Moon.
"Wyyybornnnne!" The old, rickety voice echoed around the valley, down to where two best friends--- a boy and a girl--- were playing.
"Whoa," The girl said, surprised as she looked around. "That time already?"
"Mmm…" said the boy, noticing the quickly fading daylight as the sun dipped beneath the clouds over the hilltop. Looking up at the giant dome that made the sky, he saw the moon make her gradual ascent into the sky. "Full moon tonight."
Coraline stared at him. "What are you, an astronomer?"
Wybie shrugged, still looking up at the moon. "My dad taught me some stuff."
"…Oh." She looked at him, trying not to appear concerned. But the fact was, Coraline had never seen Mr. Lovat before, and Wybie never spoke of him. Staring up at the bright white moon herself, Coraline couldn't help but remember an almost identical moon, that slowly, steadily began to be covered by the large shadow of a button...
"After tonight, it's gonna start on its waning period, down to a fingernail."
Coraline shivered.
"You cold?"
Coraline shook her head mutely, but Wybie understood her scrunched eyes and curled expression, her arms wrapped tightly around herself.
"Sorry." He said genuinely.
"Lets just go. See ya tomorrow."
"I'll come with," offered Wybie. "My bike's still at your place anyways."
"Sure."
The two set out towards home, guided even in the dark by the pale moonlight.
