This complex lady and her friends belong to Takeuchi Naoko. I just asked if they could play for a while.
A captured sun
Haruka climbed partially down the stairs. She and Grandmother Asumi had waxed the downstair's floor earlier, and had just finished waxing the upstair's. Sitting on the steps, she admired the shine. Hearing her grandmother's quiet footsteps, Haruka looked up at her.
Asumi smiled down at the her wonderful helper. "Thank you for helping." Sitting next to the little girl, she ruffled the short dark hair. "Waxing the floor always goes faster with the help of my little sky child."
Haruka grinned at the special nickname her grandmother had given her. It was their secret. No one else knew of it. "The floor shines like the sun is caught in there."
Asumi crouched on the bottom step and peered closely at the floor. "I don't see it. Maybe only the light is caught?"
Haruka giggled, and joined her grandmother. "See, it's over near the door."
Asumi peered in the direction Haruka was pointing. "Oh! There it is. No wonder the floor is so shiny. With the sun trapped in there, I think the floor should be dry." She carefully touched a section nearest the bottom stair. "Just right. Shall we get a snack?"
Haruka nodded in agreement. Asumi headed towards the kitchen. "Then I'll bring it out to the garden. Go on out and play. I'll see you in a moment."
Haruka walked across the floor, taking care not to step where the sun was trapped in the wax.
