The Wishing Tree (1): A Destiny City Star Festival Tradition to be held every year; In Town Square, there is a beautiful tree with spreading branches. It is tall, but the lowest branches are easily reached. The city has decorated the tree with small, starlike ornaments and glistening lights. Thick leaves and beautiful purple flowers dangle from the branches, along with a myriad of different colored papers with handwritten wishes. Next to the tree is a stack of blank paper with twine attached, and a handwritten sign that explains:
Write your wish on a sheet of paper and tie it to the tree. Take one wish off the tree and do your best to grant it. When you have granted the wish, bury the paper in the park.
The papers are biodegradable and filled with seeds. There are no rules for wishing, but you are encouraged to wish for something vague enough that it can be interpreted in many ways so that it can be granted; you do not write your name on it, but it is encouraged to write something that doesn’t wish for self gain, but rather something that can make the world a better place. Some wishes dangling from the tree already include things like “I wish there wasn’t so much litter in the park,” “I wish someone would clean the graffiti off the old historic buildings,” and “I wish there were more volunteers at the shelter.”
If you choose to use the Wishing Tree, what do you wish for? If your wish is private, you may write it on the paper and choose a spot in the park and bury it yourself instead of hanging it on the tree.

Things…were exciting. There was a festival of some kind and the city was almost glowing with the excitement. It…was strange, but Genevieve wanted to participate. She made her way to the town square where she had heard that there was a tree that granted wishes...and if there was ever a time or a place for her to visit…a wishing tree was it.
Walking without her tail was still…uncomfortable but it was doable too. And when she reached the tree, she gazed at it in awe. This…was something special and as she took hold of her piece of paper, she took a moment, trying to think of what she could wish for…everything that she wanted was…well.
Impossible so…

I wish for you to hold your family close and remind them of your love for them.
Turning to the purple haired girl next to her, Genevieve reached out and tugged on her shirt sleeve. “Excuse me, but…what does this do?”
It was beautiful, so there had to be a purpose behind it.
