Author's Note: Eyyy! I have no time to write a tickle fic, but I thought I post something a little different than Sanders Sides. Blathers and Celeste are so easy to write for I've found. Much easier than I expected! If only a lot of other characters I enjoyed were like that. Well, don't know how often I will write for other fandoms, but the option is here now. Feel free to leave prompts for other fandoms if you wish. Doesn't necessarily mean I will write them, but it will give me a bit of a spark for trying out different characterizations in tickle fics. Again, I don't want to burn myself out, so I'll only upload once per weekend as of now if I'm able to at all. Thank for understanding! Hope you enjoy!

     "The stars are so beautiful tonight, hoot." Blathers monologued to himself. He had flown up to the roof of his museum to get a better look at the night sky dotted with little white orbs that lay millions of miles away. Normally, Blathers would just look at the sky from the ground, but tonight was special. Unlike ordinary nights on the Getaway Vacation Island Blathers was stationed at, the weather forecast had predicted a meteor shower.

     Now Blathers knew the difference between meteors, comets, and all celestial bodies, but he could not shake the childlike wonder he had retained since the very first shooting star he'd ever seen. He could recall the moment perfectly. A bright light zoomed through the sky, and those adorable, wide owl eyes of his followed the streak until it had vanished from sight. Like always when he discovered something new, he bothered his parents until they, but that's possibly why that moment meant so much to him. His family was able to share it with him, and thus his love for the unknown was born.

     How much more unknown was there to discover with a little sister by his side. He remembered when his parents gave him the task of naming her. He couldn't just name her anything, no. It had to be perfect. It had to be something...stellar. Looking up at that very same night sky, he wished to find a name for his baby sister. And Celeste is what he was given in return.

     "Wishes really do come true!!" He remembered blathering excitedly a year later to his little sister who gazed into his eyes with that same childlike wonder he used to have. "Here! I will show you!" And he showed her the very next meteor shower. Oh, how her eyes lit up like his did all those years ago. Watching someone discover the unknown was almost more exciting than discovering it for yourself. At that moment, he knew he wanted to be there to answer all her questions and watch her grow up.

     But now, she was all grown up. Blathers could not believe just how fast time had flown by. He was here, building a museum, and sadly away from all those he held dear. So, he sat and watched the stars, silently wishing that one day Celeste would come by and visit. It was nights like these that were always the hardest, because every star reminded him of those good times they had together. Blathers would have been lying to himself, if he had stated he wasn't homesick.

     He took his eyes off the sky for a second, feeling a bit misty-eyed from the memories he was replaying in his mind. Shuffling his talons, he solemnly waddled to the edge of the building and was about to hover to the ground, when a shadow flew behind him.

     "Hoot!?" He ruffled his feathers and turned around, but no one was there. "Perhaps it is my imagination, playing silly tricks on me once more..." He fluttered down to the ground but was quickly tackled before he could close the museum for the night.
