MARCO : " Sit there.

*Eléna seated down on the couch while the Diaz family were looking at her, worried.*

ANGIE : Do you want some tea ?

RAFAEL : Or some Sugar Seeds ?

ELENA : No I'm—

ANGIE : Or burrito ?

ELENA : No—

ANGIE & RAFAEL : Or Marco's nachos ?

MARCO : Mom ! Dad ! Stop it ! Let her talk !

ELENA : I have... nothing to say..?

*Star was upstairs.*

STAR : Marco ! Do you really need a shaver ? You don't really have—

MARCO : I... I do need this of course !!! Take it !!!

STAR : Okay ! But really, you don't have—

MARCO : Yes I do !!! *Inspires then expires* So, Eléna, you're going to sleep in my room tonight. Call your dad so he can pick you up tomorrow.

ELENA : No... I'm scared...

MARCO : So... Do you want me to call him ?

ELENA : That's worse.

ANGIE : Maybe my husband and I can talk to him ?

ELENA : No !!! No one can call my dad except me ! I'm stuck ! Because I don't want to call him !!! I think I'm just going to stay here forever...

MARCO : You know you can't, but we can call the police if you want...

RAFAEL : Or call the Sad Teen Hotline !

ANGIE : No honey, you don't need to call them. Because... *Looks determined and angry* I will take care of him by myself. *Starts walking to the door.*

MARCO : *Blocks the door* No !!! You can't do that !

ANGIE : He deserves what he deserves.

MARCO : No !!! You're gonna make things worse !

ANGIE : I just want to protect your friend ! Don't you understand how I feel ? She lost her mother, and all is left to her is her dad, and he treats her like crap ! All she deserves is the love that can't give her mother to this girl. I'm going to be her new mother ! And I'll start by kick the crap out her dad.

MARCO : No !

ANGIE : Yes !!! You can't stop me, son !

ELENA : Okay ! Very fine. I'll call him. Stop fighting you two ! I'm just going to Hell by doing that but alright, that's fine ! *Takes her phone and calls her dad.* ... ... ... ... ... ... H... Hello... Dad... Yeah... It's me... Hm... Yeah... I'm going to sleep at a friend's house because you didn't pick me up... ... Yeah ? ........ Oh... Ok... *Hangs up*.

MARCO : Sooo... what did he say ?

ELENA : He... He has my location on his phone... He's coming... in 5 minutes.

EVERYONE : *Quiet* ...

ELENA : I think it's the moment you're supposed to panic.

EVERYONE BUT ELENA : Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah !!! Aaaaaah !!! Aaaaaaah !!!

*Star went down the stairs.*

STAR : Marco, I packed everything so we can go to our roo—

*She widened her eyes, looking at everyone screaming and running in the living room.*

STAR : Whaaaat theeee... *Comes to Eléna who was still calm* What's happening ?

ELENA : My dad is coming here to pick me up, but he's mad...

STAR : Oh... That doesn't smell good at all. Well... Narwhal Blast ! ... Oh, my bad, I forgot there's no magic anymore !

ELENA : Are you... a magical girl ?

STAR : Yeah, I was. I was even a princess then a queen then—

*Suddenly someone knocked the door really loudly several times. Everyone stopped moving and got silent as they're looking at the door. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. Again, the person knocked even louder.*

ANGIE : *Whispers to Rafael* ... Come on... Open the door...

RAFAEL : *Whispers back* I thought you wanted to kick the crap out of him... *Grabs the door cuff and gently opens it*

*The door now open reveals a tall man in a black suit-and-tie.*

MR. DUBOIS : Bonsoir. Est-ce que ma fille est ici ? (Hello. Is my daughter here ?)

ANGIE : Bonsoir... Je... Je suis Angelica Diaz, nice... to meet you—

MR. DUBOIS : Where's. My. Daughter.

ANGIE : Emmm...

ELENA : Je suis là, papa. (I am here, dad.) *She stood up from the couch as she reveals herself to her own father.*

MR. DUBOIS : Bonsoir, ma fille. (Hello, my daughter.) *Looks at Angie* Did she bother you ?

ANGIE : *Says no with the head*

MR. DUBOIS : Good. Allez Eléna, on rentre à la maison. (Let's go Eléna, we go home.)

*Eléna started to walk towards her dad.*

STAR : Wait ! *Grabs Eléna's hand* You don't have to—

“Reconnect
...
fix ...
... the magic”

*Star stepped back of astonishment. She felt a weird feelings in her, and she heard like a message from a voice she knew but can't identify. She let go Eléna as she walked away from her and joined her father.*

MR. DUBOIS : Sorry for everything.

*They start walking, but before getting in the car, Mr. Dubois glared at Marco with an angry look then went inside the car. Eléna was looking towards Marco as well, very worried, and they want away.*

MARCO : I feel... worried about Eléna... I hope she's going to be okay...

STAR : Marco... I need to talk to you...

MARCO : Okay. But first, we go in your room ! Wait. I have to take my things and yours you already prepared. And I hope you put my shaver..?!

STAR : Yeah... totally, totally...

MARCO : Then let's go ! Bye mom, bye dad !

ANGIE & RAFAEL : Bye bye lovebirds ~ "

*It was already night and Star and Marco were walking side by side under the star glow. But Star was very quiet, she was thinking about what she heard and felt earlier. What the voice was trying to say ? Fix the magic... Why, and how ? Reconnect what ? What is the meaning of this ? And most importantly, why this happened when she grabbed Eléna's hand ?*
