One morning, [Sam](CJBLBZN4) woke up and noticed something strange about their favorite teddy bear, [Stardust](6ZZDGK7Q). [Stardust](6ZZDGK7Q)’s fur wasn’t the same—it was dusty and sparkling, as if he’d rolled through the stars!

Next to [Stardust](6ZZDGK7Q), [Sam](CJBLBZN4) found a folded piece of paper covered with glowing blue lines that looked like a star map. A faint cookie crumb trail led to [Sam](CJBLBZN4)’s desk…

[Sam](CJBLBZN4) gasped, ‘[Stardust](6ZZDGK7Q)! Did you go to space last night?’ For a moment, the teddy’s button eyes seemed to sparkle brighter, almost like he was smiling. [Sam](CJBLBZN4) knew there was a story to uncover.

Suddenly, from under the bed, a scrappy little alien climbed out! It had one big eye and a shiny purple spacesuit. It waved excitedly and squeaked, ‘Thank you for lending [Stardust](6ZZDGK7Q). Best co-pilot in the galaxy!’

‘[Stardust](6ZZDGK7Q) piloted a rocket to help me deliver moon muffins to spacefolk,’ explained the alien. ‘We had quite an adventure in Nebula City!’

The alien handed [Sam](CJBLBZN4) a tiny jar of star sprinkles as a thank-you present. They shimmered like rainbows in the sun. ‘Use these wisely—only in extraordinary moments,’ they said.

Then, just as quickly, the alien climbed back under the bed with a cheerful ‘[Zorp](JSL575PJ)-zorp!’ And [Sam](CJBLBZN4) realized the starry trail was slowly fading away from [Stardust](6ZZDGK7Q)’s fur.

A little sad, [Sam](CJBLBZN4) whispered, ‘Will [Stardust](6ZZDGK7Q) go on another adventure tonight?’ But the teddy bear just smiled with its button eyes, a quiet promise in its soft, fuzzy face.

That night, [Sam](CJBLBZN4) set the star sprinkles on their bedside table. As they drifted to sleep, [Sam](CJBLBZN4) dreamed of [Stardust](6ZZDGK7Q) piloting rockets and zipping through constellations again.

Whatever happened, [Sam](CJBLBZN4) was sure of one thing—[Stardust](6ZZDGK7Q) was the bravest, most magical teddy in the universe.
