Wish Granted 🌟👩🏾🎶 (Wish Reimagined)

Chapter 11: (Not So) Jolly Holiday 🐮🐎🐔

Chapter 10

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

We cut to the next morning, where Rosas seems to be returning to mostly normal. The center of the city looks to be back in its former state before Star had charged through the place. The town looks more crowded than usual.

Going to Gabo's hidden shelter, we see Asha had fallen asleep on the mattress, with Valentino snoozing by her feet. The little goat yawned as he stretched his little legs so he could start the new day. Val looked around and noticed the room was unusually quiet.

Valentino leaped onto the other side of the mattress and nudged Asha's arm, but she remained asleep, still holding the newly fixed pencil in her hand. He then walked over to her head and nuzzled her ear, hoping that would do the trick.

Asha's began to shift slightly, but her eyes were still closed. Still half asleep, she tried to shoo the feeling away. "Stop that, we can do that later..." she answered in a groggy voice.

Valentino didn't want to hear anymore of her sleep talking, so he made a rather childish move and licked her ear.

That did the trick. Asha bolted right up and grabbed her left ear. "I don't remember asking for a gross wake up call, Val." she grumbled as she rolled her eyes at the goat.

Valentino snickered and hopped down from the mattress.

Asha yawned and took a stretch. She had been so busy drawing up the next plan to get the wishes, she must've fallen asleep. Before then, the new little team had decided to work together (at least temporarily) to quietly return the wishes. Simon would look for Flazino and gain extra help while Gabo kept an eye out for the king and queen and let Asha and Star know when it was safe to leave.

She figured Simon and Gabo had gone back home until the next day, but didn't know where Star was when she looked around the room. Asha had offered to share her space with Star for the night, but he nervously insisted he'd be more comfortable on the wooden floor. She did wonder why he was shinning so brightly when she offered...

Valentino bleated as he gestured over to the far corner of the other side of the room.

Asha looked over and saw a large glowing dog lying down in the corner with his eyes closed. Now she remembered; When Gabo and Simon had left in the evening, Star stayed with her since he would draw too much attention now. Not to mention that anyone could notify the guards the minute they saw something unusual.

Star's ear perked up as he heard Asha approaching. He opened his eyes and tail started to wag. "Oh good, you're awake! I guess you got a great new plan for us to save those wishes?" he asked, stretching his legs.

"You'd guess right. Once Gabo comes back, we can..." Asha's voice trailed off when she noticed a small area on his shoulder was a dark green. She remembered Magnifico stabbed him there yesterday, but she assumed that it had healed by now.

Asha was going to ask about it until he instantly turned back into his human form.

"You sure sleep a while. I ended up talking to Val here for a few hours until he got tired too." He kneeled down and affectionately rubbed the top of Valentino head. The goat bleated happily.

"Well, I'm glad that— Wait, stars sleep?" Asha asked curiously.

"Oh yeah! Just not as long as humans, though. Yesterday took a lot out of me, I had to sleep an entire hour!"

Asha had to put her several questions about how did that even work like that, but their conversation was cut short when they heard a knock at the door. Gabo's voice immediately followed.

"You guys awake? If you are, please me tell you're not-"

"No, Gabo. Just get in here." Asha sighed in frustration. For some reason this guy thought something weird was happening every time he left them alone.

Gabo quickly entered the room, looked around to make sure he wasn't followed and shut the door behind him. "All right, I got some good news and I got some bad news." His face looked nervous.

Asha braced herself. "What news?"

Gabo straightened up. "Good news is that Simon found where Flazino is!"

"Where'd he find him?"

Gabo winced a little bit as he twisted his hat in his hands. "Wellll....that's the bad news. The thing is, we gotta leave here, like right now. There's tons of guards spread across Rosas. They're looking for you and they're knocking on people's doors to find out if anyone is hiding you and starboy here. They could check this place at any time and I really don't want to be thrown in the dungeon!"

"You know, I wish those two had better things to do than come after us..." Star chuckled, trying to ease the tension.

Asha could feel herself tensing up. It felt like just when she thought she was getting ahead of the royals, they turn out to be two steps ahead of her. She turned to Star and grabbed his shoulders.

"Listen to me, Star. The minute I give you the word, you have to change yourself into something small so they don't see you. Do you understand? I can't let them get you." Her voice was strict, but Star could feel the fear that she attempted to hide in it.

Star gave her a nod. "You got it."

The four of them quickly left Gabo's hideout and saw Simon outside waiting for them. The sleepy teen instructed them to stay close together and avoid looking suspicious. Star and Ashamed had put back on their cloaks, only this time they hoods needed to cover their faces more so than before. More eyes would be looking for them now.

Once they were a safe distance from the hideout, Asha pulled on Simon's baggy sleeve. "Okay, tell me what happened with Flazino."

"When I realized that he never woke me up early for my knight training-had to get an earful from dad-I checked the middle of the town in case he was on tour guide duty. He wasn't there either."

"Might want to speed this up, pal. Guards on duty, remember?" Gabo reminded him as he looked around and gripped the dagger on his belt.

"I went to see if he was home, and his parents acted like I was crazy. They said they didn't even have a son. Its like they forgot he existed. I overheard from one of the guards that Flazino was sent to a dungeon." Simon finished. The group turned a corner and could see way more guards were present in the town than usual.

"I knew there was a dungeon here!" Gabo quietly whispered gleefully. He waa having quite a good time being right lately.

Asha's heart sank. Magnifico had the power to change memories? Even ones of people they've known their whole lives? This was getting more and more dangerous by the hour. She started to believe that even the four of them wouldn't be enough against two powerful sorcerers.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she noticed out of the corner of her eye, she saw Star waved to a couple of girls who were passing by. The girls giggled and waved back at him.

Asha grabbed the back of his hood. "Star, change now."

Star was startled. "Already? We just got out here!"

"Now, Star." she insisted, with more force.

The star didn't argue, he made sure he wasn't seen, and with a small flash, he turned into a little yellow mouse. He was still buried under the cloak and finally poked his head out. "A little help here?" he squeaked.

(Finally got to use this cute concept! Look at him!)

Asha gently picked him up and placed him in the inside of her own cloak. The now rodent star made himself comfortable. "Actually, this isn't so bad. I've never been carried before!" he squeaked.

Asha looked around, and felt something else was off. "If all these guards are here, then where's the king and queen?" Not that she wasn't relieved they weren't around, but it seemed suspicious considering they want the attention of the people every other hour.

"Probably up in their big fancy tower making sure the king's hair doesn't look out of place." Gabo joked.

"Its more because of tonight's wish ceremony. This is the first time they haven't announced themselves in the morning. Or maybe they did, I...haven't gotten much sleep lately." Simon guessed as he rubbed his tired eyes.

"Don't know you know sarcasm when you hear it?" Gabo rolled his eyes.

"I still don't!" Star chimed in.

Carefully walking through the town, the group avoided the sight of the guards. There were even more citizens out this time, all abuzz about the big ceremony tonight. Asha noticed a lot of the adults looked as tired as Simon. Much older ones looked sad or slightly sick like her grandfather, she started to question if they had a connection after their wishes were taken. Still, they didn't stop bustling around in preparation.

Simon led them down a hall near the kitchen. "I know someone who can help us since Flazino's gone. She personally delivers the food to the king."

Asha raised an eyebrow. "How could someone like....wait, don't tell me its-"

"Dahlia! Over here, I need to talk to you!" Simon waved over to a girl dressed in red.

"Be there in just a sec!" she called as she was carefully putting in a tray of spinach puffs oven.

Oh no, there's was no way Asha was going through this. At least at this moment. She had to find a quick excuse to get away and think...

"Can you guys wait here? I don't think Dahlia is ready to meet 'you-know-who' just yet. I'll find somewhere safe to hide him." she hurried herself away before either of the boys could say anything.

When she left, Mouse!Star poked his head out from the hood. "Hey, where are we going?"

"I need to get you somewhere where the guard's won't think to look. At least until we can get away from Dahlia." Asha whispered to Mouse!Star as she looked for a temporary hiding spot.

"Isn't she your friend? Don't you want to talk to her a little bit?" He asked concerned.

"At one point, yes. But that was when we were kids. Now she's been wooed by Magnifico. How do I know if I can even trust her?"

"Well, I know if we got separated for a long time. I would want to talk to you the first chance I got. And I trust you more than anyone."

(*coughcough*)

The girl paused. She hadn't thought about it like that. Asha had very faint memories of Dahlia because of Magnifico practically destroying any good parts of her childhood. Maybe Dahlia did want to reconnect and she was being harsh? Asha felt selfish for thinking of her as a bad guy off the bat. After all, she trusted Star after one musical number.

Asha went to the first door she saw and carefully opened the door. Inside, some of the kingdom's livestock sleeping soundly inside. Perfect. She gently put Valentino and Star down inside.

"Okay, stay right here and don't make a lot of noise. I'll come back when its safe. Valentino, you're in charge for now.'" Asha instructed.

The goat bleated in confirmation, happy to be in charge.

"How long are you gonna be gone?" Star hesitated.

"Not long. Just stay quiet....It should be easy, now that you're in the right form for it." Asha slyly smirked before closing the door.

"Thank you!" Star beamed, then realized what she said. "Oh...she's getting good at doing that. Hehehe." He chuckled to himself.

Asha sighed in relief. Both of them should be safe in there for time being. As she made her way back to Gabo and Simon, she realized that it was a lot quieter without Star being with her. Normally, Asha preferred when she was by herself (or at the very least, Valentino accompanied her) when she was in the Hamlet. Why did it feel strange without him now?

The girl braced herself as she finally joined the others again in the kitchen. Dahlia looked surprised to see her. "Asha! Where have you been? You had me worried after the royals said you were a criminal!"

"Yeah, I've been called that a lot lately..." Asha sighed. "Look, whatever they told you isn't true."

Dahlia placed a hand on Asha's shoulder. "Of course I know you aren't a criminal. I mean what harm could you possibly do?"

Asha, Gabo and Simon exchanged a nervous glance.

"Heck, Flazino even told me this crazy story that the royals are evil and their basically stealing our souls through the wishes!" She let out a laugh as she adjusted her glasses. "Which reminds me, have any of you seen Flazi today? Its been all morning and he hasn't stopped by once. Poor guy looks he needs some sleep."

"Ha! Like Simon here! Guess you guys are more alike than you thought!" Gabo teased as he lightly jabbed Simon with his elbow.

Simon looked half asleep, so he probably didn't even hear him.

"Yeaaaah...that's something we need to talk to you about." Asha tried to get the conversation back on track. She decided to take a chance and tell her the truth. "That's not a story he was telling."

Dahlia's smile faded away as she took a step back. "....What?"

Back in the coop, Valentino made himself comfortable in a pile of hay nearby.

Mouse!Star however was growing a little restless. It wasn't natural for him to just stay in one place for so long, but he could only scurry for so long in there before boredom hit him. He needed to do something keep himself from worrying about Asha.

"Maybe a mouse wasn't such a good idea. What if that lynx comes in eats us?" Star looked around, now slightly panicked.

The goat bleated in reassurance that they would be fine. He suggested the star turn into something else that doesn't stand out.

Valentino gestured to a nearby rooster preening its feathers. Star took a good look and nodded.

In a bright flash, Star had turned himself into a golden phoenix rooster. It was a lot more flashy than he was supposed to be, but he at least got the animal right.

(Yes, I did pick a golden rooster on purpose)

"See? I can blend in easily! We'll just sit here and wait for Asha and other the others." Star assured the goat with a feathered boop on his snout.

"Baaaah....?" Valentino questioned as he took in a mouth full of hay.

"How could I possibly get in trouble here? I don't even know what chickens do." Star responded as he strutted over to a nice pile of straw and made his own nest.

Valentino rolled his eyes. "Baah, Baaaah!"

"THE EGGS COME FROM WHERE??" Star squawked in horror, rattling the other chickens in the room.

The noise unintentionally startled the once asleep animals, causing a minor commotion amongst the poultry and started to awaken the cows. The chickens noticed these new animals were in their home. Valentino was fine, even though he was a little spooked himself.

But Rooster!Star seemed to attract the most attention, as their fear turned into intrigue.

"Hey, hey. Calm down, I'm just your average glowing rooster." He chuckled nervously as he realized he attracted an audience.

One of the chickens inspected Star for a few seconds, then made a happy cooing noise and nuzzled his feather wings with her head.

"See? Told you it wouldn't be a problem." He suddenly noticed that more of them were beginning to gather near him. "Um, should they all be doing this?"

Valentino began to laugh. "Baaaaahh!!" He could barely hold in his laughter.

"WHAT?! Nonononono!!" Rooster!Star started to flap away from the lovestruck birds. "I'm sorry ladies, but I'm not what you think I am!"

Outside, we see Safi carrying an egg basket, preparing to get his daily egg count. He stops just short of opening the door when he's startled by a loud noise. Safi felt a sneeze coming on, and when he felt a sneeze coming, it meant something bad was about to happen.

The other side of the door sounded like something was upsetting the animals, and whatever it is was very loud.

Safi opened the door and saw Rooster!Star getting pecked in the head mercilessly by another rooster taking residence there. It seemed that it felt threatened by another bird taking his territory and attacked him. Star however, had no idea and kept running around trying to escape.

"What's going on here? Why are two you fighting? AAAACHOO!" Safi questioned as he stopped the rooster from assaulting the star further. He picked up both of them in each hand. "I thought you all were getting-"

"He started it!" Rooster!Star exclaimed as he pointed at the angry bird. "I was trying to get away from the others and....he...attacked..." Star's voice faded once he saw Safi's eyes grow wide as he stared back at him.

"Uh....I mean....Cluck?" Star shrugged and shined his teeth that shouldn't exist in his beak.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!" Safi screamed as he fell backwards, causing the two roosters clumsily fly out of his hands. "DEMON ROOSTER!" he shouted, scrambling backwards in fear.

"Demon rooster?! Where?" Star exclaimed as he looked at the bird that attacked him earlier. Unfortunately, he believed this was why he went after him.

The two roosters looked atone another sqwaked in horror and flew away from each other.

Poor Safi couldn't run out of there fast enough as he grabbed the egg basket and slammed the door behind him.

All of the noise spooked the animals once again, with Valentino trying his best to calm everyone down, but it was futile. He gave Rooster!Star a sour look. "BAAAAHH!!" he shouted at him.

"Yeah, yeah, I know!" Star crowed and turned back to his human form. "I'm normally good with animals, well except for that lynx. But I don't know how to calm them down!"

"BAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" Valentino head butted Star's leg in anger.

"All right, all right!" Star started to rub his knuckle into forehead. "Think! Think! Think!" His eyes popped open. "Oh, I know!"

We cut to Hal walking past the group, carrying a few sacks of oats and whistling when she's stopped by a screaming Safi. "Is everything alright, man?"

Safi grabbed Hal by the shirt, "THERE'S SOMETHING EVIL POSSESSING MY CHICKENS! WE NEED TO EXPEL IT! AAACHOO!"

Hal looked at her friend with concern. "Safi, you really need stop visiting those chickens so much. You need a new hobby."

Safi tutted. "That's not important! Its yellow, its glowing and it talks! Its scaring the other animals and I'm pretty sure it put a curse on me!" he was on verge of crying.

Asha heard the frantic teen's cries and her eyes widened. He found Star.

"Look, Dahlia, I'd really love to tell you more, but we really need to go!" She pushed Gabo and Simon away as she tried to leave the conversation.

Unfortunately, Dahlia wasn't taking no for an answer. She stubbornly followed the three of them. "Look, I haven't seen you in years and I now you're running away again? I feel like you're avoiding me. Can you just tell me what's going on here?"

"Nope! Sorry! Need to go right now!" Asha was beginning get irritated. The three of them ran forward to the barn door, only to see Safi, Hal and Dario there.

Asha leaped in front of the door. "WAIT, YOU CAN'T GO IN THERE!"

"Where did you guys even come from?" Simon asked scratching his head.

"Safi's freaking out over some evil glowing chicken that's in there. I don't really get it, but I at least want to help a friend out." Hal explained.

"What about the tall guy?"

"I just wanna to see it up close. It sounds to cool to be evil!" Dario answered with a genuinely friendly smile.

Gabo pointed behind them. "Aaaaand.... what about her?"

Everyone turned and saw Bazeema suddenly behind Dario. Needless to say, a few of them were spooked. Safi ended up blushing now that she was there.

"I...um...just didn't...want to...see the poor thing-"

"Girl, would you please speak up?" Gabo sneered.

Asha took the opportunity to try and quickly see Star, but Dahlia finally caught up and grabbed her shoulder.

"What are you hiding, Asha? No more running away." Dahlia pressed on.

Asha groaned. This was getting more ridiculous by the minute.

"You better just tell them about 'you-know-who', Asha. This ain't gonna end well." Gabo replied, looking impatient.

"Well, the more people I tell, the less of a secret it is, Gabo..." Asha hissed. "Look, if I tell you, you all have to keep quiet, got it? A friend of mine is in there, and-"

"Is that what's scaring the animals and making all that noise? It better not be trying to take my chickens from me!" Safi said, raising the egg basket like was he about to bludgeon someone.

"What noises-"

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! 🐄

"Like that! AAACHOO!" Safi sneezed. "And it's making my allergies act up!"

"What is he doing in there?!" Gabo exclaimed, looking horribly confused.

🎶This might sink in in the morning🎶 🐮

🎶It's like your own origin story!🎶🐔

"There ya go! Move those hooves! Shake those feathers!" 🌟

"Its sounds like a party in there!" Dario said excitedly.

BAAAAAAAAA!!!! BAAAAAA!!! 🐐

"There shouldn't be any party!" Asha exclaimed.

"Move aside, Asha!" Gabo marched over to the barn door and kicked it with all his might.

When the door flung open, a cloud of yellow dust and feathers flew out, making Safi sneeze like crazy.

Asha's eyes widened with horror as she finally got a look inside.

The room was bathed in yellow and purple light as Star conducted the animals with his hands. "Now you're getting the hang of it! Altogether now!" He cheered as he floated in the air.

Safi's chicken's were line dancing on both sides of the room.

The cows were line stepping and bopping their heads in tune to the music of "I'm a Star".

A few of the pigs were gliding around the ceiling oinking away.

And Valentino was practically losing his mind as was jumping up and down trying to pull Star down by his cape, but he was out of reach.

🎶Ooh, you're a star!🎶

🎶Watch out, world, here you are (hey, hey)🎶

🎶You know who's lookin' sharp? (Who?)🎶

🎶You! You're a star!🎶

"Oh, sweet cheese and crackers..." Asha shuddered as she covered her eyes in embarrassment.

Star spread his arms wide and yellow sparkles and fireworks shot from his hands as he greeted them with a big grin. He didn't mean to make a big spectacle as Asha asked, but he couldn't help himself.

And it didn't help that the rest of the animals were posed behind him as if they were on a Broadway show with him.

It took a moment to realize what he had done as he looked at Asha with her face buried in her hands. He looked at the unexpected guests and simply said, "Uh....Hi!" 😁

The Teens stared at the star dumbfounded.

(I know this is from the storyboard, BUT THIS WAS WAY FUNNIER AND MORE EXPRESSIVE. I HAD TO USE IT!! 😂)

Hal finally spoke, "Yeeeeaaaahhhh....that's a big secret."

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

FINAL THOUGHTS

I'M BAAAAAACK! 😃 Its still the holiday season, but I'm still working hard on this story, and I gotta say its fun going back to these guys again! Now that we're slightly over the halfway point, things are gonna start coming together leading to the finale. Like now, we have all teens together as a group! I wanted to lead up to them all meeting each other, but in the most ridiculous way possible. And I confess that the original chicken dance scene was a little funny, just until they started shooting eggs out their asses and it went wrong. So I decided to revamp the scene and turn it into a joke with a purpose. I also wanted to show that Star isn't exactly perfect when it comes to his transformations, and his magical ways with animals has been slightly affected by losing a little bit of his magic. That will come back later, I promise.

AND SAFI SPEAKS! HE ACTUALLY SPEAKS! And it only took 11 chapters for him to have some lines! 😂 Now the tricky part here is to give EVERYONE lines and importance to the story, since everyone is needed for the final battle. As a bonus, I'll be including a lot of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" references now. I genuinely liked the concept itself, I just think the movie missed the chance to have 7-8 characters bounce off each other with banter. They pulled it off 101 years ago, and recently in the 7D, so there's no reason they couldn't have given them better dialogue and purpose besides existing. 😅

It'll be a while before the next chapter, but I hope you enjoy this one! Soon Star and Asha are gonna go through hell soon. (Sorry, guys)

Thanks for reading!
