A secondary series set in the 90's Kid universe! Join Maisy as she goes back in time to the 1990s, where she can time travel mentally at will and has a dream to make a rock band. Original Series: The 90's Kid In 2045, Maisy Wilkins finds a time machine beneath the old amusement park and takes the impossible opportunity to return to her childhood in the 1990s. Able to travel mentally, she can rewind, skip forward, and "try again." Her goal: to make the rock band she missed out on the first time around, naturally! The why is something she prefers to keep a secret for now, but in her mind, it's the only, best way to correct something she sees as an injustice. Making old friends and new as she navigates her life in Royal Valley after moving from Chicago, Maisy has music in her blood and is determined to immortalize her family legacy through chords and lyrics. With her powers that allow her to fix mistakes, surely she can manage a group of friends and a little old rock band, right? As long as she can survive elementary, middle, and high school again. But she isn't the only one traveling through time, and she may have less of it than she could imagine… Contains mild, occasional profanity and a few scary and dramatic moments. Prepare for a little heartbreak! Note that Another 90's Kid uses a slightly bigger text size than usual. This is to more closely preserve the original formatting. It is also imagined and written as an animated series. Try visualizing it like you would a cartoon! Website: https://www.90skidstory.com/ Check this out for much more spoiler-free info to the world!

Same place and time. New crew and perspective. More details and features, and how this story compares to the original series: 🌐 On the website, you can read the chapters in a flippable format if you prefer. Also included are curated playlists, a cast page, and a lot more. 🖥 No AI usage. Maisy would hate that, too.🧒🧒 👩 Family is everything to Maisy. She's closer to her older siblings than even Wes was with Lucy.🎸 The same magical realism and hanging-out-with-friends banter as the original, but with an additional musical focus. Maisy isn't as pop-culture spongey as Wes, having grown up with a more folksy, down-to-earth family. 👀 It's first person instead! This is necessary due to Maisy's thoughts and metal time-traveling abilities. She's the only main character, anyway. If you normally don't like first-person POV, give it a chance—I promise she's a good tour guide!⏳ Time travel shenanigans begin to pick up… at the beginning. Maisy uses her powers in moderation and logically, so it's not overwhelming. The story is also faster paced and covers more years.🧢 Cameos from the original cast without them taking over the show.🎨 Every chapter has original, non-AI artwork!📺 Chapters in the main series have retro commercial breaks! And music and music videos! (When available)🏞 Detailed locations like the schools, apartment, mall, Club Clamor, and more! Maisy and her friends grow up in the urban center of Royal Valley, meaning totally different vibes away from Desert Tree. But the suburbs are still explored plenty, too!9️⃣0️⃣ As always, didn't grow up in the 80s or 90s? No problem. Don't feel intimidated. There's plenty of descriptions for things you may know nothing about. Don't know much about music, either? Same deal. I'm no expert, either!📓 Maisy keeps a computer journal, so a lot of her backstory will be revealed in small morsels by the star herself.📏 Every chapter is the same size, so you know what to expect. But something new happens in every new chapter, so you also don't know what to expect, or where we're going today. Lots of fun surprises!
