Marco was writing something in his journal during lunch time.
"So, doing some diary thoughts again?" asked Janna.
"Janna stay out of my business," he said.
"What is it?" asked Janna.
"Not telling you," said Marco.
"What is it?" asked Janna.
"Please stop asking me," said Marco.
She kept asking him over and over until he finally gave in.
"Alright fine!" said Marco, "It's a song for Star ok?"
"Whoa," said Janna, "You go boy."
"But please don't tell star," said Marco, "It's a surprise."
After school she saw a letter for her.
"Dear Star, meet me after school at the house, I have a surprise for you," it read.
Star had a wide smile on her face.
"I wonder what the surprise is," she said.
Later Marco got out his old guitar his dad gave him.
Star was at the front of the house waiting for Marco.
He came out with the guitar.
"Marco what's this about?" asked Star.
"Well…. After what happened a few days back, something came into my head," said Marco, "So I decided to turn it into poetry."
"Awww," said Star.
"Its…. A song that I wrote for you," said Marco.
Star blushed.
"R-really?" asked Star.
"Yeah," said Marco.
He started playing the guitar and begun to sing.
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go."
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone,"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window, darling.
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
La, la (la, la)
La, la (la, la)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
La, la (la, la)
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Star had tears in her eyes.
"That was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard," said Star.
"I'll always be there Star," said Marco, "No matter what."
"No matter what?" asked Star.
"That's right," said Marco.
Star jumped at him and gave him a kiss.
"I love you," said Star, "I always have, and I always will."
Marco was happy to hear that.
"I love you too," said Marco as he smiled.
They kissed again.
A dimensional portal opened up and Pony head came out.
"Star, something ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ad is happening," she said.
"What is it?" asked Marco.
"Hey Earth Turd," said Pony head.
"Pony head, what's going on?" asked Star.
"HE's back!" said Pony head.
"Who?" asked Marco.
"Toffee!" said Pony Head.
That name made them both shutter.
