Before starting the chapter, a reply to guest reviewer: shootingstar418:

I'm not so sure if I'm gonna use your suggestion in the next chapter, as I don't know how Rose Quartz will communicate with Steven.

Also, the Gems will probably regret their decision later on. They know that. They just did this to Steven because they would be hostile to people they don't know or understand.

Anyway, onto the chapter.


It took a few hours to get back, but as soon as Ludo, Peridot and the army were sent back to Ludo's dimension by the substance, they were slammed into a wall inside Ludo's throne room in the castle, and the substance disappeared.

"Whew! Finally, I thought I would never stop cutting." said Ludo.

"Wait! Look at this, Play-doh…" said Peridot.

"Oh…my…gosh, how do you keep forgetting my name?! It's Ludo!"

"Poncho?"

"LUDO!"

"Duke of Weselton? King Candy? Alistair Krei?"

"Those names don't even make it close to my real name! Forget it!"

"If you say so, Ludo." says Peridot. Ludo facepalms himself. "Anyway, I was saying that the portals aren't closing."

Ludo looks, and notices that all the portals that they opened aren't closing.

"My Dimensional Scissors must've been broken."

"How do we close them?"

"As far to my knowledge, the only way to close it would be Dimensional Needles and Dimensional Thread, but I don't know anyone who owns those."

"That's not the worst part, Ludo! Other people are coming out of the portals!"

Ludo, Peridot and the army look to see 2 cartoon characters coming out to their castle. One appeared to be a Chihuahua and the other appeared to be a red cat.

"HEY REN! Will we eat dinner here tonight?" asks the red cat.

"STIMPY, YOU EEDIOT! THIS ISN'T OUR HOME!" says Ren, who is the Chihuahua.

"Gee, I wonder how we got here." Stimpy wonders. "And who are those freaks?"

"HEY! WHO ARE YOU CALLING FREAKS?!" Ludo cries.

"Ah, whatever. Oh look, our home is over there." Stimpy says, pointing to the portal that led to the Mystery Shack in Gravity Falls.

"EEDIOT! OUR HOME IS RIGHT OVER THERE!" Ren points to a portal leading to their home.

"Oh, okay. After dinner, you should help me try out my Happy Helmet 2.0." said Stimpy. Both of them then walked back to their home.

"This is going to get a little weird." said Ludo.

"Uh-huh. I think it will be very weird." said Peridot.

"Hey, how did I get here?" said a voice.

Ludo and Peridot turned around and saw a floating triangle.

"The portals. They're not closing, so now random people are just starting to explore other worlds! But we'll focus on that later. What Peridot and I need to do…is to destroy those 2 kids."

"Maybe I can help you." said the triangle.

"I don't think you can help. We just met, and I don't trust creepy creatures like you."

"Birdbrain, I'm omniscient! I can help you."

"To prove it, who are the kids Peridot and I want to destroy?"

"Their names are Steven Quartz Universe and Princess Star Butterfly, but I like to call those kids Shorty and Teenage Peach, or just about any nickname I can think of."

"I'm not convinced. I need more proof you know everything."

"Well, I can remember the events that happened today. You were sent back here by a strange substance."

"Still not convinced."

"I know what you do in the shower. You sing "Space Unicorn" in a high-pitched voice while you're soaping yourself."

The robots and monsters laugh at Ludo, and Peridot does a small chuckle. Ludo turns red in embarrassment.

"NO! IT'S SIMPLY NOT TRUE!" Ludo tries to deny it, but the monsters laugh even more. "Alright, fine! I do sing that song in the shower. You can help us, Mr. Triangle." Ludo shakes hands with the triangle.

"Thank you. Also, my name is Bill Cipher, not Mr. Triangle."

"So, do you have a plan?" asks Peridot.

Bill thinks for a moment, trying to figure out what they can do to Steven and Star. Then he answers:

"I have a plan. It's going to take two weeks, but it's going to be effective."


What did you think of this chapter? I'll see you all in the next one.
