It was the day the moon fell. Oh true love is in the air but first I must go back to a mystical land that might be a fairy tail to you but it is as true as the people there. We are looking back on two little kids, friends more than partners, they always where by each others sides but as they grew they grew apart as well no longer best friends now just strangers they don’t even say hi any more they just fell apart. As they grew in to adults they started going into the other world to find work. MR found work at a school teaching kindergarteners. Nathanael found work at a high school teaching music. The schools where close and they did not know it but they live in the same apartment building but he lived with friends on the mystical side so pretty much it was a mirror apartment because on one side lived mystical creatures and the others real people, all but one. They ride the same bus to work they don’t even remember each other they both love animals actually they have both owned an alligator at one point or another but after MR got her longboard they didn’t ever walk near each other. MR road her longboard where ever she went even in winter but that’s only because they live in California where it is hot. Nathanael loves to play his trumpet when he gets home. Then when MR gets home sometimes she will go see her mom and tell her about her day and stay for dinner her dad comes home a little bit before dinner is done. As the family sat down for dinner she noticed how big her little siblings where getting so big now and they are starting to stay at her place. Nathanael will usually not go home because of the amount of siblings. There families are grate friends and plan on spending Christmas together that way they are sharing the Christmas joy. MR and Nathanael did not know that they would be spending Christmas with each other and would not know until Christmas eve because if they knew sooner they would both not go to it and they would go other places instead of going over there because they were still avoiding each other ever since they started growing apart. They just did not like each other as much as they used to and they didn’t know what they look like out in the other world. That is why they have been able to sit on a bus by each other and not jump off the bus because they did not know who each other where. As the days passed Christmas Eve came up fast as MR’s family started on dinner. MR showed up in her true form instead of a human. One by one Nathanael’s family came into MR’s house and MR’s family got MR to leave the front room long enough that way they could come in and not make MR mad because she does not like him because he ruined her life when they where kids. They started making fun of her because she grew faster then he did and he hated it so much. That is the main reason they started growing apart is because she started to grow up sooner then he did. Nathanael’s family hid him in the middle of all of them; that way he did not see where they were. When MR came back in to the front room she was fine at first. As MR started gathering with the family, she saw that Nathanael was there. MR started to get mad and then this happened. As MR started to yell, Star came in trying to calm MR down. Star started to take MR out of the room that way she would not try to hurt anybody. MR left after Star took her out of the house. MR left and went to her apartment that way she could cool down. Nathanael tried to leave but his parents stopped him in time. Both families sat on pins and needles waiting for what happened next.
