The fireworks were cold. They exploded like a plastic bag. But now they were far from that beach. They were in the train's balcony, traveling at the speed of light, heading towards the red galaxy.
- The fireworks really sucked. -he said.
- Forget about that -she said- Now we are heading to a better place.
She was beautiful. She was nice. She was a perfect woman. Or at least, that's what he though about her. This was the first time they talked, but the conversation was warm and animated, as if they were old friends. No one could say that it was the first time they were talking.
Now they were reaching the planet. They flied over a small blue moon. The atmosphere seemed to be a purple halo wrapping the sphere. Giant, dark trees were covering the surface, with a small Earth in their tops.
- You want to fall? -she said.
- What? Fall where? -he said
- To the moon?
He didn't answer. She held his hand.
- Please don't fall. Don't leave me alone.
The train landed on the planet. The sky shined bright with billons of stars, as they never glowed before. The ceramic floor was covered with the same purple halo as the moon, but it was softer. In all directions there where the same Earth trees, spreading between the silver lakes, across the ancient marble ruins and beside the cupper statues. Some broken ceramics were flying slowly across the space, defying all the physics that once ruled the universe.
They both ran through the squares, admiring the remains of a Greek-like temple, lurking in the surreal gardens, and they were happy; they were friends; they were brothers; they were one. No words broke the silence, but yet still there was some kind of communication, something hidden in the air, something that was whispering; talking about perfection, talking about the planet, talking about the future.
Now they were sit in the grass, between strange flowers of incompressible beauty. The whole world was so strange, yet so perfect. He smiled looking at her face and though: 'This is so perfect. I don't deserve it. But I'm with her and nothing else matters…but I'm so shy…maybe now I could…but how?'
- I don't deserve to be here…
He gasped. She was sad now. It was the same sadness that haunted him since long ago, and that always died when he dreamed about her.
- Why you say that? -he said.
- This place is… is… -she closed her eyes, and a tear fell from her eyelid
- Is?
She sighted
- …it's too perfect for me. I should not be here. I'm so coward, so weak, so…
- I think you're much prettier than this place.
She stared at him.
- What do you mean?
Silence. Silence was talking.
- …I see… -she said.
Silence was howling
- …So you know what I feel for you…
Silence now was an extreme shout, and the entire galaxy seemed to vibrate with it. Silence was talking about how love sprouted in that planet, as she closed her eyes, slowly repeating the most ancient ritual of love…
BEEP!
He saw her lips suddenly vanishing in darkness. The entire planet faded to black, and the stars died, replaced by dark walls. The alarm was sounding, because it was 6:30 A.M. and he had to leave his bed and start the bored tasks of his routine.
- Fuck!
