Hey guys! Sorry for the late upload. On the bright side, after realizing I don't want to end the story here, I wrote a new chapter that I think you'll love!
"No, mom!"
Again? Wondered Moon. She was shocked that her daughter had refused to ask out the boy of her dreams right now, but she was beyond shocked that she would refuse to ask him out ever.
"I'm not going to ask him out! A romance would get awkward, especially during those tough times we'll go through." She shed a single tear. "Broken friendships are easier to repair than failed romances."
Moon and River were both surprised. This was the most grown up thing they had heard out of their daughter since... well, since never. They both thought back to their own love story. And they realized that she was right. There was only one person that either of them had dated who they still considered a friend, and it was Lord Mildrew. They weren't even that close with him.
River held his daughter. "It's OK, sweetheart," he told her. And Star knew that it was OK. River looked over to see that Marco had just won his game of Sorry. "Now go, have fun with your best friend."
