Young Winston/Young Reader

"You visit the moon station and become best friends with one of its inhabitants. After you leave, Specimen 28 is not paying attention in class.

Guess he misses you."

(L/N): Last name
(F/N): Father's name
(F/L): First letter of your name

Mrs. Rhed is completely made up.

"I miss you."

"I miss you too, honey."

Your father is a scientist in the Horizon Lunar Colony. Once a year, the staff are allowed to bring someone from Earth for one month, whether they are a relative or friend. Children under four years and seniors over ninety-two aren't allowed, unless that senior is in perfect condition. Your father felt you were old enough to travel up there, and since you both grew tired of video contact and missed each other very much, he quickly arranged your flight to space. Your mother was against it at first, but your father assured her that everything was going to be fine.

You were excited, nervous, and all too curious on what was in store for you on the moon. Once there, you were immediately embraced by your dad and greeted by his co-workers, all wearing lab coats.

A man stands in front of you; the sides of his head have shades of white hair. "Hi there, (Y/N). I'm Dr. Winston. But you can just call me Harold. It's a pleasure to meet you," he states with a smile.

He offers his hand to match your height. You shyly shake it with a small grin. He speaks again.

"And how old are you, young lady?"

"Seven," you reply in a soft, yet confident tone.

Your father chimes in. "My little girl. Growing up so fast."

He then ruffles the top of your head while the others chuckle at your cute demeanor.

"Well," Harold began. "You're older than our friends here in the colony. But I'm sure you'll get along. Would you like to meet them?"

You nod quickly. Your father had told you of baby gorillas and chimps living here. He said something about them being genetic or smart... or whatever. You just wanted to see monkeys! Holding your dad's hand, he and the doctor guided you throughout the massive station and into a mini obstacle course. On the walls were handholds and footholds to grip on, along with tire swings hanging from the ceiling. It looked fun, but difficult to play for a human kid.

// Don't mind Genji's hand, lol. It was the only clear picture I could find.

"Where are the monkeys?" you ask, letting go of your father's hand before walking to the middle of the floor.
