Starfall

Chapter 1: Hold

Author's Notes: Comments and criticisms are welcome and appreciated.

Writing for this fanfiction story based on Star vs the Forces of Evil was started during the May/June 2015 hiatus, between the initial broadcast of "Brittney's Party" (Ep 10) and "Mewberty" (Ep 11). 

Star vs the Forces of Evil is the intellectual property of Disney and Daron Nefcy. I own no part of it. I'll bring it back gassed up and try not to get any dings on it.

Chapter 1: Hold

==================================

"He says that your family has been housing a girl as an exchange student. Is that true?"

"No. I mean, we used to house exchange students. There have been several, in fact. But right now? No. We haven't had an exchange student live with us for about four years."

"He described the exchange student as a girl about his age. Blonde. Very energetic personality. Unique style of dress. Does that sound like any of your previous wards?"

"No. The only other blonde girl was about six years ago. But other than her hair color, not how you describe. She was very conservative, really."

"Did they have a relationship?"

"A romantic relationship? They were only twelve."

"Still, did you see anything that would make you think that? Any signs of attraction? Unrequited feelings? Returned affections? Sometimes these things can bring up repressed feelings."

"I suppose that there may have been some feelings. A crush. But it never went beyond that."

"The reason I'm asking is because your son claims that he and the exchange student who was supposedly living with you the last few years were in a romantic relationship. Did he have any such feelings for someone more recently?"

"No. He used to have a crush on a girl at school, but that was a while ago."

"How long ago?"

"I guess over... three years?"

"Nothing since then?"

"I don't think so. He just seemed like he lost interest in chasing girls."

"Did she fit the description? Blonde, energetic, unique?"

"I'm not sure. Was Jackie a blonde, dear?"

"I'm not sure either. She had streaks of colors in her hair, though."

"Hmm. He claims the fictional girl and he have been in a relationship for the last two years. I'm just trying to find out if they are related."

"I don't think he's ever had a girlfriend. He even went to his senior prom alone."

"Is your son socially awkward?"

"I don't think so. He has friends. Do you think this has something to do with someone from school?"

"We don't know... These next questions are hard to ask, but we think they're important. Does your son use any drugs?"

"What?! No! He would never!"

"I know that might be upsetting to think about. But parents are often the last to know. Please think carefully."

"No. We're positive."

"Alcohol use?"

"There was a party a few days ago. There may have been alcohol there. He came home with a tattoo. He said he couldn't remember getting it."
