magic, madness, heaven, sinthe black she cat waited calmly in the planetarium, with the giant telescope behind her, turning her head so her comet-like streak of white-blonde hair was displayed to the door. her deep blue eyes were fixed on a chart of the stars, a small section that was the first thing gazers studied. in the center was the sun. sun, sol. she was the sol. the cnter of their universe. was she good enough for them? what if she wasn't? what if they needed her? she sighed. don't worry now, shooting. these young cats are about to have their dreams fulfilled. or crushed. what would happen to those not chosen? their dreams broken, shattered like glass, like windows in the way of bullets. windows that just weren't strong enough. glue could only mask so much. arr. choosing. choosing who would rise to the occasion, and who would not. glass. but right now, she consoled, all i have to do is wait.
(what happens when horsey has a lot of time XD)

the brown-black femme padded over, her orange optics resting on her leader. "i'm here," solarpaw murmured, respectful and calm for once.

she smiled at the young cat. "hello," she purred. "okay, so i'm just going to test you on basic knowledge first." the black cat said, as she pointed to a constellation like a bear containing many stars and one very bright star. "what do we call this constellation."

Shootingstar ✯ She smiled. Not many young cats knew that. "This doesn't count. What is your favorite part of stargazing?"

solarpaw thought for a second. "the stars are just so pretty. i guess they just inspire me to just keep getting better and better!" she chirped, orange optics lighting up as she showed a bit of her vain nature.

Shootingstar ✯ She smiled. Okay. She pointed to the star chart, moving on to advanced things. "What planet is this?" she said, pointing to the third planet, a swirling mass of blue and green.

what? the apprentice giggled, though her laugh was cut short due to her nerves and eagerness to continue the contest.
