I can make the first move, but I cannot lead the way. People use me to part with their own.

My first half makes you grimace at first bite, my second shines bright in the dead of night. Together, I am an actor's favorite sight.

I am hoarded in panic, yet I vanish in haste, I stick by your side, in your darkest hour. I ease your toil when nature won’t wait, Then I let you leave in a fresher state.

I am related to cookies, but I am not special enough. People often put me in cakes and desserts with me.

I'm a noble gas, yet I shine so bright, In signs and lamps, my glow's a delight. In the periodic table, my spot's just right, A festive hue, in lights, I show.
