Ayer Aruna gets the ingredients, Astro shows her how to use the in each spell. Aruna is forced to train every single second she can and the only break from training she get is when she is at school, when she is sleeping, and when she is doing chores. She feels exhausted all the time. Astro routine is similar to Aruna's but he gets more brakes than Aruna because he already knows all the spells there is to learn and he is really good at doing them, so he can hit the requirements quicker than Aruna. This goes on for about three years, until it was about to be Aruna's thirteenth birthday and Astro decides to do something special for her.
May 5 ##23 (Aruna is 12 and Astro is 15)
Astro looks everywhere to find Aruna ans he ends up finding her in the backyard training, of course. Astro sneaks behind Aruna. "Boo!" Astro screams.
"Aghhh!" Aruna yells. She shoots a star at Astro that he quickly dodges. And the star pierce the gate behind Astro
Astro holds his hand up. "Woah, there. Calm down, it's just me." Astro says
"Seriously, why would you even do that?" Aruna asked as she crossed her arms.
"I just wanted to see you reaction, I guess." Astro said. "But anyways guess what's coming up soon!" Astro excitedly asked.
Aruna looked at Astro confused. "I don't know, what?" Aruna asked
"Wait, what? You seriously don't know?" Astro asked.
"No...? What did I forget? Is it important?" Aruna worriedly asked.
"Your birthday. You're turning thirteen in two days." Astro said. "How did you forget your birthday?" Astro asked.
"Oh. I don't know." She said as she stared to put all the ingredients she had on the ground into a bag. "I mean it's not that important anyway, so I guess that's why." Aruna said. She put the bag on her shoulder.
"What?! Of course it's important!" Astro said. "That's why I am taking you somewhere for your birthday." Astro said proudly.
Aruna turned to Astro. "You know I have training to do, and Diana will get mad if I just skip training because of a birthday. I really don't have time to do this stupid birthday stuff. I'm sorry." Aruna said and then she tried to walk away, but Astro grabbed her by the arm and stopped her.
"Come on, it's only for one day. Training can wait." Astro said as he put arm on her shoulder. "It's ok to take a break. You're going to be a teen soon, so at least make it special."
Aruna looks at Astro and then at the ground. "I don't know, what if we get in trouble because of it?" Aruna asked as she looks back at Astro.
"Come on, live a little. And even if we do get in trouble I won't let Diana lay a finger on you." Astro said.
Aruna just stands there for a second. "Fine, but I get to invite so friends if we do this." Aruna said
"Do you mean your girlfriend and some friends?" Astro asked with a smirk on his face.
Aruna blushes hard. "Shut up!" Aruna said as she pushed Astro away a bit. "You have a girlfriend too." Aruna said.
Astro took he's arm off Aruna and elbowed her. "Leave Lin out of this." Astro said while blushing.
"Well you should have left Selene out of it." Aruna added.
"Fair enough." Astro said. "Now is there anything in particular you want to go?" Astro asked
Aruna thought for a few seconds. "Could we go to the park?" Aruna asked.
"The park? That's lame." Astro said while rolling his eyes.
Aruna gets offended. "What do you mean?! The park is the best! You get to see the beautiful nature, it's quite, you get the sun on your skin, and you get the feeling of wind against your face." Aruna explained.
Astro looks at Aruna unimpressed. "You can do all of that in the backyard. That's nothing special." Astro said. "But if that's what you want to do, then we can do it."
"Yes!" Aruna excitedly said. "Ooo, so it would be kinda like a picnic?" Aruna asked.
"Yeah." Astro replied. Astro listened to Aruna as she explained exactly how she wanted it to be. Seeing Aruna so happy about this and how excited she was made Astro smile.
Most stars have an amazing life that is perfect and filled with happiness from the start, but not this one

Aruna and her older brother, Astro, stayed with their mother, Dina. And Aruna’s other brother, Ravi, when with their father. Aruna has not seen either of them since. Diana was very abusive towards Aruna and Astro, mentally and physically. But the whole time Astor protected Aruna as much as he could. But it got to a point where Astro ended his own life. Aruna could bear to stay there for any longer there alone with Diana. Aruna ran away from home, with no other choice, she went to Lin’s house.
Aruna has to live with the trauma of everything she has went through. She feels like everything is going wrong and she is desperately trying to be happy, even if it’s just for a bit.
