Wish Granted 🌟👩🏾🎶 (Wish Reimagined)

Chapter 7: Royal Pains

Chapter 6

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

"You didn't think you could get rid of me that easily, did you?" The queen playfully mocked the two of them. "Time to stop playing games."

"You wouldn't attack two of your citizens in broad daylight. Don't want to damage the precious image you've built up for yourselves." Asha retorted, standing her ground.

Sabor growled as he narrowed his eyes towards her.

"For your information, I don't plan on making a scene here. We can settle this matter quite easily." Amaya gestured to Star. "Hand over the star there and I'll let you return to wherever you came from. With your life intact." Her eyes flickered green as if posing a threat.

"You think I'm just going to give him to you? I'm not stupid, Amaya. You're going to have to go through me if you want him." Asha stood in front of Star, while Valentino bravely jumped in front of both of them. Sabor licked his whiskers as he eyes the goat.

Amaya sighed. "I was hoping I wouldn't have to waste my magic on killing you. But I'll try not to make a mess." she grabbed a small red vial with a skull on it.

Star realized that Amaya wasn't going to take no for an answer.

"WAIT!" exclaimed as he jumped between the two of them. He turned to Asha. "I'll go with her, just run away. Now." He told her. Then gave her a wink.

Asha hesitated for a moment, not sure what he was planning, but she trusted the star. The girl took a few steps back and then took off with Valentino on her heels.

"How sweet of you. Sacrificing yourself for someone you barely know. Its rather foolish, but I'll let it slide." Her voice dripped with fake sincerity.

The star raised his hands to signify his compliance. "All right, you got me. But I gotta ask, why do you need me? I mean, you guys seem pretty powerful. Don't know what you need a star for." He attempted to stall as long as he could.

"Magnifico needs you for something... special in mind for Rosas." Amaya responded, but wasn't telling him the whole story.

"Besides, its not like you're actually a real human." She saw the star's face twitch in reaction to the comment. She found a nerve to hit.

We quickly cut to Asha and Valentino, whom after being far away enough from the queen's view, they decided to sprint around the alley.

"Maaaah??" Valentino questioned Asha's actions.

"Of course I'm not leaving him. I just had an idea. Its a little basic, but I'm just making this up as I go." She admitted.

The two made it around back and Asha quietly sneaked against the wall. There were dozens of crates nearby. She could hear Star talking to Amaya, but he was running out of time.

"Look at yourself." She gestured to his disguise as she took a step forward. "You may look like one of us, and speak like us, but its all just a silly costume for you. You could never be human, or be enough for the girl." Her voice was callous.

Star looked down at his hands. They weren't glowing, but they were still yellow and cartoonish. Humans don't look like that. Or turn into animals.

"...I..." he found it difficult to speak.

She took a look at the crates and got an idea. Asha began to push The crates forward as best as she could, but she was concerned that it wouldn't fall in time.

Suddenly she heard whispering behind her. She turned and saw Gabo from earlier. He seemed rather for someone that was supposed to be being chased.

"Hey, weren't you the guy that was being chased?" She asked.

Gabo snorted. "That snoozer always falls asleep before he can catch me. He's off somewhere taking a nap probably." He waved a dismissive hand.

(Actually, he was.)

"Since you're here, you mind giving me a hand?" Asha usually wouldn't ask anyone in this city for help, but she was desperate.

Gabo took a look at what she was pushing, where it was going to fall and put the pieces together. "I like the way you think, stranger." He rubbed his hands together.

"That's something no amount of magic is ever going to change. You would've been better off in the sky." The woman raised her hand, preparing to throw a red vial at the star, when suddenly—

CRASH!! 💥📦

The large stack of crates crashed down on the woman, and the red vial fell from her hands and rolled away.

Sabor yowled in surprise and rushed to aid his master.

Star snapped out of his trance and he saw Asha and Gabo.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that!" Gabo laughed.

Asha was just relieved it worked. Maybe Star's spur of the moment ideas was rubbing off on her... "Thanks for your help, but we have to go. Like now!" She leaped over the crates and took Star with her.

"Hey, no problem! Need anymore help against these guys, you can count on me!" He said to them as they ran off together. The crates began to move and the guy ran off before the queen could get up or the non sleepy guards arrived.

Just in time, because a few showed up mere seconds later.

"Your majesty, are you all right? Who did this to you?" One of them asked as they pulled the crates off of her.

"I'm fine." She asserted as she snatched her arm away from a concerned guard. "The traitors are here and we need to alert the people. Go warn Magnifico. Now."

Perfect time for us check in on Magnifico:

"You think I'm a fool? You think I can't tell when my own apprentice is lying to me? You've been hiding something from me for far too long, and today I will have my answer." The tip of the king's staff grew a brighter green as he spoke. It was only mere inches from Flazino's face.

Flazino slowly raised his hand in defense. "I wasn't do anything, your Highness! I was just uh..." His voice trailed off, his mind going blank thinking of an excuse.

"You've taking independence with your magic lately. Hearing how you've spreading been it here and there to 'help' some of the citizens. All without my permission." The king continued, his eyes full of suspicion.

The apprentice was only slightly relieved. Magnifico wasn't talking about the Hamlet, but it was still a problem. The king never liked the idea of Flazino using his magic for anything outside of his lessons or demands.

"I was just being a good friend to the people. As you're supposed to be doing, sir." He responded. And we see a shot behind his back where he grabs an item off the table that looks like a magic wand.

"Don't get cocky with me, boy." Magnifico hissed and lowered his staff. He raised his left hand and and motioned for a wish orb from above. One gently came down and he presented it to Flazino. "Remember who holds your fate in their hands."

The image in the orb is fuzzy from a distance, but Flazino already knew it was his own wish: To learn magic and help others with it.

"So choose your next words carefully. Where have you been these past few nights?" He slowly put pressure on the orb as he asked the question.

Flazino could already feel the pressure on his heart. "N-nowhere...sir. I- just go straight h-home." His breathing was becoming slightly irregular and he struggled to get his words out.

Magnifico looked at him with annoyance. "Do you side with the traitors, Flazino?" A small crack appeared on the orb

"No. No....You know I would never side with a traitor of Rosas." His face began to sweat as the strain was growing.

*Knock knock* 🚪

"I am busy at the moment!" Magnifico yelled.

A guard burst through the door, out of breath. The king quickly threw the orb back up into the air and Flazino felt he could breathe again.

"I'm sorry, your majesty...*pant pant* but the queen has had a run in with the traitors." The guard explained.

The king's eyes widened. The star was here! "No need to apologize! I'm greatful to anyone who proves their loyalty to me." He eyed Flazino. "Call the citizens to an assembly. They need to know about this and help us catch them for the protection of Rosas."

He looked at his apprentice. "And you'll be coming with me. Just to keep an eye on you."

Flazino gulped.

We head back outside where Asha and Star had escaped as far as possible from the queen. "Okay, we're officially in crisis mode." Asha said as she pushed through the crowd. "Amaya knows we're here, and its only a matter of time before Magnifico knows too." Her voice sounded shaky.

"Well, I guess my planning skills end here, cause I'm all out ideas." Star shrugged. "And I really don't want to run into the queen again...but I'm sure I can handle Magnifico though." He assured her.

Asha tried to think of another idea, when she felt a tap on her. "Not now, Valentino. I'm trying to think of how to get inside." She shooed him away.

Valentino looked confused as he looked up at Asha.

Asha realized it wasn't her pet at all. She turned and saw the girl with glasses from earlier. Oh great, another problem...

"Hey. Hi. Sorry to bother you but I saw you earlier with your friend and wanted to ask. Is your name really Asha?" She asked, adjust her glasses.

Asha hesitated. "....Yes?"

The woman smiled and gave her a big hug. Asha was still getting used to be hugged by Star, but now this stranger(?) had the same habit too.

"Its me, Dhalia! Remember when you used to live here?" she beamed as she saw her face.

Asha's memories came back to to her. She pushed anything to do with Rosas from her mind since she was a kid.

"You really know her?" Star asked curiously.

"Of course she does! We were best friends when she lived here!" Dhalia answered for her.

Asha was slightly less enthusiastic. "Yeah, actually we were. I just never expected to see you still here." She couldn't admit it hurt to see her former friend still living under Magnifico's thumb.

"My family is greatful for the king and queen. We came here with nothing but a little food we hand cooked, and now were cooking v for royalty!" Dhalia continued. "He's such a kind king..." She sighed dreamily.

Now Asha understood why Flazino was partially stressed about having a crush on Dhalia.

Dhalia shook her head quickly. "I can't believe you're here! I need to know everything. Like, what happened to you and your family? When did you come back? And how did you get a boyfriend of all things?"

"BOYFRIEND?!" Asha exclaimed.

Star was so flustered he had to pull the hood over part of his face, with only his mouth showing. "You're moving so fast on me, Asha!" He nervously chuckled as a bright glow started to show from his face.

(Extra fact: When stars get embarrassed or flustered, their glow brightens and act as the equivalent of a human blush, showing intense emotion)

"For pete's sake..." she ran her hands down her face.

"Oh no, that's fine we were just-"

"I insist! I'm sure our wonderful King and Queen can help you find a place here. And we'll be able to catch up!"

Oh boy, this was going south.

The sound of fanfare trumpets suddenly filled the streets.

"That's the king's assembly call. It must be important. Please, please, come with me!" Dhalia took a reluctant Asha's arm and walked with her.

"By the way, what's your name?" She asked Star.

Star completely forgot he hadn't picked a name yet. "Uh.....Ast- no, Ori- no, Betel, I mean-" this poor guy struggled.

Asha covered for him. "Cosmo! His name is Cosmo."

Star sighed in relief. "Yeah, a completely a normal human name!"

"Oooo, you must be from an exotic country!" Dhalia pointed out.

As she went forward, Asha lightly hit him on the shoulder. "What was that? All those names you've learned and you couldn't pick one?" She whispered in an annoyed tone.

"Hey, I could've picked Betelgeuse. But I don't think I would've remembered that..." Star said in defense.

A crowd gathered outside the castle, completely packed with people from across the kingdom. The royals (and Sabor of course) stood before them, with Flazino far enough in the back.

"Now, now. Settle down everyone. We brought you here because we have an important announcement." Magnifico announced.

"Is it because of that light you did to help us sleep? Cause I really needed that." Simon asked. He really didn't look all that rested though.

"Yeah, I never had a sleep that restful!"

"It was wonderful, thank you your majesty!"

The citizens voices started to multiply as they agreed about last night's magical sleep. Star got a little bit of joy from hearing he helped others without knowing it.

Maginifco began to look annoyed. He took a deep breath. "Unfortunately, that wasn't my magic last night." He hated admitting that.

The crowd slowly stopped cheering.

"While that power came from a source I can't identify, it was quite clumsy and amateur compared to mine." He chuckled. "Its almost like a child did it."

Star was highly offended. "Amateur?! Why you-" he started in an angry whisper, but Asha shushed him before anyone noticed.

Amaya cleared her throat. "Despite this childish display, its also forbidden. Which can only mean one thing: there's a traitor lurking in Rosas."

A collective gasp and whispers emerged amongst the crowd.

"Yes, they used this magic to challenge us and put you all at risk to do it. They have no shame in who they hurt to get to us." Amaya pretended to look sorrowful.

Dhalia whispered to Asha. "Who would even want to hurt them?"

Asha and Star were dead silent.

"But don't you worry your pretty little heads!" Magnifico assured them and giving some positivity in it. "They're no match for us! We are the strongest sorcerers in the world! And I assure you, when they're caught..."

He put out his hand that two tiny figure made of green magic. With a quick clench of his hand, they turned to dust. "They'll be dealt with permanently."

As the crowd cheered, Asha and Star exchanged a nervous glance. They were in the Lion's Den now. Flazino was visibly sweating, but kept his composure.

"Tell us any news you have. Someone acting suspicious, strange magical sightings or even late night outings after curfew." Amaya advised the citizens. "Starting with you." she pointed to a woman in the front.

The woman looked around. "Me?" she questioned.

"Yes, you..." Amaya's voice trailed off trying to remember the woman's name.

"Wendy." Flazino coughed.

"Wendy, yes. Have you seen anything suspicious?"

Asha knew now was the time to leave before anyone questioned them, or worse yet, they were recognized.

"Oh, I just remembered, we have to go. There's a few things I haven't shown Sta- Cosmo around here, but we'll keep in touch." Asha lied through her teeth. She quickly grabbed Star and they made their way past the crowd.

"Um, sure, sure! Just keep your eyes peeled for those traitors!" She warned them.

Once they made it far away enough without being seeing seen. The two of them tried to come up with a way to get inside. Their options were pretty low at this point.

"Okay, I'll just go so fast that they won't see us coming through. I'll be like a blur!"

Asha raised an eyebrow. "Do you think that's actually going to work?"

Star paused. "Worth a shot right?"

He carried her in his arms in a bridal style while she held Valentino. "You better hang on, cause we're going to infinity and beyond! Well, maybe not that high, but you get what I mean." With that, he took off like lightning.

Magnifico or Amaya hadn't noticed anything, and neither had the citizens. Only Sabor felt something in the sir and looked around for it.

Asha was startled during the take off, but she slowly found herself having fun during the ride. And maybe the view of Star wasn't bad either.

(Screenshot from @orbitalmoonrat's animatic)

A few more moments and the two of them reached the top of the steps and touched the ground. "Wow....that was incredible!" Asha said nearly breathless.

Star gently put her down. "Aw, that was nothing. You should see me when I'm in the sky, I can do all sorts of tricks up there with the extra room!" He gestured upward.

"I'd like to see that, actually." She gave him a warm smile as she helped adjust the hood back on his head. The two of them shared a look for a few moments when they heard a tiny voice from behind them. They looked down and saw Valentino, shaking.

"Oh! Sorry, buddy. I guess I went a little to fast for you." He said sheepishly. 😅

"BAAAAAH!!" Valentino exclaimed in anger at Star.

Star put his hands on his hips. "Well, there's no need for name calling there..."

Asha pushed opened the heavy doors with both hands and they slammed against the walls once opened. In front of them was an unexpected sight. Magnifico's room was filled with artifacts and relics from other lands encased in glass. On the right side of the room was a miniature replica of Rosas. Apparently that caught Star's attention more. 😂

"Look at that! How did he shrink a kingdom down to this size?" Star flew over to get a better look. "And its got little people in it! How do humans do this stuff?" He admired it with curiosity as he picked up some of the figures.

"Star, stay focused here. We have to find the-" She stopped once she got closer to the objects. "No way...All of these are rare artifacts."

Star's pointed ears perked up. "Artifacts?" His curiosity immediately moved to the next thing as he put the little figures in his pockets and joined her.

Asha grabs her sketchbook and flips to a few pages with several random items drawn on each of them. The camera takes focuses on each object she announces. "There's Horvath's Hat, the Glass Slippers, the Enchanted Rose," she gasped at the fourth item, "The Sword of Fa Zhou! Flazino never told me that the king got his hands on any of these!"

"Huh. Finally something that Flazino doesn't know. Hey, what's that there?" He pointed to a golden lamp in another glass case.

"Now that's a genie lamp." Asha explained. "Legend says if you rub it, a magical being will come out and grant you three wishes!"

Star's eyes began to shine. "Wow! Wait, only three?"

Asha was going to respond when she shook her head. "What am I doing? We're supposed to be getting the wishes." She walked off, annoyed at herself.

She couldn't believe she let herself get sidetracked like that. She'd always been fascinated by historical artifacts, magic or otherwise, but she couldn't do that right now! Star's first one Asha's met to actually take an interest in it and she couldn't even enjoy it...

"The wish chamber should be close by, so we don't have far left to check."

Once they continued, they saw a huge black door standing between them and the wishes.

"All we have to do is get through here and we're set." Asha explained. "Flazino never got to tell us how to open this. Any ideas?"

Star stepped towards the door and could see his own reflection along with Asha's. He looked at the door carefully. "Maybe we just knock?" He knocked on the door three times.

Asha rolled her eyes. "It couldn't be that easy-"

The doors automatically opened.

"Oh my gosh, it was that easy..."

Once the doors opened, they finally entered the Wish Chamber. The room had a huge blue tint covering it. Within it were Amaya's potions and a small lab that was filled with all sorts beakers and tubes of different shapes and sizes.

To the left was a large bookcase filled with magic spell books and its histories on every shelf.

"Hey, what's that?" Star pointed to a large bookcase.

Before Asha could question his comment, she looked where he was pointing and saw the the center of the bookcase contained a large book locked up inside. It had a green dragon right in the center.

"I....don't know actually. I've never seen a book like that before, and trust me, I've read enough books to open my own library."

As she was talking, Star suddenly was very quiet. He could hear small whispers coming from the bookcase, they were slowly blocking out Asha's voice.

"Power."

"Give me your power."

"Release me."

The camera slowly zooms in on the book as the voices slowly grow louder, it cuts to Star's face who seems mesmerized by the voices, but still unsure if he should go forward. He felt something hit his leg and heard a different voice.

"STAR!" Asha's voice became so loud the whispers stopped. The star shook his head to come back to his senses. He looked down and saw Valentino had headbutt his leg, only this time it finally worked.

"Are you all right? Its like you were in some kind of trance." the girl asked with a look of concern.

Star blinked a few times. "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. I think we need to stay away from that book though. Its the only thing I don't want to touch."

Asha agreed and the three of them walked away from the bookcase. The dragonmarked book's green glow slowly faded.

They walked to the center of the Wish Chamber and Asha flipped through a few pages of her journal.

"All right. The wishes should be over here. You can grab my saba's wish first."

Star nodded. "Sounds easy enough!" He gently floated upwards. "This thing will be a piece of..." His face changed to worry. "Oh boy..."

They both looked up and saw a nearly endless amount of wish bubbles floating around the room. It was like looking for one star amongst the entire galaxy!

"How many wishes do those two need?!" Star exclaimed, taken aback by the sight.

"They shouldn't have any of them." Asha explained. "This is what I was talking about, Star. All they do is take and we suffer for it."

"Seesh, how many are up here? A million?" Star asked, scratching his head.

"1,937." Asha answered rather quickly. Star looked down at her in surprise. The girl shrugged. "I-I've always been a fast counter." She cleared her throat and showed the star a picture of Sabino playing his mandolin.

"You should be able to see anyone's wishes once you look inside them. This is how my Saba's looks. He's wanted to inspire people with his music his whole life."

(Concept art by James Aaron Finch)

Star floated closer to get a better look. He admired how happy he looked in it.

Once he got a good mental image he floated back up to the wishes and began searching. "Say, what are you gonna do? This might take a while." He asked as searched the sky blue orbs.

Asha walked over to the large bookcase across the room. "I'll see what else I can find about the king and queen. There's so many books here, one of them has to have something showing a weak point in their magic. It can help us put a stop to them permanently."

As she took out a book, Valentino brayed, wanting to know his own role.

"You can watch the door and warn us if anyone is coming here." As Valentino trotted away to his ask, Asha looked the cover of the book raises an eyebrow. "What the heck are 'Heffalumps and Woozles"? she questioned.

We cut back outside of the castle, with the crowd not really giving the royals much of a lead they need. Magnifico's face was looking more irritated.

Sabor pawed at Magnifico's feet. "Not now, hairball." He hissed at the lynx, then continued. "Now sir, I assure you that magic isn't good- ack!"

He looked down and saw Sabor had sharply dug his claws into his leg. The lynx growled as he pointed up towards the tower.

The king looked up and saw a quick bright flash shine from it window. His eyes widened dramatically. The star is here!

"I'm sorry Mr...." he started.

"Peter, sir." Flazino told him.

"Yes, yes, whatever. I have an emergency I need to tend to!" Magnifico hurriedly said as he stepped backwards. "You can continue to ask my darling wife or even my young apprentice about anything you might have as well!"

He whispered to him, "Don't get any ideas, boy. Sabor will be watching you closely." He then darted off into the castle.

"Oh good, Flazino usually listens more anyway!" an elderly woman said.

Flazino bristled. "Hey, hey, Don't drag me into this, ma'am!"

Back inside, Star is looking at different wishes. As he touches each one, the color of the orbs turn from blue to yellow.

The orbs themselves have images that move in sand animation. (Think of it like the sandman from ROTG for the dreams)

Star felt connected to each person's wish as he looked. One displayed an elderly woman wishing to sail across oceans and meet other lands. Another one showed a man who wished to fly great heights. (Star really liked that one) A third showed a father wishing to be reunited with his two sons.

Star could feel everyone's desires. He began to feel something he hadn't before now, something stronger than joy. These wishes meant everything to the people, and they couldn't seven pursue their own desires.

He finally reached Sabino's wish, and the particles within the orb formed the man playing for a crowd of people. He looked blissful as he played. The star gently held this wish in his hands as he watched. He could feel all the love the old man had for music, and now he understood why Asha was so determined to get the wishes back.

Asha continued to look through the books. There were books on magic from all across the world, but none of them seemed to match what the royals used. "There has to be something were missing..."

"Asha! I found your saba's wish! Its beautiful!" Star announced from above, with a slight echo.

"Perfect! Bring it down, I just need to find one book that...." Her voiced trailed off once she saw a tattered book amongst the more immaculate ones. She quickly grabbed and opened the book.

Inside were sketches of constellations and variations of stars. Other pages included entries about connecting to the stars and how the man became inspired by them to continue his work. He felt a great power from them whenever he and his daughter looked upon them together.

"That lowlife." She seethed, her grip on the journal tightened. "He stole my father's work! All of it!" Her voice grew louder, no longer caring who heard. "I swear the next time I see him-"

Her threat was cut off when a pair of green hands had grabbed her around her waist.

Star felt something was wrong. "Asha? Are you all right?" Star began to float down when a green chain clasped around his leg. "Hey, hey, what's this?" He began to panic as he tried to pull the chain off.

"So you're that philosopher's daughter, Asha. My you've grown up to be quite a young woman. I hardly recognized you earlier." Magnifico said looking smug. Valentino had been caught as well, with the green magic wrapped around his snout to keep him quiet.

"I have to thank you, Asha. You brought the star right to me and I didn't even have to waste more magic trying to pull it down again!" He chuckled.

"I'll never let you have him! I've seen what you can do with too much magic, and you're not going to do the same to Star!" Asha hissed at him.

Unphased, the king responded, "We'll just see about that. Besides, you're not supposed to name it. Once you name it, you start getting attached to it."

Magnifico then slowly looked above him. "Now then....let's see what this star looks like up close." He used his staff to summon him. The chains slowly pulled down Star to the floor. As he floated down, the hood covered most of his face, making him look ominous. He still held Sabino's wish.

The king held his breath as the music swells. He had been waiting years for this moment, but he was anxious on what this creature could possibly look like, when it could quite literally be everything. "Show yourself!" He commanded.

Star slowly raised his hands and pulled the hood back, revealing his true face: a yellow glowing human(?) with bright white hair.

The music comes to a halt after the reveal, leaving Magnifico dumbfounded. The same stranger with Asha earlier was him? He narrowed his eyes at the star. "What is this?"

Star looked around, but saw nothing.

Magnifico shook his head. "No. No, you can't be a star!" He raised Asha up with his magic as she attempted to free herself. "This is what you called on?" He turned back to Star. "You're a child! I was really scared of a mere child?!"

Star crossed his arms, offended. "Hey! I just turned 18 last month. I'm far being a child, your highness. I could grow facial hair if I wanted to!"

Magnifico chuckled at first, and it slowly turned to laughter. "No wonder I couldn't find you, Amaya told me you could change forms, and you were right under my nose the whole time! I was scared of a boy! Ohhh, I needed that laugh." He wiped a tear from his eye as he finished.

He quickly jerked his staff and it dragged Star to him. He then grabs him by the collar. "At last my years of searching have come to an end. With you, we'll have all the power we desire. My wife and I will rule this world as the ultimate sorcerers!"

(Credit to @kirimanga's Magnifico animated for this shot)

"Yeah, that's not gonna happen." Star grunted as he tried to break the chains.

Magnifico growled. This thing was putting up a fight? Why bother? It had no right, it wasn't even human.

"There is one thing I don't understand. You have the power to be anything you want on Earth...and you pick this?" He gestured to Star's human form.

Star looked him straight the in eyes. "I want to look like this." he said through gritted teeth. "And Asha called me down here because she needed me."

Magnfico's smile faded. "Fine. If you don't want to show me your full power, you can stay weak. But first," He looked over at Asha. She was terrified of him, but she refused to let it show. "You can watch me kill your little friend before I absorb you."

A bright light appeared behind the king. Before he could turn around, Star had turned into a mouse and jumped right on the king's face. "What the devil are you doing?!" He shouted as he tried to knock him off.

"Just mousing around!" the star's tiny voiced squeaked as he scurried across the man's body.

(Trying to reference that Ratatoullie scene with Remy biting Linguini, this is the best image I could find to reference it. 😅)

The magic on Asha dissipated once his attention to her was gone. He was so frantic that for a moment, he didn't seem as intimidating.

She immediately rushed to grab her father's journal and catch Valentino before he fell to the ground.

"You okay, Val?" She asked her friend. Valentino nodded and licked her nose.

"Where's that darn cat when I need him?" The king finally got a hold of the mousey Star and threw him to the study desk.

Another bright flash and he had turned into a parrot and landed on a globe. "Come on, pretty boy. I'm right heeeere! Sqwuak!" He mocked him as he flew over his head.

"You little pest-" Magnifico started shooting green magic at Star, only for him to keep evading him. "Wasting your magic on becoming little beasts for fun!"

Asha ran to the desk and started grabbing anything that was important along with Sabino's wish and put it in her satchel. As she grabbed what looked like a wand, she looked up at the wishes. There had to be a way to get them all down.

As Magnifico kept blasting at Star, he kept changing animals with each missed shot just to mock him. He changed back to a human to deliver this: "Hey, Maggy! I've got some magic words for you: 🎵Meega, nala kweesta!"🎵 He mocked the king in a sing-song tone.

Magnifico was getting furious. "You dare mock me? I'm the most powerful man on Earth! You were just an accident. Called on by a desperate girl!"

Star's expression changed at that last remark.

Unfortunately for Star, the king took advantage of him being distracted. A chain wrapped around his foot and it yanked him from above. "Got you!" He exclaimed in victory.

With all his strength he flung him across the room like a ragdoll and the star crashed onto one of the desks, destroying some of the equipment.

"Its time to finally claim what's mine!" The king took the pointed end of his staff and stabbed Star in the right shoulder. He let out a painful scream. As the yellow magic was beginning to fill the staff.

"Star!" Asha exclaimed.

Her worried eyes turned to hate as she looked the king. The heat of the moment, she looked for anything to use against him. So when she aimed the wand at him, he was met with a burst of blue light at his face. The staff stopped absorbing the magic.

Asha looked down at the wand in her hand, the magic seemed to only have one shot in its reserve. "How did I-"

Magnifico's laugh sounded borderline maniacal. "Well, Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo! You can use magic too!" He then aimed the staff at Asha and the green hands grabbed her instead.

Valentino hid under the other desk to avoid getting caught again.

"I'm ending your little rebellion right here and now. I just need your wish."

Magnifico brought the girl closer until they were face to face. His eyes had a flash of anger in them. He put hid hand near her heart and waited for her wish to become physical.

But nothing happened. How??

"What is this? Why can't I find your wish?" He snapped, frustrated at his failure.

"So much for your threat." Asha smirked. She wasn't even sure how this happened but she was greatful.

The king growled. "Then I'll do this the old fashioned way." The green hands clasped around her began to tighten like a vice. Asha screamed as she could feel herself being crushed.

At the same time, Star was feeling that same tightness around himself. It was as if his heart was being squeezed to death. He weakly opened his eyes.

He was horrified at the sight: Asha was going to be killed right in front of his eyes. Those same eyes that suddenly flared a bright yellow.

"Say hello to Tomás for me." The man grinned wickedly.

A loud, thunderous boom echoed in the room. Magnifico thought it was outside, but it was only cloudy. The room itself turned dark and air chilled.

Maginifico stopped torturing Asha for a moment and slowly looked behind himself.

What stood before him was a large humanoid figure that nearly reached the ceiling. It was a mixture of black and gold with white sparkles within it. There were gold clouds surrounding it as the figure had furious yellow eyes.

"Mother of Gothel..." Magnifico whispered in awe.

Star quickly raised his hand and SMACK!

He hit Magnifico hard enough to send him flying, and crashed into the bookcase in the study, leaving a crack in the glass that contained the dark book. An avalanche of books fell on top of him as he lay unconscious on the floor.

Once the threat had passed, Star looked and saw Asha slowly picking herself up. His anger dissipated and the clouds swirled around him. In a moment he was back to his glowing yellow self. He quickly came to Asha's aid. Valentino was already by her side.

"Hey, are you okay?" he asked worried as he held her.

"Thanks to you, I am." she gave him a small smile. She then realized something. "Wait, what about you? You got stabbed!"

Star scoffed. "Oh that? That was nothing. I'm fit as a fiddle!" He lied.

Asha sighed in relief. "We need to get out of here. There's no way we can stay."

"What about the other wishes?"

"We'll have to save the rest of them later, we just need to go. Can you change into something that will get us out of here, fast?"

"You got it!" He placed Asha and Valentino on his back and started running towards the exit. As he passed through and picked up speed, he transformed into-

"AN ELEPHANT?!" Asha exclaimed, dumbfounded.

"Trust me, this is way faster!" he said as he ran though the halls. They could see a group of guards heading towards them, clearly responding to the commotion inside.

An idea sparked into her head. "Star, put some of your magic on the armor!"

"Omigosh, I love that idea!" Star trumpeted some his magic as they passed by and armor instantly came to life.

"Get em' fellas!" Asha commanded them with a grin.

The living armor followed commands and rushed after the Rosas guards. They started to combat each other.

They saw the sight before them and ran back down the stairs. "I feel like I'm going mad!" One of them shouts.

"We're all mad here!" Star answered them and laughed. He leaped over the guards by growing his giant ears big enough to glide over them.

As he flew down the stairs, he saw the doors were wide opened to the outside.

"I sure hope those doors are big enough!" Star exclaimed as he touched the ground and went full speed.

"Any other questions that aren't stup- I mean important?" Amaya asked the crowd.

A blonde teen raised his hand.

"Yes, Dario?"

"Yeah, um, you gonna talk about the elephant in the castle?"

Amaya raised an eyebrow. "You mean in the room?"

"No, I mean in the castle, there's one right behind you!" Dario frantically pointed behind him.

The apprentice started to feel a rumbling underneath his feet growing stronger. He turned and saw a giant yellow elephant stampeding towards him, with Asha on top barely hanging on.

"COMING THROOOOOOUGHHHHH!!!" Both of them exclaimed.

"HOLY- EVERYONE, RUN, NOW!!!" Flazino yelled at the crowd. It didn't take long for them to listen. The people scattered to get out of the way of the stampeding star. His trunk trumpeted as he cleared through the castle entrance and into the city. Not far behind him were a group of soldiers running after them.

Simon, who was slightly dozing off suddenly was wide awake when he saw the giant animal and ran the fastest he's ever ran before.

Bazeema was frozen with fear until Safi jumped in and saved her from being trampled.

Amaya gave a direct order to the guards. "Don't let them escape, you dolts! They're the traitors!" She then ran inside to find her husband.

"These guys just don't quit!" Star exclaimed, looking back at the group.

"STAR, WATCH OUT!!!" Asha warned him as she pointed ahead. Star looked forward only find himself tearing through many of the stalls along the path. Each one crumbled beneath his large feet. "Sorry! Sorry! I'm so sorry!" he kept apologizing with each one he destroyed.

We see Gabo laughing at the sight as Star ran. "Now that's what I'm talking about! Tear it all down!" He cheered on the two of them. He had no idea this was all one big accident.

Sabor was charging in to fight Star, but once he saw just how big Elephant!Star was and fast approaching, he screeched in fear and bailed out quickly. He went to look for Amaya instead.

As the people continued to run in fear, Flazino helped Dahlia get to safety since she couldn't run as fast as the others. "Flaz, what the heck is going on?! Its like the whole kingdom's gone crazy!" she demanded.

"I hate my job, I hate my job, I hate my job, I hate my job-" Flazino swore under his breath. He vowed he was going to quit the minute the royals lost their power.

Star continues to run and getting closer to the castle entrance. The few guards standing there at first stood their ground, but then scrambled to get away. "I'm not getting paid enough for this!" One of them exclaimed.

"Star, I'm not feeling so good." Asha said as she touched her forehead. She was feeling a bit dizzy. Valentino looks at her with concern while thunder was beginning to rumble in the distance.

"No problem, We'll go back to the forest. Just hang in there!" Star exclaimed as he continued his stampede through Rosas. He blew his trunk to warn the rest of the citizens to move. The people dove out of the way just in time. The guards from the castle got blocked by the debris Star left behind and could follow them anymore.

The trio finally made it out of the castle, they may have left a lot of damage in their path, but they were still alive.

The starboy began to feel tired and changed himself to a horse. He appeared to be going slower than he was as an elephant.

"Okay, where do we go now?" He asked, but there was no answer. He looked behind him and saw Asha was unconscious, Valentino was very worried.

His long face was in horror. "ASHA!" Star once again changed his form to a gorilla and continued, but was he was feeling even more tired. As if he'd been running for hours, he began to lose his breath. Rain began to drizzle down but none of them took notice.

Star then changed one more time to his human form and began to move even slower. He was struggling to carry Asha and fly. As they approached the forest, Star assured an unconscious Asha.

"Its...its all right, Asha. We're gonna...make it." He slowly desenced to the ground as his flight wore off and his vision began to blur. Valentino jumped in front of him and brayed.

"Nah. I'm good, buddy." Star sounded more out of breath, his feet dragging on the ground. "I just....need to....rest..." with that, Star had fallen to the ground with Asha still in his arms. The yellow glow around him faded as well and his hair from sparkling white to grey. He had landed at the edge of the forest away from Rosas.

Both of them lay unconscious on the ground as the rain started to fall harder. Valentino brayed with worry. Neither of them were moving no matter what he did. The little goat wanted to go get help, but would that put them in danger? He began to whimper as he gently nuzzled himself between Asha and Star.

After he closed his eyes, a shadow appeared over the three of them. The screen then fades to black.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

FINAL THOUGHTS

*Collapses on couch* My gosh, that was long! I promised so many things to come at the end of the last chapter, and I don't like not keeping promises, so I had a LOT to add here. This is probably my most busy one since "I'm A Star", and literally everything happens! 😂

I actually got a lot inspiration from other rewrites and even many of the classic Disney films I've been rewatching recently. The biggest inspiration for Wish Granted is actually Hercules, since its one of my all time favorite Disney films. I loved how all the Disney Renaissance films had tons of humor, which made the action and darker scenes even better to watch, so that's the vibe I'm going for here. Though I never thought I'd use a Monster's Inc. quote in a cruel way...😅 Also yes, I'm making a point that the royals keep referring to Star as "it" and "thing" while Asha is the only one who addresses him as a person with "he".

And with this chapter, it finally happened: Star and Asha have officially joined the angst club! 😂 (Flazino has had angst from DAY ONE) They both have been messed up by the royals one way or another, its just Star is feeling pain for the first time, while Asha's pent up anger towards Magnifico and Amaya has been building up for years. And now we get a glimpse of what Star looks like when he's angry/hurt without a filter. Mags here pushed him very close to the edge of rage. It was satisfying knocking Mags senseless though. I have a design for that form I'm working on, since it'll fully appear in the final battle/chapters.

One extra thing I decided to add is that Asha carries a little bit of a trait from Belle. Only instead of just reading a vast amounts of books, she's fascinated by artifacts and its history from other lands, magical or otherwise. I thought it would be fun to have her be a closeted fangirl for fairytale relics, and treated it like a Disney version of loving comics. Think of it as a similar thing with Po being a fanboy for Kung Fu history and figures. Or a parallel to Disney experts who grew up with the movies. (Disney objects = world artifacts in a nutshell)

There's going to be another long break before the next chapter, working on the aforementioned Star's rage form, as well as designs for the royals, Sabino and Sabor. And I'll do my best to get some of those art challenges done too.

Thanks for reading!

TKoRaT Asha 🤝 WG!Flazino

(Being sleep deprived from unhealthy amounts of stress)

(I can't draw at the moment, but I thought it was hilarious seeing your Asha being so tired, she's not connecting to reality. And Flazino is so stressed he might have mentally aged 30 years. They'd get along. 😂)

Btw I bet Flazino is not even getting paid, he is just essentially doing free labor just to "learn" magic 😭

They need a long vacation 💀

@rascalentertainments @oh-shtars @annymation @uva124va @signed-sapphire @spectator-zee @chillwildwave

[oh-shtars]

Since ya feel bad about not drawing lately, I have one suggestion:

RFTS!Flazino giving WG!Flazino therapy.

Or even this exchange:

RFTS!Flazino: Hey, where's your tour guide hat? Its custom to where it during the song.

WG!Flazino: Burned it. I've lost my sanity, not my dignity.

REFTS!Flazino: *Looks horrified*

(Just spitballing ideas off the top of my head 😂)

Hehe, to be honest, I saw their little therapy session to be more like this:

RFTS!Flazi’s response to coping with burdensome emotions is usually with humour. In reality, he’s losing it under that charismatic smirk of his :)

Flazi doodle cuz idk… Y’all seem to be in a craze for this guy lately for some reason 😂

[chillwildwave]

Could you try drawing all the Flazinos in the Wish fandom?

Here you go, a couple of sketches that I managed to do to create all the Flazinos from each Wish Rewrite/AU.... *drops these and runs away*

[spectator-zee]

Hey there! I saw you've been starting to expand your own rewrite so I'd thought of a few questions or you! Now I'm not fully versed in your Wish AU, but I'm genuinely curious. So here we go:

How did you come up with the idea of your rewrite? Was it from watching the Disney movie or other people's rewrites?

How does SFTS!Asha interact with other Wish AU Ashas?

Same as #2, but with Apollo and the other Starboys. 😂

How long does your storyline go on?

Uhhhh.... Any Angst, I'm still new to it. 😅

How many songs are you including in your rewrite? Do they include A Wish Worth Making, or This is the Thanks I Get or perhaps an original song?

Is there a Flazino in your rewrite?

When can we expect the first chapter?

Are all 7 Teens included in SFTS, or is it reduced? Or are they just wiped from existence? 😂

Out of questions, but I want to give you a hug:

Good luck on your stuff! 😎

1. How did you come up with the idea of your rewrite? Was it from watching the Disney movie or other people's rewrites?

I got inspiration from both my mutuals, the movie, some tropes i love from watching different anime and reading multiple Webtoons.

So my little wish au was born. It was initially was just going to be my little secret, just drawing my own version of Asha and Starboy and writing down some ideas for the AU whenever I have ideas for it, but when @signed-sapphire tagged me to recreate my Asha and Starboy on this picrew they found, well-

I was forced to reveal my two kiddos 🤧

(Just kidding Saph ily platonically-)

ANYWAYS-

Lots of stuff changed compared to the first draft too.

I actually had two other wish AUs before the current one i have right now.

One is a sort of villain AU of Asha and Starboy, where i named that Starboy Alzir. (I can't remember why i named that guy like that tho)

And one where Asha is the thought to be dead princess of Rosas turned vigilante of some sorts, also with a Starboy (also named Orion). The guy was WAY less traumatized than the current Orion, Good for him!

2. How does SFTS!Asha interact with other Wish AU Ashas?

The Kingdom of Roses and Thorns 🥀(by @your-ne1ghbor) My Asha enjoys spending time with Neighbor's TKoRaT!Asha, they would probably talk about hobbies and what they do to alleviate boredom when confined inside a castle. Though my Asha mostly focused on her job of doing paperwork and castle finances and whatever the heck a princess's job is inside the castle idk. Imagine Navier from Remarried Empress, i definitely got inspired by her a lot when it comes to my Asha.

The Fallen Star 🌠 by @signed-sapphire She would probably not get along with Saph's Asha very much, she'd also try to reel TFS!Asha back whenever she's being rude to someone.

I feel there would be a scenario where TFS!Asha would be ranting to my Asha about the TFS!Seven teens for not appreciating their perfect and benevolent princess and my Asha would just be looking at paperwork and be like-

"Mhm" "Yes, that must be awfully tragic"

My Asha would NOT be listening at all LOL

Reach for the Stars 🌌 @oh-shtars At this point she's not surprised that there's an AU where she's a servant instead. She'd also be kinda akward towards her. since most of the castle staff in my AU knows of her existence but hasn't seen her personally or thinks she's intimidating/standoffish and she'd try her best to not "scare" RFTS!Asha.

Aled Wish au 🏙️ by @uva124 They'd bond over coffee and overworking maybe?

The Kingdom of Wishes 🌟 by @annymation She'd ask advice on how to draw other people, as she only knows how to draw herself, her surroundings and some animals.

Wish Granted @rascalentertainments She can't tell if WG!Asha doesn't like her or not because of her sarcasm. Though she thinks that WG!Asha probably already doesn't like her due to her being adopted by the Royal couple.

The Wishing Kingdom 🏰 @chillwildwave She'd relate on to her not being good at magic and both of their Magnificos berating them for not being good at it, she'd try to teach some of the spells she learned by herself to TWK!Asha tho.

The Assistant and the Star 📚 @tumblingdownthefoxden If she ever hears about TaatS! Asha was being stalked, she would have been pretty pissed and if she had the authority, she would have had them arrested and served prison time or community service.

Cause..im pretty sure that STALKING SOMEONE THAT IS THE KING'S APPRENTICE ARE PROBABLY GROUNDS TO SOME PUNISHMENT AT LEAST

3. Same as #2, but with Apollo and the other Starboys.

The Kingdom of Roses and Thorns 🥀 With Neighbor's TKoRaT! Star, Orion sees him as his first Starboy friend, his homie, his first partner in crime! Whenever he wants to hang out with someone (that isn't Asha), he goes to find him first...and drags him along with his shenanigans

The Fallen Star 🌠 With Saph's Cielo, he now has a pranking buddy! (Besides TKoRaT!Star of course) He does get concerned that he trusts so easily towards strangers. But good thing he's a living lie detector and he'll look out for any bad guy that wanna take advantage of him....aaand cue him shooting an arrow at TFS!Mag. Sorry Saph-

Reach for the Stars 🌌 Sueño my boy, Orion would play music for him whenever he sees Sueno is upset or uncomfortable to calm his nerves. When he heard about how he got imprisoned by Magnifico and got his magic drained for years...well, let's just say he had a violent reaction and RFTS!Magnifico is going to be a pincushion once Orion gets his hands on him--

Aled Wish au 🏙️ Wish Uva's Haedus, he had to do a double take cause he can sense that Haedus is pretty powerful. But after getting over that, he thinks that he's really cool to hang out with. Orion would also love Naos and Nembus, he'd try to teach them how to perform spells that they can do even with weak magic.

The Kingdom of Wishes 🌟 He'd be in awe over Aster's cool cape and question how the heck did he manage to defeat his Magnifico. He'd also applaud that Aster was ready to square up against his Magnifico too, i still remember the swords he made out of stardust, even though it didn't hurt Magnifico, it was still one of my favorite moments.

Wish Granted 💫 WG!Star!!!! i love this little bundle of Joy, Orion would have a bit of a hard time keeping up with Star's energy at first though. He'd also be pretty protective as Star doesn't seem to recognize how dangerous his royal couple is.

The Wishing Kingdom 🏰 I remember wave mentioning that Antares has a tendency to lie a lot. Due to a past experience, Orion manifested the ability to tell when someone is lying. Whenever Antares lies about something, Orion...would not call him out on it, in public at least. He'd first yank him somewhere private and ask if he's okay and that he's here if Antares needs someone to talk with.

The Assistant and the Star 📚 He can heavily relate with having healing powers yet not being able to save people who they needed to protect. (I love Altan's backstory btw) On a less angsty note, They'd bond over being the only Starboys having fluffy fur on their outfits. Orion would start a "Starboys with Fluffy fur on their outfits" club, only with two members at the moment :')

4. How long does your storyline go on?

In universe it would either be a few months or a year at most.

Cause I feel like it would be like an anime/cartoon(??) series with episodes in it to show dynamics of side characters with one another, or Asha and Orion shenanigans, The Royal couple shenanigans, even an episode dedicated to Asha's owl and Amaya's cat just having beef with each other. Asha and Orion needs time to establish trust with one another over time. Gain allies to stand against the King and Queen, Make the people doubt about the Royal couple, Arc where Asha gets to explore outside the castle walls!, Asha having her first public appearance, episode showing what happened to Rosas' previous King and second prince, Orion backstory, 7 teens POV, all that fun stuff.

(Disclaimer: I am NOT writing all that- I have NO writing experience whatsoever, my au is just a fun little concept that i would just either draw out or share little fun facts about whenever inspiration strikes)

5. Uhhhh.... Any Angst, I'm still new to it. 😅

Magnifico gifted Asha a crown made of thorny vines for her birthday, she still wears despite it being hurting because it's the only crown she has. And to remind herself that a princess's job is a heavy/painful burden.

6. How many songs are you including in your rewrite? Do they include A Wish Worth Making, or This is the Thanks I Get or perhaps an original song?

I don't really plan on Writing this au, it's more like a fun concept that i would share fun facts of or draw occasionally. But if there would be music in it, it would include most of the Songs that are already in the movie except:

• I'm a star • This is the thanks i get • Knowing what i know now

and i would replace them with songs like:

• Wouldn't you like

(Because i freaking LOVE Epic the Musical okay? and Orion would be the type to sing a happy tune with some sinister lyrics sometimes lol)

Here, Orion makes an offer of partnership between him and Asha, he'd be her ally in the quest of preventing Magnifico and Amaya's plans, he also sings some of their crimes during the song too

"She can turn you into an animal that would end up on a plate! "She can all but make you fall in love, like you're on your hundredth date! "He can turn into a monster! And he'll grind you to the bone" "They have all the ways to haunt ya, if you take them all alone!"

He sings these crimes that they they have done in a catchy tune so Asha won't get too spooked but he makes sure that she understands that those two are definitely dangerous and you should be very cautious around them. Because they have definitely done these acts, and would definitely do it again to any person who would oppose them.

• They're only Human

Here the Royal couple sings a duet, looking down on the people that are so far beneath them. Also I'd imagine them singing the Annapantsu and Caleb Hyles Cover instead of the OG version (I still love the og tho)

Not entirely sure what rebellion song I would replace "Knowing what I know now" though

And if there would be an Original song, it would be a song about Asha singing/comforting Orion because he's having a mental breakdown. Singing to him along the lines of- "Deep breaths" "Count with me" "And Repeat"

Idk I'm not a songwriter

And it would be named something like- "Don't blame yourself" or "Things that weren't your fault"

And at some point, Orion would sing this back to her, like a reprise of sorts when she's the one who needs comforting

p.s. I just realized that "Here comes a thought" from Steven Universe would be a perfect alternative instead oh my god-

7. Is there a Flazino in your rewrite?

Oh yeah he exists, Asha gave him a raise once, surprised that he didn't quit being Magnifico's magic apprentice since all the previous ones quit and was never seen again (She's secretly investigating where they are as she caught wind of their families being worried sick about them). Flazino didn't know why his salary increased and who did it, cause it's definitely not Magnifico or Amaya, but he's grateful to that person.

He also goes around Rosas to help with his magic, as he's one of the only people in the kingdom authorized to use magic. (Being Magnifico's apprentice and all)

8. When can we expect the first chapter?

I'm not really a writer, so i actually plan to show some happenings in my au with drawings once motivation strikes once in a while, or if some people asks me about stuff about my au cause i don't really talk about stuff unless someone asks me about it

9. Are all 7 Teens included in SFTS, or is it reduced? Or are they just wiped from existence? 😂

They exist! They help their parents who work at the castle, like an internship of sorts so they would take their places once they have come of age. (This might change in the future who knows)

10. Out of questions, but I want to give you a hug

❤️❤️❤️HUG!! ヾ(≧ ▽ ≦)ゝ❤️❤️❤️

[snackara]

Chapter One: Welcome to Rosas

We begin our story with Disney’s 100th anniversary logo.

It fades to black, before panning across a study and zooming onto a book sitting on a desk. The book has no title, instead having a large star on the cover.

The book flips open and shows a page depicting a night sky, filled with glowing people where the stars should be. A castle rests in the middle on a bed of clouds. A man begins to narrate.

Once upon a time, there was a realm far far away, known as the Celestial Realm. There lived stars, beings who possessed great magical power and could do amazing things.

The page flips showing some stars on one side of the page, while humans are on the other. One of each is in the middle of the page, shaking hands.

For a long time, the stars traveled between their realm and our realm, helping us achieve many great things and granting people their hearts desires.

We pan to the next page, showing the humans and stars again, but this time the humans look more like evil creatures, with black silhouettes that only show two green eyes and a mouth like a jack-o-lantern. The stars meanwhile are cowering away from the humans.

But it did not last. The humans became more and more greedy, and demanded more from the stars. Some even tried to take the magic of the stars for themselves

The page flips, showing the stars high in the sky and looking down at a city below. The humans look distraught, praying and begging to the stars. In the middle of the stars is a tall figure with a glowing dress and a wand.

The stars fled back to their realm and stayed there, using their magic to watch over the humans. The people below were of course upset, and begged the stars to come back. Their queen came down for the final time and told them “Listen well. Only when you have proven yourselves to be brave, true, and unselfish creatures will we come back to your aid.” And since that day, the stars remained in the sky, watching and waiting.

We fade to black, where a title appears: “Upon a Star”. •◌•◌•★•◌•◌•

We fade back in, panning across the city of Rosas.

The camera focuses in on a young woman dressed like a musketeer sitting on a rooftop. On one side of her there’s a large empty sack, and on the other a genet nibbles a berry. “Look at that Valentino. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and all is calm. The perfect day to steal stuff, wouldn’t you agree?” The girl asks the genet, who chitters and licks his paws. I’m glad.” She grabs the sack and slides down the roof, Valentino following her.

(via unknown) We cut to a different location, now at the docks. A young man paces, rubbing his temples. He has shoulder-length dark brown hair. His clothes are plain, apart from his dark blue tunic and cape.

“I can’t believe he put me on tour duty again! Just because I was a few minutes late to one of his lessons…” He sighs. “Let’s just get this over with.” He stops and straightens up as he see’s three adults, a couple teenagers, and a child disembarking a ship. He clears his throat and waves to them. “Ah, Hello! Hola, Shalom, Salam! Welcome to Rosas, where your all wishes can come true! I’m Flazino, and I’ll be your guide!”

🎵 Welcome to Rosas 🎵

Flazino

Group

Citizens

Welcome to Rosas Come along, come this way Where the greatest creations are all on display There's no other place as full of surprise Where your dreams and your reality can collide

(Flazino guides the group through the city gates, making grand gestures around the city. They pass by a man operating a large machine similar to the one Belle’s father had in Beauty and the Beast, and stare in awe.)

You wanna touch the sky? Or to feel more spry? Make your dreams come true? Well, hey, do we have good news for you

(They pass by a man on stilts, then an older woman dancing with the grace and ease of someone much younger. More citizens start to appear as Flazino gives the group a wink. The stock characters other citizens start to dance)

'Cause here in the city of Rosas You can turn all your wanting to wishing No what-ifs and no wonders Oh, here in the city of Rosas  It's unlikely that you'll be unhappy With so much to discover

(Flazino dances in the center of it all as he sings. The group watch with delight, a couple even joining in. Flazino twirls the little girl, who giggles.)

A home for me (me) For you (you) And all of us (us) The city of Rosas

(Flazino points to people in the group and leads them over to a puppet show similar to the one in the movie)

So like, we have this king name Manuel And years ago he saved us with a spell

(A puppet that looks like the king holds up a scepter, warding off several evil-looking puppets.)

With lightning for hands and eyes that can glow No, no, no, I'm totally kidding! But he is powerful He’s just like us with a twist So much power, so much to list!

(He holds up his hands creepily at the little girl, who gasps in fear. He quickly stops and ruffles her hair playfully.)

A magic swish And there you have it, poof, there's your wish! Ooh and, hey did I mention when you turn eighteen? You get to give your wish in a ceremony And he keeps them safe, every wish he acquires  And once a month he grants someone's greatest desire  It could be you someday, or you, or even you Ooh, who could wait?

(A citizen puppet gives puppet Manuel a blue ball, then jumps around happily. Flazino points to three of the citizens on “you”. A couple glance at each other with doubt.)

(A man) Does it hurt? (The child) Do you cry? Oh, no, and you won't even miss it when you say "goodbye"

(Flazino looks a little hesitant at first as they ask, but brushes it off with a little wave and smile.)

'Cause here in the city of Rosas  You can turn all your wanting to wishing No what-ifs and no wonders Oh, here in the city of Rosas It's unlikely that you'll be unhappy With so much to discover

(The group, looking a little more reassured and confident, join in on the singing and dancing. Flazino looks relieved.)

A home for me (me) For you (you) And all of us (us) The city of Rosas

(Everyone dances until the end of the song, where Flazino and several citizens strike a pose on the steps outside the courtyard of the castle, similarly to the movie.)

The citizens clap and cheer, chatting amongst themselves with delight. Flazino is used to it by now. He’s seen it all before, the sheer delight before the inevitable happens. His smile falters a little as he overhears some of the group.

“Wow, this place is amazing!”

“I wonder if the king would grant my wish?”

“This is such a magical place to live!”

The little girl smile and tugs at presumably her mother’s sleeve. “I can’t wait to give my wish to the king someday!” Flazino fakes a chuckle at this comment.

A loud commotion comes from a ways down the road, though it’s hard to see what’s going on through the crowd. The tour group perks up at this with alarm. “What was that?” One woman asks.

Flazino waves a hand dismissively. “Probably just a spooked horse or something. Why don’t we go see the artisan district?” He quickly ushers the group away to a different part of the city.

We cut back to the girl from earlier, who’s running across a roof and holding a small sack. She stops a the edge of the roof and turns around, where we see several guards stalking toward her. “Stop right their Alondra!”

The girl, who's name is really Asha, crosses her arms and chuckles. “Ah, hey there O’Donohue. Good to see you again, you look great. Is that a new helmet?”

“Your sweet-talking won’t save you now. You have committed crimes against Rosas and her people. Pay for your crimes or suffer the consequences.” The guard grumbles.

“Or I could do this.” Asha quickly grabs a clothesline and cuts it, swinging down to the street below. She lands seamlessly on her feet and looks up. “You won’t get away that easily, thief!” The guard shouts from above. “Ha, I already have!” Asha calls back before quickly running down the street. After a minute she stops and looks around, clutching the bag.

A couple other women are standing by washing clothes. One looks up at Asha and chuckles. “Getting into trouble a little early, aren’t we Alondra?”

Asha puts her hand to her chest in pretend shock. “Who, me? I would never.” There’s more shouting from up ahead, and we see around ten guards now barreling towards Asha. She clears her throat and draws a rapier from its hilt. “Excuse me ladies.”

Asha tucks the bag into her belt and rushes at the guards. The guards draw their swords as well. Asha takes on one guard at a time, dispatching each with ease. She parries their blows and sends one into a wall. Another trips and fall so into a wheelbarrow that Asha kicks away. Yet another is knocked down by a barrel Asha rolls at him. She smugly smiles as she faces the sixth guard in her path. Another grabs her. “I got her Simon! I’ll-“ he’s cut short as Valentino lands on his head, spinning his helmet.

“Good timing, Val.” Asha says, wriggling free. Valentino chitters and jumps onto her shoulder as they run off again. The remaining four guards pursue. Residents watch from the sides of the street or from their windows as Asha looks around for a quick escape. She notices a cart filled with bags of gold outside a wealthy-looking house. She bolts to it and tips it over, letting gold spill into the middle of the street.

Immediately citizens rush over to the gold, grabbing whatever they can. The guards try and push through, but once they make it to the front, Asha is nowhere to be found. Suddenly, her voice comes from above, on a rooftop. “Good citizens, accept this gift from the Alondra of Rosas!” She waves her hat and bows before making her escape. Valentino waves as well before following. The citizens cheer and clap. “I’ll get you one day, Alondra! I’ll get you if it’s the last thing I do!” The first guard, O’Donohue, calls.

We cut back to Asha, a little later in the day now. She’s in an abandoned house, carefully placing clothing and food in the large bag from earlier. “That should do it. Now, why don’t we watch a little show before we take this home?” She asks Valentino. He nods happily and skitters up a flight of stairs onto a balcony. Asha follows and leans against the railing, looking down at the courtyard of the castle below. The entire kingdom is gathered, talking quietly amongst themselves as the sun begins to set. The trumpets begin to play. There’s a huge flash of light and the crowd cheers loudly. King Manuel himself jumps out to the front of the stage.

“HELLOOOO ROSAS!”

The crowd whoops and hollers, though it sounds somewhat dry. Nevertheless, they continue to clap and cheer. Queen Amaya and steps out from the main door, making short curtsy’s before seating herself near the back of the stage. She looks perfectly content and even a little bored. We cut back briefly to Asha, who sneers and rolls her eyes at the king.

Manuel smiles, drinking in the attention, beaming and twirling his staff. “Thank you, thank you. You’re too kind.” He waves his hand for silence. The crowd immediately goes quiet. “Now, first things first, we have two new residents ready to give their wishes.” Two people from the earlier tour walk up the steps. “Elena and Stefan, welcome to Rosas. You’ll love it here.” Manuel holds his hands out. “Now make your wishes.” The two close their eyes right, and a glowing emanates from their chests. They take a deep breath and two wish bubbles appear. The new residents blink, suddenly looking deeply saddened, though they try to hide with smiles. “Don’t worry. They’ll be perfectly safe.” Manuel says. He waves his staff and sends the wishes up to his tower. The two nod and slowly walk back down the steps. “Forget without regret!” The crowd chants.

We cut again to Asha, who watches the king with a mixture of disgust and sadness. “Now, who is ready to have their wish granted?” Manuel shouts. The crowd cheers again with more sincerity. “Now, I have thought very hard about who’s wish will be granted tonight, and I have decided on someone who has waited long enough.” Murmurs ripple through he crowd. “So it is with great pleasure, that I announce Anya Ivanov will have her wish granted tonight.”

The crowd applauds, and Anya gasps. “Did- did I hear that correctly? I- Oh my goodness!” She bounds up the steps, her face filled with relief and joy.

Manuel chuckles. He waves his staff again. “Anya, it if my great pleasure to grant your wish to sow the most beautiful dresses in all the land.” A pair of scissors magically appears in front of Anya. She smiles and holds the scissors gently. She looks happy but also somewhat…underwhelmed. As though she hadn’t expected her wish to be that simple.

The crowd cheers for Anya as she leaves the stage. Manuel waves and twirls his staff one more time, sending more sparks out across the courtyard. “Thank you all for coming. Get home safely and have a good evening.”

Asha stretches. “Well, that’s our cue buddy.” Valentino hops onto her shoulders and the two make their way back down the stairs, grabbing the sack of goods. We cut to the edge of the kingdom, where Asha is loading the sack up onto a black horse. It snorts and paws the ground. “Oh, don’t be like that Maximus. If you behave this time, I might let you have an extra scoop of oats, or even a special treat.” The horse’s ears swivel at this and it straightens up. “That’s what I thought.” Asha chuckles. She climbs onto Maximus’s back and rides off into the woods.

Author’s Notes

I looked up. So much sword terminology. Only to use two or three specific words. The life of a writer can be quite a tedious one, I must say.

But anyways, it’s finally here! I hope you all enjoyed this first glimpse into Rosas. My main goal with this chapter was to mainly set up some characters, setting, and lore. As well as hint at later themes. I’m pretty happy with how everything turned out. Except for the action scene. It’s not my strong suit, and I think I bit off a little more then I could chew for the first chapter. But I’m relatively okay with it.

I originally planned to rewrite “Dream a Little Harder” from Twisted and use it as the opening song. Ultimately however, I wasn’t sure how to fit in all of the information needed, so I just stuck with a Welcome to Rosas rewrite. If anyone wants to use that idea for their rewrite however, I would really encourage it. Especially since Twisted is a parody musical of Aladdin (and a lot better then that movie in my opinion but I digress).

I had a lot of fun figuring out Flazino and Asha’s personalities. I can tell Asha is going to be fun to write. She does have that “cool guy” persona, but there’s still a glimpse at empathy for others that might emerge more. As for Flazino, he’s kind of just some guy, but that’s why I like him. He’s someone who obviously wants to do the right thing, but doesn’t know how or even if he could. He’s actually inspired a bit by Phineas Thatch from the podcast Midst, with less of a temper.

As for the king and queen…I’ll talk about them more when the time comes. Speaking of them though, with the wishing ceremony I wanted to give a feeling of unease. Everyone is putting up a front, the people who give up their wish are saddened by it, and the lady who gets her wish is underwhelmed. It makes the audience suspicious of Manuel’s intentions and brace themselves for him to be revealed as the villain. Though that’s a story for…two or three chapters from now.

Thanks for reading!

Yo Saph! I just finished writing the first chapter of Wish Granted! All that's left to add is the rewrite of the Welcome to Rosas song! The way I was thinking to start it off is that Flazino sings to the new comers about Rosas for the first two verses, then after he explains the rules about how the king takes the wishes from people when they turn 18, it immediately has Magnifico cut into the song. And then both he and his wife start singing about how great and powerful they are, and the song gets completely hijacked by them! 😂

How do you think it should go?

So like you said, I think Flazino introducing the song, but I think some lyric changes would be nice

Maybe changing them to say “oh, welcome to Rosas, an amazing kingdom _______,” and then introduce the rules maybe after “—collide”

There’s really only a few verses in this song, so maybe the royals jump in after this part. Although, it really depends what kind of person they are, if they think themselves above everyone else then why would they jump in at any random song with the poor citizens? But if they’re more showy and fake, then maybe Mag builds himself up “lighting for hands” esque line

Amaya can maybe jump in at the “hey did I mention” line, or whatever you change it to, I do think lyric changes based on their personality would be better

Flazino can try to refocus the song but the royals keep interrupting him, again, don’t really know what their personalities are like but maybe this happens around the “does it hurt” line or before

And then there’s the wrap up! This is a very short song and I don’t know too much about Wish Granted, so I can’t say much, but I hope this helps! LMK if you need any more details or can share more so I can be more specific!

ASHA REFERENCE SHEET WOO

(This took way too long) But ever since the official WG design came out, I decided to make a full reference sheet, with permission ofc-

Note: I will be making a Star reference sheet but I gotta continue working on a DTIYS.

Wish Granted by: @rascalentertainments

[rascalentertainments]

Wish Granted AU: Flazino

Now the sorcerers' overworked, underappreciated, underpaid, incredibly tired apprentice, Flazino! I keep laughing at the fact that this guy has more depth to him than half the cast of the canon movie. 😂 He went from throwaway character to a nearly co-protagonist character with importance to the story!

His design was inspired by several Disney characters. The outfit and hair are a reference to Arthur/Wart from "The Sword in the Stone". The face and body language is based on George from the Paperman short film (Remember how great that was? And it mastered the 2D/3D hybrid animation long before Wish? What happened to those animators, Disney?)

(You can even use this concept art as reference for Flazino if you want too, especially that pissed off look 😂)

And I swear it wasn't on purpose, but as I started drawing him tired, he started resembling Bruno. All his references are from overworked or stressed out characters and I didn't even do it on purpose! 😂

Now for some backstory and info dump! This was pretty fun because I got to create my own take on him since there's practically nothing on him outside of a deleted scene.

• Like the aforementioned deleted scene, Flazino's wish is to study magic. For this story, its so he can help others lives be better, which is what he thought Magnifico wanted as well. He thought the job would be more glamorous or fun as he learned, but it turns out Mags doesn't actually want a successor. He plans on being in power permanently. He pretends he granted Flaz's wish and instead of studying magic, he's the errand boy, cleans the lab equipment, feeds Sabor, and is in charge of the tour guides for newcomers. Flazino just practices what he can at home and secretly takes ingredients from Amaya's potion cabinet.

•No one's sure if the bags under his eyes are from losing his wish and side effects starting, or its just him being stressed out all the time. Either way he's like Aled, he doesn't sleep much cause he's always working or worrying. He's sort of sassy when he's really tired so he might make an off hand comment. Bonus: He swears, but its censored in the "Spongebob Sailor Mouth" style. You'll just hear a noise or beep censorship sound in place of it. 😂 (Hey, you can say "Hell" and "Damn" in a Pixar movie now, so why not?)

•He gave his wish at 18, and was surprised to hear it was getting granted so soon. Though Mags doesn't really need an apprentice, he takes Flaz on just in case something happened to him, all of his magic, power and evil will go into the apprentice. Sort of passing on his plans to him to become the next Magnifico and continue his work. That's pretty terrifying.

• Most people in the Hamlet think that he and Asha are secretly a thing, but that's not the case. Lord knows Sabino wanted his granddaughter to get a boyfriend so she'd stop being so serious all the time. They never really had feelings like that for each other, they just stayed friends. One part is because Asha has just sealed herself off from connecting deeper with other people, and on Flaz's side, he already has feelings for someone else. (Also, after Star shows up and spends time with Asha, she starts feeling things for him she's been repressing for years. Girl, chill.-)

• During the first few months of becoming the apprentice, he learned about the Hamlet through rumors in Rosas. He didn't understand why people would run away until he stumbles on seeing the king and queen crush the wishes of a couple who talked about leaving Rosas and not trusting the royals. He never saw that couple again.

He later took off one night into the forest to finds this supposed Hamlet using a tracking spell. Once he finds it, Sabino and other people tell him why they ran and what a monster the royal could be. Flazino felt so disgusted that he promised to help anyway he could. So he makes an excuse to get specialty mushroom from the Uncharted Forest once a month and brings supplies to the Hamlet ever since. (stuff like seeds to grow food, flour, medicine, toys for the kids)

• A lot of the people actually go to Flazino if they can't get to the king for help improving the kingdom, or people needing help. The royals don't do crap, so he just does the best he can himself. But most people don't realize he's the one that granting their needs and not the royals.

• His connection to the 7 Teens actually foreshadows Asha bringing them together. Like the deleted scene suggested, they all know him as the "great apprentice to the king", when he's really just a tired guy trying not lose his sanity. He has different interactions with each of them.

Gabo is the one shouting that the royals are evil like a conspiracy theorist, but since he's such a low threat, they send Flazino to get rid of him and everytime he gets away. Gabo's been a nuisance for months now and he's even defacing anything with the royals on it. He actually agrees with Gabo, but obviously can't say it out loud.

For Simon, he tries to keep him awake when he can for his knight training, or guard duty so its his way of trying to help fulfill his wish of being a knight. He's tired himself, so its even harder.

Safi is allergic to practically everything when he cleans, so Flaz has an idea to make a medicine that can cure that through magic. He has no idea its just so he can talk to the girl he likes without sneezing in someone's face. 😂

Hal is one of the easiest he gets along with. She's pretty content where she is and gets along with him fine. Though he gets roped into doing some of her work when he's not paying attention, lol. If she does see an injustice being done to someone else she'll step in to help them.

Bazeema he's not even sure what she thinks of him. She's so shy whenever he talks to her, all he knows is that she does a great job caring for the local animals and flora in the kingdom, which he's thanked her many times for. Though she has been leaving him yellow roses as thank you messages.

Dahlia is actually the one he bonds with the best. He ends up talking to her when its time for Sabor's breakfast or dinner and she makes the food by hand with her parents. At first he just talked to her out of convenience and vent a little bit about being overworked (much to his surprise, she's actually listening). Then the two of them just found some comfort in talking to each other when they've had a long day and now its developed into a full-on crush for him. But with Dahlia going all fangirl on Magnifico, he doesn't have high hopes the feelings mutual. (She's been dropping hints but he's not getting it)

So I guess we got three Flazinos right now: RFTS!Flaz who actually likes his job and still wants to learn magic, UaS!Flaz who's a prince of the evil royals, and then WG!Flaz is an overworked man who wants to hurt his bosses. Y'all need therapy. 😂

(So now, Chapter 6 of WG will be out tomorrow! 😏)

Wish Granted 🌟👩🏾🎶 (Wish Reimagined)

Chapter 6: Welcome to Rosas (Part 2)

Chapter 5

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

"Don't be shy now." Magnifico insisted.

Flazino faked a laugh badly. "Whaaaat? No, no, no. They're nobody! I mean, they're obviously somebody, but they've been here before!" he stood in front of them to block the king's view.

Magnifico raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? I don't believe I've seen them around town before." He looked over Flazino's shoulder and noticed the girl in purple looked rather familiar to him.

"Oh yeah, yeah! They're from the far side of Rosas, you don't make a lot of trips there…" Flazino blurted on, making up this story as he went along.

As the apprentice continued, Star had sensed something was off about the king. He didn't seem to have a joyful vibe despite the smile on his face. And what was up with his staff?

The starboy's thoughts halted when he felt something tighten around his arm. He looked to his right and saw Asha's expression had changed. She wasn't happy to see the King at all. She looked as if she was hiding her fear, but Star could see it in her eyes. Asha was terrified of Magnifico.

She saw Flazino use a hand signal behind his back to tell them go, quickly.

"Star, we need to go. Right now." she whispered to him.

Star wanted to keep looking around town, but the fear in her eyes made him change his mind. "All right." He responded. For the first time, he was taking this seriously. He picked up Valentino, who was slightly shaking.

They quietly backed away, careful not to make a noise to alert the king.

"…So they were just passing by. They're probably gone by now!" Flazino raised his voice slightly in hopes the two of them had finally left.

The king's eyes looked up and the two leaving, his suspicions were confirmed.

"Ah, I see. What a shame. I'll have to meet them later on." Magnifico shook his head in pretend disappointment. "I came down see how some of my loyal subjects are doing. You know, really get to know everyone. Speaking of which, I have something in mind for you."

"Um…me, sir?" Flazino asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, I've realized that I've neglected my duties as your teacher. Its time that you had more…advanced training." he said with a smile as green fire emitted from his hand.

"Y-you're actually going to train me? I mean, advance my training?" The boy had been waiting for this moment for years, but…the Hamlet mattered more. "Sir, I don't know how to say this, but-" he started as he rubbed his arm.

"No need to thank me, Figaro!" Magnifico exclaimed as he put an arm around the teen and laughed.

"It's Flazino…" He muttered, but the king continued on like his apprentice hadn't even spoken.

"You can thank my darling wife Amaya for that once she returns! She caught on to that and insisted I take extra care of you for our next lesson!" the king explained as they headed back to the castle.

"Uh, sure. But can we make it a short lesson? I really have other duties to take care of." Flazino said as he threw blue powder behind his shoulder while the king wasn't looking. The smoke traveled from his hand and slithered on the ground like a snake and traveled through the crowd.

•◌•◌•★•◌•◌••◌•◌•★•◌•◌••◌•◌•★•◌•◌••◌•◌•★•◌•◌••◌•◌•★•◌

We end up going all the way back to the Hamlet, with the people already out doing their morning routines.

Sabino slept a little later than normal since the incident last night and needed the extra rest. Now that he felt refreshed, he took a deep breath, and was ready for a new day.

The old man hadn't seen Asha yet, but assumed she was already out finding inspiration for sketches. So he went out by himself. Sabino greets a few of the neighbors, one of which was leading some of the livestock to the nearby river.

Sabino waves to the man with a smile and continues towards the water well, but he over hears a conversation.

"I'm telling you, one of the squirrels said 'Good morning' to me!" A man told his wife who putting out the laundry. She rolled her eyes. "Next you'll be telling me a bear when asked for a pot of honey."

"THAT HAPPENED TOO!" the husband exclaimed.

Sabino hoped the guy wasn't going senile at such a young age, not even he heard something like that. He walked over to his usual spot at the well and noticed it felt different when he got there. He felt a hint of such joy from that spot, just like he did last night.

The camera shows beneath his feet there's a very faint glow from the leftover stardust. "What in the…?" He started, but was interrupted by Sakina's call.

"Sabino! Have you seen Asha? I've been looking for her all morning, but I haven't seen her. Valentino is missing too." Her voice had a slight panic in it.

The man grabbed her hand gently. "Now, now. Don't worry, I'm sure she's around here. Perhaps she went a little further in the forest than usual. You know how she tries to find new things here."

"Actually, she left here last night." A kid's voice chimed in.

The two of them looked around for the speaker, but no-one was near. "Down here!" The voice spoke again.

Sabino and Sakina looked down and saw a small grey rabbit looking back at them. It waved its little paw at them and said "Hi there!"

"…."

"Sakina, I fear that I'm finally losing my mind." Sabino said, still in shock of the talking rabbit.

"….We might both be losing it, saba." Sakina responded, the same as Sabino.

The rabbit laughed. He hopped onto the well so they could see him better. "Last night Asha was singing to the star in the sky, and it then came down, turned into a guy, and made us all talk! Then he sang a song too and then he said he wanted to help her save the kingdom, and then he turned into a horse and they ran off to a place called Rosas. It sounds fun!"

The two of them stared at the rabbit for a few moments. Then Sakina fainted.

"Is she okay?" The rabbit asked, concerned.

"Well….I guess she took my request rather quickly." Sabino laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his neck. "Oh dear…."

Cutting back to Asha and Star, they continued in the opposite direction. Asha finally breathed after they were far away enough. "That was too close. If he knew who we were…" her voice trailed off, not wanting think about what could've happened next.

She took out her sketchbook and started flipping through pages. "Looks like talking to Flazino won't work. They might be onto us already."

"So then, what do we do now?" Star asked, slightly distracted by the passerbys.

"Luckily I wrote down a little map here based on how Flaz described this place to me. I just hope its accurate enough..." She hoped.

The three of them slowly continued, with Star and Valentino following Asha closely. The little goat kept watch in case a guard or Sabor was near. A quick shot from the rooftops showed something moving quickly across the screen.

We quickly cut to a shot at feet level where the smoke is quickly catching up to the trio, sliding between several people.

Goingg back to the trio, Asha studied her map. "First, we'll need to get to the back of the castle somehow."

Behind her, Star quickly moved out of the way of a woman pushing a wheelbarrow full of stacks of flour. "Whoops! Sorry about that, buddy! Coming through with a delivery!" she had quite a chipper voice and whistled while she worked.

"Wow, she seems happy!" Star noted.

Asha continued looking through her book. "There should be a secret entrance somewhere around here, but we'll have to go further and try to circle around so we don't alert any guards."

Someone tapped Star on the shoulder. He turned and saw a girl holding a few daffodils in her hands. She looked a bit shy as she avoided making eye contact with him. "Um, I'd like to ask for you for a favor." she spoke in a soft, whisper-like tone. "Since you were kind enough to take the last of the flowers I couldn't sell, would you mind giving these to a boy named Safi?"

Star took the flowers and gave them a sniff. "Aw, sure! By the way who-" he looked up and the girl seemed to vanish into thin air.

"No need to be bashful! I don't mind doing it!" Star yelled, hoping that wherever she was, she heard him.

Asha quickly ran back to Star. "What are you doing?! Do you want to get us caught?" she grabbed his hand and pulled him along.

Before they proceeded further, a tall lanky blonde stepped in front of them. "Hey, you guys must be new around here! How about I give you a free show? The name's Dairo, by the way." He offered as he pulled a few colored balls from his pockets. He began to juggle them effortlessly in the air.

Asha had completely ignored him. Star on other hand... "Yeah, sure!" Valentino groaned and tried to push him away from the stranger.

"All right, prepare to be amazed!" The tall teen started to increase the amount of balls from 4 to 7 and was slowly walking backwards. "How you like this?"

Star had sparkles in his eyes. "IS THIS EARTH MAGIC?! I LOVE IT!"

"Hehe! Well, I'd like to think so- Whoawhoawhoa! Yaaah-hoo-hoo-hooey!!!"

Dario had stepped on a empty glass battle on the ground and was rapidly going backwards, still juggling the balls. He eventually went so far backwards he ended up falling into a barrel of water. "I'm okay!" he assured the concerned bystanders and gave a thumbs up.

Asha sighed as she let go of Star's hand. "What a dope. I can't wait to get out of this place. No one minds their own business." she grumbled.

"You know, I get what you've told me about that guy stealing wishes. But….is it really that bad?" Star asked in sincerity.

Asha looked at Star in surprise. "What?"

"I mean aside from a few of them looking sleepy a lot, this place looks great! And you're surrounded by tons of people and try something new all the time!"

Asha scoffed. "You can't be serious! My family had to run away from this place because of him!" She slightly raised her voice. "Don't be fooled by all this. That man and his wife are pure evil, and the sooner we take them down, the better."

Star didn't quite understand, but he went along anyway. "Sorry. I guess I was just thinking that this was better than where I was before now."

"How could this be better than being in space where you had the freedom to go where you wanted?" Asha argued.

"Because....at least I'm not alone like I was up there..." Star hesitated. His smile faltered as his eyes casted downwards. We see the glow in his hair completely faded.

Valentino looked up in concern. "Baaaah?"

Asha''s expression softened. She never thought about how Star felt up there. She just assumed he was just as happy in space as he is on Earth. But bringing it up seemed to bother him. Now she understood why he was so excited in the city. Seeing him down like this...it really bothered her.

She stepped a bit closer and reached a hand out to his face. He looked up to her, with widened eyes.

(Thanks to @ishadow246 for this little doodle, it was perfect for this! Just pretend he has a hood here, K? 😅)

"I'm sorry, I-" she started, but then a small cloud of blue smoke appeared in front of her face.

Both of them jumped and exclaimed in fear, Valentino hid behind Star's legs.

(imagine this, but blue)

"Sorry about that, Asha. Magnifico is practically breathing down my neck right now." The smoke had two cartoonish eyes and a mouth, while the voice coming out was Flazino's. "Glad I learned this communication spell last month. I guess he did teach me one useful thing." The voice sounded a bit like he was in a large room with an echo.

"Could've waited a few more minutes, but all right..." Star mumbled.

"Does this mean you can actually help us? I did draw out a map, but I'm not sure if its totally accurate." Asha said as she showed the blue cloud the pages of her book.

It took a brief look and smiled. "Actually, its pretty spot on, nice going! But it'll be a different story once you're inside. The king keeps the wishes in a room at the top of the castle."

The smoke then floated up as it took a look of the path leading to the castle. The coast looked mostly clear, with only a few guards around.

"I'll take you there, but you'll have to be quick. Mags has been acting strange since that big light last night, and he might be getting suspicious." he warned them.

Star and Asha shared a knowing glance. "You think he's talking about me?" He whispered to her.

The two of them quickly followed the blue ball down a path that led away from the town square. They could see the castle getting closer into view. The camera then cuts to a faraway shot where we see something large moving quickly across the rooftops.

"When we get inside, you'll have to be quiet, the guards doubled since last night." Flazino continued. "Once you're in his study, there's a big door that leads to the Wish Chamber, but you can't open it unless-"

The voice was cut off by a large animal that pounced onto the blue cloud. It came down so quickly, the three of them barely had time to react.

The lynx held the ball in his paw and began to squeeze it. "Sabor! No, no, no, bad kitty! Bad-" POOF!

The smoke ball disappeared and nothing but blue ash was left in his paws. The lynx slowly turned his head towards Star and Asha with devilish grin.

It flashes back to Flazino who's eyes were glowing blue until the connection was gone. "Nonono, that's not good. Not good." he started to panic as he began to look for the ingredients in the lab to make another spell.

"Is something troubling you?" Magnifico asked from behind him. His staff was beginning the glow, just like his eyes. "Perhaps you lost touch with someone?" He teased as he pointed his staff at Flazino's back.

The boy was too afraid to look back, but he knew the man had an evil grin.

Jumping right back outside, from around the corner, Amaya elegantly stepped into view. "Well, well, if it isn't the brave little girl and boy, or should I say starboy?" she let out a small chuckle.

The two of them took a step back in horror, with Valentino still hiding behind them.

"How-how did you...?" Asha couldn't even finish. They were so far ahead of her. How did she find them?!

She spread her arms as if she was inviting them in for a hug. "I see you made it quite far. But I'm afraid your journey stops here. Welcome to Rosas, my dears!" The queen's eyes glow green as she finishes.

Star could only said one thing. "Oh shtars-"

FINAL THOUGHTS

Wow, its been a loooong time, hasn't it? Looks like most of the fandom was on break and working on their rewrites at the same time, lol. There were times I felt like the dog that was left alone for a few hours and I just went crazy by going into all my friends AUs and then my own stuff. I think was actually shorter than planned.

But yeah, at long last we got Chapter 6! I'll admit this was a little harder to write this one. One because I haven't had a lot of time to sit down and write, and two I've had a ton of art to make on the side when I can. So now more of my characters can get some art! Now for this one, I had A LOT going on, mostly because there's so much I want to tell, and this story will probably be about 20 chapters or less. That's usually the length of my stories, even in non-fan work, so strap in.

So not only did we get the rest of teens (which will fully assemble later on) more of a focus later after Star has his first confrontation with Mags here. We also get more of Flazino, who's got his own storyline at this rate, lol. As you can see he can perform a bit if magic himself, but only small doses. (really playing into the double agent thing now, I'm really surprised how quickly he got fans)

His entire mood between chapters 5 & 6 (I'm sure he's fine…):

(George here is pretty much the base of WG!Flazino so it fits)

And I had to gave you a sprinkling of ship teasing with Asha and Star. I say sprinkle because the ship's gonna get stronger in the next chapters. Chapter 7 will be LONG, and we need a point where Asha can sleep, she's just been going nonstop and might end up like Flazino if she's not careful.

I'll give you some details on what's coming next: Dahlia and the teens will all come back in Chapter 7, and we'll see how she knows Asha. Our first magic battle between Star and Mags who finally meet, that traitor amongst us scene from the original film, Flaz needing therapy and of course SHIPPING!!

As for things outside this chapter, I'm posting a DTIYS challenge finally, so I hope you'll like to join it!

Thanks for reading!

Chapter 8: Trouble A-Brewin' 🌩🌟

Chapter 7

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

A distorted voice calls out during the black screen: "Manfred!"

"Manfred, wake up!"

A pair of eyes open wide, revealing the king's blue irises. His first sight was his wife, looking quite frightened. Sabor was there, but he didn't look too concerned as he cleaned his paw.

"Mi rey, can you hear me?" Her voice slightly shaking as she gently placed a hand on his face. He nodded slowly.

Amaya raised her hands and the books atop him levitate off and away from him, she then helped him to his feet. "What happened in here?"

The king growled in annoyance. "It was that blasted star. And Tomás' daughter."

The queen looked stunned. "Asha? We hadn't seen her since her father....'passed'. Wasn't she part of that traitorous group that escaped us as well?"

"Indeed. And now she summoned a star to destroy everything we've built. I knew we should've killed the rest of them when we had the chance!" Magnifico's voice grew louder as he became frustrated.

Amaya slowly rubbed his shoulders to calm him down.

"I just don't know how she did it. How could she summon a star in one try when we've been trying time and time again to no avail?" Magnifico questioned, though he didn't know the answer. It angered him to no end. "Worse yet, I couldn't find her wish when I tried to take it. Surely she must be using something to counteract me!"

Amaya had a thoughtful yet devious look on her face. "I believe I know how."

Magnifico looked at his wife with a curious eyebrow raised.

"From the time I've seen Asha and the star, they've been quite the inseparable pair. They're willing to protect each other at all costs." She walked over to the open window and looked down on the citizens.

Many of them were still in a daze after Star's stampede through the center of the town. Some were distraught over their lost stands and food. And others were checking on each other with some minor injuries. She had to hold back a small laugh seeing how pathetic they were.

"Yes, yes, I'm aware. When I was close to killing the girl, the star turned into its true form and well, you knows the rest." He didn't want to retell his defeat, especially not like this.

"And after your scuffle with it, it proceeded to trample through city with no regard for the citizens. Its only concerned was Asha."

"And just where are you are you going with this?" He asked impatiently as he tapped his foot. Sabor raised an ear curious to hear the answer as well.

Amaya chuckled. "The star came down because Asha wished on it, and Asha in return saves it. Its a tale as old as time, true as it can be, dear."

The king's eyes widened in realization. "No. No, no, no..." A laugh started to build up. "You're suggesting that the star is in love with that peasant?!" His laughter turned into an uproar, even Sabor had to snicker at the thought of something preposterous.

Amaya put hands on her hips in annoyance. "And just what is so funny?"

Magnifico was nearly doubled over, but he caught his breath. "Darling, they've only known each for what, a day? No one falls in love that quickly, its unrealistic!" He waved a dismissive hand.

(You should see those Classic Disney movies, man)

"And just how long did it take for us? If memory serves, it was not 1 minute more after you saw my wish."

Magnifico's smile faded as he remembered and he straightened up. "Point taken." He bent down to retrieve the staff he dropped in the fight. "Even so, it's just a luminous ball of light. It can't feel love, or joy or even anger. Its not even human!"

He eyed the small amount of yellow magic in his staff. "And I only managed to get a small dose of its power. Its not enough."

"You certainly felt its anger when it smacked you into next week didn't you?" She pondered for only a moment when an idea struck. "Perhaps we can use this to our advantage."

"The star or the power?"

"Both." She walked over a shelf that contained several maps of not just the sky, but of Rosas itself. She pulled a familiar map out and unrolled on the table. "Since the girl cares so deeply for her people, why not use them as leverage?"

"Are you suggesting we take the hamlet now?" Magnifico asked as he joined her side.

"Not just the hamlet. Her family. She clearly wished on that star so she had the power to defeat us. But!" She pointed a finger up. "What if in order to protect the people she loves, she would have to sacrifice something else she loves? And the star wouldn't go against who it loves."

A wicked grinned slowly appeared on the king. "So if we take her family..."

"We get the star." Amaya finished for him.

The king pulled her close. "I love the way your foul mind works. What would I do without my wickedly wonderful wife?"

The two passionately embraced while Sabor groaned. Once they separated, it was Magnifico's turn to get an idea.

"You know what? Why don't we sweeten the deal here?"

We cut to outside of the castle where the rain has let up a little bit, but the people were still shaken.

"I can't believe this happened on my watch." Simon groaned as he looked around. "Dad's never going to let me train again after this."

A teen gently pat him on the back. "Look at it this way. At least no one got trampled by the elephant, right? We're all still in one piece!" She said with a smile.

"Hal, I know you want to look at the best of everything, but not with this." Simon responded, un-phased. "If I'm going to become a knight someday, I need to help protect Rosas. And the first thing I'm gonna do is help catch those traitors. Starting with Gabo." His eyes tired, but determined.

"That's the spirit! See? You already found a way to help!" Hal beamed as she playfully hit in him on the shoulder.

The large town mirror began to sparkle and soon had a cloud of smoke circling within it, attempting to get a picture. But the rock Gabo threw at it earlier made it sound like static was going off. The Royal voiced could be heard, arguing about the picture.

"Is this thing broken?"

"Well, that little rebellious brat must've damaged it."

"I'll just get Flazino to fix it later."

Flazino heard that one. "Fix it yourself, you lazy ba-"

"Good afternoon, Rosas!" Magnifico greeted the citizens after the picture finally became clear.

Flazino pretend he didn't say anything.

"No need to panic, we're just fine, just a little shaken is all." He said as rubbed part of his back. "But as you can see, this is why we need your help."

A small crowd began to gather near the mirror, hanging onto every word.

"They don't care who gets in their way with their cruel plans to destroy us all. We've already identified one of them." said Amaya. "Her name is Asha, and she plans on tearing down this entire kingdom with her cohort!"

The crowd gasped. Dahlia was confused. "Asha? No, it couldn't be. She wouldn't betray the royals as soon as she got here, right?" she laughed off the assumption.

Flazino refused to make eye contact with her. "I-I wouldn't know! Who is this Asha?" he laughed nervously.

"I have full faith that our loyal knights will capture the traitors as soon as possible and we'll put a stop to their rebellion before it can even start!" Amaya announced confidently.

Several knights that were scattered amongst the crowd saluted with renewed confidence. "You heard our queen! We'll find those traitors together!" The captain of the guard announced.

The rest of the knights banded together and left the crowd to proceed with their new mission. The remaining citizens were beginning to get worried about their safety. Except for Dario, he seemed chill after seeing a giant yellow elephant destroy a chunk of the city. He just kind of blindly nodded.

"Now then. To ease everyone's minds we've decided to take a chance, and try something new." The king continued. "Tomorrow, we will be holding a special wish ceremony: We will grant 100 wishes in one night!"

That got all the citizens to cheer. Now there was a high chance anyone could have their dreams become a reality. Some had been waiting years for this!

"That means...I can finally become a knight?" Simon whispered to himself. He could finally stop the endless training that seemingly drained him of energy.

"This is something we've planning for quite some time. Almost feels its been a century since we started!" The queen said with a small chuckle. "And we'll have plenty of new arrivals coming to join us in the event!"

"So as we prepare for this event, please remain calm and remember," Magnifico started.

"Just keep wishing!" Dairo cut in.

"Watch your back." The king's tone suddenly grew serious. Just as quickly, his voice went back to friendly as he said, "Ta-ta for now!" The mirror developed smoke once again the images of the Royal disappeared.

"Oh. I thought he was going to say 'Just keep wishing'." Dario scratched his head.

"Well, I guess you can't predict everything they're going to do." Hal responded as the citizens began to go their separate ways.

While the rest of the citizens were excited for the event, the young apprentice was filled with dread. (What else is new?)

"Oh, this is bad. this is really, really bad..." He muttered to himself. He knew what was going to happen. "I have to warn the others..."

"Sorry, Dahlia. I'm gonna have to go." He told her as he handed her the parasol he conjured up when the rain started.

"Wait, where are you going?" she asked.

"Uhh, help the royals seek out the traitors? You know, before things get messy with them interrupting the ceremony."

(*coughcough foreshadowing *coughcough)

"Well, at least let me help you." Dahlia insisted. "Asha and I were best friends when she was in Rosas. I know she wouldn't do something as crazy take down a kingdom!"

She must've missed the fact Asha was the one on Elephant!Star earlier...

"How would you know? Its been years since you've seen each other. Maybe she's changed, or she's not the person you thought she was." Flazino folded his arms nervously. He hated talking about his friend like that, but he couldn't risk revealing himself as a traitor too.

Dahlia raised and a suspicious eyebrow. "And just what's that supposed to mean? You wouldn't happen be suggesting something about the king too, would you?"

The apprentice hesitated. If something was going to happen to him, shouldn't she know the truth about the king she was so enamored with? She might hate him for this, but it was better than seeing her possibly lose her life.

"All right, I wasn't going to say anything, but..." He looked around to make sure no one or even Sabor was listening. He took a few steps toward her and spoke in a low voice. "Magnifico isn't the man you think he is."

She shook her head. "Look, I now he kind of makes you work hard but-"

"I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the wishes. He doesn't grant any wishes that threaten his power or will amount to anything. He and his wife have been hoarding all wishes of Rosas so they can gain power over this kingdom. He basically wants to rule the world even if he has to take our lives, and If I don't try to stop them before the ceremony, we could all die!" He prayed that she would believe him. He looked into Dahlia's eyes hoping for any sign she understood.

Finally she spoke up as she put a hand on his cheek. "Flazi, I really think you need to sleep. You sound like you're spiraling. I'm certain there isn't an evil plot going on. You're starting to sound like Gabo."

Flazino sighed as he pulled away. "Forget it. Just stay safe, all right? I'll see you on Tuesday your family has that bake sale." He turned to head back home, completely ignoring the rain falling on him.

Dahlia stared at him confused. "Flazi, its Friday. That was three days ago."

Flazino stared back at Dahlia for a few seconds, then he let out a wheezing laugh as he slowly turned around and walked away. "What is my life?" He managed to say, still laughing. He really was in bad need of some sleep.

(This guy's mental health is at an all time low. Get him THERAPY. 😅)

The screen suddenly cuts to black, then slowly white sparkles appear over the black until its entirely covered in stars. An echoed voice says "Where am I? Star? Valentino?"

Asha looks down and see she's somehow floating in space, and her physical form has changed. She now appeared as a sketchy outline, with a purple glow.

She turned around and could suddenly see the bright sun, yet she didn't feel its heat. "Am I...." She couldn't even finish. Had Magnifico won?

Asha's thoughts were interrupted by a another outlined figure floating by. It resembled a large man, but without the details of his cloak or face aside from basic features.

Another figure passed Asha, this time a young woman. Soon, star people had appeared all around her, floating to and fro as they went around space. It was like Rush Hour in the stars!

"Are these all stars? Wow, Dad wasn't kidding when he said the stars were like us. That, or its all a dream." She looked around her in amazement. Then she realized one star in particular was missing.

Asha moved in one direction, trying to locate her friend. She knew to look for Earth since that was clearly his favorite. She quickly found her home planet and indeed found Star.

But...something wasn't right here. Star was the only one looking at Earth. All of these other star nomads, yet none of them joined him?His back was to her, but he could hear a longing sigh come from him as looked at the planet.

"Star?" Asha called to him. Her voice echoed in space, but he didn't react.

She floated over to him. "Are you here....all alone?" she asked as she put a hand on his shoulder. Right as his head moved to face her, the screen is suddenly black.

Asha eyes popped open and she shot up as if she awakened from a dream. It took her a moment to realize she was back on Earth in all its 2D glory. Somehow she had gotten onto a bare matress, which was strange considering she was just outside only a moment ago.

She looked around and was in an unfamiliar place. It looked like a small cottage that only one person lived in. There was a small table with a couple of chairs and some scattered items to make shift a living room. On one of the walls there was a picture of the Royal with several holes in it. Seemed to be leftover from playing a game of darts on it.

Whoever lived here didn't like the royals either, so it looks like not everyone in Rosas is fooled.

Asha's thoughts were interrupted by a small bleating sound. She looked down and saw Valentino trot to her and lick her hand. "Glad to see you're okay too, Val." She smiled in relief and pat his head. She then realized, "Where's Star?"

The goat trotted over to the other side of the room, where Star was leaning against it. He was still asleep even with Valentino nuzzling his hand to wake him. He looked worried about the star.

"Finally, you're awake." A new voice entered.

Asha quickly turned and saw Gabo just entering the place. He was holding a few apples in one of his arms. Valentino belated in joy and ran towards the boy, as he was eager to have some of the fruit.

"You again? Why did-no, how did we get here? Last thing I remember was leaving Rosas, and then...." She suddenly remembered: Both she and Star passed out after fighting Magnifico. Something in his magic must have made them weak and lose consciousness. But that doesn't explain how they were in this place.

"Oh, that." Gabo kneel down and gave the goat an apple, which he happily munched on. "I wanted to see where you were going with that elephant after you rightfully destroyed part of Rosas. But I saw you and that guy on the ground."

He grabbed a nearby chair and sat down. "I tried to wake you up, but you wouldn't budge, so I just took you back to my special home away from home till you woke up. Good thing too, there are tons guards looking for you now."

Asha sighed. She really didn't want to involve more people, but she was greatful for Gabo's help. Even if he was a little grumpy. "Thanks, you really didn't have to do that."

"I know, but I wanted to help a fellow rebel. I knew I wasn't the only one who didn't like those two!" Gabo laughed but then turned a bit concerned. "Oh and....I'm sorry about your funny looking friend there." He gestured to Star.

Asha didn't understand. "What do you mean?"

Gabo shrugged. "I couldn't hear a heartbeat from him when we got here, He's....gone."

The girl could feel her heart sink. Asha rushed over to Star and shook his shoulders. "Star! Star, please wake up! STAR!" Her voice grew louder as she became desperate.

After a few agonizing moments of silence...

The star woke up with a snort and look frightened. "WHAT? WHAT? WHAT DID I MISS? IS THE SKY FALLING?!" Star shouted as he looked around. He was confused like Asha on how they got inside.

Valentino bleated in joy as Gabo was scared to say the least. "He's not some undead skeleton soldier now is he?!" He used the chair he was sitting on as a shield for himself.

Star calmed down once he saw Asha's face. Her eyes were just beginning to well up with tears. "Oh hey, Asha! Wait, what happened with you? Are you hurt or-"

Asha hugged him tightly before he could finish. "Thank goodness you're all right." she sighed with relief in her voice. "I couldn't bare it if Magnifico got you too."

The star stopped when he heard those words. He could feel she meant every word, so he gently hugged her back and smiled.

Gabo slowly lowered his chair shield. Luckily the guy turned out to be normal despite his weird appearance. Then another thought popped into his head as he watched them. They seemed like they were more than just friends... Gabo quickly moved that thought away. He already had the sickening sight of the royals being all over each other, he didn't need to see another obnoxious couple.

"Anyways," he finally spoke up and the two separated. "Now that he's not a corpse. I gotta ask? Why are you two hear anyway? And I want the truth, cause if I sense your tricking me," he pulled out a small dagger from his belt. "You'll regret it."

Somehow Asha wasn't intimated by this guy. He seemed to be all bark and no bite. But she better humor him just in case. She wasn't sure how he was going to take this news...

Asha took a deep breath. "Fine. Last night, my saba told me he wants me to stop the royals as his last wish. I...didn't know how I was even going to do that, so I got desperate. I made a wish.... on a star for help."

Gabo scowled and folded his arms as he looked at Asha. "What are you, five?"

(Literally the only line I laughed at in the movie, not even joking)

Asha ignored the insult. "And...." She slowly gestured her hands towards her glowing friend. "Star answered."

"Hiiii!" Star grinned and waved at Gabo.

Gabo rubbed his temples to help process the information. "All right, so...you wished for a magical boyfriend to help you defeat the royals?"

"Yes. WAIT, NO-" Asha sputtered. "Why do people keep saying that?!"

(Cause its true, Asha)

"Okay, we're not in some fairytale with singing animals and pixie dust! We're in the real world, and stars don't just turn into...into people!"

Asha looked at Star. "I knew he wouldn't believe us."

Star hummed for a moment. "I'll just explain it the same way I did for you, Asha!" He jumped to his feet. "I don't have the forest animals with me as background singers, but I'll do my best!"

"Star, you don't have to-"

Star cleared his throat as the first notes of "I'm A Star" starts playing. 🎵"Have you ever wondered-"🎵

A record skip sound effect interrupts the music as Gabo puts a hand over Star's mouth. "No, no, no. I believe you, I don't need a musical number. You're glowing yellow, that's good enough." He seriously wasn't in the mood for that.

"Listen, Gabo, is it? We don't have a lot of time here. Star is helping me save Rosas because the royals are practically taking their lives. They're not going to stop until they have ultimate power, even if that means destroying Star for it."

For once, Gabo's scowl turned into a smile. "I knew it. I KNEW IT! Those two are evil!" He pumped a first in the air. "I called it! Especially when all those people went missing!"

Asha's ears perked up. "What do you mean missing people?"

Gabo grabbed Star and pulled the both them near his face and whispered. "For the past couple of weeks, I've been hearing about some people that've gone missing. Some from six years ago and a few more neighbors vanished from the kingdom. Mark my words, there’s trouble a-brewin’. They're keeping them in some secret dungeon cause king thinks they're traitors."

He pulled back. "They're not getting their hands on me though, especially that sleepyhead guard."

Asha immediately knew. "I'm not sure about the dungeon, but I was part of the group that disappeared six years ago. We need to stop them before they anymore lives. Can you help us?"

Gabo gave a nod. "You can count me. Now, I better make sure the coast is clear around the area. If we're gonna move in this city, I'll have to search the area where the guards are so were not followed."

He walked over to the front door as Asha asked him a question. "You're not going to sneak off and backstab us are you?" Asha eyed him suspiciously.

"I don't squeal, sister." As he opened the door to leave, he turned and looked at the pair. "Hey, just a heads up. Don't do anything weird while I'm gone, kay?"

Asha looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"You know...things people do sometimes when they're alone together. I really don't want to come back and you two are in the middle of something."

Asha's eyes widened as her cheeks slightly flushed. "WE DON'T DO THAT." She firmly stated.

Star didn't get it. "Do what? Did I miss something?"

"Just checking." With that he closed the door and headed out. The rain had eased up since this morning. As he adjusted his hat and turned the corner, a large sleepy figure peek out from the other side, keeping an eye on him.

Back inside, the trio had to brainstorm a new idea. "So, we got your saba's wish, so what now?" the star asked as he sat beside her on the mattress.

"We'll just have to think of a new plan to get the rest." Asha said as she grabbed her sketchbook from her satchel. "We've gotten closer then I could've imagined. Now we just-" Her eyes widened when she felt the pencil in her hand. "Oh no..."

Star looked worried. "What? What happened?"

Asha slowly pulled out the graphite pencil, which had been broken into small pieces after the brief fight with Magnifico. "Its destroyed." she finally said in disbelief.

Star looked at the broken object and didn't understand. "That's one of those drawing sticks? Can't you just get another one-"

"I can't get another one. Not like this one." Asha cut him off. "Its not like I can just focus on love and it fixes itself. This, along with my sketchbook were some of the last things my dad gave me before he died. Its all I have left of him..." She chocked up at the thought. Valentino trotted to her to comfort his friend.

Up until now, the star had never seen Asha like this. She usually was the grounded and more serious one of the two. He's seen her happy (which was his favorite), angry and even a bit snarky, but never filled with such sadness.

Star could actually feel that same sadness in his chest when he looked at her. It wasn't something he liked, neither for Asha or himself.

"Asha. Hold out your hand." He finally said.

Asha looked at Star with surprise. She had never heard him be serious. He was like a ball of energy most of the time. Nevertheless, she did as he asked.

Star gently put the pieces that fit together as best he could, then closed her hand, and put his hands on top of hers.

Star took a deep breath and used the same concentration he used on Sabino's wish. Soon his hands began to glow. Valentino took several backs, knowing by now how bizarre the star's magic could be.

Asha could feel Star's magic moving and shifting in her hand. It had such a warmth and kindness to it. After a few moments the glowing stops and the sparkles fade. Star took his hands away and Asha opened hers, revealing the pencil was once again in its original state.

"You...you fixed it?" Asha couldn't believe the sight.

"Whew! I'm glad that worked!" Star had returned with his familiar smile. "Go ahead, draw something!" he insisted.

Asha drew a quick sketch of Valentino. The pencil did work, but then the drawing blinked twice. The handdrawn Valentino moved around and hopped in joy.

"Wha-how-how did you do that?" Asha asked stunned.

"I just did what you said, focused on love! Since it means a lot to you, figured why not give it an extra magic touch?" Star winked. "Look at him go!"

Valentino tried to get a peek at the drawing by standing on his hind legs. He was a bit scared of seeing a copy of himself.

Asha and Star couldn't help but laugh at the drawing, as it chased around a small ball like a puppy.

Asha looked at Star, who was still amazed by the moving art. "Thank you, Star." she said softly.

"Hey, anything for you." Star replied, grinning.

The two of them looked at each other, fondly. For Asha, she began to feel something stirring within her. When she looked at Star she now saw someone she couldn't imagine her life without. And seeing his smile warmed her heart.

Wait, was she....falling in...? She shook her head to snap out of it, there was no way that was happening!

"Listen, I'm sorry about everything that's happened so far. I put both of us in danger. We're lucky we made it out alive."

Star scoffed as he crossed his legs. "Don't be, this is the most fun I've ever had! Even with some power hungry humans that want to drain me....I'm having a good time! Sure beats being back up there." He looked upwards at the ceiling, slightly relieved he wasn't looking at the night sky to remind him of his past.

Hearing that, Asha thought about her own home. Her mother and grandfather had no idea what was going on. "You know, I know you never mention a family, but I'm beginning to worry about mine."

"Not sure if you'd want to meet mine." Star shrugged as he pet Valentino's head. "I've got 5 brothers. My mom always had a hard time getting us just to stay in one place when we traveled. And Dad always told me," he pretended to have a deep voice." 'Don't just spend your life floating around space. Do something with your freedom!' That's all I CAN do, dad!" He exclaimed.

Asha snickered. "Your family sounds fun, actually. My mother helped keep us together after my father passed. And Sabino... is actually similar to you. He's got a lot of energy for someone in his eighty's."

Star whistled. "He sounds older than most of the stars in the sky! Was he there when the Earth started too?"

Asha burst out laughing. "Stop that, I'm serious!" She eventually composed herself again.

"Looking back, I wished I had gone and at least told them what I'm doing for the hamlet. I feel terrible about leaving him in the dark about this. I just hope I'm not putting them in danger." She looked down at her sketchbook, in which a page centered on her saba and mother.

Star looked at Aaha's eyes, which had a hint of sadness in them. He then had a playful smirk as he inched closer to Asha.

"I know what you need...." He spread his arms wide and suddenly turned into a bear. "Come on, bring it in!"

Asha had to hold back a laugh. "Star, no! Change back to Normal!"

"You definitely need an extra large hug after all you've been through. It always makes me feel better!" He pointed out as he got closer to her.

Asha took a few steps back. "Star, I'm serious! Change back before-" her words were cut off by Star pulling her into a bear hug and laughed.

A part of her wanted to enjoy this, but considering that they were fugitives on the run, they didn't have the time to goof off.

"Okay, we need to stop before someone sees us." She quickly tried to get out of his now large arms.

"Relax, no one's gonna see us. Just enjoy it!" Star assured her as he hugged her tighter.

At that moment, Gabo had burst through the door by accident. He intended to lose Simon in a different place, but he ended up leading him straight to the pair.

All four of them looked at each other in dead silence, until Gabo misread Star and Asha's bear hug.

"Look, I don't mind you two like to roleplay, but couldn't that wait till later?" Gabo avoided eye contact with them. He was actually considering being thrown in the dungeon might be better than seeing this.

"WHAT IN GRIMM'S NAME IS THAT?!" Simon exclaimed taking several steps back in fear.

"No no, its okay, I don't bite! I don't even look like this all the time!" Bear!Star tried to explain.

"You are so not helping, Star!" Asha hurried herself out of his furry arms. "First off Gabo, its not what it looks like at all. And second, who is that?" she gestured to the scared teen, who's back was against the wall, petrified.

"I didn't want to bring him here! This guy chased me nearly all over Rosas and I ended up coming back here." Gabo threw his hands up. "The one time he's actually awake..."

Meanwhile, Simon slowly inched his away from the conversation, trying to make a silent escape. "I have to warn the king..." his voice shaked as he briefly looked at Bear!Star.

Right before he could fully escape, Asha had grabbed him by the collar. "Oh no, you don't! You're not blowing our cover, get in here." with that she pulled him inside and slammed the door.

Simon was still slightly panicking, but tried to be brave. "All right, you got me. What do you plan on doing to me? Sic your demon bear or goat on me?"

"BAAAAAHH!" Valentino said in shock and turned his nose up at him.

"Valentino said he's a vegetarian." Bear!Star translated. "And I'm not a bear. At least not all the time." A yellow flash of light appeared and Star returned to his human form. "See, perfectly normal!"

The poor teen's mind could barely process all this.

"Yes, a glowing human is perfectly normal." Asha sighed. Then she turned her attention to Simon. "Look, we're not going to hurt you, but you can't tell the king and queen, period."

"Or else we'll gut you like a fish." Gabo pointed out, half jokingly.

"What did I just say, Gabo?" Asha hissed at him.

"Wait a minute, I get it now. You're the traitor with that giant elephant that wrecked Rosas!" Simon's fear began to shrink and grew to anger. "I should've known you'd be working for him." He pointed and accusing finger at the small teen.

"You've been a pain in the neck all this time, and you're now trying to kill the king and queen I'm not letting that happen!"

"Us?! They're the ones trying to kill us!" Asha retorted. "They're not exactly the benevolent rulers you think they are!"

"Which I've been saying for months now!" Gabo added, still proud his theory was true.

Simon scoffed. "Of course you'd say that. I'm not falling for any of this. You're all coming with me to pay for your crimes."

Gabo pulled out his dagger. "Go ahead, sleepyhead! We're not afraid of you!"

"For the last time, put that thing back where it came from or so help me!" Asha had to pull Gabo back before he committed and actual crime.

"Guys! Wait!" Star flew over them, trying to break the (almost) fight. "Asha, let me try something here. Maybe he can help us!"

"Why would I help a bunch of criminals?"

"Says the guy who's working for criminals!"

Asha put a hand over Gabo's mouth to shut him up. "Maybe he's right. The more I'm thinking about this, the more I'm realizing this is even bigger than Star and I-and you-can handle."

Gabo removed her hand. "And you want him to help?"

Simon attempted to back away again, but Star floated down to him.

"Go ahead, Star. Do it." She said as she kept her guard up, while Gabo kept his dagger up.

Star nodded and turned to Simon.

"Look, I don't know you, like at all, but I can tell you're missing something. In your heart." Star slowly placed a hand on Simon's chest. He could feel as if the sleepy teen had a hole in his heart.

(artwork from animatic by @BlackLeah on YouTube)

Simon tensed up believing he was about to be cursed, but his body relaxed when he could feel Star's magic. It warmed a part of him that had been affected my Magnifico. It was temporary, but it felt nice.

"Simon, didn't you have a wish too?" Asha asked.

The teen hesitated at first, but took a deep breath. "I wanted to be a knight ever since I was a kid. I've been training with my dad ever since I gave my wish to the king. But....lately I've been feeling like its pointless. I was hoping if I could prove myself, Magnifico would make an exception and grant it early."

His eyes widened with hope. "Hey, can you grant wishes too?"

Star shrugged. "Ehhhhh....not exactly like that guy. I'm still working on granting Asha's."

"Oh." Simon replied deflated.

"Magnifico never planned on doing that. He lied to my entire family and never granted their wishes. They're the reason we and other people escaped from him. They could kill them the same way they killed my father." Asha's voice grew cold as the memory haunted her.

The two boys' eyes widened as she finished. Not even Star was prepared for something that tragic.

"So please. Can you help us stop them before they destroy any more lives?"

Simon sat down in a chair for a few moments, his mind focused on his decision.

The others waited patiently. Valentino was a little restless though.

After a few moments, Gabo walked over to him. "You didn't fall asleep with your eyes open did you? Cause that would be a new one." Gabo asked as he waved a hand over Simon's eyes.

Simon grabbed his wrist to make him stop, and he slowly looked at the three of them. "What do you need me to do?"

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

FINAL THOUGHTS

So now we've started assembling the teens! Two down, five to go:

I got the idea to slowly add each teen instead of all at once cause I think its just way easier to write them like that. (Wait till you see Dario and Hal's reactions....) The movie would've benefited from taking the time to show them have personalities rather than just relying on the dwarves references. Plus in just a few more chapters we'll be getting to "Knowing What I Know Now" and our villain song! That's right, I'm adding a villain song to my rewrite! I did use the instrumentals to "TITTIG" back when the royals had their commercial, so I'll be using the TRUE villain song created by Milkymelodies. Just take out the speaking part before the song starts and there's literally nothing else to edit.

Plus, now we've gone from sprinkling some Starsha to just serving plates of it. There's lots more coming by the time we get to "At All Costs" so strap in! And now you have the full context of that certain scene I showed you guys. I was just messing with you, they're still wholesome! 😂

Writing Gabo and Simon, I wanted to expand the personalities more here. The rest will get the same treatment. Gabo's a grump because he hates living in a place where the rulers are basically taking advantage of people and practically a crime family. So there's the angry part. And Simon's sleepy because not only has his wish being taken affected his energy, he's also struggling to keep up with his training and both are taking a toll on him. That won't stop him from trying to become a knight, though. Dario is actually going to be the easiest to join, if you can believe it. 😂

Also Flazino is gonna be in absolute pain soon since that deleted scene will be featured soon , so look forward to that. This poor guy's on his last shred of sanity, but Asha's gonna save him, don't worry. (There's your angst and loads of it!)

Once again it'll be a delay before the next chapter, but I would like to drop some fun facts and explain more of the magic of this rewrite later on, since we're getting to the halfway point of the story, and it hints at the Star vs Magnifico battle. Trust me, the final battle is going to even bigger than your standard Disney ending. It'll be along the lines of battling Scar, Maleficent and Jafar. And I'll work in the "This Wish" reprise, just not the way it normally goes in other takes.

Thanks for Reading!

Okay, I'm gonna reference this scene in "Wish Granted", but with Dahlia and Flazino. There's only one problem...its not for another five chapters and I really want to do it badly now. AND I CAN'T DRAW RIGHT NOW, SON OF A-😭

A lot of the cool stuff I have in my head is coming, but its not until all the teens assemble. ITS AGONIZING. Chapter 7 was only a taste of that!

Like, the line delivery? The softness? The expressions?? Its exactly how I imagine their interaction after the gang rescues him. Plus I just realized I accidentally made Flazino look like a younger version of Phobeus by accident. No wonder people are simping for him. 😂

I swear these two are growing on me now-

(Also, yeah this is the design of Dahlia I'm going with for my AU. I don't know, there's something cool about it to me and I can't explain it. Its either the addition of the gloves, or that its a closer callback to Doc.)

Wish Granted 🌟👩🏾🎶 (Wish Reimagined)

Chapter 1: Once Upon A Time...

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

We open up our story with the Disney 100th anniversary logo:

Then it transitions to the Walt Disney Productions title with the overture from Snow White playing, followed by the casts of the story and the people who worked together to create it. The next shot brings us a message from Walt himself, leftover from his very first movie.

(They had the AUDACITY to leave that out!? Shows how grateful they are...)

It fades to black and shows the camera panning over to a fancy 3D storybook with the title "Wish Granted" on the cover, and it slowly opens up, turning to the first couple of pages.

The narration begins with a young woman's voice reading in a calm, yet cheerful voice.

Once upon a time, in a land…pretty far away, there was a kingdom off the coast of the Iberian Peninsula. A Kingdom full of magic, dreams and wonder, Rosas.

The book then turns a page to show two pictures, one portraying a man, a woman and a lynx. The other showing a large kingdom near the sea.

In this kingdom ruled by King Magnifico and Queen Amaya, Rosas is a safe place for people all over the world. No matter where a person is from, they will have a safe and happy life. However.....

The book flips to the next page, showing Magnifico taking a wish from a citizen. On the first page, the woman his happily giving it to him, but on the second, she looks incredibly sad, gently clutching her chest with sorrow.

When you arrive, you must give your greatest wish to the king in exchange to live there. The cost of it leaves with you with an empty feeling inside, never being able to fill the hole in your heart until the king grants it himself.

The book flips to another page showing a girl in purple, a yellow glowing person, their pet goat looking upwards and the shadowy figure of the royals holding the wishes in their hands.

This is a story about a girl, a star, a goat, a kingdom and a wish. This is a story about how anyone can make their wishes come true....

The camera then zooms in on the next page, transitions into 2D as it goes directly into the storybook.

We see few boats crossing the sea, making their way towards Rosas. A little redheaded girl is taking a look at the approaching kingdom. "Look, mommy! Is that it? Is that our new home?" she asked enthusiastically, pointing ahead. Her mother joined her and nodded as a smile crept across her face. "Yes, dear. That's Rosas." she said with hope in her eyes as they approach the new land.

Speaking of the new land, one of the citizens is seen at the port. A teen boy with collar length blonde hair, was waiting to greet them. The biggest thing that stood out to him was the red tunic and yellow scarf around his neck. The boy was waving a flag with the symbol of Ross' embroided on it, signaling them to the port.

The teen took a deep breath and started pacing back and forth, talking to himself. "All right, Flazino. You can do this. You've done this dozens of times. Just pretend you're not sending them to their possible suffering....I've got a bad feeling about it."

Flazino heard the people approaching and quickly slapped on a smile. He spun around and greeted the newcomers with open arms.

"Haha! Hola, Shalom, Salam! Welcome to your new home! You're going to love it here, especially our magnificent rulers! Everyone ready?"

The travelers cheer in agreement and follow the boy through the gates of the kingdom.

🎵 Welcome to Rosas 🎵🌹

Flazino

Magnifico

Amaya

Group singing

Oh, Welcome to Rosas, an amazing kingdom. Where the possibilities are more than you can fathom!

(Flazino signals for the crowd to follow him as they pass through the gates)

There's no other place just as full of surprise, Where your dreams and your reality can collide!

(He passes by a man who's juggling 10 balls at once, hinting that his wish was to be the best juggler in the kingdom)

The most magical place on Earth, where most wondrous ideas give birth! You want to make dreams your come true? Well, have I got good news for you!

(He gives a wink and other residents start appear around him for the chorus)

(The background characters- I mean the Rosas citizens who haven't had their life force drained yet start to dance)

'Cause here in the city of Rosas (Oh, ah-ah)

You can turn all your wanting to wishing No what-ifs, ands or buts Oh, here in the city of Rosas (Oh, ah-ah) It's unlikely that you’ll be unhappy No need to make a fuss

(Flazino lifts the little girl onto his shoulders as they continue) A home for me (Me) For you (You) And all of us (Us) Thе city of Rosas

(He leads the group over to a small theater showing little muppets of Magnifico and Amaya. The following moments and dancing scenes are also a reference to the "Topsy Turvy" song number from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Love that movie)

So like, we have this king named Magnifico

(He points to muppet versions of the royals, with the Magnifico one holding his scepter high)

He built Rosas many years ago

(the background has a little cardboard replica of the kingdom rising behind it.)

With lightning for hands and eyes that can glow

(He raises his hands creepily and jokingly to the child, but she gasps in fear)

No, no, no, I'm just kidding! But he is powerful! They're just like us with a twist.

(He ruffles her hair playfully)

So much power, too much to list! (Oh, wow!) The magic exists, And there you have it, poof, there's your wish! Oh and, hey did I mention when you turn eighteen? You get to give your wish in a ceremony And he keeps them safe, every wish he acquires (Wish he acquires) And once a month he grants someone’s greatest desire (Greatest desire)

(The puppets show the King taking a tiny blue orb from a puppet citizen, then it dances around as if it just won a million dollars)

It could be you someday, or you, even you! Oh, I can't wait! (He points to three different people on each "you", with a couple them looking doubtful)

(A man asks) Does it hurt? (the girls asks) Do you cry?

(Before Flazino can reply, Magnifico just pops in in front of him, the boy giving a look that says "Where the he'll did you come from!?") Oh, no, and you won't even miss it when you say "goodbye"

(He holds the note on "bye" to show off his singing, while Flazino rolls his eyes in annoyance)

(Then Amaya jumps in to take over part of the final chorus) 'Cause here in the city of Rosas (Oh, ah-ah) You can turn all your wanting to wishing

No what-ifs ands or buts,

Oh, here in the city of Rosas (Oh, ah-ah) It's unlikely that you’ll be unhappy

No need to make a fuss

(The royals take this chours proudly singing, while Sabor stands with a sly smile as he basks in all the attention they're getting. Flazino is visually annoyed and rolls his eyes. He then tries to look for an opening so he can finish the song)

A home for me (Me)

For you (You)

And all of us (Us)

The city of Rosas

(Flazino quickly steps in front of the royals during "And all of us" to try and finish the song, then Magnifico steps in front of him and blocks him with his cape. During the final line, He then raises his hands to the sky and releases an explosion of fireworks and it decorates the area in magical sparkles)

As sparkles and rose petals shower the audience, applause echoes throughout the stadium. The newcomers were chatting and cheering amongst each other. Flazino was used to this part, its practically pure dopamine when people first arrive and hear one man can grant people's desires. This whole song their idea in the first place, and he's performed it a hundred times. You'd think they at least let him sing the propaganda song!

"I can't wait to get my wish granted now!"

"There's so much I want to ask for!"

"They're such a beautiful couple!"

The little redhead girl from earlier was especially excited. "I'm gonna wish for something real big when I grow up! I want to bring everyone I can here so they can be happy like us!" She giggled and continued to clap her hands.

Flazino's smile faded hearing this. This kid was going to grow up and loose her happiness in the blink of an eye.

Magnifico could see the boy's expression change and cleared his throat. "Well now, I suppose that's enough excitement for you today. We've made good work making our new friends feel welcome." He said sternly.

The boy quickly changed his demeanor. "O-oh. T-thank you, your high-"

He was interrupted by the sudden appearance of a lynx inches away from his face. The feline had a rather angry look on his face. Though he's usually like that when he's has to deal with anyone but his beloved owner. He was being carried by his arms by the Queen.

"Now that all that noise is finished. "You can make yourself useful by giving Sabor here his breakfast." She demanded. "Poor dear must be starving. Aren't you?" she cooed.

Sabor purred....and licked his mouth as he looked Flazino as if he was the breakfast himself. That's definitely not a good sign.

"Uh....yeah, I'll get right on that." The boy responded as he gingerly picked up the lynx and did his best to carry him in his arms. He was only a couple years old, but he weighed as much as a full grown goat. That or the boy wasn't all that strong. "How much do you eat anyway?" Sabor grunted in offense.

"That's a good apprentice! Run along, now!" Magnifico slightly mocked the boy as he left. In a low voice he mumbled. "Peasant boy."

Flazino stopped walking for a moment and looked behind him. He saw the two royals eating up the praise and attention they were getting from the people. The newcomers were enamored with them while the longtime citizens gently clapped, but not nearly as enthusiastically. In fact, they seemed a little sleepy, some with half lidded eyelids.

The boy felt a sharp pain on his shoulder, which made him come back to his senses. Sabor had scratched his shoulder to remind him of his obviously more important meal. (Can you say "spoiled"?)

"Yeah, yeah, I get it. I'll get Dhalia to make your breakfast." He mumbled as he walked down from the stage and away from the crowd.

We crossfade to outside of the Kingdom, as hours pass and day turns to night. Its been a long, stressful day for Flazino, especially when most of tasks were just basic chores, going on errands and maybe learn some magic from Magnifico, if he decided he was ready. Its all become the norm. But there was one thing he was able to do without the watchful eye of the king.

"About that time of month again?" asked a girl as she brought Flazino a horse. The sorcerers' apprentice gathered his bags for his trip and gave the girl a nod. "You got it, Bazeema. Those mushrooms take a whole month to grow, and you know much the king loves those." He gently patted the horse on the snout then proceed to mount it. He pulled up the hood over to seemingly cover his head from the chill air.

"Would you mind finding some herbs while you're there? Just a few things like parsley, rosemary and thyme." she asked softly.

"Sure thing." the boy said with a smile. He signed the horse to start walking towards the gate.

"Are you sure those bag aren't too heavy for you?" Bazeema asked, looking worried about the weight it could put both his back and the horse's.

Flazino waved a hand as he continued forward, not looking back. "No need to worry, I'm not helpless." he called to her, with a laugh.

He quietly passed through the gates. Looking in all directions to make sure no one else was nearby. Once the coast was clear. The boy said in a low voice, "I'm far from helpless." He tightened the reins and made the horse transition from a gallop to a run.

The horse reacted and took off at a great speed. Flazino traveled further and further forward until Ross was no longer visible. He traveled for about an hour, passing a giant obnoxious sign of the smug king pointing to the kingdom with a sign that read: "To Rosas: Where all your wishes will come true".

The trees became a blur as he ran through the forest like a ghost. He finally reached the deepest part of the woods, were many branches of trees overlapped each other, as if blocking something from entering.

Flazino reached into one of his bags and pulled out a small green vial, that glowed brightly in his hands. He uncorked the vial and whispered to it in latin: "Ineo."

He threw the liquid at the branch's and waited. The branches started to shake, startling the horse. Flazino patted him on the head. "Easy, Achilles. Nothing to be scared off." ,he comforted the animal. Magnifico may not have taught him much magic like he wished for, but the boy watched and learned whenever the King performed his spells. It payed off rather well for him.

The branches slowly opened up, revealing an entrance to a hidden village within the forest itself.

The trees closed off the entrance behind him as Flazino slowly entered the safe haven for those who fled from the Royal's tyranny. This was the Hamlet.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

OH MY GOD, ITS FINALLY DONE! CHAPTER 1 IS HERE AND DONE! AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Would you believe that this took over a week to do this? This wasn't meant to be that long, but the way I write, everything plays out like a movie, so that's why its a bit longer. 😅 I also chose this way to start it because a majority of rewrites usually start with Asha in some way, so I wanted to do a bit of a twist and start it off through Flazino instead and then lead to Asha.

Another fun thing is that while I haven't read all the rewrites out there (I don't have all that time, unfortunately), but I rarely see Flazino used, if at all. So it was like I was given a clean slate to work with. Plus some people figured out he was helping the Hamlet in the deleted scenes and was the original Sorcerers' Apprentice, which gave me inspiration for this. He's like a double agent in this telling, and he'll be important to the story later on. The design I had in mind for him was a reference to Arthur from The Sword in the Stone, with a bit of Jim Lake from Troll hunters mixed in. Sooooo imagine he's voiced by Josh Keaton, he's a good VA for these types of roles (As you can tell, I may have gotten attached to this guy, lol 😅) So he'll be getting his own bio later on.

And how about those royals, huh? THEY ARE TOTAL GLORY HOGS! 😂 They're incredibly narcissistic in this version, but most people see it as charming and don't catch on. Plus I wanted them to have have the classic Disney broadway sequence during the song, cause I think the movie would've benefited from it. (Flazino is more like a jester to them than an apprentice, hence the Clopin reference.) They put on smiles, act nice and give you the Hollywood treatment, but its all just to get those wishes. There is no redeeming them here, they're villains. Straight up.

Also, BIG thank you to @signed-sapphire for helping me with rewriting the Rosas song too! They gave me a great guide to making new lyrics and it really worked out! And for everyone who took the time to read to this point! You earned a big hug! 😊

It'll be a while before chapter 2, cause I want to finish Kingdom of Wishes first,in case I get more ideas. But for now, feel free to ask any questions on my rewrite and leave as many comments as you want!

Thanks for reading!

Wish Granted Ship Dynamics 💛💜

The DTIYS challenge is nearly done being made, but in the meantime, I thought it would be fun to share the shipping dynamics for the story currently (and possibly after)

Star x Asha (Starstruck)

This is actually one of my favorite kinds of dynamics in any media. Someone full of joy and comedy bringing some fun into another person's life and they become better for it is such a wonderful thing. In this case Star bring the joy to Asha that she's been missing for most of her life. And more he shows his kindness, the more she's falling in love with him.

Star takes a little while to realize what he's feeling for her is love, so his gestures to her go from regular kindness to romantic throughout the story. One thing that he does is kiss Asha's hand to comfort her when she starts to worry. Its actually a celestial based custom one does to calm someone down, but after he finds out its a romantic gesture for humans, he starts to fluster after he does it. (She finds it cute anyway)

He can tell when she's in danger or stressed and Asha can feel the same for Star, even when they're far apart. They can literally feel each other. They just want to keep each other safe in their arms. Could it be because she called him down and they're connected from that? 😉

(During Story)

At first Asha can get annoyed with Star's constant optimism and silliness instead of taking the mission seriously, but the more she's around him, she starts to soften and open up to him later in story about what happened to her father and saba. Not to mention she won't admit she finds him charming sometimes.

Also, Asha starts finding more things she likes about Star. Besides his optimism, he's also eager to help everyone just like she is. He's got a kind and cute smile, his sense of humor is infectious, he has a cute smile, he's a sweet guy, he also can be serious if someone is in danger and its kind of attractive, and why does she keep thinking about his smile? So when the uh.....ending arrives, the thought of never seeing him again breaks her heart.

(Post-Story)

One idea I had in mind after they (possibly) get together is that they go from an awkward pinning phase to being ridiculously lovey-dovey. If you thought Magnifico and Amaya were ridiculous, Asha and Star are just as bad. Minus the stealing wishes thing of course. 😂 Star always show affection and isn't completely shy about it, but after Asha finally opens up and becomes more like herself, the two of them adore each other and are so affectionate it actually starts annoying some of the teens later. Dhalia, Dario, Hal, Bazeema, and Safi are pretty okay with it. Most of them could see the two of them liked each other already. Simon is...indifferent about it for some reason. Gabo is secretly happy for them but he can do without the constant PDA when they get carried away.

Star: "You'll always be my princess." 💛

Asha: "And you'll always be my prince." 💜

Gabo: "And I didn't help take down the monarchy so you two could make just make goo-goo eyes at each other. Get a room." 😕

2. Bazeema x Safi (The background ship)

I'll keep this part brief since they're actually more of a background thing. Not that there's a problem with it, I just want to make sure that the main story is still being told. It's more of a sweet background ship that you enjoy seeing unfold when there's breaks for the cast. These two are more like two quiet mice with a shared fondness for nature.

They actually know each other from afar, since they both grew up in Rosas. But they never spoke to each other until years later cause they were too shy to talk. Yes, I'm serious, its the worst case of "JUST SAY SOMETHING" ever. 😂 When they get thrown together because of becoming "accomplices" to Star and Asha, that's when they finally get over their shyness. Bazeema sort of speaks like Fluttershy and disappears suddenly, while Safi barely speaks at all. Yeah, he doesn't have a ton of lines, but I swear its not anything against him. (Except for that Chicken obsession, is he just Gonzo?) I think it fits better and its s better not to his Dwarf counterpart. Plus he'll only say things that are important in some way.

They're just really sweet to see together, really!

3. Dhalia x Flazino (Would you believe they got shipped by accident?)

So I already established that Asha and Flazino are friends only. Since there are some Wish viewers that stated they want to see a male-female friendship without going romantic, so I did that here, they're platonic only. Can't say the same for him and Dhalia though, lol. She's pretty chipper while Flazino wants to burn the place to the ground.

The two of them start out as work friends who only saw each other when Sabor needed his food. Flazino would talk about how stressful being an apprentice is (minus telling about the Hamlet) while Dahlia would tell him the mishaps of her day. They're just really relaxed with each other. At first its just to vent a little once in a while. But then Flaz started showing up to the kitchen on breaks, Dhalia started to bring him extra meals when it looked like he needed the extra energy, the two of them would talk about things more personal for hours..... they're dating and they just don't realize it. 😂

Then there's Dahlia fangirling over Magnifico. She admires his confidence, skills with magic, charisma and his loyalty to his citizens needs. Flazino has only one of those things and it destroys a part of himself that she likes the worst boss on Earth. She'll come to her senses, don't worry. 😅

4. Magnifico and Amaya

THEM:

Basically: Team Rocket in public, Hades and Maleficent in private. I liked the idea the art book had of the citizens not knowing they were evil, so I figured they'd have a personality that was friendly and inviting (like how TR puts on acts as charming hosts) to the public. But when they're alone they have a more sinister/spicier side to them and Sabor wants to barf. 😂

While they may have their little differences, the one thing they have in common is wanting absolute power, no matter the cost. They've worked together for years making their magic stronger that they know each other inside and out. So when they go against the heroes, they sort of mock their relationship. Kind of like they're saying their own love is stronger than two teenagers who don't know anything. Stating that there's no way the two of them could love each other after such a short amount of time together. (Its also a shot at the "falling in love in 3 days" trope Disney used to do.)

Given where the Disney villain couple theme comes in, they heavily mock Star and saying its pointless to love a human who can't love him back. And on Asha's end its basically telling her she just calling on Star by accident as if to give a reason the two of them couldn't work and it kind of makes Star question himself and his purpose, same goes for Asha. Yeah, they're just assholes, even towards other couples. 😂

"You're lucky. That arrow almost pierced your heart."

"I'm not so sure it didn't..."

Been wanting to do this piece for a while! This is actually a scene that's coming later in the story. It would be a little before "Knowing What We Know Now" after he gets rescued. The callback to The Hunchback of Notre Dame has been living in my head for free and I don't even charge it rent! I HAD to put it in my rewrite! 😆 If you had told me I was going to get attached to a ship I made that was supposed to be a minor thing, I would think it untrue.

(Fun fact, this was originally another drawing challenge, but I changed my mind we're all way too busy, lol)

Next up are the redesigns of Magnifico and Amaya, and that's been coming for a while! 😉
