Jake looked at Tom, stunned, was he serious?
He laughed nervously.
.

Jake:You're joking right?

Tom:Why would i be?

Jake:But we can't leave, there's our strings that don't allow us to go anywhere far from the circus!

Tom:Well, maybe not if we don't leave from above.

.
Jake thought of it, and indeed they never tried to go far from the circus by flying upwards, yet of course how could they even fly all the way to the moon.
.

Jake:I guess, yet tell me now how can we get to the moon in the first place?

Tom:I uhm, are you okay with this?

.
Jake was about to ask until Tom grabbed him and held him close, that surprised the mummy but he liked it.
.

Tom:Hold tight.

Jake:I am, what are you going to do?

.
And with one jump Tom managed to fly them up in the sky, Jake yelled in a short panic, he hugged Tom tight, so tightly in fear of being dropped.
But looking up Jake saw the gorgeous stars shining everywhere around them, he had stars in his eyes himself, the sight was just jaw dropping, soon they arrived to the moon, it was extraordinary in Jake's eyes, they finally got close enough and landed on it, placing their feet on the rocky surface of the moon together.
.

Tom:Here we are, so..

.
Tom was interrupted by Jake grabbing his arms and pulling him with him, he was laughing, smiling widely.. Crying?
.

Tom:Jake are you okay!? You're crying!

Jake:These are tears of joy, i finally landed on the moon!

.
Jake began to run around and spin as he cheered, Tom admired him having such fun, the thought that he had just granted one of Jake's wishes made him happy.
He really loved the mummy so much it was impossible for him to not grant all his wishes.
Tom walked over Jake who ran towards him and squeezed him into a hug, Tom hugged him back, after a bit they separated and looked at each other, they held each other close as they began dancing, Jake rested his chin on Tom's shoulder while they did.
They began having a small conversation.
.

Tom:So, i'm honestly curious why you wanted to go to the moon so bad.

Jake:I always have, even when i was still alive myself, it was one of my biggest dreams as a child, i always wanted to go to the moon with my siblings.

Tom:Really?

Jake:Yeah, we used to call it the big white ball in the sky.

Tom:Looks like it isn't white afterall.

.
Jake laughed, while talking, Jake had noticed how much improvements Tom made on dancing, twirling Jake around, knowing how to move freely, like he knew how to dance.
.

Jake:Hey you're getting good at dancing, just the yesterday you were all stiff dancing, how did you learn so much?

Tom:Well i might've asked Ashley and Will for some help and taught me a bit more how to dance.

Jake:Aw! That must've been fun.

Tom:Well uh..

.
Tom was a bit embarrassed to tell Jake about it but the memory was also funny.
.
.
.

Ashley:Let's go come on! One! Two! Three! And twirl!

.
Ashley yelled as Will spun Tom around, causing him to get a bit nauseous over the amounts of times they made him twirl around so he could learn how to do the same trick.
.

Will:Are we sure it's not enough already how much we re-taught him the twirling move Ashley? He doesn't look so good.

Tom:Ugh, i'm fine, and i suppose i've got the hang of it about the twirl move.

Ashley:Are you sure or is your head exploding?

Tom:Probably both, i might take a small break before we can try again.

Ashley:Alright, take your time to rest bud!

.
Tom sat down to rest, he asked Ashley and Will for help because he wanted to try and learn a bit more on how to dance, maybe if next time he'll be able to dance with Jake if they wanted to, he was surprised that Jake was the first person he thought of when he thought about dancing with a partner.
.

Ashley:Alright Tom, ready to try and see if you finally learned something?

Tom:Uh sure i guess.

.
This time it was Ashley dancing with Tom, though Tom was a bit uncomfortable he knew it was just for practice so he tried to not let that bother him, as they danced together Ashley noticed how better he was getting, she was impressed.
.

Tom:OW!

.
Tom yelled out in pain, Ashley had accidentally stepped hard on his foot, she immediately apologized while laughing nervously.
.
.
.

Tom:Not sure what Ashley's heels are made of but they hurt, my foot is still a bit bruised because of those hard things.

.
Jake tried to hold his laughter at the thought of what Tom just told him, but he still felt worried for him.
.

Jake:Dear heavens, does it still hurt now?

Tom:Not as much as it did before.

Jake:I hope it gets better soon.

Tom:Yeah.

Jake:I really wish i could stay here forever, it's so peaceful and gorgeous here.

Tom:Have you seen the best part yet?

.
Jake was confused, Tom pointed over to the sky and when Jake looked over to the place he was pointing his eyes widened when he saw the earth from so far away, it was so breathtaking to see it from this far.
.

Jake:Oh my goodness.. This is so.. incredible!

.
Jake yelled, running off to take a better look of it from a far, Tom ran after him so he couldn't lose him.
.

Tom:Don't run so fast, i might lose you!

Jake:Too bad you might just have to look for me all around the moon if so.

.
Jake teased again.
.

Tom:Ah you-

.
Tom picked up Jake and squeezed him in a hug, the two laughed, enjoying such a lovely time together.
.
.
.
They were sat down while gazing at the earth from far away and the stars surrounding them, Jake rested his head on Tom's shoulder again as he stared at the earth and the stars, meanwhile Tom wasn't really paying attention to anything more than the mummy right next to him, he didn't know what got into him but he wanted to hold his hand, yet he didn't want to make Jake uncomfortable so he just moved his finger close to the mummy's, when Jake noticed he slid his hand over Tom's and squeezed it as he smiled warmly, his cheeks blushing.
Tom was blushing too, furiously to be clear, he calmed himself down and rested his head on Jakes as they went back to gazing at the stars together.
