~1 YEAR & 8 MONTHS LATER~

Star gets out of her car and closes the door. The wind blows through her hair and she laughs. It tickles. She walks to the front door of her house, watching as people carry out boxes, furniture, and other house items to a big truck.

"Hello?"

The 20 year old knocks on the door, walking in.

"Star!!"

"Mommy!"

Star hugs her mother. Moon kisses her cheek and rubs her face.

"I'm so glad you came!"

"Was I supposed to miss helping the best parents in the world move out of the only house I've ever known? I wouldn't miss it for the world!"

"Well good cause we weren't taking no for an answer."

Moon laughs and grabs a box.

"And I love what you've done to your hair. It suits you."

Star rubs the side of her head and smiles.

"Thanks mom. So, where's papa?"

"Ohh, you know him and his appetite. He went to get a pizza."

Star nods and helps Moon adjust the box in her hands.

"We're just finishing up taking these boxes from your room. Get them please?"

"Sure."

Star walks upstairs, slowly. She looks around at all the memories she's made in this home. She walks to her room and sighs at its emptiness. She reaches over, grabbing the box on the ground, and walking out.

"There's my Starship!"

Star looks up and sees Tom standing there. He's taller, and has black hair now. The eyeliner around his eyes sticks out and makes him look... hot actually. Star makes her way down the steps to set the box down and hug Tom tight.

"Ugh! I've missed you!"

Tom reciprocates the hug and kisses her forehead. She pulls away and eyes him.

"Wow! You look so great!"

"Me? Look at you! I like your hair!"

He gestures to her short, shaved, light brown hair. She smiles.

"Actually, this whole look. It really suits you."

He looks her up and down, examining the little things. Like her hair. And the piercing in her nose. The thick eyeliner around her eyes. Yeah, she's really changed.

"Really? Thanks, Tom."

She picks up the box and they walk outside.

"Soooo... how's college?"

She asks.

"Oh, it's great. Not the same without my best friend but, I really love it. How about you?"

"It's awesome!"

Star starts.

"Jackie and I have the CRAZIEST times but.. i miss you too."

"At least you think about me. Where is she anyway?"

The two stop at the loading truck and Star sets the box inside.
