A/N: Because I've left you alone so long, I've decided to be extra awesomesauce as you guys seem to be calling it (The way kids speak these days... It's just funny) and mix it up a little with some TsuStar. :D

Reviews, guys? Are you abandonning me? *wide sad puppy dog eyes*
yuuki24688 - Because Yuki, shoving spicey hot wedges in people's mouth isn't exactly how I say hello. They're always too busy screaming in pain to say hi back...
Lady Shadow 77 - Those books are interesting. As for Rascal Flatts, they have a real sentimental value for me, so I love them too.
moemoekyun - That ain't just a story, that was my LIFE. Complete with burning bacon, wedges from hell, AGUA and crazy kids everywhere. And yes, I like NaLu, they're cute right now. I used to be LoLu, then GrayLu and now NaLu. I just couldn't settle until now. And having the theme tune is awesome because now I sing it and people are like 'you're singing in japanese?' And I LOVE YOU TOO RANDOM CITIZEN!
steferstheawesome - I think Jill the vicious creature would ask something (if Jill could speak) along the lines of asking why there are rodent skeletons in your school binder. Because even I, who is known to her friends as 'The Queen of Crazy Shit', am baffled.
pandoraterra - Yes... spicey wedges of hell would have been interesting indeed. Dang, I should have saved some for my brother... And yeah, that line made me smile while writing it.

Anyway, this one has a little bit of TsuStar, just as a special. Nothing major though. And it's only short, sorry..

She's like a star by Taio Cruz

Tsubaki POV

When I met BlackStar, I thought he was exactly what I needed.

I'd hoped his over-sized ego would make it easy to blend into the background, never having been one for being in the limelight. I just wanted to be the dark background to his shining brightness and I was only too happy to play that part.

Admittedly, I liked being the girl that just kept BlackStar from taking it a step too far, even if it was tiring at times. His never-ending energy seemed to bring out the life in me that I'd lacked as a little girl, making me feel more real, like I played a serious part in a play instead of being the unmoving backdrop. Me and BlackStar balanced each other out, bringing out the best in the other.

Even when he wasn't serious, which was often, I could still depend on him to be there for me. Through the whole thing with my brother, he'd been there to watch my back. I hadn't realized it until then, but his light was bright and sometimes too bright and annoying, but it was steady and unwavering, a light that could guide you home without trouble, keeping the dark shadows away.

And, it didn't hurt that he was strong. Sure, I know how to fight, I'd been brought up doing it, but... I loved that it wasn't just me protecting me anymore, it was him trying to keep me safe, in his own weird way. It was nice, having someone else try and take the hit for me.

Eventually, I told BlackStar some of this. And in his typical BlackStar fashion, he'd laughed.

"Silly Tsubaki." He choked out in between laughs, taking in my pink face. "You don't need me to shine for you. You've got your own light. While I am a God and shine brighter than all, your light is just a little more unique."

Then he'd blushed a little and made a getaway excuse, meaning he'd missed the small smile that had slipped into my expression. Not my usual, strained smile. But just a content one.

My own unique light, huh?

Maybe.

A/N: Aww, that made me smile a little myself. I've become so fluffy. Good to know certain individuals (who probably know who they are...) haven't been a bad influence on my innocent-ish nature.

Oh and the pirate AU I told you guys I was thinking of doing? Well, since I'm being bullied terribly *cough yuuki24688 cough* I'm trying to get a first chapter up. Problem is, I need: A) To improve my pirate dialouge, because according to Yuuki, I suck at it... *cries* B) To figure out a proper plot line. So if all goes well, I might be able to get it up sometime mid-november. No promises though...

The turtles are watching you...
THEY'RE WAITING FOR YOU TO GIVE ME A GOD DAMN REVIEW
Thank you.
