I Learn To Fly With My Past Pt. 1

| Luna |

When we woke up, I could see that Juliette and Adrian were sleeping next to each other, which was strange since I could remember quite clearly that they weren't sleeping together when we first went to bed. I smiled. I was the only one awake so far. I went to check on the pegassi. As I walked, I could see the sun rising. I always loved to see it rising. I saw that the pegassi were still sleeping. I sat next to the one that had carried me here. I called on a soft breeze. It was all so nice and quiet.

I decided to practice something that I rarely got time to do. I woke the pegassi up and climbed its back. When we were a little way above ground I leaned it and told the pegassi, "If I am about to hit the water, then you catch me. Though I am pretty sure I 'll be alright."

It neighed in response. Then I let go of the pegassi and fell. I was told that some children of Jupiter could control the winds to fly, and since I wasn't afraid of heights I decided to try. I focused on the wind currents and tried to slow my fall.

I opened my eyes and yes. It worked. I was hovering about 50ft off the ground. I willed the currents to go ahead. It worked, I was actually flying! I soared up to the pegassi who was watching me with a confused expression.

"Come on," I told it, "let's go down."

When I reached the ground I saw a figure who was standing on the shore. James was standing there, a look of astonishment on his face.

"How?" he said.

I laughed.

"Come on," I told him, "you wanna go fly?"

"Are you sure you know what you're doing Luna?" he asked, a bit nervous.

"How many times must I tell you to trust me?"

"Oh I don't know. Just enough times for me to make sure you're not crazy."

Before he could say anything else, I took his arm and pulled him up. We flew for about 50ft when I just stopped and hovered in the same place.

"Now do you trust me?" I asked him with a smirk.

"Maybe," he said, with a small smile.

I pulled him towards me. I looked into his black eyes. We were both children from the past. Well, I wasn't so much from the past. Just then he placed a small kiss on my lips. I blushed, trying to keep us hovering while remembering who I was.

"You ready to go back down?" I asked him.

"Well, it's technically your wish," he said, "if I say yes you could still make us hover, if I say no, well I'm afraid you'll make me fly as fast as a hawk."

I laughed. "I guess we'll go back down. Don't want the others wondering what happened to us."

I flew us back down. The sun was just above the horizon. No one was awake yet.

"Well," James said, "guess there's no one around to wonder what happened to us."

"Yeah," I said, "why don't we just sit on the shore and eat some of the snacks. Then if the others still aren't up, then we could wake them."
