A thundering herd of footsteps sounded down the hall, stopping where Starr stood. She stood there, shocked. She let out the scream again, racing into the room filled with stuffed animals. Eight pair of eyes rolled as she giggled like a child in the pile of toys. She squealed and squeaked for ten minutes at least. Starr, the "all-powerful" had fallen at the sight. The room was just how she had left it, even the paint was the same, everything, right where she left it.

In the morning, the nine split up into two groups. The first group, Quatre, Lucky, Trowa, Misty, Wufei, Panda, and Heero, were going into town, to show the girls around. The other group, Starr and Duo, were going in search of the lost tombs of the pharaohs. Starr was especially excited about this, not only for being alone with Duo, but because she loved the ancient myths and curses, along with the artifacts of the ancients. The ancient tombs weren't actually lost anymore, they had actually been found a few weeks before, but the diggers all mysteriously disappeared before they had a chance to get anything out of the tombs themselves.

As Starr entered the first room, a soothing feeling overwhelmed her. The cautious fifteen year old made her way carefully around the altar in the middle of the room. Duo was just as cautious. Starr wasn't afraid of the empty tomb, she was more of "accelerated" by its splendor. She felt energy all through her, like she had been struck by lightning.

As the two passed from room to room, a strange thought crept into Starr's head. You're all alone, you and Duo, in the dark, no one would ever know if just this once, you showed him how you really felt. This thought frightened Starr. After a few minutes, Duo noticed Starr's strange behavior, her breathing quickened, she was sweating, and she held her head in her hands like she had a headache.

"Do you wanna rest?" Duo asked, a look of concern spreading across his face. They sat down together. Starr looked very pale, sitting there. He touched her face, ice cold. "Are you alright?" he asked. Starr looked him straight into his eyes and smiled.

"I'll be fine," She answered, "In.a.min." She didn't finish her sentence, because right then, she passed out in Duo's arms. He carefully laid her down on a stone, and lay down with her, falling asleep after a minute or two.
