Mr. Duog parked the cart on the hallway corner.  Then headed straight to the kitchen.   "Let's see what I make these crazy American's to eat. To think there are twelve months and they picked the month of the Harvest.  Every ten years, the Pombero does his rounds.   It's only a myth but, I surely bring a woman to the Amazon during his season." the butler muttered to himself as he fixes up a couple of sandwiches while the coffee maker made the coffee.

"I can't understand why his father didn't advice to make the trip on a different month.  Oh, well, all well that ends well.  Hopefully, it ends well. Beside's I've never saw one myself and I've lived here all my life." he thought as he headed up the stairs.     H knocked on the door softly.  "You may come in, sir," said Lyonna with a smile.

"I've fix you a couple of sandwiches, a bowl of fruit and of course the coffee you two requested," he said as he entered placing the try on a small table.  "Wow, this looks all so amazing.  Thank you Mr. Buog." she said   "No, madam, my name is Mr.Duog and you are so welcome.  Now if you don't need my services any longer, may I be excused?" he asked   "Sure, thanks for everything." said Justin   "Your welcome sir.  When you're done eating please place your trays on the cart outside of your door.  Have a good night sir, madam." said Mr. Duog then he stepped out the bedroom locking the door behind him.

"I don't get you," said Lyonna as they both sat on the sets, and proceeded to start eating.  "What do you mean?" Justin asked   "You were mean to him early and now you so nice. What's up with that?" she asked   "Don't know.  Something he pisses me off and sometimes he doesn't.  It's my thing, pay it no mind and eat your food." he replied 

"Fine, but I still think it's weird," she replied  When they were done with their sandwich, they poured about cup of coffee then walked towards the balcony, to glances at the bright stars. "Wow so great out here.  The sky is so bright.  I can do without all those creatures of the night making all that noise.  But its still beautiful out here." said Lyonna was she lights up a cigarette and enjoys the view.

Justine walked behind her embracing her.  "You are so right it is beautiful," he whispered  As they both admired the view, a shimmer of sparkling light appeared in the sky.   The bright sparkles came out of a bright star.  The shimmers of light came down landing on the top of the tallest trees.   "Honey, are you seeing this?" Lyonna asked    "Yes, what's is that?" he replied  "Can answer that.  Look, the shimmers of light landed on the tall trees." she explained   "How far do you think that is from here?" he replied  "Don't know, but if you want to find out, I'm down for the adventure." said Lyonna with a giggle of excitement.

"Are you sure?  Remember this is the Amazon," said Justin with a grin, hoping she changed her mind.  He really was tired and stuff.   All he wanted to do now was sleep.  But no, "Hurry, put some clothes on." she said quickly changing her clothes and slippers.  "I'm ready when you are," she said within minutes.    Justin got dressed too, "I guess, let's go." he replied

"Should we tell Mr. Duog that we are going for a walk?" she asked   "No, let him rest, he kind of old.  He's been around since I was very young and he still looks the same.  Ain't that something?" Justin said with a smile.  "Are you sure he won't get upset?" she asked   "Girl remember he works for my dad.  We don't answer to him." he replied as he looked in the cabinets for flashlights.   He found two.  Give his girl one and he used the other.  They went out the front door, closely softly and placing a large stone between the door to keep it open until they return.

The walked through the Amazon jungle, with their flashlight in hand.  "Sweet, try to stay close to me and don't scream nor make any type of sound.  I really don't know what's out here. Oh, make sure you follow the yellow path.  This will make sure we don't pass the boundaries of our lands." Justin explained as they slowly walked down the yellow path.

"Don't worry, I'm brave but not that brave, I'm sticking to you like glue baby," she replied as she quickly grabbed his hand.  "Oh, how romantic," he said as he stares at her hand then smile.

As they walked further into the jungle, the shimmers of light that were sprinkled over the tall trees were getting larger and brighter.   "What do you think it is? Do you think is a meteor that fell from space?" Lyonna said for the shimmers of light fascinating.

"We'll find out when we get closer.  Now stop talking, you are kind of loud," he said as they tiptoe closer to the bright lights.
