Part 1: A Handful of Wishes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was floating. In a galaxy of stars. It felt like something unreal...maybe I'm dreaming....but, that can't be. Or am I?

Once upon a time, in a small rural town lived an elderly toymaker who crafted a doll made of wood. The old man, who had no children of his own, loved his creation so dearly. When night came, he looked among the stars,  that shone like diamonds, and wished.

'I wish for him to be a real boy' he whispered.

Wait, I know this story! The story of Pinocchio, the wooden boy who wishes to be real. And....a known fairytale from my mother's country....

Before long, the old man has fallen asleep. A while later he was awoken by a clatter. The noise was from the doll, who was alive and real. As much as he was shocked, the old man was also happy for his wish to be granted. And so, he cared for the doll as his own, who soon became a real child, and they lived happily ever after.

I smile as the story finished. Although the original wasn't as lighter than the film Walt Disney had made, it was still well known. And my mother always sang to me that familiar song, "When you Wish Upon a Star"....being a tear to my eye even at the thought....

But I wonder what that'll have to do with today.....

{Class: Alchemy}

"And that is all for today's lesson." Crewel nodded. "Now, for a few announcements!" But elsewhere in class, a trio of misfits and one lone female were in their own circle of gossip.

"Class is done with....finally." Grim yawned. "It always work around the clock..."

"Yea, I'm sure you were napping just now...you're going too easy on yourself." Ace muttered to the grey-haired feline. But the female gave him a look.

"Oh. And YOU weren't napping just now?" She teased.

"Wait, were you?" Grim stares at the first year, who tensed up at being caught.

"Shhh, Charlie!! Don't run your tongue!  I was resting my eyes! And THAT ISN'T sleeping!" He tried shushing her (and correcting like the smart mouth he is).

But all Charlie did was give him an unimpressed glare. "Or maybe you were just looking at the inside of your eyelids like you had better things to do?"

The last of the trio sighed, "You two are just as bad as one another...." he muttered to his heart-symboled companion and Grim. "Just listen to what the teacher's got to say."

Ace smirked and turned to Deuce. "Always the goody two-shoes, I see."

"Yet his grades keep saying otherwise...." Grim throws in, making the spade boy throw them a glance to shut up.

"Will you shut up?!" He screamed, as a whip crack was sounded.

"Quiet! You pups are too rambunctious!" Crewel commanded.

The three hung their heads in shame. "Sorry...."

"Now then," Crewel got back on track. "Once class has been dismissed, there'll be a school assembly for all to attend. That's all for today! Now to the Lecture Hall!"
———————————
The Main Lecture Hall was brimming with students whispering among themselves, minutes before the assembly would commence. Charlie and the guys were seated together somewhere off to the side.

"Okay, were here, but I still dunno WHY we are." Grim pointed out.

"It's something about 'Star-sending'...." was all Ace muttered, looking unimpressed. But the female and her companion were confused.
