Isabella's POV:

It was nighttime when the family and I were in the observatory, looking at stars through the big telescope as Amber was telling us a few new constellations 

Right now, it was Sofia's turn to look through a telescope before she gasped, "I saw a shooting star."

"Let me see," James said, getting Sofia's attention, when he repeated "Let me see."

Sofia stepped to the side, letting James look through the telescope  

While Amber was looking at another telescope as I was standing next to her when she corrected, "Actually, shooting stars are not really stars. They're meteors." Amber revealed, looking at her twin brother with her right hand, gesturing to the telescope 

Amber and I looked at Dad, as did Mom, who had his hands on his waist, his hands were clenched. "Wow." Dad places his hands behind him as he compliments, "You've become quite the expert in astronomy, Amber. I'm really proud of you." 

"Thanks, Daddy." Amber smiled at Daddy's compliment 

Mom, who has her hands lightly clasped together, looks at Amber before she announces, "Okay, stargazers, time for bed." She lightly gestured to James while we looked at our sister 

Amber looked at the night sky before walking a little. When she spoke, "Just a few more minutes." She sighed, wanting to stay here a little longer 

"I wish I could stare up at the stars all night." Amber smiles at the stars, shrugging her shoulders a little, to lightly clasping her hands together on top of her gown

When Dad suddenly remembered, "That reminds me." Dad started where we looked at him when he retelled "When I was a boy, we used star stones to turn the ceiling of my bedroom into a planetarium." He said with motioning his hands and forearms to lightly gesture to the sky as a reference to his former bedroom, then motioned his arms outwards  

"That sounds amazing." Amber smiles, leaning forward  

"What are star stones, Dad?" James asked, motioning his left forearm forward, as we were also curious 

"They're little star-shaped stones that glow," Dad answered, raising his right forearm, pinching his fingers on his right hand, then waving it  

Dad lowered his arm as he told us where they were located: "They can only be found on 'Swamp Rock Hill.'" Dad motions his left hand to the side a little, then curls his hand 

When Sofia remembered when she said, "My Buttercup troop is going on an overnight hike to Swamp Rock Hill next week." She motions to herself, then looks at Mom and Dad, motioning her hands downwards a little, then lowers them above her waist 

"Oh, that's perfect." Amber motions her left hand to lower a little, then lifts her hand to curl. "You can bring some back for me."

"And me too, with the Star Stones, it'll give me some inspiration for my art." I smiled, looking at Sofia 

Mom looked at Amber and me when she suggested, "Maybe you two can go on the hike with the Buttercups." She looked and gestured to Sofia 

Amber and I weren't sure about this, as Sofia liked the idea. "That's a great idea." Sofia motions her forearms forward, her hands facing a little downwards. 

"New Buttercups are always welcome." Sofia looked at Amber and me, motioning her arms in an outer circular motion 

"Us, hike?" Amber and I asked, disliking the idea  

"No, thanks." Amber declined, shaking her head, hand shrugging  

"We're more of an indoor princesses." Amber crosses her arms, closing her eyes to tilting her head to the side as I nod in agreement
