As I pace outside Star's door, I can't help but let my worry escalate. When Star called me, she refused to tell me what was up, instead insisted that I come so she could tell me what was up. Her enthusiastic speech reassured me that another wild adventure was on the way. When I finally finish the ten-minute walk to Butterfly Castle, I couldn't help but be giddy with anticipation. As she approaches me, I can't resist asking, "so are you gonna tell me or what?" "Well, basically I finally told my mum how I wanna become an ambassador and she's all for it." 

"See it's just like I told you, Marco Diaz never gets it wrong," I than follow through with a finishing dab. "Oh Marco, you are such a dork," she says between fits of laughter, clearly reacting like I hoped she would. "Thank you, for always being there and never giving up on me." she pauses before rubbing tears forming at her eyes and standing up straight. "There's something else I'd like to show you." she gestures to her table where an ancient looking frog like music box sits. "What's that?" I ask, motioning towards the two boxes she cradled in her arms piled on top of each other hazardously. "They're called Calamity Boxes; my mum gave them to me. They're supposed to be able to take you to other worlds. They supposedly use a different type of magic." As she caught me up with what her mum had told her, a plan was forming at the back of my mind. Usually I'm the responsible one, but Star was so tense recently she needed a break, an adventure; something that would cheer her up. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go through," I say interrupting her speech. 

"WHAT!! Marco, are you sure??? We have no idea of what's out there. This isn't exactly a good time to be heading to an unknown world with me pushing to become an ambassador and everything" "No, it's the best time. Just think about it, if you're about to shoulder a pile of responsibilities, you might as well have some fun first." I look at her; I can see she's slowly warming up to the idea. "If my mum agrees it's a good idea, then I promise you there will be nothing stopping me. But then again this is my mum we are talking about. She's NEVER going to go all for it." Star was proved wrong six minutes later when we walked into Moon, who agreed it was a 'fabulous idea', (her words, not mine) and that we should extend our trip to three whole weeks.
