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 put them up as more characters start coming in.

Please keep in mind this is not in any canon. I am going to be taking liberties with how certain things are, changing up some things, and throwing some things out the window. So, please no comments on how something is not canon or about how I am wrong about something. Please and thank you!

Characters are slightly different for reasons that will be explained in the story later on. There are going to be more OCs in this story as well - all mine unless stated otherwise. Also, if/when episodes are used, they will most likely be out of order. I'll be doing that as it will work better with the plot I have in mind for this story.

Now, with that out of the way - let's get this chapter started!

-Chapter Start-

"Is that a carriage being pulled by a dead horse?" Hope asked her best friend, wondering if she finally has snapped and is seeing things. Although, on the other hand, she might be seeing things because of her glasses being wrong for her eyes..... "I am seeing this right? I'm not the only one seeing a dead horse with fire coming out of them like a mane? Or do I need new glasses already?"

"Hope, I just saw a carriage come up from the street, flames everywhere, and a skeleton horse pulling it." Nicole blankly stated, looking at the carriage in front of their school in shock. "If you need new glasses because of what we are seeing, I need a psychiatrist."

Before the two teens could say anything more, the carriage opened. Blinking as one, both Nicole and Hope watched as another teen came out of it.

"Oh man, betting Butterfly has something to do with this too." Nicole groaned, seeing that the male teen had horns and obviously three eyes - hidden behind some sunglasses. "I just hope that this time, it doesn't take down the school with it."

Hope took in the male teen, who was now walking their way, fire coming alive wherever he stepped. What took her attention was the way the teen was dressed in a suit. It made him look almost like a secret agent or something.

'He just came from the underground. He has horn, there is fire everywhere...' Hope then went wide eyed. Just as the teen was just about to pass them, Hope couldn't help but blurt out what was on her mind. "Are you a demon?"

"Hope, you can't just ask someone if they are a demon or not!" Nicole quickly snapped out of her thoughts on what happens if the school goes down at her best friend's words.

"But then how will I know?" Hope asked right back, confused. "Assuming is wrong, and spying is illegal to do. Spying is just another word for stalking."

"Hope, we talked about this-" Nicole started to say, only to get cut off with the obviously not human male teen.

"No, no! It's cool." The guy waved his hands before lifting his sunglasses up to show his three eyes. "Yeah, I'm a demon." He answers with a slight smile.

"Oh..." Hope then glances to the carriage. "So....is it wrong of me to ask if you came from hell or...?"

Nicole face palms, but the guy just chuckles. "Not the first time someone's asked me that, you'd be shocked at what the other dimensions say. No, I'm from the Underworld. I guess it's the same place, only without the eternal torture and all that, just with a different name."

Oh, that was a load off Hope's mind. With a smile, Hope thanked the male, who nodded in agreement.

"So, what's a demon doing at our school?" Nicole couldn't help but ask with a raised brow. "I know a lot of students call school hell, but I didn't think that demons would actually come."

"Ha, nah. I'm here to see someone actually." The guy smiled sheepishly, rubbing his neck.

"We can't just let a stranger into out school, you know." Hope pointed out, tugging at her large, baggy green sweater that had a white painted heart on it. "You'll have to go through the office to be aloud in."

"Could you lead me there?" The demon teen asked, glancing around. "I didn't go to public school, so..."

Nicole glanced to Hope, who was nodding in agreement. Sighing and rolling her eyes, Nicole just started leading the way.

'Guy is most likely here to see Star.' Nicole couldn't help but mentally groan. She didn't hate Star by any means, but she was annoyed by her. Because when Star started to live on Earth, many issues came with her. And with Hope living so close by to Marco, who's family has taken Star in, Nicole can't help but worry for her fragile friend. It was hard not to. Not when her best friend lives alone and doesn't have the best health - also, ditsy as hell. That did make a good combination.

First it was Star coming, then it was Hope welcoming in a bunch of strangers turned friends into her home and life, and now it's a demon coming to their school. If this was what was going to become the normal for them, Nicole can't help but worry about what is to come next - and if she can keep Hope safe.

"-name's Tom-"

"-you look really nice! What's the occasion?"

Well, if nothing else, Hope can make friends with just about anyone - or, make their guard drop low enough to where they're not a threat. That lessens the worries a bit. Not enough to make Nicole happy about all these changes, but enough to where she's not about to do something drastic....yet.

But, Nicole chalked that up to Hope's ditsy nature and not being able to read the tension right most of the time for being able to be so calm in the face of magic, monsters, and demons.

--------------THE NEXT DAY; AFTER SCHOOL; HOPE'S HOUSE----------------

"Nicole, I don't get it." Hope nearly whined to her friend. Both were sitting around the coffee table on the floor, doing homework together.

"You forgot to subtract." Nicole bluntly stated after glancing to her taller friend's paper. Hope just pouted, erasing all her wrong hard work.

"Math sucks." Hope muttered to herself, only to pause when knocking sounded out. Lifting her head, she tilted her head. It didn't sound like it was coming from the front door, meaning that someone was knocking on the back door. To do that means hoping the fence at the least to be able to get into her backyard, or using a portal, and only a certain group knocks at the back, so that means-

"Oh! Ludo and his friends are here!" Hope beamed, getting up to answer the back door.

Nicole just sighed, cracking her neck. "Great..." Yet, no matter the tone of her voice, the corners of her lips twitched up.

What can she say? The ragtag group has really grown on her.

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

Toffee, when he started his new plan, had thought he knew what was going to come and how it would all go.

His new 'boss' taking him and the army to a homey house on Earth wasn't something he foresaw. Ludo had mentioned introducing him to 'her'. Toffee didn't like not knowing things.

Yet, for the life of him, he didn't expect the most shocking part was that the 'her' was a tall, teen aged girl. One who opened the backdoor with a warm smile and welcome coming out of her lips. Dressed in a oversized green sweater that had a white heart painted on it, slightly baggy blue jeans and wedged tennis shoes making her even taller, the girl looked average - if not on the sickly thin and tall side.

If Toffee wasn't so attuned with his instincts, he would say that this was an average human. A tall and very thin one, but still a normal human. Something that he didn't think he'd have to encounter or deal with.

But, something about her made him pay closer attention to the girl. Something in her aura, in the very air surrounding her.

'The very air around her feel different.' Toffee realized with a start. 'This girl feels....familiar?'

Toffee's instincts were on point, they had to be, and he has learned a long time ago to listen to them. This girl, there is something mysterious surrounding her. Something that made his mind buzz, as there was something about her that made him think he has seen her somewhere before. But, that was impossible. He didn't make it a habit to come to Earth, and this girl surely hasn't lived long enough to have seen him when he had made small visits to the planet. This was something that he did not see coming.

This alone, made his plans change and halt - an unknown factor has been added. Meaning, it is time to regroup and rethink his plan with this new player on the board.

"-and this here is Toffee! He's helping me train these dolts into shape!" Ludo's voice drove Toffee out of his thoughts, but one still lingered.

'A new puzzle. One that could be a game changer. Could make new plans, break them, or make them.' It was time to wait and see for Toffee, before he started looking for the answers himself that is.

"Ludo, you know better than to call them names." The girl chided the smaller Monster gently, making said Monster look away with a pout. Still smiling, the girl turned her attention to him.

Not ounce of fear in her eyes. Not even a little distrust.

"It's nice to meet you, Toffee!" The girl beamed, holding out a hand. "I'm Hope Azalea Honey."

Glancing up at the girl, then down at the hand, Toffee saw no hostile movements. Taking the hand gently, he gave it a few shakes before letting it go. "Likewise."

"Hope here is always kind enough to open her home to us." Ludo explained when Hope moved out of the way, letting them all come inside. "She's an unofficial member of the team you could say."

"I see." Toffee hummed, glancing over his shoulder at Hope, who was shutting the backdoor. "And, may I ask, how old are you? You are quite tall."

The girl jolted, blinking and tilted her had to look at him as she shut the door. "Oh, I'm fourteen." Hope answered without pause, turning her attention to Toffee. "I'm just really tall for my age. So I look older than I really am."

"And you're parents are fine with you having Monsters in their home?" Toffee raised a brow in question.

"My parents are gone most of the year." Hope chuckled, scratching her cheek. "They don't really care, just as long as the house is still standing by the time they come back to repack for their next trip."

That alone said a lot about her home life. Toffee just nodded, and started to the living room only to be greeted by the group of Monster sitting down all around. Some were talking to another human girl, others were watching TV, and some were just sitting and messing around.

Hope walked up next to him, gesturing to the girl. "That's my best friend, Nicole Nemesis." Nicole, having heard her, turned her head to look at the both. Toffee quickly noticed that Nicole felt completely normal. No....strange gut feeling when he looked at her like with Hope.

"Nicole, this is Toffee. A new member of Ludo's group." Hope told her friend as she walked back to the coffee table, sitting down and grabbing her homework. "Ludo said he hired him to train up the others."

"Great, another one." Nicole rolled her eyes, but there was a hint of a smile on her face. "Maybe they'll learn some commonsense now."

Watching the two girls talk for a moment, Toffee then turned his attention to the living room itself. Letting his eyes wonder, they eventually stopped on the photos hanging on the wall. Taking a step closer, Toffee saw that most pictures were of the two girls. Only one picture showed two adults. The male having dark brown hair, dark eyes and dressed in a suit. The woman on the other hand had dark brown curly hair down up in a ponytail, and had blue eyes while dressed professionally. In the photo, they stood next to a younger Hope, who had a small smile on her face instead of the stern looks the adults had.

Even at the young age, she was pretty tall for her age. And looking closely at the two adults, Toffee noticed that none of them really looked alike. There was nothing in Hope that mirrored any of the two. But, there also could be the case of the girl taking after a different relative. For all Toffee knew, she could look dead on like her grandmother or great grandmother on either side of the family.

"Hmmm..." Giving a slight hum at this new information, Toffee turned around, only to find Ludo in front of him.

"I want you to give it to me straight." Ludo told Toffee with a grim voice, glancing behind him at his army. "Don't worry, I can handle it. They're terrible aren't they?"

Looking up at everyone else, Toffee had to go a bit wide eyed at what he saw. Some Monsters were laughing and talking with one another, others were drinking and eating, but what really caught his attention was that most of them were surrounding the two human girls.

The one called Nicole was sitting by Hope, seeming to be in an playful argument with some of the Monsters. Hope, on the other hand, was holding up some papers, showing them to the Monsters and explaining what it is. All the Monster listening closely and with wide eyes.

Two, non-Monsters, and a whole bunch of Monsters in one room, not fighting. No hate. No discrimination.

This is something he had never seen before - something he thought he'd never see.

"I mean, Hope and Nicole are fine, but they don't help with the planning and fighting part." Ludo went on, not noticing Toffee's shock. "Star Butterfly doesn't even know that Hope lets us use her house as a second base of operation! We're only a block or so away from where she is staying, you know."

Before Ludo could go on, a portal was cut open right next to him. Both Ludo and Toffee turned their heads just as Buff Frog jumped out from the other side, the portal closing behind him.

"Ludo, Master!" Buff Frog quickly saluted. "The girl thinks the messages in her cookies are fortunes. She does whatever they say." The spy quickly rattled off, only to get cut off by Ludo waving his hand.

"Interrupting!" Ludo growled with a glare, only to loose it just as quickly when he turns to Toffee, looking desperate. "Well, Toffee give it to me straight."

"Ludo!" Hope's voice called out.

All three Monsters quickly turned their heads to look at Hope. Said girl was frowning lightly.

"Ludo, you should listen to Buff Frog, he must have something important to tell you if he came back in such a hurry." Then, hazel eyes glanced to Toffee. "Besides, Toffee might need a few days to get a feel for everyone before he can start helping."

"B-But Hope-" Ludo started to whine, only to stop when Hope frowned harder at him.

"Ludo, we talked about this. You need to be nicer to your members." Hope shook her head like a disappointed mother. "Now, why don't you say sorry to Buff Frog and give Toffee time to do his job."

"Uh-oh, the mom friend is disappointed." Nicole whispered jokingly, getting a pout from Hope which made her laugh.

Ludo himself was pouting before rolling his eyes, giving in. "Fine!" Sighing roughly, Ludo turned to Buff Frog, looking up at his spy. "I....I'm sorry. Now, what was it that you were telling me?"

While Buff Frog repeated what he said before, Toffee was busy staring at the tall girl. Hope noticed, but just smiled and waved, making Toffee blink. Nicole noticed, rolled her eyes, and lightly jabbed at her friend. Hope yelped, nearly falling over. While Monsters either scrammed out of the way or to try and reach out just in case Hope fell and Nicole laughing all the while, Toffee couldn't believe what he was seeing.

'This is how Mewni should be.' Staring at the two different species getting alone, laughing and having fun, Toffee couldn't help but wonder if one day, Mewni could be like that. Mentally scoffing, Toffee could only shake his head. 'Only if someone who can see what's wrong and understand takes the throne.'

And, with Star Butterfly the next in line, the mew-woman that is already known to be a rebel and bully other Monsters, there is little to no chance of that happening in his lifetime.

Yet, he also noticed how the Monsters seemed to listen to the two girls. Hope more so, but that could be because they are guests in her home. Or because of how kind she was being to them and they didn't want to ruin that. Toffee wasn't for sure, as this made him a bit unbalanced. Never before did he think that this would happen. More watching would need to be done in order to understand what is going on, and how this might change his plans.

Shaking his head, Toffee turned to look at Ludo and Buff Frog.

"I still don't see what's so important." Ludo told his spy. Buff Frog sighed, about to explain it once more, before Toffee decided to interrupt.

"Maybe we can do something with those....fortune cookies." Toffee said slowly, glancing off as he thought about it.

Buff Frog looked at the new comer suspiciously, about to grab his boss to try and see if Toffee was really trustworthy, when a voice stopped him.

"I'm done! Finally!" Hope nearly sobbed in relief, waving the papers in her hands about. "Math, you haven't killed me yet!"

"How much you want to bet that most of your math is wrong?" Nicole asked with a smirk, putting her own homework into her bookbag that was sitting by the couch.

"That's a sucker bet." Hope snorted, knowing that math was her weakest subject. "You know that math is like another language to me."

"Yet, you somehow know a few random words and sentences in other languages and still can't figure out algebra." The shorter girl pointed out with.

"Enough talk about the true evil in this world!" Hope said, not stopping even as Nicole snorted. "It's time to get some dinner! Who's hungry? I don't want to cook tonight, so it's takeaway or eating out."

Toffee then gained a smirk.

"How do you all feel about...Chinese food?"

Both Hope and Nicole blinked at the question, glancing at another.

----------------CHINESE FOOD RESTAURANT--------------------

"-two dozen egg rolls and two things of large fried rice." The worker repeated off, handing off two large plastic bags filled with food. Just as Hope reached for them, Nicole slapped her hands. The taller girl yelped in pain. Quickly moving her hands away from the bags, Hope pouted and rubbed them. Rolling her eyes, Nicole took the bags.

"Hope, you know these are too heavy for you. You'd just drop them. Or worse, you'd be the dropping." Nicole scolded her friend with a frown.

Dropping her pout, Hope sighed. "I know, I know." Glancing to her friend with a smile, Hope went to open the door for her. "Thanks, Nicole. Is your mom fine with you having dinner with me?"

Both girls walked out of the restaurant, waiting for the Monsters to come back to make a portal for them to go through. Before coming into the restaurant to order, Nicole had bet that their plan would fail after a few seconds, Hope refused to take that bet - although she did have a feeling it was going to fail sooner or later.

"You know she is." Nicole laughed shortly, only for the laugh to get stuck in her throat at the sudden flashing lights and magic.

"MEGA MUSHROOM DESTRUCTION BLAST!"

Blue magic filled with red mushrooms rushed by, coming from the alleyway right by the restaurant. Nicole had to fight to keep a hold of the food, cursing all the while. Hope's feet went up and she fell on her back with a gasp, the wind coming off the magic rush taking her by surprise. Then, when the blue, mushroom ridden magic was done, a pink cloud that was in the shape of a pink mushroom come out from the alleyway - pained groans could be heard from the alleyway.

"Owww..... I think I might have broken something...."

"I swear I'm going to smack that Butterfly girl right upside her blond head! We're never going to have a calm day again with her around! She's everywhere! Now the food might be contaminated! That bit-!"

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

On the rooftop of the restaurant, Toffee watched the aftermath of the spell with calm eyes. Glancing to all the Monsters that were now covered in mushrooms for a moment before his attention was stolen by some loud cursing.

Walking to look over the front of the building, Toffee raised a brow at the light brown haired girl cursing up a storm - looking one second away from committing a murder. Snorting softly, Toffee couldn't help but admire that kind of fire and fight in another. 

'She'd make a good fighter with enough training.' Toffee found himself thinking. Then, he trailed his line of sight to the other girl, who was laying on the ground and moaning in pain. The magic must have thrown her off her feet. As someone who is obviously so light in weight, it wouldn't take much for her to go flying if caught unaware.

'I wonder if she actually broke a bone-!!!' Toffee's thought came to a screeching halt, eyes going small and breathing stopping.

The very pale human girl was now slowly getting up, but Toffee couldn't stop staring at her.

He must be seeing things - he has to be.

Hope Honey looked like a normal human girl; albeit on the tall and thin side of the spectrum. Sure, there was that weird aura around her that made his instincts pay close attention to her, but for all Toffee knew, it could be some kind of human magic that he had never felt before.

But, now, he had a different thought in his mind for why this was.

Because, for a moment, while she was laying on the ground and before she started to sit up.....

Her cheeks had glowed a soft, pastel green.

Taking in a sharp breath, Toffee torn his eyes from the girl and glanced to Star Butterfly. Or, more importantly, glanced to the pastel pink hearts on the young princess's cheeks.

With his mind whirling, Toffee could only fight to keep his calm face as he and Ludo gathered everyone to leave through the portal.

He didn't pause or wait to go through the portal. No. He kept his eyes trained on Hope, mind going hundreds of miles per hour, trying to make sense of what he saw.

'Just what is going on?'

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

"Sorry, I should have listened to you." Star apologized to her best friend, Marco, as she helped him stand up. "Obviously, you know better than a dessert."

"No, it's my fault." Marco waved off the apology, feeling guilty. "I shouldn't have messed with you and said those fortunes were magical in the first place."

Before anything more could be said, the sound of a door opening made both Star and Marco look to where it came from. One of the workers from the Chinese Food place was there, walking out and had a box of fortune cookies in her hands.

"Oh, weird cookie girl." The worker smiled, holding out the box. "You want some more stale cookies?"

With clasped hands, Star looked excited as she walked over. "Who can say no to that?" She asked, taking the box. The worker just smiled, handed it over, and then went back inside, shutting the door behind her.

Star, with the box in her hands, turned and beamed at Marco, who looked more than a little weirded out and annoyed.

"Heh, what? They might not be real fortunes," Star started to say, picking up one fortune cookie and handing it off to Marco. "but they are real cookies."

Marco smiled, taking the cookie. Breaking it in half, he handed the small slip of paper to Star, shoving the cookie part in his mouth.

Leaning forward, Star smiled as she started to read the fortune aloud.

"A tiny butterfly flapping it's wings today may lead to a devastating hurricane weeks from now."

Both Star and Marco glanced at one another before laughing together at the fortune. Throwing the paper over her shoulder, both teens laughed as they started to walk back home.

Never knowing that the butterfly has truly started to flap it's wings.

The hurricane is coming.

-----------HONEY RESIDENT------------

"Cheers!" Ludo called out with a grin, lifting a glass filled with swamp water.

"CHEERS!" Everyone, sans Toffee and Nicole, sitting at the dinning room table and random places in the dinning room/kitchen called out in return cheerfully.

"That was the closest we've ever come to getting that wand!" Ludo beamed at Toffee, who was sitting right next to him. "But, she always gets the best of me in the end."

"I have a feeling that much will change in time." Toffee told the leader of the army nearly absent mindlessly. Ludo, not noticing, just grinned before turning his attention to Bearicorn who was sitting on his other side.

"Things will change when I get the wand!" Ludo laughed, pointing at Bearicorn and making sound effects while doing so - like he was holding the wand itself. Many Monster laughed and grinned at this, feeling like they were at the top with how close they were today.

Toffee, on the other hand, didn't pay this any mind. No, his whole attention was on the one who made his plans screech to a halt and made his mind go into overtime.

Hope Azalea Honey, the girl who was now eating at the other end of the table and talking with those around her. Not noticing his point blank staring.

Her cheeks were the same color as her skin, a pale color that was almost white but not quite. No other color was on it, not even pink or red that would show up on a more healthy person's face. Taking in her whole face, Toffee could see something....familiar in the shape of her eyes. Her intimidating height - or, it would be intimidating if she held herself in a more assertive way instead of the more relaxed way she stood - and the way she stood above most of the others made something in Toffee's mind scream at him.

But, all of that pales in comparison of what this new information brought him. Sure, her eye shape was familiar, and her height made Toffee want to slam his head into the table to try and remember who or what it reminds him of, but it was her cheeks that made Toffee's plans shatter. Because, if he saw right, even if it was only a second, then that means that Hope wasn't human at all. Or, at least, not fully human.

'What is a Mewman family doing on Earth?' Toffee mentally wondered, watching Hope pick out the peppers from her food and placing it on Nicole's plate while Nicole put some more fried rice on Hope's plate. Nothing out of the normal.

But, Toffee knew better.

'Just how does this girl have cheek emblems?' Because, that right there is the kicker.

For only the royal family on Mewni, the ones who spend most of the time around the royal wand and are born with markings on their cheeks, are the only ones with cheek emblems. To have cheek emblems, you have to be born with it or get it from being in contact with the royal magical wand for long periods of time. And while Hope lives near Star, Toffee would bet she doesn't spend a lot of time with the young princess, not enough to gain cheek emblems so quickly. Never mind that Toffee hasn't heard of any species outside of Mewmans gaining cheek emblems even when around so much magic.

With his hand that is missing a finger twitching, Toffee realized that his plans for revenge would have to be put on hold. Yet, he had a feeling that it was for the best. Something inside of him knew that something huge was coming, something that would be the best outcome he could hope for - and that it all stems from the very girl he is staring at. Doesn't mean that it isn't aggravating to not know what is going on anymore - this means he'll have to research and start digging.

While Toffee started to rework his plans as best as he can, making new ones with this new mystery in front of him, outside the window a green butterfly fluttered by.

All the while, most were clueless as to what was to come - and the change that would shatter everything.
