I do not own the picture above, it belongs to it's respectful owner.

Setting; Star Vs The Forces Of Evil

OC; Hope Honey; OC I have used before in other stories

Death; Has no idea and doesn't really want to know or care about it

Reincarnated As; Herself, just in a different setting

Pairings; Decided for the most part - I will late put them up as more characters start coming in.

The title of this story is called The Butterfly Effect because Hope is going to be the cause to a lot of effects; Her being born, alive, and everything else changes a lot of things. She is the butterfly effect you could say. There is also another reason for the title that I won't tell - it'll give away spoilers for some important plot points in the story.

Now, a few warnings for this story; This is a serious take on the cartoon, even though there are still silly and light/fluffy moments. There is going to be character deaths, some brutal. Racism is going to be touched on, and there are going to be some dark elements in here. If you do not want to read this story, there are other stories you can go read.

Although, to be honest, SVTFOV is pretty dark when you think about it. I mean, have of you read the magic book? Eclipsa's mom is pretty much insane and a demented woman - and a lot of Queens are actually pretty out there (not right in the head) if you get what I mean.

Oh, if I use episodes, they might be out of order. With Hope being in play, she might cause things to happen sooner rather than later, or vise versa. Just putting that out there now.

With that out of the way - let's start this story!

-Chapter Start-

"Would you like some more water?"

Hope Azalea Honey never thought she would be in this situation. Reincarnated in what looks like a cartoon world, living alone because of her new set of parents who pretty much only wanted her because of them wanting to seem like the perfect family, and soon finding out that apparently, magic and monsters were a thing.

There were a few things that brought her comfort though. She remembered her first set of parents, and they were much better than the ones she had now. Well, at least her new set of parents leave her a credit card to buy her needs and wants while they're off traveling the world, so there is that. Another comfort is looking similar to how she looked before; Pale skinned, very short brown hair with red highlights, hazel eyes behind big green glasses, and tall and skinny. She is already 6'0'' at fourteen years old and still growing - she has no idea what height she will be when she finally stops growing.

The final comfort is that she doesn't recall how she died. In fact, a lot of things about her past life is blurry, but she likes it like that. Better to not know, less likely to drive her insane that way.

But, being reborn in a cartoon world brings it's own issues. Which, leads into the present; Her finding some Monsters from another dimension in her backyard, injured from fighting that transfer girl who is apparently a princess from another dimension that Marco's family that lived a block away took in, and welcoming them in because it's the polite thing to do. Her Mom in her last life did not raise a rude brat after all.

Now, if only if she could figure out why they were looking at her with such weird looks on their face. She knows she can be a bit ditsy - her own best friend, Nicole Nemesis, did tell her that that a lot of things tend to go over her head, and Hope knows this to be a fact. So, maybe she is missing something? Or did she cross a line in their culture?

"Yes!" The littlest Monster grinned up at her, dressed in a dark robe and some type of skull on his head - which, Hope honestly hopes that it's something cultural or just a hat - holding up his empty cup. Hope couldn't help but smile back after pushing her curiosity back.

"Alright. Anyone else?" Hope looked to the assorted people gathered in her living room. No one else said anything or they just shook their head. "Okay, I'll be right back." With that, she turned around and went into the kitchen that was the next room over.

-------------------------

"Um, boss....what do we do?" Bearicorn hesitantly asked after the weirdly kind human left the room.

Ludo hummed, leaning back on the chair he was offered.

Offered. As in, kindly gave the option of sitting in a comfortable chair so that he can rest - all without underhanded motives.

It was weird to the small Kappa Monster. To be offered such kindness. The young female human, who introduced herself as Hope Honey, wasn't like the others Ludo has ran into. Humans, in their looks, reminded the short Monster of Mewmans. Both in looks and how they reacted and thought of Monsters. Too many times Humans have looked at them and ran in fear - at least only one human so far has actually tried to attack them. Small mercies, as the mewmans would have already had mobs ready to try and kill them.

Yet, here is one thin, sickly looking human who offered up her home, welcomed them without a single bad thought. When she found them in her backyard, Ludo expected a scream of terror - not the kind lopsided smile they got and honest to magic concern over their injuries.

Looking to his army, he glanced to all their bandages and band-aids on them. Most of them band-aids bright in color, and in different shapes. Hope had actually taken the time to help them with their injuries, talking to them softly and gently even if they didn't say anything in return. Then, she offered them drinks and food.

There was no fear in her voice, eyes or face. Only warmth that had never been directed at Ludo from another species. Not even his own parents looked at him with such warmth. With the face and body of a Mewman, Ludo had thought there would be nothing but hate and disgust directed at them all. But, no. No, he only got the opposite - and he had no idea how to react to that.

What can Ludo do in the face of kindness and compassion?

"Nothing." Ludo decided. There was nothing he can do. Nothing for them to do right now. "We do nothing. Rest, because we have another plan to try out tomorrow!"

"And....about Ms. Honey?" Buff Frog softly asked after a moment of silence, glancing to the kitchen where the sound of running water was coming from.

Taking in a deep breath, Ludo grinned. "Nothing! I don't know! Just....just don't break anything you dimwits! be sure to say please and thank you, remember your manners!"

That got him mutters of agreement, making him relax.

Then, Hope was back, a glass of water with ice in it in her hand.

"Here you go!" With a beam, the human handed it off to Ludo, who took it. "Sorry for the wait, I wanted to make sure the water was cold." With that, she turned at looked at all of them others, face filled with concern. "Are you sure you all don't want anything else? I could make a quick snack if any of you are hungry."

Unknown to Hope, her kindness and compassion, two things she thought that should be a given, not a right, to give out and show to others, made sure that the Monsters came back to her house again and again.

And, again and again, Hope welcomed them no matter what.

No matter if they were hurt, had questionable items with them, had questionable intentions for others, had plans to do harm - no matter what, she had a smile ready for them and a door open. That, alone, caused waves unlike any other.

When Nicole found out, Hope was given a stern lecture on trusting strangers and opening her own home to said strangers. But, Nicole just sighed and let it be, coming over and coming to know the Monsters as well.

The Monsters themselves didn't know how to handle the short human who only stood at 4'10'', dressed in a black jacket, jeans, tennis shoes. With her short light brown hair cut into a bob, and dark brown eyes, she was more threatening their her apparent let on. When they first met, and Hope left them alone together, Nicole had threaten them all if something were to happen to Hope. Respect was given to her, and that alone went a long way.

It also helped that Nicole didn't like Star Butterfly, as more than once, Star's magic has made life difficult. Especially in school. Monsters and Nicole bonded over the pain of misused spells.

But, then, the butterfly truly started flapping it's wings a new way when Ludo's Army came by to visit, with a new member in tow.

Let the butterfly effect start.
