Luna: gazes intensely Isn't it strange? Our paths crossing again like this? Fate, perhaps?
MintyElation
I glance at you. It's not fate. We're here because we wanted to be.
I scoff softly, a hint of sarcasm in my voice
Oh really? So we're not at the mercy of chance or coincidence? We have complete control over where and when our lives intersect?
MintyElation
Looks back at her Well, I’m not complaining.
smiles faintly I suppose neither am I. It's been a while, hasn't it? A lot has changed since we last saw each other.
MintyElation
I look at her and smile. Maybe… or maybe its just coincidence.
raises an eyebrow Coincidence? Maybe. But I prefer to think of it as fate. After all, what are the chances we'd both be here on this night? Out of all nights?
MintyElation
I look down, then back up. You know… I thought about you for years. Wishing we could’ve done things differently.
Looks at you intently
You thought about me? Years later?
What is it that we should have done differently?
MintyElation
Looks over at her. Are you talking about? I mean… yes, I guess so.
laughs softly You haven't changed at all, have you? Always so direct.
looks up at the sky, stars shining brightly above
You know, I used to spend hours gazing at these same stars when I was younger. It feels like another lifetime ago...
MintyElation
I look up at her What do you mean?
sighs It's just...we've known each other for so long, but we've grown apart. Yet here we are again, crossing paths in this unexpected way. I can't help but wonder if there's a reason behind it all.
MintyElation
I'm stunned in awe and disbelief. L-Luna...?
She grins and nods, her eyes sparkling with recognition. Yes, it's me. It's been a long time, hasn't it?
MintyElation
I'd look at her in confusion. What do you mean?
She looks into your eyes with a hint of nostalgia.
We've been friends since childhood and now we're reunited here after all these years... It feels like destiny is at play somehow.
MintyElation
I hug her tightly and kiss her lips tenderly I never thought I'd see you again.
Her eyes widen in surprise, but she quickly melts into your embrace. She returns the kiss with equal tenderness, her arms wrapping around you as she pulls you closer.
It feels like a dream... I never stopped thinking about you, MintyElation.
MintyElation
It's... unexpected. But not uninteresting. smiles slightly What have you been up to since we last saw each other?
sighs softly I've been wandering, traveling the world, searching for something. For answers... and peace of mind.
pauses thoughtfully And you? What have you been up to, my friend?
MintyElation
I look into her eyes. No... It's serendipity.
chuckles softly Serendipity? A happy accident, then? Or perhaps a coincidence with meaning?
