(This Chapter is from Louis' Eyes)

"I made a new song," I told Moon, and she grinned from ear to ear. "Wanna hear it?" We sat on the edge of the mountain, letting the chilly November breeze brush our cheeks and make our fingers slightly numb.
"Yeah, sing it!" She bounced up and down, and I nodded. "It's called If I Could Fly," I explained, and took a breath in, starting to sing.

"If I could fly, I'd be coming right back home to you                                                                                             I think I might give up everything, just ask me to                                                                                                Pay attention, I hope that you listen 'cause I let my guard down                                                                    Right now I'm completely defenseless


"For your eyes only, I'll show you my heart                                                                                                             For when you're lonely and forget who you are                                                                                                  I'm missing half of me when we're apart                                                                                                           Now you know me, for your eyes only for your eyes only  


"I've got scars even though they can't always be seen                                                                                          And pain gets hard, but now you're here and I don't feel a thing                                                              Pay attention, I hope that you listen 'cause I let my guard down                                                           Right now I'm completely defenseless

"I can feel your heart inside of mine,                                                                                                                           I feel it, I feel it                                                                                                                                                                   I've been going out of my mind,                                                                                                                                    I feel it, I feel it                                                                                                                                                                    Know that I'm just wasting time                                                                                                                             And I,                                                                                                                                                                                           hope that you don't run from me

"For your eyes only
For your eye only..."
I finished the last lyric, my throat pleased with singing again. Moon clapped insanely and cheered. "That was amazing, even without background music!" She studied my face for a minute. "You're so different without all of the makeup!"
"Yeah... ha!" I laughed, glancing at her and winking. "You've been with Louis uncovered for a month now!" Moon giggled and poked me in the shoulder. "Look!" Moon gasped and I sat up, looking around in all directions. "It's snowing!" My eyes focused within seconds. "Oh!" I chirped, seeing the gentle flakes drape onto my bangs and stick, making me look like a reversed dalmatian. After the snow gathered around me for a few minutes, Moon scooped up a snowball. Only a heartbeat later my face was soaked with snow, and Moon was cracking up.
"It's on!" I challenged her, and tossed some snow at her head, making the perfect white sphere explode into a white frenzy. Soon we were in a violent snowball fight, chucking balls of ice at each other's faces and laughing every time we scored.
"That was fun," I sighed after the battle ended. I collapsed on my back, making snow angels and closing my eyes, enjoying the nice weather while we could.
"We should make a snowman later," Moon giggled and plopped down next to me, also making white angels in the freezing ice flakes. "I wonder if we'll see any reindeer this winter," was all Moon said before we drifted into silence, just letting the snowflakes collect on our faces.
