Lying on their backs, Cleo and Lewis gazed up at the stars. Cleo's hair blanketed out around her face and tickled Lewis's cheek.

"The stars are so beautiful tonight," Cleo smiled.

"And look," Lewis observed, pointing at a formation of stars, "There's Aquarius."

"What?" Cleo asked.

"Aquarius, the constellation."

"Oh, right. We learned about that in astronomy," Cleo searched the night sky with her eyes, "But, I don't see it."

"See?" Lewis asked as he took her hand in his and directed her in the position of the stars.

"Lewis, all I see are a bunch of stars," Cleo laughed, turning her head to face him.

Lewis couldn't help but smile and stare into Cleo's deep brown eyes. Almost unconsciously, their faces moved closer to each other. Cleo's cheeks flushed as her eyes moved down to Lewis' lips.

Their eyes met skittishly, afraid to hold each other's stare for too long. Soon Cleo closed her eyes and melted into heaven.

Gingerly, their lips touched. Invisible lightning coursed through their bodies. Tongues intertwined, but for only a moment, while they were caught in their own secret haven. Their heads leaned back onto clouds as they slowly pulled away.

Who would have thought that so much could happen in a single moment that had only lasted three seconds long?

Silently, Cleo and Lewis rolled onto their backs, staring back up at the stars. Suddenly, Cleo didn't seem worried about anything. The fact that Lewis was constantly testing her mermaidness didn't matter anymore. And the kiss had proved it. Her cheeks blushed again, but this time only of happiness. And so they lie there relaxed and let their natural happy high fade away.

Silence consumed the cave, except for the chirping of crickets. Lewis glanced over at Cleo. Her eyelids batted slowly; she was drifting into sleep. Lewis pulled her hand into his. This action woke Cleo up, but only enough to smile at Lewis and nod back off.

A caring smile grew across Lewis' face as he joined her in dreamland.
