(Star's POV)

I woke up this morning cold. I frantically started flapping my arm around to try to find Marco, but he wasn't there. I flicked on the light by my bed and checked the time, then I realised that my watch was set to earth time. I rolled over and saw Marco sitting on a chair reading a book on native Tamaranian. "Morning Star."

I smile. I thought he wouldn't be there. "Morning Marco, how are you?'

"I'm fine. How are you my beuitiful princess?"

"Ok, I guess." I looked at the floor. I felt a tear slowly make its way down my cheek and loudly splashed down on the red concrete. Marco ran over and out his arms around me as I continued to cry. He squeezed me into a tight embrace, comforting me. I continued to cry. "I'm...so *sniff* ashamed with...myself."

Marco continued to hold me. He cradled me in his arms. "Let me guess, you woke up and wanted to make sure I was still there. But when you couldn't find me, you instantly assumed that I had snuck out and you would find me lying on the floor in Avery's room."

I looked up at Marco. My eyes were stinging from my crying. He was right. I instantly assumed he was with Avery. "You must hate me."

Marco started to laugh. He tried not to let it show by closing his mouth, but his chest indicated he was laughing. "Star, did you not listen to anything I said last night. You are my perfect girl, I could never get mad at you, let alone hate you." He started to stroke my hair. "You could never do anything that could stop me loving you." He kissed me, not hard, but enough to show me that he cared. I felt safe in his arms, like I couldn't be touched by the outside world and that I could never be hurt again. He sat me down next to him and got up. I'm going to see Zach about the artefact that we have to protect. "
