star still in the bathroom?'" I clapped a hand over my mouth, but I still shook with laughter.
"Are you serious?" I asked, still not believing it would be that easy to keep my secret.
"No lie! And I just look at him and tell him that you're probably asleep, and he just nods and asks me to go wake you up!" Blaze finished, almost bent double with giggles. I shook my head, smiling.
"Boys," I finally said, a large grin spreading across my face. Blaze nodded sagely, smiling from ear to ear.
"What else would you expect?" she declared, nudging me with a chuckle. I smirked.
"Nothing less," I replied, getting to my feet. I turned to Blaze and grinned.
"Let's go tell 'em you woke me up, huh?" I said, pulling my bestie to her feet. She nodded. We dashed down the stairs, Blaze losing for obvious reasons. I stumbled into the living room to find Moon passed out in her corner and the boys drawing a French moustache on her face. I rolled my eyes and tiptoed over to them silently. I slowly reached out and tapped Mitch on the shoulder. He jumped at least a block into the air, shrieking like a little girl. I fell backwards, laughing. Jerome was laughing too, oblivious to the Canadian's irate expression.
"NOT funny, Star!" he growled. I smirked at his expression.
"Your Bacca friend seems to think otherwise," I said smugly. He glanced over at the still-chuckling Bacca and tackled him, burying the two in pillows and blankets. I rolled my eyes and left the two to their wrestling, kneeling over Moon. Miraculously, she was still asleep, and I clapped a hand over my mouth to keep from laughing.
The boys had drawn her a black goatee and moustache, and with her expression she looked like a stereotypical French person passed out in a pub somewhere. I chuckled softly and turned around to see Jerome in a headlock and Blaze trying futiley to separate the two, as the Bacca was starting to choke. My eyes widened and I rushed over, smacking the Canadian upside the head. Hard. He grunted in pain and clutched at his head, releasing his friend, who gasped for air. I shot Mitch a withering look and knelt down next to Jerome. I jabbed him in the stomach, causing him to gasp and sit bolt upright. I glanced up to see Blaze's worried expression fade, only to be replaced by anger. My expression morphed into one of fear. Id seen what happened the last time she had gotten really angry, and it hadn't been pretty. She whirled around to face Mitch, who had recovered from me hitting him.
"What were you thinking?!" she shouted, causing him to flinch. I immediately stood, putting myself in between Blaze and Mitch.
"Whoa! Whoa, Blazie, cool down," I said, glancing fearfully at her hands as the air around them started to waver. She blinked, then relaxed, the air around her hands turning normal as she shot me an apologetic glance.
"Sorry, Bestie," she murmured, looking down at the floor. I put a hand on her shoulder, causing her to look up at me.
"Its okay, Blazie. Remember, I promised nobody would get hurt," I whispered, holding my arms out for a hug. She rushed towards me, snuggling close.
"Thank you, Bestie," she whispered, detaching herself from the hug and glancing at Jerome, who seemed to have recovered. Her eyes softened.
"You okay, Jerome?" she asked. He nodded, leaning against the wall and crossing his arms. She looked back over at the Canadian, and her eyes filled with regret.
"Sorry," she mumbled, crossing her arms and looking at the ground. He nodded. Then, out of nowhere, a pillow blindsided me. I stumbled, looking around wildly to see Moon standing calmly with a pillow in her hand.
"It was getting too serious," she said with a perfect poker face. I snarled good-naturedly at her, then whirled around and lobbed a pillow at Jerome, whose mouth dropped into a perfect O as I my pillow nailed him pull in the face. He pulled it off and glared at me.
"Oh, it is on," he declared, throwing my pillow back at me. I grinned and caught it, swinging it around to swat Mitch.
…...
The next morning, I was woken by sunlight hitting my face. I opened my eyes and blinked blearily, sitting up and looking around. I was the first one up, and the poses everyone else was in were absolutely adorable. Moon was curled up in her corner, snuggling a pillow, while Blaze was sprawled out in her corner, a peaceful expression on her face. The boys had slept on the couch, Mitch somehow ending up resting his head on the Bacca's shoulder, while the Bacca's head was tilted over on his.
"Aww…" I cooed as I surveyed my sleeping friends. I got up as quietly as I could, sneaking over to the kitchen.
"Alright," I whispered to myself. "Pancake mix, milk, eggs, chocolate chips…"
(Time skip because pancake making in this story would be pointless)
When I finished, there were five plates of chocolate chip pancakes, with three pancakes for each of us. I heard yawns coming from the other room. Smiling to myself, I set the dining room table for five people, flitting around like a bird until everyone sleepily stumbled in, no doubt lured by the promise of pancakes.
"Breakfast!" I declared, smiling. Everyone sleepily grinned back and murmured 'thank you's as we all dug in to the morning feast. Little did I know, today was going to get complicated. But since when have my days been simple?
Well, that was a slight filler, but with lots of drama and boys being boys and a bit of fluff! Yaaay! Oh, and Blaze, if you're reading this, I tried
Anyways, Review!
Flames will be used to torture Star in the next chappie!
Oh, and remember: the night is yours, my friend, and the sun is setting!
