"Lunas! Where are you, boy?"

Fred shouted, searching for the small 10 year old boy he was playing hide and seek with. He had promised Lunas to play hide and seek with him if he did a great performance that day, and he did. So now Fred was searching all over the circus grounds for the little boy...but with no luck.

It was getting really late and Fred had told Linda to help searching for the little miracle boy.

They searched everywhere. At the horse stables, in the changing cabins, inside the circus tent, in the photo booths. No where to be found. No where on the circus grounds at least.

"Clever boy.."

Fred spoke to himself as he found the small boy asleep, curled up in a ball on a few blankets under this tiny cave like thing. It was outside the circus grounds and a good 5 minute walk to get there. How come they never thought of searching there? It was practically Lunas his favorite spot to be alone at.

"Lunas, boy, wake up."

Lunas opened his eyes and yawned, stretching his small limbs as he looked at Fred.

"Pa.."

He whined when Fred picked him up but quickly fell asleep again in Fred's arms. Fred walked all the way back to the circus and placed Lunas's sleeping body ontop on Linda's lap. She softly combed her fingers through Lunas's soft hair as he slept.

"Where'd you find him, Frederic?"

Linda asked Fred. Fred simply replied with a short explanation of where Lunas's clever hiding spot was.

They both laughed it off and then Linda put Lunas in his bed and tucked him in like a tiny baby. Lunas stayed asleep the entire time. Linda's touch was so soft. Lunas loved Linda's touch like it was the touch of his own mother that he never knew.
