Star arrives in the middle of Nowhere, near the Bagge's house. Courage, a pinkish-purpleish dog, was busy digging in the dirt, when he suddenly sees how Star entered the middle of Nowhere. Star notices Courage.

"Ooh, a dog." said Star. As she walks towards Courage, Courage freaks out, doing one of his signature screams, this time, his eyes bulging and his fur extending like goosebumps. His jaw enlarges as well.

He was thinking that she was an alien in disguise, or a monster about to attack him. Star could tell that Courage was afraid of her as his eyeballs bulged a lot.

Now that she was in front of Courage, she squatted down and petted him.

"There, there. Don't be afraid. I'm not gonna harm you." said Star. Courage finally calms down, and breathes normally. As she continues to pet him, the front door of Courage's house opened, and coming out of the door was an old woman, named Muriel, walking towards them.

"Courage, what was all the noise?" asks Muriel.

"He freaked out since I suddenly appeared in front of him." said Star.

"Oh, Courage can act like that sometimes. We usually see a lot of monsters here, and Courage freaks out at those monsters a lot."

"(GASP) you have monsters in this place?! I can totally beat them up!" said Star, jumping with joy. This seemed like an interesting place to her.

"You're quite a chipper young lady, are you?" asks Muriel.

"I have no idea what you said, but I'll take it as a compliment, so yes." said Star.

"Well then, do you want to come in for a cup of tea?"

"Okay." said Star.

After introducing themselves, Star, Muriel and Courage walk inside the house, and into the dining room. Courage and Star sat down at the table while Muriel was getting the ingredients for the tea. As she was finishing making the tea, another person was walking down the stairs and into the dining room.

It was Eustace.

Since he usually hates guests, he looks angry when he sees Star talking to Courage.

"Muriel, who is that wretched girl at our table?!" yelled Eustace. Muriel turned to Eustace with a disappointed look.

"Eustace, this is Star. And she's not a wretched girl. She's a fine lady. Now sit down while I finish making the tea." said Muriel. Eustace sits down beside Courage and Star. He then begins to pick on Star.

"You know how to spell "ugly?" U, YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU!" said Eustace. Star looks down with a saddened face, as Courage goes under the table, writing something on a piece of paper. He then gives it to Star, who reads it.

"And you, sir, are extremely…bald." said Star. Eustace could be seen, facepalming and grunting as Courage laughs at the prank.

"Well…well…you're so ugly, it looks like you came from ugly parents! HA!" said Eustace. Courage makes another note and gives it to Star.

"And…your mother's bald, so that makes you…bald." said Star. Eustace could be seen shaking with anger, as he tries to make a comeback.

"Well…um…you're so ugly, that even the ugliest monsters are afraid of you! Hee hee." Courage finishes another note, giving it to Star.

"And…the monsters with fur are afraid of you because you're…bald." said Star. As Courage laughs, Eustace was completely fed up with the prank.

"Why I oughta…" as he was about to do something to Star, Muriel comes with the tea, with a stern look on her face.

"Eustace, have you no sense of hospitality?" asks Muriel.

"I do not."

"Well then, you can have your cup of tea outside."

"But she called me bald!" said Eustace.

"Like what the hunchback said before, you are bald." said Muriel.

"Well, keep her away from me." said Eustace, storming out of the door with the tea. Courage comes out from the table, and both Star and Courage giggle.

"Alright, you two. Here's your tea." said Muriel, giving the tea to them.

"Thanks, Muriel." said Star.

The three had a small conversation, and later on, Star played with Courage outside, doing stuff like shadow puppets in the barn, playing with bells, and making silly things with Star's wand like rainbows on fire. Eustace was outside the barn, sipping his tea, glaring at both of them.

"Stupid dog…" he muttered.

11:00am -

Star said to the Bagge family that it was time for her to go.

"Thank you for your kindness. I really love your hospitality here."

"You're welcome, Star." said Muriel.

As Muriel and Courage wave goodbye (while Eustace just goes back to the house.), Star leaves, and cuts open another portal. However, before she hops in, she thinks a bit.

"Alright. This will probably be the last place to visit. I need to get back home for lunch later." said Star to herself.

She then hopped in to the last place.

Okay, what did you think of this chapter? I'll see you all in the next one.
