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.

Shedir was so excited about the Star festival. She remembered the festival from last year, and she couldn't wait to see all the decorations, eat the delicious food, and watch the fireworks. She was already planning how to spend her time at the festival.
But the first thing on her mind was getting all her Senshi friends together. This year she wanted to see if they could all make wishes together. So Shedir texted Christabel and Leaena and told them to meet her at the wishing tree.
The wishing tree was in Town Square. There is a beautiful tree with spreading branches. It is tall, but the lower branches are easily reached. The city has decorated the tree with small, starlike ornaments and glistening lights. It was a place full of magic and Shedir couldn't wait for them to arrive.
Christabel got the text and that was when she quickly started wrapping up the sugar cookies she was making. Once she got them all squared away she raced as fast as she could towards the tree. When she reached the tree, she was breathless in awe. She had never seen anything so beautiful and the lights seemed to sparkle in the night sky. She knew that this was going to be a Star fest like Christmas she would never forget. The tree gave her all the vibes that Christmas did - wishes and pretty lights!
"Hey guys! I'm here! Sorry it took me a while, I had to put away a couple of sugar cookies," she said with a wave and slight laugh as she walked up to the tree. She was mesmerized by the view of the tree lit up with beautiful lights.
