Under World
Chapter 20: A Distorted Star
Tom walked out of the closet wearing his usual attire, he was anxious to see this "Bounce Lounge" Star had been talking about for years now but he was just happy to hang out with star and have fun. He sat down awaiting for star to give the call to meet up but as soon he sat down a portal opened and star jumped out wearing blue dress and her hair in a bun. Tom stared in aw as she fixed her self up.
"Alright Tom LETS GOOOOOO!" Star yelled pulling tom through the portal before he could even say hi. He fell on the ground and noticed music blasting in the air and people dancing in the distance. He got up and saw star talking to Kelly and Pony Head. He walked over and heard they were talking about where they should head to first, but he noticed star had been quiet when it came to this decision.
"So this is the famous Bounce Lounge I've been hearing about?" Tom said rubbing his head.
"Well the original one closed down but this one was built by us partiers" Pony Head said. They all headed to the bar like building were they served sodas and juice instead of the typical alcohols they would sell in other bar looking places. Tom looked at the dance floor and noticed the floor changing colors in a rapid pace, he noticed only a couple of colors like blue, green and red but also noticed some other ones to he wasn't familiar with. Kelly and Pony Head went to the photo booth to flirt with some boys they'd been eyeing all night while star ordered their drinks. Tom walked over to star to try to strike up some conversation.
"Hey star i-"
"I got you a soda tom" Tom looked at her while she stared forward and drank her juice, he sat down and drank his soda trying to look at whatever she was looking at.
"Soo how are you" Tom asked
"Good" Star answered bluntly. Tom looked at star again and saw she continued to look forward.
"You sure cause you don't look all to well" Star glared at tom.
"Well on the count of losing my father, my best friend probably hating my guts and my home pretty much in turmoil from what Eclipsa did...No everything isn't ok" Tom was taken back and could only stare at her.
"Yeah...I'm sorry about your Dad...i know you and him were close" Star looked away.
"Look star why did you invite me if you didn't want to talk to me" Star looked at her wand then at him.
"How is he...Marco" Tom felt a flame ignite in his chest
"Is that the reason you wanted me to come here so i could tell you how that human is doing!" star slammed her fist on the table.
"That 'human' is twice the man you'll EVER BE!" Tom got up and walked to the exit. He pulled out his scissors and opened a portal back home.
"Tom!" He stopped and looked behind him seeing star walking towards him
"I'm leaving!" He walked to the portal
"TOM!" He stopped in his tracks and could hear sniffing and sobs despite the loud music blasting around them. Tom turned around and star filled with tears.
"I need...to know...his he ok?" Star said glaring at Tom. He looked down and clenched his fists.
"No...he's not" He entered the portal leaving star. Star looked as tom left, she felt anger and sadness take over and left after for tom not accepting that as an answer. Tom entered his room and dialed up Marco who at the time was on his own adventure. Tom didn't get an answer and put his phone down and decided to play some video games until he felt sleepy. He was angry at himself but also Marco. He always thought that if star hadn't been sent to earth him and star could've gotten back together but he ultimately ignored that fantasy. Star walked into his room and saw tom sitting on his bean chair.
"What do you want!?" Star clenched her fists
"I need a better answer than that" Tom looked at her and sighed
"Its not my place to say if he is or not if i don't even know my self star...you need to give him space for now" Star leaned her back on the wall feeling defeated.
"I..i want to talk to him...so...bad but I'm afraid he'll just reject me" Tom felt bad for her even how mad he felt at the moment
"Star...give him time...he'll come around eventually"
"And if he doesn't!?" Tom got up and opened a portal for star back to Mewni
"Than you know who to blame" Star knew what he was doing, not wanting to be there she walked into the portal not looking at tom. After she left he returned to his original plans until it was time to call Marco.
Star walked to her room and plopped down and realized how quiet it was without her father. She felt tears well up and she wiped them and decided to use the all seeing eye spell despite her moms wishes not to use it. She held her wand in the air
"I SUMMON THE ALL SEEING AN EYE TO TEAR A HOLE INTO THE SKY"
"REVEAL TO ME THAT WHICH IS HIDDEN"
"UNVEIL TO ME WHAT IS FORBIDDEN!" The eye formed in the sky and it showed Marco in a dimension star wasn't familiar with. She saw him walking through a purple forest with his scissors formed as a sword. She noticed his posture...his eyes...his face. He didn't look like the boy she felt in love with before...he looked like he was on a mission...what that is was a mystery to star. She wanted to tear a portal to him and spill out everything she was feeling everything she wanted to do and fix...but in the back of her mind she knew he wouldn't want to see her right now...maybe even ever. She closed her eyes and the eye disappeared in the sky and she fell back down on the bed...conflicted with what she wants...and what she needs...a friend...or Marco.
Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed ;)
I'm happy to announce a project I've been working with my friend these past couple of days. It is a story set in a franchise I'm not familiar with at all but since my friend is and the characters we created were to hard not to write a story about (since we already had a story for them) I'm writing a story based in the My little pony universe called "Split Fates" but wont feature any of the main characters and will focus on the characters me and my friend created. Candy Floss(she made up) and Dromeda(i made up) I'm still working on it and odds are it wont be released for a couple days but when it does please show it some support. She made the cover for it and to me is a very talented artist. She even has her own deviant art page if your interested in art and stuff on my profile page since it wont allow me to link it here
I'm very excited for this story and i hope you all enjoy it when it does release. Now how will this affect my other projects like the next installment of the Hero Gone Rogue story and the Red Suns prequel story(both which I'm also working on from time to time) Well i plan to finish Split Fates before i release the 3rd story and the Red Suns prequel so that i have time for each story which also means I'm going to delay The 3rd story and the Red Suns prequel until around Late January or mid February for the 3rd story than around spring for the Red Sun story after that i plan to take a break as around that time that's when i have finals for school but I will return afterwards to do what? time will tell
Till next time SECTION 30 OUT!
