[Faheem](D45WYSCQ) stepped out to recess, clutching the tiny stars in his pocket like a secret. He looked around at the playground: kids were laughing, playing tag, and riding the swings. But one girl, [Hana](TLTF3P9Q), sat alone on the bench, drawing circles in the dirt with her shoe.

The stars in [Faheem](D45WYSCQ)’s pocket wiggled, as if saying, 'Go!' He walked over and smiled brightly. 'Hi. I’m [Faheem](D45WYSCQ). What’s your name?' [Hana](TLTF3P9Q) looked up shyly but managed a small smile. 'Um, [Hana](TLTF3P9Q).'

'Want to play spaceship tag?' [Faheem](D45WYSCQ) asked. 'I’m Captain Zoom, and I travel the galaxies!' [Hana](TLTF3P9Q) hesitated but then said softly, 'Okay... but only if I can be Captain Sparkle!' She giggled, and [Faheem](D45WYSCQ) grinned back.

The two zoomed across the playground, pretending to dodge space rocks and alien invaders. 'Incoming asteroid! Quick, zig-zag!' [Faheem](D45WYSCQ) shouted, leading the way. [Hana](TLTF3P9Q) laughed as she followed, now glowing with excitement.

Other kids noticed their game and joined in. Soon, the playground was full of laughter and imaginary space adventures. [Hana](TLTF3P9Q)’s smile grew bigger each time someone laughed at her funny space moves.

When the bell rang, signaling the end of recess, [Hana](TLTF3P9Q) and [Faheem](D45WYSCQ) high-fived. 'You’re a great Captain Sparkle,' [Faheem](D45WYSCQ) said. [Hana](TLTF3P9Q) grinned. 'And you’re an awesome Captain Zoom!'

As [Faheem](D45WYSCQ) walked back to class, he noticed the stars in his pocket felt even fuller, almost glowing. It was funny because he had just given so much kindness away.

That afternoon, the teacher asked them to draw their favorite moment of the day. [Hana](TLTF3P9Q)’s picture showed a spaceship labeled 'Zoom & Sparkle' flying among rainbows and shooting stars. [Faheem](D45WYSCQ)’s picture? A group of friends laughing together under a galaxy of stars.
