Ludo's Dimension:

It was 5:30pm, and Ludo, Tom and the monsters were still waiting for Buff Frog to return from his mission. Again, Toffee was just reading the newspaper, while Ludo, Tom and the monsters were just staring at the wall, waiting.

Finally, Buff Frog came back through the portal. The portal closes.

"Have you found Star Butterfly?" asked Ludo.

"She's not at the house. But her bodyguard is in his room, asleep."

"Who goes to sleep at 5:30 in the afternoon?" said Tom.

"Somebody doesn't know what a nap is. But anyway, I found Star Butterfly crying her eyes out at a park near from the house."

"Excellent work, Buff Frog! Without her bodyguard, this will be as easy as pie."

"But Ludo, you said it was hard to make pie." said Lobster Claws. Ludo facepalms.

"Lobster Claws, this is no time for bad puns!" said Ludo. "Alright, Tom. Do your job!"

Buff Frog cuts open a portal to the park and gives Tom his Dimensional Scissors. Tom runs to the portal and hops through it. The monsters still stay at the castle, waiting for him to come back.

"You sure this plan is going to work?" asked Lobster Claws.

"Of course it's going to work!" yelled Ludo. "And I'm excited!"

Local Park:

Star was still crying on the bench. She still couldn't let go of the feeling that Marco despises her now, and feels that he will never forgive her.

Tom was already at the park. He quietly runs until he was behind the bench Star was sitting. Behind the bench was a bush, so he was hiding in there.

"Maybe I'll just quietly go to Marco and just tell him that I'll leave. Then he'll have some space. I just want to make him happy again." said Star, about to leave the bench.

"Oh, you're not gonna talk to him anymore, Star." said Tom, hiding in the bush, reaching out to Star.

"Huh?!" Star said in surprise. Tom then immediately shuts her mouth with his hand and grabs her body with the other. Star struggled to break free from him, but he grabbed her tightly. She tried reaching for the wand on the couch, but again, he was grabbing her.

"Now to make sure you don't come near him again…" Tom knocks out Star, by pinching a nerve a little near her neck. Star slowly tries to stay awake, but is knocked out.

Tom drops Star to the ground and Star drops her Dimensional Scissors. Tom doesn't notice it, however. He grabs the wand, and carries Star. He cuts open a portal with Buff Frog's scissors and hops through it.

After hopping through the portal, he sees Ludo and the monsters. Ludo looked extremely happy.

"I have Star and the wand, Ludo." said Tom.

"EXCELLENT, TOM! I should probably hire you!" said Ludo.

"No, thanks. I just wanted revenge on Marco."

"Now, since Marco doesn't know that Star is missing yet, we shall finish the plan!" said Ludo.

Star's House, 6:00pm:

Marco wakes up to hear the sound of ringing coming from downstairs.

"Who could that be?" thought Marco.

He slowly opened the door, and walked down the stairs. He saw the phone ringing, so he picked up the phone.

"Hello. Who's speaking, please?" said Marco.

"Hi, Marco." said the voice. Marco immediately knew who it was, and was startled.

"J-Jackie?!" said Marco.

"Yeah, it's me. Hi…" said Jackie.

"How did you get my phone number? We barely talk to each other."

"I asked one of your friends, Ferguson to give me your phone number so that we could talk…"

"Talk about what?"

"The incident that happened…after…school…" Marco immediately blushed red, and shook a little bit.

"Jackie. I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you after school when I said that."

"No, it's okay, Marco. I'm…super flattered."

"Really?"

"Yeah. It's just that, you should've told me about your crush on me a while back. If you have, I would've accepted it."

"Why? Why should I have told you a while back?"

"Well…if you did tell me back then, I wouldn't have been in a relationship with another guy." Marco felt like his heart broke when Jackie said that.

"Oh…I see…you're in a relationship with another guy. Who is it?"

Jackie took a while to answer, but then she said it.

"Oskar." said Jackie. Marco felt confusion and shock at the same time. Both of them liked each other?! How was that possible?! He never saw both of them interacting with each other.

"Wait…you and Oskar are in a relationship?! I never saw you both together once!"

"That's because we wanted our relationship a secret. I didn't want to tell everybody yet."

"Okay. I just found that strange because Star liked Oskar, and I liked you. Such a coincidence."

"Yeah. Such a coincidence. Anyway, where's your friend, Star?"

"She's probably upstairs, asleep. She's probably hiding from everybody and me ever since she told you I have a crush on you on purpose. I still feel a little mad at her."

"What are you talking about? The whole incident was an accident." said Jackie. Marco stood up. The whole thing was an accident?

"Wait, Jackie. What Star said was just an accident? She didn't do it on purpose?"

"Yeah…it wasn't on purpose. It was just an accident." Marco facepalmed himself. He felt super guilty he yelled at Star. He said all those things he didn't mean and now, he had a guilty conscience.

"Something wrong, Marco? You seem quiet."

"Yeah. I'm the something wrong. After the accident, I yelled at Star and demanded that she get away from me. Now that I realize that it was an accident, I regret saying everything."

"Marco, Star would never do such a thing. She's your best friend. She would never do anything that stupid."

"Yeah. I messed up."

"Well, why don't you apologize to her now?"

"I guess I should. Alright, bye Jackie."

"Bye, Marco." said Jackie. Both of them hung up. Marco, however, didn't apologize to Star yet. Instead, he got onto the couch, with so many thoughts that plagued his mind.

"I'm such an idiot! I deserved to get yelled at! I didn't believe Star, and now, what is she gonna think?! She's probably never gonna forgive me!"

"I screwed up…big-time."

"I shouldn't have said that out of my mouth. If I didn't, none of this would've happened."

He began to word his apology. It took a while, but eventually, he got his words right. He quietly got upstairs, and then he was in front of Star's bedroom door.

"Okay, Marco. Time to set things right." he thought to himself. He slowly opened the door. He did it quietly, because he thought Star was asleep by then. Once he opened the door, he got a big shock.

Star was not in the bedroom.

"Star? Star?!" Marco said in shock. He looked and peeked everywhere in the room, but Star was nowhere to be found.

"STAR! WHERE ARE YOU?!" yelled Marco.

He quickly went down the stairs, and flung open the door. He closed the door outside, and rushed through the neighborhood to find his best friend.

Alright, what did you think of this one? Read and review.
