Have you ever thought of how shooting stars came to become? Here's a possible explanation:

Twinkle twinkle little star fell in love with John.  Knowing that it's impossible to be with him, Twinkie let her love burn, becoming a shooting star that scratched over the night sky.  Falling rapidly, Twinkie excitedly thought of how close she and John are going to become, finally on the ground together, no longer separated by a sea of darkness.  Twinkie didn't remember that to be on the ground, she had to first die as a star.  The people on earth who saw this true love could only wish upon a shooting star.  They say love is most beautiful just right before it dies off....
