* 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 on Anne's birthday and this leads to numerous changes to the plot:
** Since the Box was set down on a table when it was activated, the girls end up in slightly different locations than canon. 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 like Anne did in canon, and its location is currently unknown.
** Anne bunks with Sprig instead of being in the basement, wanting to be close to someone after ending up in a strange new world.
** Perhaps the biggest change is that [[spoiler:Andrias, disgusted by the Core's orders to kill Marcy, a young child, decides to rebel against his father and the others in the Core for her sake.]]
** Thanks to Anne uncovering his plot, Toadstool is forced to be honest paying with the taxes.
** [[spoiler:The Core possesses Andrias after his failed rebellion instead of Marcy, as no amount of Calamity powers or intellect could balance out the fact that Marcy is a clumsy seven-year old.]]
** [[spoiler:The Core is destroyed by Marcy supercharging the {{EMP}} she and Andrias had made using her Calamity powers instead of by Anne sacrificing herself to use the full powers of the Gems.]]

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: The younger Sasha lacks the manipulative ControlFreak tendencies of her canon counterpart and is much nicer to her friends and even nicer toward the Plantars as well as everyone else in Wartwood. Though this is balanced by her still having her abrasive moments and being even more HotBlooded than her older counterpart.
