To the moon (Part 1)
Dreamcatcher Elika drabblesDaughter: Mom, could you come with me for a moment?
Siyeon: Eh? Where?
Daughter: To the roof.
Siyeon: The roof? This late at night? (mumbles) Wonder what she's up to.
(Siyeon goes with the daughter to the roof)
Siyeon: Did you want to show me something?
Daughter: Look at the moon. (points at the moon) Is it true that wolves howl when there's a full moon?
Siyeon: (chuckles) Why? You want to howl at it?
Daughter: I'm thinking... it might be fun, but... okay, yes- I want to howl. (shyly) Is that wrong?
Siyeon: (laughs) As for your question- no, we wolves don't howl at the moon. But if you want to do it, go ahead!
Daughter: Really? Thanks, Mom!
(Siyeon's daughter attempts to howl)
Siyeon: (suddenly realizes something) Wait, wait a moment!
Daughter: What?
Siyeon: It's late; if you howl now, in the middle of the city- people might get afraid.
Daughter: Oh, you're right. (gets saddened)
Siyeon: I... think I have an idea. Close your eyes.
Daughter: Are you going to take me back inside?
Siyeon: Just do it, don't worry.
(Siyeon's daughter closes her eyes)
Siyeon: Now count to three.
Daughter: 1... 2... 3?
Siyeon: Now open your eyes.
(Siyeon's daughter opens her eyes and realizes she's now somewhere else)
Daughter: Mom...? Where are we?
Siyeon: Try to guess.
(Siyeon's daughter looks around and sees only rocks)
Daughter: Is this... the moon? Mom, did you bring me to the moon??
Siyeon: Yes, it is! You should go and take a look around.
Daughter: I thought you could see the Earth in the sky from the moon. I don't see anything!
Siyeon: Oh, that's because we're on the far side of the moon. We can see the Earth if we go to the other side, because that's the side which faces the Earth.
Daughter: Then why did we come to this place?
Siyeon: Do you know how powerful telescopes are? What'll happen if someone looks at the moon and sees us walking on it just like that? Can you imagine?
Daughter: Can't we just turn invisible?
Siyeon: (stares) You know what? That's a very good idea! Why didn't I think of that?
(Siyeon and her daughter become invisible and fly to the other side of the moon)
Siyeon: There you go, there's the Earth. Oh, you can see the sun too!
Daughter: Mom... I'm not liking this for some reason.
Siyeon: Yeah... the moon's not really fun for normal people. There's basically nothing here.
Daughter: So this is why you don't howl at the moon.
Siyeon: What?
Daughter: Oops, I said something stupid. Sorry.
Siyeon: By the way... did you tell your mother we're here?
Daughter: No, how would I? I didn't know that you'd suddenly bring me to the moon!
Siyeon: I wonder if she's found out yet. Anyway, we should be going now. You need to go to sleep, don't you?
Daughter: Will you... just magically take me back again?
Siyeon: Do you want anything else?
Daughter: Will it take too long to fly back home?
Siyeon: Oh, I just love you! (takes her daughter in her arms and hugs her hard)
Daughter: Eh... Mom... I'm feeling uncomfortable...
Siyeon: Let's go home, shall we?
(Siyeon takes off at full speed, taking her daughter)
