After many rounds of bowling, Starila, knowing and loving her friend, allowed her to win more games than her, so she bought the drinks at Ol' Crimsons. It was a nice little bar with a karaoke machine on a stage and a more romantic feel. It was a favorite of Star's and her friends, as they had been going there since they were 18. Chris, it's owner, was an old friend of Star's, and knew her parents, so he allowed her and her friends to drink soda there and host game nights, if they paid for some food.

"Please get me a strawberry daiquiri!" Rose called out, waving to the bartender, who nods.

"And you, ma'am?" The bartender asked, eying Star.

"Frozen Bahama Mama please." Star says, going with her usual favorite.

"Coming up."

Star went over to a booth, and slid into the seat, before watching Rose bring over the drinks. Star took hers, and began to eat the slushy like drink. Rose sipped on her drink, before smiling.

"So, tell me, did you see anything last night?" Rose asked, tilting her head with an eyebrow raised. Star let out a groan, before giving her friend an annoyed look.

"Really? This again?"

"Did you?"

"No. I was too busy dealing with a dead battery." Star said, taking another bite of her slushie. Rose's eyes went wide.

"Wait, you had a dead battery? I thought you replaced it."

"Yeah well the neighbors' had swapped my new one for a shit old one. I got it back this morning." Star said, cracking her neck. It was stiff, like always.

"How did you get home?" Rose asked, curious.

"I got saved by this guy. Really good looking. His name was Josef." Star says, the image of the man from the night before. Her cheeks turned a little red.

"A man? That late? What if he was The Medic??" Rose says, in a panicked whisper.

"Him? Then wouldn't I be dead, Rosy? No one who has seen the Medic has lived." Star says, throwing out some valid evidence.

"... Maybe he was full from eating Savannah." Rose whispered, making Starila laugh, louder than she had meant to. A few of the other costumers looked over to the girls, but most ignored them. They were used to the rather powerful laugh of Star's. She drank more of her drink, before looking at her friend again.

"If he had been the one to eat Satannah, he wouldn't have been able to help me. He would have been too busy with a stomach ache!" Starila snorted out, giggling once more. Rose covered her mouth, before laughing as well, agreeing with Star. The girls chatted away, both drinking their drinks and ordering more. After a few hours, Rose was positively destroyed and Star was heading her way.

"I goooootta go pee. You." Rose points at Star. "Stay."

"Make me." Star says, smiling as Rose got out of the booth and walked away, most likely to go find the bathroom. Star got out of the booth as well, and went to the bar. She took a seat, and waved. "Excuse me! Another Bah Ha Ma!"

"Ah, put it on mein bill."

Star turned around in the seat, before smiling. It was Josef, dressed a bit more formal, with a buttoned up shirt with folded up sleeves and tie. He looked her over, an ever so slight smile on his lips.

"Josef The Cute German!" Star called out, making Josef's eyes widened and a slight tint go to his cheeks. "I didn't think we would meet again!"

"I knew I vould zee you again, fraulein." Josef says, his voice with a slight waver. He had been thrown into a loop from her announcement of his 'name'. He hadn't really expected her to remember, let alone call him 'cute'. "May I zit vith you?"

"Yeah! Sure!" Star says, before hopping off. "Come! We got a booth!"

"Ve?" Josef asked, his eyes darkening for a moment. His thoughts raced with the threat of a boyfriend or girlfriend, and more ideas on how to get rid of said boyfriend or girlfriend.

"Yeah! My friend is here too... but she ran off to find the restroom. Please! Grab your drink and sit with me!" Star says, the Bartender handing her her drink as she headed back to her seat. Josef nods, before going up to the bartender.

"Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier, please." Josef says, adjusting his glasses. The bartender looks at him, and tilts his head slightly.

"We don't serve that here..."

"Oh? How about Ayinger Brau-Weisse?" Josef asked, his tone a bit disappointed.

"That we actually do have." He said, going underneath the bar and grabbing a bottle. "So, you know Starila, do you?"

"Jah." Josef nods, glancing at the woman in the booth. She waved to him, after sipping on her drink. "I met 'er ze other night."

"You be kind to her, alright? We wouldn't want trouble now." The bartender said, giving him a stern warning. He hands over the drink, cap opened. "Enjoy."

"...Danke" Josef answered gruffly, before walking over to Star's booth. He slid into the other side, and took a drink. It had been a while since he has had a nice beer... even longer with beautiful company.

"So! How was your day, Josef?" Star asked, smiling rather sweetly at the man. Josef paused, wondering how to answer.

>>>

"Zo! Do you zink I should vare mein coat vith scarf or mein shirt vith tie?" Josef asked, looking at both outfits hanging on the meat hooks. He was in an abandoned factory close by to the town of Star's, one that was once used for slaughtering animals and preparing the meat for processing. The young woman, Jessica, sobbed, not answering. Her body was covered in blood, cuts, wounds, and burns, while she hung from a hook, her wrists tied harshly. Tear stains were on her cheeks, which were cut out.

"Vell?" Josef asked, turning to look at the crying girl. The girl cried louder, making Josef sneer and walk over to her, pulling out his bloodied bonesaw. "You are a terrible help..."

"P-Please... please... let me go... Please... I beg of you...!" Jessica cried, her head hanging low and her tears blinding her.

"Non! You are terrible help, but a gut meal! Vich reminds me..." Josef smiled. "A little snack before going to ze the bar!"

"No! NO! NOOOO!"

>>>

"Boring, until I found you here." Josef replied, causing Star to blush lightly.

"Ah! I see! To be honest, I am glad I ran into you again. I didn't get to chat with you long enough last time." Star said, her voice going a little soft. The man was handsome, and she wasn't the best at conversations when she was drunk. She put down her drink. Perhaps it was time to stop the drinking, so that she could maybe sorta have a good time with the cute German doctor.

"Oh? Did you miss me?" Josef teased, taking a sip of his drink.

"Like a student missing school." Star snorted, giggling at his tone, "So, you wanted to find me again?"

"Jah. I must say, you were brave ze other night. Vith ze Medic on ze loose, most vould run at ze sight of a strange man." Josef says, watching her reaction. She looks at him, chuckling, before giving him a rather flirty look.

"Not if the strange man is as good lookin' as you." Star replied, flashing him a smile. Josef wanted to melt into a puddle with that smile, and with the compliment, he felt like he was on cloud 9.

"I..." Josef's words stuck in his throat. Star froze, before looking away, an embarrassed blush on her face.

"S-Sorry... Was that... too much? Heh... I am known to be a little too much." She responds, worried about scaring the man off.

"Nein!" Josef says, clasping her hands. Star looks at him, her eyes wide and bright. "Du bist nicht zu viel! Ich finde dich schön!"

She blinked, turning more red.

"I have no idea what you said." She said bluntly, before smiling once more, "But I get the feeling you called me pretty."

"Zat I did." Josef confirms, before a loud noise distracted them both.

"STARILA!" Rose called out, running over to the booth. Star leaned towards Josef.

"That's Rose. She's the friend I mentioned." She murmured, before Rose made it over.

"Who is this? Where did he come from? Is he hitting on you? Do I need to get Chris?" Rose slurred out quickly. Star put up a hand, quieting the girl.

"This," Star motioned to Josef, "Is Josef, the man who helped me out last night. He came in through the front door, we are hitting on each other, and no. Chris is not needed."

"How old are you? Don't you think she's a bit young for-" Rose asks, giving him a dirty look.

"ROSE DASSION!" Star yelled, glaring at the drunken girl, "RUDE!"

"Nein, it is alvight." Josef says, before Star shakes her head.

"No, no it isn't. Age doesn't matter to me." Star says, making Josef's heart pound. She was perfect. "Besides, ROSE needs to learn how to use her MANNERS."

"Psh!" Rose made a waving away motion, "Manners are for the weak. Anyway, I'm grabbing a cab home, hun."

"I guess I should too... What time is it?" Star asks, Josef looking at his watch.

"zwölf vierundzwanzig." He replied, making the girls tilt their heads. "12:24."

"Shit." Star groaned, before Josef cleared his throat.

"I could take you home, Miss Starila." He offered.

"She can ride-" Rose tried to speak up, but Star was quick to interject.

"I would like that." Star nodded, slipping out of the booth.

"Star..."

"Hey, if I don't show up for college on Monday, you can call the cops." Star assured her, Rose still looking concerned, but sighing in defeat.

"Fine. I will. Be safe Starry..." Rose says, waving good bye to the Bartender before walking out. Star smiled brightly, and pulled out her wallet. Josef shook his head.

"Nein, Erlaube mir." He says, Star not having the slightest idea what he said, but knowing 'nein' meant no.

"Alright." Star says, before waving good bye to the bartender. "I will wait outside."

At that, Star walked out, and didn't know the trouble she was about to walk into.
