Well, here it is, the last time The Star-Crossed Four will hang out in July. So much has happened this month, it's crazy. Tonight, however, will be a normal meeting with tacos, soda, candy and games! Yes, Skyler is going to be with the rest of us this time. He wants to publically apologize to Starla. So tonight just might work out well.

"Hey Ester, you done yet?"

"Oh, sorry Dally. Yeah I'm ready." Dallas comes into my rom, hair wet from showering. "Woah Ester, you look, amazing." he says in awe. I blush, "thank you. You look great yourself." Another great thing about these hangouts, I get to wear anything that's not my jumpsuit. "So, when should we get going?" Dallas asks. I check the time. "Now."

"Ester, Dallas, please be back before midnight, and not eleven fifty-nine." Doctor Fidgel callas out on the way to the Starskidder. Dally and I give a thumbs-up just before we enter the pod room. And within thirty seconds, we're off.

Again, thank goodness the Rockhopper is close to where we're goin'. so, we make it to the Arcade Galaxy, thinking we got there first, but when we enter, there's Skyler and Starla sitting at table 4 with all of the refreshment. "Look who finally decided to show up." Dallas jokes as the two of us sit down beside 'em. Skyler sarcastically laughs and turns to Starla. "Now that we're all here, Starla I'm really, really, really, really, really, really, really sorry for ignoring you and making you feel betrayed. Could you ever find it in your sweet heart to forgive me sister?" C'mon Star, how could you deny that truly sorry face? Starla sighs, and hugs her brother. "Alright, I forgive you."

"Really? Great! Now let's dig in and have the best night this month!"

And that we did, partying like there was no tomorrow! I have to say, all of us were at our highest, especially Starla. Though, I did notice that she would sometimes stare into space with a look that I've seen before...here, I think. Anyways, we jacked around until I noticed that it was 11:37 p.m.

"Hey guys, I really hate to spoil the fun, but it's for Dally and I to leave the building." Dallas, Skyler and Starla look at each other before happily shrugging and leaving. The Macaroni and Gentoo are here so me and Dallas say our goodbyes to the siblings and vice versa as they leave. Once they do, Dallas and I are about to get into the Starskidder, when someone behind us greets Dallas.

"Dallas Fort Worth Texas, is that you you son of a gun?!" We slowly turn around to a young Macaroni penguin boy, round our age. "Thomas the Tank Engine, what brings you 'round here?" Dallas says, the two high-five and fist bump. Dallas introduces me to his friend, "Ester, this is my second oldest friend, Thomas Marcel. Thomas, I'd like you to finally meet my girlfriend, Ester Shiloh."

"Thomas Marcel? Wait, are you-?"

"Stephanie's brother? Yep, and I know about her and Skyler Nathaniel." Thomas says as he checks his watch. "Dog! Sorry, gotta go, see ya later Dester!" And like that, Thomas is gone. So, Dallas and I leave for the Rockhopper. I ask Dallas on our way back, "Hey Dally, why did Thomas call us Dester instead of our separate names?" Dallas yawns, "That's just how he is, my lil blue flame, strange with names." Hmm...this has been interesting, this last July meeting.
