It was a silent night at the ship and it was floating silently in the galaxy. Sometimes I heard the sound of meteors cross the sky. I kept on looking out and imagined having wings so I could fly further up in the sky. How the wind would blow my baby hairs behind my ears and how my cheeks would turn red. I chuckled by the thought.
"Pretty night sky don't you think?"
I turned surprised around and saw Jim and in his hands his mop was. He had probably just finished mopping the floor.
"Hey Jim," I said and sighed. "Yeah.. it is."
"What are you day- I mean night dreaming about?" He smirked and walked over to the edge and watched the sky with me.
"Dreaming? What do you mean?"
"Oh don't give me that.. 'what do you mean'." He chuckled.
"Oh god.. was it really that obvious?"
He burst out laughing and nodded.
"It was!"
"I wasn't really dreaming so much. I was just thinking.."
"Thinking about?"
"Jesus! Why are you so curious?" I smiled and couldn't hide a giggle.
"Because I wanna know you better!"
I shook my head.
"What's inside my head stays inside my head."
"Probably dreaming about me," he said with a raised eyebrow and dirty voice.
"Stop it! Geez!" I exclaimed and we both laughed.
I looked out again and was about to say something when Jim suddenly interrupted me.
"Shh! A shooting star. Look!"
He pointed up in the sky and I saw it. It flew rapidly through the sky and I shut my eyes and crossed my fingers.
"I wish I wish with all my heart," I muttered.
After opening my eyes again I saw Jim had crossed his arms and gave me a smirk.
"What did you wish for?"
"Nothing special," I said with a wink. "Go ahead and try and guess."
"Not fair!" He exclaimed.
I started walking, but he kept following me around while complaining about not knowing my wish. It was a stupid wish anyway..
I wished..
That I had gotten wings..
