Twinkle, twinkle my little Starr 3

Dayu stroked Starr's brown hair as they talked about her father and how things used to be.

"I was so happy when I had you," she told the mortal, "you were all human, but you had dark powers like me. I knew you'd be good and amount to a hero. But Master Xandred would never allow a child, and so I had to leave you with your father. I visited you until you were three. Then I had to go back for good. And by the time I tried to see you again, it was too late."

"I faintly remember a Mom," Starr racked her brain, "but..I never knew that you were her."

"I sure missed you," the Nilock pulled Starr into her lap as they sat in the forest under a spot where the trees parted at the canopy, making the stars visible, "I remember it was about this time at night when I gave birth to you nearly sixteen years ago. Your dad helped me deliver you, and I remember holding you in his robe, rocking you as you cried."

"I faintly remember someone holding me close as I cried," the girl replied.

"You were little bit of a crybaby," the female monster laughed softly, "and I remember looking at those stars, thinking of how your eyes sparkled and twinkled just like them. So I named you Starr. And then I sang you a song that always calmed you down when you cried."

Her eyes widened as she spoke softly, "I remember that."

Dayu started to sing the lullaby.

Twinkle, twinkle my little Starr,

How I wonder who you are.

Steady and strong, not at all weak,

Leader, a hero, but for now just sleep,

Twinkle, twinkle, my little Starr,

How I can't wait for who you are.

The teen smiled and kissed Dayu's cheek.

"So…are you going back?" she asked softly.

"I must try and talk to Decker," she spoke sadly, "see, I misspoke a little. Decker was your dad, but the guy who nearly killed you was a 'friend'."

"Oh," she nodded, "I guess I need to go back, too."

"It's who you are," Dayu kissed her daughter, "it's seems like only yesterday you were being a goofy little two year old in my clothes, clomping around in Decker's shoes. I wondered who you were really, and I couldn't be more proud at the answer."

The dark haired girl blushed.

"I love you," she mumbled as she hugged her, "visit or something."

"I'll try," Dayu promised, "oh, and by the way: Your not a monster. You're my star."

Grinning as her mom vanished from her words, she headed back. She started to sing the old lullaby her mom had always sang. Her parents were out there, alive and caring. She had a ways to go with this past battle, but this was a start.

She was a star.

Dayu's little star.
