Staged

Chapter 12: Even More Drama

A few days had passed and chaos still ensued.

3 days ago, Michelle tripped over her backpack while she was practicing her scene with Kwan, and Mikey forgot to hammer in a sandbag, but for some reason, the rope coiled around his ankle, hosting him up, which embarrassed him greatly.

It didn't help that they spent most of 20 minutes getting him down, wasting time meant for rehearsing.

Two days ago, Spike, while still giving an impressive performance, had to cut things short when the power went out for almost an hour, much to everyone's frustration. Even worse, when some kids stopped for a snack break, the food ended up being really old and moldy and some got sick, but it wasn't anything truly serious and no one needed to go to the hospital, just a mild stomach ache at worse.

And yesterday, rehearsals were cut short due to an unwanted visit from a certain animal that swarmed through the area and caused them to end things shortly.

Still, these kinds of misfortunes kept happening, and yet everyone kept working on the play, mainly because such events were nothing new in comparison to the constant ghost attacks. It made one person wonder if a ghost was involved.

"I hope that this isn't another ghost haunting the school play again. That's the last thing I need..."Danny thought as he and Star entered the auditorium together.

Star felt in a better mood, though.

"Another glorious day at the theater, would you say, my dashing Lysander..."Star asked in a dramatic tone, only for Danny to not joke.

"I just hope that we don't have another "incident" like yesterday..."Danny said, recalling what had happened.

"Me either, but at least that skunk is gone..."Star said, recalling what happened near the end of rehearsals yesterday.

An incident that involved one very infamous animal that marked the scenery violently as possible.


FLASHBACK

Yesterday

Danny and Star were in the middle of practicing a scene with both "Helena" and "Demetrius" in it. However, the couple could begin their scene, the following happening.

Some kids ran out of the nearby restroom, screaming.

"SKUNK!..."They all screamed, holding their noses as they fled in terror.

"SKUNK?!..."Star and Danny both exclaimed, breaking character at the new trouble.

"There's a skunk in the bathroom!..."Another kid yelled.

Just as he said that, the smelly creature crawled out of said place and everyone panicked.

"There really is a skunk!..."Jazz said in a panic.

"AH! GET ME OUT OF HERE!..."Tucker screamed as he and Sam ran outside.

"OH, ANIMAL FARM! RUN FOR COVER!..."Mr. Lancer yelled as more people screamed and ran outside to get away from the smelly animal.

The couple on and off stage reacted in the most natural way possible.

They panicked!

"Let's get out of here! I SO don't want to take a tomato bath!..."Danny yelled as he and Star ran out as well.

"Me either, it is not worth smoother skin!..."Star screamed as they kept running.

There was loud commotion as people either ran, called animal control, or got sprayed trying to post the incident on social media. Some brave or stupid kids tried to catch the skunk, only to agitate it and it ended up being the dumbest move possible as they angered the animal.

That's when the tail rose and things got worse.

Oh boy.


Later

With news of the skunk at the school, sticking up the restroom, various students and Mr. Lancer even called animal control to deal with it.

Sam, being the nature lover, couldn't help but try to defend it.

"Hey, I know that defenseless animal stinks but it's out-numbered a hundred to one. You guys can't just manhandle it!..."Sam tried to complain.

"Calm down, little girl. We're just gonna remove the skunk from the premises and then put it back in the woods, that's all..."The animal control officer said before going inside with a leash and carrier.

Sam wanted to make sure they wouldn't hurt it and she also would have snapped over being called "little girl" but Danny held her back with some help from Tucker.

"Sam...don't. I know you mean well...but I think you should leave the thing that sprays stinks bombs to the proper authorities..."He said.

"Yeah and to be honest, you're alone on this. We just don't want you to cause more trouble..."Tucker said.

Sam grumbled something under her breath as the men entered.

"Am I really the only one who wants to help that poor thing without putting it in a cage?..." She asked.

"Yes, you are!..." Danny, Tucker, Star and Jazz said flatly in unison.

Sam frowned and began to sulk at that.

Minutes went by before Animal Control came out. They looked confused with an empty carrier.

"So, where's the skunk?..."Mr. Lancer asked, desperate for it to be gone.

"We didn't find it inside there. We searched the whole area and we found nothing, not even a nasty stench or odor..."One officer said.

"It probably got scared and left through the same opening that brought it in..."The other said.

"Well...double check and make sure! We got a play to rehearse and we can't have that creature causing a riot!..."Mr. Lancer said.

"Hey, we're doing our job. It's not our fault some animals run into public buildings or houses..."One officer said.

"Just do something, that's why I pay taxes!..."Mr. Lancer said, frustrated by another incident.

More students heard this and were worried about another encounter with the stinky animal.

"The skunk got away..."Danny said, looking confused.

"I hope that they find it soon. I don't wanna run into it and be kicked out of my role because that thing sprays me..."Star said, fearing the worst Colette would do if that happened.

Not to mention Danny would probably stay away for a week, at least, since, as much as she knew that he loved her, his nose wouldn't if that happens.

"I just hope that nothing got sprayed, at least the costumes. That way, we'd never have to wear them..."Tucker said, dreading the idea of smelly costumes he may be forced to wear.

Mr. Lancer then approached.

"Okay, back in..."He said, motioning for them to join.

"Darn it...and here I was hoping that the entire play would be cancelled..."Sam muttered, hoping some chaos could save her from acting like she's in love with Dash.

It didn't, much to her dismay.

However, with the skunk scare happening and everyone in a panic, too afraid to work due to fearing the skunk might come back and spray them, Mr. Lancer decided to end rehearsals for today but made it clear that they'd be doubling down the next day to make up for lost time.

All in all, it made things worse in a different way for them.

End Of Flashback


Present Time

Danny shook his head as he recalled that, thinking about that and the other incidents and accidents that had occurred. It seemed too coincidental.

"Are you okay, Boo?..."Star asked.

Before Danny could answer, a snooty voice interjected with a haughty attitude.

"He's probably just tired of having to exchange droll lines with you..."Colette said arrogantly.

"No one's talking to you, Colette and so not!..."Danny said, irritated.

Colette pouted and tried to woo Danny with sultry eyes, only to be pushed back with one hand.

"Make some space before I make it for you..." Star warned, while her step-sister sent her another dirty glare.

Before this could turn into another argument, the "director" called for everyone's attention once more.

"Alright everyone, places. We got a lot of time to make up for, so I want everyone to be ready by showtime, do you hear me? Come on, let's make some magic..."Mr. Lancer said, clapping his hand against the script.

"I'm ready to make some magic...the sparkly kind..."Sam said in a snarky manner.

The teens collectively groaned as they walked to the stage. There was so much anyone was willing to do for extra credit, and Lancer's enthusiasm was not helping.


A few moments later

"Here we go, Boo..."Star said, ready to practice.

As she and Danny got on stage, the ghost boy heard a sound. It sounded like a chuckle from above. An almost playful chuckle.

"Huh? What was that?..." He went before he noticed the spotlight moving.

The ghost boy looked up, only to gasp when he saw what was falling and where...or rather on who.

He panicked and sprang into action.

"Star, look out!..." Danny shouted, pushing Star out of the way before the light landed on her.

The spot light had landed on the stage floor, severely damaging it, but thankfully no one was injured.

"Wow...how'd that happen?..."Star asked, shaken while everyone else went to check on her.

"Are you okay?!..."Jazz asked, rushing in with a first aid kit.

"Ms. Strong, are you alright?!..."Mr. Lancer asked, not wanting this on his record.

"I'm fine. But I think that I would fire who tightened the bolts!..."Star said, looking ticked and ready to call her father at any chance.

"This shouldn't be possible! We checked the auditorium just last week. Everything checked out!..."Mr. Lancer said as he scratched his head.

However, someone laughed as they rejoined the scene, unaware of what had happened in the last five minutes. However, that caught their attention.

Everyone turned their attention to see Collette giggling to herself. This made her look too suspicious. Lancer stormed over, cutting her mood with a stern grip on her arm.

"What's this? Did you all realize who should be star?..."Colette said, gesturing to herself.

However, the teacher's glare told her only of rage headed her way.

"Ms. Bevier!..." Lancer shouted, storming to the spoiled girl.

"Oui?..."She asked, wondering what was going on.

Mr. Lancer dragged the girl to the stage, pointing to the crash.

"Hey! Unhand me or I shall sue!..."Colette complained, but was ignored.

"What did you do to the lights?!..." Lancer questioned, looking livid.

"Light?..."She asked, confused.

To their surprise, the light that fell was back where it was, undamaged. The student body blinked as they looked around, certain of the almost catastrophe that befell to Star.

"The Catcher in the Rye! What happened here?!..."Mr. Lancer went, thinking he lost his mind.

"Good question…" Colette went, freeing herself from the man's grip.

However, no one had been watching the spotlight, focusing on Colette's supposed trouble. Still, she was still the prime suspect and Mr. Lancer kept interrogating her over what had just happened.

"Oh, too bad. You almost got away..."Star said, almost glad at her step-sibling's punishment.

Colette glared at her but before she could retort or insult Star, the teacher once again grabbed her arm.

"I don't know how you did it... but if you keep this up, you aren't just out of the play, you're facing a big punishment for nearly causing bodily harm!..." Lancer warned.

"But it was not me!..."Colette said, aghast as she was blamed, but no one seemed to believe her.

"Yeah, and maybe Dash is a GOOD actor..."Sam said with a scoff, also thinking that she's guilty.

"Huh? Oh, thanks..."Dash said, oblivious, until it hit him what she really meant. "HEY!..."He said in an offended tone.

"Took you long enough to get it..."Sam said, while the jock snarled at her.

"You're lucky that I don't hit girls, geek-ette!..."Dash said, looking mad.

"I can take you, nitwit!..."Sam said, glaring at him.

Before this could escalate further, the teacher broke up the fight before it got worse.

"Enough you two, I'll deal with you both later..."Mr. Lancer said, groaning before turning to Colette again.

"Miss Bevier...I'm going to have another call to come and check the security cameras. If I find that you were involved in some way, then I can assure you that not only will you be kicked out of this play, but you can look forward to a nice, long suspension!..."The teacher said, glaring at her.

The fake red-heard heard this and gasped while Star smirked, enjoying what she believed was karma. Her step-sister, however, was outraged and began to make a fool of herself to stand ground.

"Suspension?! You cannot do that?! I did nothing!..."Colette insisted, childishly stomping her foot.

Mr. Lancer, however, crossed his arms with a deadly technique of the teacher's skunk eye.

"For your sake, that better be the truth!..."The teacher said, having no further tolerance.

"I'm gonna call Papa and our attorney. Zhis is slander and defamation!..."Colette yelled.

"You would need a good name for it to be slandered..."Star said, glaring at her.

Her stepsister glared back and would have shouted had she not been under thin ice at the moment.

As Colette huffed and walked away, Star grinned as everyone else decided to get in line. Mr. Lancer went to go do as he said, while the prime suspect left, ranting about her supposed innocence.

"About time Lancer did something noble..." Star said happily before noticing Danny was looking at the ceiling where the light fell, much to her confusion.

"Uh... Danny-Boo?..."She asked as she touched his shoulder.

"I think it was a ghost or something like that..."He stated.

"Huh?..."Star asked, confused.

"My ghost sense didn't go off...but that light going back up didn't look normal... Besides... even if Colette did somehow arrange for the light to fall, how would she know you'd be under it at that exact time? And how did it get back up?..."He asked, pointing out the questionable logic and flaw in the attempted sabotage.

Star didn't think too much on it.

"She must've bribed a guy..."Star said, while her boyfriend sent her a look.

"What? It's possible. She's wasted 12 grand on a stupid HALLOWEEN costume and even bought a solid gold picture frame for your so-called "love declaration" she faked on for Valentine's Day, so she would waste money on anything if it meant getting her way..."She said.

"Even money has it's limits. Look, Starlight...I know that Colette is an over-financed snob who uses money to do what she wants, but she can't predict the future. She had no idea you'd be in that exact spot, nor could she have some someone replace it and remove the original without drawing attention..."Danny pointed out, pointing out the logic.

Suddenly, the wheels in Star's head moved. Hearing that, Star's excitement over Colette's predicament left, realizing now this couldn't be her.

"Huh...I was so sure it was her, but to be honest, you're right. There's no way that she could accurately get all that down to a T..."Star said, as realization dawned on her.

"I also think whoever did this is behind everything else..."Danny said, recalling all the chaos and misfortunes that have happened since this play has started.

"Yeah... just like the plant...and the snake...and that tiger..."She said, looking unsure.

"I'm even thinking that might explain the what happened with Tucker and the floor, and Mikey with the rope. Not to mention the other stuff..."Danny said.

"Are you really sure that it's a ghost?..."Star asked.

"I'm not sure, my ghost sense didn't go off but I heard laughter earlier and I've been sensing something off for days now. At first, I thought all the bad luck happening was just coincidences or someone pulling elaborate pranks but now I know that it isn't that anymore..."He said, being serious.

"Okay, this must be some plot against us..."Star said, knowing the drill at this point.

"Must be, why else would they mess with the play? Unless it's Hamalot, but like I said, I didn't sense any ghosts and I haven't seen him since the last play, so I doubt it's him..." Danny said, pondering.

"Do you think it's Vlad?..."Star suggested, but her boyfriend shook his head.

"I don't think so. I mean, it's one thing if it the jerk was targeting just you, me, Sam and Tucker...but I don't think he'd target the others too..."He pointed out, crossing his arch-enemy off the list of potential suspects.

As the couple tried to figure things out, a certain goth girl was bitterly trying to rehearse with her partner.

"There is no way I'm saying stuff like this to Manson..."Dash said, grossed out when he saw what lines he'd have to say.

"You will if you wish to remain in this play and receive you're extra credit..."Mr. Lancer said, showing that there is no two ways about it.

"I miss the days when this bald idiot blindly listened to us..."Dash grumbled under his breath.

"What was that?!..."Mr. Lancer asked, looking mad.

"N-Nothing!..."Dash said, sweating a bit.

Mr. Lancer frowned but made the "I'm watching you" gestured before ordering him to continue practicing with someone he hated.

"The things I do for extra credit..."Dash grumbled as he really, REALLY hated this.

"I almost wish that light landed on me..."Sam mumbled, ready to tear some of her hair out.

The rest of the scene went with little trouble, but both the actors truly did not enjoy it. Once their scene was done, Dash wasted no time in leaving, mumbling something about needing a shower.

Sam groaned as she sat down, looking like she was ready to deck someone.

"You okay?..." Danny asked.

"No, I'm not. I hate these lines and who I'm expected to say them to..."Sam said, wanting to tear the script apart.

"Hang in there, Sam. The school play isn't gonna last forever..."Star said.

"You're only saying that because you don't have to act love-sick over that moron..."Sam said, still looking bitter.

However, someone came by to see her. Someone whom she knew.

"Hey, Sam..."A new voice was heard.

Sam smiled but Star froze, as both recognized that voice.

"There's no way!..."She thought as she turned to see who was at the entrance.

It was Christopher.

"What's he doing here?..."Star asked, not comfortable to be around him.

Sam, not seeing the look on her face, shrugged.

"He's helping me learn my lines, since there is no way in heck that I'm gonna practice with Dash if I can help it..."Sam said, making a face at that.

The blonde vegan then appeared and didn't see Star yet.

"Hey, good news. I managed to pick up some soy cheese, gluten free, veggie pizza for us to eat and some wheat-grass juice for us while we practice our lines..."Christopher said, winking at her.

Sam smiled.

"Awesome, that's a relief..."The goth girl said, getting hungry.

Seeing him distracted, Star tried to get away.

Christopher's eyes landed on Star and lost his lighter tone. Star looked like a deer in headlights and everyone could feel the tension as the two cousins talked.

"H-Hey, Christopher..."Star said weakly, looking away.

"Hey..."Christopher said flatly, not as friendly as before.

"Heh... so-..."

"Anyway, come on Sam. The pizza is gonna get cold and we should hurry now..."The blonde vegan said, clearly wanting to leave.

"Uh...okay..."Sam said, getting pulled away.

Star would have said something, but Chris quickened his pace to leave faster

After Chris had left with Sam, Star had a sad look on her face, seeing that he was just as belligerent and unsympathetic with her as ever.

"He still hates me...As if I expected anything different..."She said, with regret on her face.

Her boyfriend place a hand on her shoulder and sent her a concerned look.

"Starlight..."Danny tried, but she shook her head.

"Let's just go and find some place else to think..."Star said, trying to leave.

Danny did what she asked, but his curiosity got to him. They made an excuse to Lancer to leave, and Mr. Lancer, not wanting to be blamed for what happened to Star earlier, allowed it.

Anyway, the couple began walking, waiting until they were at least 20 ft away before Danny spoke, regarding what happened.

"Star, please. I tried giving you space, to let you tell me when you were ready but I think this is going on long enough. At least tell me what really happened between you and Christopher. I don't want to see him making you upset and...I just don't want to see you hurt..."Danny said, looking truly worried.

Star didn't want to answer, she didn't want to relive the memory but she knew that her boyfriend was worried and wouldn't let up. The blonde girl sighed and tried to deflect the topic.

"Like I said...it's a long...and unpleasant story...And to be honest, I'd rather it be ancient history..."Star said, looking away.

"History's my best subject... admittedly, I have B but it's still something..."Danny said. "So, what's this story?..."He asked.

Star sighed as she brought him to a quiet and secluded area, sat down and began to talk. Once there, she decided to tell.

"Like I said, it all started a long time ago, before we wound up on Specter Island...it was a little before seventh grade ended..."Star began.

"But before all of that, you should know more about me and Christopher. Like I said, we used to be close...really close...like brother and sister..."She said.

"When I first moved from New York to Amity Park, I didn't have any friends and I was pretty shy as a little kid. That might be hard to believe, but it's true. Christopher was the son of my dad's cousin, Claire Morgan...he was a year older then me but that didn't matter. We used to play together practically all the time..."Star said as a small smile formed on her face as she recalled the past.

"We used to play all sorts of games, had sleep overs and he tried to be like a sort of mentor for me about nature and stuff like that. He and I used to get in and out of some much trouble and he was really protective of me, always sticking up for when whenever someone was picking on me...and he was one of the best friends that I ever had..."She said as she smiled fondly before she became saddened once more.

"Star?..."Danny said, as he urged her to continue.

"After my parents divorced, things got bad. A lot of issues had been happening in the family at the time, not just with my folks splitting up. Christopher's own side of the family had issues too, especially since his dad...well, let's just say he's no longer in the picture..."She said, recalling that it was still a touchy subject in their family.

She resumed her own touchy subject.

"Despite all that, he still tried being there for me, he gave me an ear to listen to and a shoulder to cry on...but apparently, that wasn't enough for me..."She said, looking ashamed of herself as she recalled her past behavior.

"I took him for granted and I went looking for someone else...someone I shouldn't have...And when I started hanging out with the A-listers, I began my transformation into that stupid mean girl you saw orbiting around Paulina and look down on you. Christopher didn't like it and thought my friends were a bad influence and told me to stay away from them...but I didn't listen, I just followed the crowd that I was in. In hindsight, he was right..."Star said, looking regretful.

"So, that's why you both cut ties?..."Danny asked, but she shook her head.

"No...it would be a few months later...that something terrible happened..."Star said, looking guilty about something.

"Star?..."Danny asked and his girlfriend looked ashamed about something and gave in.

"Like I said, when I joined the A-Listers, I did everything to fit in with them, including stuff I'm not proud of. But just before Chris graduated eighth grade...there was a beef between our old middle school and Poil Junior high..."Star said. "That's the school that Christopher went to..."She said, lip quivering as she recalled it.

"Dash and the others wanted to pull a prank on them and make them look dumb. They all got together poured meat juice all over the Poil Pig mascot and team before the game, humiliating them and making them a laughingstock. To make matters worse, Christopher was there and saw the whole thing!..."She said, finally revealing what had happened on that day.

Danny gasped.

He heard about what had happened to the Poil Junior team, but he didn't know all the details. He just knew that Dash did something and didn't care who he hurt.

His girlfriend continued, regret in her voice.

"Even worse, one of the players on the Poil team was a good friend of Christopher's and he was really upset by what our team did to him and his friends. On top of all of that, Christopher's girlfriend at the time was in the mascot suit...and she didn't appreciate what we did to her..."Star said, knowing he was a vegan even back then.

Danny was shocked as he listened as his girlfriend continued to tell the story. The part she hated.

"He was so mad about what happened that he confronted the A-listers about what they did to his friend and girlfriend. Christopher always speaks his mind and wanted them to apologize and come clean..."She said, looking more ashamed of herself as she continued.

"However, Dash and the others didn't care about what he said and scoffed at him, and Dash...being Dash...couldn't resist messing with him out of spite for daring to stand up to him..."Star said, feeling guilt and shame in her heart as she recalled what she did.

"I was there when it happened. Christopher saw me, he wanted my help but...I acted like I didn't know him..."She said, tears forming in her eyes as she recalled that decision.

"I knew that my "friends" looked down on guys like Christopher and the rest...So, I said and did nothing as the others made fun of him and Dash dumped all the remaining meat juice on him. After it was all over and the jocks were laughing at what they did...Christopher didn't say anything to me...but I saw the look in his eyes before he left. He looked like he was hurt...and betrayed...and maybe hate..."Star said, tears falling from her eye right then and there.

"I tried talking to him after the other's had left, I tried to explain to him why I did what I did but he refused to speak to me. He refused to speak or even look at me, but I kept trying to talk to him...then he snapped and we got into a big argument, but I spent that time trying to explain that it wasn't my fault...stupid, I know. After that, he stopped talking to me since then and we pretty much cut ties then and there..."She said, more tears falling from her eyes as she continued to recall the event.

"I spent a long time convincing...or rather brainwashing myself that I didn't do anything wrong and that my friends didn't either, and that Christopher overreacting and that he was being an idiot. That somehow, he was in the wrong and I wasn't in that situation...I know know that was just a load of garbage and he has every right to hate me for what I did...for turning my back on him!..."Star said, sobbing.

She sniffed hard, looking less than pretty at the moment, but she didn't care right now. She was still feeling guilty and miserable from her past mistakes.

"Christopher always cared about me, despite our different class levels and his own family issues, he always tried to be there for me and next to my dad, he was who I had the closest bond with...and how do I repay him? With a knife in his back! It's one of the worst things I've ever done and not a day goes by that I don't wish that I could go back in time and do things differently..."Star said, more tears falling from her eyes as they turned red.

Danny sent her a sympathetic look and wrapped his arm around her. He held her close.

"Why haven't you tried going to him? To tell him how sorry you are and try to fix things?..."Danny asked, not in accusation but out of suggestion to help her.

He saw the pained look on the blonde girl's face and realized it's the answer.

"What can I even say to him?! Hey, Chris, I know it's been years since I betrayed you for popularity but I'm real sorry, so wanna hang out again?..."Star asked in a false chipper tone before sighing sadly.

"Believe me, I've wanted to say I'm sorry to him so many times but...I can't face him..."She said, the look of disappointment and anger on his face stuck to the inside of her head.

"Every time I see him, I'm reminded of that day and what I threw away for fake friends and social statues that won't mean anything after high school...I can barely face him without being reminded what happened...and even if I could face him, I know that he's never gonna forgive me...and I don't blame him. I don't deserve to be forgiven..."She said, looking down at her feet.

Danny saw how sincere she was being. She truly believes this and he wanted to convince her otherwise. He would do anything to make her happy.

"Star, I know that what you didn't wasn't right but you changed. You know that you have. You're a better person now, one that I'm proud to call my girlfriend and the one I love..."He said.

Star sniffled loudly, smiling at him.

"Thanks, Boo..."She said, kissing him on the cheek.

"I just wish that changing his mind was easier than getting ghost powers..."Star admitted, looking sad again.

"Maybe you guys still can make peace. You won't know unless you try..."Danny said, trying to be encouraging but it did little to help.

"If only it was that easy, but you saw with your own eyes how he reacted towards me. I'm clearly not his favorite person and I haven't been for a long time. I don't think I ever will..."Star said, looking back at her feet.

"I'll help you..."Danny said, sending her an earnest look.

"You don't have to..."Star said, sniffing.

"I want to..."Danny said, being as loyal as possible. "It's clear that you regret what happened and that you still care about Christopher. If there is even a chance of fixing things between you guys, we should take it. Besides, I know that you clearly miss him...just from the expression on your face. We gotta at least try..."He said.
"Oh, Danny..."Star said as she hugged him, still sad but feeling better that he had her back.

The couple soon left together as they went back to rehearsing, getting their minds off the family drama for the time being.

Unknown to them, someone overheard them and formed plans. The figure grinned and found someone else to play with.

"Looks like someone's in need of being...taught a lesson. And I am the perfect one to try..."The figure said before vanishing, deciding to cause some more chaos.

It looks like someone was about to have their day ruined soon.

Next time on Staged

Tensions Rising on Stage


A/N(1): I dedicate this chapter to my family, my friends and my love for God :)


A/N(2): Special thanks to NeoMark, BeConfuzzled Writer and Jay the Average Fanboy for helping out with this chapter. You guys rock :)


REPLIES to my loyal and totally awesome reviewer:

CZS4, Jebest4781 and eecobeo: Thank you :)

Invader Johnny: How's this?

RonaldM40196867:

1) I'd say Danny hates him the most.

2) Paulina. Dash is just a nuisance for her but she and Paulina truly despise each other, despite being "friends".

3) No, she hates them way more than Dash. Dash is just a nuisance to her while Star is her arch-enemy.

4) Probably.

5) That will be answered later on, no spoilers.

Luiz4200: Sorry, no spoilers. We will have to wait and see who the mysterious prankster is.

Saberwolf335: We shall see what happens.

JDF Legacier Morphicon: Thank you :)

Here are my responses to your questions:

1) Honestly, I never felt that they had any real chemistry as a couple. I see them as good friends and maybe somewhat attracted to each other but I don't see it lasting long term in real life.

2) She'd definitely not be above using her powers to help her environmental agendas.

3) In the Stranded series, it would be Star, obviously. Outside this series, I'm tied between Ember, Kitty or even Valerie

4) Hard to say, I see her and Tucker as having a strictly platonic friendship and the show never really gave her much of a chance to have real bonds with other characters outside her circle of friends.

5) I guess Paulina, mostly since she and Dash are both shallow people, the best they could probably hope for is each other.


:) I hope you enjoyed this! Remember to read and review :)
