Again folks, sorry about the late upload!
About a week later, Star and Marco were taking a walk together. They saw Jackie in the distance. Marco was a bit apprehensive about talking to his ex, but Star had no such fear. She called out to Jackie, who stopped walking so her friends could catch up. They decided to walk and talk.
In the days since the party, Star had figured that if Marco wanted to ask her out, he knew she would accept. So there was no point in popping the question herself.
They talked for a while about what they had been up to over the past week. Then Jackie looked over at the other two and said, "You know, Marco, you and Star would make a great couple." Marco, who didn't know until now how Jackie felt on the subject, was shocked to hear her say this. Star, on the other hand, had almost expected to hear it.
Marco immediately knelt down, kissed Star's hand, and said, "Star Butterfly, will you do me the honor of going on a date with me?"
Star laughed at Marco's obvious mockery of the way Mark Days had asked out his best-friend-turned-girlfriend Stella Monarch, on the latest episode of Fiesta de la Noche. Then she stopped laughing. "Ohhhhhhhhhh!" she said. "You're serious!" And in that moment she realized two things: first, a romance with Marco would not be awkward if they both felt the same way, and second, if Marco could stay friends with Jackie after their breakup, he could definitely stay friends with her, even if the whole romance thing didn't work out.
THE END
