A little girl with a blue, sleeveless sleeping gown found herself in a strange, yet familiar place, in front of her was a woman, she could not see her face as her back was facing the little girl, the woman was wearing a blue, long sleeved dress, she had long blonde curls and a golden grown encrusted with jewels adorning her head.
"Where are you going?" The little girl asked the woman's retreating back
Without turning, she replied "Don't fret, dearest. I'm not going anywhere. I'm always watching over you, like the sun in the day and the moon in the night."
A wave of sadness washed over the girl's face, she recognised this woman, it was her mother and she (May) was the little girl. Clutching her stuffed torchic, she hurried over at her side and hugged her as if she would never see her again "What about when it rains and I can't see the sun or the moon"
Her mother thought for a moment before responding "I will turn into a star in the clouds and wait for your tears to dry" after saying that, her mother started to banish, everything was blurry to May, when she opened her eyes her face was damped with tears.
Apparently her cries awakened Luma and Drew, both hurried over to her to ask if she was okay and that question only made her cry more.
As Drew watched her cry more he hugged her, she may be annoying to him at times, but something inside his heart told him to hug her, and by doing that all harm would go away, Luma joined the hug too.
"You have star bits in your eyes" said Luma, trying to make her feel better. "This are not star bits" replied May wiping away her tears."I'm crying because I'll never see my mother ever again!" At this Luma began to cry, remembering that they hadn't found her mother yet.
"Mama, oh, mama...waaaa!"
Drew only hugged them closer to him, soon both stopped crying and fell asleep. He stayed there just in case May had another unpleasant dream, he couldn't help but think how cute she looked while sleeping. After a while, his eyes felt heavy and he fell asleep next to them.
Some days passed by after May's dream, they kept traveling through space, encountering many comets, but none of them held Luma's mother.
May was outside the spaceship, sitting on a chair on the turquoise comet, holding Luma close to her, seeing Luma about to cry because the search was failing so far, she told her "Now now Luma, the rain clouds won't go away if you keep crying" May gave her a reassuring squeeze "I'll give you a present if you stop" she closed her eyes and said gently "I'll take care of you" with these words the brunette felt a spark in her heart, so did Drew who was watching them from the spaceship's window.
