Twilight's Wishby Silver OctaveChaptersWishesIts AlivePressing Matters[Part:1/2]Pressing Matters [Part:2/2]Wishes'O ThreeWishesLove is a bipolar emotion to deal with. Love is not only that, but it's a way to connect to your special somepony. Being a princess on the other hand, all the stallions only 'love' me, because I am one. It's been about six years sense I ascended into my alicorn state despite my nature. I loved being a unicorn. I wasn't special, other then the fact I WAS Celestia's star pupil. I have everything now, and it makes it no fun to work for the things I like, but what was more important was not to be the only one out of my group of wonderful friends, to have a husband. I've started the dating thing for a couple months now, and I always turn down the stallions. They don't care for me, other then the fact I am their new princess. But now, I was walking home after a night out at the club although I wasn't alone. Rainbow Dash, and Sorian were walking along with me. "So anyways, I was on my final lap when Celestia teleported me behind the rest of the group!" Sorian said. "Why did she do that?" Rainbow asked. "I don't know, but in the end I got second place." "Out of what?" I asked. "Please tell me." I chuckled. "Oh wait don't tell me....um....TEN!?" "Nope, six..." "I think Twilight's guess was better then the truth Sorian..." Rainbow Dash stated. "So...Twilight, how's the dating business going for you?" I lowered my head to the ground slowly, giving out a sigh. "Not good..." I said. "All they want is to have bucking babies, and be royalty." I picked my head back up with a fake smile. "Although I'm sure I'll find a stallion who truly loves me." Rainbow Dash stopped. "Don't lie, you've given up..." She said. I shook my head. "No really...I mean it. I'm sure he's just out there." Sorian stopped Rainbow Dash from doing anything. "Calm down Rainbow!" He ordered. "Or do I need to let you sit out of next race." Rainbow's pupils shrunk in fear. "NO!" She yelled. "NO WAY! This race is what we need to win to get into the internationals, and Lightning Dust is going to be in it. Don't you know she's as fast as me?!" I laughed. "Oh so your not the only one in Equestria that's able to do a Sonic Rainboom?" I asked with a smile ment to mock. Rainbow's face lit up with anger. "Watch it!" She barked. "Just because your my best friend, flying buddy, and princess, doesn't mean I'll kick your flank." "And where do you think you'll go?" I asked. "What do you mean?" She asked back with a worried look in her eyes. "Come on....use that brain of your's Rainbow Dash." I said laughing, "NO! I'm SORRY!" "It's alright!" I said trying hard not to fall on the ground, laughing. "I wouldn't do anything to you." We continued to talk as we got to my house. "See ya!" Rainbow Dash said flying away with Sorian. I walked in seeing Spike on the floor, sleeping. I gave a light smile seeing how he cleaned up the place after what happened before I went to the club. In fact, its what made me drink my heart out. 'Come on....I know you want to!" "I said no! Now leave!" "But why? We haven't slept yet." I shot books at him, one landing straight in the middle of his face. "GET! OUT!" I picked him up onto my back as I walked upstairs into my room. I lowered him onto his bed, which was a bit larger then it was six years ago, then I got onto my bed. I shifted around, before I was comfortable. Like every night, I shed a tear, for hope of the future. "Oh stars of Luna's night, help me find the one just for me..." I said. Before I closed my eyes, the stars started to shoot beams of light to a single star in the middle of them all. The center start started to glow brightly, enough to where the light hit the surface of Equestria. It got brighter and brighter, then the mood itself shot a beam of light at the star. It was about two minuets after the moon shot the beam of light before the middle star started to move. Closer and Closer as it made its way to Equestria. Then somepony teleported into my house, but they weren't alone. "WHAT DID YOU DO TWILIGHT!" Celestia asked with a look of shock on her face. Luna stood there looking worried. "I-I don't know! Why?" "A star is falling from the sky!" She said. "Do you know what that means?!" I shook my head. "It means," Luna started. "that you summoned a pony out of the stars Twilight Sparkle." She said. "H-how?" "I have no id-" Before Celestia could finish there was a bright flash of light, before there was a shockwave that shook my house as well as the rest of Ponyville. "We need to go find where it landed!" "Sister we not know what came. It could be a demon or something." "Whatever Twilight summoned, we need to find out..." Celestia said stairing at me. I nodded, and followed Celestia outside as Luna tried to calm the Ponyvillians. We followed the plumbing tower of smoke. It didn't take long as we made our way deep into a clearing in the Everfree forest. It was hot seeing the ground was covered in hot rocks, but I used a Heat Sheild Spell to get closer. Celestia used her wings to blow away the smoke allowing us to see a pony standing, although his eyes were closed. "Oh....Mother of me..." Celestia said landing. "Its....a pony." "An alicorn...." I said. He was white with a slight glow, and his mane was mostly white, with a few red highlights. "So...What now?" I asked. "I-I......have no idea....I guess...talk to him, ask some questions...." "Well, lets take him back to my house..." Its Alive"Do you think he's alive?" Asked Rarity. "I mean as handsome as he looks. It would be a shame if he wasn't." "The question is how did Twilight summon an Alicorn." Celestia commented. "How did he fall to Equestria?" "I...the stars...they just....shot him out of the sky." "Well he is really bright, that's for sure." Rainbow Dash said. "So he must be a star for real!" "Now calm down Rainbow, you already got Sorian." "Can we please stop talking about nothing, and start thinking on why he hasn't opened his eyes, or even moved because it was hard moving a rock!" I yelled. "Rarity should know how that feels!" Rarity's mouth dropped, but she shook off the shock. "I THOUGHT we would NEVER speak of that again!" I sighed. "Sorry, anyways what do you think his name is?" "Its Star Chaser. I'm pleased to meet you Twilight, Celestia, Luna, Rainbow Dash, and the Lovely Rarity." "How do you know our names, and why are your eyes still closed?" "I just adjusted my physical appearance by transferring my superheated core into a physical body capable of not incinerating this entire planet." He said. "I am still trying to dull my light to optical levels without blinding you all in a mear second." "English please?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I just shape shifted into your physical form, and still not trying to burn your eye sockets." Star said flatly. "Interesting, but how do you know all of our names?" "I've seen your world for over 30,000 years, and just being in space watching you ponies. Through its wars, and fights. Do you know how boring it is floating around in space, with nothing to do?" "So...Do you know how our mother and father....died?" "The War..." He said, then he looked at me with a smile, even though his eyes were still closed. "Ah Twilight Sparkle, I would thank you for bringing be here, but I still haven't for out how you mannaged to pull me out of the sky." "We are trying to figure out that as well Star." Celestia said, and Luna nodded in agreement. "Something more powerful then magic...and since we're talking about Twilight here with her current problem..." I could feel my face blushing up, and turning all shades of red. "Not to worry Twilight, I find the fact you used your want of a stallion that loved you for who you are. Even though I am over a million years old...Do you think we could make it work?" "I-w-w-w" "Ah hahaha looky here! Somepony is speechless....I was joking by the way. I don't think I could be down here for as long as you think. My brothers, and sisters are already trying to bring me back. It will be about a month or so until they have the power to bring me back." "So, where would you like to stay until then?" Rarity asked. "I'm sure I can let you use my spare room." "No need Rarity, see...stars don't sleep, we just...watch...and learn about the creatures all over the universe." "Wait," I said. " you said you changed you physical form, doesn't that mean you'll fall asleep?" "Now that you think about it, I guess your right. Although not anytime soon, because it will be another day before I can even open my eyes. Until then, Twilight, can I stay here? I promise I won't burn your house down." "UuuuuuuggggghhUuuuuuuggggghh.....s-sure....I guess I could let you use my spare bed." "I thank you, now it's about morning, and Celestia, you have a Sun to move." Celestia nodded and left with Luna, although everypony left leaving me with Star Chaser. His glow started to fade as he sat on his bed. I watched as his body heat warmed the room to a comfortable temperature. He smiled slightly. "Do you need something?" He asked. "Are you really as old as you say you are?" "Yes, I am....Why?" "N-no reason...." "Do you find me attractive? I sense your heart rate increasing rapidly. Not to mention your eyes have dilated, and you....erm...mare parts have relaxed." "I'm not a book! So stop reading!" He laughed. "Alright...What ever you say Twilight Sparkle." I jumped onto my bed finally ready to sleep, but something felt.....off. "So...you know everything, and everypony here?" "If I tried," he said. "and Equestria is only just a part of your planet, then your space system, galaxy, and so on." "How can you see, when your eyes are closed?" I asked. "One doesn't need their eyes to see Me. Sparkle." He answered. I moved around in my bed, getting ready to sleep, hopefully for a few hours. "Good Luck on tommorow Twilight." "Thanks..." Pressing Matters[Part:1/2]"And lastly this is Sugar Cube Corner!" I said. "My best friend Pinkie Pie lives here!" "She's the element of laughter you told me about....right?" Star asked rubbing his eyes with a yawn. "Oh, sorry...I...haven't yawned before..." "Looks like somepony is tired!" I said with a light smile. "Maybe its time to introduce sugar to your new body." "Sugar? Oh you mean C6H12O6? Well I'm sure some hydrogen will perk me right up!" I rolled my eyes. "Whatever....but I'm glad your not dumb....I thought I was the only smart one here..." We walked into Sugar Cube Corner seeing Pinkie Pie had just cleaned the place up. She gave her natural smile, and walked over to Star, and I. "Hiya!" She said. "Oh who's this? You look kinda cute!" "His name is St-" "My name is Star Chaser....sorry Twilight, but I think it's better in introduce myself." He said. "And thank you for the compliment Pinkie Pie." "How does he know my name?" Pinkie Pie asked, "WAIT DON'T TELL ME! Can you read minds?" Star gave a light laugh to Pinkie's question. "Sadly no, but I can read expressions, and body movements down to a fine point." "Oh," Pinkie said, "So you have an eagle's eye?" "No...see I come from S-" "Saddle Arabia!" I blurted. "He's from Saddle Arabia!" "Twilight?" Star asked looking at me with a confused look on his face. I returned it with a glare that he quickly got. "She's right!" He said quickly. "Its nice and cool here. I like it!" "So are you here because you want to try my superawesomedeliciousrainbowsupreme Cupcakes?" "Does it have alot of um....su-gar?" "Is that from Saddle Arabia? Because I haven't heard of that before!" Pinkie Pie said. "Pinkie he means sugar..." I said flatly. "Oh, yeah they have over four pounds of sugar in a single cupcake!" "PINKIE!" I yelled. "That's enough to give a pony a heart attack!" "Not for me!" She said. "I ate four this morning!" "You ate 12 pounds of sugar.....this...morning?" I asked in complete shock. "YEPAROINE!" I facehoofed. "Ugh....Star do you think that's enough?" "I went through 9,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 megatons of hydrogen, and other atoms in at LEAST ten minutes." "T-that's alot!" "So is that a yes...or.....a no?" "Yes....I can Pinkie Pie." Pinkie Pie rushed into the back, and started to make the cupcakes, as me and Star went to go sit down at a nearby table. He rubbed his eyes again with a yawn. He shook his head in response, but his glow was nearly gone at this point. It was a magical glow that I think only unicorns, or pegasi could see due to our magical tallents. "You okay Star?" I asked. He responded with a slow nod. "Y-y-yeah....I'm just....ugh...I don't even know..." he said as his eyes slowly shut. "HEY!" I yelled. His eyes shot open. "YES!? Oh...sorry." "You were about to go to sleep." "I....don't....exactly feel well..." "What do you mean?" I asked, a bit concerned. "Is everything alright?" He looked down as if he was missing something. "M-my neckless!" He blurted out. "Where's my neckless!?" "You didn't have one when you landed." "It must of fallen off!" he said then he yawned. I saw his eyes shut again, and his coat turned black along with his mane. "S-Star? STAR?! STAR!" "PINKIE ORDER THE CUPCAKE TO MY HOUSE!" I yelled. "Why?" "We need to go!" I picked up the large alicorn with my magic, and teleported into my house. Spike was walking down stairs, and saw Star in the state he was in. "Is that the stallion that was in our house last night?" "Yes Spike, but right now I need you send Celestia a letter for her to go look around the crash site!" "Crash site?" "She'll know what I mean. Just write the letter quickly!" "On it!" I looked down at star as his coat started to drop ash. "Please don't die...." I said, "I-I don't want to keep looking..." He moved slightly, but was still asleep. His mane at this point stopped moving, and was turning into an ashish tone. He coughed a bit right as Spike came back in with a letter. "Read this, oh and here!" he said handing out a bone with a triangle that had a dot in the center. It had a looped string through a hole that seemed to be drilled into it. I grabbed the letter and started to read it. "Dear Twilight, I am one step ahead of you, and looked into the crash site. I saw the untouched neckless, and picked it up. I didn't know what it was for, but it seems that this morning I felt HIS energy weaken. So I think it may help him, if he had it on." -Princess Celestia I slowly set the neckless around his neck, and his color started to return, and his mane started to turn from black to white over, and over again. He opened his eyes, and he smiled. "I heard what you said..." Pressing Matters [Part:2/2]"I heard what you said...." "I-I only said that because you.....you only just got here." I said pretending to get angry. "Why didn't you notice that you didn't have your neckless before hoof?!" He paused of a second. "Hmmm...I suppose your right..." He said. "I'm sorry about that then." 'That was a close one!' I thought. I helped Star up, and he laughed. "What a day!" He yelped. "Who said that everypony lives once?!" "Um....I don't know." I said. "Wait...how did you get so much energy in the first place?" "Hm?Oh, right...see my neckless is like my core! Without it....I would die in a violent explosion!" "Twilight..." Spike started. "Can you explain to my why we have a undead alicorn in our home?" "It's a long story..." "Well Twilight I got 2,988 years left before I die, so go ahead!" "Spike I am from space, and Twilight here booted me from it, and now I muat wait for my brothers and sisters to take me back." Star said. "Long story into one really short one." "So what your saying is...your an alien?" "Sort of, but no. I'm a star, in which she now controls." "Whatever..."Spike said walking back upstairs. "So are you sure you're alright Star, because..." "I'm sure I'm fine Twilight, but thanks for asking." He said. "Mind if we go take a look outside. You know...walk for a bit?" "You just almost died Star!" "So?" "UGH! Fine, but when you are ablut to die..." "Don't worry Twilight, I'm said I was fine. I wouldn't lie to you." He smiled lightly. "Come on! Please, I've watched your planet for along time now, so I know a place....you may like." "Fine.." He grabbed me, and pulled me close to him soit causedme to blush. "You are about to have you mind blone away!" He closed his eyes, as his horn let up the dimmly lit living space. With a flash however it caused me to close my eyes, although when I opened them I saw the most beautiful scenery. "Welcome to Hoofpan!" "This is Hoofpan?" I asked looking at all the blossoming flowers, and plum trees and their peddles flying everywhere. Ponies in the distance, working. "W-why did you take me here?" "Do you not like it....master?" My eyes shot open, "Don't....call me that!" I barked. "In no way am I your master." "You wanted a celestial body to control, and you could use a wish....to end that." "What do you mean?" "You can use your last two wishes to end all of this. One to end your control over me, and the other to send me back." He said. "Although....you saved my life, and I....wouldn't like...it." With another flash we were back in my house. Spike clearly almost had a heart attack, and he screamed. "Stop teleporting!" He yelled. "Nearly scared the shit out of me..." I rolled my eyes in responce, and looked at Star whom looked tired. "Ready to sleep now Star?" He nodded, "I guess so..." Wishes'O Three"Good morning Twilight!" Star said still sitting in his bed. "You look peaceful when you sleep. All relaxed, and tranquil, its quite pleasant....Spike on the other hand had a panic attack when he woke up last night." "Well I almost had a panic attack when I saw you, for a twelve year old, Spike still has the childish aspect I still love." I said getting out of my bed, and making my way to my dresser where by brush lay. "How was your night?" "Sad...Although its bad news for me, but good news for you." "Oh? What would that be....if I may ask?" "It seems your magic has brought be down here longer then my brother and sisters expected. They told me it would be at least six months, maybe longer. It all depends really, if you give up the hold you have on me, or not." "I don't think I know how? Well, yet anyways." I said as I finished up, and turning towards Star. It was brighter now so I got a better look at his physical features. He was a multi-toned grayish white, with mane that shifted in between two different colors, black then white, but it still had a streak of red running through the center of his mane. His body was shifting as well, probably because he wasn't quite done reshaping. "I have yet to know why you stair at me Twilight Sparkle." I blushed as I reentered Equestria after focusing on his physical form. "Oh...I'm just looking on how your mane changes colors." I answered, and deep down I knew it was a lie. He looked really cute seeing his body shape, and how nice his voice was. Soothing and low as if he was always humming. "C-can I feel your mane?" "Be my guest!" He answered. I brushed my hoof in his mane, and saw a glimpse of the night sky as I closed my eye. I saw figures made of pure light look at me, some angry, some sad. "T-they're...mad..Why?" "I was kept the wishes of all the ponies, and other races in this quadrant of the Hoofy Way." He said. "That reminds me, you never wished upon a star in your life." "I thought of it as a myth, or folk lore for ponies to get their ways by making 'hopeful' wishes." I said. "But are wishes granted?" "To those whom ask for something that they deeply need." He said as I finished brushing my hoof through his shifting mane. "You have wishes of three." "Why only three?" "That's all you'll need Twilight." He said with a smile. "You'll know what to wish when the time comes. but be sure to ask all three before I need to leave." "O-okay...hmmm...." "Don't think too deeply, because I think I smell smoke of the gears turning to much!" Star laughed. "I wish.....I wish....I had a celestial body to move!" "Granted!" "What is the celestial body?" "What do you think?" "I don't know...tell me." "You're looking at it right now, if that's a hint Twilight." My jaw dropped in shock. He allowed me to control him! Just like that?! "No way!" "Oh way indeed Ms. Sparkle!" He said standing up. "Look at into my eyes, and see what you control." He opened his eyes slowly, as light faded the more his eyes opened. I looked into them, and saw a deep red star at least three million times the size of Celestia's sun. Although that wasn't all I saw, I saw a being standing on two legs, in a upright fashion. It looked at me with a slight smile, although a tear was going down his face. He opened his mouth, and I heard the same low tone in his voice, in a long drawn out song that seemed to be endless. "What's that noise?" I asked. "All stars aren't silent as you think. We make low songs, that get lower slightly every year we are alive, until we die." "T-that's sad...Why don't stars leave the sky?" "Its a long story Twilight, but to sum it up...we did something unforgivable." "What did you do?" "We threatened the gods, of dark and light." He said. "We said if we didn't get to live for a long time...we would take away the light from the universe. We got our wish....but we were banished to the skys for an eternity." "Why did you want to live longer?" "Because....we wanted long lives so we could gain knowledge, but the gods thought of it as a threat." "So knowledge really is power?" "Exactly Twilight..." "Why do you want to go back up?" I asked. "I mean if you were banished, take this as a way to get out of jail free!" He backed away, and closed his eyes as a tear flowed down his face. "They're my family, and space is my home." Star said. "Have you ever been forced to leave your family?" He asked. "Have you ever felt the pain of being away from the place you hold most?" "My family has never been stripped away, and I have felt the pain....of leaving your home behind. Often when I sleep....I dream of when I was just a little filly." Star stood up, and his head almost touched the roof of the room. "I would like to see the place you call home Twilight." "Y-your....tall." I said as I got a good glimpse of his 'undercarriage'. I turned away blushing. "C-come on...!" I barely managed to say.
WishesLove is a bipolar emotion to deal with. Love is not only that, but it's a way to connect to your special somepony.

I shifted around, before I was comfortable. Like every night, I shed a tear, for hope of the future. "Oh stars of Luna's night, help me find the one just for me..." I said.

"No need Rarity, see...stars don't sleep, we just...watch...and learn about the creatures all over the universe." "Wait," I said. " you said you changed you physical form, doesn't that mean you'll fall asleep?" "Now that you think about it, I guess your right. Although not anytime soon, because it will be another day before I can even open my eyes. Until then, Twilight, can I stay here? I promise I won't burn your house down." "UuuuuuuggggghhUuuuuuuggggghh.....s-sure....I guess I could let you use my spare bed." "I thank you, now it's about morning, and Celestia, you have a Sun to move." Celestia nodded and left with Luna, although everypony left leaving me with Star Chaser. His glow started to fade as he sat on his bed. I watched as his body heat warmed the room to a comfortable temperature. He smiled slightly. "Do you need something?" He asked. "Are you really as old as you say you are?" "Yes, I am....Why?" "N-no reason...." "Do you find me attractive? I sense your heart rate increasing rapidly. Not to mention your eyes have dilated, and you....erm...mare parts have relaxed." "I'm not a book! So stop reading!" He laughed. "Alright...What ever you say Twilight Sparkle." I jumped onto my bed finally ready to sleep, but something felt.....off. "So...you know everything, and everypony here?" "If I tried," he said. "and Equestria is only just a part of your planet, then your space system, galaxy, and so on." "How can you see, when your eyes are closed?" I asked. "One doesn't need their eyes to see Me. Sparkle." He answered. I moved around in my bed, getting ready to sleep, hopefully for a few hours. "Good Luck on tommorow Twilight." "Thanks..."
Pressing Matters[Part:1/2]"And lastly this is Sugar Cube Corner!" I said. "My best friend Pinkie Pie lives here!" "She's the element of laughter you told me about....right?" Star asked rubbing his eyes with a yawn. "Oh, sorry...I...haven't yawned before..." "Looks like somepony is tired!" I said with a light smile. "Maybe its time to introduce sugar to your new body." "Sugar? Oh you mean C6H12O6? Well I'm sure some hydrogen will perk me right up!" I rolled my eyes. "Whatever....but I'm glad your not dumb....I thought I was the only smart one here..." We walked into Sugar Cube Corner seeing Pinkie Pie had just cleaned the place up. She gave her natural smile, and walked over to Star, and I. "Hiya!" She said. "Oh who's this? You look kinda cute!" "His name is St-" "My name is Star Chaser....sorry Twilight, but I think it's better in introduce myself." He said. "And thank you for the compliment Pinkie Pie." "How does he know my name?" Pinkie Pie asked, "WAIT DON'T TELL ME! Can you read minds?" Star gave a light laugh to Pinkie's question. "Sadly no, but I can read expressions, and body movements down to a fine point." "Oh," Pinkie said, "So you have an eagle's eye?" "No...see I come from S-" "Saddle Arabia!" I blurted. "He's from Saddle Arabia!" "Twilight?" Star asked looking at me with a confused look on his face. I returned it with a glare that he quickly got. "She's right!" He said quickly. "Its nice and cool here. I like it!" "So are you here because you want to try my superawesomedeliciousrainbowsupreme Cupcakes?" "Does it have alot of um....su-gar?" "Is that from Saddle Arabia? Because I haven't heard of that before!" Pinkie Pie said. "Pinkie he means sugar..." I said flatly. "Oh, yeah they have over four pounds of sugar in a single cupcake!" "PINKIE!" I yelled. "That's enough to give a pony a heart attack!" "Not for me!" She said. "I ate four this morning!" "You ate 12 pounds of sugar.....this...morning?" I asked in complete shock. "YEPAROINE!" I facehoofed. "Ugh....Star do you think that's enough?" "I went through 9,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 megatons of hydrogen, and other atoms in at LEAST ten minutes." "T-that's alot!" "So is that a yes...or.....a no?" "Yes....I can Pinkie Pie." Pinkie Pie rushed into the back, and started to make the cupcakes, as me and Star went to go sit down at a nearby table. He rubbed his eyes again with a yawn. He shook his head in response, but his glow was nearly gone at this point. It was a magical glow that I think only unicorns, or pegasi could see due to our magical tallents. "You okay Star?" I asked. He responded with a slow nod. "Y-y-yeah....I'm just....ugh...I don't even know..." he said as his eyes slowly shut. "HEY!" I yelled. His eyes shot open. "YES!? Oh...sorry." "You were about to go to sleep." "I....don't....exactly feel well..." "What do you mean?" I asked, a bit concerned. "Is everything alright?" He looked down as if he was missing something. "M-my neckless!" He blurted out. "Where's my neckless!?" "You didn't have one when you landed." "It must of fallen off!" he said then he yawned. I saw his eyes shut again, and his coat turned black along with his mane. "S-Star? STAR?! STAR!" "PINKIE ORDER THE CUPCAKE TO MY HOUSE!" I yelled. "Why?" "We need to go!" I picked up the large alicorn with my magic, and teleported into my house. Spike was walking down stairs, and saw Star in the state he was in. "Is that the stallion that was in our house last night?" "Yes Spike, but right now I need you send Celestia a letter for her to go look around the crash site!" "Crash site?" "She'll know what I mean. Just write the letter quickly!" "On it!" I looked down at star as his coat started to drop ash. "Please don't die...." I said, "I-I don't want to keep looking..." He moved slightly, but was still asleep. His mane at this point stopped moving, and was turning into an ashish tone. He coughed a bit right as Spike came back in with a letter. "Read this, oh and here!" he said handing out a bone with a triangle that had a dot in the center. It had a looped string through a hole that seemed to be drilled into it. I grabbed the letter and started to read it. "Dear Twilight, I am one step ahead of you, and looked into the crash site. I saw the untouched neckless, and picked it up. I didn't know what it was for, but it seems that this morning I felt HIS energy weaken. So I think it may help him, if he had it on." -Princess Celestia I slowly set the neckless around his neck, and his color started to return, and his mane started to turn from black to white over, and over again. He opened his eyes, and he smiled. "I heard what you said..."
Pressing Matters [Part:2/2]"I heard what you said...." "I-I only said that because you.....you only just got here." I said pretending to get angry. "Why didn't you notice that you didn't have your neckless before hoof?!" He paused of a second. "Hmmm...I suppose your right..." He said. "I'm sorry about that then." 'That was a close one!' I thought. I helped Star up, and he laughed. "What a day!" He yelped. "Who said that everypony lives once?!" "Um....I don't know." I said. "Wait...how did you get so much energy in the first place?" "Hm?Oh, right...see my neckless is like my core! Without it....I would die in a violent explosion!" "Twilight..." Spike started. "Can you explain to my why we have a undead alicorn in our home?" "It's a long story..." "Well Twilight I got 2,988 years left before I die, so go ahead!" "Spike I am from space, and Twilight here booted me from it, and now I muat wait for my brothers and sisters to take me back." Star said. "Long story into one really short one." "So what your saying is...your an alien?" "Sort of, but no. I'm a star, in which she now controls." "Whatever..."Spike said walking back upstairs. "So are you sure you're alright Star, because..." "I'm sure I'm fine Twilight, but thanks for asking." He said. "Mind if we go take a look outside. You know...walk for a bit?" "You just almost died Star!" "So?" "UGH! Fine, but when you are ablut to die..." "Don't worry Twilight, I'm said I was fine. I wouldn't lie to you." He smiled lightly. "Come on! Please, I've watched your planet for along time now, so I know a place....you may like." "Fine.." He grabbed me, and pulled me close to him soit causedme to blush. "You are about to have you mind blone away!" He closed his eyes, as his horn let up the dimmly lit living space. With a flash however it caused me to close my eyes, although when I opened them I saw the most beautiful scenery. "Welcome to Hoofpan!" "This is Hoofpan?" I asked looking at all the blossoming flowers, and plum trees and their peddles flying everywhere. Ponies in the distance, working. "W-why did you take me here?" "Do you not like it....master?" My eyes shot open, "Don't....call me that!" I barked. "In no way am I your master." "You wanted a celestial body to control, and you could use a wish....to end that." "What do you mean?" "You can use your last two wishes to end all of this. One to end your control over me, and the other to send me back." He said. "Although....you saved my life, and I....wouldn't like...it." With another flash we were back in my house. Spike clearly almost had a heart attack, and he screamed. "Stop teleporting!" He yelled. "Nearly scared the shit out of me..." I rolled my eyes in responce, and looked at Star whom looked tired. "Ready to sleep now Star?" He nodded, "I guess so..."
Wishes'O Three"Good morning Twilight!" Star said still sitting in his bed. "You look peaceful when you sleep. All relaxed, and tranquil, its quite pleasant....Spike on the other hand had a panic attack when he woke up last night." "Well I almost had a panic attack when I saw you, for a twelve year old, Spike still has the childish aspect I still love." I said getting out of my bed, and making my way to my dresser where by brush lay. "How was your night?" "Sad...Although its bad news for me, but good news for you." "Oh? What would that be....if I may ask?" "It seems your magic has brought be down here longer then my brother and sisters expected. They told me it would be at least six months, maybe longer. It all depends really, if you give up the hold you have on me, or not." "I don't think I know how? Well, yet anyways." I said as I finished up, and turning towards Star. It was brighter now so I got a better look at his physical features. He was a multi-toned grayish white, with mane that shifted in between two different colors, black then white, but it still had a streak of red running through the center of his mane. His body was shifting as well, probably because he wasn't quite done reshaping. "I have yet to know why you stair at me Twilight Sparkle." I blushed as I reentered Equestria after focusing on his physical form. "Oh...I'm just looking on how your mane changes colors." I answered, and deep down I knew it was a lie. He looked really cute seeing his body shape, and how nice his voice was. Soothing and low as if he was always humming. "C-can I feel your mane?" "Be my guest!" He answered. I brushed my hoof in his mane, and saw a glimpse of the night sky as I closed my eye. I saw figures made of pure light look at me, some angry, some sad. "T-they're...mad..Why?" "I was kept the wishes of all the ponies, and other races in this quadrant of the Hoofy Way." He said. "That reminds me, you never wished upon a star in your life." "I thought of it as a myth, or folk lore for ponies to get their ways by making 'hopeful' wishes." I said. "But are wishes granted?" "To those whom ask for something that they deeply need." He said as I finished brushing my hoof through his shifting mane. "You have wishes of three." "Why only three?" "That's all you'll need Twilight." He said with a smile. "You'll know what to wish when the time comes. but be sure to ask all three before I need to leave." "O-okay...hmmm...." "Don't think too deeply, because I think I smell smoke of the gears turning to much!" Star laughed. "I wish.....I wish....I had a celestial body to move!" "Granted!" "What is the celestial body?" "What do you think?" "I don't know...tell me." "You're looking at it right now, if that's a hint Twilight." My jaw dropped in shock. He allowed me to control him! Just like that?! "No way!" "Oh way indeed Ms. Sparkle!" He said standing up. "Look at into my eyes, and see what you control." He opened his eyes slowly, as light faded the more his eyes opened. I looked into them, and saw a deep red star at least three million times the size of Celestia's sun. Although that wasn't all I saw, I saw a being standing on two legs, in a upright fashion. It looked at me with a slight smile, although a tear was going down his face. He opened his mouth, and I heard the same low tone in his voice, in a long drawn out song that seemed to be endless. "What's that noise?" I asked. "All stars aren't silent as you think. We make low songs, that get lower slightly every year we are alive, until we die." "T-that's sad...Why don't stars leave the sky?" "Its a long story Twilight, but to sum it up...we did something unforgivable." "What did you do?" "We threatened the gods, of dark and light." He said. "We said if we didn't get to live for a long time...we would take away the light from the universe. We got our wish....but we were banished to the skys for an eternity." "Why did you want to live longer?" "Because....we wanted long lives so we could gain knowledge, but the gods thought of it as a threat." "So knowledge really is power?" "Exactly Twilight..." "Why do you want to go back up?" I asked. "I mean if you were banished, take this as a way to get out of jail free!" He backed away, and closed his eyes as a tear flowed down his face. "They're my family, and space is my home." Star said. "Have you ever been forced to leave your family?" He asked. "Have you ever felt the pain of being away from the place you hold most?" "My family has never been stripped away, and I have felt the pain....of leaving your home behind. Often when I sleep....I dream of when I was just a little filly." Star stood up, and his head almost touched the roof of the room. "I would like to see the place you call home Twilight." "Y-your....tall." I said as I got a good glimpse of his 'undercarriage'. I turned away blushing. "C-come on...!" I barely managed to say.
