A/N: Sorry for those who didn't like the last chapter, I meant to get this sooner, but I was on a roll with Titania Falls... I hope you enjoy the story!
Chapter 11: Un-Fair Folk
It was just a normal day for the Journal Searching Team.
"Get down!" called out Ursa.
Meaning something attacked the group and the team consisting of two normal girls, a girl how turns into a Kitsune, a girl who turns into a unicorn and a boy who turns dryad fighting against whatever threat they faced.
"Is there a weakness in your book?" asked Kitsu.
"Not this time." Said Ursa.
The thing began to attack them.
The monster began to toss rocks at them.
Ursa used her plan abilities to toss back the rocks.
That was when May Belle jumped behind the thing and kicked it in the head.
Something was watching the fight with interest however.
"All right! Score one for May Belle!" cheered May Belle.
That was when Ursa got an idea.
"Hey Grenda!" said Ursa.
"You're finally going to do that idea?" asked Grenda.
"What?" asked Ursa.
"I came up with it days ago, but I keep forgetting to tell you. "said Grenda.
"I don't know… maybe it's the same one." Said Ursa.
That was when a large branch came out of the ground, Grenda broke it off.
"Same idea!" said Grenda.
She ran over to the monster and began to bash it.
And soon enoguh the monster was injured turned tail and ran away.
"All right!" said Grenda high fiving Ursa.
"That was a great idea." Said Candy.
Can't believe it took you this long to figure it out though." Said Kitsu.
"Yeah." Said Ursa.
"So still nothing?" asked May Belle.
"Still nothing." Confirmed Ursa.
Candy crossed off the area on the map.
Ursa went through the backpack.
"Uh-oh." Said Ursa.
"What?" asked Kitsu.
"Mabel…" said Ursa face palming.
"Was I the one in charge today?" asked May Belle.
"Forgot the hot water?" asked Candy.
"Sorry…" said May Belle.
Ursa sighed.
"I guess we just have to go back to the Shack." Sighed Ursa.
"Usual time tomorrow?" asked Grenda.
"Yeah." Sighed Ursa.
She jumped onto May Belle's back. May Belle reared up and then began galloping away.
The thing watching watched as Ursa rode away on May Belle.
"Hmmm… there's something about that Dryad." It mused to itself.
Meanwhile with Ursa and May Belle, Ursa tried to hold onto May Belle's back.
"Can you slow down!" said Ursa.
"What you can hold on… I mean you're the one who…" said May Belle however she noticed that Ursa ended up loosing her grip and flew away, "Uh-oh…"
With Ursa thanks to May Belle's speed she was sent flying, however before she could use her powers to catch herself someone caught her.
"Think you." Said Ursa.
She looked at the person who appeared to be a boy around 15, his hair was golden and seemed to shimmer in the light, he wore white clothes. He had pointed ears.
However there was just something off about him, and Ursa couldn't put her finger on it.
He put Ursa down.
"There you go little sapling." Said the boy.
"Thanks." Said Ursa.
"I was watching you today." Said the boy.
"What?" asked Ursa.
"Well I only saw you after you started fighting that monster." Said the boy, "I don't understand why you would fight along side humans, I do under stand a Kitsune but I'm truly shocked by the unicorn…"
"What?" said Ursa.
The boy put her down.
"No I like it… I have never seen a Dryad such as yourself." Said the boy.
"Uh yeah.." said Ursa.
"I like it." Said the boy.
"Hey!" called out May Belle, "Who's this?"
"I guess your ride is here, I'll see you around, my little sapling." Said the boy.
The boy just suddenly vanished.
"That was weird…" said May Belle.
"No kidding." Said Ursa who hopped on May Belle, "Don't go too fast time."
"Don't worry." Said May Belle.
And so May Belle once again headed towards the shack, much slower this time.
The next day while waiting for Candy and Grenda, Dipper decided to tell Kitsu about the boy she met.
"That's weird. Said Kitsu.
"Yeah, so do you have any idea what he was?" asked Dipper.
"Don't ask me…" said Kitsu, "I always hide form the weirdos."
"I'm just a little worried." Said Dipper, "Remember what we saw in the future…"
"You mean during that photo shoot?" asked Kitsu not wanting to remember the other future they saw.
"Oh yeah, your future left refused to talk about something in the future." Said Mabel.
"Yeah." Sighed Dipper, "It was supposed to worse than Gideon."
Both Mabel and Kitsu looked at Dipper .
"I don't think that's what he meant,." Said Kitsu.
"What do you mean?" asked Dipper.
Kitsu looked at Dipper while Mabel was giggling.
"What's so funny?" asked Dipper.
"It's nothing." Said Mabel.
That was when Candy and Grenda arrived.
"Hey what's up?" asked Grenda.
"Dipper met a creepy guy who seems to like him yesterday." Said Kitsu.
"What!" yelled Dipper.
"Ew…" said Grenda remembering they forgot hot water the day before.
"That's too bad." Said Candy.
"What do you mean he likes me?" asked Dipper.
"He was giving off that feeling." Said Mabel.
"Just what I need." Sighed Dipper.
They searched that part of the forest.
However they were unaware of something.
"I need to see her again…" said the boy's voice from somewhere, "I think I have the perfect idea…"
That was when several strange creatures appeared.
"Go find the young dryad and cause some trouble…" said the voice.
The creatures ran off.
Sometime later with the group, Dipper switched to Ursa and did the final check.
"Still nothing?" asked Candy.
"Still nothing." Said Ursa.
That was when they heard growls.
"Great…" said Ursa.
"All right! Time for another fight!" cheered Mabel.
She grabbed a bottle of water turning into May Belle.
"Can't we have one day we don't have to fight something in forest?" asked Kitsu.
"I know." Sighed Ursa.
The strange monster went to attack Ursa.
Ursa caused some roots to go after the monsters but they hit the monster and just went through them.
"What?" asked Ursa.
Kitsu tried to send some fire at them but it still had no effect.
May Belle tried to kick one, but the they just dodged.
Same with when Grenda tried to punch them.
"Looks like the only thing is to run!" said Candy.
However all of the strange monsters all swarmed Ursa. However a bright flash of light appeared and the monsters just vanished.
They looked to where the light came from, and there stood the boy.
"That sure was scary." Said the boy brushing away some hair from his face.
He jumped down next to Ursa.
"Are you all right?" he asked touching her cheek.
Ursa started backing away.
"I'm sorry, it's just that you're getting close…" said Ursa, "I don't even know who you are."
"Oh I guess I should explain." Said the boy, "My name is Lux… and I'm a Fae."
"A Fae?" asked May Belle.
"I guess the unicorns don't tell their foals about us…" said Lux, "I guess I should explain…"
They all got chills when he said that.
"As you know, there are many kinds of fairies in the forest. Wood, water, flower, magic all kinds…" said Lux, "And there's us… the highest on the hierarchy, the most powerful of all kind of fairies. The Fae."
"Why are you here?" asked Ursa.
"Oh come now haven't you figured it out?" asked Lux, "I'm here to see you."
Walked over to Ursa and kissed her on the lips.
Ursa's eye twitched.
"Oh my dear, you're so humble. Any other Dryad I would pull that one would be screaming her head off." Said Lux, "You're so cute."
That was when Lux dodged a fireball.
"Get away from him." Said Kitsu.
"Oh how cute." Said Lux, "A Kitsune things she can stand up against me."
He produced a strange piece of paper and threw it at Kitsu. She turned into her fox form.
The piece of paper was stuck on the back of her neck.
"Get it off me! Get it off me!" she said.
"I know you can have better friends than these, but I'm sure you have a reason for hanging out with them…" said Lux, "But for now adieu."
He then suddenly vanished.
"You okay bro-bro?" asked May Belle.
Ursa's eye was twitching.
"Are you okay?" asked Candy.
"That guy just kissed me!" yelled Ursa, "You just don't do that."
"It's going to be okay." Said Candy.
Grenda picked up Kitsu and removed the piece of paper.
"What is that?" asked May Belle.
"I think it's some sort of ward that prevent me from changing." Said Kitsu turning back to her human like form.
"We should see if there's anything about Fae in the journal." Said May Belle.
"Fine…" sighed Ursa.
They looked through the journal and there nothing about Fae.
The closet things were about barf fairies.
"There's fairies involving barf?" asked Grenda.
"Didn't need to know that…" said Kitsu.
"Maybe it's in number 1." Said Dipper.
"Where is number 1 anyway?" asked Kitsu.
"It's not important." Said May Belle.
The three looked at each other but shrugged it off.
"Hey, you want go home together?" asked Kitsu.
"You had a bad day." Said Candy.
Thanks." Said Ursa.
They turned the twins back to normal and as they all walked.
"You know what I was thinking about those monsters that attacked." Said Candy.
"What about them?" asked Dipper.
"I think he created them." Said Candy.
"Why would he do that?" asked Dipper.
"Isn't it obvious! It's so that he could sweep you off your feet." Said Kitsu.
"What a creep!" said Mabel.
"I know…" sighed Dipper.
"Hopefully, there's a weakness in the journal and we can get him off your back." Said Mabel.
That night, they told Stan they needed to barrow the Journal.
"Why?" asked Stan.
"Because we need to see if has any information on Faes." Said Mabel.
"What did something happen today?" asked Stan.
"Nothing! Nothing at all!" said Dipper blushing.
"A creepy Fae has a crush on Ursa and he kissed her." Said Mabel.
Stan started laughing remembering that Ursa was the nickname for Dipper's female half.
"It's not funny!" yelled Dipper blushing.
"It's a little funny." Said Mabel, "But only I you ignore the creepy."
"Fine, I'll go get the journal." Sighed Stan.
They followed Stan into the gift shop and were surprised by the fact that vending machine was a secret door.
"Whoa!" both of them said.
"Stay up here." Said Stan.
The two nodded and after a few minute Stan returned with the journal.
Dipper began to look through.
"The Fae, say to be the most powerful beings that live in the forest. No one knows that they really look like preferring to shape shift into a human like form. No one knows the limits to their powers and I'm unsure if I want to find out. I have encountered a few, they seem to think they're better than everyone. And seem rather delusional, but be careful, despite their delusions, they are very dangerous…. Weaknesses unknown." Read Dipper, "Come on!"
"Oh come on, I'm sure it's not that bad." Said Mabel.
"You could always tell the guy that you're a boy." said Stan, "Trust me getting that surprise creeps men out."
Dipper's eyes widened and then face lamed.
"Next time he shows up give him the sausage bomb." Said Stan.
"Hopefully that will work." Said Dipper.
"Trust me…" said Stan who then shuddered.
"Do we want to know?" asked Mabel.
"No… you don't…" said Stan.
The next day they finished the search and it was time for the final check.
"Hopefully Lux won't find me again." Sighed Dipper who then splashed himself with cold water.
Ursa did the final check and nothing.
However the strange monsters from the day before appeared. Considering that they figured that he was behind it, Ursa sighed and said this.
"Lux! I know you're behind this!" called out Ursa.
"I guess I should have figured out you saw through it." Said Lux appearing, "You are quite intelligent."
"Look, I have to tell you something." Said Ursa.
"What?" asked Lux.
"I'm a human boy." Said Ursa.
Lux stared at her.
"I would ask if your tree is poisoned but your unbound. Are you feeling all right?" asked Lux.
"I'm a human boy! Okay." Said Ursa.
"Oh Isère your playing a prank." Said Lux.
Mabel tossed her a thermos, it hit her in the head.
"Sorry." Said Mabel.
"It's okay." Said Ursa picking it up.
Ursa poured the context on herself and Lux stared in shock.
"See I'm a boy who is cursed with a Jusenkyo Curse!" said Dipper.
"Oh no…" said Lux.
"I'm sorry man… but look… "said dipper.
"What sort of foul spell are you under!" yelled Lux.
"What…" said Dipper.
"You are the most intelligent, beautiful yet young dryad! And you're under some sort of horrible spell!" said Lux.
"I'm a boy." Said Dipper.
"Do not worry… I am a Fae." Said Lux, "I can remove this horrible fate!"
His hand began to glow and he began to chant something. The light shot into Dipper but nothing happened.
"It didn't work!" yelled Lux, "How! I am a Fae! How can that not work!"
Mabel poured cold water on Dipper, turning him into Ursa.
"You're still cursed." Said Mabel.
"Yes, I noticed." Said Ursa.
"I don't know what happen!" yelled Lux.
He held Ursa's hand.
"Oh dear Ursa, I will figure out what is turning you in a human boy! And I will free you from that curse!" said Lux.
He kissed her on the hand.
Ursa pulled her arm away.
"We will still each other but until you are free we can't be together." Said Lux, "I will free your true self and when we do then we shall marry. But for now…"
Lux conjured a horse.
"You will be free, I promise you that." Said Lux.
Once he was gone they all stared.
"Did anyone understand any of that?" asked Kitsu.
"I think he's going to try to parentally turn Dipper into a Dryad." Said Mabel.
"That sounds bad." Said Candy.
"But from the way he kept repeating himself he's not that bright." Said Mabel.
Ursa just sighed.
"Why didn't he believe me?" asked Ursa.
"Remember what the journal said, it said that Fae are delusional." Said Mabel.
"He rejected the truth for his own expiation." Said Candy.
"Great…" said Kitsu.
"From the sounds of it, it sounds like he's going to back off." Said Mabel.
"I hope so." Said Ursa.
Thankfully the next day he didn't show up at all. However Dipper knew that Lux wasn't compete off his back and hopefully he wouldn't have to deal with him again.
"You know you shouldn't be breathing a sigh of relief yet." Said Mabel as they were walking back from the shack.
"Why?" asked Dipper.
"Remember, you still have a date with Gideon to look forward to." Said Mabel.
Dipper face palmed.
Now he had two guys after his female form… and he wanted nothing to do with either of them.
He could only hope that the not only did he find the second journal soon, but that it also held a cure.
Because having two guys after him was very annoying.
A little funny, but very, very annoying.
Next Time: Gideon realizes he hasn't been on date with Ursa yet. So they go on a date. Can Ursa deal with the date? Find out next time.
A/N: For those wondering, Lux is going to be an idiot for the rest of the fic. Much like Kuno, he's a bit intimidating in his first appearance but after that he gets dumber as time goes on.
But yeah both Gideon and Lux fill the Kuno role, Gideon with the love triangle that's in his head and Lux with the delusions of grandeur and denial of everything involving the curse.
Oh and yes, I am aware of the whole cold iron weakness of fairies. But knowing Ford he probably wrote that in invisible ink.
