constellation is one of many; divided.
she speaks with them, she hears them - they share a body, but at times they could not be more different.
however, they do share one common goal; get home.
(a cosmic entity - a literal constellation of stars - turned flesh;
they and (x number) of other stars in their formation fell from the sky and were given one physical form on earth.
they can all communicate, sometimes for better or for worse. they want to return to their rightful place, and brighten the night sky once again.)

i had always considered them my best friends; after all, we had spent hundreds of years together. never one without the others. it took all of us, shining, to show the world who we were. there had never been any problems. every night, we lit up the sky. until one day... we didn't. something happened. something that had never happened before. i - they - we, realized we didn't really want to work together. some of us wanted to be part of something everyone knew (who hasnt heard of the little dipper?), some of us wanted to be independent. some of us, like me, were fine where we were. it only took two nights before we grew so distant, we stopped being friends. i began to wonder, were we ever?
now, a constellation disappearing from the sky is a pretty big deal. the boss was not happy. the other stars had to shine brighter just to disguise the hole we had left in our patch of the night sky. he told us to figure it out. some of us tried. some of us didn't. the boss still was not happy. he said we had one more night to work it out, or he was going to fix it himself. we didn't work it out. so, come morning, we woke up. or... i, woke up. i remember. it was loud. i heard all of them - my friends - bickering. 'shes finally up! she was always the laziest out of all of us! its her fault we didnt work!'. i looked around, but they were not there. what was there; a bench. trees. people. i had seen them, but they had always been the size of ants. everything was so large. intimidating.
i looked down, and let out a scream. my head went silent. i was no longer a mass of gas and light and electricity. i was... human. flesh and blood.
