HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO DIMENSION HOPPERS!


So, before Dimension Hoppers became the way it is today, it was originally called Parallel Dimensions (weird name tbh). Marco was a boy and Star was a girl. I had this idea in 2017 while I was in 8th grade.

Here's the summary:

Marco had an average teen's life. Everything about him was average. Nothing interesting was happening. All of a sudden, he finds himself in some weird dimension with monsters who worship some penguin thing. Just as he was about to be boiled alive, a certain blond girl comes out of nowhere just in time to save him. Suddenly, he's dragged into many dimensions with her as she completes her mission and punishment: to close all of the wondering dimensions. Almost dying everytime sounds like fun, right?

Here's all I had typed out:

"Marco!" I heard mom cry. I ran downstairs. "Yeah? What is it now, mo...what is she doing here?" Standing in between mom and dad was the blonde girl from earlier...except she looked just like...a princess...

"Marco, I want you to meet Princess Star Butterfly of Mewni. She will be living with us until her parents feel like she is ready to become queen," mom said. Star curtsied and said, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Marco Diaz. Sorry for intruding into your home". Oh...now she's being polite!

"Did you...hit your head...? Because you're acting...differently from last time..." I asked slowly. "Have you met each other before?" Dad asked. "Yeah, it was when I was pulled into a...you know what never mind," I answered. Star smiled at me and I glared. "You know, ever since Marco was a little boy, whenever there was a girl around, he would always act like he was a tough guy! I even have pictures to prove!" Mom said, walking over to get the album. "Hahahaha...don't we gotta bring her stuff upstairs...?" I cried, trying to change her mind.

The idea was actually inspired by a fanfic that I read on here. As I was starting to plan it out, I decided to have Star keep it a secret that she (it was a she at the time) is from Mewni. I gotta confess. I never really understood why in the original show everyone was ok with the fact that Star was some alien princess. If it were the real world, she woulda been dragged to Area 51. Also the whole dimension thing confused me. Planet sounds like a better term than dimension but I'm not the creator. Still, I went on and planned it out. Then I forgot about it since at the time I was working hard on my Celestial Precure story. I think I was rewritting it.

Later on in 2017, I was finally a Freshman in high school by this time. I was looking at fan art since at the time I was hella obsessed with fan art (home gurl thought she could draw). That was when I landed on a series of drawings of Star as a boy and Marco as a girl. I thought that was hella cute. Then I asked myself "What if their genders were reversed?" I didn't see any stories with their genders reversed and I like to be original so I decided to go for it.

Here's the summary for it:

What if Star is a boy and Marco is a girl?

Macaria Diaz is a 14 year old girl who often tries to not be like the other girls...which ends up with her getting picked on. But she doesn't care, But, what she does care about is a different life. A life where there aren't rules of society, like girls must look like models for example. With her Quinciñera coming up, everything gets worse. One day, a blonde boy named Star Butterfly (weird name for a boy) who claims he's from Mewni arrives at school and already everyone is all over him. Not Macaria. Well, unfortunately...he is living with her...which makes her life a lot more harder.

By accident, she is sucked into a portal which leads her to a strange dimension along with Star...and finds out that he is actually a prince from a kingdom called Mewni and that in order to become king, he must close the dimension that are opened by a strange beast called the Maßöffner and capture it. Sounds like fun, right? It's a girl who always almost ends up getting killed and a guy most likely to care. They'll be fine...

Then I decided to make Marco, sorry, Macaria, a popular girl. That was also when I changed the name from Parallel Dimensions to Dimension Hoppers. Then I didn't work on it until the beginning of 2018. I was still a Freshman and I remember typing up the story during my study hall period.

This is what I had:

It was as if the world was black and white for Macaria Diaz.

At 5am, Macaria would wake up, pray, brush her teeth, take a bath, get dressed, do her hair and make up, and quickly run out of the house to catch the bus. 7:20am is when she would be at school and when it would start. She would go to all her classes and blend in with the other girls. Once school ended at 2:10pm, she would go to her after school job at the Karate Dojo. She would come home around 7pm and eat something and lounge around for her 30 minutes free time. At 7:30pm, she would do her homework. Depending on when she finishes, after that, she would take a bath, get dressed for bed, pray, then go to sleep. And the process would repeat every day.

Like right now.

"*Alyssa...snooze..." she mumbled as she rolled in her bed. She honestly didn't feel like dealing with today. Macaria slowly closed her eyes. 5 minutes later, Alyssa rang again, telling her it's 5:05am and that she really needs to get up and get ready for school.

She groaned as her slim legs lazily dragged her off the bed. Macaria did a quick prayer and got up to walk to the bathroom. She turned on the lights and groaned. "Ah...my eyes..." After adjusting to the light, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her chocolate brown hair was a huge mess and her matching brown eyes looked very sleepy. She noticed the beauty mark under her eye. She never really liked it. She sighed and took her toothbrush from the cup.

Finally, Macaria was finished getting ready and looked at her full body mirror, hoping she looked decent enough. After adjusting her black skirt, she grabbed her bookbag and walked out of her room. The rest of the house was dark, but that was to be expected. It's early morning. She quietly ran downstairs and put a NutriBar in her book bag. Once she was certain she wasn't forgetting anything, she left the house and ran to the bus, just like every morning, and just like every morning, she barely makes it.

"Hey girl, hey!" Brittney Wong, her "friend" cried as soon as she saw Macaria walk down the hall. "Happy birthday! Here's your present!" Macaria cried, handing Brittney the *Veronica's Secret bag she was holding. "Don't forget, I'm having a party on the party bus! Anyone who's anyone is going to be there!" Brittney explaimed as she took the bag.

"Happy Birthday!" Chantal cried, appearing behind Macaria. Chantal gave her a bag from *Bath and Body Working and Brittney took it. "So, we need to plan out my party!" Brittney cried. The 3 starred walking down the hallway as Brittney was talking. From the corner of her eyes, Macaria noticed 2 nerd looking girls who honestly seemed to be having fun. Must be nice...Macaria thought. When she looked up, she noticed Jackson Thomas with his best friend, John Ordonia. John must have told Jackson something funny because Jackson is laughing.

His laugh, it's so beautiful, Macaria thought. Jackson then noticed Macaria. "What's up, Diaz?" He asked. Macaria, surprised but hiding the fact that she is surprised, waved back at him before turning to listen to Brittney's chattering. "...and then we're going shopping-" "Um, Brittney, I don't think I can go shopping with you guys," Macaria quickly said. "Why not?" Brittney asked. "Because I have work," Macaria answered. "Oh. Well, I'll send you the pic of the dress I want you to be wearing. Anyway, back to what I was talking about, I was all like..." Brittney continued talking.

Macaria honestly didn't feel like going to Brittney's party. In fact, she hates parties but, she must act like she likes them. Macaria sighed. She knew that if it weren't for her parents, she wouldn't even be in this mess.

You see, when Macaria was first starting school, they told her her life plan and how it was going to work so this moment, it was planned by her parents. She was to become friends with the most popular girl in the whole school, and that girl happens to be Brittney who is also hella rich which means as long as she's friendly with Brittney, they can use the Wong family to their advantage.

The first period bell rang and everyone started going to their classes. Jackson came up to Macaria. "You wanna skip?" He asked. "No, I have to get to class. You should too," Macaria said, turning around so she wouldn't see his face because she knew if she saw his face, she would stutter. She has had a crush on him for like, ever, and it was not on her parent's life plan for her to have a crush on some boy so she is trying to deny the fact that she likes him. Unknown to her, however, as she walked away, Jackson laughed and mumbled, "What a cute, good girl..."


The trumpets played and the flags flew high and proud in the clear blue skies of Mewni. The citizens were crowded at the walls of the castle, awaiting the royal coronation. Those outside the walls were ready. Those inside, however, weren't.

Queen Moon Butterfly banged on her son's bedroom door. "Star? It's time for your coronation, we're just waiting for you to finish up," she announced while banging. Realizing that hey, she's a parent, she opened the door and simply walked in. Surrounding her son were the maids who were working on his look. They had finished and they back up as Prince Star Butterfly admired himself in the mirror.

"I be looking tight!" Star cried. Moon, not even bothering to understand the language of today's youth, went up to her son and fixed his soft blonde hair. "You look beautiful. And royal," she said. She then leaned over to his ear and whispered, "Don't do anything stupid at the ceremony." She turned to leave and, after high fiving the maids who helped him, Star followed behind.

"When the future king or queen turns 15, it shows that they have reached the age to rule. Star, you have reached that age and you will celebrate your birthday with this coronation. 3 days after your coronation, once things have settled, all of the finnest women from all over Mewni will come in hope for you to choose one of them to rule beside you as queen," Moon had explained. She continued explaining and Star continued to tune her out just like he had been earlier. He has to admit, he does have it easier than many people, but he just doesn't want to rule a whole world. All he wanted to do was do what he had been doing before the whole ccoronation buisiness: going to many other dimensions, hitting on girls, fighting monsters, going to parties, you know, all that good stuff.

The 2 arrived at 2 big golden double doors where King River Butterfly was waiting for his wife and son. "Star! Magnificent! You look like a king!" River cried, patting his son hard on the back. "And you're getting fat, old man!" Star cried, patting his father harder on the back. The two continued saying things as they pat each other on the back harder and harder.

Moon cleared her throat, causing the 2 men to notice her. "All the guests have arrive, I believe it's time to start," she said. "Oh yeah! Star! I forgot to mention this to you. Don't do anything stupid at the ceremony," River warned his son. "Again!?" Star answered.

River and Moon both gave Star a hug and the doors opened, letting the 2 of them walk into the church. The choir were singing like angels and everyone stood up as River and Moom walked by each row of pews.

Star took a deep breath and walked into the church as well. Everyone bowed as he walked by. Finally, he was at the front where his parents and the bishop were waiting. He kneeled down.

"Prince Starious Butterfly of Mewni, do you swear to guide and protect the mighty Kingdom of Mewni?" The bishop asked. "I do," Star answered.

"Do you swear to always remain loyal to your kingdom?"

"I do."

"Do you swear to listen to the needs of your people?"

"I do."

After a few more "do you swear" and a few "I do", very, agonizingly, hella slowly, the bishop proceeded to crown Star with the big golden, red and fuzzy king crown. Once it was just a nanometer away from his head, the doors slammed open. Standing in the doorway was the gatekeeper. He seemed annoyed and out of breath.

"STAAAAARRRRR!" He yelled. "Dude, what did you do to get him mad this time?" River whispered to his son. "I mean, I did take a pic or two of him and his date you know, 'cuddling' with each other. I'm selling it on the black market," Star whispered back. "*gasp* Star!" Moon whispered.

The gatekeeper walked up to Star. "Look man, I know you're still hella pissed at me. Lemme tell you, I'm sorry. Now, we forgive and forget that this ever happend, yeah?" Star suggested. The gatekeeper punched Star, causing him to fall onto a row of pews. The gaurds suddenly became on alert and pointed their spears at the gatekeeper as everyone gasped. Was this an act of treason...?

"Prince Star Butterfly! Do you know what you have done!?" The gatekeeper yelled at him. "Yeah! I'm sorry for taking dirty pictures of you and you date, alright!? But you didn't have to mess up my whole coronation because of that!" Star yelled back at him. "How stupid can you be!? You were playing with the Key of Mewni!" The gatekeeper yelled.

"Key of Mewni? The fuck is that? I was never playing with any damn key. I was playing with a wand, duh," Star simply answered. Moon fainted and River quickly caught her. "Star, you are not supposed to play with that! That wand is the Key of Mewni! Only the greatest warrior in all of Mewni is aloud to weild that wand!" River yelled.

"Aren't you the greatest warrior?" Star asked. "Duh," River answered. "Then how come I don't see you with the wand, eh?" Star asked. "Because there is no threat. Since there isn't there is no need for me to weild it. Anyone messing with ot, I wouldn't be concerned but since it's you..." River changes from a calm tone to a pissed tone, "I MUST GO BACK TO WEILDING THE WAND AND FIGHTING THE EVIL THAT YOU HAVE AWOKEN!" "Ohh...oops...hey...at least now I can fight with you in a war..." Star answered quietly.

No longer feeling like dealing with his knuckleheaded son, River turned to the gatekeeper. "So, what has Star awaken now?" "Not just awaken. Released," the gatekeeper said. River gulped. "Ok, which is..." "Are..." Gatekeeper corrected. "Are..." River repeated. "He has released the Maßöffner. And, he has awaken Ludo," The gatekeeper said.

"Well, Ludo's annoying, but the Maßöffner is a huge threat. And you're saying Star released it?" River asked. The gatekeeper nodded. "Which means..." River started. "Yep. Star cannot be king until he captures the Maßöffner. And, we have no choice but to give him the wand not only to capture the Maßöffner, but to protect it from Ludo," the gatekeeper finished.

Star earned a glare from his father. "So...what I'm getting is that there is a monster on the loose and I have to slay it so I can be king? Wow, I've been capturing monsters before I could even walk! This will be easy!" Star said. River sighed and put his hand on Star's shoulder.

"Star, my stupid, stupid son. The Maßöffner is not like the other monsters you have defeated. You actually need to have a brain, that's the main thing needed. The Maßöffner is an ancient monster. If our ancestors were only able to seal it up instead of killing it, what makes you think that you could kill it?" River asked. "I don't know," Star said, shrugging.

"Then why are you acting like an idiot?" The gatekeeper asked. "Because, whether I kill it or not is all in the future. The future is unpredictable which makes it hella fun! Now, the fuck is the wand?" Star explained.

The gatekeeper reached into his cape and hesitantly gave it to Star, who eagerly took it.

"Now, you are to go to Earth..." the gatekeeper started.

"Go to Earth," Star repeated.

"Capture the Maßöffner..."

"Capture the Maßöffner."

"And come straight back here for your coronation."

"And come straight back here for coronation. Yeah, I gots it. Why do you think I won't come straight here? Who wouldn't want to be king?" Star asked. "Well...young prince, I know you haven't gone to Earth before but on Earth, there is a posibility that you might fall in love with a human and that would cause some trouble," the gatekeeper said.

Star laughed. "Me? In love with a human! Hahahahahaha! Don't make me laugh. According to the books in mom's library, humans are weaklings and can't do anything to save themselves. They are so weak that aliens don't even want to invade Earth. Why would I fall in love with one?" Moon, who is now back to normal, sighed. "Young Star doesn't understand love, how cute! But do know that you are not allowed to return to Mewni until the Maßöffner is captured. And the royal army will deal with Ludo. Now, someone please buy him some Earth clothes and create a backstory for him," Moon ordered, walking off.

A day later, Star was standing in front of the Gates of Mewni. "So this is how Earthlings dress...it's complete trash," Star commented. "Remember your backstory," Moon told him, "Your name is Alistar Baardsen and you are from Oslo, Norway. You are a foreign exchange student attending Echo Creek Academy in Echo Creek, Los Angeles, California, USA. Your host family consists of a father, mother, and a daughter named Macaria. Their surname is Diaz. You and Macaria will have the same classes and she will help you get used to Earth culture. Secretly, you will be looking for the Maßöffner and you are not to reveal your real identity."

"Yeah, I got it. What's Norway? Another dimension?" Star asked. "It's a country on Earth, now go!" The gatekeeper cried, pushing the future king into the portal. "We're free of him. You wanna hit the spa or something?" The gatekeeper asked Moon.


In the dojo, Macaria didn't notice her boss staring at her.

Sensei Brantley remembers the first time her parents brought her to the dojo. She didn't even want to be in the class. She would always cry and would sit there. Brantley was then helping his mother at her dojo and he honestly thought that Macaria was a crybaby. But one day, Macaria finally realized that there was no point in her crying and so she got up and punched a punching bag to release her anger.

The bag had fallen to the floor.

Brantley smirked.

Everyday after school, she would come to the dojo and she became the best of the best students. Now, only 14, turning 15, she helps out at the dojo as her part time job and Brantley owns and works full time at the dojo.

He honestly thought she was the most beautiful thing there is, and he would have asked her out a long time ago...if he wasn't over 18. But, once she hits 18, that's the first thing he would do. That, and spend the night with her of course. The thought of spending a whole night with her made him-

"Um, boss?" Macaria asked. "Hm? Oh, yes, Macaria?" Brantley asked. "My shifts over," she said. "Oh! Have a good day! Happy early birthday!" Brantley said. "You'll be turning 15, you guys have quinciñeras, right?" Brantley asked. "Yeah. And my birthday is months from now, so you don't need to wish me happy birthday," Macaria said. "I know. Hard to believe you're still 14," Brantley answered. "How so?" Macaria asked as she took her hair down from the ponytail it was in. Brantley watched as her wavy chocolate brown hair fall.

Realizing he was staring, he cleared his throat. "Well, you act very mature for your age. You are chill about every little thing, kids call you 'mother' and even though you are only 5 foot 2, you look very grown up," he explained. Macaria thought about it. "I guess I do act mature for my age. Years of being a parent to my parants. Ima go change." "I'll drive you home," Brantley offered. "Oh, thank you," Macaria said.

So after that, I was all like I gotta plan this out so I started planning this out. During my Sophomore year, I was more active on Wattpad and I had even entered a story in the Wattys 2018 (it didn't make it very far). I had all sorts of story ideas and I was working on them. Eventually, I forgot about this story and the rest of my other fanfics. Like, I ocassionally updated but it wasn't a lot like I used to.

Eventually, it was January of 2019. My cousin was over and he had to go back to college the next day so I forced all of the kids in the house so watch a movie to celebrate his last day with us until Thanksgiving. We fureal took almost 3 hours trying to decide on a movie. That was when we chose Thor: Ragnarok. During that movie, I started getting all sorts of ideas for this story.

Here's what I came up with during the movie:

Heavy, booming footsteps were getting closer to the young, platinum blonde haired boy.

"Hello!? I been stuck in this cage for, like, weeks! Get me the fuck outta here!" He yelled.

The footsteps stopped. The dragon laughed. "You are funny for a lowly human!" "Don't you dare compare me to a human! I'm one of the universe's demigods! Ima Mewman!" The boy yelled. "And why would you, a Mewman, dare to venture into a dragon's lare!?" The dragon asked as he laughed. "Cuz you dragon folks gots lots of gold. I mean, I'm technically king of Mewni but I don't owns the gold, you know? I needs my own gold. Venus told me that yous gots some gold so I came here," the boy explained.

"Kid, haha, look around this cave! Of course I have gold, and you are not getting any. I am hungry. I think I should eat roasted human," the dragon said. "Mewman!" The boy corrected. The dragon rolled his eyes. "Prepare to be burned!"

"Wait, before you roast me, you wanna see a magic trick?" The boy asked. "Sure. What is is?" The dragon agreed. "Ima break outta these chains in under 10 seconds," the boy said. "Hahahahaha! Good luck with that! That is unbreakable steel made by a giant's blood! Not even my fire can burn it, and dragon's fire can burn anything!" The dragon cried, laughing.

"Ok. Prepare to be amazed!" His tan, muscular arms were chained behind his back. With a simple pull, the chains broke and the pieces went flying. "I did not even go pass 2 yet..." the dragon said, still surprised. The boy's laughter brought the dragon's attention back to him. "You say you are a Mewman, correct?" The dragon asked. "Yep," the boy answered, checking to make sure the indestructible golden cuffs he wore on his wrists do not have a dent in them (and thank goodness they don't). "Impossible! Even a normal Mewman would have trouble breaking through those chains! Who are you?" The dragon asked.

The boy smiked.

"The Demigod of the Skies. I am Prince Starious Sire Regulus Butterfly of Mewni. I really hate long names so let's shorten it to Star Butterfly. But, just call me Star."

The dragon blinked. "I have heard stories about a Mewman named 'Star the Destroyer'. He just takes what he wants, whenever he wants. He leaves destruction in his path. Perhaps you are the 'Star' everyone has been talking about?" The dragon asked. "Uh, damn right!" Star cried. He then put his right hand up. "Skyblade!" He yelled.

A golden spotlight started shining down on him and falling from the hole in the ceiling was a sword with a golden hilt that had golden angel wings. "Ohhh, I have heard about the famous Skyblade as well. But, alas, it is just a sword. My dragon's fire can still melt it!" The dragon cried. "Alright. Go for it. Lemme tell you this, though. Ima Mewman. And I'm the prince of Mewni. Soon to be king of Mewni. I'm even the wargod of the skies; I fucking rule the skies! And look, this is my Skyblade. The hilt was made from the tears of 1,001 fairies. And everyone knows that the tears of a fairy is an enchantment. The blade was made from real stardust. And real stardust is indestructible. This sword was made to be unbreakable and powerful," Star explained. "Stop confusing me!" The dragon yelled before breathing fire.

Star casually brought the sword up and the flames simply bounced off of the blade. "What!?" The dragon asked in disbelief. "I heard that a dragon's blood becomes rubies as soon as it comes out of the body. Let's see if it's true!" Star pondered before charging towards the dragon.

I was all like "Yaaaassssss!" To keep my idea running, I started watching all sorts of things both willingly and against my will. For example, I watched the Umbrella Academy willingly after I heard people in my class talk about it (which turned out hella good) and I watched On My Block against my will when my friend came over (which turned out hella good). As I was watching things, I was quickly planning out this story.

In 2 months, I had the whole entire story planned out from how it was gonna start to how it was gonna end. I also had season 1 (which at the time it wasn't season 1 since I wasn't really planning there to be seasons) all planned out. On my sister's birthday, I finally released the story that we all know today.

Here's the summary:

Prince Star Butterfly basically had it all. He'll be king of a planet and he's the Demigod of the Skies. One day, the sacred Wand of Mewni ended up releasing 1,001 ancient monsters called the Maßöffner. Star now must capture all of the Maßöffner before they destroy the whole universe and turns out he'll need the help of human Macaria Diaz. (Female Marco, Male Star)

All throughout season 1, season 2, and even now, I got influenced by thr things I read and watched and the things happening between me so I add them in. I finished reading Only Ashes Remain by Rebecca Schaeffer in one whole day just recently and already I got a bunch of ideas for season 3. I know this story isn't the best but I still love it anyway because I'm doing my own thing. If y'all know me on a personal level, I absolutely love doing my own thing. I get to put all of my work, creativity, ideas, and effort into it.


Before we go, thank you RJWrittingInk for reviewing! I'm glad you find the story interesting. And as for the comparison to Inuyasha, I never realized it was kinda similar to Inuyasha

Thank you so much for the 2,110 total views, 3 reviews, the 15 faves, and the 11 alerts. I know it doesn't sound like a lot but that actually means a lot to me. It's my way of knowing that people actually like this piece of shit. That motivates me. I hope I don't let any of y'all down during season 3. And who knows, I might even give Pando and Brittney their sequel.
