Captain Mira Voss came to a big quiet place called Elysia. Everything was super still, like when I play statue and can’t move or talk! She saw a little box making a blink-blink light. It said, “Trust the stars.” That made Mira think the stars were telling secrets, like whispers from giggly ghosts. She touched the box, but it was too sleepy to say more. Then, she heard a beep that sounded like a robot hiccup – it made her jump and giggle because it was funny and weird. She wondered if the stars were playing a game, hiding clues like a treasure hunt in space. Maybe the stars want us to guess their secret story, but only when we listen with our big kid ears. Mira smiled and said, “Okay, stars, I’m listening!” Then she waited quietly, hoping the stars would tell her more next time. And that was the beginning of a starry friendship waiting to happen.
