Chapter 22: Twinkle Twinkle little star
"New ice cream store huh? I guess I'll ask Sting if we can go tomorrow.." I mumble to myself
I look up at the empty starry sky without the moon and started to hum softly, twinkle twinkle little star. I go into the room where my destroyed piano used to be in but now there was a new fresh and jet black upright piano sitting against the wall. "I guess it arrived…" I mumbled to myself while eating a bar of chocolate I got out of the fridge. I put my right hand out and laid it on top of the piano, the keyboard because the fall board was still down.
I put my bar of chocolate down and slowly raised the fall board upwards revealing the keyboard. I lay my hand down onto the keys and attempt to play twinkle twinkle little star. As soon as I played one note on the keyboard, all of my memories came flooding back to me and I immediately ripped my hand away from the piano and fall backwards resulting in me hitting the wall. I lower my head and fake a chuckle "Ha… I can't even play one simple tune"
Upset with myself, I head back upstairs feeling down in the dumps. "Time to sleep I guess…" As I lay down on my bed I feel as if I can hear my mother's voice slightly "…Lucy…" I could only hear her call my name though… Is she mad at me? That I can't play the piano anymore? I fall asleep thinking about why my mother was calling my name.
The next morning I wake up and I hear bust into my room. "Lucy!" Sting jumps onto my bed. "Ah! Sting why are you so energetic today?" I ask him while scratching my head. "I just feel very happy for no actual reason!" Sting hugged me as I attempted to get out of bed but failed due to Sting's heavy weight. "How long have you been in my house Sting?" I say as I pinch Sting's nose. "Well… I wanted to show you something but I got really excited so I probably arrived at least two hours ago" Sting laughed "TWO HOURS?!" I squeezed Sting's cheeks "What were you doing for two hours?" I let go of his cheeks, Sting rubbed his red cheeks in pain. "I made breakfast for you!" Sting got up from my bed.
I got up after Sting and headed towards my mirror to brush my hair, I started to brush my hair and paused for a while "My hair is so tangled" I complained and puffed my cheeks. "Here I can brush your hair for you" Sting put his hand out signaling me to give him the brush. "Um… Okay, thanks!" I smiled while handing him the brush. As he started to slowly brush my hair, I notice that he was very gentle with my hair. When he finished brushing my hair I thanked him "Thanks Sting, can you wait downstairs? I need to change clothes" Sting walked downstairs to wait for me.
After I changed I headed downstairs, the closer I headed towards the living room, the heavier the smell of bacon appeared. I stepped downstairs and I see Sting putting down a plate of bacon, eggs and salad down. "Yo!" Sting waved to me. I was about to sit down when I felt something land on my head, I lifted my arm to touch the thing on my head…. It was fluffy? "Hi Lucy! You know me right?" The red exceed also known as Lector flew off of my head so I could see him. "Yeah, your Lector, Sting's partner" I smile at him. "Sting! She's an angel!I can tell by her smile!" Lector compliments me, I blush lightly from his compliment. "Today I came with Sting because I wanted to meet you" Lector says as I sat myself down. "You wanted to meet me?" I was confused because I didn't understand what reason he could have to meet me. "Sting talks about you at home and the way he described you was interesting plus I want to see if your worthy of being Sting's girlfriend" Lector crosses his small arms. "If I'm worthy?" I sweat dropped and giggled slightly. Sting sighs as he lifts his fork and knife up.
"I'm just kidding Lucy! I know you're a great person!" Lector starts to fly all over the room. I thank for the food and dig in, as soon as I take one bite I feel like I'm in heaven "Yum…" The room starts to sparkle as a hold my chin from the deliciousness of the bacon. "Hahaha!" Sting starts to laugh at me, I blush as I snap out from wonderland. "It's yummy!" I scream from embarrassment. I calm myself down and finish my meal "Loki was talking about some new ice cream store that you and him were talking about, can we go?" I asked Sting but the both of them looked confused. "O…Ohhhh Yeah! It won't open until further notice though!" Sting for some reason started to sweat a lot. "I get the feeling you and Loki are lying about something… Since it's only about ice cream, I'll let the both of you off for now" I winked at him while pointing my index finger to the side.
"I was hoping the both of us could go though" I sighed sadly "Hehehe… Remember what I said earlier though? I have something to show you!" Sting put his hands on his hips and Lector flew to a bag that was sitting on the couch. Lector picked up the bag and flew towards me, he laid the bag softly into my hands. "What's this?" I ask out of curiosity "Open it!" Sting and Lector say simultaneously. I zip the bag open and find a white box that's covered in a red ribbon. I touch the middle of the box and it magically starts to unfold itself. A music box appeared, it was cylinder pink music box that was flat on the bottom, there was glass on the top and on the inside of the glass were stars that sparkled while circling the moon. I smile at the music box as it started to play twinkle twinkle little star. "You told me you liked the night sky so I bought you that" Sting chuckled lightly
"Well I have to go now! I have to meet up with Frocsh! Bye Sting, Bye Lucy! See you later" Lector flew out of the window. After Lector left me and Sting continued to listen to the music box in silence, when it ended I closed my eyes and had a small vision of me crying when I was a little kid but someone was there to pat me on the head and say 'it's okay'. That person was Sting. I opened my eyes and we both smiled at each other. I played the music box again but this time I started to sing along with the soft music. "Twinkle Twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are…" As I continued to sing, Sting joined me midway "Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky… Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are" We finished singing and I stood up from my seat "This song might be for babies but I love it! It reminds me of my childhood with my mother" I turned around and faced a door.
"Hey Sting… After receiving this present and listening to it, I think I'm ready to play again" I turn the door knob and opened the door. I stepped inside the room that contained my piano…
