-Starlight Festival-
(Bate / Meta / Arthur / Pop Star)
“1 day left!!!” Meta beamed, happily looking up at his teacher. “Oh, I can’t wait!!! I already have a huge list of everything we gotta do tomorrow!”
“Yeah!” Arthur smiled, excited he finally gets the chance to eat the special, star shaped pan they make for this celebration. Although he never ate it before, all the posters he saw on the way here surly made it seem like it was the best thing at the whole celebration. He eyed all the empty booths and couldn’t help but lick his lips when they open tomorrow. “I can’t wait to try all the food they have. And make sure to buy LOTS of the Pop Star pan, Teacher Bate! I heard from someone that it sells out quick! ”
With a small chuckle, Bate listened on as his students continued to talk about all the festivities they wanted to enjoy with him. Then again, it was truly a special event. Although it took several days to reach this particular town, it’s not everyday you get to be part of a celebration that honors Star Warriors. The famous Dreamland Starlight Festival!
Bate figured it’s a great way for them to learn not only about their background, but also see how others celebrate it as well. He’d have to thank Atka for informing him about it…which shouldn’t be long. Lifting his arm, he looked at the toy Star Rod one of the vendors generously gifted them. Sweet Nova, the celebration hasn’t even started and he already got a gift. Hopefully Meta and Arthur won’t let it get to them.
“Hey, Teacher…” Meta interrupted his thoughts. “Where are we going? If the celebration isn’t until tomorrow why are we here?”
“Gumball, there’s more to this celebration than candy, toys and pan.” He shook his head.
“Well, those poster says otherwise.” Arthur said, pointing to another flier that passed the trio.
“Well, okay, yes. It’s a celebration, but do you know what we’re even celebrating?” He asked.
“You said it was about Star Warriors!!” He smiled. “We know all about the Great Kalamar Kalmari. Home celebrates him and Miss Dyna Star all the time!”
“Not to mention you already taught us everything about them.” Arthur added.
The pair stopped their rambles and focused on Bate when he held up the toy given to them. “You know the story of our home, but you do know the story of theirs?”
“Theirs?” Meta softly spoke.
“Our planet wasn’t the only one effected by the invasion of Demon Beasts and Dark Matter. In fact, there are many other planets with their own traditions and stories to celebrate their freedom from them. You know our history, yes…but not the history of Pop Star and Dreamland.”
“Ooooh.” The small Puffs spoke in unison.
“Will….we learn about it, then?” Arthur curiously asked.
“Are you gonna teach us before the festival?” Meta piped in not a second later.
“You will, but I won’t be the one doing the teaching this time around.” He mused and stopped at the flight of stairs in front of him. Using his wing, he gently grabbed Meta and Arthur, and made the his way up once they were securely in his grasp. It didn't take long to reach the top, and once they did Meta and Arthur gasped in surprise when they saw who was up there.
“Lady Atka!!” Meta quickly wiggled out of Bate’s grasp to give the old Sphere Doomer a hug.
“Sir Meta Knight.” She happily returned the hug and faced Arthur still perched on her Master’s head. “And Sir Arthur. It’s so good to see you again.”
“I figured since Atka was the one who told me about it, she’s the best one to learn from.” Bate said, heading to the Doomer.
“And it will be an honor to teach you two the history of Pop Star.” She said, motioning the two to a large fountain a few feet away.
“Yeah!” Arthur smiled, excited he finally gets the chance to eat the special, star shaped pan they make for this celebration.
