 Harley Quinn sat on a hill outside the Winkio shop. She starred up at the sky. Ever since she found the flower with Mo she now liked to watch for more falling stars. In her mind she thought she might find another flower or maybe a real star.
The female yawned and blinked. It was a cool night and she thought maybe she should go inside. "Nah, it's a pretty winter's night. Almost like a dream...maybe I shouldn't talk to myself!"

 Almost as soon as she spoke, a flowing little pumpkin appeared near her, floating around. It hovered for a moment then zipped off. Cetus had been walking towards the shop, looking for company to help him research, but stopped when he had seen a rather stunning orange pelted girl. When she spoke, Katos, the pumpkin had zipped off. "If you don't wish to talk to yourself, you could talk with me." He offered, walking closer, but still keeping a respectable distance.

Harley was shocked to hear a voice and turned. "Oh, hello. I didn't hear you coming or see you. I guess I was off in the stars." This made her giggled a little.
"Sure, I'd love to talk to you. I have a familiar, Jester, but he doesn't listen. I'm Harley Quinn." Harley hadn't even remember Jester until seeing the little pumpkin next to the male. She had never seen a pumpkin familiar before or a male like him.
Jester just floated near the female's feet.

Cetus smiled and bowed slightly. "The pleasure is all mine, m'lady Harley Quinn." He smiled at her. "I'm called Cetus, and that little imp there is Kaitos." He nodded at the pumpkin, who didn't seem to take too kindly to being called an imp, and butted into Cetus's shoulder. Cetus laughed a little at the pumpkin then returned his gaze to Harley. "What are you doing out here alone on a chilled night like this?"

"Nice to meet you Cetus and Kaitos. You can call me Harley if you like." She knew her name was a bit long she she was fine with it being shortened.
"Well, I'm watching for falling stars. I did that once with an elder called Mo, and we went looking for where it landed and then I found this flower." Harley did not know that the falling stars were meteors and that the flower was not the star after it landed.

He looked at her a moment, then nodded. "Harley it is then." he then sat down beside her and looked up. "Stars, hmm?" He looked at the sky. "I've never seen a falling star before. Though, I imagine that they are quite lovely, like the flower you posses." He was trying to gage her reaction. After he had been swiped across the face by Jun after hitting on Peridot, he took a little more caution.
"Have you seen many falling stars since you've been out here?"

Harley put her tail in front of herself to see the flower again. "Do you think this flower is the star? That's what Mo and I thought. It was glowing when we found it." She didn't mind him sitting next to her.
"I've only seen the one that night. I haven't seen any others. It was very beautiful." Harley smiled at Cetus and nodded. "Maybe we will see one...unless you want to do something?"

"It's very possible. I've never seen a falling star, but if they are even half as beautiful as..." He had to pause to reconfigure his thoughts. "the flower, then I'd say it's almost definite that it is." Kaitos rolled his eyes, thinking that Cetus was spewing a load of crock.
"I'm content to star gazing and keeping you company. IF that's what you wish my dear."

"You think? You know maybe we will see another. I think they are wonderful. You need to see one yourself." Harley nodded. "Maybe we can get hot cocoa afterward?" It was cold after all. She was thinking ahead. She wanted to spend time with another for once. Harley hated never seeing others again.

He looked at her and smiled. "Consider it a date." He looked up. "Though I think if we were further away from the lights of the shop, we would see more stars. Care to go for a stroll?" he offered.

Harley looked back at the store then to the sky. She hadn't even thought of that. "Okay, sure. I guess I didn't notice that before. Then we can get the hot cocoa." Harley stood up and winked at Cetus.
Jester floated by.

He nodded, standing too and walking a few paces before glancing at the store. The lights seemed to always be on. It was like it never slept. Humans...
"I think there's a hill by the edge of the woods. It might be the ideal place to gaze upon the lovely sky." he winked at her. "Shall I lead the way?"

Harley nodded. "Sure. It will be best as the trees of the forest would block the view as well." She then followed him. "It looks pretty out doesn't? The night sky and the snow." She liked how it looked even if it happened to be a bit cold.

He nodded. "From what I've read, it's cold out in space where the stars are. Perhaps the snow is really fallen star dust." He knew it was absurd, but he wanted to see just how she felt about it. Harley was a very lovely winiko, though quite naive as well it seemed. It added to her charm.
They crossed over a small frozen stream as they rounded the outside of the tree line towards the hill.

"Really do you think?" Harley put her nose to the snow and sniffed it. This made her sneeze and that caused the snow to flutter around like a snow globe. "I don't know... then why does it only snow in the winter?"
Harley began to walk again. The frozen stream looked pretty. Things were pretty in the winter.
