SVTFOE: Gender Bend AU

Last Farewell

This episode, this is Marcie.

"Are you sure you don't want me to talk to them?" Riley asks, "you really seem like you need to hear from them."

"I just need to sleep," I sigh, "get out of my room and finish the Ballard."

"Nope," Riley demands, "come on, I'm not letting you mope in bed. What about Marcie? You don't want to worry her, do you?"

"She's happy without me," I sigh.

"What's wrong with you?" Riley asks, sitting on the edge of my bed, "did something happen? This is getting worse."

"I don't know," I sigh, trying not to think about Marcie and Johnson, why does that bother me so much? "I just... I guess I'm homesick?"

"Homesick?" Riley asks, "or do you just miss her?"

"I miss everyone," I reply, "I hate Mewni. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up."

"It's gonna be OK," Riley reassures me, "here, give me your scissors."

"What are you-"

"Trust me."

I shrug and comply, handing her my scissors before sulking back into bed. I don't wanna get up. No more Moon. I can't do this much longer...

"Before you burn all like you were burned," the voice whispers.

I start crying. Why won't it stop? Why can't I just go home and hug Marcie like nothing's changed? Who needs Tiffany? Marcie helps, but Tiffany is just possessive...

...

I need to speak to Tiffany. I won't be able to for a while, but when I can...

"So all good with those guards and Heinous?" I ask over the mirror on the wall in Comet- I mean Star's room.

"No issues," Tiffany replies, "but before you go, any word from Comet? I'm getting really worried. Did you do something?"

"I started dating Johnson," Marcie admits, "because... I dunno, Comet's gone now and... yeah."

A portal opens, and the call abruptly ends. From the portal, a hand slaps me, and Tiffany emerges. My instinctive response is to slap her back.

"Hands off!" I demand.

"What is wrong with you!?!" She demands, "you confess to Comet then start dating someone else? Haven't you caused him enough confusion and heartache!?!"

"You wanna go!?!" I demand, "let's go, OK!?! You've sabotaged Comet's stuff so many times! You care about him, fine, but the way you treat him like he's property, even if he's like your most prized possession is just wrong!"

"That's not your problem!" Tiffany's eyes begin glow red, "and we had a deal, you back off and we let Comet choose!"

"And what if he choose me?" I demand, "what are you gonna do? Be just friends? Flip out? What's your plan?"

"That's not gonna happen," Tiffany smirks, "but if he does, then yes, I'll stay his friend, but for now, there's no way that anything even close to that is gonna occur. All we've heard from Comet is silence. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if he used some dark spell and saw you with Johnson!"

"Can he do that?" I ask.

Oh, that would be bad...

"I dunno," Tiffany shrugs, "maybe. Who knows what kind of dark spells he knows? That green glow couldn't have been good. Look, we should try to ask him about it, if he's using dark magic, he's in danger."
