It was just a normal day on the moon for Kit and Nita. They had worked on homework for a while and then had chitchatted about Carmela and her latest boyfriend. Personally, Nita thought that anyone who was willing to date 'Mela had a lot of guts, but from the way Kit was describing him, he sounded timid. She idly bounced a stone in her hand while Kit talked about how annoying Carmela could be. She had heard this so many times she could repeat it backwards. But then, that was Kit for you, ever clueless about, well, most things. Especially Nita. She focused her attention back towards him.
Perhaps it was because Nita was busy brooding about Kit, or because Kit was too busy brooding about 'Mela, but as they left, neither one of them erased the footprints.
Nita walked into the living room and turned on the TV.
"...how could they have gotten there? Nobody seems to know but countries everywhere fear the worst. Most suspect there are aliens behind this, supported heavily by Roswell New Mexico."
Following the reporters message there was a blurry picture of footprints on the moon.
"Oh. My. Gosh." Nita immediately called Kit and together they went to Tom's.
The good news? Tom managed to convince the news that it was just the lighting in the picture. The bad? Kit and Nita were forbidden to go to the moon for pleasure for the next month. All this because Nita had been too focused on Kit, who seemed to be focused on anything but Nita. Somehow, she knew that it would be a lot harder to resolve that issue than it was to sort out the moon prints.
