Marco's POV

We were taking Star camping today. I took everything we needed. Bug Repellent, Raccoon Repellent, Bear Repellent, and so much more. I wanted Star to have fun, but be safe. As I gathered all of my repellents, Star knocked on the door. "Hey Marco! Almost done packing?! I'm so excited!" She said as she jumped up and down. She's so cute... "Star, have you packed yet?" I asked. "No. What am I supposed to pack? " she asked. I rolled my eyes, and thought for a bit. She's probably gonna be bored in the car. "Bring stuff to do in the car, a sleeping bag, and your phone....and maybe some extra clothes....a-and the sport shoes mom got you..." she nodded, and skipped to her room.

Star's POV

As I finished packing, I left to the car. I put my backpack down, and I got my phone. Marco introduced me to the musical world, and brought my earbuds to play my playlist. I press shuffle. A couple songs from Hamilton and Wicked play, and I drift asleep. TheN Marco wakes me up, and I hear my favorite, Dear Evan Hansen, play.

I learned to slam on a brake...

Before I even turn the key...

Before I make the mistake...

Before I lead with the worst of me..

I look out the window, and I see beautiful trees.. "Just an hour away kids!" Mrs. Diaz says cheerfully. I nodded, and looked at Marco. "What?" He said. I got closer to him, put my lips against his ear, and whispered,"What are we gonna do? Like, just sit? I'm so confused!" and I sat back down. I looked at him, and he was red. Why? I don't know. "Uh, W-We we're gonna go h-hiking....a-and uh..." and I nodded. "Ok! Thanks!" I said with a big smile.

As we continued to walk down the trail, I noticed a bear coming, and growling at us. I think he wanted a snack. Then, we all screamed. I whispered,"You guys... Just stay perfectly sti-" and Star RAN AT IT! Suddenly, she started blasting Narwhal Blasts at it, and it slows down to attack her. I move, and pull her. "C-Cmon Star. L-Let's go..." and she pushes me away. "Star, let's go! You're going to hurt yourself!" She shook her head. "STAR!" but I was to late. The bear had swiped at her, and she fell to the ground. She landed on her arm, and we all heard a crack. "Ah! My arm!" She screamed. Suddenly, I grabbed Star, and gestured to my parents to run. We ran to our spot, with the bear at our feet. Suddenly, Star tapped on me. "I can blast him to the cliff..." and I looked. I sighed. I nodded, and she blasted the bear, making it fall. We were at our spot. I put Star down, and Mom and Dad gave us hugs. After they released, Star held her arm. "How's your arm?" I asked her. She winced. "It still hurts a lot. I think I broke it." I nodded. "I brought some bandages. Can that hold you over?" I asked. She nodded. We knew about the bone healing spell, but we didn't want to take any chances. We went into the tent, and I grabbed my first-aid kit. I got out a bandage, and teared out part of it. I started wrapping up her arm. It was silent. After a while, Star said,"Marco, I could've handled the bear earlier. Why didn't you let me?" she said. I sighed, still wrapping it. "It was to dangerous. Your lucky you're alive right now. If you would've attacked it anymore it would've killed you.." she growled. "No, I can handle a bear. We've fought monsters Marco, why was that any different?!" she yelled. "B-Because those monsters...they're not as deadly as the bear. You know that." She rolled her eyes. "Then that's just another reason that I could beat him! Marco, I'm stronger then you think..." I looked at her, and stopped wrapping. "I know you're strong, but you don't understand. That bear didn't have the instincts of the monsters Star! All it does is attack for food! You could've gotten hurt, and I couldn't let that happen!" I scream. "Marco, instincts has nothing to do with it. You just don't believe in me..." she said. I clenched my fists... "Gosh Darn It Star.....I DIDNT WANT TO LOSE YOU! YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO ME AND I......I..." I started to cry. "The thought of you gone just...." Star looked at me. "Marco, I'm alive....was it really a big deal? It was just a bear anyways..." then, she mumbled,"Why do you care?" and I gave her an angered look. "STAR! I CARE BECAUSE I LO-....." I paused. I finished wrapping her arm, and I sighed. "Okay, I finished wrapping your arm. Get some rest." I said. She looked upset at me. "So that's it. We're just leaving the problem alone?!" She asked. "Star, we're done talking about it okay?!" I said. "No, this matters to me! You think I'm just weak, and you want to leave it alone?! You're just in denial, and you're lying. Stop. We have to talk about it!" I shook my head. "You won't get it. I- I.." she went close to me. "You what?! Say it! I want to know! We chant keep secrets Marco.." she held my hand. "We're besties..." she was toying with my emotions. "It's okay Marco...But it's important... Don't act like it's not a problem.. Say what you want to say! Okay! IF YOU HATE ME, TELL ME! Just tell me now. Otherwise, if we leave it, it'll turn into a huge problem with our friendship later.. You don't want that...Right?" I growled, "You know what Star? Just leave it, okay? I don't care anymore!" and she gasped. "Jerk." She said, and she left. Shoot. I made a mess. I was zoning out. I hurt her. I put my hands on my face and groaned. I went out, and saw sitting by the fire. I tapped on her shoulder. "I'm sorry.." she looked at me with tears in her eyes. "No you're not. You said it yourself, YOU DONT CARE!" and she angrily walked off to her tent.. I sat down, and sighed. Crap, what did I do?!

Star woke up really late. I saw her as she woke up. "Morning Star! How's your arm?!" I asked with enthusiasm. She scoffed and sat down. I sighed. I looked at my parents and mouthed,"Help me." and they nodded. "So! Kids! What do you want to do today?!" I looked at Star, gave her a smile, and said,"Any ideas?" She rolled her eyes, and turned away. I sighed. "W-We could maybe go see the other animals you told me about." She said. I smiled. At least she's talking to me. We started to walk down, when suddenly we saw a meerkat. "Looks cool huh Star?!" and she nodded. I sighed

We got back tired. Star was about to go to bed, but I had to fix this. "Star? Can we talk for a sec? Please?" She looked at me and nodded. "I...I wanted to say I'm sorry. You were right..." she said. I was shocked. "Was that it?! That's what you were gonna say right? You want it to just be over, but this is something different. You can't just-"

Star's POV

"You can't just-" but he caught me off by yelling,"I COULDNT LET YOU BEAT THE BEAR BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!" I was shocked. He loves me? He put his face in his hands and started to cry. "I'm sorry that it seemed like I didn't believe in you.....I really do, trust me! But, the thought of you gone was just..." I gave him a hug. I felt his breath on my neck, and his tears down my back. "I'm sorry to Marco.. I should've listened to you..." and he hugged back. "J-Just don't do it again okay?" he said. I still couldn't process what he said. I love you.... He broke our hug and we looked at each other. He smiled. I blushed. Why am I blushing?! I don't know! Then, out of nowhere, he grabbed my face, pulled me close and put his forehead on mine. "Star, you're awesome..."'and I kept blushing. I had to ask him. "What did you mean when you said you loved me?" I asked. He sighed. As he sighed, his breath fell on my mouth, and I felt tense. "I meant that you make me feel happy. You pick me up when I am down.[oh oh oh] and you're an awesome person!" I smiled. "I also kinda...have a crush on you.." and he looked back. I didn't hear the last part because he mumbled it. "I didn't hear the last part what' d you say?" Suddenly, out of nowhere, he kissed me. I was caught by surprise, but I kissed him back. We continued kissing, and he pulled me close. "I said I have a crush on you." and kissed me again. I returned it, and deepened it. Then, we heard Mr. and Mrs. Diaz coming so we stopped, blushing endlessly. "So kids, having fun?" and we looked at each other and laughed. Mr. Diaz cheered,"Yay! They made up!" and the Diazes hugged. They pulled us into a hug too, and we blushed at each other. Then, Mrs. Diaz "accidentally" pushed Marco, and made us kiss again. Marco held my face, and we held each other, knowing that Mr. And Mrs. Diaz would be shocked. We smiled, and broke the kiss. We looked down and blushed.

"Night Marco!" I said, and he waved. "Star, wait." and he got close to me. He gave me a look that made me blush. "Why did you kiss me?" he said jokingly. I scoffed, put my hand on my waist, but was covered by Marco's hand, so I was touching his hand, and said,"Excuse me, you're the one who kissed me! Idiot!" and he laughed. I pushed his face, and giggled. Then, he kissed me again. He pulled me close, and deepened the kiss. I suddenly put my hands over his neck, and smiled during the kiss. He did too. We put our foreheads together with big smiles on our faces. "You're an idiot.." I said. "I know.." he replied. We kissed again. "But you're my idiot..." and I kissed him. He kissed me back, and smiled.

"Good Night Star..." and we went to bed.
