What if...Crystal Splezter was in Sunset Paradise?

Crystal was my fan-made character based in the world of Smg4. In the story, she was the daughter of a now teenage mother Meggy. Like Meggy, she would grow with the rest of the cast and even become human.

By the YouTube Arc, Meggy and Tari began dating and Tari grew into a second motherly figure for Crystal, which eventually lead to some dimensional hijinks where Crystal would biologically become the daughter of both of them.

Eventually though, Crystal would be separated from Meggy through her 4th birthday and the Smg4 10th anniversary when Meggy went on her adventure to Port Aurora.

But what if things had been different? What if Crystal went with her mom to a Sunset Paradise?

...

It was my intention to have this happen in the actual story, but I didn't because I'd be missing out writing the 10 year anniversary for Smg4 and therefore Zero's first appearance. But since I already had the base to work from, here's how Sunset Paradise would've progressed if Crystal were in the show.

Episode 1 - PILOT: Meggy would take the experience to really take some time to bond with Crystal, getting her a new look for the holiday like a funny shirt and even robbing Aziz when he overcharges for Ice cream. Auri would still shut him down, but Meggy would give the one cone she got to Crystal. Meggy would be less willing to help Auri when the Spuds attack, mainly wanting to keep Crystal safe until she would be convinced. Crystal would play her own small part in the fight, but would be held back by unexplainable headaches. The Spuds would get away and steal both their luggage, so Auri would give them his home for the night. Meggy would more than likely give up her bed and sleep on the floor so Crystal could sleep well, but she'd find it hard since her teddy bear was in her luggage.

Episode 2 - The Silence of the Yams: Crystal would mainly find it hard to work with Auri due to their conflicting ideas of Action over Words, with Auri still being the one to charge in headfirst against the spuds. Crystal would pursue the Spuds through the festival as Meggy and Auri would follow over the rooftops. She'd spring the trap early as Meggy and Auri would jump in to save her, capturing Duke as they'd interrogate him and Crystal would see how Auri is able to convince duke with words. She'd help turn Duke to the good side permanently later on in the garbage yard, but Yam would take his eye out with the peeler not long after. By the end of the episode, their luggage would still be stolen and Crystal would go to bed early with a headache. Duke would be given an eyepatch and made Auri's security guard to watch over the cells where the others spuds would remain trapped.

Episode 3 - Reservoir Cats:  Instead of Auri being glued to Meggy's back, He and Auri would accidentally glue their hands together, which would cause difficulty throughout the episode as they would have to learn to work in sync. They'd track down whisk to her apartment where the 3 would be gassed and Crystal's nightmare vision would be blurry and muffled memories of the events on Anime island, since I just wanna establish Her mind was wiped on those subjects. After  getting free and a fight with Whisk, Crystal would get her teddy bear back but Meggy would still be mad about losing her luggage once again.

Episode 4 - Cat-Sino Royale: Meggy and Whisks Storyline would be mostly the same, but Auri would be partnered with Crystal. Auri impersonating a janitor would be switched to him and Crystal doing the classic trench coat trick, Auri pretending to be a woman would be changed with Crystal in a blonde haired wig with Sunglasses pretending to be a boy and they would get the hot air balloon after Crystal Knocks put the pilot. Meggy would be concerned about Crystal putting herself in danger, but would be soothed by Tari on a call the same night, prompting her thoughts of proposing.

Episode 5 - The Funk and the Furious: Instead of stopping Crimes, Meggy and Auri would be celebrating Crystal's 4th birthday when the Funky Force show up. After introducing themselves to mother and daughter, Meggy would be placed in the massage area despite Crystal's protests, she'd be forced into the kid zone to wait. After Auri discovers the Forces plan and leaves, Crystal's abilities would officially kick in for the first time as she'd be able to see Meggy being brainwashed on a camera. She would escape and meet up with Auri back at his house, where the two would agree to work together to stop the funky force and save Meggy.

Episode 6 - Saturday night Funkin: After saving the Mayor from Meggy's murder attacks, Crystal would try to snap her out of it with fun memories, but The Funky Force would've warped her brain and made her think Crystal wasn't her daughter. The two would get their behinds kicked before Crystal would successfully manage to win over the audience with adorableness over funky dance moves until Auri could destroy the records and save Meggy. They would still be framed, being forced back to Auri's home. The others would've been freed and Duke would be locked up in their place, with Benedict revealing him. He'd lock Auri and Meggy away while Taking Crystal hostage, believing in time he could raise her to be his war general. Taking her hostage, the remaining 3 would be caught in the blast as Crystal watched on in horror, believing them all to be dead.

Episode 7 - What comes next: Duke would be with Meggy and Auri, where the common idea of saving Crystal would keep them together instead of splitting up, since Crystal and Auri by this point would basically act like twins. Auri would still be angry, but keep it hidden well. Crystal would be kept firmly tied to the back of one of Benedict's Goonie's and she'd try to convince Whisk to change sides which would have some effect. He'd also skip the whole good deeds phase and use Crystal to ram through the pure of heart barrier, which would give her the chance to run away and Benedict full control of the island.

Episode 8 - Mad Meggy: Duke would help defeat his former team this time and Crystal would reunite with the others, especially a tearful Meggy who wished she'd never brought her on vacation because of everything that happened. She'd instruct Duke to watch Crystal, but she'd be able to sneak past him and hide in the back of the van when the Mayor drives Meggy and Auri on the direction of the Lighthouse. After getting on the Funk truck to Meggy's shock and annoyance, she'd first show her mom her powers by easily being able to hack the funk truck defence mode, then fend in shooting of the funky force by using a spatter-shot she stole from Meggy's closet. After the Mayor's sacrifice and agreeing to have one hell of a conversation with Tati when they got back, all 3 would proceed to the lighthouse.

Episode 9 - All Fall Down: With Crystal backing up the attack with her own new abilities, the Trio would make their way past the Goonies and to the top where things would proceed mostly the same until they made it to the roof. Instead of Saving Meggy, Auri would instead throw himself in-front of a blaster shot for Crystal. This would hit them both hard when he dies, but with the plan to use the phoenix egg and Whisk arriving, Crystal would grab Auri's staff and prepare with Meggy to fight back.

Episode 10 - Rebirth: Mother and Daughter would fight together against whisk, but Meggy's illusions of her shadow self and Crystal's inexperience would put them both on the losing end. It would seem hopeless until Benedict nearly blasts Crystal off the roof, Causing Meggy to Conquer her demons and defeat Whisk to save her, then blasting the egg free and saving Auri. This time, Whisk would leave after realising how truly Benedict is instead of just being afraid. The trio would defeat Benedict as he would self destruct, then they would all get to relax for one last day before going home. Before leaving, Meggy would have the ring ready to propose to Tari and Auri would give Crystal his staff, modified to look like a hammer instead. She'd thank him and the next day, Mother and daughter would both go home.

(Aftermath) 

With these changes, Meggy and Tari would still be engaged but Crystal would have a greater hold on her abilities and her code corruption to Zero would allow Axol to live. From there, basically everything would be the same.

Hope you enjoyed this story!
