    Every night, Timmy would gaze out his window and talk to his little star. He would share his dreams, his fears, and his hopes with his twinkling friend.

    But one evening, the star was nowhere to be found. Timmy was heartbroken. He decided he would go on a journey to find his lost friend.

    He packed his bag with a flashlight, sandwiches, and a blanket. He kissed his mom goodnight and embarked on his quest under the cover of darkness.

    Rumble was kind and offered to help Timmy in his quest. Together, they continued deeper into the woods, talking and laughing along the way.
