* ParentalNeglect: The Waybrights are reportedly rather neglectful towards Sasha, her father always dropping her off at the playground and just leaving her there to pick her up later, unlike the Wus and Boonchuys, who always have someone watching their kids. The other two sets of parents don't approve of this neglect, but never say anything around the kids.

* ForWantOfANail: The primary nail of the story is that Marcy finds the Calamity Box when shopping with her mom during a sale at the Thrift Shop, seven years before she canonically discovered it, and this leads to numerous changes to the plot:

Anne appears just outside of the Plantar farm instead of in the woods outside of Wartwood, Sasha literally appears in the middle of Toad Tower, and Marcy appears in the Newtopia throne room instead of outside. Also, because no one was holding the Box, none of the girls end up with it, and its location is currently unknown.
