Asha and Valentino begin trekking through the forest toward the cottage they call home. Asha tells Valentino to head back without her.

"Is everything ok?" he asked, looking up at her. She squats down so her eye level matches his.

"Yeah, I just need some time alone to reflect," she assures him.

"I understand, see you when you get back," he responded. He begins to prance down the path that leads to their cottage while Asha starts to head up the path that leads to the Wishing Tree.

She starts to reflect on the past. She recalls the night she first wished upon a star, all the way to the defeat of King Magnifico. She remembered that feeling she had when she saw everyone's hearts glow when the king tried to break their spirits. From that day on, she knew not even the clouds could hide the stars because we are stars.

Song Idea: One about how time and stories are the legacy one leaves behind. The one she sings about is the time the Wishing Star fell from the sky to answer her call. At one point Asha sheds some tears as she envisions Saba playing his lute. 

Approaching the Wishing Tree, she begins to climb and notices something new. There is a new star in the night sky. From her perspective, it was slightly above and to the right of the Wishing Star, almost as if it could be the "Second Star to the Right" from Peter Pan.

Asha looked to the wishing star and began to share her new heart's desire.

"Hey, Star. It's Asha. It looks like you got a new friend up there. I have a new wish I'd like to share with you. I wish to see you again. Not just as a star in the sky, but you on Earth." She stops to take a breath, "I understand you have a duty to the cosmos as the Wishing Star, but I thought I should tell you anyway." Asha starts to giggle as a certain memory plays in her head: her first encounter with Star. "I miss that playful spirit of yours. You could put a smile on anyone's face" she admits.

She looks down at the city of Rosas and reflects on the beautiful wishes of the people who are now following their dreams. "Thank you, for being there for me, and for all of us to wish upon" Asha commends. After a short moment of silence, she speaks again. "The next time I wish, I will be back here on the Wishing Tree. Until next time, old friend," she says while climbing down the tree.

Asha begins to walk through the forest toward her cottage when suddenly, a bright light illuminates the night sky. Asha knew it could mean one thing, Star has returned to Earth.

Asha sees a trail of light flying her way. Smiling, she knew who it was immediately. Star flies right into her hands and Asha kisses him on the cheek. Out of pure joy, Star glows brighter and begins to rise, slowly transforming as Asha watches in awe.

Star transforms into a human boy wearing a sorcerer's outfit with a cloak of stars and pointy shoes. He finishes his transformation with his arms and legs extended like a five-pointed star, glowing with a yellow aura. He begins to fly back toward Asha.

"Star?" Asha asks as Star playfully flies around her once.

"Hello Asha," he responds.

"How, I don't... what?" Asha responds not knowing what to say. Star chuckles, understanding her confusion.

"I don't know. I think I'm...evolving!" he responds in amazement. Without speaking he transforms into his first form, then back again. "It's like, I can now reflect stars that have wished upon me". After a small pause, he adds, "Like you". He says this while pointing to Asha's heart as it starts glowing. Asha smiles and starts to chuckle.

"What?", Star asks.

"Nothing just...", Asha trails off, chuckling at a new realization. "I guess I'm going to have to call you something other than Star now," Asha pauses momentarily. "Do you have a name?", she asks.

"I do actually.  It's Earendel. I like Star though, I'll keep it as a nickname," he replies.

"Earendel" she repeats, cementing it in her head. He continues after a small pause to let Asha digest all the new things she just discovered.

"You made a wish to see me again," he says.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to answer so soon. Nonetheless, in a new form," Asha admits. Earendel laughs.

"You and me both," his tone shifts to one of concern. "But, something tells me you weren't just wishing for a reunion,"

"Yes, there is more to it. Let's wait until morning to talk. I've had a busy day" Asha explains.

"Very well," Earendel responds in an understanding tone. As they start walking back toward the cottage, Asha says,

"I know one thing's for sure, Valentino is going to be so happy to see you,"

Moments later, they arrive at the cottage. Opening the door, Asha sees Sakina reading a book with a single candle as her light source.

"Mom, I'm home," Asha announced.

"Asha," Sakina says, happy to see her daughter. "Valentino said you were coming, but I didn't know how long you would be out. Do you know what that light was?"

"Something came up," Asha says, trying to act casually. As if on cue, Star, in his first form, flies in from behind Asha and greets Sakina in his playful way. She gasps.

"What a lovely surprise!" she says. Valentino was resting when Star's signature glow illuminated where he was in the room.

"Ugh, just when I start falling asleep, someone turns on the li...!" Valentino stops mid-sentence, noticing the source of the light. "Star!" He leaps out of his little goat bed and starts to play with him. Star circles around Valentino as he lifts his front hooves off the ground, bleating. Asha and Sakina can't get over how cute this moment is. Earendel decides to stay in his first form for the rest of the night. He knows if he transformed now, he and Asha would be bombarded with many questions. Asha yawns.

"I don't know about all of you, but I've had a long day. Goodnight," says Asha as she climbs upstairs to her room.

"Goodnight baby," Sakina said just before blowing out the candle.
