Star looked around for her mother, her eyes searching the crater. She was confused. She was... Excited?
Seriously, why wasn't she excited? She got a brand new wand! Again! And this one really said Star. The wand had horns and the wings looked just like the ones in her golden form!
They even had hearts.
River walked up to his daughter and started looking around the crater with her. Finally, he spoke up.
"What I miss?"

Star finally finished the whole story, her hands above her head for dramatic effect.
Marco was staring at her, wide eyed and fearful. Star understood that. She was afraid of Goop Toffee too.
But when she looked at Marco, a different type of fear she'd never seen before.
He was afraid of losing me... Star felt her heart beat rapidly, her eyes drifted down to her scuffed up boots.
Finally, they heard footsteps. Star turned to see her mother, relief and worry in her eyes. Before Star could say anything, River ran over to his wife and started bear hugging her. Telling her what happened when she wasn't here.
"Star?"
The girl felt her back stiffen, her body going rigid. She turned her head to see Marco, his hands in his pockets as he stared at her.
"You said you almost died..." Marco whispered, taking a step closer to Star.
Star felt the urge to take a step back, but her feet stayed put.
"You said you practically drowned. That you practically did die..." Marco looked up her, his eyes glassy and watery. "When you were gone... I had a feeling you were dead but there was that... That beat in my heart that told me you weren't."
Star held her breath as Marco took another step closer.
"Yet... I punched a hole through Toffee, where I thought his heart was."
Star's eyes widened, her heart beating even more rapidly as Marco finally just ran up to her. He hugged her, holding her tight as if she would disappear into thin air.
She even felt her shoulder growing wet, his tears silent. Star didn't know whether to wrap her arms around him and join his tear fest or just stand there.
But even she felt tears dropping from her eyes. So she hugged him, tighter than ever before. She let her own tears fall into his shoulder, letting herself whimper sadly.
Marco didn't whimper much, but she felt him shaking as he held it in.
"Let it out Marco..." Star said in between sobs, her heart aching when he finally let out a wail of despair.
They could have lost each other. They could have lost their other half. And the pair knew it. They knew what could've happened.
But they decided not to think about it.

Star was swimming. The goo around her clinging to her body, her hair. It even covered her eyes. All she saw was pure blackness, nothing for miles.
Tears poured from her eyes, her mouth still clenched in determination. Her heart pounding in her ears.
But her head went under. And the goo wasn't letting her come back up...

Star woke up with a gasp, heart pounding and face sweating. That nightmare was too real. It stayed in her mind, no matter how much she shook her head.
Finally, she gave up. Knowing she couldn't go back to sleep, Star got out of bed and made her way down to the kitchen on the second floor.
But she was surprised to see someone else was there as well. Marco was sitting at the dining table, his eyes focused on his hand.
In his hand was a half glass of steaming milk, something Star knew would put a human to sleep. But Marco looked restless. His eyes had bags and his brown pupils were shaking.
His lips were quivering fearfully, his knees bouncing up and down.
"Marco?" Star called into the kitchen. The boy instantly jumped up in surprise, dropping his milk on the table, none spilling. "Are you okay? It's the middle of the night."
His eyes lay on her for a few seconds before he gave a sigh. "I could ask you the same thing. Look at you, your shaking."
Star hadn't noticed but he was right, her legs were quivering and she was having trouble standing. She looked down at herself before looking back up to him, showing an obviously fake smile.
"I'm fine!" Star said, leaning on the wall edge, still shaking.
Marco sighed before walking over, his eyes boring into hers.
He crouched a little to get on her level, Star inwardly grinning at him being taller than her. Putting his hands on her shoulders, he stared at her.
"What's wrong? You're shaking like a leaf."
Star heard that saying on Earth. She just never knew she would hear it being said to her.
"And you're shaking like a petal!" Star exclaimed, Marco smiling at her misused phrase.
"If you tell me what is wrong, I'll tell you what is wrong," Marco said, his smile fading a bit.
"Rock, paper, scissors instead," Star said, tilting her head up.
"Fine." Marco stood up properly and held out his hand. Star did the same.
"Rock, paper, scissors, SHOOT!" Both of them landed on rock.
"Rock, paper, scissors, SHOOT!" Both landed on scissors.
"Rock, paper, scissors, SHOOT!" Finally, Star landed on scissors and Marco landed on paper.
"Crap," Marco murmured.
"Yay!" Star exclaimed, pushing Marco over to the dining room table.
Marco gave a long sigh. "I dreamt of you actually dying. Not coming back. How my life would've changed and how tragic it would be. How my life would be no good."
Star felt her face burn crimson, her hearts glowing brightly. "Are you serious?"
Marco looked down as he nodded. With that, Star reached over and hugged him tightly.
"My dream was of me dying..." Star whispered, her heart beating rapidly when she felt Marco's heart against hers. His beating just as much. "I can't think of me dying and leaving you. I'm dying with you."
Star pulled back, a wobbly smile on her face as a single tear fell from her eye. "You are my best friend."
Marco smiled before pulling her back into that hug. "If you're dying, I'm dying with you. There's no choice."
More tears fell from Star's eyes, tears of joy, worry, sadness, and love.
A sob escaped her, Marco hugging her tighter.
You are my best friend. If you're dying, I'm dying with you. There's no choice...
