"Good morning Twilight!" Star said still sitting in his bed. "You look peaceful when you sleep. All relaxed, and tranquil, its quite pleasant....Spike on the other hand had a panic attack when he woke up last night."

"Well I almost had a panic attack when I saw you, for a twelve year old, Spike still has the childish aspect I still love." I said getting out of my bed, and making my way to my dresser where by brush lay. "How was your night?"

"Sad...Although its bad news for me, but good news for you."

"Oh? What would that be....if I may ask?"

"It seems your magic has brought be down here longer then my brother and sisters expected. They told me it would be at least six months, maybe longer. It all depends really, if you give up the hold you have on me, or not."

"I don't think I know how? Well, yet anyways." I said as I finished up, and turning towards Star. It was brighter now so I got a better look at his physical features.

He was a multi-toned grayish white, with mane that shifted in between two different colors, black then white, but it still had a streak of red running through the center of his mane. His body was shifting as well, probably because he wasn't quite done reshaping.

"I have yet to know why you stair at me Twilight Sparkle."

I blushed as I reentered Equestria after focusing on his physical form. "Oh...I'm just looking on how your mane changes colors." I answered, and deep down I knew it was a lie. He looked really cute seeing his body shape, and how nice his voice was. Soothing and low as if he was always humming. "C-can I feel your mane?"

"Be my guest!" He answered.

I brushed my hoof in his mane, and saw a glimpse of the night sky as I closed my eye. I saw figures made of pure light look at me, some angry, some sad. "T-they're...mad..Why?"

"I was kept the wishes of all the ponies, and other races in this quadrant of the Hoofy Way." He said. "That reminds me, you never wished upon a star in your life."

"I thought of it as a myth, or folk lore for ponies to get their ways by making 'hopeful' wishes." I said. "But are wishes granted?"

"To those whom ask for something that they deeply need." He said as I finished brushing my hoof through his shifting mane. "You have wishes of three."

"Why only three?"

"That's all you'll need Twilight." He said with a smile. "You'll know what to wish when the time comes. but be sure to ask all three before I need to leave."

"O-okay...hmmm...."

"Don't think too deeply, because I think I smell smoke of the gears turning to much!"  Star laughed.

"I wish.....I wish....I had a celestial body to move!"

"Granted!"

"What is the celestial body?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't know...tell me."

"You're looking at it right now, if that's a hint Twilight."

My jaw dropped in shock. He allowed me to control him! Just like that?! "No way!"

"Oh way indeed Ms. Sparkle!" He said standing up. "Look at into my eyes, and see what you control."

He opened his eyes slowly, as light faded the more his eyes opened. I looked into them, and saw a deep red star at least three million times the size of Celestia's sun. Although that wasn't all I saw, I saw a being standing on two legs, in a upright fashion. It looked at me with a slight smile, although a tear was going down his face. He opened his mouth, and I heard the same low tone in his voice, in a long drawn out song that seemed to be endless.

"What's that noise?" I asked.

"All stars aren't silent as you think. We make low songs, that get lower slightly every year we are alive, until we die."

"T-that's sad...Why don't stars leave the sky?"

"Its a long story Twilight, but to sum it up...we did something unforgivable."

"What did you do?"

"We threatened the gods, of dark and light." He said. "We said if we didn't get to live for a long time...we would take away the light from the universe. We got our wish....but we were banished to the skys for an eternity."

"Why did you want to live longer?"

"Because....we wanted long lives so we could gain knowledge, but the gods thought of it as a threat."

"So knowledge really is power?"

"Exactly Twilight..."

"Why do you want to go back up?" I asked. "I mean if you were banished, take this as a way to get out of jail free!"

He backed away, and closed his eyes as a tear flowed down his face. "They're my family, and space is my home." Star said. "Have you ever been forced to leave your family?" He asked. "Have you ever felt the pain of being away from the place you hold most?"

"My family has never been stripped away, and I have felt the pain....of leaving your home behind. Often when I sleep....I dream of when I was just a little filly."

Star stood up, and his head almost touched the roof of the room. "I would like to see the place you call home Twilight."

"Y-your....tall." I said as I got a good glimpse of his 'undercarriage'. I turned away blushing. "C-come on...!" I barely managed to say. Next Chapter: Pressing Matters[Part:1/2] Estimated time remaining: 7 Minutes
