AN: Meh, I shall probably only get one reader for this, but it's FOR her, so who cares?
Miguel looked into a pair of big brown eyes. Aura looked into a pair of big blue ones. The stars were shining, and the moon was high in the sky. The floating fortress that had before seemed like a levitating prison, now glided through the sky like a cloud, an enchantress and a young soldier both hanging out of one of the windows, microscopic against the massive form of the Vione.
"… So, Chesta ended up with this massive bruise, and Guimel had to be his slave in secret for about a week to make it up to him."
"It sounds like you have a lot of fun here, Miguel." Said Aura, leaning out the window, looking down into the tiny world below.
"I have my share of rough times too, you know." He said, putting a hand through his dark brown hair.
Aura smiled. "I'm sure." She sighed. "The moon's huge tonight."
"Like the first night we met, huh."
"Yes… Oh God, do you remember how fun that was?" She laughed.
"Mmm." He remembered all right. How could he forget? The moon had been as big as the sun was by day. It hung in the sky… Like a big slice of pie, as he remembered she put it. She'd appeared out of nowhere, and asked for directions.
"Um, excuse me, but can I have a moment of your time?" I dismissed the voice as Shesta or Gatty being annoying. "HEY!" I sat up.
"What do you-" And there she was. Sitting in my window, stars behind her like little sparkly angels. "…want?"
"I'm a little lost. You don't know the way to the nearest information centre do you?"
"In…For…mation centre?" I was dumbstruck. What was she doing here?
"Oh never mind. I can just teleport anyway." She sighed. I wished I could help her. She looked at me. The stars were sparkling in her eyes. "Hey… What's your name?"
"M-Miguel."
"Isn't that Spanish?"
"Sp-Span…ish?"
"Oh never mind… It's an earth thing."
Miguel kept asking her what Earth was, but she would never tell him. It was just another thing that made her so secretive and mysterious.
"Aura?"
"Yes?"
"What's Earth?"
"You ask me this every night."
"I'm very persistent."
"No you're not." She smiled. O course you're not. You'd never do anything to upset anyone. Complete pushover. But God you are handsome…
"Fine. But one day you'll have to tell me."
"Course."
The moon started to sink, and Miguel sadly watched as it disappeared, and the sun rose. Another sleepless night. Oh well…
"well, that's my cue." Said Aura, standing in the window frame. "I'll see you tomorrow night then?"
"I'll be waiting."
"Hah. You always are!"
And with that, she stepped off the window sill. He ran over to see where she fell, but there was no sign of her. He smiled. Bye Aura.
He went back to bed, and tried to scrounge a few more needed minutes of sleep.
