“Oh my goodness, my favorite! Thank you Maria, so much!” she said
“You’re very welcome, my darling. Happy birthday!” Maria said smiling.
Luna ate her delicious breakfast, and then she rushed downstairs to see her parents. The room was beautifully decorated, flowers everywhere (Mostly lilies; Luna’s favorite flower,) and there was a big cake on the table. King Phillip and Queen Aurora were standing in the middle of the room with the rest of Luna’s loved ones.
“Oh, mother, father, you didn’t have to do this!’ Luna said, running up to hug them.
“Oh my, it seems like just yesterday I was cradling you in my arms.” Aurora said “You’ve grown up to be so beautiful”
Aurora was right; Luna was blessed with exquisite beauty. She had long strawberry blond hair, big brown eyes, and a smile to die for. She was gorgeous, inside and out.
Luna was having her daily singing lesson, for she had the most beautiful voice. It was unique yet amazing, just like her mother’s. She was singing a song that her mother had taught her, a song that she wrote about wanting true love, it was called “Once Upon A Dream.” As Maria played the piano, Luna beautifully sang
“I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream. I know you the gleam in your eyes is so familiar, a gleam”
Her voice sounded perfect along with the melodic piano
“And I know it’s true, that visions are seldom all they seem. But if I know you, I know what you’d do, you’d love me at once, the way you di-“
“I remember that song” King Phillip said, smiling. "I just thought your mother thought of the lyrics from the top of her head, maybe not"
Luna giggled
“Um, father. I know I’ve asked this a few times before, but….Can I….go out into town, just this once?” the girl said.
“No, my dear. I’m sorry, but it isn’t safe out there.” He said.
“How? What’s so dangerous about it?” Luna asked angrily
“People could discover who you are! Hold you hostage! Force you into giving them money!”
“But father, what if I’m in digui-“
“The answer is no!” Phillip interrupted
Luna ran away, in tears.
That night, at about 2:30 AM, when everybody was asleep, Luna found an old peasant outfit in her mother’s closet. She went back to her room and put it on, she climbed out the window, and left.
