Description
The Deal with Star.
-Oh my god Jackie, you look like, the ocean!
Star told to Jackie that was standing right in front of her, dressing a beautiful dress that matched perfectly with her eyes, Jackie smiled.
-Ha, thanks.
Jackie turn her head to where Bill was sitting.
-Hey Janna.
-Hey.
Suddenly, a voice came out from the top floor, it was Marco, dressed with a very elegant suit.
-Hey Jackie.
Everyone turned their heads to where Marco was standing, Bill turned too, but as soon as he saw Marco, he redirect his attention to Star.
Star saw Marco in the top of the stairs, Star smiled, her pupils grow a little and her eyes started to glow, she brought both of her hands to her chest without noticing it, then, Star’s attention was directed to Jackie, Jackie had the same expression that Star just had.
Star’s expression changed completely when she saw Jackie and Marco looking each other, Marco started to descend from the stairs and got in front of Jackie, Star was watching them with a sad expression on her face, Bill too, was watching them, but with a smile on his face.
-Ha, I doubt this could get easier than it is now.
Suddenly, Marco’s Dad asked Star to take a picture of Marco and Jackie, Star agreed and took the picture with a fake smile on her face.
-Well, I take that back.
Marco and Jackie left for the high school dance, leaving Star and Bill behind.
Bill approached Star.
-Hey Star, what about if we get going too?
-Yeah… let me ask Miss Diaz if she can give us a ride…
Star entered the house calling for Miss Diaz.
-Well, everything is ready, but there’s still one thing that it has to be done, but for now, I can’t do anything, just wait.
-Hey Janna, Miss Diaz agree to giving us a ride to the cemetery, we just have to get everything on the car.
-In that case, we better hurry, there’s still some things to do in there.
After that, they got all in the car and started their little trip to the graveyard, when they arrived, Bill and Star got out of the car, suddenly, Star’s spell book came out of the car, quickly reaching Star and Bill while they were walking directly to the entrance, the book slammed in the ground and opened by itself, Glossaryck came out of the book.
Glossaryck: So where’s this ghost?
Star: Glossaryck? What are you doing here?
Glossaryck: Is that a joke? Dead clown resurrection!
Glossaryck closed the book and started to make it float under it.
Glossaryck: Now lead the way.
Bill put on his head lantern and turn it on, Glossaryck turn on his gem in his head and they both started walking just a few feet ahead of Star that was following them while watching at her phone.
Bill: I like your natural head lamp Glossaryck.
Glossaryck: It’s not natural but thank you anyways, Bill.
Bill: Glad to see you again pal.
Bill said with a smile on his face.
Glossaryck: Look Bill, I don’t know why you are here, but, if I know you well, I can tell it’s not good at all.
Bill: Oh relax Glossaryck, I am just here to see that clown and nothing more.
Glossaryck: I don’t believe that reason is enough for you to be here.
Bill: Look who’s talking.
Glossaryck: I don’t have any idea of what do you mean by that.
Bill: Please Glossaryck, you know me and I know you, and I know that you have better things to do than watching a dead clown coming back to life.
Glossaryck: Oh yeah? Like what?
Bill: Oh I don’t know, maybe searching for the thing that is causing the magic problem?
Glossaryck: how do you even know that?
Bill: I’m the master of the mind, remember? I know everything.
Glossaryck: Well, if that’s the case, tell me why I’m here to watch the dead clown and not trying to search for the problem?
Bill: Because you already found it, you already know what the problem is, and that’s why you came here.
Glossaryck: So, what you’re saying that I came here to find you, because you’re the problem?
Bill: Oh no, my old friend Glossaryck, you have something else planned for tonight, I know what it is, and let me tell that you are so cold and heartless, how can you do that to Star, especially in this situation?
Glossaryck stared at Bill in silence.
Bill: Don’t you worry, your secret is safe with me.
Glossaryck and Bill went through the entrance of the graveyard while they were still speaking, with Star following behind.
Glossaryck: I think I should say Star that you are up to no good, maybe she has the needed experience to cast that spell.
Bill: Oh yeah? Then let me tell her your real purpose, your little plan.
Glossaryck: Don’t I think Star heard that already, she’s was just walking behind us the whole time.
Bill: In that case, let’s ask her what she thinks on the matter. Hey Star, what do you think?
Star: Don’t you think that is weird that Marco first asked me to the dance and after that he totally changed his mind, that’s like, not cool, right?
Bill: What? Didn’t you were the one that told him to go with Jackie because you want to see Bon Bon? You want to see Bon Bon, don’t you?
Star: Oh yeah… Bon Bon…
Bill turned back to look Glossaryck again.
Bill: So, you were saying?
Glossaryck: Fine, I admit that this is not the right moment to talk to Star about this.
Bill: That’s exactly what I’m saying, so, you don’t say about me, and I don’t say about you, deal?
Glossaryck: Yes, yes, yes, just set your hand in fire like you always do to finish this as fast as we could.
Bill: I can’t do that in this body, let’s just shake hands like normal people.
Glossaryck and Bill shake hands, but before letting go, Glossaryck said.
Glossaryck: But I have to warn you, if you hurt Star physically or emotionally, you are going to regret it.
Bill: I understand.
Star called out for Bill’s and Glossaryck’s attention, pointing to a tomb in front of her while doing it.
Star: Janna, Glossaryck! Check this out.
Bill and Star removed the plants around the grave and revealed the owner of it, the name Bon Bon was written on it with a phrase.
Star and Bill: “I will come back” It’s Bon Bon!
They immediately started to get the things ready for summoning the dead clown, Bill gathered all the stuff in his bag and started to make a “summoning spell” in the floor in front of the tomb, meanwhile, Star was getting her things ready for decorating the grave, but her mind was still thinking about Marco.
Bill finished quickly his job, but Star wasn’t doing it very well.
Bill: Hey Star, how is that coming along?
Star: Uh, oh, yeah… it’s going great…
Bill: You sure, that doesn’t seem really great to me?
Star: *sigh* Sorry Janna, my hands are not really feeling it right now…
Bill: Hey, take your time, believe me, this is going to be a long night.
Star: Yeah, in that case, could I have your opinion on something?
Bill: Don’t tell me this is about Marco again?
Star: No… Yes…
Bill: Nailed it.
Star: Just watch this photo.
Star said as she got near to Bill while opening the photo in her phone and zooming it.
Star: See, just because Marco has a mole and Jackie has like eight of them.
Bill: Star, those are frecks.
They got interrupted by Glossaryck that was watching a page of Star’s spell book.
Glossaryck: Hey Star?
Star: Yes, interrupter.
Glossaryck: Are you going to use this?
Star: What is it?
Glossaryck: Um… I dunno, there’s some kind of draw, of a rat, or something…
Star: I don’t care.
Glossaryck: So… I can do whatever I want?
Star: Yeah, yeah whatever.
After that, Glossaryck set the page of the spell book on fire, the fire didn’t damaged any of the other pages or the book, Glossaryck just proceed to use the fire to warm him, Bill got the opportunity to delete the picture from Star’s phone.
Bill: Whoops, I accidentally deleted the picture, problem solved, now get back to whatever you were doing Fallen Star.
Star: W-what? How did you call me?
Bill: I called you Star, now stop worrying about Marco and Jackie, they are fine in that dance.
Star: Yeah, you’re probably right…
Star resumed her work in the tomb of the clown, meanwhile, Bill walked slowly behind a tomb where some of Ludo’s minions were watching.
Bill: Hey, I need to talk with Ludo, so bring him here.
The rats got in their way to the tree were Ludo was preparing himself, after some seconds, Ludo went to where Bill was waiting.
Ludo: Bill, I was expecting you.
Bill: I was expecting me too buddy.
Ludo: Just talk quick, my demonic friend.
Bill: I need you to put some of your minions to guard the main entrance, Red Belt will arrive here, and when he does, I will need a good distraction for him, if he gets even a little close to where you and Fallen Star will be, our whole plan will be for shattered.
Ludo: I understand, I will let my minions to know about this.
Bill: One last thing, when I tell you to pay me back, you will do whatever it is in your power to pay me back, or else.
Ludo: Yes, yes, do not worry, I will make sure to give you that noisy little brat.
Bill: Good, now, if you excuse me, I have something to attend to, see you later.
Bill came out of their hiding and return to where Star was, Star was still decorating the tomb.
Bill: Oh man, this is going to get more than I expected…
Bill started to look around, searching for something to do, his attention was caught by an unburied tomb.
Maybe it’s time to get this body to sleep before resuming my plan.
Bill went to the tomb and jump inside of it, he got comfy and prepared himself, but when he was about to fall completely asleep, he heard a voice.
Star: Janna! Wake up!
Bill: No, you shut up.
Star: Augh! Well, in that case, I suppose I’m just going to be chillin here, alone, in a graveyard, unless some dead clowns were coming back from death now. Augh!
Star just sat down in the ground, putting his back against a tomb behind her.
Star: I should just went to that stupid dance.
Star opened her phone, recovered the deleted photo and started to watch it.
Star: Well, at least Marco is having fun.
Star looked for some seconds her phone before calling Marco, but, Marco didn’t answered…
Star ended the call and made a new one, and a new one, and a new one.
While Star was calling repeatedly to Marco, Bill fall asleep, exiting from Janna’s body, after that, Bill gave the empty body the suffice energy to keep it living and sleeping.
After that, Bill went to where Star was, hiding behind the tomb where she was sitting. After 57 calls without reply to Marco, Star gave up, throwing her phone away.
Star: Argh! Why you don’t you pick up Marco?
Stars attention were caught by Glossaryck’s loud snores.
Star went directly to the spell book where Glossaryck was sleeping and opened the book.
Star: Hey, Glossaryck, what’s the name of that spying spell?
Glossaryck woke up and started to remember.
Glossaryck: Ungh… Umm… Oh! The all-seeing eye, that will be in Eclipsa’s chapter.
Star started to turn the pages of the book, searching for the spell, but Glossaryck talked.
Glossaryck: Wait, wait, wait, you don’t want to go there… Dark magic… It’s not nice to spy on other people… Because, spying leads to crying…
After that, Glossaryck went back to sleep, leaving Star alone with her thoughts.
Star: Well, I’m not using it to spy.
Star, turned the pages of the book until she found the spell she was looking for.
Star: Aha! The all-seeing eye…
Bill quickly prepared for his great appearance.
Star: I summon the all-seeing eye, to rip a hole into the sky…
Before Star could even finished the spell, Bill quickly appeared in front of her with the most striking way he could.
Bill: At your service, Star Butterfly!
Star: W-what?! Who are you? What happened?
Bill: Allow me to introduce me, I am the all-seeing eye and you just summoned me with that spell of yours.
Bill told to her, lying.
Star: So… You are telling me, that you are the spell of the all-seeing eye, from the book?
Bill: That’s exactly what I am saying, so, what do you need me for.
Star: Um… I don’t know, the book say that you were a spying spell, so…
Bill: Oh, so you want to spy someone, tell me, who is the lucky one?
Star: No, no, no I don’t want to spy, I just… want to… check on my friend.
Bill: Hmm… Isn’t your friend sleeping on that open grave over there?
Star: No, I don’t want to spy on her, I want to spy on my friend Marco, he’s in a high school dance with another friend of mine, so, I wanted to see how are they doing.
Bill: Ok, I will let you to check on your friends, but I can’t do it just like that.
Star: What? Why not?
Bill: You see, I can give you everything you want, but you have to give me something in return, in other words, I can’t do anything if we don’t make a deal first.
Star: Ok… what do you want?
Bill: Well, let me think…
Bill turned around for a few seconds before facing Star again.
Bill: All I want from you it’s some of your time.
Star: What?
Bill: You see, I have an old friend who has been alone for some time, and I think that a visit from your part will make his day.
Star: So… You want me to visit your friend?
Bill: Yes, I only ask for that, nothing more.
Star: Where is your friend?
Bill: I will tell you that after we seal the deal, so…
Bill stretched his arm to Star and set his hand on blue fire.
Bill: Do we have a deal?
Star was starting to doubt from her decision.
Star: Umm… I don’t know…
Bill retrieve quickly his hand and turned her back towards Star.
Bill: Oh well, in that case I will just leave without making the deal, besides, spying is a bad thing to do.
Star: Y-yeah, I guess you are right, they are probably having fun…
Bill: But, your friend doesn’t answer your calls, right? Maybe something happened to him, what if he was kidnapped again?
Star was starting to worry due the words of Bill, in her imagination, she was thinking that maybe Marco was indeed kidnapped, maybe he was hurt, maybe it was all a trap, maybe he was dead.
Bill: But, we will never knew, because we didn’t seal this simple deal…
Star took Bills hand, this automatically set itself in the blue fire while Star was shacking his hand.
Star: NO, NO, NO! It’s a deal! Now show him to me!
Bill: Alright, alright! Just relax and give me my hand back!
Star let go Bills hand, Bill relax and started to talk.
Bill: Well, before showing your friend to you, there’s something I have to warn you about.
Star: What is it? Say it quick!
Bill: I’m going to use my magic to show you your friend into your mind, while I’m doing this, you will have to take control of your emotions, if your emotions get mixed with my magic we could accidentally change something of the situation your friend is, for better or worse, so please, keep calm while you’re watching.
Star: Alright I got it, now do it quick!
Bill got side to side with Star, after that, Bill put his hand in Star’s head, his hand started to get in an even great blue fire and his eye started to glow with a blue bright light, an image started to project in front of them, showing how Marco and Jackie were having a great time skateboarding together.
Star watched this scene with a sad look in his face, she growled to the projection, suddenly, the blue light in Bills eye became red, causing Jackie and Marco to fell off the skateboard, Star reacted scared, she step away from the projection, getting off Bills hand from her head, ending the projection.
Star: W-what just happened?! What did you do?!
Bill: Oh, I didn’t do anything, your emotions did.
Star: That not true! You are lying to me!
Bill: And you are lying to yourself kid, when I’m doing that thing I lose all consciousness, it’s just only you and an unconscious me by your side.
Star: No… It can’t be…
Bill: Yes it is, know if you excuse me, I have to go now, don’t forget our deal, I’ll let you know when you are supposed to visit my friend.
Bill disappeared from Star’s sight, Star walked backwards with fear, she didn’t know that she was walking towards the tomb were was Janna’s body, Bill once again, enter the body of Janna, preparing himself for the impact, Star eventually fell over him, after that, both of them got out of that hole.
Star: Did I really do that?
Bill: You fell into me, so yes.
Star started to talk fast about what happened, without making any sense of the things she was saying, Bill interrupted her.
Bill: Whoa, slow down, I can’t make a lick of sense of what you’re saying.
After that, Bill chask his fingers behind his back.
