AN: Hello there, I'm Luma, and this is my first story. I'd really appreciate reviews so I can become a better writer. Either way, please enjoy "Star and Luma vs. the Forces of Evil"!

Chapter 1 - I'm a Butterfly?

"...Another boring day done," I thought as I laid down in my bed.

Night had just fallen in the rural town of Stony Creek, Pennsylvania. Like with most small towns, every day tended to blend together, and nothing really stood out in my daily routine.

Wake up, go to school, come home, watch TV, play games, chat on Discord, sleep, repeat.

Sure, we had some annual events like the Maple Festival, but I never really got too into stuff like that, as the almost literal "shy guy" I am.

I turned on NBC Sports Network which was airing an NHL playoff game. Currently the Blue Jackets were trailing against the Lightning; my Penguins don't play until tomorrow, when they face off against the Islanders.

By the second period I was asleep.

I found myself surrounded by a rainbow of colors.

"Why do I feel like I'm in Explorers of Sky?" I thought, confused.

Then a voice echoed, "A Butterfly born of the sea, brother of the rebel princess of Mewni; adventure awaits across every dimension, a wish granted for you, Prince of the Ocean…"

Brother? Rebel princess? A wish? Now I was even more confused than before.

Was I just referred to as "prince of the ocean"?

"Bro, wake up! Wake up! Today's our big day!"

"Unnnnhhhh… Is it game time yet?"

"No, silly! Today we get our wands! Did you forget or what?"

I then open my eyes to find a girl about my age looking at me with a huge smile on her face. She had blonde hair, was wearing a sky blue dress, and for some reason, there were pink heart-shaped marks on her cheeks.

"Umm… sure. I'll be right there," I said, still a bit groggy from sleep.

"Okay, bro! Mom and I will meet you in the throne room!" the girl said as she left my room.

I got out of my bed and immediately noticed my surroundings.

First of all, I was no longer in my regular room in Stony Creek. Instead, I was in a room that looked like it was meant for royalty.

I went over to my closet, and noticed it was filled with lots of regal-looking outfits. The one I picked was a sky blue colored suit with matching dress pants and shoes.

After changing I made my way to the throne room to meet up with that mysterious girl who called me her brother, receiving greetings from people on the way from people who for some reason called me "Prince Luma".

Once there, I was greeted by another woman wearing a blue dress, white hair, a diamond-shaped crown, and purple diamond cheek marks.

"Hello, son, are you excited about getting your own wand?" she asked me.

Apparently this woman was my mother. Strange.

"Okay, so I must be in some sort of alternate dimension then. I figure I'll just play along until I find out what happened, and go from there," I thought.

"Yeah, sure mom. I know my sister is, for sure. She woke me up early to make sure I'd be ready for today," I replied.

"Yeah, that sounds like Star, alright. She's been excited for months to learn magic."

Just then the doors at the other end of the throne room burst open, and my "sister", now known as Star, came barreling in on the back of what looked like a unicorn, before jumping off in front of us, the unicorn crashing through the wall behind us.

One of the nearby squires then told my "mom", "Queen Moon, looks like everyone's here. The ceremony can now begin, milady."

"Thank you Manfred," she replied before turning to address the gathering in the room.

"As you know, for centuries, the queens of Mewni have been using magic to protect our fine kingdom. Our magic wand is our most treasured family heirloom which is passed down from generation to generation, in order to train future queens in the ways of magic, and to become an excellent ruler of our great kingdom. Today is the day that my daughter, Princess Star Butterfly, is given our royal magic wand, so that she may one day become the next Queen of Mewni."

"However, my son, Prince Luma Butterfly, has also expressed interest in learning magic, and while it is true that princesses are more adept at learning magic, it's not unheard of for young princes to become experienced magic users, like our ancestor Juhstin the Uncalculated long ago. Therefore, the Magic High Commission and I have agreed to give an additional magic wand to our son Luma and let him learn magic like our daughter."

The crowd applauded at Moon's speech.

She then turned to me and Star and said, "Now Star and Luma, these wands are a big responsibility. If they fall into the hands of evil forces, the universe could be destroyed!"

Star simply grinned and said, "Don't worry Mom, I can handle it," then grabbed one of the wands while I was handed the other one.

Star's wand transformed into one with a pink circular base with a gold five pointed star in the center, surrounded by hearts on a night blue background. White wings sprouted from the base, and the handle was pink with a crystal blue heart at the bottom.

Mine, meanwhile, turned into a translucent sapphire blue sphere with a water droplet in its center. Like Star's wand, light blue wings sprout from the base. Unlike Star's wand, however, my wand's wings resembled a hawk, compared to Star's wand whose wings resembled a moth or butterfly. The handle was thin and colored somewhere between blue and purple.

After the ceremony Star went outside to practice with her new magic wand, while I wanted to wait a little bit before I started using magic, for fear of doing something tragic, like flooding the kingdom for instance.

Suddenly a commotion was heard outside, and me and my "parents" looked out of a balcony window to see people running for their lives and most of the village surrounding the castle on fire.

All of us immediately facepalmed.

"She can't handle it."
