Glitter for the first time in years! Couldn't be happier of the day she was having, she had finally found dirt on this loser her daughter was seeing, she can finally bring Star back onto the right path. She needed to prove it, she knew Star wouldn't take her word without any proof. She quickly returned home and took the camera she had received from Star for Christmas, she soon returned to the casino.

"No surprise he's still here" Glitter muttered while she hid behind a machine, she smiled and took photos of Andy gambling away his money. "This is almost too perfect!" Glitter smirk as she looked at her evidence, "Star will realise her mistake"

Glitter took the precious camera and left the casino, she had enough evidence to prove to Star he wasn't perfect. She smiled and heading back to her car, she had to park a few blocks away to ensure no one would recognise her. She suddenly heard people cheering and shouting, she looked up and saw Danny flying above her head.

"Danny…" Glitter whispered as he flew away, she smiled and subconsciously raised her hand as if Danny would swoop down and take her in his arms, flying away into the sunset. He was honestly the only man she has ever truly loved, let alone liked and didn't mind being in the same room with him. She could still remember the day when they first met, how he saved her from falling down that flight of stairs in high school. Being in his strong arms, looking up at his handsome and face! She thought he was gorgeous when he was a teenager but now... now he was stunning! He was dreamy and handsome as hell!

"Why didn't you give me a chance Danny? I would have given you everything... Anything you wanted" Glitter mumbled to herself in a depressed tone, staring at her beloved man. Glitter did everything she could back in high school, she was free for the taken and would have satisfied Danny's desires way before Ember did. But Danny refused to even talk to her let alone give her a chance, he wanted to be with Amberline and Amberline alone. What did that Amberline have that both Star and she didn't?!

"None of this matter anymore... Star will be with Danny no matter what" Glitter got inside of her car and placed the camera down, she simply drove off and headed to Star's job.

Sears – Clerk

"Have a nice day" Star said giving the woman her bag

"Thank you," the lady said smiling and taking her back before leaving. Glitter smiled and walked in towards her daughter, she took out her photos and threw them on the counter.

"What is this?" Star asked taking the photos. She looked down at the photos and flip through them, her eyes widen seeing Andy gambling and look very desperate, his eyes had a look of envy. "Where did you get these….?" She mumbled putting the photos down, "What is he… doing?"

"Your prince charming has a gambling addiction! Do you really want to be with a man, who wouldn't be able to support you financially? A liar? Is that what you want?" Glitter said smirking and knowing Star would dump Andy and come back to her.

"He's just having some fun…," Star said looking away

"I did some research about gambling addiction… do you want to know what I learned?" Glitter said taking the photos back, "Andy could be doing this because he's desperate for money, maybe it's a desire to experience thrills and highs? Oh! It must be for a social status associated with being a successful gambler! There are many causes that Andy could be using to gamble, but will he tell you? Or will he lie to you again?"

"That's not true!" Star said feeling tears forming, wishing her mother was wrong… she was wrong. Andy would never lie to her… would he?

"Has he been secretive? Or some anxiety? Lack of sleep or depressed over money? Pale skin? Is his weight different from before? Dark circles under his eyes?" Glitter said raising a brow. Star looked away, she didn't want to admit it but she had noticed Andy looked worried whenever he had to pay something, or whenever the phone ring.

"Why don't you ask him?" Glitter said smiling and walking away, knowing her little girl would be back in her arms by tonight.

Blackjack Casino

Andy walked out of Blackjacks after two hours of gambling, he felt disgusted with himself! He walked in with two hundred dollars and came out with only twenty dollars. The only money he had won back... The thrill of winning the money which was soon replaced by the guilt of the realisation on how much he lost.

"You fucking idiot" Andy mumbled to himself staring at winnings, "Why…. Why can't you stop?!"

Andy stops in front of his car and stared at his reflection from the window, he just couldn't stop himself from walking in a casino. He even knows the best casino to go, the ones that didn't charge much, the ones that would be flexible with his debts to them, heck! Even the ones that had the best chicken wings and the cleanest bathroom! He didn't know why he would enter whatever casino he saw, but he did know how it all started. His older brother brought him to a casino to celebrate his twenty-one birthday, he could still remember the excitement he had and the thrill when he won for the first time….. and ever since… he wanted to feel that feeling every day.

"I'm such an idiot…. I have to stop before I lost Star" Andy mumbled before entering his car, "This is the last time... the last time… the last time…."

Andy and Star are apartments

Andy held a bag of Chinese food in his arms, he didn't know how he managed to pay for this but he found some money. He already owned five grand to his loan shark and couldn't pay it back…everything he got his paycheck he would spend it on rent, food, and bribing his bookie for the best deals and insider types.

"Andy…." Star mumbled standing next to a table, "What this?"

Andy placed the food down and walked to the table, he saw she had found all of his papers to keep track of his winnings, his loss, and how much money he owned too many people. Andy rubs the back of his neck as he walked closer to the table, he glances at her and couldn't bear to see the look of disappointment and betrayal.

"Do… do you have a gambling addiction?" Star asked walking towards him. Andy shamefully looked away and didn't want to answer her, he couldn't repay his debts, he couldn't stop gambling, and he was about to lose Star because of this.

"Andy… I'm worried for you... This is a serious problem" Star said touching his hand slightly before Andy pulled away. "Andy... Please talk to me" Star said hugging herself.

"Please don't leave me…" Andy mumbled while staring at the floor, remembering how much he had lost because of his gambling not counting the money, "Please don't…"

"I'm not going to leave you, Andy," Star said in an honest voice as she held his hand, "I love you! And I want to be here for you, I want to help you get through this"

"You won't?" Andy asked a bit surprised, he had thought for the longest of time that Star would leave him once she knew, "Why?"

"Just like I said... I love you and I want to be here for you" Star said as she wraps her arms around him, hugging him and wanting Andy to know she meant every word.

"How do I stop this?" Andy asked holding Star tightly in his arms, "How? I tried so hard… on so many occasions…"

"I did a little of research about gambling addiction," Star said kissing his chest before looking up at him, "There therapy, medicine or support groups... But we should see a professional to choose the right treatment for you"

"Why are you doing this?" Andy asked while he placed his hand on the top of her head, "Why do you want to help me?"

"Because I don't want to lose you," Star said tightening her grip around him, "Gambling can lead to depression…. Even suicide and I don't want to lose you"

"I don't want to lose you either," Andy said as tears fell down his cheek. Andy didn't want to die because of his addiction, he wanted to live with Star for the rest of his life, and he didn't want to lose his chance of happiness because of his addiction. He could already tell the depression has started, he felt depressed whenever money came around, or whenever he entered the casino and lost.

"We'll get you help and I'll support you," Star said smiling at him, "We'll get through this together"

"Together" Andy mumbled while he hugs her

Clockwork's realm

"Can we go now?" Rhea asked crossing her arms while another soul went to the light, "You stop us from going last time"

"There was an upset" Clockwork said while he floated towards her

"Which you knew that it was going to happen" Rhea pointed and stuck her tongue out, "Jerk!"

"It's not my fault," he said lifting his hands slightly, "Let's just go"

"Finally! I wanted to congratulate them on the engagement for weeks" she said while Clockwork opened a portal.
