That night Lilly and I watched the stars for hours. I pointed out the North Star, Orion, Draco, Hercules, Hydra, and Eridanus, as well as many other constellations. I told her about the history of the planet and star names, about Pluto especially. She told me about her art, how she got inspiration, the history of art and the greatest artists. She told me about art techniques, both old and new. We talked and laughed til the sun rose. When it began to shine over the horizon we both grew silent. She put her arm around my shoulders and Iaid my head on hers. I snuggled into her as I rest my hand on her stomach and put my other hand around her back.
"Good morning." She whispered as the sun was finally over the horizon.
"Good morning." I whispered back, smiling softly.

When my watch beeped, alerting me it was seven O' clock, we both stood up to leave for school. We folded up the blanket and put it in the farmer's basket, along with a thank-you note. I grabbed a few apples and we headed to school.
