Hey everyone! Hope you're doing well. If not, here's a fic!

Today's prompt is Original Concept where we go with Daron Nefcy's first idea of a girl with a hyperactive imagination obsessed with sailor moon and a boy who loves dragon ball.

Onwards!


Star ran through the field, holding a large stick and twirling it around. She grunted with every pose, dodging and pretending to fight an imaginary enemy. "Ha! Is that all you got?" The little girl ran towards a tree, swinging her stick all the while. "Sailor Mars, use fire soul! Quick!"

She jumped from the tree and rolled onto the ground. She ran towards a large boulder, jumping left and right, imagining her enemies close behind her. "You're no match for-"

"Kamehame-!"

The little girl turned around, looking behind the rock to see an equally confused boy the same age as her with a cute mole on his cheek.

They pointed at each other and spoke at the same time. "Who are you? Who am I? Who are you!?"

Star climbed the large rock and struck a pose, standing triumphantly at the top. "I asked first! I'm here to stop the forces of evil!"

"Woah! So you can help me fight Freeza then!"

"...Who?"

The boy tilted his head. "Freeza. He's an evil alien guy that wants to live forever! And he's going to destroy the planet if he doesn't get what he wants!"

"...What?"

"...You said you're here to stop evil, right?"

"Yeah, I need to stop Queen Beryl, quick! She's going to hurt Sailor Mars if I don't get help!"

Now the boy was confused. "...What are you talking about?"

Star jumped off the large boulder and placed her hands on her hips. "I said, I need to stop Queen Beryl from hurting Sailor Mars! She and I were fighting together but we got split up!"

"...What?"

The girl placed her hands on her hips, pouting. "Don't you know anything about Sailor Moon?"

"What the heck is a sailor moon?"

She gasped. "You don't know what Sailor Moon is? Only the best show ever!"

The boy scoffed. "No it's not. Dragon Ball is the best show ever. You get to fly, shoot energy at people, and fight really fast!"

"Sailor Moon does all that stuff, too! It's way better!"

"You never even saw Dragon Ball!"

She turned away from the boy. "So? I know Sailor Moon is better."

"Nuh-uh. In Dragon Ball, they go out and find seven dragon balls and then you can get any wish you want! But the bad guys want to get it too, so they go around and fight each other for it!" The child enthusiastically talked about his favorite show, throwing punches and mediocre kicks.

Star, on the other hand, grew even more confused by the boy's poorly explained plot. "Huh. That's so weird."

"No, it's cool!"

"Not as cool as having a spirit from the Moon Kingdom become you!" It was her turn to explain the her own show, detailing each character, villain, powers, and plot. Or… she tried anyway. The boy didn't quite understand what she was talking about.

"How come all of your characters are girls?" the boy asked.

"That's not true. There's Tuxedo Mask-" She gasped. "Do you want to be Tuxedo Mask!? It'll be so cool!"

"What? No way! I want to be Goku!"

Star crossed her arms and turned the other way. "Hmph. Worst Tuxedo Mask ever."

"I told you, I don't want to be Tuxedo Mask! I want to be Goku!"

"Hmmm…. Oh! I know! You can be Tuxedo Goku! And we can make our shows into one big show!" the little girl exclaimed.

"Tuxedo Goku? No way! I don't want to be part of Sailor Moon!"

"You're so boring!" She stuck her tongue out.

The boy responded in kind, sticking his own tongue out as well. They glared at each other before hearing a voice. "Star? Where are you? It's time to go home!"

Star frowned, calling back to the voice. "Okay mom!" She looked back at the boy and sighed. "Well… I guess this is goodbye."

To her surprise, the boy frowned, appearing rather… sad that she was leaving. "Aw… okay. Are you coming back tomorrow?"

She nodded. "I think so…"

"Good! You better. I don't want to fight evil alone!" the boy said with a smirk.

Star grinned, hugging the stranger. "We'll be partners from now on!"

"Hey, get off! Super saiyans don't hug…"

She giggled at his reaction and ran back to her mother before stopping, taking one last look at the boy. "Hey! What's your name?"

The boy placed his hands on his hips, standing as tall as he could. "I'm Marco Diaz! The greatest saiyan fighter of all time! What about you?"

She smiled, proudly holding up the stick in her hand. "I'm Star Butterfly! The greatest magical princess of all time!"


I couldn't get much info about the original concept so I'm not sure whether their names really were Star and Marco back then. Probably not.

Oh well :P


REVIEW RESPONSES

Guest 1: Marco's a lucky guy :P Though, not sure if Star would remember any of it when she wakes up. She'll see a red faced Marco whenever she's around him. Which will be all the time.
