Vivica had a hard time with certain other students in her school. Specifically twelve other students.

Every once in a while, the twelve of them would be called to Lady Stella's office. This would normally leave Vivaca feeling elated. Getting called to the headmistress would mean the girls were in trouble. And there were rumors they were there to receive extra help. But they would always leave the place smiling happily. They never talked about the lessons, though. It was apparently some big secret.

One good thing-for some strange reason-Leona's band-The Star Darlings-which Vivica wouldn't know doubled as the twelve's secrets-was broken up by Lady Stella. And Vivica's was the only band left in the school.

But. The "Star Dippers" as she now called them, had gotten her in trouble more than once. There was the time Vivica tried to capture a Bad Wish Orb on her own. Then the Dippers did this instead of her. There was also the time, Sage-a "Star Dipper" and apart of , "The Star Darlings"-had floated her across and up and down the halls-although Vivica was now sure Lady Stella had tried the same exact trick, not Sage.

But there was something about the Star Darlings band leader, Leona, who she hated the most.

Vivica hated to lose.

And she vowed to win.

Vivica found the former band leader in the Illumination Library pacing this way and that, shaking her golden curls. Currently the confident, loud girl was obviously upset about something.

Vivica hid behind a bookshelf to spy on her.

Leona sat down at a nearby chair and got out her Star-Zap, which was similar to a cellphone. Two people popped up on the screen.

"Leona! We need to talk," said a man in a golden nearly-shaved head.

"Yes, it's time for you to return home," said a woman with golden curls witch rested on her shoulders. "You must complete your training in as an apprentice bookkeeper for the family's shoe repair store. Not some silly wish granting school."

Leona slumped in her chair. "But Mom! Dad! That's so unstellar! I'm learning so much and I've met hydrons of friends here! And the work I've done means so much to me!""

"'Work'?" the parents repeated.

"Um. SCHOOLwork?" Leona said, trying to cover it up.

Leona's dad raised an eyebrow. "Leona, if you're hiding something from us, we'd like to know."

So, Leona told her parents.

Everything.

Vivica was more than surprised.

Her mom and dad exchanged looks.

"Leona, we'll let you continue your 'work' here. Just do one thing:".said her mom.

"YES?" asked Leona, elated.

"Create a better disguise," said her dad.

With that, the Star-Zap call ended.

Vivica then hatched an idea.

She stopped hiding behind the bookshelf and sauntered over.

"Heeey, Leona!" she greeted.

Leona was sitting with her elbows on the table when she looked up. "What do you want, Vivica?"

Vivica tried to sound sweet and innocent. "I was just reading a Holo-Book when I saw you talking to your parents. They are your parents, right?"

Leona was offended."You know everything, don't you?"

"Well, I think I may be able to help you," Vivica

Leona frowned. "Why should I believe you? You don't like me and I don't like you. Our bands were competing."

Vivica faked more sympathy. "Leona, I thought we were both over this! You forget that it was my band the only one left in the school! I hold no grudge!"

"What's your idea?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Vivica had asked to see Leona's dorm room. Leona was unsure, but she let Vivica be her guest, anyhow.

Half the room was a golden hue with a mini stage and a microphone to go with it and the other half was mostly black, and had a board and ramp another Starling would use for sports named, "Scarlett". Scarlett was Leona's roommate.

"Huh," Leona said, dumbfounded. "I wonder why the room didn't change for you."

"Psh," Vivica scoffed,, like she tried to hide something."So!" Do you have anything like a chair and a blanket?"

"Yeah. So?" Leona raised a brow.

"How about scissors?" Vivica asked again.

"Just from the winter time to create snowflake origami," Leoma said as she sifted through her drawers. "Why?"

"Vivica got all three items and said, "To create your disguise!"

Leona went to a seat in front of a mirror. Then Vivica lead her away.

"So you aren't surprised.," said Vivica.

"I DON'T really like surprises!" said Leona.

It was actually to be sure that Leona was not displeased and stopped in the middle of it.

Before she started, she got out a vial of blue goop. Then she got out a half empty vial and the scissors. She clipped a lock of Leona's hair and placed it in the second vial, turning it into more goop.

Then Vivica poured the blue goop on Leona's hair and the golden goop on her own.

Vivica left the room silently. After some time, Leona opened her eyes and sat up.

"Vivica"? Leona asked as she approached the mirror.

"Super Zoomy!" she declared.

Then Leona scanned the room.

"Vivica"?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Vivica ran all the way to her own room. She didn't stop until she found her mirror.

Her hair was pure golden-colored!

"Starmendous!" she declared.

Then she heard a knock on her door.

"Vivaca!" Leona called.

Vivica put on a nearby hat on. A golden one, before stepping outside.

She was obviously nervous.

"Y-yes?" she asked.

Leona paid no attention and stepped inside.

"Um. What's all this?" Leona asked.

The entire room was golden! Not even another roommate was apparently there to share in the color!

"I guess you found me out," Vivica said. "Follow me in and I'll explain everything."

Leona and Vivica walked in and sat down on golden plush cushions.

"You see, I was always popular. I liked it, too! Then you transferred here and everything changed! You were the center of attention! Not only that, I was sure you would be a celebrity and shine like a true star! I no longer cared about being popular. I wanted to be YOU!"

Leona clutched her heart. "You-You did?"

"So, I got out some sap from the grounds' kaleidoscope trees and changed my roommate's color and your and my hair. I kept my roommate quite and only changed those three things. I didn't want anyone to know about it for embarrassment. I also turned your hair blue. I've decided I don't like my own hair. And that's it,"

Leona placed a hand on Vivaca's.

"Well, I must say-I am flattered!"

"Vivica was relieved. "Good. I was thinking you'd find me creepy. Or just some random fan."

"To be honest, I'm you're fan, Vivica!"

Vivica beamed up at her. "Really?"

"I hate to admit it, but your songs are stellar, girl!"

"Does that mean you won't tell anyone about me?" Vivica asked.

"Cross my stars!" Leona said with a hand motion. "As long as you let Lady Stella update the look to match my Wishling disguise."

"Sure thing!" Vivica agreed.

"And one day, you'll let go of your embarrassment and wear what you want!" Leona said with a grin.

So, the two girls were friends and helped each other from then on.
