Once upon a time, way up high in the blue, blue sky, there were two magic schools. One school was made of soft, white clouds. This was the Cloud School. The other school was made of shiny, bright stars.
This was the Star School. The Cloud School kids were fluffy and quiet. Whoosh! They floated by.
The Star School kids were sparkly and loud. Zap! They zoomed around. The two schools did not get along.
The Cloud kids said,'We are the best! 'The Star kids said,'No, we are the best! 'They were not friends. They were rivals.
One day, the noise was too much. Boom! Crash! The thunder rolled.
The teachers looked worried. 'We need peace,'said the Cloud Teacher. 'We need quiet,'said the Star Teacher. They decided to pick special students.
These students would be the Peace Negotiators. That is a big word for brave talkers. From the Cloud School, they picked a little boy named Fluffy. Fluffy was very soft.
He was white like a marshmallow. From the Star School, they picked a little girl named Twinkle. Twinkle was very bright. She was yellow like a lemon drop.
Fluffy and Twinkle had a big job. They had to meet in the middle and talk. Fluffy felt scared. His tummy went flip-flop.
Twinkle felt scared too. Her heart went thump-thump. But they wanted to be brave. 'I can do it,'said Fluffy.
'I can do it,'said Twinkle. Fluffy floated away from his cloud. Whoosh! He moved slowly.
Twinkle zoomed away from her star. Zoom! She moved fast. They were going to the Rainbow Bridge.
The Rainbow Bridge was right in the middle of the sky. It was red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. It was very pretty. Can you see the colors in your mind?
Fluffy reached the bridge first. He sat on a red stripe. He waited. Whoosh!
Here came Twinkle. She landed on the orange stripe. She sparkled so much. Fluffy looked at Twinkle.
Twinkle looked at Fluffy. They were quiet for a moment. The wind blew softly. Swish, swish, swish.
'Hello,'said Fluffy. His voice was small. 'Hello,'said Twinkle. Her voice was tiny.
'I am Fluffy,'he said. 'I am Twinkle,'she said. They were being brave. It is hard to talk to someone new.
It is hard to talk when you are scared. But they did it anyway. That is courage. 'Why are you mad at us?
'asked Fluffy. 'We are not mad,'said Twinkle. 'We just want to shine. ''Why are you mad at us?
'asked Twinkle. 'We are not mad,'said Fluffy. 'We just want to float. 'Fluffy and Twinkle looked at each other.
They smiled a little bit. Giggle! 'I like your shine,'said Fluffy. 'It is pretty.
''I like your fluff,'said Twinkle. 'It is soft. 'They moved closer. Fluffy reached out a puffy hand.
Twinkle reached out a sparkly hand. They touched hands. Zap! A magical feeling went through them.
It felt warm. It felt happy. 'Maybe we can be friends? 'asked Fluffy.
'Yes,'said Twinkle. 'Let us tell the others. 'Fluffy and Twinkle went back to their schools. They told the Cloud kids,'The Stars are nice!
'They told the Star kids,'The Clouds are kind! 'The teachers were so happy. They decided to have a big party. All the clouds floated over.
All the stars zoomed over. They met on the Rainbow Bridge. It was a mix of soft white and bright yellow. It looked amazing.
Can you guess what happened next? The clouds and the stars played together. They made shapes in the sky. A cloud covered a star, and it glowed pink.
A star sat on a cloud, and it turned gold. They were not rivals anymore. They were friends. Fluffy and Twinkle were the bravest of all.
They showed everyone that talking is better than fighting. When the sun went down, the sky was peaceful. The stars twinkled softly. The clouds floated gently.
Everyone said goodnight. 'Goodnight, Fluffy. ''Goodnight, Twinkle. 'And they all slept happily in the cozy, quiet sky.
