A 10-year-old Danny was waiting for his mom and dad to come up from the basement so that they could take him to the Observatory to look at the stars like they promised they would. Danny was sitting by the door waiting for one of his parents to show up. He always loved looking at the stars, dreaming off flying off to see them up close. Danny sat there looking at the door for a half hour before his mother showed up.
"Mom are we going now," Danny said jumping up and following Maddie around the kitchen while she searched for more tools
"Not now sweetie. When we are done, we are going to take you." Maddie said turning around with a smile on her face. Danny nodded d before walking to the living room. He climbed the couch and turned on the television. An hour later his father came out the basement. Danny jumps to his feet and ran over to the large man.
"Are you done with work yet.?" Danny asked a smile on his face at the thought of finally getting to look see stars through a telescope.
"Sorry Danny, not yet but almost," Jack said before running up the stairs. Danny sighed before moving back to the couch. For the next few hours this process would repeat, each time they would say not yet, or when we are done. Now it was 5 o'clock. Danny had a small tear running down his face.
That's when the front door opened. Jazz walked in waving back at a car they had just pulled away. Jazz closed the door the moved toward the steps. She stops when she heard a tiny sob. Looking over she saw Danny curled into a ball crying quietly in his lap. Jazz moved over to her brother sitting down next to him.
"Hey, Danny what's wrong?" Jazz asked putting a hand on his back.
"They didn't take me. They said they would but they didn't take me." Danny said, crying a little harder. Jazz was about to say something when she notices her parents coming up from the lab. They both moved past them not even noticing the crying boy on the couch. Jazz frowned at them before turning back to her brother.
"Where were, they supposed to take you, Danny?"
"The observatory to look through a telescope. I would be able to see the stars better." Danny said. The frown on Jazz deepened.
"Hey, Danny want to go to my friend, Amy's house. She has a small telescope that you might be able to use." Jazz said. Amy was one of the Jazz's friends from school who wanted to explore the world when she got older.
Danny let a small smile come across his face. He nodded his head.
"Alright then go get ready, then we will leave." Jazz said standing up off the couch. Danny jumped down and ran upstairs with a smile on his face. 10 minutes later Danny came downstairs cleaned up. Jazz was standing by the door. She opened the door and held out her hand and soon the two were walking to Amy's house.
Danny was skipping the way there while Jazz was looking back every few minutes scowling at their home.
