it to Gril! Star gave her big, alien friend a fierce hug before she
left. This world really wasn’t so different from the one she had
known in the circus. Friends came in all different sizes, shapes,
and forms there as well.

Chapter 4
    “Jazin, I have to return to Earth and tell my
parents Jo and I are alright. I was thinking maybe…,” Star said
later that night. She stared into the mirror and shook her head.
“No, I’m not going to tell him I’m thinking maybe,” she sighed in
frustration. “Since when did you ever ask to do something, girl?
You are not growing weak and needy! Walter would turn me over his
knee and spank my ass if I became a wimp,” she growled out to her
reflection.
    “No one is going to turn you over and spank
you but me,” a dark growl came from behind her.
    Star squeaked in surprise. She had been so
busy trying to figure out the best way to approach Jazin about
taking her back to Earth that she didn’t hear him come in. It was
late, well after midnight. It was always late when he came in
lately. Since she had been injured, he insisted on her sharing his
bed. She refused for all the fat lot of good it did her. She went
to bed in her bed and either woke up in his or he was in hers.
    She was just so afraid he was going to turn
out to be like Justin, her first real boyfriend. She felt like she
had been in a cocoon her entire life until she and Jo got their
condo in Orlando. It was kind-of difficult to go on a date or get
serious about anyone when you were in a different city every other
night. Not to mention, she had more surrogate aunts, uncles, and
grandparents than any kid needed as a chaperone. In Orlando, she
and Jo had lived with their parents for the first year after they
gave up the circus. They wanted to make sure it was something them
really wanted to do. She had been so consumed with learning the new
routines and adapting to life outside of the small world of the
circus that she didn’t even think about dating.
    The past year was the first time she felt
comfortable with the idea of going out. She had only gone out on a
couple of dates before she met Justin. He had joined the performing
troupe three months before they were kidnapped. Star had
immediately been smitten with his handsome, blond looks. It took
two more months before he asked her out. She should have known
something was up when he didn’t even give her a second glance until
a Nighttime Entertainment crew came to film her and Jo performing.
The producer of NTE was doing a documentary on the Strauss Family
Flyers to promote a film that Star and Jo had been in. After that,
Justin was all over her. She was glad she had been nervous of
taking their relationship to the next level so soon after he asked
her out.
    She wanted what her parents had, a loving,
long term relationship. She was having second thoughts about
whether she should just go ahead and let Justin make love to her
before he made any commitment to her. After all, the girls in the
performing troupe were always talking about the guys they had
‘done’ the night before. She was reluctant because that wasn’t the
way she had been raised. Thank goodness she had overheard the
conversation between Justin and several of the other cast members
before she made that mistake! She had been on the catwalk above
them, checking the rigging before that night’s performance. The
sound of their voices had drifted upwards and she heard every cruel
word the people she thought were her friends said. She had broken
down and told Jo what happened. That next night, her and Jo
resigned after their performance. They would meet up with River and
let her know they were rejoining the circus. It was where they both
fit in.
    Star took a deep breath and turned to face
Jazin. She refused to back down. He needed to accept her for
herself or their relationship could never go any further. Her eyes
swept over his black hair that was clipped back at the nape. He
towered over her petite five
