Row sat in the Astronomy tower, watching the sunrise.
She couldn't sleep again, so she'd just come here.
She was sat on the ledge, one leg trailing over the side. She'd been told this was where her sister had killed herself. Jumping over the edge.
She figured, morbid as it was, that if there was anywhere she'd feel close to her it'd be here.
Sighing she dropped her head slightly, so her red hair hung over her face, looking down at her clasped hands.
"Really, Row, you have such a pretty face, you should keep your hair back sometimes..." Her sister smiled at her, running her fingers lightly through her hair, pushing it back over her shoulders. Her hands were cold.
"God...Erin...gerroff!" She laughed, batting her hands away, "Don't you have something else to be doing?"
"No, otherwise I'd be doing it, not sitting here talking to you." She laughed.
"Hmm...ever wonder what it'd be like to fly?"
"How random would you like to be?"
"Very. Have you though?"
"I'd love to fly. Love to fly without a broom."
"You can't fly with a broom."
"Well, first I'll have to learn to fly with a broom, then I'll learn to fly without one."
"If you want, we could lob you off the roof and see what happens..."
"Shut up, you little runt."
She sighed again, humming slightly under her breath, trying to push the memories out of her head.

"Are you alright?" I ask the girl as I fumble through some of the star charts.

Row jumped and damn nearly slipped sideways, but hung onto the ledge, "Woo...nearly gave me a heart attack there." She laughs, "Yeah, I'm alright..." She patted her heart, "As soon as the pace maker kicks in anyway." She jokes.

"Sorry..." I say making sure she was alright. "I'm so used to being the only one up here, that's all..."

"I've never been up here before. But apparently my sister came up here a lot." She smiles weakly, running a hand along the stone next to her, not looking up, "She died right up here. I thought maybe, I know it's stupid, but I thought I might feel a little close to her, you know? But I don't really. Kind of sucks that my Erin's gone."

I smile at her. "I understand, go to where my mother was killed for the same reason." I say as I walk over to her. "I'm Shelby, you can call me Shell though."

"Cool. I like it. Shell, funky." She smiles, "I'm Morgan. But call me Row. Everyone does. Prefer me bloody surname."

Morgan's eyes get so wide they nearly pop out of her head, "Holy fuck. Whoa...That is so uber it's untrue."

I smile. "It's true! My maiden name was Crescent..." I say looking at the sunrise now.

"I like that. Crescent. Like the moon. So you're a funky moon. Awesome." She smiles, "Better than my maiden name, which is still my name." She laughs, "Row sucks ass. But it beats Morgan which is why people call me Row anyway."

"Oops." She smiles sheepishly, "Well, it's an alright name. I think it's just not right for me. You know? That's what Erin and my not brother in law used to say. Said I should have been called runt on account of me being so little. I think that's just cruel though." She laughs.

"You have then. Me Erin was me sister. Me Inananan was me not brother in law. Cos he was gonna be me brother in law but then they both disappeared of the face of the planet and I catch up with them and Erin's dead and he's-...weird."

"I know," She sighs, "I'm insane, but I'm not stupid as I says. I feel pretty awful. Cos of me short temper, I got really mad at him when I found out what he did, and I yelled at him that it was his fault and that I hated him. I didn't mean it though. He's me not brother in law after all. We were pretty good friends before him and Erin vanished. Just lost it a bit. Couldn't help it."

She laughs, "Then someone does the littlest thing and it's like...BOOM! Funky moon volcano."
