❝Hitch your wagon to a star.❞ -Ralph Waldo Emerson
  
Clark Jones's uncle just died. Having to juggle the loss of his closest family member and high school, Clark struggles to find the rainbow in life he encourages others to chase. He just wants to run away to Cape Canaveral with his best friend Maya where they can live their dream of working at NASA.

While Clark struggles with the loss of his uncle, Maya Edwards deals with her own issues. Her dad is a drunk, her mom is a drug addict, and she faces bullies at school because she wears whatever the hell she wants-mostly Halloween costumes. Her quirky personality helps Clark get over his loss through their friendship and mutual love of the stars, but what happens when their feelings become more? 

Their new relationship is a difficult transition, but they're willing to work through their own pain to create something wonderful. Promising Maya the universe, Clark tries to give her the life she deserves. Adventures happen, secrets come out, and a loss larger than his uncle's shakes the lives of these two teens that fall in love under the stars.

Lily is a normal sixteen year old girl who lives off the coast of Sacury, California, where she loves Theatre and her friends, even though she lives in an orphanage. But when mysterious people randomly start showing up, telling her that her destiny is away from California and away from human life, she goes with them to find what she really is. What will happen as she finds out about her family... her real family? How far will she go to kill the one who murdered her sister... who is also the King of Tanyela? And maybe finding the one guy of her dreams... in a world she never expected. When things go out of hand, she will find herself in a sea of troubles... literally. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, this is really a spin-off of the Fight or Flight series, choosing a different point of view and a time a littler bit after the fourth story, but don't worry- you don't need to have read the others to understand this one. It explains everything later on. This is my Camp NaNoWriMo story, and I love the support people have given me for writing it in a month. I did completely finish writing it, and I finished the first wave of editing. I love you all so much, and thanks for reading!! :D Cover by BlueRoses0123!!!
