In a foreign dimension, a young princess awoke in a kingdom called, Mewni. This princess was Star Butterfly. Just like any normal day Star awoke with her hair a mess from the previous night of tossing and turning in bed. Today however would be much different for Star as it was her birthday, but not just any birthday, her eleventh birthday.
Star got ready for the day and prepared to head out for some exploration like usual, as she had already celebrated with her only real friend at the time, princess Pony Head, the day before. Pony Head was going on vacation today, and therefore couldn't attend a party on Star's actual birthday. Star was fine with this as she never liked to have big parties anyway, even if her parents attempted to spoil her as much as possible on this day of the year.
When she reached the door, she heard a slight shuffle from the other side of the door. Instinctually Star froze where she stood and started creeping silently to the door. She stood to the side and twisted the knob, opening the door just slightly, waiting to see if anything would enter. Instead she was bombarded with a cacophony of voices yelling "Surprise!" Star, realizing what was happening, laughed and appeared in the doorway to see the entire castle staff waiting outside her giant room with an eleven tier cake in their arms. "Aww you guys shouldn't have." said Star. "Nonsense, it's not every day you turn eleven young princess." said the head guard. "Now your parents are waiting for you at the feast m'lady." Star sighed and followed the stampede of workers, turns out she might not get to go monster hunting after all.
After the avalanche of gifts were dealt with and the staff had finished pampering her, Star finally found herself alone with her parents. "Star honey, there's something we need to tell you." said her Queen Butterfly. Star gulped, this usually didn't end well as she knew from experience. This statement was usually followed by a long winded scold for her reckless hobbies. Honestly who could blame her for having a spirit of adventure when she was practically raised by the castle guards. "What is it?" she replied in an innocent tone. Her father than replied, "Well it's recently come to our attention that you are very anxious to get your wand and start learning magic, and we've decided that making you wait until your fourteenth birthday, as we had originally planned, may be unnecessary." Star then performed a double take, could it be possible that her parents had just said what she thought they did? They were going to give her her wand before she turned fourteen. The only words Star could utter were "Wait, what?!"
"Well, we think it is important that you learn how to use your magic properly, and an opportunity has presented itself that we would find unreasonable to refuse." followed her mother.
"You mean I'm actually gonna get to do magic!" Star exclaimed with excitement etched in her voice.
"Yes that's exactly what we're saying, but there is a condition"
"Surely it can't be that bad, right?" Star said, growing worried
"Well" her mother said "you would have to live on Earth for the next seven years."
At this Star proceeded to drop into the couch behind her and drop her head into her hands. "So I can learn magic, but I won't get to see you for seven years?" Star said beginning to question whether or not this was a good idea. She had heard many things about Earth but none of them were particularly good. All she knew was that the people there often liked to kill each other and that there was no magic or magical creatures. Wait, if there was no magic on Earth why would she go there to learn it? Suddenly it dawned on her that her parents must be trying to trick her into leaving. "Wait a second, there's no magic on Earth" she said in an accusing manner "are you guys trying to trick me?"
"Actually sweety you would be able to see us for 2 weeks in the cold season, 1 in the beginning of the warm season and for several weeks in the second half of the warm season." The mewmans needed to find a better way to describe seasons, she thought. "Also it turns out there actually is magic on Earth, but most human don't know of it's existence, only the witches and wizards, or their families know about magic." Star pondered this for a moment, but still questioned if her parents' intentions were true. "Well off to bed sweetie, you can think about it more tomorrow."
Star sat in bed thinking about the world changing news she had received after dinner. The more she thought about it the more curious Star became of what other secrets Earth might have if it really did have magic that was kept hidden for so long. Star began to pile a list of questions down in her journal that she would ask her parents tomorrow. Star may not have realized it, but she had already made up her mind about travelling to Earth, it would be a whole new place for her to explore, and she didn't have to worry about there not being magic.
