Everyone took turns stearing the peach.Each one would stay up for an hour or so and trade places with another.Luna teamed up with Centipede for the night watch,but she forgot one thing.They both get tierd easily.That night,Luna and Centipede were stearing the peach,James was out with them,but he was looking at the map while thinking to himself and the rest of the crew were inside the peach sleeping.Centipede and Luna would talk about the trip or old childhood memories while they were stearing the peach.
"Oh boy,what I wouldn't do for a cup of coffee,"Centipede yawned,"Luna?Are you still awake?"
Luna,who was half awake looked over at him,"Do you think I am?"
Centipede started to shake his head and slap himself silly to stay awake,"Cup of joe,"
"I just need...,"Luna yawned,"A bucket of cold water dumped on me.That would work,"
"Not on me it won't,"Centipede said.
Mr.Grasshopper came up above with a blanket and a chair made from a cardboard standie.
"I say,old sport,came to relieve you of your duties,"Mr.Grasshopper said.
"I said I'd stear the peach,"Centipede yawned,"Have to stear the peach,"
Mr.Grasshopper set the chair down and helped Centipede into the chair.
"Can't quit...now,"Centipede yawned once more.
"Good show,old boy,"Mr.Grasshopper said throwing the blanket over Centipede.
"Come Luna.I'll take over from here,"Mr.Grasshopper said.
Luna streched out her legs and let out a long yawn and walked over to where Centipede was set up.
"Thanks Mr.Grasshopper,"Centipede yawned.
"Yeah.Thanks Mr.Grasshopper,"Luna said curling up next to the chair Centipede was sitting in.
Mr.Grasshopper noticed that Luna didn't have a blanket.He started to get worried.Was she even cold?
"You don't need a blanket Luna?"Mr.Grasshopper asked.
"No,"Luna answered,"You think I'm going to freeze?Not with all of this fur,"
"But in that wasteland you were shivery,"Mr.Grasshopper said.
"Because I'm not use to that kind of cold.Don't you worry about me.I'm fine,"Luna said.
"Get some sleep,"Mr.Grasshopper said,"We may be in New York by morning,"
"Okay,"Luna yawned.
Mr.Grasshopper got out his violen and started to play a little song on it.Centipede awoke with a start and tried to go back to sleep,but he couldn't.He tossed and turned until he finally gave up.
"I can't get any sleep,"he said.
Luna awoke,"How come Centipede?"
"Yeah.Come on old chap.You need your rest.We're almost to New York and you need your rest for your first impression,"Mr.Grasshopper said.
"I know,but...,"Centipede said,"I still feel guilty for what I have done I can't get any sleep,"
"Well...,I may have something that can help you sleep,"Luna said.
"Yeah?Like what,a sleeping pill?"Centipede joked.
"No,"Luna laughed,"A lullabye,"
"A lullabye?I haven't had one of those singed to me since I was ten,"Centipede said.
"You had a lullabye sang to you when you were ten?"Mr.Grasshopper asked.
Centipede looked back and forth between Luna and Mr.Grasshopper's shocked faces.
"And younger!"Centipede said.
"Well,my parents use to sing one to me and it always gave me such sweet dreams,"Luna said smiling,remembering how well her mother would sing it.
"Really?Well,let us hear it Luna,"Mr.Grasshopper said,"Maybe it will help Centipede get some sleep,"
"Well,I'm going to need some help from you Mr.Grasshopper,"Luna said.
"And how is that so?"Mr.Grasshopper asked.
"Can you play a sad tune on the violin please?"Luna asked.
"Of course I can,"Mr.Grasshopper said getting his violin ready.
Luna then became nervous.It has been years since she had this lullabye sang to her.
"I...hope I remember how this goes,"Luna thought,"I should remember,"
"Okay,how does it go?"Mr.Grasshopper asked.
"How does it go?"Luna asked confussed.
"Yes.Could you maybe hum a few bars so I can get it,"Mr.Grasshopper said.
The memory of the lullabye came back to Luna's mind and she hummed the first few bars and Mr.Grasshopper played it on his violin.
"Like that?"Mr.Grasshopper asked.
"Yes,"Luna nodded.
Mr.Grasshopper played it again on his violin to make sure he got it right.
"Okay I'm ready,"he said,"Go ahead Luna,"
Luna took a deep breath and released it,"Okay,"
"You better hope this work,"Centipede said pointing at her.
"It will.Believe me.I was always out right at the end of the song,"Luna said.
Mr.Grasshopper started to play his violin and Luna started to sing. (You may sing this anyway you want)
Up where the stars are shining bright
Up where the moon is big and white
You,my dear child will fly up to
And howl at the moon till morning dew
Howl,my baby,howl
Howl,my child,howl
Howl till the heavens can hear you sing
Howl till no one can hear a bell ding
When the moonlight shines down on you
The stars will sparkle on the morning dew
In this world full of pain and sorrow
Your howl will bring joy tomarrow
Mr.Grasshopper ended the song and the sound of Centipede snoring could be heard.
"Did it work?"Mr.Grasshopper asked.
"Yeah.He's out,"Luna yawned,"And I feel alittle tierd myself,"
"That's a beautiful lullabye,"Mr.Grasshopper said.
"Thank you,"Luna said,"It's been in my mother's family for generation after generation.She used to sing it to me and my brothers to help us go to sleep,"
"It's very beautiful,"Mr.Grasshopper said.
"Thank you,"Luna said once more before yawning,"Good night Mr.Grasshopper,"
"Good night Luna,"Mr.Grasshopper said.
Luna closed her eyes and started to dream of what New York would be like while listening to the sound of Mr.Grasshopper's violin.
