Hello. Am normal.

Let's read reviews.

Anonymims: I live mystery. And Robinson's Protein Shakes.

jjmmmmmmlol: Questions lead to answers and answers lead to development.

theRevil: Holy shit. Best review I've ever received. Points. I can turn down cursing, but it will be a part of me, I was raised by sailormouths and I'm a freshman in highschool, and well, we all love to curse. I see the pacing problem. The way I wrote Star is the way I was after one of my own tragedies. Back in January, my house burnt down and I had to sorta rely on my sarcastic attitude to stay halfway alive. I want to write Star and Marco as my own characters for whatever reason. Having a blank template is better than doing one already given to me. The intelligence rivalry is also based on my real-life experiences. Also, love the story you have written. Anyone reading it should check it out, it's called "The Lives We Lead." It's a yeet/10.

Guest Sorta: Well, that's M. Night's only good movie. After that it turned to shit.

Laughingseal19: All of your reviews made me laugh.

Let's dive in.

Also, the quote is from Green Day's Revolution Radio.

The dark chains they were home to became normal on day 3. The sound of metal on metal was also great.

Disregard the exposition. Today is step one in taking control over this man.

Rebeldes walked to the chains, holding their "food."

"I'm not eating." River said.

"Me neither." Moon also said.

They threw their trays at the wall.

"Greaaatt." Rebeldes pulled out his gun quickly. "I'm not going to kill you, so you shouldn't do the same. However, I can shoot you in the kneecaps if you want."

"Eh, don't need 'em anyways." River said, relaxed.

Rebeldes shot him in the knee, followed by about 37 minutes of wailing and pain from River.

"Yeah, good luck starving asshole. The food is the only thing you've got."

Rebeldes walked away, back to his human television.

"Yeah, good question, how are we going to eat?" Moon asked, a bit regretful of the plan.

River, still in pain, pulled Reese's peanut butter cups out of his beard.

"I'm telling you, they want to be killed." Rebeldes said to his therapist.

"What's the problem with killing them?" Said Gazorpazorp, now in the form of Mr. Candle.

"It's my plan. I've gone by plans my entire life. Hell, even my relationships go by strict plans."

"So, what's the problem with changing the plan? Killing them won't really affect it, will it? I mean, after killing their daughter, what are you going to do to them? Death is inevitable. Either they die of old age, or you kill them."

"It just angers me, being wrong."

"Well then," Mr. Candle said, "you must be mad all the time."

Mr. Candle walked out the door.

"I'm off to Maine. It the most east state."

And he went out the window.

Rebeldes would spend the rest of the day wondering if killing them really was the easiest route.

"So they're just now getting to Maine?" Ludo asked Buff Frog.

"Yes sir, and if it's a state a day as I estimate, it should be about 30-40 more days until they actually find Star Butterfly."

"South Carolina, right?"

"No sir, South California."

"Yes, that's right."

Ludo turned around, looking at his mirror.

"Mom."

Backstories are usually key.

Self-contradicting ones are also the same.

It dated back around 25 years. The Butterfly's raged war on the other bordering monarchies, such as the one Ludo's mother ran.

It was the first war. The Queen was persistent on her intent to run. At this time, Ludo was a struggling middle-school student, an awkward shell of his parents. All the stress fell on him.

As the war went on, many hiding spots were used by Ludo, as his house was gone in a heartbeat. From trees where he saw all the action, to hobbitholes that served as Kurt Vonnegut bomb chambers.

But it was the 35th day of the war that matters went into his own hands.

He was hiding in the corn fields, as Mewni at this point decided not to protect them yet.

He was watching his mother in battle, easily defeating most Mewmans in her way.

However, war is war, and war is unpredictable.

A country-bumpkin idiot shot her straight in the head with a crossbow.

So it goes.

Ludo's father was the first casualty, leading to many Mewmans to believe they won.

Ludo became in charge.

Much like Ismail of the Ottoman empire, he was a surprisingly strong leader.

Much like Ismail of the Ottoman empire, he led the remaining 1,000 troops to victory against the 15,000 Mewmans.

The Butterfly's were shocked.

What they did afterwards however, was the most shocking.

I described them as horrible leaders. But when it came to defeat, they took it beautifully. It was the shining light in an outhouse.

They said they would leave Ludo alone, and, would pay him, the new leader of his people, handsomely, and they would work as allies, the only allies. Ludo could refuse anytime, the result of the death of his mother. He could've had them killed any time he wanted.

He respected them, despite that assassination. It was what his mother would have wanted. She was a peaceful lady. And he wanted to be the same (excluding the gender, of course).

So he actively regrets his oversleeping of Rebeldes' takeover.

And he wants his revenge.

"Perfect." Ludo said, turning back around. "Another double-agent is coming soon. You'll see him."

Silence took over the room.

"We make our first move in a week, when we meet Star Butterfly in South Connecticut."

"California."

"Yes."

Marco has troubles when he sleeps. When he sleeps, his thoughts seem to drift negatively, trying to make him mad so something catastrophic could happen.

Today was one of those days.

This time, it was about Jackie.

Marco had been looking at Jackie for some time. And yes, you know what "some time" means.

So, obviously, when Star came in and took his breath away, he was at first mad at himself.

"C'mon man, get yourself in gear!" He'd yell at himself in the mirror for a couple of nights. "You've liked Jackie since kindergarten, and you're over here drooling over a girl that you've seen for a combined 37 minutes?"

He tried to snap out of it, but it's hard trying to completely ignore someone that you lived with, you know?

Then Star hit him with what Marco could only call "gay shit."

Heck, the first thing she ever said to him was "you're cute."

It's like she was trying to make him fall in love with her.

And he definitely did not like her back.

Right?

Fourth-wall breaking time-skip

Marco came up with a very bad solution.

Don't talk to her.

Little did he know that would make it worse.

Marco skipped breakfast, and rode his bike to school contrary to the bus, just so he could avoid her.

But it's hard to ignore someone when you see them all day.

Fourth-wall breaking time-skip

"I miss home. I'd play Wii U all the time with my friends-"

It was impossible to ignore this girl.

"Hey, why aren't you talking?"

Marco put his head down, trying his best to ignore her.

"C'mon, it's not healthy to keep your emotions bottled up like this. Don't you pay attention in health class?"

"I'll tell you later." He mumbled.

"Alright."

Fourth-wall breaking time-skip

It was second period, and it was the only period where Star and Marco where completely isolated.

Also, this was the only class where Marco could have direct contact with Jackie Lynn Thomas. In P.E, she would want to talk to other friends she didn't have classes with, leaving Marco essentially in the dust.

He sat in the middle of Janna and Jackie, and would often ramble on about his boring life.

"Well, I'm close to Green Belt, so..." Marco said, trying to be impressive.

"Oh. Nice Marco. I guess." Jackie said, looking down, uninterested.

"ohmygodjustkillyourselfdiaz." He thought to himself.

Silence took over the table after one line of conversation, an art Marco had perfected over the years.

But then, in an act of a miracle, Jackie started up conversation.

"So how's life with that Star girl?"

"Oh. You spoke."

Marco realized his mistake.

"Oh, my bad. Well, it's... eventful."

Yvgeny reported back to work, where he would meet the new recruit.

Rebeldes stood at his makeshift podium in the dungeons, and called for order.

"Attention, all.." he counted all the people in the room, "one of you."

Insert some cricket noises.

"Yeah, I'm pretty lonely. BUT! The point of this was to announce LESS loneliness! Introducing our new recruit- Toffee- uhh.."

Toffee appeared from behind a curtain.

"I don't do last names."

"Alright! Toffee!"

River and Moon spat at his feet, River still clutching his knee.

Rebeldes turned around and pointed the trigger at Moon's head.

"I will blow your brains out, keep going. And remember-" He started walking the other way- "ladies are first."

Fourth-wall breaking time-skip

Yvgeny waited for Rebeldes to go back to his human television (which, was Rebeldes' only form of entertainment on Mewni, besides seeing the desperation of the former king and queen) and caught up with the new recruit.

"Hey. Toffee." Buff Frog said, tapping his shoulder.

"Yes?"

"Are you familiar to the plan?"

"Huh." Toffee said, seemingly humored.

"What is problem?" Buff Frog asked.

"Ludo told me you were more secretive. But, here you are, talking about 'the plan.' Don't you think that could be incriminating?"

"Not like anyone would walk in on-"

Tom walked in.

"Hey, I'm Tom. I don't do last names either." He said, shaking Toffee's hand.

Toffee winked at Buff Frog.

This was going to be hard, working with him.

Well, for the time being.

"It reminds me of a joke I made a while ago." Marco said confidently to Jackie.

"What is it?" Jackie said laughing.

"Well, if I had $1,000,000 dollars, I'd but sex with your mom. Then, with the remaining $999,990 dollars I'd invest it into a nice company- $10 dollar for sex with your mom!" He said, pointing fingers out like guns and cheesily putting on sunglasses.

Jackie burst out laughing, falling out of her seat.

"I'm alright."

Janna butted in and brought back a bit of awkwardness.

"Y'all should date."

Star was writing in her journal, next to someone who, after just three days of her being in this school, would never tell anyone her name anymore and be insisted to be called "Starfan13."

"Chapter 12: Richard"

Fourth-wall breaking POV-transition

You know, I've never been in love with anyone before, so maybe I'm just inexperienced, but is this Richard guy better than Marco?

I can't really put my finger on it. It's probably his hair. His jokes are just a little bit better, and he's pretty smart for someone of his background.

It seems as if all thoughts of Marco just dissapeared as soon as I saw him.

As I said, maybe I'm inexperienced, but I'm gonna ask him out. See how things work out.

I'll continue on this chapter later.

Fourth-wall breaking POV-transition

"What?" Jackie said.

"Well, I see it in your eyes. You think he's cute and funny." Janna said, trying to prove her point.

Jackie blushed.

"And Marco, every knows you've been thinking that since kindergarten."

Marco blushed.

"Don't you two think that's how it works? Two people who view eachother positively? A relationship?"

They both blushed.

Fourth-wall breaking time-skip

"So, are we dating now?" Jackie asked, confused by the last five minutes that I can't recall because it went faster than the speed of light.

"I guess so."

Fourth-wall breaking ending

Well, after about two days of editing and revising this, it's finally out.

Tell me what you think.

No points to be given out this time.

See ya later!
