Lucy watched as the people of earthland set up for the annual Lunar Eclipse festival. Brightly colored streamers and banners being hung up on shops and streetways. parks being filled with picnic blankets and all manner of games and activities. People milling around from place to place, all of them sporting big smiles on their faces. She watched it all from her place in the small room where she spent most of her days watching over these same people. But today was different. For today was the day before a Lunar Eclipse.

Lucy couldn't help but let a huge smile slip onto her face. She was just too excited for the night to come where she could finally see her dear friend and lover, Rogue, whose job was to watch over the people of earthland in the night.

It had only been one year since the two had met during a Lunar Eclipse. Lucy could remember how happy she had felt at having a companion instead of watching the nights festivities alone. The two had talked and observered the whole time and throughout it all Lucy had found herself falling more and more for Rogue. And she later learned that the same had happened to him as well.

It was right as the sun had come out of hiding from behind the moon that the two had in a way admited their feelings for one another through one single kiss.

Lucy rememebred every detail of that moment and replayed it in her head daily. The way her lips had felt against his cool ones. How her hand had melded perfectly into his. But mostly she rememebered how it was all over way too quickly. It was only minutes later the two had to part ways and go back to just barley missing one another each night when the sun set and the moon took its rightful place in the sky.

The days following, Lucy often found her mind wondering to that one kiss. Not the kiss itself but the person she shared it with. There had been several times she had made comments to herself about just how ridiculous all of it was. Or even every once in a while wondered how her friends would react to such a thing. And when she thought of this, her mind then strayed to the idea of what would be like if this had happened while they were both "alive". As soon as these thoughts entered her mind she quickly dismissed them away.

Lucy found herself walking towards the small table near one of the many couches in the observation room. She carefully opened the top drawer and pulled out a stack of neatly folded papers. After settling down on the couch closest to the window she started to reread the pages. Each page consisted of two paragraphs each. One in her writing, and the other in Rogues hand. Both paragraphs consisted of what the two thought or had seen during their time in the room. It was maybe four months after the two had met, that Rogue had come up with the idea of writing back and forth. Lucy thought the idea was brillaint and whole heartily began writing down everything she would have said if Rogue had been beside her during her "shift".

She leafed through the pile glancing at each paper, and catching glimpses of their continuous conversations. Her eyes lit up coming across the few where Rogue had gotten bored during his shift and drew random pictures in the margins. He had wrote next to his first illistration, which was of a man who he had seen fallen alseep in a tree, and near several of his others that she was lucky to be the one to see the day. For in his opinion the night was boring,which is why he resorted to drawing instead of writing. She had countered back stating that he was the one who was lucky since the few times he did write down his observations they were always about acts of ludicrasy that people had done. He then in an attempt to prove her wrong had written a play by play of what went on during his shift and even though she had to admit its contents were indeed boring, the way he had written them made it amusingly exciting to read.

Lucy continued to look back over their conversations till it was almsot time for the festival to begin. The people down below had started up the games and festivities. This year it seemed they decided to hold a tournament of sorts where contestants went up against one another in sculpting scenes depicting the sun and moon. There were some very impressive ones, she had to admit.

It was about half way through the competition that the eclipse began. Laterns were lit and everyone watched as the moon made its way it fornt of the sun. Not eve two minutes after it began to cover the sun, did lucy find a fmailiar presence beside her and the cool touch of skin against her hand.

She looked over and was met with the sight of ruby red eyes staring into hers. She felt her breath catch momentarily, for she had forgotten just how intense those eyes were.

"Lucy your staring"

"Huh?"

Rogue smiled a bit at her. Oh how she had missed seeing that smile.

" You were staring", he replied.

Lucy smiled back and waved her hand a bit, " Is it so worng for me to stare for a moment after not seeing you for six months?" she asked sarcastically.

Rogue replied by pulling her into a close embrace. Lucy felt her face heat up a bit at the gesture, making Rogue laugh softly.

The two looked out the window, watching the rest of the nights events unfold. Rogue watched with great interest as the artisains in the sculpting contest worked on their peices. He occasionally would make comments on each ones techniques and about how he might have used a different method were he to have entered.

This comment then started a new conversation topic the two had been careful to avoid. What the two of them had done when they were still among those in Earthland.

( A.N: hewo! so this is kind of short i know and its not over, i have another part im going to add to this. its just that the other part with Lucy and Rogue's backstories was getting kind of long and i didnt know where to break it off at. so that will be a whole chapter in itself instead of part of this one. I hope this is alright for a second part to " How the Sun Loved the Moon". i really love this story idea and the poem/quote i based it off of. Anyway please let me know what you think and if you would even enjoy reading about their pasts. i know its not the best story to write a sequal to but i couldnt let the idea go. \0.0/ An update on my other stories, i am finsihing up the next chapter for "Capturing the Moment" and should be able to post it (hopefully! ) by next weekend. As for my other story " Unexpected Muse" , which i havent updated in forever, im still contemplating on whether or not to continue with it. i have some ideas of what to do with it but i dont know how well it would turn out. Last but not least for the "Daydreams" series i will (again hopefully!) be putting up part three next week as well. :) As always please read and review and thankyou for reading this super long update notice! ~Observer)
