The Sky and the Cloud

Did you know that everything in nature has its own personality. The rivers and lakes are some troublesome twins. The mountains are as old as time but don't bug them too much for their age makes them sensitive to disturbance. The trees are the funnest to be around and will love to hang out with whenever you want to chill. But there's always a pair who seem so odd yet they fit perfectly together. The Sky and the Clouds.

At the time of an early begging everyone was being created and started to meet each other. When they were created they were told of the job they were trusted with and said that they were able to give themselves a name but they will always be referred to by their job title.

A sweet yet shy and caring girl with the color of the fairest shade of white and with the softest fluffiest hair you could find was born and she was told to take charge of the clouds. She decided to name herself Claudette.

Then there was this great creation whose shade of clear yet could show a variety of color was born it was told that their job was to be the sky. Although confused, the sky's the beauty mark of all things. It decided to keep the name sky for it did not wish to pick a particular name for their  variety in color.

Sky and Claudette were always together and yet they did not speak to each other. Claudette always admired Sky for their beauty and the sense of ease it brings. Along with their transparency with its emotions and how they let  everything flow.

Sky had known about Claudette's admiration but never responded to it. Sky was focused on a given job yet at times would feel empty and would wonder what was the importance of their  given duty.

One day Claudette decides that she is going to approach Sky. I mean they are neighbors for life so might as well. " Umm...SKy!" oh no that was too loud. Sky "yes." " Umm... umm... I.I..II... was wondering how your day was going?...really your day? YOUR DAY??? Who says that to the ACTUAL SKY?! . Sky" pfft...ha ha ha!" Sky is LAUGHING. OH MY I never seen Sky Laugh it's actually very sweet and is that a SMILE I see. Wow could Sky get more beautiful (catches herself that she has started to fantasize over Sky and is embarrassed).

Sky notices that Claudettes clouds turn into a shade of pink. " I'm sorry if I embarrassed you, it's just we have never talked and you ask how was my day and you do know I don't have a particular sense of time which I found very ironic and funny. I hope you forgive my random burst of laughter". Wow Sky is so polite and caring I would never see it coming. Claudette " oh! Don't worry about you just surprised that's all". They both laugh and start to talk to each other more and more.

As "time" passed these two got to know each other more and more to the point the skies would be so beautiful you wouldn't care about the weather. These two may have some bad days at times but they would always make up no matter what it was.

By meeting Claudette Sky no longer felt loneliness and felt pride by being the protector and the beauty of the world. In the end these two stayed together forever never to be separated.
