Thanks for all of the great reviews and the suggestions they gave me a lot of great ideas I really appreciate them. Please keep them coming. Sorry if this chapter is sort of on the short side.

Note because this is an AU there are a few different things, sort of like them all being older Marco and Star each have their own pairs of dimensional scissors, it just makes it easier.

"Okay. I can do this, no big deal." Marco said confidently as he picked up the pair of scissors that Heckapoo had made for him when he was younger. Marco adjusted his name tag and his polo shirt, he hated the color it made him look stringier then he actually was. But he had to wear it, that was the uniform that they assigned when he took the job.

Well one of the three jobs that he was working, he did the math, if he worked three jobs for a little below minimum wage and pulled a bunch of over time for each one then he would make more cash that way then just one job working full time. It also helped that none of these places were looking for full time employees for some reason. And if he kept it up for twenty years he might be able to afford college for his kids if they didn't go to a hospital for any reason! (Not likely but a guy can dream)

Marco definitely would have preferred working for Sensei, but that wasn't going to happen so he had to make due with these jobs. Two on earth and one in another dimension, and that dimension was.

"Quest Buy." Marco shuddered as he walked through the portal, the girls and the kids were out luckily so they didn't have to see him go through. and he didn't have to make an excuse. He had been juggling the three jobs for the past two and a half weeks making excuses as to why he was ducking away all of the time. Star was convinced that he was working on an enormous present for them, Janna kept teasing him about going off to his second family to treat with his secret children, Heckapoo just wanted to know why he kept on making so many scissor holes, Jackie was being the most suspicious and didn't trust him at all, he could hardly blame her though. He hadn't told any of them that he was working so many jobs and a couple of part time things like mowing lawns.

He walked through the labyrinth of hallways until he arrived at the front register. Applying for a job there had been surprisingly easier then he expected. It had something to do with how he was able to actually navigate this place. None of the other employees seemed to be able to do it. He was also faster then the average sloth monster that worked there.

Marco cracked his knuckles. He was totally ready for this.

Those were his famous last words. He was not ready for this. At all. Everyone had a problem, everything was missing, there was no organization, and most of his coworkers would not show up on time. Or at all. So that normally left Marco trying to do thousand different jobs at once. Which included but was not limited to, stock boy, cashier, babysitter, weapon tester and so on.

Marco tried to sneak away twice for his lunch break. But a customer called him over before he got three feet.

Marco sighed and rubbed his eyes. He heard something slap in front of him and someone snapping their fingers.
"HEY! HEY! I don't have all day." Marco opened his eyes to see a pile of the cheapest weapons that they sold. He looked around for the actual customer, he finally found the skull wearing beaked man when he looked down. The opossum sized bird monster glared at him before jumping back.

"What are you doing here?" Ludo squawked.
"I work here. What's your excuse?"
"I'm a customer here. Now ring me up cashier monkey." Ludo demanded crossing his arms. Marco began to move the beeper over the weapons, like it better or not he did have to take care of the annoying little twerp.
"What do you even need this stuff for?" Marco said holding up a child sized katana.
"Like I would tell you fool!" Ludo responded. Marco glared down at him.
"If you do something to Star or Sol-"
"Who is Sol?" Ludo said confused. Marco sucked in his lips, he probably shouldn't have said that, after all his annoying little adversary probably didn't know about his kids.
"No one. Just pay." Ludo looked at him with a cocked eyebrow.
"Pay?" Marco banged his head on his register from another dimension. He hoped that his pizza route would be easier. He could feel a migraine mixing with fatigue and the general discomfort that he got from being in this place.
"You know? Money?" Marco said spelling it out.

Ludo looked at Marco before reaching into his pocket and flinging some slime into Marco's face. Marco began to spit to get it out, it was weird and green and disgusting. He sneezed, it smelt like snot!

Ludo grabbed as much of the stuff as he could and sprinted for the exit.
"STOP HIM!" Marco shouted to the security guard, he raised a paw but didn't even try to pursue the guy. Marco sneezed again. Just a few more hours and then he would be able to go to his easier job, all he had to deal with there were the exact same problems, but minus the weapons and monsters.


Marco walked through the front door, tossing his disgusting stained apron to the floor, he was sore, tired, in pain and definitely coming down with a cold. He could feel it growing in his sinuses. He walked towards the stairs to his room. All he wanted to do was to lay down and sleep for the next billion years, he didn't even care about food. He needed as much sleep as he could get, after all he was pulling in the double shifts for both jobs tomorrow.

He felt as if his legs were on fire from standing all day.

"But all I'm saying is that separate rooms makes it so that we can decorate them as kinkily as we want!" Marco could hear Janna from down the hall, for some reason they kept on using his bedroom for a meeting place.
"But then we would loose out on the cuddle piles!" Star shouted. Marco wondered if he could just go straight to her room instead and just fall asleep on her bed. No one would probably miss him. He was just so exhausted that he couldn't really deal with anyone right now.

"Yeah but then we would be able to have sex with him one on one." Marco stopped outside of his door once he heard that. Any rational person would. He pushed his ear to the door to listen. If he had to wager a guess he would say that it was Heckapoo, Star, Jackie and Janna in his room talking about something crazy.

Why did he attract crazy? Was it the way he walked or something?

"So? We can do that now." Star said in her typical naive voice.
"Yeah but some of us might not want to have an orgy every single night. And actually want to just sleep." He could tell that was Jackie by the inflections on her voice.
"Speak for yourself dude." AAAAnnnd there was Janna. "I would jump Marco and tie him up for something something if he wasn't out all the time doing drug deals."

"Drug deals? You really think Marco is dumb enough to do drug deals?" Heckapoo said snakily.
"Or buying comic books, I don;t know what that boy gets into."

"We're getting off topic here. Do we all want to just keep on doing what we're doing? Or switch things up? I for one don't really want to have to rotate Marco every single night. I would miss the cuddle sessions." Star said again. Emphasizing her point with a slap of her wand to her palm.
"I think that we should just keep on doing what we're doing, I mean if we want to screw him we could just do it somewhere else." Janna said simply.
"I really can't believe that we're having this actual conversation." Jackie said in annoyance. Marco pushed his ear closer to the door to try and hear what they were saying better.

The door creaked beneath his weight and actually began to ease open. That was when Marco realized that it wasn't completely closed and that was how he was able to actually hear everything that they had been saying.

"Marco?" Jackie said in surprise before the door was pulled open, she looked at him in surprise. His room had a few bags scattered around the room, clearly they had gone shopping. He wondered where they had gotten the cash for it all. It looked like they had a lot of stuff.

"Were you eavesdropping?"

The girls were scattered around his room. Heckapoo was wearing a new dress and had a small plate of assorted cheeses. Star had been squatting on top of his dresser, he worried about whether or not she would be able to get down safely. She was also eating a bag of shredded coconut. Janna had been laying across his bed with a book on witches open on her chest. She must have put it down when they started talking.

Marco felt another shock go through him from his toes all the way up to his ears. He let out a nervous chuckle that turned into a cough.

"Jeez Marco you look terrible." Janna said as she got off of his bed.
"Thanks I feel terrible too." He said as he walked over to his bed, not even bothering to take off of his work shoes or pants and collapsed face first onto the bed where he had a coughing fit. He reached for his nightstand drawer and pulled out a roll of tissues to blow some snot in.
"Ugh. I feel gross." Marco said attempting to roll over. Star jumped onto the bed and felt his forehead before pulling her hand away and shaking it.

"SHHEESSH! You are burning up! Marco!" Star said in concern. "IS this a normal human thing? Or is it weird?"
"It's weird, definitely weird." Janna said nodding her head up and down. "He's probably going to die."

"WWWHHHHAAAATTTTT!" STar shouted terrified and grabbed Marco by the head and pulled him close to her chest. "NO! I need him!"
"Star calm down, he's just sick." Jackie said as she moved and felt Marco's forehead she tutted. "Yeah your sick. Don't worry." She leaned close to his ear and whispered.
"We'll take care of you." Marco shuddered half from desire and half from the sickness.
