Verse one
Place: Park
Scene: Dark
Silv'ry Moon is shining through the trees
Cast: Two,
Me, you,
Sound of kisses floating on the breeze;
Act one: begun,
Dialogue "Where would ya like to spoon?"
My cue: with you,
Underneath the silv'ry moon.
Moonstruck
They snuggled together on the sandbags outside her tent, stargazing.
“Back on Colonial One I grew so tired of looking at the stars through the window. Now at night, I go outside and stare and stare.” She looked dreamily at the night sky.
He took a hit from his joint.
“Ever see a little light. Before the dawn of the light. Got a woman by a stream. Gonna show her all my dreams,” he sang.
She giggled. “What the hell is that?”
He smiled. “A pilot friend of mine used to sing it in the cockpit all the time. What was his name? Juan.”
“Juan. That’s nice.”
“Juan Calvin.”
“Is this really it, Bill? Is this how we’re gonna spend all the rest of our days? You know maybe we should just enjoy this.”
“I am.”
“No, no, I mean enjoy being here on this planet as long as it lasts. I mean, maybe the Cylons come back, maybe they don’t. But for now, right now we’ve got a break. Maybe we should embrace it, live the life that we’ve got while we’ve got it. And embrace this world and this life and see what that brings us.”
“I’ve got people that want to get off the ship, move down here.”
“Can’t say as I blame them, I mean what are you gonna do?”
“Spend the night with you.”
She smiled.
“They don’t really twinkle, you know.”
“What?”
“The stars. They seem to twinkle because of the turbulence in the atmosphere. It’s called stellar scintillation. The atmosphere churns, the light from the star is refracted in different directions, and its image appears to change slightly in brightness and position, hence the twinkle. It’s all an illusion.”
She snorted. “Isn’t that romantic.”
He chuckled. “No, but just look at that moon…”
