AUTHOR NOTE :Hi! I'm new to writing FanFiction so on the prologue I didn't know how to put in author notes so now I do!

Disclaimer: I do not own the lunar chronicles.

Oh, and criticism is always welcome here!

"But I don't want to do it!" said Kai, " oh Kai, you can't be in your own little world all the time!"said Phoebe( his mother). " But your always in the garden!" Argued Kai, " but that's different" argued back Phoebe, " well I don't see a difference" said Kai.

" Rikan can you please tell Kai that he has to go to the play date with Diana." Said Phoebe.

"Yes Kai, listen to your mother" said emperor Rikan while violently turning a page of the new proposal to ban all cyborgs from entering public bathrooms. Phoebe fixed a steady glare at the busy emperor, while saying " well then,"( Torin already knew where this was going) "Torin can you please tell my son that he needs to go to this play date with Diana!"Why oh why did he always have to get involved in these arguments? Torin thought to himself. " well… Kai you ah.. need to think of.. of.. uh marring... soon?" Said a very flustered Torin.

" EWWWWWW girls have cooties!" said the very annoyed Kai. Phoebe just sighed and said " c'mon Kai let talk about this in the garden" and left with a very annoyed looking Kai in hand.

Torin always walked home even though he could probably own a limo and have a driver if he wanted to but he sold his car soon after Simrin died, she would always scold him for not walking and enjoying the sights enough and he would always counter with " there's nothing new to see just a bunch of traffic jams and noise pollution." And Simrin would always argue back " well if you looked enough you would see beautiful things." Simrin was like that she'd always find the good in things no matter how messed up it was.

He always regretted not going walking with her. Well, he regretted lots of things.
