Hello fellow Rocketmen and Rocketwomen, welcome to the first chapter of Goodbye Rocketman. This story will be a retelling of Star vs The Forces Of Evil and will feature a different protagonist and a slightly different storyline. The story in this will follow a more serious tone than the original storyline mostly because the new protagonist will be much more serious than Marco was. But don't worry this story will still have it's fun and quirky moments so it won't be all ultra serious and stuff. As for the original protagonist, Marco, he will be reduced to a minor character so if you really like him, uh sorry? He will make appearances I swear! So don't kill me! Anyways let's get on with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Star vs The Forces Of Evil. I only own my OC's.

Chapter 1: The Rocketman With Emo Hair, Part I
"Thank you all for coming! You've been a great crowd but I'm late for school haha. No seriously I need to get going." I announced to a grimy rundown pub, filled with people who weren't even paying attention to me. They just had their heads down on their tables, or were just staring off into space with blank eyes. They were probably drug addicts or somethin'.
Hey my name is Chris Miles. I'm a 16 year old high school student that's a punk, troublemaking, and no good kid, or at least that's what people tell me haha I don't mind it though. I'm currently in a Post-Hardcore band called A Moonlit Suicide. I am the vocalist/rhythm guitarist in the band. We just finished a show in a pub with an overwhelming 7 people, it's a new record for us! I was supposed to be at school 30 minutes ago but you know what they say, the show must go on! Anyways let me introduce you to the rest of the band, eh?
First there is me. I have the appearance of what people would call an "emo" even though that is totally not what I am. My black hair is a shy eye haircut or what others would call an "emo" haircut with bangs covering my left eye, my eyes are a emerald green and I wear a gray beanie on my head, I have a green glow stick necklace, a black zip up hoodie which I like to keep zipped up at all times, I wear a white t-shirt underneath, black cargo jeans, white skate shoes, and black fingerless gloves. I am the vocalist/rhythm guitarist in the band.
Then there is our lead guitarist Roxie Graves. She is 15 years old and has the most gothic 'rock star' appearance out of all of us in the band. She has messy black hair that reaches midway down her back, her hair has green, blue, and purple highlights. She has two bottom lip ring piercings, green eyes, and unusually pale white skin. She wears a black shirt that is much too big for her. Her left side of her shirt slants over her shoulder to reveal a black bra strap. Her fingernails are painted black, she wears a black skirt and big black gothic boots. Her black shirt has the design of red broken heart on it. Out of all of us in the band, she is considered to be the biggest troublemaker.
Next is our bassist, Cory La Villa. Everyone in the band in the band is jealous or his ridiculously awesome name. But anyways he has short messy blonde hair and blue eyes. He likes to wear a mint green t-shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers. He is considered the 2nd most responsible in the band. He does well in school too. He is 16 years old.
Then there is Kyle Simmons, he plays keyboards/synthesizers in our band. He is the most responsible in the band and the smartest too. He is also very nerdy and does the mixing of our songs. He has short well kept black hair and blue eyes. He wears a red button-up t-shirt with a shirt pocket on it, light brown jeans and black sneakers. He also has thick black glasses. Out of all of us he does the best, straight A student. He is 17 years old.
Finally is our drummer, Matty Miller. He is the oldest in the band being 23 years old. He obviously doesn't go to our high school. He went to college for a bit but then dropped out to focus on his previous band but he ended up leaving that band due to creative differences. We asked him if we wanted to join us after our own previous drummer left our band because of rising tensions. He agreed since our band was one of the only local bands that actually ok. Our parents don't like him but he is a pretty cool guy. He has long brown hair and a full grown beard. He kinda looks like a homeless guy. He wears a green hoodie which he never keeps zipped up, a brown t-shirt underneath his hoodie, has green cargo pants, and brown hiking boots. He has brown eyes and he has history of drinking alcohol but our parents don't know that.
Now then, now that the introductions are out of the way we can move on with the story. We just barely finished up our show in the pub which no one payed any attention to by the way, we are now getting our equipment packed up and-
"Hey Chris come on dude help us pack up! Are you writing in that journal again?"
I sighed at the sound of Kyle's voice yelling at me. I closed my journal and made my way to the band which were frantically getting their instruments into our bands white van...or at least Kyle was.
"Come on Chris!" Kyle yelled at me. "We are gonna be late for school!"
"We are already late stupid." I heard Roxie say behind me. "30 minutes late as a matter a fact."
Kyle got a look of shock on his face. "WHAT!? WE NEED TO GO NOW!" Kyle then ran over to Roxie and grabbed her arm and started pulling her to the van.
"Ow! Don't grab my arm like that stupid! And why are you so worried, school sucks anyways."
"First of all school doesn't suck, second of all I can NOT be late again because if I do I'll get grounded!"
"You're 17 and still get grounded? What a loser dude!"
Kyle and Roxie continued arguing with each other while I made my way towards the van to find Matty in the drivers seat in the van. I went over and sat in the passengers seat.
"Those two still arguing?" Matty asked me.
"Yup just like always"
I heard someone getting in the back of the van putting equipment in it. It was Cory.
"Hey Cory could you get those two lovebirds to stop arguing and get in the van?" Matty asked him.
He sighed. "Yup sure thing."
after a couple of minutes everyone was in the van and we made our way towards our school.
"Oh man, oh man I'm so gonna get grounded." Kyle said, constantly checking his watch.
"Don't worry dude it's just around the block." Matty assured him.
I just sat there trying to remember what class I had to go to. I didn't mind school and I wasn't a perfect student, I got C's and B's not many A's though. I am considered a troublemaker though, I do things like write on walls, mess with teachers, and cause trouble in class. The school has talked to me to find out why I do this. I just do it because I'm just angry all the time. The van suddenly stopped and Kyle burst out the van .
"byeguysseeyouinclass!" We heard him yell as he disappeared through the schools doors.
"I-I've got to hurry too so uh, see ya guys in class too." Cory said as he rubbed the back of his head. He gave us an awkward wave as he also made his way towards the school.
"Make sure to get those two after school ends. We've got another show at 6." Matty told us.
"Yeah sure thing, see ya Matty." Roxie answered him.
Matty said goodbye to us then he drove away leaving me and Roxie there.
"Well I'm gonna go hang out in the back of the school. I'm not going to class today. So yeah you know we're to find me." Roxie told me.
"Alright" I simply answered her.
Roxie just sighed. "Come on dude seeing you depressed all the time isn't very fun to see."
"I'm not depressed I'm-"
"Angry, yeah I know." Roxie cut me off.
"Whatever Roxie, our shows and songs have gotten better with me like this anyways."
"So? You being like this worries your family and the rest of the band too." Roxie then put a hand on my shoulder. "You gotta move on dude. She would want you to."
I shook off her hand and just stared at the ground. I didn't respond to her.
"Tch! Whatever I'm just trying to help." Roxie then stormed off leaving me alone in front of the school.
I pulled out my wallet and pulled out a photo of my family. It was a picture of us in woods, taken by the dad's brother. We looked so happy in the photo, especially my little sister...
I just rubbed my temples and put the photo and my wallet away and started walking towards the school. I looked at my watch and saw that class started about 45 minutes ago.
I felt my phone vibrate and I pulled it out to see that is was a text from one of my friends.
Jackie: "Hey dude were are you? Class started forever ago!"
Me: "Yeah I know. I'm on my way."
Jackie: "K then hurry up. :P"
I put my phone away to continue walking and then immediately I got another text from another one of my friends.
Janna: "Dude what the heck! Why aren't you here! :("
Me: "I know! I know! Jackie just told me the same thing!"
Janna: "Ohhh that's who she was texting. Lol the teacher yelled at her XD"
Me: "Yeah well I'm on my way k?"
Janna: K gotta go the teacher is yelled at me now XD"
I put my phone away and ignored another text that I got. It was from Oskar but I didn't bother replying back, it was the same at the last two texts anyways. I made my way towards my class but the only problem is, is that I have to pass the principals office on the way there. If he saw me I was probably gonna get in trouble. As I made my way there I saw the principal had his door open but the lights of his room were flashing on and off.
"...And you told me earth didn't have magic." I heard a female voice say.
"Magic? What the heck." I muttered to myself.
I went and stood in front of the office doors to see what was happening. And boy did I see a strange sight. I saw the principle talking to two people who looked like they were a king and a queen. What the heck is happening?
The king then pulled out a treasure chest and opened it to show a ton of gold and jewels! I was dumbfounded at the sight! Someone could become rich with that much money! It seemed that they were offering the chest to the principal. But why? My head started to hurt, it couldn't comprehend what was happening. Principal Skeeves took the chest without question.
"Star is gonna need a guide." The king said.
Star? I then noticed a young girl with them. She looked very odd. I'm guessing she's star.
"A guide? Of course!" Principal Skeeves then reached for his intercom. To call a student to be a guide I'm guessing. But before his hand could reach his intercom he noticed me standing in the hallway and a smile appeared on his face.
"Oh crap!" I thought in my head.
"Ah! Mr. Miles could you come in here for a second?" He asked me.
Then the king, queen, and star turned to look at me standing in the hallway eyeing me curiously.
"Why do I have a bad feeling suddenly?" I thought to myself as I hesitantly took a step inside his office. Little did I know that when I got into that office, my life would change forever...
And there goes the first chapter! Also fun fact, I wrote this during the Star Vs. The Forces Of Evil Monster-B-Gone Marathon.
Make sure to leave a review! Anything is appreciated excluding reviews full of rage.
Also if anyone is good at drawing then I'm looking for someone to draw Chris and his band mates. If someone does it then you can have an OC in this story or whatever you want. If it isn't crazy that is.
The name of this chapter was inspired by the song: The Robot With Human Hair Pt. 1, by the band Dance Gavin Dance. A lot of these chapter names are inspired by songs to fit in with the theme of Chris being in a band. As a matter a fact this story was inspired by the band Jamie's Elsewhere. Yup this story was inspired by a band, a great one at that.
Anyways I'll let you guys get back to doing whatever you were doing before you started reading this. Have a great day guys! Stay Safe! :)
