Dumb theory time:
Asha is Magnifico's daughter, but she was taken by Sakina seeing how cruel and vain he was.

"Wish Granted" AU: Asha
Tumblr media
All right, you voted for Asha and her family first, so here we go! (Above concept art by @ishadow246. Big thanks to them for making this reference sheet, they read my mind and captured her design beautifully!)
So for this Wish AU, Asha was raised partially in Rosas as a kid, but then after father passed, and some of the citizens learned of Magnifico's true intentions, her family and other citizens quietly moved to the Hamlet known as "The Enchanted Forest". (Basically reached age 12 in Rosas, and then 13-18 in the Hamlet.)
As a kid, she was full of curiosity about the world around her, especially wildlife. She learned about how the stars guided people from her father Tomás, which inspired to want to see more of the world outside the Kingdom. When her father grew ill for seemingly unknown reasons, Asha's mother Sakina pleaded with the King to heal him. The man promised her this, but time went on and eventually Tomás passed. Maginifico had never intended to help.
Because of this, Asha grew to be more pessimistic as she got older. She no longer believed in the impossible or anything good to happen relying on magic, or anyone else to solve her problems for that matter. Even so, part of her desire for excitement still lingered, and nobody knew this better than her grandfather Sabino, whom she grew closer with over the years and became a second father to her.
With her wonder all but gone, she would end up getting help to save her family from the most unexpected source. For she wished on a Star, and the Star answered.
Tumblr media
Now since Asha got along with other kids when she was little, part of that still stays with her, as she does read to the other kids there from time to time. (Think of this as a reference to Belle, who also loved to read) Even though she lost part of her childhood, didn't mean they had to lose theirs. So she enjoyed reading stories to them.
As for my choice of a Voice Actress, surprisingly my mother suggested Diamond White. Right now she's mainly known for being Lunella in "Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur" She's already a talented singer and play a range of emotions while still acting in character for her.
youtube
For Sakina, I'm still planning her story out, but I can say that she does have a wish herself. It is in fact is similar to Asha's, but I'll reveal more in the story.
Sabino.....he was so underutilized in the movie, its criminal. Victor Garber deserved better. While he's not 100 years old, he is in his late 80's. Normally, he's a spry old man and actually still carries a lot of youth in his personality. However, with his wish never being granted, its started to affect his health. He does his best to stay active and gives advice to Asha during that "Wishing Tree" Scene. When his health starts to deteriorate faster and renders him nearly bedridden, this starts Asha drive to return to Rosas and save everyone's wishes
Tumblr media
youtube
And lastly: Valentino!
Tumblr media
No, Valentino doesn't speak in this version. 😅 That'll be saved for the end, and he'll be voiced by an actual kid. (Disney, we didn't need a Donkey knock off, you do realize he was a parody right?) He might be only be three weeks old, but he's very attached to Asha from the start. He was a gift to her by Sabino as an early 18th birthday present in case his declining kept him from celebrating it with her.
The little goat is the runt of the litter, but has the heart the size of the forest itself. Always sticking by Asha's side and cheering her up when she really needs it.
Valentino is also very trusting of new people, but when Star comes down he does freak the heck out and doesn't him for a while. I mean he's not even human!
Oh and just as an extra character addition, I'm also having Flazino in this AU, since many people pointed out he was originally part of the film and had a bigger role. He's closest to a human friend Asha has in the Hamlet, as he gives them supplies and updates about the kingdom as Magnifico's apprentice.
That wraps up my first character list! Next up will be Star and then the King and Queen. Hope you enjoyed reading this preview to the story, or have any suggestions in the comments! 🌟

Short snippet of next chapter
“Sakina?” Sabino started watching as she paced around the room, lost in thought. “Sakina are you alright?”
“Alright?” She repeated, as she came to a halt. “No I am not alright!” She turned angrily gesturing to the portrait of a much younger version of herself holding an infant Asha while her husband proudly stood at her side. “How could I be? If you’d have asked me ten years ago who the happiest child in Rosas was then I would’ve told you that it was Asha in a heartbeat. A child who could light up any room she entered with a smile, and dreamed of nothing more than seeing the world and becoming a princess who could see the stars with her prince! But now look at her-,” Sabina’s voice cracked as she rested a hand over her heart. “She never smiles nor sings and The idea of leaving Rosas terrified her. Terrified her Sabino! Like she couldn’t fathom a world outside of Rosas!”
Sabino shook his head as his gaze landed on the family portrait as well. “We never should’ve agreed to let her take that apprenticeship…”
“I only did it because I wanted to believe in him, Sabino. I wanted to believe in the same man that Tomas and the world did!…I thought he would’ve been able to help her with her grief, just as Tomas did with his….But then I see Asha…” she muttered, looking away from the portrait. “And all I know is that someone within that castle broke my daughter’s spirit.”

Tumblr media
Asha's dad bugged me so much-- his design SUCKED! We don't even get a name! So here's my take after getting inspiration from Mustafa from The Prophet. So meet Tomas the Astronomer.
Magnifico's previous kingdom was run by his parents who were gifted mages who helped grant wishes. But after a few spells backfired this caught the attention of the Spanish Inquisition who put Magnifico's parents to death as heretics and burned the city down. Magnifico escaped with the few followers he had, one of them being Asha's dad Tomas.
Tomas was a gifted philosopher and astronomer and he worked with Magnifico as a messenger. Soon the island was established with the new kingdom of Rosas. Still, both Magnifico and Tomas knew many of their people remained scattered and were living in fear under the inquisition. So Tomas went on a pilgrimage for the king to try and help guide their people to their new home as a sanctuary.
Sadly Tomas was caught by the Spanish inquisition and was tortured, demanding for the location of Rosas. But Tomas didn't say a word, he couldn't betray his people. As a result he was executed as a heretic. Sakina was heartbroken, she raised her daughter alone afterwards. She saw a lot of her husband's spirit in Asha and tried to stifle it out of fear she could lose her too for having too many "good ideas".

Wishes to Reality
Chapter 5: the Madness of Magnifico
Prologue | Last chapter | Next chapter
Author’s note: Sorry that it took us this long, my co-writer and I have been really busy. Hold on tight everyone! This is a BIG chapter! Just want everyone to know that the song’s lyrics are going to be bold and italic. Some lyrics are color coded: Magnifico’s singing is green. Also, "This is the thanks that I Get" has been changed a lot, there are some parts that are the same but big changes. It’s light and up beat at first but then gets a bit darker as it goes. Also (again) (a reminder) the orbs are in different colors (unlike in the movie) that represent their ages; purple for the young ones (18-29), green for those middle-aged (30-59), and the iconic blue color for the elderly-age (60+).
Notice/warnings: shouting/yelling, anxiety/fear, CAPs, drinks(water and tea), dark magic, crying
▪▪▪
Everyone, the entire city and town got it around talking about what was going on.
“What's going on?” a few people asked each other.
“What's this meeting all about?” one person asked a group who only shrugged.
The group looked worried about the situation.
“This is getting scary.” Bazeema said, worried.
“Yeah I'm getting a bad feeling about this.” Hal said.
Then Dahlia walked over to them. “Hey.” she said when she got to them.
“Did you get Asha to the study?” Sofi asked in a  whisper.
Dahlia nodded.
“And Sam?” Simon asked.
“She’s going to the study too. Star made her invisibility cloak so she doesn’t get caught.” Dahlia whispered
The six friends hummed and nodded.
Then everyone started to quiet down and looked at the stage when Magnifico and Amaya came onto the stage with several security guards in the background.
Magnifico began stepping up front center stage, looking at everyone. “Hello, Rosas.” the mayor said to the crowd in a loud voice.
Everyone finally quieted down as they looked at Magnifico.
“As you all saw from last night, a strange shooting star flew over our city.” Magnifico said into the microphone. “From all that I have heard of people talking about what they felt when the light flew over. A feeling of light, warmth, comfort, and love.”
Everyone nodded and some cheered.
“I know that most of you think that I summoned the light but I didn’t. And that means, it’s a bad sign.” Magnifico added. “There's a trader here, who summoned that light.”
The people were confused and got scared by that while Dahlia, Sofi, Bazeema, Hal, Gabo, Dario, and Simon started to get worried.
“Hope they're ok in there.” Bazeema whispered worriedly.
Samantha was running and huffing up the stairs but not to make any more sounds but was surprisingly comfortable. The shoes that were left actually had extra memory foam probably added in the soles thanks to Star’s unexpected gift to her.
She took a deep breath after all that walking, though she did exercise often, she couldn't help but wonder of the long stairs she had to take well even.
She finally got to the study. 
Samantha entered the study/office and looked around as she took the hood off her head, making her visible again.
The little bell by the dumbwaiter elevator rang.
She knew that was her cue. 
Samantha quickly went to the dumbwaiter elevator and opened it to see Asha, Valentino, and Star.
“Sam!” Asha exclaimed when the dumbwaiter elevator door opened.
“Asha, you made it!” Samantha exclaimed, helping Asha and Valentino out of the dumbwaiter elevator as Star flew out.
Star accidentally sprinkled the star dust all over the study causing a magnifying glass to use the sunlight on some papers on the desk, making a small fire.
“Oh, no no no no no no!” Asha exclaimed worriedly, looking around to find something to put the fire out.
“What have you done!?” Sam shouted at Star, trying to find a fire extinguisher anywhere.
Asha found a fire extinguisher and started to put out the fire as Sam had to quickly send in a text to Dilha of the emergency.
The smoke was so big that it began coming up from the roof of the study, which was immediately spotted by Dahlia. Then her phone buzzed and she looked at the text from Samantha.
[Dhila!! There's a fire but we got it under control, also Asha got in, You just saw the smoke right? If the mayor is about to get back inside, STALL HIM! You gotta think something quick and fast!]
Dahlia texted a quick thumbs up emoji to say ‘got it’. 
As she put her phone away and looked back up, Dahlia noticed that Magnifico and Amaya just turned around and were about to get off stage. Without a second thought, Dahlia took in a deep quick breath and shouted, “Magnifico! Wait!”
It stopped Magnifico and Amaya and turned around again as everyone looked at Dahlia.
Magnifico turned around and walked back to the front center of the stage again. “Yes?” Magnifico asked, looking at Dahlia.
Dahlia chuckled nervously before clearing her throat. “I have a few questions.”
Magnifico signaled a guard to get Dahlia as he said, “Sure thing but make it quick I got to get back inside.”
The guard got Dahlia and got her on to the stage.
“Well…” Dahlia started, thinking of a way to stall. “Umm… hi! You know me as Dahlia, one of the main chefs of your famous cookies-”
“Don’t forget Magic Love!” Dario shouted from the crowd.
Everyone looks at Dario for a moment before looking back at the stage to see a red embarrassed Dahlia.
That was her nickname back in the start of high school years due to her start of her crush on the mayor.
Magnifico looked at her with a deadpan look, like this didn’t faze him too much. “Ok, Dahlia. What are your questions?” he asked, looking back at Dahlia.
The young woman stares at the mayor in panic before taking in a breath to calm down and clear her throat. “You said that you need our help finding the person.” Dahlia started with a smile. “You also said if we had any information on last night but one problem. Is there a way you can say it in a more specific matter, as in what quantifies for the matter? Evidently? How about circumstantial? First hand knowledge? Second hand knowledge?”
“What about hunches?” a voice from the crowd asked.
“Oh! Yes!” Dahlia said to the person before looking at the mayor again. “What about hunches?”
“Ok! Yes!… Any questions would do, please ask away.” Magnifico said, trying to be calm. “Please ask for any information about who commanded the light! That would most definitely be helpful.”
Then another person raised a hand and asked, “You said that the magic was amateur magic but how don’t you know how they did it?”
“Well um…its-” Magnifico started, trying to think of something to answer. He was cut off as the citizens started asking more questions.
“Maybe you could define amateur?” one person said.
“This is all that you know!” Magnifico started, his voice almost becoming loud. But he took in a breath, calming down, and said with a smile, “It’s about your safety and most importantly the safety of your wishes.”
“Why do you mean the wishes are safe if you don't know how it works or how it was done in the first place?” another person asked.
“Do you mean our wishes aren’t safe?” Simon asked out loud, worriedly.
That made everyone gasp worriedly.
“Of course they’re safe!” Dahlia reassured everyone.
The mayor was trying to think of what to answer as more questions were being thrown at him.
Samantha tried to use the fire extinguisher while Asha grabbed a pitcher of water and tossed it onto the fire, putting out the fire.
When the fire was put out, the desk and some papers were ruined by the fire.
Asha panted a bit as she looked at the small fire mess. “I hope those weren’t important.” she said.
“Yeah. Anyway I got to fix up this mess to where it was before you mess it up.” Samantha said, glaring at Star, who was now hiding behind Asha.
Samantha began trying to grab the papers and put them in the drawer and put things back in place while Asha, Star, and Valentino went to the black mirror doors.
“Ok, these are doors. We need to open the doors.” Asha said to Star, looking at the doors. “I do remember that he waved his hand to open the door but to be honest I don't know how he gets the door to open.”
Star nodded and moved a star hand, like what Magnifico did when he first showed her the wishes.
The black mirror doors opened.
“Oh wow!” Asha exclaimed as the doors opened. She looked at Star as the three went into the lab. 
“How did you know how to do that?” she asked Star, who just turned around to close the doors as some of the wishes lowered down to them.
Star didn’t give an answer as it just closed the mirror doors.
There was an angry look on Star’s face as it turned around. But then the angry look turned into a wonder look when seeing the wishes and flew up to the wishes.
The wishes looked the same and were about the same amount since last time Asha saw them. 
However, with the color coded ones it might have been easier to find, but what a lot of wishes that were made over the years. It could be harder to find the right ones.
“Alright, Star.” Asha said, getting Star’s attention. Star flew back to her as she continued, “We need to find my mom and Saba’s wishes. We just need to find the right colors first.”
Star nodded and then flew to three orbs, one purple, one green, and one blue.
Star touched each one, showing each wish.
The purple wish showed a young man on a rocket, reaching to the stars.
The green wish showed a woman dancing ballet so beautifully that it looks like magic with color all over.
The blue wish showed an elderly man being some sort of muscular guy.
Star giggled when seeing the blue wish and imitated the man, shapeshifting some muscles on it’s small star body. That made Star giggle more and went back to normal star form as it stopped imitating.
“Okay, Star. Come here.” Asha chuckled and waved to get Star’s attention.
Star looked at her and flew back down to her as the young woman got her sketchbook out. “Alright. We need to find the green and blue wish orbs that have my mom and Saba’s wishes.” Asha said to Star, showing the drawing page of Sakina and Saba Sabino.
The little star nodded and flew up to the other wishes that were high up while Asha looked at the other wishes that floated near her.
The questions that the people were asking started to push it for Magnifico.
“How do we know our wishes are safe?” one male asked.
“Why can't we see our wishes?” a female asked.
“Yeah, why can’t we see our wishes? Why is that a rule?” another male asked.
“And why can't we remember them?” another female asked.
“One question at a time.” Dahlia said to the crowd. She noticed that Magnifico was getting mad.
“Since we are asking, what if we want to change our wishes? I mean wishes can change as we get older. Right?” a voice from the crowd said.
“Yeah!” a few voices agreed.
Eventually it reached almost a breaking point for Magnifico as more and more 
A person called out, “Remember that you granted 14 wishes last year! What was that all about?”
“Because two of the people didn’t react well without them.” Magnifico answered as if it would just summarize it while trying to be calm.
“A lot of us aren't doing well without our wishes!” another person shouted.
“Yeah!” A few people in the crowd shouted, including Simon.
Magnifico’s breathing became heavy and quick as he tried to calm himself down. Amaya and Dahlia noticed the heavy and quick breathing.
“You know what? There should be a reward!” a man shouted. 
“Maybe we can do another wish ceremony!” a woman shouted.
That got a big agreement and cheers from everyone in the crowd.
Soon, the crowd started to chat “Wish! Wish! Wish! Wish! WISH-!”
The questions from the citizens started to get too much for Magnifico.
“SILENCE!” Magnifico shouted, putting his hands up and his eyes started to glow green.
This made the questions stop.
The crowd stares at the mayor in shock and in fear.
After taking a few breathings, Magnifico’s eyes went back to normal as he started to calm down and straightened himself up a bit.
“Is that all?” Magnifico asked the crowd, slicking back his hair as he looked at everyone. “You all want a wish ceremony? Hm?”
Everyone was still but slowly started to nod.
Magnifico hummed and nodded, still taking in a few breaths. “Alright, fine.” Magnifico said loud and clear. “Who EVER finds the traitor or traitors, will have their wish granted.”
The crowd started to cheer but was cut off when Magnifico raised his hand to quiet them.
“BUT, whoever is found working with the traitor or traitors, whether by lying or hiding them,” Magnifico added with a growl, pointing at the crowd as if to give a warning, “then your wish will NEVER be granted!”
That made everyone in the crowd gasp.
Magnifico looked at everyone in the crowd before saying, “This meeting is now over!” 
The mayor turned around to leave as Dahlia started to shout, “But, Magnif-!”
Magnifico quickly turned around and gave an ice cold glare at the young woman.
If glares could kill, Dahlia would be dead on the spot as soon after Magnifico turned around to look at her.
“No more questions.” he growled in a low voice, his eyes started to glow green again for a moment before going back to normal.
Then Magnifico went off stage with Amaya running after him.
Dahlia was shaken up by what just happened as one of the guards helped her get off stage.
She had never seen the mayor this angry, not to mention his eyes turning green.
The six friends rush to her to see if she’s ok as the guard helped her get on the main ground. 
“Dahlia, you ok?” Sofi asked worriedly. 
Dahlia could just stare at her friends as the guard who helped her off the stage went to the other guards and went to their shift spots.
“I… I don’t know…” Dahlia finally said, looking at the friends. “Shocked? I guess?”
The six friends look at her, worriedly.
“Let’s get you some water.” Beezma said softly.
Dahlia nodded slowly.
The seven friends slowly went to the kitchen.
Dahlia got her phone out as they went.
Dahlia quickly texted Samantha: [He's coming! Did you guys get the wish yet? If not, abort the mission and hurry out of here! ASAP! We'll meet at the kitchen as fast as we can]
Samantha immediately texted back: [What?! Don't worry, We are at the study. The only problem is that we are still finding it. Also, Star closed the door on me, so I don’t know if they found it or not yet. I’ll let Asha know.]
Dahlia stares at the text before putting her phone away while she continues to walk with her friends.
The seven friends got to the kitchen after a few minutes. 
Dahlia sat down on one of the chairs near one of the kitchen tables. She was still shaken up from what happened on the stage.
“Want ice with water or just water?” Hal asked, looking at her as she went to get a cup of water.
Dahlia nodded a yes as she checked her phone to check for a response.
Samantha texted: [Just told Asha what you told me.]
Dahlia stares at the text before giving a thumbs up emoji to say ‘got it’.
She put her phone away as Hal walked over with the cup of water with ice cubes while holding a coaster. ��Here you go.” Hal said, placing the coaster on the table before putting the cup on top of it.
“Thank you…” Dahlia said softly, picking up the cup and starting to drink.
Dahlia starts to calm down as she drinks the water. She put the cup on the coaster when she was done drinking it.
She looked at Sofi, Bazeema, Hal, Gabo, and Dario, who looked worried at her.
“Feeling better?” Sofi asked.
Dahlia nodded. “Yes… Thank you… ”
The five friends nodded, starting to smile softly.
Dahlia sighed and rubbed her forehead. “I feel like an idiot for liking him when younger…”
“You were 14 at the time. So, sometimes teens can have strange crushes. A lot of people wouldn’t blame you for having a crush on him.” Dario said, shrugging. “Also, you didn’t know that the mayor could do, well, that. No one did.”
Dahlia looked at him and laughed softly for a moment, starting to feel better. Then she looked at Simon, which got the others to look at the big man.
Simon looked distracted and worried.
The rest look at each other before looking at Simon again.
“Simon, are you okay?” Bazeema asked worriedly. “This isn't about the whole…. questioning thing.”
Simon looked at the six friends, worried in his eyes. “You all heard what he said, right?” he said, his voice filled with worry, before quoting, “‘Your wish will NEVER be granted if you help the traitor’… ”
“Look, we can't betray Asha.” Dahlia said, trying to sound reasonable to him. “She's our friend.”
“Also, Star is friendly and cute.” Dario said “And with what Asha told us earlier, Star grants wishes, big and small.”
“Yeah. I’m starting to see that Star is better than Magnifico after what just happened.” Gabo said, nodding as he crossed his arms across his chest.
The others nodded in agreement while Simon just stares at them.
“N…No… You don’t understand.” Simon said, shaking his head.
That got the six friends’ attention as Simon tried to be calm while explaining, “Ever since I gave my wish, I… I didn't feel like myself… like you mentioned, Gabo… But… I thought this whole time that Sam was going though what I was feeling… the emptiness… But, as it turns out, she found a way by making something and was able to KEEP her wish while giving a fake one! Without telling me!”
“Look, I’m sure that Sam was planning to tell you the truth when the time was right… but… with all what’s going right now, it was not good timing…” Dahlia said, started to get hesitant at the end when she realized what she’s saying to Simon.
Simon looked at his friends in disbelief before looking at himself. “I just want to be whole again… I want to feel real, again… I want to be me again…” Simon said, looking at his hands.
Dario starts to walk to him to comfort him. “We know that. But you need to wait-” he started but was cut off by Simon angrily saying “I’ve been waiting! I am tired of waiting! I am tired of being tired all the time! I am tired of being a husk of myself!”
That made Dario to back away from Simon and run back to the group, hiding behind them.
The group looked at Dario before looking at Simon, who was walking to them now.
Hal, Sofi, Bazeema, and Gabo start to get scared and start to hide with Dario by just hiding behind Dahlia. 
Dahlia took in a breath to be calm and try to commutate with Simon. 
“We understand, Simon, But-” Dahlia started but was cut off as Simon quickly swiped his arm, knocking the cup off the table and hitting the floor, shattering it into hundreds of glass shards.
“NO! YOU ALL DON’T GET IT!” Simon shouted at the six friends, pointing at them. “YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO NOT HAVE A WISH!”
The six friends stare at Simon in fear.
Simon looked like a tired angry monster in human form. 
“S-Simon…” Dahlia stuttered, still trying to communicate with him as she raised her hands to calm him down.
“WHAT?!” Simon shouted at her.
“You need to calm down.” Dahlia said in a loud voice.
That got Simon back to reality as he looked down at them, realizing that he’s scaring them.
“I… Sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” Simon said, backing away from them.
The six friends stared at Simon as the big young man looked down and took in some deep breaths to calm down.
When Simon calmed down, looked at the six again. “You all don’t know what it's like… to be me… what it feels like… without my wish, I’m just… empty…” he said, his voice almost cracking as he was close to crying. Then Simon cleared his throat. “Now, I’m going to find a place to nap…”
“Simon…” Hal tried to reach out but Simon walked to the door.
“Just... Don’t…” the big man said to them as he closed the door.
After Simon left, Dahlia, Sofi, Bazeema, Hal, Gabo, and Dario looked at each other as they felt a mix of concern and worry for what’s going to happen.
They started to clean up the mess that was made.
Magnifico growled as he slammed the doors open to one of the staircases while Amaya followed after him.
The windows in this stairwell were made black glass, almost like mirrors while looking out.
“How brazenly they question me!” he growled angrily, looking at his wife for a moment before starting to go up the stairs.
“They only question you because you make them feel safe enough to do so.” Amaya started to say, trying to calm down her husband as she continued to follow him.
Magnifico stopped and looked angrily at Amaya, which made the assistant mayor stop in her tracks. 
“I’ll be with the wishes.” Magnifico growled at her. Then he started to go up the stairs again as he continued, “Distrib me with nothing but good news.” 
Amaya stares at him for a moment before she goes down the steps and leaves to do some work, closing the doors as she did so.
Magnifico started to go up the stairs again as looked at his reflection in the black glass windows, growling for a moment before singing, “I can't help it… But I see the way… It’s so pathetic! You don’t know what I’ve been through!” 
Magnifico looked at the stairwell ceiling, which was covered in star consultations, as he went up to the next floor and went into the conference room.
“Hear my name, I'm magnificent! I put the "I" in ‘omnipotent’!” Magnifico continued as he entered the conference room. 
“I'm passionate but I'm not petulant!”
He was playing around posing in each of the clear vases like there were circus mirrors before going to the diorama of the city, breaking one of the vases and making it disappear with his magic in the process.
“Someone praise me for my benevolence!” 
Then he stopped messing around and chuckled awkwardly. “Uh… just look, ha-ha…” he said, using some of his magic to show the good that he’s done as he summoned little magic wooden dolls to the diorama.
“I’ve created the perfect life, that you ever need.”
Magnifico points at one of the many different food stores and bakeries of the diorama before pointing at homes of the city, to give his point to the magic dolls.
The first part of the town gives it an almost glamor version causing the town to be in awe while one of the magic dolls tries to see the outside only for it to cast as black mist all over the wall as if it was a dark place on the outskirts of Rosas.
That made the doll run back to the others, to safety.
“I'd be the first one to protect what I’ve built! If our home starts to crumble or be in trouble.”
Magnifico noticed the shadow that was on the outskirts of diorama Rosas after seeing the magic doll run back to the group. 
Magnifico starts to use his magic to attack the mist, making it distaper.
The small magic dolls cheered when the ‘threat’ was defeated.
Magnifico looked at the dolls as he pushed some hair back out of his face, smiling a bit at them.
“I let you live here for free, your wish is the payment."
Magnifico started to frown as he looked at the magic dolls before he looked at the spin plate that held up the diorama. 
Then the mayor spun the spin plate, which threw all of the magic dolls to the ground. The magic dolls screamed as they flew in the air before hitting the floor, distapering when making impact on the ground as if they were never there.
Magnifico left the conference room and went down a hall to get to the next staircase to get to his study.
The hall was lined up with sets of armor, all standing attention.
Magnifico started to get bored and looked at the armors before starting to use his magic on them.
The armors got off their stands and had their hands out to him, as if begging him or wanting something from him.
“I’ve cleaned up all your messes and I’ve helped you with all that I can!”
The mayor smiled and started giving the armors the cookies that Dahlia gave to him earlier.
“I’ve given you all what you needed! I thought you would be content…”
Magnifico was about to leave the hall, one of the armors caught him by the leg which stopped him from leaving. The mayor looked at the armor before looking at the rest of the armors that were about to follow, as if begging him for more.
“And all I really want is just a little respect…”
Then he sighed before kicking the armor’s helmet to force it to let him go,  which knocked the other armors down as he growled, “And this is the thanks I get?”
Magnifico backed away from the mess that he made before he started to run to the next staircase.
“This is the thanks I get? And this is the thanks I get? And this is the thanks I get?”
He continued to dance and run up the stairs around and tell, until he made it to the study.
Samantha was outside now of the study, being on guard. She just finished cleaning up the mess a bit ago.
Samantha spotted the mayor in shock. She tried to text Asha as fast as she could before he could even come but she knew it's going to be risky for him to find out. 
So she rushed down the hall and quickly texted Asha: [He’s coming! I will meet you back in the kitchen. You have to hurry if you don’t want to get caught!]
Asha heard her phone buzzing and pulled it out to see that it was Samantha’s message.
She quickly read the text and messaged: [Got it! We’ll meet you in the kitchen.]
Star tapped and looked at the different wishes, trying to find either Sabino or Sakina’s wishes. 
Then it tapped on one wish and found Sabino’s wish!
Star pointed at it excitedly and grabbed it.
Asha gasped happily when seeing that her Saba’s wish was found. She motions Star to come back down with the wish.
Star quickly flew down with the wish and gave it to her. 
Asha smiles when holding the wish again.
All the wishes in the air went up to the ceiling as if they knew danger was close and was coming in soon.
The young woman noticed and quickly put the wish in her backpack. “Hide. We need to hide.” she whispered to her goat and Star.
Asha, Valentino, and Star quickly hid behind the science table. Then the three jumped as they heard Magnifico slammed the study door open. 
The mayor growled as he started to go to the lab mirror doors. He was about to raise his hand to open but one of his reflections in the black mirror started to say, "You're so brilliant."
It was like the mayor was trying to help himself up with his reflections. 
It was starting to work.
Magnifico couldn’t help but chuckle and smile as he looked at his other reflections of the black mirrors. 
“Ah, that's the least you could say.” Magnifico said to reflections in the black mirror. “There's more, admit it.”
And then the different black mirror reflections began to respond with; "You're cute”, “and strong”, “and bold”, “and brave!" 
Even if it was by magic, Magnifico starts to feel better by the words. “Thanks!” he said to his different reflections before raising his hand.
Magnifico flick his wrist and open the mirror doors, going into the lab.
“See this city? I built it up! And you still complain? You petty much?!”
Magnifico glared at the wishes as if he was actually talking to the people with what’s really on his mind.
“Well, you shouldn’t complain but yet you are? I'd love to see you try and do my job!” 
Magnifico uses his magic to pull the wishes that were still floating in the air down, forcing them to be near him.
“Oh-ho!”
Magnifico forced all the wishes to begin circling around him as he looked at them, like they might show the answer who the trader is. 
“Remember, I’ve kept you safe for however long you've been here! And now you're questioning your mayor? The disrespect I just underwent! You know I always got your back!”
Then Magnifico grabbed two wishes from the circle, a purple orb and green turning blue orb. 
The green turning blue orb look was someone who came OUTSIDE of Rosas and the purple was someone who was born IN Rosas. 
Both wish owners looked at Magnifico in fear as the mayor said to them, “Yeah, I’ve done a lot for you all! Ever since the day you arrived and the day of your first breath.”
Then the mayor forces the wishes to go around him fast as he tosses the two wishes back into the flow of the circle, growling, “And this is the thanks I get?”
Asha saw this happening with big eyes. She knew it was time to get out of there.
The young woman begins trying to crawl out of the lab to get to the dumbwaiter with Valentino and Star, staying out of the mayor’s sight. 
Magnifico continues to force the wishes to spin fast around him as he grabs a couple of wishes, looks at them for a moment, before throwing them back in the circle of spinning wishes.
“This is the thanks I get? And this is the thanks I get? And this is the thanks I get?”
Then Magnifico looked at the glass case that held the forbidden book, like he was in a trance. He raised his hand to stop the circling orbs and sent them back up to the ceiling as he walked to the case.
Asha noticed the mayor’s shadow walking out of the lab. She and Valentino start to hide under the Mayor’s desk but then she noticed that Star was not hiding with them. She quickly looks around to find Star grabbing something. 
Asha quickly grabs the star (and the thing Star grabbed) and goes back to the hiding spot just in time before the mayor sees them.
Magnifico flick his wrist, closing the black mirrors as he got the book out of the case and took it to his desk.
“I didn't wanna do this… I swore I'd never do this! But I'm hypnotized by how these pages flip 'cause I refuse to have my power stripped!”
The mayor opened the book and let his magic flip through the pages before stopping on one page.
“A potion, a spell, a summon, a curse?” Magnifico asked out loud, looking at his hands that were now glowing. Then he raised his hands up as a swarm of green magic appeared as an infinitely sign as Magnifico shouted with a growl, “Anything to make that light reverse! To this book, I don't wanna be tethered, but desperate times call for desperate measures!”
Then Magnifico put his hands down, making the magic fade away as he shook for a moment like he was cold before saying, “Where was I? Oh, yeah…”
Magnifico summoned the same magic wooden dolls on the desk.
The wooden dolls looked confused as they looked at the mayor, who was looking down at them.
“There’s a traitor in this town but yet I still remain unbent…” Magnifico growled, slapping the dolls off the desk which made them disappear like they were never there. “Come on now… I promise I won’t be mad! I'm sure it's all just an accident!”
Asha (still holding Star and the thing it grabbed close) and Valentino stayed quiet as they hid under the desk.
The mayor went and opened his balcony door and looked down at the citizens, who were talking and spreading rumors about who could be the mysterious person who made a wish.
“Well, whoever finds them first, now that's a wish well spent.” the mayor said to himself. Then Magnifico went back inside and closed the doors as he added, “Honestly, keeping you safe should be worth every cent.”
Then Magnifico summoned more magic dolls on the floor and started to attack them.
“And this is the thanks I get? This is the thanks I get?!”
The young woman saw that now was the chance to get out of there. Asha, while still holding both Star and what it held close, and Valentino went to the dumbwaiter. But before she closed the door, she watched, with Valentino and Star, the whole madness of Magnifico in fear.
“And this is the thanks I get? This is the thanks I get?” Magnifico growled as he continued to attack the magic dolls, like if he were an angry god. Then Magnifico growls and stomps on the last magic doll as he shouts, “OH THIS IS THE THANKS I GET?!”
Magnifico panted heavily along with close up his reflections on the black mirrors while ‘I get?!’ echoed in the room for a while.
Asha and Valentino look at the mayor in fear while Star glared at Magnifico as Asha quietly closed the door of the dumbwaiter.
Asha and Valentino sigh in relief as the dumbwaiter lowered down to the kitchen.
As they went down, the young woman had the same thought that just ran inside her head. ‘WHAT is he?’ Asha thought worriedly as she held Star and Valentino close to her, along holding her bag close. 
Magnifico panted as he calmed down and looked at the book, a dark smile on his face while his eyes glowed green.
“Come on now. Let’s go.” he said to the book, pushing his hair back with his free hand as his eyes went back to normal. With the flick of his wrist, a hole in the center of the floor of the study opened up. In the hole was a spiral staircase that went down.
Magnifico went down the hidden staircase.
With a flick of his wrist, torches were lit to see as the mayor went down.
At the bottom of the spiral staircase was another lab but it was darker and made of stone, very different from the one that held the wishes.
Magnifico went to the desk and placed the book on a book holder.
“I will not stop with what I started.” the mayor said to himself with a growl. 
Then he looked at the painting of the couple and a little boy hanging on the wall.
It was the portrait of him, his wife, and a child who was scribbled around the face with a black and red markers against the glass as if the child was not important and should be forgotten.
“Let’s get to work.” Magnifico said to the book as he got some of the science instruments on and working by his magic.
Dahlia, Sofi, Bazeema, Hal, Gabo, and Dario were still in the kitchen, working nervously and hoping that everything was ok. 
Asha got the dumbwaiter elevator back to the kitchen and she knocked on the door to get everyone’s attention. 
Dahlia quickly went to it and opened the door so the three could get out as Samantha came into the kitchen. 
“Asha!” the seven exclaimed, happy to see her safe. 
Samantha, Sofi, Bazeema, Hal, Gabo, and Dario rushed to her as Dahlia helped Asha and Valentino out of the dumbwaiter while Star (who was still holding the thing) flew out of the small elevator.
“Asha! Oh thank God! It was a close call. Come on, did you get the wish?” Samantha asked as the three got out.
“Yes.” Asha said, getting the wish out of the backpack and showing them the wish orb.
All eight of the teens looked at the wish orb in wonder as if they were kids again.
“Whoa… your grandfather’s wish… it looks amazing.” Samantha said while looking at the orb. 
Asha nodded and put the wish back in her bag.
“So… was everything ok when getting it?” Dahlia asked worriedly.
“Yeah…” Asha said worriedly. “We got the wish but we saw Magnifico acting… weird? Very weird.”
“What do you mean by that?” Hal asked, confused.
“Well… he acted… unhuman.” Asha said, rubbing her hands together as she tried to process what she saw in the study.
“Unhuman?” Bazeema asked after a while of being quiet, startling everyone.
Asha looked at Valentino and Star before looking at the others again. “As we got in the dumbwaiter and was about to get out of there, he summed up these little dolls and he acted like… like an angry god to them as he destroyed them bit by bit.” Asha explained, a scared look on her face.
The teens started to get worry on their faces.
“What else did he do?” Hal asked, sounding worried.
“He shouted… “this is the thanks I get?!” as he stomped the last doll, destroying it while the glass mirror door just showed a close up of his crazed state.” Asha added. “Also, he was holding the forbidden book… maybe that’s what’s making him go crazy?”
“Now that you mentioned, I did hear a bit of singing and doing some magic while I was keeping guard as you were getting the wish.” Samantha said, looking at Asha.
Asha nodded.
“I have a theory!” Dario said with full confidence. “Magnifico is an alien!”
The seven friends look at Dario in confusion. 
“Really? Aliens, Dario?” Gabo asked flatly, “Seriously? All you can think of out of all things is that?”
Dario looked at him and shrugged.
Before anyone could say anything more, Samantha looked around and asked, “Hey, where’s Simon?”
“He isn't here.” Gabo answered, looking at Samantha.
“Well, he was but…” Sofi started, sounding scared. “He…”
“What happened?” Asha asked, looking at the six. “Is it from the whole ‘Sam keeping her wish a secret’ thing?”
The six friends were worried and scared. Then they slowly nodded.
“Along with what happened at the meeting.” Hal said, nervously. 
Asha looked at them worriedly while Samantha felt guilty for what she had done months ago.
“Look, I didn't even mean To be selfish but I didn't even want My brother to feel sad or in fear if the mayor found out that I didn't give up my wish… I should go find my brother and-” Samantha started but was interrupted by the six friends shouting in fear, “NO!”
Samantha and Asha jumped and looked at them.
“You should have seen him! He was a monster!” Gabo exclaimed worrily, grabbing Samantha’s cloak.
“He broke one of the cups!” Hal said, pointing at the trash that held the broken shards of glass. “He’s not the same…”
“A monster that I didn't know…” Samantha mumbled under her breath. “But he’s still my brother…”
The friends heard what she said and just stared at Samantha.
The guard felt eyes on her and looked at them, taking in a breath.
“Ok… but for now we just have to keep ourselves together and act natural. We have a star here and a wish. We can't risk getting anyone in danger.” Samantha said, looking at everyone. 
Everyone began to agree, nodding.
Then everyone looks at Star.
Star was still holding the thing, holding it close as if it was important to it.
“What is that?” Gabo asked, tilting his head to the side.
“I’m not sure. Star could come down and show us, please?” Asha asked Star.
Star looked at everyone and flew down to them, showing them what it grabbed from the study.
It was a music box.
“Oh! It’s a music box.” Asha said, smiling softly.
Star nodded and put it on the table, so everyone could look at it better.
The music box was somewhat like before, it was a small music box that could fit in a hand palm of a grown up and the wood is painted like the night sky. 
“Oh! It’s pretty!” Bazeema said.
“It does!” Valentino said, hopping onto one of the chairs so he could see it better.
Star held up two of it’s star hands as if to say ‘hold on’ before opening the lid of the music box.
When it was opened, it revealed a family on a sunlight platform. The man figure was holding the woman figure, who was holding a baby wrapped in a light blue blanket. Along with two other children, around 2 and 4 years old, cuddles around the parents. They all had a warm smile.
Star turns the key of the box and the familiar lullaby tone; ‘At All Cost’. The figures started to spin and turn around as the music played.
Star smiles and starts spinning around happily in the air.
The gang smiled as they looked at Star. Then they all jumped when hearing someone walking nearby.
Asha gasped and she quickly closed the lid of the music box (making it stop) and grabbed Star. Then she put both Star and the music box in her bag just as the door to the kitchen opened.
The person that walked into the kitchen was Amaya.
“Amaya!” the gang exclaimed, bowing to her.
Amaya raised her hand, shaking her head and said, “No need to do that.”
The eight friends stopped bowing to her and stood up right.
“What's going on, madam?” Sam asked, trying to act professionally as possible
Amaya looked at the guard and said, “Samantha, Magnifico wants to talk with you.”
The friends start to get worried by that as Samantha raises an eyebrow. “What? Why?”
“I do not know.” Amaya said, shaking her head. “All that I know is that he wants to talk to you about something.”
Samantha hummed and nodded slowly. “Okay… I guess he’ll want tea as we talk?”
“That’s fine as long as you meet him within the hour.” Amaya said to her.
“Got it.”
The assistant mayor hummed and then looked at Dahlia. “Are you alright?” she asked.
“I’m doing better.” Dahlia reassured, nodding.
Amaya nodded. “Ok. I hope you all have a great evening.”
Then the assistant mayor turned around and left the kitchen.
Soon after Amaya left, all of the eight friends sighed.
“Ok. We gotta get you three out of here.” Dahlia said to Asha, looking at her along with the goat and star (who just got out of the bag).
Star flew to Samantha and tapped her cloak, turning it back to her original coat.
Asha nodded. ‘Maybe it's time to explain the whole thing to Mom and Saba Sabo.’ she thought as she started to leave with Star and Valentino as their friends helped them out.
After Asha, Valentino, and Star left, the seven friends were finishing their work in the kitchen.
Samantha was working on the tea that she was planning on bringing to the mayor. She just made the tea and looked at what she should do.
She noticed the bottle of sleeping medicine in the cabinet.
‘I should take this, just in case.’ she thought as she got the sleeping medic off the shelf.
She began getting to work on the tea and mixing the medicine in it. Samantha noticed that there was a smell that gave away that there’s medicine. So, to hide it, she thought of covering up with some mint leaves.
‘That should do.’ she thought as she put the tea cups on the tray. 
Then she picked up the tray and went to the study.
As she left, the six friends watched her leave the kitchen, worried on their faces.
Samantha felt her heart beat fast in her chest as she went up the stairs to the study.
She looked at the study door before knocking and opening the door. Samantha looks around carefully as she walks in the study with the tray tea in her hands finding where Magnifico could be.
“Hello?” Samantha called out.
“Ah! Samantha!” Magnifico exclaimed, standing in front of the black mirror doors. “I’m glad that you could come to my request on short notice.”
“Hey… I thought I'd come here. Unannounced to give you some tea. I know you like it very warm.”
Magnifico walked over to her and looked at it with a smile. “Oh! Thank you very much.” he said, looking at Samantha.
“I did at a surprise for you in the tea, it's a secret.” She added, placing the tea on a table. “Just some mint leaves and something new sweetener.”
Magnifico nodded with a hum. “Do you want some tea? Since you got two cups.”
Samantha looks at the mayor unsurely, trying to stay calm. “Um… You requested that I have a cup of tea with you…”
“Oh, right! Thank you for the reminder.” Magnifico said, rubbing his forehead.
It was lucky she had her tea separated with her own. She did prefer some hot chocolate or even water or even some apple juice. But if she had to go for tea she had to pick only the apple ones.
Samantha got one of the cups off the tray and handed Magnifico the tea with the sleepy medicine. Magnifico nodded and took the cup from her.
Samantha smiled as she got her cup.
“Now then. Cheers.” Magnifico said, lifting his cup to cheer.
Samantha does the same back to Magnifico.
Magnifico started to drink his tea while Samantha drank hers.
“Hm!” Magnifico exclaimed in pain, putting his teacup down on the table while putting a hand over his mouth to not do a spit take.
“What’s wrong?” Samantha asked, worried as she lowered her tea.
Magnifico swallowed and looked at the young woman with a reassuring smile. “It’s ok. The tea is a bit too hot for my taste. Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Magnifico said, reassuring her. “I can do a spell to cool it down”
That confused Samantha but she shrugged it off.
Then Magnifico put a hand over the cup and started to chant something in magic, his hand glowing teal as the spell was put upon it.
He put his hand to the side when he was done doing the spell. He picked the cup again and sipped it again. The mayor hummed in approval and happiness as he drank his tea.
Samantha starts to drink her tea again, eyeing the mayor as she did so.
When both of them were done drinking the tea, Magnifico looked fine and normal as he placed his cup down.
Samantha was confused by that. She checked if there was some tea left in the cup.
There were some left.
When he wasn't looking, she quickly took a sip of the tea and put it down.
‘Perhaps it didn't Go into effect yet. Maybe in an hour or so.’ She thought. ‘Or if he's tired…’
Samantha yawned as Magnifico asked, “Samantha, what do you know about the stars?”
Samantha looked at Magnifico, who was looking at her. 
“Um… to science; stars are balls of hot gas. To explorers; the stars are the way home. To everyone; the stars are one of the many ways of wishing.” Samantha said, remembering what she knows.
Magnifico nodded as he listened to her. “You are right but you’re missing another thing.” he said, looking at the nearby window, which shows the sun setting and stars starting to appear in the sky.
“What do you mean?” Samantha asked, tilting her head to the side.
“Do you know about the story called ‘The Fallen Star’?” Magnifico asked, still looking at the dusk becoming night.
Samantha shook her head. “No… maybe… well I think Dario only told me a bit of it a while back and I completely scoffed at it, knowing it was just another theory or even a made-up story that he made.”
Magnifico chuckled and looked at her. “Well… it’s a real story. Let me tell you the story.”
Samantha looks at Magnifico as the mayor clears his throat.
“Once a long time ago, since the beginning…” Magnifico started, walking near the balcony windows and looking at the stars that were coming out as the sun set. “The stars were formed. They were like people with magic and immortality. The star kingdom helped with wishes from the humans, granting the good ones while giving warnings to the people who wished bad wishes, mostly by dreams or nightmares to speak.”
Samantha got intrigued and listened to the mayor.
“And within the many stars, there were two star brothers. The oldest shines brighter than the younger but yet they were treated fairly…” Magnifico said, stilling looking at the stars. “However, the youngest knew he felt like it could be so much more and the power of it… He felt like he could shine and be brighter than all of them.”
Magnifico stared at the brightest star of the night before looking away and walking away from the window.
“When they got older, the oldest brother was wished upon by a scientist, who was part of a very bad war. The scientist wished for help and the oldest brother went down to help with what he could. The youngest went down after him because he wanted to see what was going on.” the mayor continued, lost in thought as he continued the story. “The older brother did get mad at his little brother for following him but they had a job to do. Both of the brothers were disguised as morals during the time. The older brother helped the scientist with what he could do with his magic and powers while the youngest brother could only watch what was happening… the war was awful… there was so much lost… ” 
Then Magnifico sighed and shook his head as if to get rid of the scene of the war out of his head before continuing, “Then after a few weeks, it was time for the brothers to go back to the stars. Since starborns could only stay on the moral plane for an amount of time before they became moral and would lose their magic and powers. This was around the time when the oldest found out that he was in love with the scientist. It turns out that the scientist fell in love with the oldest brother too. But they both knew that the oldest had a job to do. They also knew that they would see each other again, one day… The youngest noticed that humans still needed help as the brothers left. When they got home, he suggested to his parents that they help by going down and using all their magic to help… but the parents refused. They said it was dangerous for a star to be on earth for a long time, a star would lose its powers if it stayed there too long and it would be bad for everyone to fix just everything… He didn't listen, knowing no one was going to help him and he took matters into his own hands so that night desperate to prove them wrong.” Magnifico added, looking at the photo of the town. “He practices all types of magic, including dark magic, which is forbidden in the star kingdom, and even disguises himself as a moral when he was on the earth so he could practice as soon as he begins growing stronger magic… It didn't take long for the family and other stars to find the danger inside the youngest, especially the darkness in his eyes and power hunger. ‘Oh what he has become.’ some stars would say. Some of the stars feared the youngest while some tried to get him help.” 
“What did the youngest brother star do or what did the family do?” Samantha asked, getting more hooked into the story and wanting to know more.
“The youngest didn’t want to give up on humans or his power. He didn’t want help from anyone.” Magnifico said, looking at Samantha before looking down as if remembering a memory. “So, the brother chose to run away before the family could do anything. On the night of his run away, he took the most prized possession, the family’s spell book. The oldest saw his brother run away, along with his newly wed wife, which was the soul of the scientist that the oldest loved who just became a star. The couple alerted the guards and sounded the alarm bells to the whole kingdom when seeing the youngest ran away. The youngest was able to run away down to earth and hide before any of the stars could stop him.”
“What happened to the youngest star?” Samantha asked, worried.
“He… he was able to get some humans to safety and build a kingdom of his very own.” Magnifico said, still looking down. 
“And?”
“The humans live in no fear and are always happy in the kingdom the star made…” Magnifico said, looking at Samantha this time. “The star is still alive to this day.”
Samantha hummed and nodded but then got confused. “Wait… there’s a problem with the story.” she said.
“And what makes you say that?” Magnifico asked, tilting his head to the side.
“The parents said that a star would lose its power if it stayed here too long. The youngest would have either disappeared or, maybe, became human, which is mortal.” Samantha explained.
Magnifico stares at her for a moment, his eyes unblinking, like a predator having its prey in its sight.
Samantha got nervous by the staring. “Unless, the star did something?” Samantha guessed.
Magnifico gave a smirk and nodded. “Yes. He did.” he said, starting to walk to her. “The youngest would have the wishes of the people who lived in the kingdom. That kept him alive. He would destroy the bad and dangerous wishes and he would feed off of them while keeping the somewhat dangerous and good ones safe… He did it for the safety of the kingdom he made… the safety of Rosas.”
Samantha’s eyes widened in fear, She began connecting the dots. “Wait… You… you’re the…”
“Star. I’m the Fallen Star.” Magnifico said, smiling at her as his eyes glowed green for a moment.
Samantha began to back away in fear, trying to find something to defend herself, now realizing his true colors. But she felt nearly weak and collapsed to the floor as Magnifico walked over to her.
Samantha tries crawling to the door, feeling more tired. 
She tried to stand up, trying to get out of here but he caught her and dragged her away from the door and onto the couch.
“What did you do to me?” Samantha asked, looking at Magnifico in fear.
“Oh, I put a spell on the drink after I sipped it and had that little ‘reaction’.” Magnifico explained, looking down at her. “The spell I put on it doesn't affect me but does have effect on you. You see, after you drink it, the spell will make you feel  vulnerable, truthful, and will make you give me your wish.” 
“What, I didn't have one-” she lied before coughing for a moment, “-and I will never give it to you-!” She covered her mouth to stop talking as she realized what the spell was doing to her.
Then Magnifico grabbed her jaw in one hand and made her look at him as he grabbed both of her wrist in the other. “Did you really think that I be dumb enough to not know what you kept this.” he asked as he revealed the two silver electric bracelets she made and wore that were hiding under her sleeves.
“But…how?” the young woman asked, fear in her eyes.
“The fake wish you gave me.” the mayor said as he walked back to her. “It had a less glow from the others, like it had no purpose. And it had a bit more of a yellow glow than purple. So, I got curious and destroyed it to see if it did anything to you. It did nothing to you.”
Samantha glared at Magnifico and growled, “You'll never get my wish! Not as long as I'm still alive!”
Magnifico looked down at her before he started to laugh, which made Samantha confused. 
“I don’t think you heard me right…” the mayor said, wiping a tear from his eyes. “I said, ‘I put a spell on the tea that will make you feel vulnerable, truthful, and will make you give me your wish’. So, your soul may be strong but your human body is now weak and vulnerable.”
Samantha’s eyes widened in fear as she heard that. She began trying to stand but with the remaining strength she had, she fell back onto the couch.
That made the mayor chuckle darkly for a moment before hovering his hand over Samantha’s heart. “Now…” Magnifico started with a dark smile, a hand over Samantha’s heart, making it glow yellow. “Give me what your heart’s desire.”
Samantha panted in fear as she felt her body give up her wish, making her forget about her wish. Her breathing became heavy as she looked at her wish, now being held by Magnifico as he put the wish in its own purple wish orb around it.
Samantha stares in fear at what was happening.
“Now, let’s see what your wish is.” Magnifico said, waving a hand over the orb to show her wish.
It was her dream to be an owner of the animal shelter. It shows her with many different animals, she was smiling and was relaxed.
Samantha stared at Magnifico, tears streaming down her face, and begged, “Please… give me back my wish… please…”
She reached her hand, trying to get it back but Magnifico pulled the wish away from her reach. 
“I’ll give it back.” Magnifico said, looking down at her. “If you are willing to tell me who the traitor is.”
Samantha glared as she bit down her tongue to not say who it was. 
Magnifico hummed and popped his lips. “Fine. Say goodbye to your wish.” he said, looking at the wish as he started to crack her wish.
Samantha’s eyes widened in fear as she watched her wish being cracked. “No-!” she started to shout but was cut off when-
CRACK!
Magnifico just crushed her wish.
Samantha felt her heart shattered when her wish was destroyed. A single tear ran down her face as she laid on the couch in shock.
Soon her wish was destroyed, there was a yellow light glow of where the wish was. Then the mayor waved his free hand over it, making it become a light green in the mayor’s hands before it flew all around him before going into his chest, making him sigh with a smile.
Then Magnifico looks at Samantha, no remorse on his face. 
The next thing Samanthna knew was that the mayor walked to the black mirrors and heard the doors open.
Then the young woman heard someone groaning tiredly.
“Ah, you’re awake.” Magnifico said to the person. 
Samantha tried to force herself to get up to see the person but she was so weak that she fell off the couch. She start to pass out as she heard the mayor said, “Alright, let’s have this meeting that you wanted to talk to me about.”
The sound of the black mirrors closing was the last thing Samantha heard before going unconscious.
Bazeema was going to the study to get the tray that Samantha brought up to put it into the dumbwaiter and see what’s going on. 
She looked at the door and took in a breath before knocking. “Hello?” she said in a mix of soft and loud voice.
There was nothing for a moment until Bazeema heard something muffled on the other side of the door. Scared but knowing that she needed to do her work, she opened the door to see no one, beside her, in the room.
“Huh?” she said to herself as she walked in, looking to see if there were people hiding or not.
Then Bazeema saw Samantha on the ground unconscious. “Sam!” she said in worry, running over to her side.
Bazeema checked to see if Samantha was alive. She sighs in relief because she is alive.
She got her phone and called Dahlia (knowing that the rest of the friends, besides Simon and Asha, are in the kitchen) for help.
“Hey, Bazeema.” Dahlia said. “What’s up?”
“Guys…” Bazeema started when everyone picked up, trying not to panic. “Sam needs help.”
“Bazeema, what’s wrong?” Dahlia asked worriedly.
Bazeema tried to be calm from her shock and panic as she explained, “Samantha is on the floor and needs help.”
“We’ll be there right away-” Sofi and Dario started to say but were cut off.
Then the black mirror doors opened.
Bazeema jumped and quickly went under the mayor’s desk to hide. She put her phone on mute as she put a hand over her mouth so she would be quiet.
She only saw the mayor and someone's big shadows on the wall.
“Thank you for meeting with me.” Magnifico said to the person, shaking their hand. “A wish ceremony will take place shortly after I get back.”
The person nodded.
Then there was a groan from Samantha, which got the mayor’s attention as he flick his wrist to close the black mirrors.
Magnifico went to Samantha, glaring down at her. “As for you,” he growled, picking her up and forcing her on her feet, “You will be an example to show the traitor of what happens if you cross me.”
“No no no no no no no, please! No!” Samantha begged as she stared at Magnifico in fear.
Bazeema closed her eyes in fear, not wanting to see what happens next. She heard the door of the study open as footsteps walked to it and then the door closed.
Bazeema opened her eyes when she heard the footsteps fade away. She unmuted her phone as she uncovered her mouth.
There was silence for a moment until Gabo shouted through the phone, “What was that?!”
Bazeema looked at her phone as she crawled out of her hiding spot. “I don’t know…” she said to her phone before looking at the door.
Bazeema felt that she needed to be brave. “I'm going to put the teacups in the dumbwaiter and send them down. I’m going to follow the mayor and Sam.” Bazeema said, grabbing the teacups and taking them to the dumbwaiter. She pressed the button on the side to summon up the dumbwaiter.
“Bazeema, wait!” Hal called out from the phone.
“Yes?”
“Be safe, ok? I don’t want you to get hurt…” Hal said on the phone as the dumbwaiter got there.
Bazeema couldn't help but smile. “Got it.” Bazeema said, nodding to the phone as she opened the dumbwaiter door and put the teacups.
She hung up and put her phone away before she closed the dumbwaiter door and pressed the down button to send it down.
Bazeema looked at the door as she started to leave the study/office.
‘I hope that they’re not going where I think they’re going…’ the young woman thought as she opened the study door. She closed the door on her way out and she started to follow Magnifico and Samantha.
It took her a few minutes but she found them and started to follow. But Bazeema stopped and hid around the corner of the hall as soon as she spotted someone in the hall with Magnifico and Samantha. She carefully took a peak on who it was.
It was Simon.
Magnifico took Simon to a guest room and said, “You may wait here until the wish ceremony. Thank you for helping Rosas.”
Simon nodded to Magnifico and went inside the room as Magnifico and Samantha started to continue to walk.
‘What?’ Bazeema thought in shock, her eyes widened as she couldn’t believe what she saw.
Before Bazeema starts to follow the mayor and her (supposedly) hurt friend, she takes a breath to calm herself down as she pulls out her phone to text Hal.
Bazeema quickly texted: [Hal! The mayor did something to Samantha and I think Simon told the mayor who did the wish!]
Hal quickly texted back: [WHAT?! This is really bad…]
Bazeema quickly texts reassuringly: [Don’t worry. I’m going to get Sam and Asha (if they’re going to Asha’s place). We have to come up with a plan before we become refugees… I think I have a place in mind as a backup. I’ll let you know later. Make sure you and the others stay together and don’t get taken in.]
Hal texts: “Ok. Be safe, Love.”
Bazeema stared at the text before sending a heart emoji before she carefully went after Magnifico and Samantha.
‘You got this.’ Bazeema thought as she followed after them.

Author’s Notes: We hope that you liked this chapter! This is the longest chapter (so far)! We took a lot of inspiration from different songs for the song change. The yellow light (When Magnifico crushed Sam's wish) is the wish before Magnifico uses his magic to make it green so it can go into his chest and make him stronger.
