Hey guys. I'm back with another chapter. I'm really sorry for taking so long to post more chaptersm Before we start, I just want to say thank you to everyone who has supported this story, along with my other ones. It really means a lot:). Anyways, let's get into the:

xboxrica- I know, it's sad but also kind of funny:). Thanks for enjoying.

SonicELITE: You got this, bro! You can control them!

Lupus Boulevard: Lol, thank you so much:).

The Real Travioly: I know, soooooo weird.

TheDarkFlame15: I love how much you're enjoying this:). Don't worry, it will all be explained later. I'm really glad this story made you feel better. Thank you so much for your support:).

Guest: Unfortunately, Ludo will not appear in this story. I was going to add him earlier on, but i think decided against it. If I added him in now, it would seem awkward and would be like i'm adding him in for no purpose. I apologize for that. I'm glad you enjoyed the tuxedo part, though:).

deadshoot12345: Lol, don't worry. I knew what you meant:).

MaFx98: Thank you so much. I'm so glad you're enjoying it:). Your grammar in that was absolutely fine, because I understood what you were trying to say. Again, thank you:).

Now, let's get started.

"Ugh, Star!" Sabrina groaned, sweat dripping off her brow. "I can't pull you much longer!"

"Yeah," Ferguson said, panting and heaving. " For a tiny princess, you're surprisingly heavy!"

"Sigh," Star was on the sand, looking up at the clear blue sky with dreamy eyes and a dopey smile. Sabrina and Ferguson had their hands on her ankles, pulling her to their destination: wherever the heck Marco is. "Isn't Marco amazing?"

"For the fifth time, yes," Sabrina said hatefully. She let go of Star's ankle and fell on the ground. "I can't do this anymore."

Ferguson belly-flopped onto the ground. "Me either. She's gonna have to walk herself."

Alfonso walked over to Star, waving his hand over her face. Star acted nothing had happened, continuing to look up and fantasize about Marco.

"She's in a dream-like state. How do we get her out of it?" Alfonso asked. Suddenly, Jackie walked up from behind Alfonso, frowning.

"Like this," she said coldly. She then raised up her hand and slapped Star across the face. Everyone gasped as Star's head jerked back by the force of such a hard hit.

Jackie gasped with her hands over her mouth, realizing what she just did.

"Oh... oh my gosh! S-Star, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to... uh," Jackie babbled, sitting down on the sand and covering her face with her hands.

Star looked at her, her eyes now filled with concern and a hand mark on her face. She scooted over towards Jackie, who now seemed to be crying. Ferguson and Sabrina looked at each other and walked away, both of them realizing how sensitive the situation was.

"Jackie," Star began to say, looking down at her shoes. "I'm sorry this is all... happening. I don't want you to be hurt."

Jackie lifted her hands off her face, which was now covered in tears. "I... really lost my chance with him, didn't I?" Star continued to look down, starting to feel even more guilt. "I mean, how am I supposed to compete with you?"

Star looked up at her, surprised. "What are you talking about? You're Jackie Lynn Thomas, the one Marco used to pratically be in love with! I mean, all the guys like you. You're funny, you're cool... you're a whole bunch of things. Meanwhile, I'm just... me" Star once again looked down. "Just little weird me."

Jackie looked at her, her eyes glidtening with tears. "Star, did you ever think about why Marco likes you so much?"

"I don't know... because I'm lucky?" Star answered, shrugging her shoulders.

Jackie shook her head, a tiny smile visible on her face. "It's because of how unique you are. You're the funniest, sweetest, and toughest girl I've ever met. Who wouldn't like that?"

After a few seconds of silence, Star smiled and gave Jackie a hug. "Thank you."

"No problem. Now... let's go find your boyfriend," Jackie said, smiling and getting up. Star smiled back, but she suddenly started to feel butterflies flutter in her stomach.

'Uh, oh,' Star thought to herself, her heart beginning to pound as she followed her friends to find Marco.

Speaking of Marco, he was sitting in the food court of the mall, munching on nachos and sighing occasionally in sadness. He had on the suit he recieved from the strange ex- tuxedo store owner, which was causing girls to look his way. They seemed to like the way he looked, but Marco could only focus on one girl at the moment.

As Marco was continuing to think about Star, a young woman walked up to him with a smile on her face and her hands behind her back.

"Hi!" the woman said excitedly. "I just want to say that you're possibly the best dressed person I've ever seen in this mall!"

"Oh, uh... thanks," Marco replied, trying his best to be friendly.

"No problem," the woman said as she reached from behind her back and put two fancy-looking candles on the table. "Here. I own a candle store in this mall, and I'd like to give these to you for free. Just as a thanks for keeping good taste in fashion alive."

Marco looked at the candles and then at the woman, confused as to what's happening right now. "Um... thank you."

The woman nodded and gave him a smile as she walked away. Marco ran his fingers through his hair out of confusion.

'What the heck is going on? Why am I getting so many free stuff today?' Marco asked himself.
