A little girl sat on window seat. Her big brown eyes gazed up at the moon. Her room was dark except for the lamp she had lit. Her nurse walked in and saw her sitting there, "Leia, I put you in bed twenty minutes ago. What are you doing up?"
"Oh, Betsu, it's so beautiful." the young child sighed passionately.
The nurse chuckled and went to sit down next to her. It was a beautiful sight. The moon and stars lighting up the garden below magically.
"Betsu, the stars are so bright tonight."
"Yes, child, they are."
"Have you ever been to all the planets, Betsu?" the child peered up at her.
"No, dear, this is my home."
"I want to go to them."
"Maybe you will- someday." the nurse whispered.
"Betsu, who am I goin'na marry someday?" Leia switched topics.
"Why do you ask, Leia?"
"Cause I wondered where he is up there." she pointed, "How will I ever find him?"
"He'll come when you need him, child." Betsu said wisely.
"Will I have to marry a prince?" Leia asked.
"Don't you want to?"
"No!" her answer was firm, "Princes are boring and stuck up."
"Some are." Betsu agreed. "Who would you want to marry?"
"Someone e'citing. Like a pirate or a space pilot."
"Maybe you will."
"You sure he'll be able to find me?" Leia asked worriedly.
"Yes, honey, someday when you're not expecting him, you'll find him."
"How will I know it's him?"
"You'll know."
Betsu sat with Leia in her lap for sometime until the child was quiet. Betsu saw she was asleep, and gently carried her over to bed. She tucked the purple cover under Leia's chin, and kissed her lightly on the cheek.
"Goodnight, little princess."
She blew the light out, and walked down the hall.
