"It's quite a promising fact." Star glared at him. "It is not! I can prove that you're nothing special! With- uhm. Er." The boy paused for a while before looking at Star's fancy blue dimensional scissors. "Ah! With that- scissor thing! If you show that you can control it. You win. But, if ya lose, I get all the bragging rights!" Marco exclaimed. Perfect~!
Star is never that great at using magic. As it was said, the princess can hardly call magical properties. He's so going to win! Star's pride didn't want losing to Marco's ego. The princess agreed without much of a thought. "But, if I win?"
Star asked. "Then, I will clean up my side of the bathroom, fix my room, AND teach you the Diaz secret recipe! It IS a bad boy's honor!" Marco proclaimed- quite sure. "And~ I'll stop you from bugging me for a week!" Star added.
"Wait! That's too much! Then, I'll add- you buying me free treats for a month! Not like you'll win, anyway!" He told. A vain popped from Star's head as she held her hand out. "I accept!" She told. "And I second the bet!" He agreed.
Their hand shake sealed the deal. And the Latino bad boy took a step back to let her do her thing with the scissor. It makes her more anxious whenever he gives her the smirk worth another golden bad boy record. So, he gave it. He is never taking a loss! Better distract her with his 'Annoying-the-life-out-of-a-Star 2.0 techniques'! Which he excelled!
But somehow, she pulled it off! He frowned when the new portal- fresh from nowhere- appeared on their backyard. A proud smile graced its way into Star's face. He need to go plan fast! She can't win! He can't lose! It is not how this is going to end! Then, he thought up an idea.
"I did it! I-I actually did it!" Star squealed- princess like- as she twirled around with her dimensional scissor. She- this powerless princess of no control- was able to summon up enough magic essence to power up a magical item!
"Yeah. But, how can we be sure you really used it right?" A grinning Marco just HAD to ruin the moment! "I mean, this will be called a cheated win if it didn't work out right! This, could be unable to bring anyone into other dimensions! At least, it may be a decoy. Do you even know where this off portal leads to? What kind of future queen doesn't check? We have to be certain with a fair win!" Marco declared. As much as Star hates to admit it, he's right! And he knew it!
"I- uh, It's not, well-!" But, Star got cut off by Marco. "So~ I need to know, how WILL the future queen of Mewni check this halla baloo out? Wanna forfeit?" He raised his brows. She can't risk being beaten by a mean earth turd! No way!
Think quick, Star! She NEEDS to get a grip! She never like to work under pressure! Star looked around this yard. She was hoping to find a sign. To find anything! Until, her eyes laid on Glossaryk- who was 'hanging' around the 'Book Of Spells' and she begged with her eyes. Glossaryk groaned.
Then, he lazily made a cup and a vertical spoon appear. It floated infront of him and moved on its own accord. Stars covered the spoon while the cup was black. Then, the tiny spoon entered the horizontally placed cup, vertically. The idea was so clear to her now! "We must enter that portal!"
She proclaimed. Come on! That spoon must be a symbol for her, right? And the cup is the symbol of the portal that she could just simply enter! Right? Why, it must be! "Wait a second! You can't be serious! I-!" But, Marco was pulled in before he could finish looking for a reason not to go.
Star dragged him into the portal with her and it closed. A yawn escaped Glossaryk's mouth hole as he gazed at the empty yard and the book left by the princess. Oh well. It's not a big deal. He will just appear when she needs him.
"I wonder why she left to that unstable dimensional gate, though. I only wanted a refill of cafeteria pudding." He told to no one in particular and closed the guidebook. It was in that unnerving silence, that the book decided to disappear into thin air. Meanwhile, in another odd dimensional rift- a portal opens up and spits the quarreling duo.
