"Er, wha..?" Star said sleepily. She blinked open her eyes, the bright sunrise almost blinded her. She looked to her side and noticed that crystal was hugging her silky tail, probably in fear from another dream. Star sighed sympathetically. She sat up and patted his muzzle to wake him. Crystal woke up quickly and shot up hissing. He looked around and looked severely confused. He stared at star, then sighed with relief.
   "I'm ok... it was just another dream," he said, looking at his paws. Star slowly padded over to crystal and put one white paw over his.
   "Its ok," she said as be looked up at her. Crystal nodded, but be looked slightly to the left like he was disapproving of himself. He was real upset that he made everyone worry so much, and star saw that. Crystal quickly shuffled his paws, making stars paws slip away from his own. Star sighed and smiled. "It really is ok, it's not you fault, it's ra-" she cut herself off, "well anyway, it really is fine, and you will not fight this battle alone, no matter what, you, me, and snowflake over there, will help you out,"
   Crystal smiled warmly, and replied, "thanks, you are a huge help to me, and I will never let you go alone if you need me," he blushed and looked away, not wanting star to see his strawberry colored cheeks. Snowflake must have woken up somewhere between all that because he looked at Crystal from the corner of his eye and raised his eyebrows, smiling brightly. Crystal shook his head and gave Snowflake a secret  glare. They then heard a ear splitting scream from somewhere in the forest.
