Rosalina's Story

Chapter 6: Friends

Then one day, while the girl sat sipping tea, a tiny apricot-colored planet appeared on the horizon.

From the planet, another Luma of the same color emerged.

"Do you two know each other?!" the girl asked the two Lumas gleefully. Despite the girl's excitement, they seemed uneasy.

The two Lumas neither drew closer nor backed away from each other. Instead, they just stared.

Then one Luma broke the silence.

"My mama!"

At once, the apricot Luma parroted back, "My mama! My mama!"

"My mama!" "My mama!"

The two Lumas began to dance around the girl frantically, and neither showed any sign of stopping.

The girl was so charmed by this adorable scene that she couldn't help but laugh.

And that's when something very strange happened.

Suddenly, more Lumas began to pop out from the apricot planet. They were different colors, but they all shouted the same thing.

"My mama!" "My mama!"

The sight of all the shouting Lumas only made the girl laugh harder. "What am I going to do with all these children?!"

The Lumas just stared blankly as she doubled over laughing.

"I guess we'll have to name each and every one of you."

Tomorrow, once she had finished naming them all, she would begin moving all the Lumas into the new house.
