The Light of Dusk

💙 - Wire

The daycare hadn't been too busy as of late. Every now and then Solar or Moon would have to step in when there was a rowdy kid, but it was generally quite alright.

Moon had decided that today he would talk to Ruin about the whole situation. After talking with Solar a few times and seeing his point of view and making sure he wasn't looking too deep into this.

He was just working on the computer upstairs finishing up quickly. When he walked to the balcony he saw Ruin and Earth talking. It wasn't just some chit-chat but more of a therapy session. Odd... Usually Earth takes therapy to her office Moon thinks.

He decided that it wasn't the time and just sat down with his legs over the ledge. He let his mind wander for a moment.

The ball pit is so deep now, we used to have to grab the line and fall so we didn't get hurt, but now? That issue is fixed, there is no need for the wire anymore.

The wire...

Where is it?

Moon stood up and looked at the daycare ceiling. Usually the wire drifted to one of the corners. He took another quick scan of the ceiling before finding it, it was essentially right next to him, caught on one of the fake clouds.

Moon nudged himself off the balcony and into the ball pit. Then walked over to the wire pulling it to the hook on his back. He gave it a tug for it to pull up.

I'm flying!

He had gotten so used to having his feet on the floor and walking wherever that he forgot what it was like to do this. He leaned forward to go forward. He leaned a little too far and went quite fast, throwing himself back up quickly.

"WHOAA!!" Earth exclaimed from beneath him. "I didn't know that worked!"

"I didn't think it would!" Moon yelled back.

Moon came down in front of the desk by the doors and got back to what he was doing.
