"Mom... I don't get all this preparation you're doing. I like the cool fairy lights in my room and the VHS player and stuff... But I don't get it... You must seriously want me and this new kid to get along huh?" Marco asked.

"Well, yes, Marco." his mom responded.

"Why? Does she suck? Are you... trying to get me a new girlfriend?" He asked her suspiciously.

"Nono, silly! You'll understand soon..."

"I really appreciate all this stuff you've brought out from the attic, Mom, and how hard you're trying to make me and this girl get along but... I've said it once and I'll say it again..."

"No exchange student will be better than Star..." his mom finished. She'd heard it all too much.

"Bingo. Just remember that okay?"

"Got it champ. Now go to the store to get some snacks for you and this new girl."

"Well, okay Mom. If you say so." Marco shrugged.

He got on his bike and darted to the store. He then almost fell off at the sight he saw. It was... Jackie! Ugh... Jackie... he didn't wanna talk to her right now, so he walked past her without interacting with her at all and he chained his bike up and walked into the store. Jackie looked a little dumbfounded he paid her no attention at all...

...

The day finally came for the new 'foreign exchange student' to stay over. Marco was in his bed relaxing and looking around. His room seemed quite feminine now... because of the pink bed next to his and the fairy lights illuminating the room too. Suddenly, his mom opened the door.

"Oh, Marco... she is outside! Ready to meet her?"

He walked to the door. When he opened it... his eyes widened in confusion... but suddenly... understanding.

It couldn't be...

It can't be...

It's...

Star?!

"M-Marco...?" She asked in shock.

"S-Star...?"

They walked up to each other and stared into each other's eyes...

"Hey..." said Star.

"Hi..." said Marco

Star suddenly broke the ice and lunged onto him, hugging him tighter than a vice...

"I-I thought I'd never see you again!" Star wept into his shoulder.

"M-Me too... Me too..." Marco cried.

It was... surreal. Unreal. They thought they'd never meet again. They looked at each other and took in each other's age.

"M-My goodness you've grown..." she noted.

"So have you... grown more beautiful, I mean..." Marco said.

He was on autopilot when he said that, but it was true. He'd never seen a more beautiful girl in his life. Star had gone pink after that.

"Ahhhh!~ shut it... shut it now!"

"I... still can't believe you're here! After... like... a decade..."
