"You know Bill, I never would've expected this."
This is a story about a girl, a strange one in fact, named Star Cipher. She was different and no one accepted her for who she was. Her parents had a different past and Star was judged for it. Her father, Bill Cipher, had almost taken over Gravity Falls but was stopped by Dipper and Mabel. Then the most weirdest thing happened; Bill and Mabel fell in love with each other. When Bill had taken human for to ask for Mabel's hand in marriage, it was the hardest decision for her family to make. It took a while for everyone to decide but they agreed. Bill and Mabel were married three months later, then a year and a half later Star was born. She had many traits like her father like her blonde hair and two, not one, blue eyes. But there was one trait no one imagined she would have. She ended up being half-demon and that is the other reason she is not accepted. She has been drowning in depression and sadness. But one day at school;
" Hey freak! Why don't you beat it, before you take over Gravity Falls too!" Marcus Griffin teased as he shoved Star around. Star was on the breach of tears when:
" Yo Mark why don't you back to your stuffed animals. I wonder if they still love you while you're treating people like this." Brooks "Junior" Parker mocked. Marcus's face went red with anger but stormed away with frustration.
"Hey you alright?" Brooks asked.
"Yes I'm fine, but why did you stick up for me Brooks? I'm not important." Star asked. He helped her up and dusted her off.
"Because you and I may have a little bit in common. Also call me Junior please." Junior said as a little star shinned on the tip of his finger.
"You- You're-" Star sputtered.
"Magic? Yeah, but really in my opinion being half-demon is awesome!" Junior exclaimed.
"Uh... Here if you want." Star said as she shoved a little slip of paper into his hand.
The rest of the day Star was very giddy. She had made a friend, the impossible had be made possible, and everything seemed clearer now. When it was time to leave, Star ran up to her father with glee.
"Now what's got you all jumpy?" Bill asked messing up her hair.
"You wouldn't believe it dad! I made a friend! He's smart, funny, and magic like me!" Star exclaimed as they walked home.
"Did your new "friend" give you this?" Bill asked as he observed a gargantuan bruise on her shoulder.
"No... but he did try to prevent any more injuries on me." Star perked up.
"You said this boy was magic?" Bill asked suspiciously.
"Yes and he's amazing at it." Star said.
"Well we all can discuss this at dinner. We're home." Bill said as he lead Star up the stairs.
Star was very excited to tell her mother everything. When Star was finished Mabel looked at Bill with concern. When he finally got the message he stood up and said:
"Star please go up to your room. Your mother and I have some things to talk about."
"Yes father." Star replied as she skipped upstairs.
"Bill this new "friend" of Star's worries me. He could be planning to drain her power, or her life force, or just..." Mabel said as she shuddered at the thought.
"Mabel don't worry yourself. I'll keep a close eye on her and this new "friend" too." Bill laughed as he pointed at his eye patch.
Bill slowly pressed his lips softly against Mabel's just to calm her down.
"Thanks." Mabel whispered.
"You're welcome now let's go to sleep so I can see this new "friend" of Star's." Bill said.
Over time Bill had watched Junior closely. He just thought something was wrong with him. Over nights Bill had tried to make theories but nothing added up.
"Maybe he's just a boy with magic... Like how Star is half-demon." Bill said as he paced around.
"Bill stop this. You haven't slept for days. This boy isn't You with more power." Mabel said.
"But what if he can match my power and if he's more powerful than me or Star, then... then..." Bill started. They he burst into sobs knowing that this boy could be more powerful and if he is then Star would be gone.
"If I- I lose Star, it'll be like losing you." Bill sputtered.
"Bill it's going to be okay. Nothing will happen." Mabel promised as she kissed Bill on the cheek.
"Yeah I guess you're right." Bill said as he turned out the light.
