Chapter 3-Only Halfway Through Break !
'You were jealous ! I could see it in your face. Your face never lies, Star !', Marco said as they were bumping each other in bumper cars at a local fair that happened to be in the community at the time.
'I guess I was. I didn't really know what jealousy was or what it looked like but when you looked at her amorously, it made me feel like I was going to shoot laser beams out of my eyes !', Star said. The feeling had been intense but it had passed as quickly as it had come upon her. She apologized for her emotions, because it seemed the closer she came to Marco, the more likely they were to surface.
'Don't feel bad, Star. You're just becoming more familiarized with what it is to be human. I know things were different on Munie but this is simply earth life. Complex, messy, but so totally worth it. Hey, do you want to get an elephant ear ?', Marco said as he nailed Star's car with another bump and the ride came to a stop.
'Why would I want to consume a pachyderm's ear ? Wouldn't he need it to hear ?', Star wondered aloud.
'You still have much to learn, Star Butterfly.', Marco chuckled as he brought her to the booth and bought them both the sugary pasteries. Little by little, Star was beginning to comprehend Earthlings and earth life. Munie had nothing like these elephant ears as delectable as they were.
They finished the evening watching the stars from a ferris wheel until the midway had closed down for the night. They would be heading to another town by the weekend and it would be a bit sad when they left, but Marco and Star had experienced so much fun it had been worth stopping by just to let off a little steam.
