Story[]
Preparation[]
Selection of the Wish Granter[]
The Star Darlings received the news of the fourth identified wish orb the day after their first extracurricular activity with Ophelia over breakfast. The girls made their way to Lady Stella's office, with Vega arriving right after Leona and Ophelia. In the Wish Cavern, the headmistress summoned the wish orb. It began to move around the platform and finally stopped in front of Vega.
Prepping and journey[]
That evening, Vega set up three alarms on her Star-Zap, but at dawn, Piper's scream awakened her. While waiting for a sparkle shower, Vega chose the Wishworld Outfit Selector app and wore the clothes she had chosen the previous evening. After a sparkle shower, Vega and Piper went to the Celestial Cafe. After breakfast, they both headed for the Wishworld Surveillance Deck.
The other Star Darlings wished her luck, and Lady Cordial handed her a blue backpack with a shiny star attached. Then, attached to the shooting star, Vega set off towards Wishworld.
At one point in the journey, Vega's star-zap informed her about her Wishling disguise, so she chose her prepared outfit and recited a mantra.
Mission[]
Extracurricular Activities[]
After changing appearance and landing on Earth, Vega folded the star and put it in her backpack. Then she used her star-zap to find her wisher. When Vega reached her destination, Vega noticed on a pinboard the inscription "extracurricular activities" and that her pendant was starting to glow dimly. When she approached the first floor, one of the teachers directed her to the Acrobatics Club, where she joined the exercises. After a while, Vega decided to look for a different club. After some time, she ran into Katie, who invited her to her club - the Knitting Club, where she identified her wisher - Ella Silverstone.
After class, she decided to find Ella, but she disappeared. Katie offered to give her a lift, and Vega asked Kaite about her friend. She learned that Ella is known to wear fantastic clothes because her mother is a fashion designer and that she is very secretive. Vega decided to go with Katie to her house. During her stay, Vega learned that her school is for wealthy girls, with most students living in homes like Katie, except a few students with scholarships.
Trying to figure out Ella's wish[]
The next day, despite the careful observation of Ella during school activities, Vega couldn't guess her wish, with her only lead being Ella's mum. When the teacher reminded the class about 'Bring your parents to school day', Vega thought it was an important clue. Katie told her that the one from Ella had heard that her mother was unlikely to show up. Vega decided to find her wisher in the canteen but to no avail. Meanwhile, she discovered her power - mind control. During a conversation with her classmates, she learned they wanted to meet Ella's mother because the girl always dressed nicely.
After breakfast, Vega went to the library, where she heard her wisher say her wish; "for this lie to disappear". However, when Ella realized someone was eavesdropping, she got angry with Vega and started to ignore her.
Discovering Ella's true wish[]
During the following classes, Vega learned that none of Ella's friends had ever been at her house and what trends she started at school. The teacher then announced a homework assignment on interviewing a friend. Thanks to her power, Vega influenced the teacher, who paired her and Ella for the task. The two went to a cafe and did their homework while enjoying ice cream sundaes. After the conversation, Vega tried to guess her wish, but she was wrong. She spent the night on the school roof in her special tent.
The following morning, Vega was surprised to see Clover. After Clover explained the situation, they decided to find Ella immediately. In the classroom, she learned that Ella would not be here today. After hearing her friends' conversation, Vega suddenly realized what Ella had lied about - her mother was not a designer but a maid for one, and she doesn't come from a wealthy family. The two Star Darlings immediately headed for the girl's house. After Ella invited them into her home, she explained everything, including that she had designed her outfits.
Back in school, she persuaded the headmaster to create one more club - the Sewing Club. Ella explained the situation through the school's PA system, announcing that she had founded a new club and invited her friends to join. When they reached the club room, they discovered it was full of girls who wanted to join her. Ella revealed that her mother is not a fashion designer at all, to which her friends did not care but instead complimented her fabulous designs. Afterwards, her wish came true.
Aftermath[]
At Starling Academy, Lady Stella presented Vega with her wish orb, which turned into her wish flower. Within her wish flower was her power crystal - a Queezle.
Wishworld Observations[]
- Some Wishings wear a legless article of clothing called a leotard. Function: unclear at this point.
- Composting Club does not seem very popular. Look into this.
- Knitting seems complicated, but it's not as hard as it looks. It's actually quite relaxing!
- Sometimes Wishlings use words the opposite way. For example, sick.
- Ice cream melts!
