"I'm not going to bed until I find out what you ran away for!" Hoshi swiped the pin from the ground. "And why were you using this?" North Star and Hoshi began to quarrel. "It's something you shouldn't know yet." "Blah blah blah. Should I even know what my name is?" North Star froze for a second. "No... You shouldn't know quite yet." She stopped. "But I already know my name..." 

"Hoshi! Could you be just a little quieter?" Shouted Hana. "Sure... I guess." North Star, who she had almost forgotten about was circling around near her bed. "Uhm... About the name thing? Is Hoshi not my real name?" North Star continued to pace. "You can't know yet. Who knows, it could be your real name..." She was confused. "Um..."

"Hoshi! We need help to clean the tables." Her mother said. "Coming, I guess... Can we talk about this later?" "No. We won't talk about it until you're ready." Ignoring the pest, she ran downstairs. "So... Hoshi, may we talk while we clean?" "Uhm... About what?" Her mother started mopping the floors. "What were you really looking for?" 

Hoshi paused. "Um...  An animal snuck into the building. I... tried to look for it and shoo it out! I found it in my room and tossed it out the window." She looked as if she had run a marathon. "Are you lying to me again?" Hoshi shook her head, dropping a bead of sweat on the table she was wiping. "Well... The pest might still be around, but I'm sure I threw them out!" Her mother stopped her. "That's exactly the problem. It's not like you to toss a poor animal out the window! You have to be lying." Hoshi stuttered. "U-u-u-uh... Fine... I was lying. I... didn't find the pest." Sweating even more this time, she began to sway. "You okay, sweetie? It's fine if you didn't find it, at least you told us on one of our slower business days!

"Well, you can go ahead now. I just wanted to talk to you, that's all!" After that, Hoshi rushed upstairs to her room. "I feel terrible..." She wobbled onto her bed. "It's your fault then." Hoshi stopped her from saying any more. "It's like the same feeling with that tree..." North Star stopped again. "What...?" "Everything's turning blurry..." She fell over on her bed.

"It'd happen sooner or later... but this soon? What has she done..." North Star paced around. "Is she still breathing?" She looked up and noticed Hoshi was glowing. "What...? It's happening so fast..." She jumped on her chest to keep her breathing, just in case. "It's probably is temporary..." She said to herself. The glowing had since stopped. "I'll just let her sleep."

North Star took the pin out of Hoshi's hand, where she placed it for a bit. "It should be at least a little... more powerful." She snuck back out of the window. While she was sprinting away, Hoshi woke up. "What happened... Huh? Did she escape?"
