The Inconveniencing

!

Mornings at the Corduroy household had changed since the merge happen. Before Velma Corduroy would have to hide the fact that she's a Deer Woman, but with the merge and how accepting most people are to non-humans, she had revealed herself to the people of Gravity Falls. Now it's common to see her walking around with her antlers showing, not to mention that she is much more powerful than she looks as she's as strong as a deer, which doesn't sound much but is still stronger than most humans.

Wendy being 14 is still growing into her powers that she gains from her mom, which her brothers, Marcus, Kevin, and Gus also gain but watered down because they're boys. Her body is going through so many changes because of her being a Deer Woman which is the North American counterpart to a succubus. Who according to Velma they're cousins to but aren't as sex hungry as they are. (1)

"Mom, I'm going out with my friends after work," Wendy said as she got up from the table after finishing her plate of eggs.

"Those friends of yours are bad news," Dan said.

"What you mean me and Tambry have been friends for years. And Lee, Nate, Robbie and Thompson are ok," Wendy said.

"From what, I have seen you all not really friends, more like hanging out with each other," Velma said.

"Really mom? Like how you're really friendly with aunt Maurecia, Dana, Jenny, and Leslie?" Wendy asks about her mom's friends who are all fellow deer women.

"Now, now unlike me your aunts never found someone like your father, and he never minds me spending time with them. And once you are older you are going to be dealing with a high sex drive that will settle down only after you have kids of your own," Velma said.

"Don't remind me," Wendy said not liking what's in store for her once her deer puberty hits her.

Elsewhere -

The demon who in his own world was the ultimate evil of his planet, who is so evil that no one can call him by his name all they can do is call the demon, Him. Like all the other magic base beings, his powers have been reduced since the merge. His once vast powers are now mostly gone with only his most basic powers being left. He's still powerful in his own right but with how much things have changed he's been keeping low as those Powerpuff Girls keep themselves busy saving the world.

Him was keeping himself busy as he watches the events that are happening by his magic mirror that still works. He was watching how the girls are helping those KND kids get off the moon, by carrying them off in giant transports. They're also going to use the moon base as a space station seeing how it's already there and ready to be used. He also couldn't help but see The Man In The Moon appearing now and then, being the reason why those kids managed to survive on the moon for so long.

"WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?" Bill Ciper asks appearing in the mirror.

"Bill Cipher? What do you want?" Him ask.

"WHAT ELSE MAKE A DEAL. IT MUST BE HARD LOSING SO MUCH POWER. REMINDS ME OF HOW TRIGON USED UP MOST OF HIS POWER FIGHTING OTHER DEMON LORDS AND THEN LOSING WHAT'S LEFT BY HIS KIDS," Bill said.

"DON'T BRING HIM UP," Him growls.

"WHY HE'S YOUR COUSIN AFTER ALL," Bill said.

"He is but it doesn't mean I like him," Him said.

"OF COURSE, THERE IS HIS COUNTERPART," Bill said.

"He's been banished to that zombie world after failing to beat those heroes," Him said. "Now why are you here?"

"BIG PLANS ARE IN THE WORKS HAD TO MAKE SOME CHANGES. BUT I'M PLANNING ON BREAKING FREE OF MY DYING AND DECAYING REALM AND BRINGING EVERYONE WITH ME. AND SEEING HOW THE MERGE BROUGHT US TOGETHER HOW ABOUT YOU TEAM UP WITH ME? I ALREADY BEEN GATHERING UP SOME HELP," Bill said.

"Oh really?" Him ask.

"OH, I CAN ALSO PROMISE YOU THE RETURN OF YOUR POWERS ONCE THE NIGHTMARE REALM IS OPEN," Bill said.

"I'm listening," Him said.

In the forest -

Huntor is a lion-like alien with the reputation of being one of the greatest hunters in the universe and has the best weapons and technology at his disposal. He came to Earth to track down and hunt down monkey for revenge. But the merge changed that for him, leaving him stuck on the planet. He managed to pass himself off as a beastman and made a living as a bounty hunter and not just for law enforcement.

His current prey is a young girl that someone wants captured alive. Huntor doesn't care why as the bounty is more than enough for him to take the job. Of course, he's making sure that he's not walking into something that he's not ready for like with Monkey. He's been tracking her for days now and figure out where she makes her home, the lighthouse by the lake. The only problem was that it's well known and there are lots of people around. He doesn't want to tangle with the giantess living on the lake, who is friends with the girls guardian.

Huntor has been camping out in the forest under the cover of hunting for deer. Which he has hunted, skinned and cooking a deer he came across. As he ate the rack of deer ribs, he's barbecuing he began to think of the ways he could catch the girl. He could go in the place she's been living at but then he would have to deal with the cops after him, unless he wears a mask to hide his face. The smart way is him waiting for the girl to leave the anrea and for him to get her when she's alone. But he still would need to wear his hunting suit to be sure that if anyone spotted him, all they would see is someone covered from head to toe in hunting gear.

Truffula Forest -

The privately own land brought outright by Sunset Shimmer which is the only known forest of Truffula trees. Which is also home to the intelligent Bar-ba-loots, the Humming-Fish, the Swomee-Swan, and the guardian of the forest The Lorax. Is also the home of the Once-ler and his donkey, all from the movie version. The merge took the entire forest just after Once-ler gave up in selling the Thneed to the nearby town. Sunset brought the land that the forest rest on so that she could protect it. Showing Once-ler and the forest natives what would had happen if the merge didn't happen.

Once-ler whole motivation for harvesting Thneeds at the expensive of local wildlife and his promise to the Lorax was trying to earn the love of his shallow, materialistic family. Unfortunately for him, while he does earn their attention with his Thneed business, it just becomes a way for them to exploit him— deep down, his parents don't truly care about him at all. The moment his business goes pear-shaped, his parents leave him high and dry and his relationship with the Lorax and the forest animals is damaged beyond repair as a result of his actions. Naturally, this turns him into a bitter, miserable recluse for a long time afterward in the film.

Once-let vowed never to become that and he would never cut a tree down. Sunset told everyone that the forest will be protected, but she did it for more than just saving the trees and the animals that live there. The entire forest is labeled as an organic farm, and the trees are the crops. The Truffula trees would be harvested for their cotton like fibers, in a sustainable way so the trees can regrow what's been taken from them. In exchange the forest be protected and the animals will be safe as well, also give them a better standard of life. The Lorax after talking with the animals all agreed to Sunset's terms. (2)

The entire forest has a fence around it and the home of Oncer-ler has been moved to the edge of the forest and outside of the fence is the factory. The factory is where the cotton is taken to be cleaned up and made into clean fiber to be shipped out. The harvesting is done by Mr. Handy robots that Mr. house made to carefully harvest the cotton without harming the trees. There are non robot workers at the factory who make sure everything is running right and oversee the robots. The cotton of the Truffula trees have replaced Egyptian cotton as the superior fabric for bedding and bath linens. It has made a huge impact worldwide in the last few months since its been introduced.

The Lorax and his animal friends got out of the deal, a better standard of life. Instead of sleeping under the night sky, the Bar-ba-loots got huts made for them to sleep in at night and to stay dry when it rains. The waters that the Humming-Fish live in stayed nice and clean. The Swomee-Swans have birdhouses built for them to keep warm and dry. And the Lorax gets a new hut but he mostly lives with the Once-ler who is the forest warden who oversees the forest.

There is also walking tours for the tourist who came to see the beloved characters from a classic book brought to life. The tour includes seeing the Bar-ba-loots, the Humming-Fish, Swomee-Swans, and the Lorax. They also get to hear how these wonderful stories were created which makes it even more special for them. The visitors could get their own Truffula seed to grow their very own tree, at the visitor center just outside of the forest. Where children who visit are taught to respect and care for nature and that the seeds they take back home if given love and care can grow into their very own truffula tree.

"So why are we here again?" Agent Lawrence ask.

"We're here to see if the strange energy readings mean something magical appeared here," Dr. Molly Collingwood said. Both of them are in the forest tracking down the strange energy reading that suddenly appeared in the forest.

"Maybe it's a whatitwhoit," Lawrence said.

"Seeing how this is from the world of Dr. Seuss, maybe but we should be on the lookout for anything odd," Molly said before thinking about what she just said and where they are. "No wait, we should be looking for something that should be here. This is from the guy who created worlds that don't make sense at all."

"Like a living apple tree providing apples to the forest animals?" Lawrence said looking at something.

"Yeah something like that," Molly said.

"No, I mean it," Lawrence said pointing to something can cause Molly to follow where he's pointing.

There not far off where they stood is an apple tree that is completely out of place in the forest. Around it are the forest animals playing around it, as it uses its branches to hold them as they swing from them. And the animals are also eating its apples.

"Is that the Giving Tree?" Molly ask staring at the scene before her.

"Looks like it," Lawrence said.

"I thought the Giving Tree died in the story. How is it still alive?" Molly said, surprised.

"It looks like it grew from the stump of the old Giving Tree," Lawrence said.

"Actually the tree is from when the boy was a teen," the Lorax said who stood behind the two.

"You seem to know quite a bit about the story, sir," Molly said.

"Well I have read it many times, actually. And somehow like us she came to this world," Lorax said.

"How is that possible?" Molly asked.

The Lorax looked at her with a grin.

"There are worlds beyond ours, and the universe is bigger than you think," the Lorax said.

"Would you stop with the mystic mumble and say if you know or not?" Lawrence ask.

"Have no clue. I already told Once-ler about our new friend and he's calling Sunset about this. It looks like we now have another new member of the forest," Lorax said.

Lawrence nodded and sighed. He then turned to the Lorax.

"Why don't you introduce us to this new friend of yours?" Lawrence said turning to the Lorax.

"Of course, would be my pleasure," the Lorax said.

"I'm Lawrence, and this is Dr. Molly Collins, we work for SCP," Lawrence explains.

"I saw your patch with the symbol on it," Lorax said pointing to the shoulder patch on Lawrence and Molly's uniforms.

"Oh you know of us?" Molly ask.

"Some researchers came to study the trees and do some tests," Lorax said walking to the Giving Tree.

"Oh," Molly said as she and Lawrence followed him.

Gravity Falls -

Dusk 2 Dawn is an abandoned convenience store in Gravity Falls, Oregon. It was the property of Ma and Pa Duskerton before they died, and closed down soon after their deaths. There were rumors that a double murder took place there, but it turns out that Ma and Pa both had heart attacks because of teenagers' hateful rap music and were in fact not murdered. Both of them have haunted their store since then, never letting any teenager leave the store unscarred.

Then came the day that Danny and Dani showed up after a group of Japanese magical girls showed up and got into the store. Needless to say the only one that managed to get out was the young pink haired future daughter of the leader of the group. While both Ma and Pa are much stronger then either Danny and Dani, it was only while they're inside their store. Which Danny pointed out and that he's more then willing to blow off the roof of the store and tear down the walls to depower them. The ghost couple release the girls and promise not to torture teenagers who enter their store.

But once it became known that the store is being haunted by the couple that once owned the store. It became a tourist attraction, which help their business as they reopen the store. All the food items in the store had long gone bad, so they had to reorder their entire stock. They couldn't just use their ghost powers to make it look like the food is still good anymore. Of course being a tourist attraction had its down side as they have to deal with teenagers again. On the other hand they are visited by other ghosts from the Ghost World. With Scratch telling them that once they crossover to the Ghost World they can open a store in the ghost world like they have in the living world.

"So, you both just had double heart attacks at once? Just because you heard rap music?" Ronnie ask Ma. She's there with Lincoln and Gwen who drove them to the store so they could question the two ghosts for Dib who is collecting information on the paranormal. And Gwen to pick up some drinks for the other adults.

"Yes, we never heard anything like that so hurtful music before," Ma said. In the background Pa is ringing up the strange faceless floating headed man, who change his mind as he was only buying a newspaper for the coupons. Which the paper didn't had.

"So how did you two end up as ghosts?" Lincoln ask.

"We're not sure. All we remember is waking up floating above our bodies," Ma said.

"And you and your husband are domain ghosts as in you two can only be powerful while in the place where you two died?" Lincoln ask.

"Oh yes, when we tried anything outside of the store it just doesn't work," Ma said.

"Hey Lincoln, Ronnie," Mabel said as she, Dipper and Wendy's friends came by to pick up some stuff before they went out on the Maw.

"What are you doing here?" Dipper ask.

"Trying to find out why she," Ronnie said pointing to Ma. "Became a ghost for Dib's studies."

"Why isn't he here?" Mabel ask.

"He and Clyde are busy helping to track down the A.I. that tried to infect XJ-5," Lincoln said.

"Really?" Dipper ask.

"His dad does work with her and her sisters. So he's helping," Lincoln said.

"We're going to the Maw and see a rock show," Mabel spoke up.

"Cool, I seen videos of the shows in the Maw," Lincoln said.

"We're going to be seeing Metallichiuaua," Dipper said.

"Yeah that song was great better then the shows your sister does," Ronnie said.

"At least she stops playing her music so loud after the cops were called in," Lincoln said. His family is still trying to make it up to him with him always pointing out that the only reason why child services weren't called in and his parents arrested was because of all the chaos that happen after the merge.

Bursting into the store is the young girl wearing the yellow raincoat that the kids have been seeing now and than, followed by a man dress in one of those hunting suits that covers him from head to toe. The girl runs into the back of the store while both Pa and Ma appeared in front of the man in the hunting suit. Who is Huntor who had tracked down Six while she was wandering around on the edge of the town, and tried to catch her but she managed to escape and lead him to the store.

"What do you want with her?" Pa asked transforming into his scary ghost form. The one of the things he hates more then teenagers is grown adults attacking children.

"Nothing much just that someone is paying to catch her," the man said before he pulls out a thermos and sucks Pa in like those ghost traps from Ghostbusters, then he turn the thermos on Ma sucking her in as well. Huntor then pulls out a handgun and fires it into the air scaring the people inside the store to hide or run outside.

The four kids ran to hide behind some selves as Huntor walk to the back of the store. Once he was out of sight, Wendy opens the front door of the store waving for the kids to ran out. Behind Wendy, her friends are hiding behind Robbie's car waving for her not to. The four kids made their way outside when Six came bursting out from the back of the store. Six ran for the door where Wendy is standing, when a shot rang out and the glass of the window shattered, causing Wendy to jump back as she avoided the broken glass flying in the air. And made it impossible for Six to run as she isn't wearing any shoes.

Huntor grab a display stand and threw it at the front door blocking Six's path. He aim his gun at Six, only for a beer bottle to hit his hand making him drop it. Another bottle stuck his helmet covering it in glass and beer, having been thrown by Gwen who was in the store and was hiding, threw the bottles once she saw what was going on.

Huntor growled as pulled out a knife and threw it at Gwen who duck out of the way. Wendy came rushing in, followed by her friends who seeing Huntor no longer has a gun grew some backbones and grabbing whatever they could use as a weapon. Wendy struck Huntor in the head with a stick that knock his helmet off. Before the others could join in, Huntor pulled out another gun and grab Wendy with the gun to her head. Seeing this Wendy's friends all turn back and ran out of the door.

"Some friends you have got there," Huntor said.

"Tell me about it," Wendy said getting what her parents said about them.

"I would had given them a free shot too. Now where's that little?" Huntor ask looking around for that girl her came for.

"Free shot?" Dipper ask stepping out from where he was hiding having flashbacks of Wendy in danger and this saving her like last time. Dipper began dancing and singing.

'Well... who wants a lamby, lamby, lamby?'

'I do! I do!'

'So, go up and greet your mammy, mammy, mammy.'

'Hi there! Hi there!'

'So march, march, march around the daisies.'

'Don't, don't, don't you forget about the ba-by!'

"What was that?" Huntor ask completely confused.

"A distraction!" Ronnie shouted as she, Lincoln and Mabel squeezed a bottle of hot sauce into Huntor's eyes causing him to scream and Gwen swung another bottle at Huntor's head causing him to let go of Wendy which Gwen pulled the younger girl to safety.

As Huntor was stumbling around blinded. He was grab from behind as something small grab onto him and he felt his very life force draining out of him. Six had grab onto his back and began draining him, causing Huntor to let go of Wendy as he tried to shake Six off of him. For Six it wasn't something she never had a problem to deal with before, as all the times that she suck out the life force of others it was quick and easy. Right now it was like trying to suck water from an ice cube, made harder by Huntor slamming his back into the displays and shelves.

"Got you," Huntor said as he finally got Six to let go of his back. Knocking her to the floor with his gun pointed at her.

"And you drop something," Lincoln said holding the thermos that held Ma and Pa which he open letting the two angry ghosts out.

"Crap," Huntor said as the two ghosts grabbed him and phase him down into the basement where they'll be able to really give it to him without scarring the kids.

"Hi again," Lincoln said to Six who look away and ran off like she did last time.

"Wendy are you ok?" Robbie ask as he and the others came back into the store.

"No thanks to you guys," Wendy said see her friends aren't really her friends as they'll leave her when she's in danger.

"Looks like the cops are here," Gwen said hearing the police car outside.

"So much for our plan to see a show," Dipper said.

Tartarus -

Level 5 where the most dangerous prisoners are kept. A special room was design, made out of plastic to keep earth benders from using their powers. Kuvira is kept in one having been transferred to the prison under heavy guard. She was given over to the US government to handle by the Element nations after the merge caused much confusion. Which the Earth Kingdom became apart of after the merge.

"Still have no idea when the court date is going to happen? I'm starting to think people have forgotten me," Kuvira said laying on her bed in her cell. Standing in front of her cell are Lin and Suyin.

"Things are still a mess. Many cities and villages are just abandoning the Earth Kingdom and joining the US," Lin said.

"And why wouldn't they? They're getting food, supplies, and protection from the US government that they're not getting elsewhere. Saw it too often during the campaign people siding with me, for safety and what they need to survive. Besides, with what I have seen so far, we're way behind in standards of living," Kuvira said.

"You sound like you have finally accepted responsibility for your actions," Suyin said who hasn't forgiven Kuvira.

"No, more like a review and seeing someone doing it much better than, I did," Kuvira said pointing to the newspaper in her cell.

"I'm surprise that they allowed you to have it," Lin said.

"Reward for good behavior. The prisoners who behave are allowed to have some comforts," Kuvira explains. "Since coming here and getting my hands on a newspaper, I have been keeping up on news of Sunset Shimmer and how she took a backwater kingdom, that was in ruins, taking the throne from her mother, bringing order to a kingdom in the grips of chaos. Dragging the backwater kingdom into the modern world, all while kicking and screaming as she does. It makes me reflect and see how what, I did was wrong. I should had done it like Sunset did."

"What?" Suyin asked.

"I should had made deals and made allies instead of what, I did. I'm a general not a ruler, what, I seen Sunset has done with nothing but her wits and skills in politics. And she's just a child who used what little she knows, to allow her to make herself into a ruler. She has showed me that, I was nothing more than a warlord compared to Sunset," Kuvira said. "It's really humbling thinking of how she would had taken over the Earth Kingdom to save it from itself."

"Save it from itself? What are you talking about?" Suyin asked.

"I was a warlord but I was also the only thing keeping order and keeping worse from preying on the towns and villages. You have any idea how many bandits and would be warlords, I had to deal with," Kuvira asked.

"Still doesn't excuse your actions," Suyin said.

"Better doing than nothing. You have any idea how many fan letters, I have been getting? " Kuvira said.

"You have fans?" Lin ask.

"Many saying that what, I did was in the right in taking over to stop the Earth Kingdom from breaking up into smaller kingdoms. I do admit that I should had made some changes in how I did things. But I will not ask forgiveness for my conquest. I did what I had to. If it wasn't for me the Earth Kingdom would had been a lawless land, that you all would had to finally had to deal with yourselves, instead of the state that I left it," Kuvira said.

"So, you're not sorry for anything you done," Suyin asked.

"I tried and failed, which is more than you would had done," Kuvira pointed out.

"Lin we're leaving," Suyin said walking away.

"How are things for the Element Nations?" Kuvira asked.

"Not well as many are taking up other cultures and are now apart of other countries," Lin said.

"I figure that would happen. The merge has changed everything, new people, never races, new technologies, and Korra abandoned being the avatar not wanting to have everyone looking to her to solve things. This world isn't anything like ours anymore, and I wouldn't have it any other way," Kuvira said.

Author's Notes -

1 - The Deer Woman, sometimes known as the Deer Lady, is a spirit in various forms of Native American mythology that is primarily associated with fertility and love. Though primarily shown as a benign spirit, she is also shown to lure promiscuous men to their death. She appears as either a beautiful young woman or deer.

2 - I'm going with the Truffula Trees being like the real life cotton trees. Just that where the leaves should be is the cotton. As to how that works, this is Dr. Seuss we're talking about and how his worlds are design, it's stranger than Wonderland.
