When the Day met the Night

Panic! at the Disco

Jelsa

The young boy poked his sleeping mother by the shoulder and kept on groaning stubbornly, "Ma, let's go outside! come ooooooooonn!"

The mother stirred and without opening her eyes, she slurred "The sky is still dim," the boy stump his foot in annoyance, "The sky is awake now, Ma, please~eeeeeeeeeee!"

The good mother opened both eyes and without warning, she bolted to the door, happily yelling "Race you to the garden, the slowest are a rotten egg" The boy laughed and ran after her.

The merriment of the People brought him so much joy. It's like their jovial laughter is their way to thank his bright blessings.

Jack loves his job so much.

Bringing daylights and delights throughout the whole universe, making the cycle of life. Children will play and Adults will work.

He sneaks through every open window as the children look yonder and smile for the beginning of the day. Not only is his job bringing Light to the universe but also the Fun. His favorite part of it all.

Just like his occupation, His sunny demeanor contrasted his personality and his love for children. Also, he is rather mischievous at his immortal age. He'd been fond messing with Easter, it all started when Jack refuse to bring any sunshine to the flowers for 6 months of time, he'll only provide if Easter confess that Jack is powerful than him, in to which the Day's amusement, Easter gave up. But that doesn't mean Jack has to stop, thus creating a continuum and then winter was born.

Easter wasn't glad. Wasn't glad at all.

Jack is all but curiosity. He often stare at how mortals lived, how the flowers Bloom and why did he have to go to different places?

His curiosity increased when Jack overheard the mother as she carried her little boy, "Do we have to go home now?" he whined and stifle a yawn.

The mother only smiled, "Yes, Dear, for the Night will be arriving soon and would give you a gift of Goodnight."

The boy clapped his hands together and merrily asks his mother, "Ma, Will the Night stay for Supper?" the good mother gently nods, "Yes. And she'll be watching us too."

Jack wanted to ask the Mother, if only she could see him. He wanted to ask more about the Night. Is there really such thing more powerful than him? He shivered.

Curiosity got the best of him.

He went to many houses and eavesdropped for potential answers. All he gathered was that the so called 'Night' is a lot like him; bringer of light, but unlike the Sun, the night protects the Moon. He wondered. Why didn't he ever saw the Night? What is this they call 'Moon'? What does it looks like?

And what are these creatures of the Night 'Stars'?

He wanted to know so much. But his time is limitless; he has to go to a different country.

"Ma, Did the Sun ever saw the Moon?" Jack's ears perked up just as he was leaving one day.

"Hmm," The mother scratch her head and search for a compatible answer, "Not that I know, The Sun will go before the Moon comes. Now off to home! You little bugger," The good mother didn't know how to answer that if her son did ask her that again.

No, he never met the Night. Why?

The sun goes away before the moon could come. That's it! He would stay a little and simply to catch a glimpse of the Night. Even if he creates a disturbance, he will dare.

So one day, just before he could go, he forces his whole strength to stop his lights to go and waited a little while. He hid and let his discoveries unfold.

A moment or so, he felt his skin colder, the sky were becoming a hue of black and violet. Then a blinding light almost shook his vision. He squinted his eyes and let his hands cover them slightly. And what he saw almost made his heart jump.

This fine creature, look warily at her surroundings, like she'd known something was different. Her blue gown shone like the everlasting sky-no, better than the Sky itself. He was sure that he saw snowflakes were woven in them and the fateful Stars followed her trail.

So that's the Stars!

Her eye is a pair of mesmerizing icy-blue oblivion, a wonderful trap in her gaze. Her Hair, oh how the golden-white straws shall envy her. Almost white as his own. It cascaded down to her back. On her head laid a crown with a symbol of the crescent moon.

Wow.

He almost stumbles before her. Only that her Eyes saved his flickering light that was threatening to burn out. Once she saw him, she came further and her sweet, melodious voice rung through his ears "Are you alright?" was then the first thing she said.

"I-.. I'm Fine, Are you the Night?"

She nods meekly and with a smile, "I am Elsa."

His eyes never leaving her sight, "Beautiful."

"Ma, do you see that? What is it?"

The boy gently pulled the hem of his mother's dress and looked above. Like the other people did when they saw a strange current was happening.

The good mother glorify her smile and said, "The Day has finally met the Night"

And this all had happened in the middle of summer.
