Lia: Did you see that shooting star last night? I swear, I said Marco before it disappeared. That means good luck for him today.
Marco: Laughs You really believe that? It was probably just a small meteor burning up in the atmosphere. No magic involved.
Lia: You always say that. But listen—my cousin did that once. She saw a shooting star, said her crush’s name, and the very next day he messaged her after months of silence. Explain that, Mr. Science.
Marco: Easy—coincidence. If you think something good will happen, you start noticing every small positive thing. It’s like when people buy red wallets for luck and suddenly feel richer, even though nothing actually changed.
Lia: But why is it always so accurate? Even my lola says shooting stars are rare moments when wishes travel faster. You have to be quick, or the luck disappears with the light.
Marco: Shooting stars are rare because the Earth doesn’t constantly run into space dust big enough to glow. The “quick wish” part makes it exciting, but physics doesn’t care about names or luck.
Lia: Still, it makes people hopeful. When I said Marco, I felt happy the whole night. Isn’t that worth something?
Marco: That part I agree with. The feeling is real—even if the cause isn’t magical. Hope can change how you act the next day, and that might actually bring good outcomes.
Lia: So you’re saying the luck comes from me, not the star?
Marco: Exactly. The star just gives you a dramatic backdrop. Like nature’s special effects.
Lia: Smiles Fine. I’ll keep my superstition, and you keep your science. But next time there’s a shooting star, don’t pretend you didn’t secretly think of something.
Marco: Maybe I’ll think, “I hope Lia finally admits science makes sense.”
Lia: Don’t push your luck. The star might be listening.
