The Mid Autumn Festival.

It's the Mid Autumn festival....

"Mo Ran, Mo Ran....hurry up otherwise we are going to be late!"

"Wait, Wait....! Let me put this coat on me, it's a bit cold tonight! Done. I'am coming Su Su!"

Xu Mo Ran, our heroine, gets out of her room and goes down the stairs to enter the living room where her childhood friend Wei Su Su was waiting for her. The two girls were planning to spend the night out in the city where the Mid Autumn festival was taking place every year.

"We're going to eat plenty moon cakes, drink hot tea and watch the beautiful moon all night, right Mo Ran?"

"Of course! And don't forget the lanterns, it's going to be a great view this year too!"

"Mo Ran, have you thought about a wish? There's an old saying: "if you make a wish upon a falling star while watching the full moon during the Mid Autumn Festival, the Moon's Goddess Chang'e will make it come true!"

"Do you believe all that Su Su?"

"Yes! Why not? Don't you think is beautiful to believe in fairytales?"

"Maybe! I suppose so! Anyway let's go my dear Su or will miss all the fun!"

The two young girls leave the house and start running down the street. Even though we're speaking about a city in the modern era, during the great festivals of the year you have the feeling that you're in the ancient times. Every person is wearing clothes from the ancient times and they are holding traditional lanterns. On the streets are placed many stands with a large diversity of groceries and food and let's not forget the

festival's biggest attraction: "The Moon Cake".

(Who would not fall in love with this delicacy?

There's not such person on Earth yet, I assure you!)

(So, where we are with our story? Oh, yes!)

After enjoying all the festival's gifts, the girls find a quiet place from where they can watch the beautiful Moon and enjoy the moon cakes.

They gaze at the sky for a long time and enjoy the night until Su Su shouts out loudly: "Look there's a falling star, make a wish! Fast, make a wish!"

Mo Ran doesn't want to disappoint Su Su, so she closes her eyes and thinks about something. Later when this wonderful scene ends, Su Su asks Mo Ran what she wished but she tells her that if it's revealed it will not come true. The girls decide not to share their wishes one with each other.

"Actually I think you have a point Ran! A wish only comes true if it's kept close to your heart, so we can't expose it."

"Let it be a secret! I'll tell you after it comes true! I swear!"

"Me too!"

Almost near the morning the girls get up from their seats and leave that place. They bid goodbye to each other and head back toward their homes.

"Ahhh...it was so beautiful! I wish I could live in a magical world like this forever, says Xu Mo Ran!"

She says these words while chewing the last moon cake. I don't know how she succeeds but she actually chokes with it. Don't blame the sweet delicacy!

What she sees before she falls down on the ground is a strong light. It appears in front of her eyes letting her blind for a moment. Everything happens fast, in a blink of an eye.

The Moon was still up on the festival's sky.

(Is this the end for this eighteen years old girl?)
