[Maya](SXVNL36M) loved looking at the night sky from her bedroom window. Every evening, she'd count the stars and make wishes. But tonight, a streak of light zoomed across the sky, heading straight for her backyard.

[Maya](SXVNL36M) grabbed her flashlight and went outside. To her amazement, a glowing object lay in her mom's flower garden. A tiny, musical voice whispered, 'Oh my! Where am I?'

The glowing object was a living star! It introduced itself as [Stella](YN2D9MN2) and explained it had fallen from the sky. 'Can you help me get back to my family before sunrise?' asked [Stella](YN2D9MN2).

[Maya](SXVNL36M) suggested climbing her backyard's tallest oak tree to help [Stella](YN2D9MN2). [Maya](SXVNL36M) carried the glowing star carefully, feeling its warmth like sunshine as they climbed together.

'It's not high enough,' sighed [Stella](YN2D9MN2). 'I feel so weak without the moon's energy.' [Maya](SXVNL36M) encouraged her, saying they needed to remember how [Stella](YN2D9MN2) used to fly.

[Maya](SXVNL36M) helped [Stella](YN2D9MN2) practice flying again. They tried feeling the wind and jumping from small rocks. Slowly, [Stella](YN2D9MN2) began to hover and glow brightly again!

Storm clouds rolled in, but [Maya](SXVNL36M) had an idea. Using a compass and her star map, she guided [Stella](YN2D9MN2) through the storm to find her way home.

With her courage renewed, [Stella](YN2D9MN2) followed the map and flew higher under [Maya](SXVNL36M)'s guidance. The storm cleared as she found her family of stars waiting for her.

Before leaving, [Stella](YN2D9MN2) gifted [Maya](SXVNL36M) a magical necklace to remember her by. 'This will remind you that you're braver than you think and that helping others lights up your own heart,' she said.

Whenever [Maya](SXVNL36M) feels scared, she touches her necklace and looks up at [Stella](YN2D9MN2) twinkling brightly among the stars. Wishes from brave hearts always come true.
