Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

The letters were only for the family members to read, but she allowed her two inquisitive students, Aurora and Steller to read it.

But once, Stellar opened his big mouth, she asked Hailey to punish him. And that's why the two stars had to change their celestial forms to animalistic ones, so they couldn't be discovered.

The process took some time for the two stars. And they felt pain as the formation took over their bodies. It was something that can be compared to how one has to learn how to see light (day) from being in the dark (night) for so long.

They could not just turn into animals with a snap of the finger for that would hurt like the release of an elastic rubber band. But the deed was done, without any complications.

Jackson told his sister that he met two curious humans with weird helmets known as 'astronauts' on the moon. It was hard to trust them at first, but after spending some quality time chatting together, a sense of assurance developed.

Thus, within their hands Astronauts Buzz and Arm did their duties allowing Jimmy to know about his siblings and their dysfunctional family.

As Jillian beamed into the universe, a reflection of herself appeared in the mirror. She frowned, but was satisfied that the letters were now delivered to her little brother.

Jillian knew she'd never get to hug him again, but a "twinkle in the sky" and a star named after him was what she could do in his remembrance.

Just then Jillian heard another voice behind her. She felt a warm breeze over her shoulder and knew her visitor finally arrived.

Her older brother's presence visited her quite often due to his loneliness on the moon. And she was always happy to hear from him.

"Who's that?" It was a friendly whisper that probably was pinpointing to the newborn star.

Looking back at his mirror image, she answered him.

"It's a new star, Jack ... and I named him 'Jimbob' after Jimmy!"

Jack's hologram nodded as he agreed with her choice.

Their father granted them one wish since they were not physically happy being a part of his life.

But what has been done cannot be erased as turning back time was not the answer here.

Jillian and Jackson turned back to face "Jimbob". In time, the celestial being would form into their little brother's features, but for now it was just a speck of light.

"Now, you'll never be alone Jimmy! His soul will be here with us soon Jack when the time comes!"

Jillian wiped a tear upon her brow.

"There's never a dull moment here, right Jack?"

"I could say the same thing, Jill ... if I were physically there with you".

~~
And as the stars are reborn again, so would Jack and Jill. But be rest assured, this wasn't meant to be a drama story ... it was more of a lesson their father from above taught them, by allowing the siblings to revisit a time when all was peaceful within the Marquez family.

It's more of Edmund's understanding that humans and creatures out of this world could not live together. They belonged in separate dimensions, for they should not be allowed to see each other's distress.

But again once opposites attract, there isn't any way you can turn back.

And as for Jimmy ... he got married, had a son and daughter he named after his siblings and stayed in the town of Truth and Consequences till his death.

Jimmy always felt guilty as he believed that it was he who had paid a price for his siblings' s disappearances.

And Jimmy's children are the real characters that are in the Jack and Jill nursery rhyme!

They went up that hill to fetch that pail of water for their pet dog who they named Tom Tom, never knowing that once their aunt and uncle once endured the same thing.

The similarities in the names aren't supposed to be quite a shocker either, because whatever happens in Truth and Consequences was never unusual! You either have to learn how to accept the cold hard truth or face the consequences.

ɴᴀʀʀᴀᴛᴏʀ:

Once you made a deal with Brutus, there wasn't any way you can go back to what happened before. Behind the 'Man in the Mirror', Edmund and the mythological creatures were caught under his spell. Thus, Brutus could be compared to a leader of a Beasty kind of mafia.

The medallion that was found in that labyrinth was his and once it broke apart in the warp zone, the feverish spell was doomed. It killed the dark realm of the Abyss, as an explosion burst and mayhem occured. The mythological beings scattered all around the fields, just to find out that they too would soon perish as the land encaved them in.

However, all the fairies and their unicorns became part of the new realm, the 2nd version of the Milky Way.

We could say that everything ended happily ever after, but we'll never know that, would we? Did "they" really want something like this?

These are the final words of the starry zones.

The End.
