Nebulon Music & Light Festival
Mia, Leo, Emma, Jay, and Zeta are invited as VIP guests to Nebulon’s grand Music & Light Festival. Mia and Emma decorate the stage with glowing lanterns and ribbons, while Leo and Jay learn to play alien instruments—a light harp and a sound orb—under Zeta’s gentle guidance. As the festival begins, their harmonized music and coordinated lights create a dazzling performance that lights up crystal pillars and fills the sky with rainbow beams. Through teamwork and creativity, the friends discover how music and color can unite a crowd and celebrate the magic of Nebulon’s culture.
