Curiosity Broke the Scissors

Chapter 1

Star, I don't think this is a good idea." A teen boy with brown hair wearing a bright red hoodie said nervously. "You heard Glossaryck, Locked Dimensions are locked for a reason."

"And that just makes me want to see them more Marco!" A blonde teen girl with heart marks on her cheeks and a red devil horn hairband exclaimed excitedly, her arms flailing around with a wand that looked like something you'd find in a magical girl anime and an ornate pair of scissors clasped in either hand. "Just imagine all the amazing things we'll get to see and awesome adventures we'll get to have!"

These two were Marco Diaz, a Latino-American boy who tended to be overly cautious and a bit of a neat freak, and Star Butterfly, an energetic princess from another dimension who'd been living with Marco's family for the last few days as an exchange student while she learned to control the power of her wand.

During that time, Marco had to deal with some of the craziest and oddest situations in his life. A prominent example being when one of Star's friends Pony Head, a literal floating unicorn head, visited with the intention of having one last blowout before being sent to a reform school.

Afterwards, the bodiless horse left Star with the scissors the girl was currently holding, which were capable of cutting open portals to other dimensions... no, seriously.

Anyway, being the curious and excitable girl she was, Star quickly learned everything that she could about the handy tool, and stumbled upon an interesting related subject, Locked Dimensions. These were dimensions that almost all form of dimensional travel was blocked, whether it be from a naturally occurring phenomenon or intentionally sealed off because of the dangers they held.

And naturally, Star wanted to go to one of these places almost immediately after learning about them, despite the numerous warnings and people saying that it was an extremely bad idea.

"How do you even plan to do this? Everything you found on Locked Dimensions said that Dimensional Scissors don't work on them at all." Marco stated, before sighing as Star wiggled her wand in front of his face. "Of course you're gonna use your wand."

"Yep, if I channel the magic from it into the scissors, then it should boost them enough to work." The princess said while carelessly twirling the two magical items in her hands.

'Or it'll cause a huge disastrous mess that we'll have to spend all day cleaning up... again.' Marco thought with a grimace. "Fine, but why are we doing it in my room? I just finished cleaning in here." He said while gesturing to the tidy bedroom they were currently standing in.

"Sorry Marco but the laser puppies are napping in mine right now and I don't want to disturb them. Now stop worrying so much, I'll be careful." Star said, shrugging off the boy's concerns as she held her arms out in front of her and pressed the top of the wand against the scissor blades while Marco dived for cover.

...

...

*Bzzt-poof* "Perfect!"

Slowly peaking out from his cover, Marco was greeted by the site of Star grinning as she held up the Dimensional Scissors which now gave off a soft pink glow. Looking around the room, he was honestly amazed to find it completely unharmed.

"...That was surprisingly anticlimactic." The sweater wearing boy couldn't help but say as he fully stood up. "Looks like you're finally starting to get a hand on your magi-"

"Alright, let's give these a try!" Star cut him off as she jabbed the scissors in front of her and snipped the very air, causing a small cut to appear.

*KRAKACHZZZT*

"I spoke too soon!" Marco yelled as chaos erupted throughout the room. Lightning arced all over the place, igniting multiple things aflame and leaving dark scorch marks, powerful winds blew around practically everything not nailed to the floor, and random areas of the room were suddenly froze over.
