And here we are with another deleted scene! *Confetti flies everywhere*

This short deleted scene is from Chapter Ten of A Star Among Darkness. I actually really liked this scene and would have loved to put it in the actual story, but after reading it over, I realized it just didn't fit and it felt like it rushed things. So, I changed it, but kept the original to put it in the Outtakes story right here!

Now, onto the reviews!

Littlechainsaw23: Yep! I'm alive! You can't get rid of me that easily! And I'm glad that you trusted in me enough to know I would come back. And here I am! I'm happy you like my idea of posting my outtakes for people to see. The whole entire point of doing it is to give people a glimpse of how A Star Among Darkness could have been different. I'm so happy you like it!

SweetieYammy: I'm excited that you're happy to see more!

Guest: I am definitely going to keep on writing A Star Among Darkness, don't you worry! And I'm so happy that you enjoy my story so much. I'm also glad that you found the outtake funny. I did too!

MarionetteJ2X: Ah, yes. If Bill knew, it would make everything so much easier for him. Ha ha! Yep, I'm going to continue writing A Star Among Darkness no matter how long it takes! And I'm glad that you're glad to see it continue and are excited for more MaBill chapters. I'm excited to write them! Also, oh my gosh. THAT'S AWESOME! You have no idea how happy that makes me! Thank you SO much! I'm really excited to see them!

Thank you so much to everyone who reviewed! Your reviews always brighten my day!

This outtake takes place right after Bill and Mabel teleport to the Ever Changing Realm. Like with the last outtake, this one has the same beginning (and middle) as the actual chapter. I leave a lot of the original in just so, in case someone hasn't read the actual chapter for a while, people can understand what's going on. Also like last time, the only thing I'm fixing in here is the spelling and grammar, so if anything seems a bit rushed or out of character, that's why (it's an outtake for a reason, ha ha).

Now enough of me babbling! Let's get on with the story. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this outtake!

As soon as Bill let her, she snatched her wrist from his hold. Then the teen seemed to realize what Bill had said and put her hands on her hips and smiled (the first one Bill had seen this morning) proudly. "Huh. I guess I did! Beat that teleportation!" she shouted, pointing a figure towards the sky.

Bill sighed. "Please keep your antics for after we get the Shadow Shard, Shooting Star. The more off track we get, the more time we waste."

She frowned, but knew he was right, and returned to her more serious mindset. Finally taking a look at their surrounding area, she asked, "So. Where are we…?" The words fled her mouth as her jaw dropped.

They were surrounded by islands, and not just any type of islands, floating islands. Little pieces of land with different biomes were scattered all across the endless blue sky. There were tiny desert islands, jungle islands, even one that looked like only water! The island the two were currently standing on was a field with many flowers spread about.

"Wow…" Mabel whispered in awe. "It's beautiful."

"I don't see it," Bill sighed, clearly disinterested. A watch flashing onto his wrist, he took a glance at it before flashing it away again. "We have nine minutes and eighteen seconds counting until we teleport again."

The teen's face contorted into confusion. "What do you mean teleport again?"

"The Realm we are currently in is the Ever Changing Realm. Every ten minutes, the Realm transports us to a new location inside itself. This is one of the many thousands in here."

"And we need to search through all of them to find the Shard?" That didn't sound very appealing to the girl.

"Well," Bill drawled. "Yes and no. I already know which Realm the Shard is in, we just need to wait to be transported there. Sadly, my own teleportation powers don't work in here, so it's a hurry up and wait sort of situation."

Mabel nodded in understanding, then moved away, plopping herself on the ground. "Well, since we have some time to kill, might as well enjoy the view." Her eyes landed on the beautiful scenery in front of her and stayed there.

However, Bill's own eye couldn't leave the human near him. He didn't like to admit it, but she perplexed him somewhat. Most people couldn't stand to even be on the same planet as him, and here she was, sitting calmly near him for the third time. But even though she seemed relaxed…

She's still disturbed about last night's events, Bill once again realized. She may have been paying attention to the scenery, but there was a faraway look in her eyes. She didn't look like…herself.

It was annoying him. And the fact that this was annoying him was annoying him even more.

Unconsciously moving, Bill plucked one of the many flowers from the ground, a dodecatheon meadia, he believed. Turning to Mabel, he bowed slightly at the waist and held the flower out to her, a smug smile on his face. "A flower for the lovely lady?" he asked in the most sickly-sweet voice he could manage.

Instead of glaring daggers at him or repulsing the flower like he thought she would, Mabel chuckled, grabbed the dodecatheon, and looked both at it and the Dream Demon (who was quite shocked she accepted the 'gift' in the first place) strangely. "Since when are you a gentleman?" she questioned, a slight smirk showing itself on her face.

Bill's heart leapt and he couldn't help but straighten up and smirk in reply, adjusting his bow tie. "I never said I wasn't."

"But you never proved you were."

Snorting in amusement, the Dream Demon was helpless against the rush of excitement that swelled through his body. It had been awhile since he had witty banter with anyone, and he couldn't deny that it wasn't an unpleasant feeling. "Touché, Shooting Star. Touché."

And that's it! It's short, I know, but I think it's short and sweet! I personally love it.

Thank you so much for reading! If you enjoy my outtakes, please leave a review, a follow, and/or a favorite. Those always make my day! And if you have any constructive criticism or ways you think I could improve my writing, please let me know! I love learning new ways to improve my work.

Thanks again for reading! I'll see you all in the next outtake! Until then…

Peace! GamerFan369
