•WISH UPON A STAR•

One year ago, Dream Star created the Milky Way Star

Heart constellation to inspire love to grow on Earth.

When there is lots of love, Earth shines so brightly that

stars can’t help but shine their very brightest too. It’s the best

feeling in the whole universe!

Dream thought, “It’s been getting better, only I want love to be

everywhere.”

When Believe and Achieve, twin sisters from the Andromeda

Galaxy, were here on a Universal School exchange, Dream

discovered that their human planet shines brightly all of the time.

Unfortunately, they don’t know how it came to be like that.

Sir Knight North Star once told Dream, “Humans wish upon

stars to help their dreams come true.”

So Dream thought, “I’lI wish upon Believe and

Achieve. Maybe they can help me discover why their

human planet shines brightly all of the time.”

The next day, Dream arrived at the Little Dipper

Academy and found his friends whispering excitedly.

Super Star said to Dream, “Sir Knight is at a special

Celestial Star Council meeting.”

“They’re in the auditorium now,” said Drooper, a star

who can’t keep his points straight.

Dream was curious and asked, “Do you know what it’s

about?”

“No, but why don’t we fi nd out?” Drooper said.

When they arrived at the auditorium doors, they created

a pyramid of themselves. Dream scrambled to the top so he

could hear the council through the ceiling vents.

Dream heard Miss Status Quo say, “Señora Alphee,

why Dream? Surely an older star would have more success

discovering why your human planet shines brightly all of the

time?”

“Wow, that’s a quick answer to my wish! Señora

Alpheratz – Alphee for short – is the brightest star in

Andromeda and she is Believe and Achieve’s grandmother,”

thought Dream.

Señora Alphee continued, “We’ve discovered that Milky

Way stars are made differently. Unlike us, your stars can

get through our human planet’s atmosphere. Dream is very

determined – we’re sure he can solve the mystery.”

Sir Knight spoke up, “By a show of points, does the council

say yes?”

One by one, the council members raised their points.

Sir Knight declared, “It’s settled. I’ll speak with Dream

tonight.”

Dream whispered to his friends, “Have you noticed how

agreeable Miss Status Quo has been lately?”

Super said, “Of course, silly, she’s in love with Sir Knight!”

Dream turned bright red. Everyone giggled, causing their

pyramid to topple.

As the young stars returned to their classroom, Dream

told them about his wish and what he had heard.

Drooper said, “Boy, Dream, when you dream, you dream

big!”

Super said, “Dream, I’m so proud of you. Your Star

Heart was only the beginning.”

After class, Dream stopped at the Big Dipper to hug his

parents good-bye.

On his way to see Sir Knight, Dream thought, “Let the

adventure begin!”

When he saw Sir Knight, Dream blurted

out, “I know why we’re meeting!”

Sir Knight said, “Wherever you

go, Dream, excitement seems to follow. Now, let’s

talk about your trip to Andromeda.”

Kuma, a magnifi cent winged horse, tossed her

head, inviting Dream to sit in the saddle.

Sir Knight said, “Kuma will fl y you to

Andromeda, then she’ll go to Pegasus for her

family reunion. Kuma is their karaoke queen, even

though her voice is a little hoarse.”

“I’ve programmed your trip into Kuma’s bridle.

You’ll leave tonight during the Solar Eclipse

when the energy levels are strong enough to

propel you out into the universe,” Sir Knight

explained.
