Behind the blue curtain of her sleep pod, Lulu tapped three dots on her glove. Tap, tap, tap. That meant the brand-new Pawprint Star Game had begun, but she needed one real space paw to finish it. “Psst, Biscuit,” she whispered. The puppy’s tail thumped the blanket like a tiny drum.

The rule was secret: follow the paw shapes, then touch the smallest moon. Biscuit bounced first, bumping Lulu’s snack pouch open. Crunchy star crackers spun everywhere. Lulu gave up her last cracker to lure him back, and Biscuit pressed one soft paw on her glove. Suddenly the game felt better than winning. They drifted home with crumbs in their sleeves and one new rule: wherever Biscuit’s paw landed, that was base. If you spot the paw prints around them, shh—you know where the game is hiding.
