Several days have passed since the hospital's events. They had to say something to the police, but Star and Marco decided not to put on the white-haired girl and tell the cops that some armed man had attacked them in the cemetery. Beretta was confiscated, and all three were not charged. Star and Jackie became buddies again, and that business was forgotten. Enough retrospection, now it will be now: Today Mrs. Diaz's birthday was approaching. There was a tense atmosphere in the house...
- Could you help me with this cooking? - Star asked to his March.
- There's no need to! Thanks! - Marco replied stirring the cream for the cake. It did not sound too romantic.
- Oh! Do not be like this! - Star said trying to be helpful. The truth is that they were all busy preparing for the evening events, including Marc. Well...only Star has nothing to do. - I want to help you a lot. There is nothing to help you? Please! - then she looked at Marc with sweet eyes of a dog.
- No... - Marco thinks a moment - You could knead the mass for the cake...
- Will do! - she stopped full of enthusiasm.
- ...just... - He continued - You would have to do it yourself. Without...magic!
-Sure! Well, give this cake...
And as if on cue, Marco put on the table a large wooden bowl, and to her: flour, sugar, butter, baking powder and egg (without the shell, of course).
- Eee...where is the cake? - Star asked, rather surprised.
- (Marco) You just have to knead them! - replied the boy - For...sure...will you manage?
- (Star,I wave my hand) Prrfffff... well, I will give it! Who do you think i am? For some princess?
- Eh, it does not matter. Step back! - after which Marco made a place for the girl.
He decided to leave for a moment from Star and went to see how he was there with his parents. Dad was sitting on a ladder and hanging a banner.
- (Marco) Hi dad! What's up?
- Oh...Marco! Great that you are! - said Rafael - say: can it be? he asked his son, revealing a long, colorful piece of paper. An image of a jubilarian was drawn on it. And Rafael, Marco and Star stood next to her.
- The best 35 births for beloved Angie... - he read the inscription on the banner - He is...great! Great.
- You would like your girlfriend too!
- Emm...Jackie? - Asked Marco, slightly scared. He did not tell his parents about his " new" love.
- Yeah! he replied. Marco breathed a sigh of relief. However, it did not give him peace. He wanted to tell them for a long time.
After a while, however, they heard a slight noise in the kitchen. Marco decided to intervene.
- Star? What happened? - He asked, terrified by the noise. There is a reason: there was a cake mass around the entire kitchen.
- Ah...sorry, Marco. I did not know exactly how to knead this mass, so I dropped a tiny, very small, fat...spell...for those first parts...and... and...you see...
- Therefore, we do not use magic when cooking. At least not with us...on earth. (Thoughts) Hmm...wait, I have an idea.
After a while, Marco filled the bowl with ingredients previously exchanged.
- This is also my fault, Star. I did not tell you how to do it. Well, you have to mix it and then knead it, but...you have to do it...with your hands. - He explained showing his hands.
- Eh...hands?
- Well like that... - After which he stood behind Star and fast movement...he grabbed her hands. At first Star was slightly terrified of Marc's behavior, but she tried to trust him. - so...for starters, we start by putting our hands in the bowl. Oh yes! - then put her hands in the bowl.
- Just like that?
- Exactly. And now...we knead! - After which Star began to knead the ingredients for the dough.
The dough preparation process took a while. During this time, Star and Marco had a good time. Star preparing this mass, and Marco...manipulating her hands to make a cake. The whole scene looked very romantic, but the fact that it looks like this did not make Star and Marco a problem. That's what the two were about. After a dozen or so laps of mixing, the cake mass from the first ingredients transformed into a large ball of dough.
- You see, it's so simple. And without using a wand. - Said Marco, looking at their work.
- I always wondered... - She replied -...how do you do it , that everything is all you manage. All. Yourself. No magic.
- Well. I am from the earth. We've never had magic wands...But at least the fun was ahead!
-It's a fact. HUGS! - Then signaling hugged Marc. She also wanted to give him a kiss when they noticed that Marc's parents were watching the whole scene. They looked at them and seemed almost touched by the whole situation. Meanwhile, Star and Marco slowly walked away from each other and dealt with their own affairs...
In the evening...
A lot of different people and friends from the city came to the party. It was true that it was Angie's birthday, so it was mainly her friends, but other than that came the children of guests, so friends of Star and Marc. So when you and Mrs. Diaz talked to their friends from work and life, Star and Marco talked with their friends from school and...also from life. A few people were still amazed at Star's return to earth, but they still take it back as well as they did when they first arrived.
In the end...it's time for a birthday cake.
- (Angie) Oh...how nice! Thank you very much!
- (Rafael) Come on...blow the candles out!
Angie, hearing this, took air into her lungs and with one blow she extinguished all 35 candles. After a moment, applause and cheers rang out Angie took it very nicely. Mr. Diaz at that time pulled out a knife and cut the cake into pieces.
- Mmmm...a delicious cake! I did not eat better in my life. - She said, holding her piece of cake in her mouth.
The rest of the guests also praised the delicious cake, but I will not change all of them... :)
- Thank you. Our beloved Marco did it. - Rafael replied, tangling his son's hair.
- No exaggeration, I just made a cream with a glaze. - said Marco - It was Star who made the cake...
- Ooooh...I would not have succeeded without your help! - Star replied hugging Marc from behind. After a while, all the guests were again divided into adults and children.
Some time later, the boy grabbed a dessert spoon and began to hit her on the plate, making a loud noise and at the same time attracting the attention of all his friends.
- If you can, I would like to announce something ! Marco shouted to the others. All friends hearing the sound, and Marc's cry surprised, ceased all activities...
- Marco! What are you doing? - Star asked, also surprised by the boy's behavior.
- Trust me... - Then let go Star eye. After this sign, the girl moved away from Marc for a moment.
Marco took a deep breath...
- I know it's a bit unsuitable place and time to say it... - He began. - But I'd like to officially announce...that I recently broke up with Jackie! And that I broke up with her for another love of life. The real...love...which is everything to me...
- Whom? - One of the voices asked.
-Star...- After hearing this name, everyone around them was amazed.
- (Star) Yes Marco?
- I have to say it again. And probably not the last time: I love you - he replied - And you love me too! So I have to ask you...
After a moment, Marco grabbed Star's hand. After a moment he kissed her and looked her in the eye:
-Star Butterfly. - Be asked - Will you be my girlfriend?
There was silence around our heroes. Nobody said anything , you could only hear some of the breath in the audience. Marco was staring at Star's eyes. You can see in them a slight embarrassment, but also relief and great happiness. After a moment, an uncontrollable, enormous smile appeared on her face.
- CLEAR MARCO, I WILL LEAVE IT! - Then she squeezed Marc around him. He, however, returned the embrace with the addition of a light and strong kiss.
Everyone around our couple began to applaud and congratulate our couple on a new relationship, including adults. Including Marc's parents. After a while, you and Mrs. Diaz joined in the embrace.
- We're so proud of you Marco! - Said Rafael, squeezing his son and his girlfriend.
- (Angie) You do not even know what gift you gave me.
- I have to apologize for that I have not told you before...
- (Rafael) Do not overdo it Marco! We knew for a long time that you would be the perfect pair! You match...
- Firstly, Star's parents, now you... Seriously did you also think the same? That we are created for each other?
- Yeah!
- I think that we are created for each other! Star replied in the middle of her embrace. - How do you think Marco?
Angie and Rafael moved away...
- I think one thing...- He said -...hat I love you, Star!
- I love you too, Marco! - After which they were romantically hugged.
Everyone around them looked at the embrace and little applause. There is nothing like starting a new love with impetus, what is not?
