In the bathroom, (Y/n) watches Star straighten her red horned headband in the mirror. "Eh." Using her magic wand, Star cycles through several different headbands: a flower headband... "Ugh." ..a pirate hat... "Uhh." A red fez with a gold tassel... "isn't that Stan's from Gravity Falls?" (Y/n) asked. "No, silly, Stan's has a fish on it, remember?" Star asked. "Oh. Right." (Y/n) said. ..a blue unicorn horn and mane... "Ugh." Star said. ...and a green cactus headband. "Ah! Cacti for the win." Star then uses her wand to put the same one on (Y/n)'s head. Marco bursts into the bathroom as laser puppies yap around his feet. He rushes to the mirror and shoves Star out of the way. Marco screams. "Out of the way! I overslept! I'm gonna be late!" Marco briefly rummages through things on a nearby shelf. He brushes his teeth with a hairbrush and his hair with a toothbrush. Behind him, the laser puppies scurry around shooting lasers in random directions. "Ah! Where's my hoodie?!" Marco asked. "Whoa, chill, Marco. We can still get to school by first period." (Y/n) said. Marco puts his red hoodie on backwards and pulls the hood off his face. "This isn't about learning! This is about love." Marco said. 

"Every day, I get there by 7:55, because at exactly 7:56, Jackie Lynn Thomas gets there. And we share a nod. It's kind of our thing." Marco said. "Awww..." Star said. "Wait. A nod? You don't even say hi?" (Y/n) asked. "I'm working up to that." Marco takes a folded-up paper out of his pocket and unfolds it. "See? It's all a part of my 23-step plan. I'm already on step 4: nodding every day." Marco said. "Hmm." Star said. "Unbelievable." (Y/n) mumbled. "Hey! Down, boy!" Marco falls over. "Bad laser puppy" he looks at the clock. "It's 7:54! I can't make it! Can't one of you just... uh, uh, magically stop time or something?" Marco asked. Star scoffs, and laughs. "Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Easy Peasy Time Freezie." A magic ticking clock effect appears over (Y/n), Star and Marco. The laser puppies' movements and barking slow to a halt. In the kitchen, Mrs. Diaz flips a pancake; the pancake freezes in midair. In the shower, Mr. Diaz—wearing his Viking helmet and holding a rubber duck—sings opera; his singing slows down and stops. Marco touches one of the laser puppies' lasers mid-fire with one of his fingers then he puts his hurt finger in his mouth to heal it. "Sis, Do you know what you just did?" (Y/n) asked. "Uh... froze time?" Star asked. "You froze time!" Marco touches Star excitedly. "Now I can get to school and nod at Jackie! Hurry!" He said.

"School?" Star touches Marco's face. "But it's a freeze day!" She said. Marco's eyes widen with excitement. As the three run out the front door jumping and laughing, a time-frozen laser puppy chases a time-frozen mailman. Star uses her magic to give an infant a mustache. The three laugh. (Y/n) gives everyone in the area mustaches. Later, at a birthday party for Amy, a little girl in one of Charlie Booth's foreign exchange families, (Y/n), Star and Marco eat birthday cake. Star has a lit candle on her tongue. The trio laugh. Later, at the school, Lars gives a nerdy-looking kid a wedgie. Marco frees the kid from the wedgie, and (Y/n) gives Lars an atomic wedgie. Later, (Y/n), Star and Marco have a picnic on top of a car in the middle of a freeway. "Yee-hee!" Star said. Marco and (Y/n) are laughing. Later, in Marco's dojo, (Y/n), Star and Marco laugh while Jeremy Birnbaum is in the middle of a flying kick. 

Marco slaps him. Later, as Ludo emerges from a dimensional portal, Star switches his skull crown with her cactus headband. (Y/n) takes a picture of Ludo wearing the cactus headband. (Y/n), Star and Marco return to the school. Marco laughs. "That was the funnest sixty hours of my life!" He said. "Heck yeah!" (Y/n) agreed. "Oh, hey, there's frozen Jackie!" Star said. "I better get into optimal nod position." Marco straightens his hair and leans against the lockers. "Ready." He said. "...Or maybe now's the time to move on to the next step of your crazy plan. You could talk to her...!" (Y/n) said. Marco looks at Jackie. "T-The wind isn't right. I've got a pimple coming in. Uh, I'll just do the nod today." He said. "Okay... Easy Peasy Time Unfreezie!" Star said. Nothing happens, and time remains frozen. "Huh. Easy Peasy Time Unfreezie!" Star said. Still nothing happens. "Ooh." Star said. "Sis, what's going on?" (Y/n) asked. Marco approaches Star, who has a frozen smile. "Star?! Star! Not you too!" Marco said. "Oh no! Star!" (Y/n) panicked. "Ha-ha! I'm just messin' with ya!" Star said. Marco and (Y/n) share an unamused look.
