Shooting Stars.

On Hyperion, shooting stars were known as the souls of those who passed on. Those who had fulfilled their own wishes. You'd often join the King and Queen to watch the stars fall, imagining them as friends you could have made.

You continued that tradition; that's what the Shooting Star Festival was for. Watching the souls of the deceased shoot across the sky, readying themselves for their next adventure in their next life. And to commemorate your arrival on Earth and become Queen.

You and Bunny stood together, hand in hand, watching the stars shoot across the sky. You smiled, knowing that many of those stars were your fallen comrades.

Bunny stared down to your eyes, watching them fill with shimmering lights that flew before you. He recalled this tradition, you spoke about it when night would fall at the Warren all those years ago.

So many secrets were shared on those nights you frequently spent beside each other, some happy, some not.

People around the two of you awed and gasped as lights filled the galaxies even more, people pointing to stars with such delight.

"That is what we become when we pass on next," you whispered.

Bunny perked up at your words, looking towards your soft smile once more. Your heart was filled with sorrow, he knew that many of those stars were once your friends.

"But...ain't we immortal...?"

"Not really," you said, "we die twice. The first time, when you stop breathing..."

"And the second...?"

"And the second...a bit later on," you mumbled, "when somebody mentions your name...for the last time..."

You smiled softly at Bunny, squeezing his paw gently. Bunny squeezed your hand back, reassuring you.

"I'm sorry, I got a bit...out of touch," you apologised, "I've just...never been able to talk about it."

"Sheila..." Bunny muttered, turning to you and holding your hands gently, "ah'm here now...we can talk..."

You smiled softly, tears in your eyes as you gripped onto him, "thank you..."

"Anytime sheila..."

You pulled away from Bunny and smiled once more, allowing him to hold your face gently, wiping the tears from your cheeks.

Almost immediately, you leant into his touch. You've been starved for this kind of connection for a very long time.

"By the way, Sheila," Bunny perked up, "why're ya barefoot?"

"Oh. Forgot about that."

Bunny chuckled at your lack of awareness when it suddenly dawned on him. Very few people were actually wearing shoes.

And then the music begun. 

Cheerful music filled the air and people begun to dance in sync. You snapped out of your reminiscent state and clapped your hands to the music, remembering that this tune was one that had been performed in a neighbouring kingdom years ago. You reminisced the Princess returning after being locked away in a tower for years, oh what was her name again...
