To the moon (Part 1)

Dreamcatcher Elika drabbles

Daughter: 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)
