Once upon a time, far, far away, past the moon and beyond the stars, lived two friends named Stella and Luna.
Stella sparkled like a supernova, her laughter echoing through the cosmos. Luna, with her gentle glow, always knew how to make the stars twinkle brighter.
"Look!" Stella exclaimed one day, her voice echoing through their starry home. "A shooting star! But... it's going the wrong way!"
Luna gasped. "It's heading straight for... Earth!"
Stella and Luna knew Earthlings cherished fallen stars. They'd heard whispers of wishes made on twinkling lights. They had to do something!
With a whoosh and a whirl, they hopped into their stardust-powered spaceship. It shimmered and shone, fueled by laughter and starlight.
Zooming through the cosmos, they chased after the wayward star. It zipped and zoomed, leaving a glittery trail like a cosmic ribbon.
"We're getting close!" Luna cried, maneuvering the ship with a flick of her wrist. "Get ready, Stella!"
As the Earth grew bigger and bigger, Stella stretched out her arms. With a giggle and a twirl, she scooped up the falling star.
The star, small and warm in her hands, twinkled with surprise. It had never been caught before! "Don't worry," whispered Stella, "We're taking you to Earth!"
They landed their spaceship gently on a hilltop, the grass sparkling with morning dew. The air buzzed with the chirps of waking birds.
Stella held out her hands, and the star leaped into the sky, exploding into a shower of shimmering dust. "Go on," she whispered, "Make someone's wish come true."
As the first rays of dawn kissed the earth, Stella and Luna watched from their spaceship, hearts full of joy. They knew, somewhere, someone's wish was about to come true.
