"Valentino, it's time to turn out the light, it's late plus we need our rest, Star too." the young goat male heard Asha say making himfrowning. What he didn't tell Asha or Star was that he was afraid of the dark but embarrassed to tell them in case somebody made fun of him.

"Asha, can't we leave the light on." he told her. Asha and Star exchanged a look wondering what was going on but Valentino was quiet knowing that Asha wouldn't make fun of him but was cuddling him wondering what was bothering him but the goat youngster was quiet as Asha turned the light off only Star noticed a frightened look on his face which confused her hearing soft whimpers as his imagination turned Ashaks room into a room of monsters who wanted his fur for yarn or steal his conductor baton shivering in the blanket.

The next morning, Asha and Star noticed that Valentino was tired wondering why he was tired while helping her mom and Sapino make breakfast but sensed Star might know what was bothering Valentino making warm oatmeal with honey putting a bowl under the table for Valentino as it might improve his mood then later, she could ask him what waswrong seeing Star enjoying the oatmeal but getting sticky from the honey making Asha's mom giggle wiping Star's face hearing her giggle.

"Thank you." she told her grinning noticing asleepy smile on Valentino's face.

"You're welcome, but Valentino looks tired and is everything okay." Asha heard her mom ask. She knew that Valentino could talk but being a mother, she sensed something was wrong and saw Asha give her Valentino'sbowl to wash guessing she and Star could help Valentino with whatever was bothering him.

"You know you can tell us anything, as we're concerned as you look tired plus Star said you looked scared and were whimpering after I turned the light off." Asha told Valentino. They were in her room after they'd returnedfrom being at the castle and while Asha had been with her friends, Valentino had been zoning out while conducting another musical number which Star had pointed out to Asha which had bothered her.

"Asha, h-have you ever been afraid of the dark." Valentino mumbled softly.

"Uh-huh when I was aslittle asyou, ohhhhh that's what's gling on, oh Valentino it's okay to be afraid like when King Magifico was after us. We'll figure something out." she told him seeing a confused look on Star's face as Asha was explaining to her making her understand

"We'l help you out." she reassured Valentino.
