A/N Just a notebook AU, Has death. Kinda. Fact of the day. I have a pinapple conure who's name is Mango. Mango The Pineapple.

"And yo-ou'd fa-a-all asleep w-iih a great bi-i-ig sm-ile in you heart."

There was no denying it. Dot was dead. All the color drained from her face. Yakko picked her up and nuzzled their noses. He gave her the softest noogie he could. Yakko hugged her and cried out everything he could think of.

But it didn't matter.

There was no coming back. I wasn't even sure if I could reach the star. I went soon after Yakko started babbling. I was crying just as hard. I recounted the rules again and again.

"No wishing for the dead to come back alive."

"No wishing for love."

"If you can find a loophole, you can have your wish."

"Think Wakko think! What can I do to bring Dot back?"

Loopholes are Yakko's thing. Not mine. I need to think of something. Anything. Dot often sid I was stupid, and even though it was often as a joke, that's all I felt.

Thinking of Dot made me want to just sink to my knees. But I couldn't stop now.

"For my baby sister."

I just run. Thinking of Dot, and Yakko.

I'm laying in Dot's bed, crying. We can't bring ourselves to bury her yet. It's maybe 11 at night. Yakko is wearing ZDot's flower and is sleeping with her doll replica. I don't want to keep crying, but I can't help it. I reached the star but didn't know my wish. I get up to go to my "harp" with is really just an old mattress frame. I just play. It feels so empty with no dancing, no singing, just a sad empty tune from the night before. But sadder. The words come back to me. No point in wishing for a star again. I Blew that chance.

"Twinkle Twinkle little Dot,

how I wonder where you are.

Out in space so Bright and clear,

Can you see me way down He-"

"Of course I can ya big goof!"

"Huh?"

"Hiya Wakko! Dija Miss Me?"

"Dot!?"

"The one and only! Wait, too cliche, can I have a redo?"

"Dot it's really you!" I pick her up and twirl her around, and she hugs me back.

"But how?"

"But how what?"

"How are you a... spirit?

"Pip said that if you die within a mile of the Wishing Star you'll become a wishing spirit."

"Oh."

"Yeah so I'm not really dead, but I can't be with you guys or see mom or dad so I don't really see the point."

I'm still hugging her but the thought of us not being able to be with each other moves me to tears again.

"Aww don't cry, or I'll cry too!"

"What's all this noise here-"
