It wasn't really living... just a chemical reaction. Mo had to sort of adjust his thinking from literal to playful to successfully complete this assignment.
"I'm not much of a singer, so maybe I'll make up a story for Nova. Like..." Mo lifted his jar and made goofy faces at his Nova inside. "Once upon a time, there was a little star named Nova. Annnnd... she was the smallest star in the sky. Sparkly, though, and always happily shining to light the way for people down below who loved to look up at the heavens above."
Maybe Nova liked the star, because she seemed to pulse a little bit. "And that's the end of chapter one. I'll write some more and tell it to you later, okay, Nova?" He patted the top of her jar and set her back far on the counter so no one would knock her over. "Let's go get a snack, Lex."
Ooooo story time! She plopped down on the ground and placed NOT Jeffery comfortably in her lap. He could have that comfy spot to listen to the story because even though it was meant for Nova, they were still in ear shot and could very much listen too. It was a nice story but him saying chapter one meant there would be other chapters and she wasn't going to question it too much. Nope. Other chapters meant more reading...even if Mo was simply talking the story...
"Did you like the story very much, love?" She asked him, getting off the floor and rubbing his jar against her face again. He was the type of star that liked affection, she was sure.
"He says you should read to him the next time you read to Nova because he wants to know how the story ends." Nod. Her star was a curious one so naturally he'd want to know what happened to that star that kept shining for people. Such a giving star that one.
Don't go getting ideas NOT Jeffery.
She didn't want to think about losing another star and if he went shining up in the sky he wouldn't be in the jar anymore and she wouldn't have him anymore either. A terrible thought that one.
O___O
NotAsSmartOrNiceAsViviBranxtonBoySayWhat???
He was actually going to let her grab a snack with him?
"Okay!" BEAM!
"Just let me put NOT Jeffery to sleep first." She craddled the star for a minute, gave the jar a kiss then put it down and fished out a few jelly beans. After making sure he was nicely fixed on the table she put them next to the jar.
"Sweet Dreams NOT Jeffery." She turned to Mo.
"Alright, we can go." And with that she followed him out.
