Fictional Friday – 3

It was cloudy today since early morning. The stars were talking in themselves, that whether they would be able to see the earth today or not. They kept waiting for their turn to appear in the sky. All were excited as every single day. But when the clouds didn’t move, the excitement slowly slowed down by the time came. Out of all these stars, there was this one rebellious star named Venus. He has been known for being the one who does whatever is being said not to. He wanted to impress one of the stars there he had been crushing on. So, he found this moment to be perfect to show he is a hero and fear no one. He took the chance and went to the clouds and started arguing that they have been there for like a whole day now it’s their time to shine. But grey clouds were aggressive and they started arguing back loudly.

The Evening star found himself alone as when he saw back all the stars were watching him arguing but no one came forward to stand by him. They all feared these grey clouds’ anger. Venus then thought of a plan, he then suddenly changed his tone to sweet and victim’s tone like he was suffering and it may be the last day he would appear in the sky and would fall down soon. He went further and said it’s his time now, he can feel it inside and his last wish is to twinkle for one last time and let the world always remember the Evening Star. He started sobbing a little. Everyone heard and started consoling him and blaming and cursing the clouds for being this insensitive. Seeing all the stars getting together, the clouds give in. They also felt bad for Venus so they cleared some space for poor Venus to appear for some time in the sky and shine for one last time in his lifetime. Venus now started smiling internally knowing his plan worked. As cloud gave the space, Venus twinkle as shiny as he always was and started twinkling, singing, dancing forgetting what he said a moment before about being weak and going to fall down soon.

It didn’t take more than a few moments that everyone realized the Evening star lied and made fool out of everyone. The clouds got angered because this one mere star has fooled them in front of all these stars and in anger they turned black. While Venus was enjoying his time oblivious of all the things happening up there. He was so happy imagining he had won and that pretty star would have been thinking of how intelligent and fearless he is. He was daydreaming about being together with her and twinkle in rhythm and lovingly talking about anything and everything. And then suddenly clouds roared, loudly enough to break the trance of Venus. And once he saw the black clouds he understood what he had done. He rushed from his space to back towards his home laughing and feeling a bit scared also. And clouds couldn’t take it, he chose to use his most powered and sacred weapon, lightning. Clouds were so embarrassed after the incident, they rained, and they rained heavily that night. While all this was happening the moon was sitting in his window watching and smiling the childish behavior of all of them.
