25 The Moon's Story

The black night sky was reflecting the moon's beautiful light. It was amazing. Stars were scattered around as they shone brightly. Down on the grassy field, a man and a child laid. They looked up at the sky with big bright smiles on their faces.

The little girl turned to her father. "Why does the moon look so lonely?"

That question had always bothered the girl. She wondered how the moon was surrounded by stars but looked lonely.

"That's because she used to love someone."

The little girl was confused. "She loved someone?"

He nodded. "But that someone betrayed her and left her alone. You see the stars? They are her tears."

The stars twinkled a shiny colour. Elsa smiled as her eyes were fixed on the moon. If she ever gets to go into the sky and see the moon close to herself, she would never leave her alone.

The moon has always been something that she was so interested in. It was mysterious and lonely. Even if the stars surrounded it, the moon would still be lonely.

"Father?" She called, not taking her eyes of the moon.

"Yes?"

"If I were to meet the moon, I would never leave her alone."

The man let out a laugh as he hugged his daughter. "But if you did that, I would be lonely. And so would your mother."

Elsa faced her father with a grin. "Then father and mother can come with me. We would live with the moon and go on great adventures together." Her voice was filled with excitement.

The man could only smile at her. "But you would have to fight the monsters."

"There are monsters?" She questioned.

"Yes. Like the tickle monster!" With a grin, the man started tickling Elsa. It was one of her weaknesses that was always used against her. Her laughter echoed through the sky. The moon smiled as the laughter filled its ears. Someday, the one she loved, would come back. And then, she would never be alone, ever again.

Elsa was lost in her thoughts with a smile. She was holding the journal tightly as the door opened. Finally, after sometime snooping around in the room, they had decided to get out.

She strolled down the corridors with a big grin. She had remembered when she and her father had gone outside to see the stars. Her mother wasn't too keen on letting them go. But with persuasion, they were allowed. The smile grew wider. It was one of her favourite times with her father.

Jack walked beside her with confusion on his face. He stared at Elsa who looked like she was daydreaming.

"Hey. Elsa?" He called, snapping his fingers in front of her face.

The princess shook her head and faced Jack with utter confusion. "Huh? What?"

"You were literally in another world. What is with you and daydreaming?"

The two kept walking once again. Elsa's smile was still plastered into her face. "I was just remembering something."

Jack put his hands in his pockets. "Were you thinking about your father?"

It was just as if he could read her mind. But that wasn't possible. Unless her thoughts were being transmitted into his mind, which still sounds impossible.

Elsa nodded. "We would always go outside and see the stars. It was my favourite thing to do." Well, other than eating food that is. 

"You like seeing stars?" Elsa nodded again. Jack had something on his mind as he smiled.
