While Pietro was sitting with a book in his hands, Luna was on her soft bed, playing with some dolls.

"When will you gonna take me to earth? I want to see grandpa," Luna asked, hugging her whale doll.

"We'll do that anytime soon, Luna," replied Pietro, just finished one book in a few seconds, then picked up another book to read.

Luna plopped down on the bed, still hugging her whale doll, she let out a sharp sigh. Pietro closed the book and got up from his seat, he approached his daughter who was rolling on the bed.

"Listen, I promise to take you to earth, we can arrange the time, and we will also go to the zoo, how about that?" Pietro offered.

"Pinky promise? Because I'm desperate to see a giraffe," Luna smiled widely, showing some of her tiny teeth.

"Pinky promise? Yes..." Pietro replied, winking one eye.

"Okay, now, do you have any idea where mommy is?" He asked.

Luna shook her head, "I've been here with you all the time, how would I know, Daddy,"

"You're right," Pietro scratched his head, he had been running for a few seconds all over the palace while watching Luna, and he couldn't find Crystal anywhere.

"She's often gone lately, she said she went to earth, but she never let me come," Luna said with a bit of disappointment.

"To earth?" Pietro asked, looking a little confused.

"I think I should find your mom now, you can play with your friends, okay?" Pietro said, he stood up but before he left, Luna said something that stopped him.

"But I have no friends," Luna told him.

Pietro tilted his head, he sat back down next to his daughter.

"What do you mean you have no friends?" Pietro asked.

Luna's head lowered slightly, "They don't like me,"

"And do you know why?" Pietro asked, bringing his little girl's gaze back to him.

"I don't know," Luna shrugged.

"They said I'm different, they didn't want to play with me," Luna mumbled in a sad tone, she didn't understand why they said that to her, she didn't know what was wrong with her that made people stay away from her.

"Is there something wrong with me? Did I make a mistake? That's why they don't like me?" Luna asked innocently.

"No, you didn't do anything wrong, Luna, and there's nothing wrong with you, you understand?" Pietro convinced her, his finger on the side of Luna's face.

Luna nodded.

Pietro could see Luna's expression slowly changing to something akin to sadness, now she looked gloomy and Pietro felt sad knowing none of the Inhuman kids want to be friends with her, nobody want to give her a fair chance, if only the others spent enough time around her to see her big heart and sweet nature, Pietro was sure they would love her too.
