The Little Star [3/20/17]

I remember when I met my little star.
It was 2:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning.
I was curled up on my bed, tears in my eyes, sad music blasting through my headphones.
I was alone, again...

Then my little star came.
I looked out my window, and gazed at the only star visible in the sky. 
It was a beautiful star.

I asked,
"Little star... can you please send me a friend? Someone I can always have by my side? Someone who will love me for me?"

The star twinkled and I smiled, closing the drapes and laying down. 
It wasn't until I woke up a few hours later did I realize I was still home alone. 
I was alone... again. Or was I?

I heard noises in the kitchen, so I got myself out of bed and walked down the hallway, turned the corner, and stared in confusion as I saw it. 

It was a small, floating star. It was around the same size as those Valentine's day bears, ya know, the pocket sized ones?

The little star floated over to me and nudged my cheek. I was startled and fell over. Then it spoke.

"Hi there Asteria, my name is Lumos. It's nice to meet you!"

"Oh.. Hi there Lumos.. I-how do you know my name?"

"You asked me last night for a friend! So I came down to grant your wish! And speaking of which, your mother is home, so i'll go hide in your room!"

That was the last moment of my normal life, because now? I had my little star.

Cliche Much?

The annual carnival came into town and Rose couldn't be more excited, she had waited all year for them to come back into town, and this year, she was determined to bring Allen along.

    "C'mon Allen!!! The firework display starts soon! The line for the Ferris Wheel is gonna be too long for us to get on if we don't hurry!!"

    "Calm down Rose, we'll get there in time." He sighed and smiled a bit, he adored how energetic she was, sometimes.

As they approached the Ferris Wheel, Rose wiggled in anticipation. She could hardly contain her excitement.

    "Finally, it's our turn to get on. Are you ready?"

    "I guess I'm as ready as I ever be, but aren't ou afraid of heights?"

    "There's no time to worry about that now." 

The two boarded the ride, Allen could feel the intense grip Rose had around his arm. She was indeed terrified of heights, and he couldn't quite wrap around his head why she was getting on this ride with him.

Nearing the top, the lights on the Ferris Wheel shut off, and the ride came to an abrupt stop, causing Rose to squeal in fear and cling to Allen, who wrapped his arm around her shoulders. 

    "Hey, it's alright. No need to be scared. I told you this was a bad idea and you didn't wanna listen. Why don't we go on something less taxing? Like the swan boats?"

    "Well... we couldn't see the fireworks from down there, now could we??"

As if on queue, the fireworks began to go off, lighting the dark night sky with an endless plethora of colors. It was breathtaking.

The two looked into each others eyes, and shared a sweet kiss as the night sky above them erupted in sound and colors. 

The End.
