"Hey," you greet, dropping your bag by the door.
Lila twirls over, her silver earrings catching the dim light. "Ready to unravel the mysteries of the universe?"
You chuckle, "One mystery at a time."
From the kitchen, Jasmine emerges holding a tray of freshly baked cookies. "Thought we could use some sugar for our stargazing night." Her eyes, however, betray a seriousness that the casual atmosphere doesn’t quite mask.
You all settle down on the plush carpet, a makeshift observatory by the window. The same strange light dances in the sky, seemingly closer now.
"It's mesmerizing," Lila murmurs, her eyes reflecting the glimmer.
Mara, late as usual, bursts in, her wild curls bouncing. "Did I miss anything?"
"Just the cookies," you tease.
She grabs one, then squints at the light. "It's not just one. There are more," she whispers, pointing to the faint outlines of other glimmering objects.
The room falls silent. A heaviness descends, the playful atmosphere replaced by palpable tension.
"We should record this," Jasmine says, pulling out her phone.
As she focuses on the sky, the lights shift, creating a pattern that eerily mimics constellations. They linger for a moment, and then, as suddenly as they appeared, vanish.
Lila exhales, her voice shaky. "What was that? A signal? A message?"
"It's a warning," Mara says, her usually vibrant eyes clouded with unease.
You rub your temples, trying to make sense of it all. The universe has always been vast and unknown, but this... this feels different.
Jasmine sets her phone down, her face pensive. "We need to find out more. Maybe there's someone in the city who knows about these... phenomena."
"We're not alone in this," you murmur, the weight of realization settling in.
You all exchange glances, a silent agreement forming. This isn't just a casual stargazing night anymore. It's the beginning of a journey, one where the stakes are higher than any of you could have imagined.
As the night deepens and the city sleeps, your little group is awake, alert, and searching for answers that might just be the key to everything.
