Ace scowled as he dragged himself back to the little cave he'd made his home, mud dripping from his wings. Ugh, girls, he thought sourly. Why are they all so... so... stuck up? Can't find a single one that can take a joke. Especially the one he'd pranked today. She'd caught him in the act and her boyfriend had sent Ace flying into the mud he'd splattered the girl with. It wasn't like I dumped it on her. It wasn't even enough to coat half of her! Just a light peppering, that was all. But noooo... overreact like all of the others.
Still in a sour mood, he plopped down by the pool of water just outside his home and proceeded to clean himself. He paused for a moment, however, when he noticed the reflection of the night sky in the semi-clear water. Ace turned his gaze upward and swore one of the stars twinkled at him. He sighed, lowering his head for a moment. "I must be in a real slump," he mumbled, glancing around to make sure no one else was around before turning his eyes skyward once more. "Look... I know this ain't like me and you probably have better wishes to grant, but... I'm getting kinda lonely down here. Grant's been hangin' out with some girl, and Cherish... well, she's got other friends too. And Cher ain't good with pranks..."
He paused then forced himself to continue. "I just... want to be a part of something again." Ace had lowered his head as his voice got quieter, staring into his reflection. "Grant and Cherish have other friends to hang out with... y'know? But they're all I've got. They're the closest thing I've got to family. It makes me really happy to be with them. They can't be with me all of the time, I know that. That's why..." He signed and turned his gaze skyward again. "Look, we both know that I have problems with women getting mad at me, but I really want a family. One of you's gotta have a spare wish to grant, right?" His dark gray eyes flicked from one star to another, eventually settling back on the star he'd originally engaged in conversation. "You can pull it off, can't you? It's just a kid or two. And I bet Cher would love some Gladiers her own age to play with, even for just a little while." His ears flattened against his head, as if the star was giving him a counterargument like Grant always did. "I'd take good care of them, really! I can..." He hesitated before continuing. "I can cut down on the pranks. I promise. So..." His ears perked up in hesitant hope. "Please?"
