Merton woke up to the familiar alarm- another day of school loomed. But this morning he couldn't wait. He looked down, Star was still asleep, arms around his waist. He lightly stroked her hair and cheek, and her eyes opened.

"Hey" she whispered.

"Hey sleepyhead"

"Do we have to go to school?"

"Yeah, unless you feel like whipping the clock around...!" he smiled

"As much as I'd love too, I suppose we'd better get an education........!" she laughed.

They got out of bed and got dressed. They sneaked out the back and headed to school.

"Tommy! Laurie!"

"Hey you guys!" they replied.

"Wasn't that the same outfit you wore yesterday?" questioned Lori, cant believe I said that she thought, I sounded like such a...... girl!

"What are you, the fashion police?!" she replied, smiling.

Tommy and Laurie looked at each other, smiling. The bell rang- none of the others had classes except Star.

"Gotta go, bye guys. Bye Merton!" she smiled, giving him a quick kiss.

After she left, Merton wished he too had a class to go to.

"So......!" said Tommmy giving his friend a playful punch, "things looking pretty good for you two!"

"Yeah, I'll see you guys at lunch, ok?" he replied, grinning, but rubbing his arm where Tommy had just punched him.

Merton walked down the hall towards the lab, he had a science project to finish.

"Hey Merton I hear you got yourself a girlfriend"

It was T and T. Merton didn't need this.

"Well, um, yeah"

"Lets get him!"

Merton began to ran not today he thought. He wanted the day to be just perfect, he didn't need T and T chasing him!

All of a sudden, the footstepts stopped, he turned around- they were frozen! But how? He looked around, Star was nowhere to be seen, nor was anybody else. But he knew he had to get out of there, and fast.

Merton spent the whole of his next class, English, wondering how on earth T and T froze up. He wished he could speed up time so he could find her and stop freaking out. He looked up, the clock was whizzing, the class ended after only five minutes! What is going on? He thought to himself- it was almost as if he had Stars powers. He had to find her, and fast!

"Star! Star!"

She turned around "Hey!" she smiled, then noticing the worried look on his face, she questioned him. "Whats wrong?"

"Ive got your powers!"

"What do you mean you've got my powers? Ive got my powers- see!" she replied, freezing the hallway in proof.

Merton unfroze it. "See!" he replied almost hysterical.

Star looked in horror- "No..........way" she replied, very slowly recounting in her mind what she had just seen.

"How did this happen?"

"I, I have no idea!" she stammered

It was lunch- Merton and Star headed for the cafeteria to find Tommy and Laurie, maybe they could help.

"Guys, we have a little problem!" Said Merton, over emphasising the word little.

"What do you mean, little problem?" replied Laurie sternly.

"This little problem!" he replied, freezing the lunch room.

"Oh my god, how did you, how did you do that?" questioned Tommy

"Its one of Stars powers, only problem is, im not Star!" he wailed

"How did he get your powers?" Tommy questioned Star, looking very worried.

"See that's the thing, he didn't 'get' my powers, I still have my powers" she replied unfreezing the lunch room.

They all looked ateach other, completely confused. Just what was going on??
