------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once upon a time, there was a place, a world, that had two moons. A red one, and a blue one. Both these moons showed up brightly on the night sky for everyone to see.
But that story isn't true. There had always been one moon. Always has, always been.
One was a real moon, but what about the other? No, it wasn't a moon but rather, it was a star. A star that nearly ended that world and its inhabitants, due to a certain darkness that once befell that land.
But just because it wasn't true, it doesn't mean that anyone should stop talking about it. They are stories, legends, that are either passed down or lost forever.
But once, two spherical objects did glow at the night sky. Why did it change? One tale told of two children with opposite attitudes. A smart, happy-go-lucky inventor, and a magic-using, sword-wielding princess.
These two, who have never even heard of each other before, joined together in a certain destiny to save the world. At least, that's what the stories told.
But is it a story so important? A story that most likely only passed through the tongue, and not really experienced?
It doesn't matter. Stories are memories, but is that all they can ever be?

"Whooh!" Max exclaimed with a huff. He had just taken lumps of Zelmite ore out of the mines. These ore minerals were to be used as fuel for the train, so they can finally reopen the Blackstone Railroad. "Hah, hah….Man, I can't take no more…hah, hah…" Max exhaled as he sat down on the ground.
"You're so weak, Max. Suck it up!" Monica arrived behind him, with a bigger piece of Zelmite ore on her shoulder and looking a lot less tired.
"I can't help it, I'm not as strong as you," Max replied, breathing heavily.
"Oh, c'mon!" Monica said as she put down the huge mineral down on the ground. "You're a guy! You can't show that you're weaker than me! It's pathetic!"
Max laughed. "Why, Miss Monica, since when have you been a chauvinist?" Max said jokingly.
"Oh please!" Monica said as she crossed her arms. "I was only trying to get you to stop whining."
"Yes, ma'am!" Max replied with a less sarcastic salute. "By the way, thanks for helping out with the Zelmite gathering."
"Shouldn't you get back to your own time?" Max continued. "I mean, we're done with dealing with the evil and all that…"
Indeed, they had defeated the new evil that arised from the depths of the Zelmite Mines, only known as the Dark Genie. She had no more reason to stay.
"Are there any more reasons you want to stay?"
"W-ell," Monica replied slowly. "I do, but I'm not telling you," she replies with a wink towards Max. Max just blushed, and wondered what the heck she meant. Max may be a great thinker, but more than that, he's pretty dense.
"C'mon, let's get back to work!" Monica shouts at Max as she runs towards the mine entrance to gather some more ore.
Max stands up and follows. It was just a normal day.

Hey, everybody! Thanks for reading my fic. Yes, it IS pretty slow at the start, but I hope you'll enjoy it as much as you might have enjoyed my first one "Distortion to the Forbidden", if not more so. I'm trying to put all my writing-skills, mind, soul (which I hadwillingly sold last Tuesday), and money (okay, not really money) on this so it doesn't end up like an ordinary story. Go on and read the next chapter!
