"Hey."

"Hi."

The two teens looked into each other's eyes, smiles on their faces.

The sound of stomping made them aware of their surroundings again and they turned to watch Rich Pigeon run past, dogs still tailing him, while the Pony Heads laughed from the clouds above.

"So…," Star said, giving a bit of a nervous giggle.

"Yeah," Marco replied, "This may take some time getting used to."

"Star?"

Star turned around to see Moon, River, Eclipsa, Globgor, Tom, Pony Head, and virtually every Mewman she'd met approaching her. Likewise, Marco turned to see his family, friends, and acquaintances as well.

"Hi Mommy," Star gritted her teeth. "Yeah, we kinda… merged our deminsions together." "Star, it's fine," her mom gave her a gentle smile. "We'll make it work."

"Are you and Marco…?" River asked.

Star blushed. If her cheek hearts were still there, they'd be huge.

"Y-yeah, we are."

Star could hear squealing coming from Marco's side. She glanced over. Angie was practically bouncing on the soles of her feet, Jackie shot them an approving nod, and Janna had the smuggest of smiles on her face.

"I always thought you two looked adorable together," River said.

"I hope you two are happy together," Moon added.

"I think we will be, Mom," Star sighed. She looked back towards Marco and his massive entourage. Despite all the chaos of the fused dimensions, nothing could quell her joy of being back with him.


So strong was this joy that the next words out of her mouth came out as a song.

"What started out as friendship has grown stronger," she sang. "And only now we have the strength to let it show."

With no objections from her crowd, she went on. "I tell myself that I can't hold out forever. I said there is no reason for my fear."

"Cause I feel so secure when we're together," Marco chimed in. "You give my life direction, you make everything so cleeeeeeeear."

The two teens leaned on either side of a conveniently placed wall and continued together. "And even as I wander, I'm keeping you in sight."

"You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night."

"And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I miiiiiiiight."

Star opened her eyes to find her mom and dad on either side of her.

"And I can't fight this feeling anymoooooore," all three Butterflies sang, snapping their fingers to the beat.

"I've forgotten what I started fighting foooooor," Globgor sang as he hugged Meteora close to his chest.

Using the now useless Butterfly wand as a microphone, Eclipsa joined in, backed by Pony Head. "And if I have to crawl upon the flooooor! ("crawl upon the floor!")"

As did Buff Frog, backed by Tom. "Come crashing through your dooooor! ("crashing through your door!")"

Together, both crowds sang as one. "Baby, I can't fight this feeling any-!"

"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!" Oskar belted out the final line as Star and Marco walked off together, hand in hand, with all their friends and family behind them.

It was truly magical.
