Before we start, a reply to some guest reviewers:
Calm: Well…you could say that after Marco warmed up to Star in the first episode, there really was no fear in him anymore. He was talking to Dr. Maheswaran about how his life had changed because of Star. But yeah, I guess I didn't know he didn't like being teased about it.
Ethan The Jester: That would be way out of character for Garnet and Pearl to do that. They trust and respect Star now, and they wouldn't do that to her even if they were completely jealous. Also, the idea has nothing to do with the story. So no, I won't use that idea, as it's too mean-spirited in my opinion and it doesn't fit the plot.
Anyway, onto the story.
Steven, Star, Connie and Marco began to walk around the neighborhood, trying to wonder how all of this weird and strange stuff happened. They tried looking for some of Star and Marco's friends, but at the meantime, nobody was around them.
"How did this all happen? This is just so weird!" exclaimed Marco.
"I know, right? It's like we just turned our backs for a bit, and then we return to find that everything has changed!" exclaimed Star.
"Well…I think I'm your answer, right?" said a voice.
The four jumped a little bit. That voice sounded awfully familiar to them. They turn around to find a big shocker. When they saw the figure, they immediately had anger in them, as they knew who the villain was.
It was Bill, the triangle demon from Gravity Falls.
"Say it. Say that I'm your answer." Bill teased.
"It's you again!" yelled Steven. "You're the one responsible for this!"
"Hooray! You did exactly what I said. I'm so proud!" said Bill sarcastically. The four glared at him.
"What are you doing here, triangle-head?! And why did you do this?!" yelled Star.
"Well, Princess Peach, you weren't here when I said this, but when I was defeated, I told your friends and enemies that I would soon be back! And now, I'm back!" Star just looked at Bill, with confusion over the nickname.
"Princess Peach?" said Star. "I'm not…a princess made of fruit."
"Well, duh! I was just mocking you with a pop culture reference! I was calling you Princess Peach because you kinda look like Princess Peach!" Star looked like she had no idea on what Bill was talking about. She couldn't figure out what he was saying.
"Um…I still don't get it." Bill facepalms himself.
"Somebody doesn't know who Mario is." said Marco.
"Forget it! Forget what I said!" yelled Bill. "Okay, I'm just gonna cut to the chase. Yesterday, I was wandering around this neighborhood, just minding my own business, when suddenly, I came across this female student. She apparently hates you two." he said, pointing to Star and Marco.
"Who is this girl that hates us?" wondered Star.
"That's something I'm not gonna tell you. But I made a deal with her that involved turning the place upside down when you guys weren't around. So yeah, you guys left for a bit, you returned with Shortman and Glasses-Girl, and you find everything completely different. And finally, I'm the one responsible for this, along with her."
"Well, you'd better change it back now, or Star and I are gonna crush you by fusing together and becoming Stevenar again!" yelled Steven. Bill wasn't afraid anymore, and he went to the four closer.
"You know what, let's make a deal." said Bill.
"Oh, no! We're not gonna make a deal with you, especially since last time, you even betrayed our enemies!" yelled Star.
"Well then, if you don't, I'm just gonna destroy both your worlds forever." said Bill, who looked like he was about to make a spell. However, the four stop him.
"Okay, okay! What's your deal?!" exclaimed the four.
"Here's the deal. I'll be at the end of the labyrinth, and you have to find the end of the labyrinth to meet me again, and if you do, you will battle me and the female. If you win the battle, I'll change everything back to normal." said Bill. The four smile at this.
"But if I win, I'm gonna destroy both worlds." said Bill. The four looked shocked at this. Bill then holds out his hand. "Do we have a deal?" he asked.
"Of course. You already stated that if we don't follow your deal, you'll destroy our worlds!" said Star, shaking hands with Bill.
"Good. Now then, I'll be flying into the end of the labyrinth. I hope to see you there." said Bill, who then flew up, and before he left, mocked Steven a little. "Oh, and Shortman, your weird mother would be completely terrified of me! Hahaha!" Steven looked down, and looked like he wanted to cry. Star gets angry at him.
"Hey, don't you dare call Steven's mom that! She's gone and all you can do is make fun of her?!" exclaimed Star, with skulls in her cheeks.
"Hey, I'm an all-knowing evil demon. I play by my rules." said Bill. "Now, see ya, suckers!" he rushed away as fast as a speeding plane. Star, Marco and Connie try to comfort Steven, who looked sad.
"Don't listen to that jerk, Steven. He just wants to toy with us." said Star. "Your mother isn't a weirdo."
"I know. But it just reminded me of one time when Lars mocked my mother in a similar way." said Steven, wiping tears.
"Lars, the school bully, knows who you are?" asked Star.
"What? No. My friend from Beach City, Lars. He just did it once, and he felt sorry about it later on."
"Oh, okay…anyway, we gotta find the end of the labyrinth! It's our only hope to bring this neighborhood back to normal!" exclaimed Star.
"I wish I had my sword! I would've fought Bill when he was just here!" exclaimed Connie.
"Well, the only way now is to follow what Bill says." said Marco.
"You're right, guys! Let's go!" said Steven.
The four of them got up, and began to run through the maze, in hopes of finding Bill soon. And Bill was already at the end of the maze, happily waiting for them with the female student.
Sorry if this chapter is a little short. I kinda got a lot of schoolwork in the way, and I'm planning some other fanfictions (Cough, Cough…Starco…), but this is the best I could come up with. Also, tell me if there are some grammar or punctuation errors, as this one was kinda rushed to me.
Anyway, what did you think of this one? I'll see you all in the next chapter.
