Author´s note: My own take on that gorgeous film Nocturna, respecting as much as possible of course. Ideas are more than welcome as well as questions and reviews so fear not and let´s take this one high!

Nocturna is property of its rightful owners as well as the songs used in this fanfiction.

1. Late Night Song

Tim lays on the ceiling of his orphanage, crayons in hand, giving life to the creatures in the stars below that he copies from the book by his side. One after another, the whole place shines in colours but a single figure stands over the others: the star Adhara.

A soft meaow curls through the chimneys as a stripped cat walks around the place. His eyes fixed on the pictures until a bell is heard.

"It´s time" Tim gets up and after picking up his things, heads for the corridors below where all children get ready for bed. The feline walks amongs the shadows and lets the coming night turn his fur dark while in the bedrooms the pillow fight and shouting mean nothing for Tim who brushes his teeth. Tries to face the night with a smile but only when the lights are out and he is free to push his bed towards the window, ignoring the complains of the other children, he can pick the blue handler and open the wooden doors to see his favourite star in the starry sky.

A soft meaow and the boy falls asleep watched by his cat friend. The whole city slumbers while a song floats in the wind.

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

When the blazing sun is gone,

When there nothing shines upon,

Then you show your little light,

Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveler in the dark,

Thanks you for your little spark.

He could not see which way to go

iIf you did not twinkle so.

When the blazing sun is gone,

when there nothing shines upon.

Though I know not what you are,

Twinkle twinkle little star."

"Now is time to sleep, my children. And fear not for I always keep an eye on you" says the same voice who sings. A male one but gentle and soothing. As the orphanage goes quiet, a big flock of cats run through the roofs.

"Lost the things that you thought you would never miss.

Let them out, miss them while they're gone

But there's memories down here that will always live

And they can't take them away, so they won't

Open this window, let the sickness out

Sleep softly, breath again

If there's a way then it'll find you and help you out

You're like a circle, there is no start and no end.

Close your eyes, you might see something beautiful

Cause it's not all pitch black in the back your mind

So close your eyes, you might see something prettier

You pick a dream right out of the night

And change I wish, for I will, cause it's gonna work.

You can do this, it's your life

And if you're unhappy about something, stop jerking about.

Follow the clouds and dive right in.

Open this window, just let the wind blow in

And let it grab you and calm you down.

And if there is no way, then find a way,

But don't go down that easy way,

And don't let any of them bastards hold you down

Close your eyes, you might see something beautiful

Cause it's not all pitch black at the back your mind

So close your eyes, you might see something prettier

So pick a dream right out of the night

Welcome to the show,

Cause you're following the man, with a million dollar plan

And all your dreams are gone if you let them go.

And all the dreams you win, if your dare to make it so

If you dare to make it so

You lost the things that you thought you would never miss.

You let them out, miss them while they're gone

But there's memories down here that will always live down here

And they can't take them away, so they won't

Close your eyes, you might see something beautiful

Cause it's not all pitch black at the back your mind

So close your eyes, you might see something prettier

You pick a dream right out of the night

So close your eyes

You close your eyes

So close your eyes

Common close your eyes"

First take, first look.

Enjoy!
