Chapter 2: more questions than answers


AN: If you thought that last chapter was weird you probably shouldn't read my other stories *attempts to laugh* but no you should probably read them #alwayswatching and if you've read my stories before you probably already know to skip the author's notes on all my stories as they may be off-putting. Any who without further ado I bring you chapter 2


Jackie froze, in that moment Marco pried his arm away only for Star to grab it and place it around her waist mumbling, something about being afraid and wanting to be held. Jackie spoke up, "I-I know that voice..."

"Indeed you do" the voice belonged to a five-foot tall man clad in a pressed pitch black tux with a crimson pocket square shaped into an indented triangle, bulging outwards. His black steel toed boots were shined, and so were his silver gauntlets. His black to hat was a foot tall with a white ribbon an inch from the brim up. His mirror aviators shining in the morning light. His blood red tie standing out against the white collared shirt beneath it, and his Jade sword in the image of a long snake-like dragon hanging from a pitch black belt on his jet black pants. His teeth and wings a brilliant white and his skin almost matching in pallor.

"W-why are you here?"

"I was sent by Star's parents of all people. When they saw me they instantly smelled nobility and sought to make political ties with me. I had explained to them that my method of travelling between worlds was quite different than their ways and that mine could potentially send me either far too early or far too late. So Star... tell me have you received a call from your parents yet?"

"No?"

"Really? They made the call while I was there, in fact, I'm about to great myself."

"Wha-" she never got to finish as she was cut off by the mirror ringing with a call from her mother. Star hesitantly got out of bed walked over to the mirror and pushed the button to answer only to see the man beside them reflected in the mirror yet on his end he couldn't see himself, he spoke exactly the same, though, "hello Star, might I inquire as to the whereabouts of myself? Have I arrived safely? Have I been well treated?"

"Hello me."

"Why hello there How've I been?"

"Well, I arrived three days prior and been left to my own devices for most of this time."

"Ah... well... I shall have to plan accordingly."

"Yes, I shall."

"How shall I speak of their hospitality?"

"Quite well, in my time here I've been left alone as I read, I've not been offered any heinous stereotypical drinks and not once been asked of my vampiric qualities."

"Lovely stuff."

"Hasten my departure starts soon"

"Quite soon."

"Shall I then make my leave?"

"Immediately" the image in the mirror melted into blood and disappeared leaving Marco, Jackie, Star, and her parents shocked and appalled as the sky on Mewni turned red in the reflection of a window as the clouds darkened and spun into a bloody vortex that collapsed in on itself with a tremendous boom that shook the very foundation of the castle. When every last trace of red left the sky queen Butterfly turned to her daughter mirroring her shock before whispering, "Oh God what have I agreed to"

"You agreed to let me play matchmaker on earth until my boredom and disdain lead me back to your castle where I will double your treasury."

"Can I take it back?"

"That's hardly fair when I'm about to pay you"

"What?" He pointed back to the window where a blood red streak strained the sky followed by the loud crash of a meteorite. The queen looked saddened with clear mortification in her eyes as she quickly turned back to the mirror and said, "Star mommy has to attend to some urgent business if I don't call back within five hours take it for a sign that his story is true and accommodate him."

"But mum, I don't want to date him."

"Glossaryck, explain." Star's spell book came out from under her bed on its own and the bed lost half its height. The small yellow-clad blue man came from a random page and explained, "accommodate means to do as he says or make him feel at home. He looks to be about two thousand years old with no interest in children."

"Such a knowledgeable little man I see"

"You may be two thousand but I transcend the laws of time and space"

"I write and rewrite them on a daily basis, it's my job, but right now I'm on vacation, sooo~" he turned to Star and mouths the words, 'you should hang up' and she did.

She didn't realise it but Janna had climbed into her room from the window. As Glossaryck and the man who had yet to introduce himself turned their attention towards her, she began voicing her reasons, "I noticed that you weren't in your bed this morning so I figured you'd be in sleeping with a girl, but I figured it'd be with Star and you'd be on the couch."

"Not now Janna, weird things are happening right now."

"Just Star weird or wake up next to two girls and two guys weird?"

"They weren't in bed with me when I woke up."

"So just the guys then?"

"No! The guys weren't in bed with me when I woke up!"

"So when were they in bed with you?"

"Damn it, Janna!"

"Relax I'm just teasing."

"Yea? We'll I'm still trying to figure out what happened last night."

"So who's the suit?"

"I guess it's the guy who's been stalking Jackie...probably?"

"Oh hey twinsies" she held out her hand for a high five only for him to silently put his hand up to hers and give her a hand hug (he wrapped his thumb around her hand) at first she didn't quite get it but soon enough she mimicked the motion and he spoke, though in a whisper audible to all, "this is going to be fun"


After word: I hope you enjoyed it.
