“That’s easy,” said Stella. “It HAS to be you, Rosie.”

Phoebe nodded. “You’re the best storyteller,” she said to Rosie. “And you love doing it, right?”

Rosie smiled, but she felt a bit nervous. It was true that she loved making up stories. But usually she did it just for fun. She’d never had to invent one that mattered so much!

The bigger moth fluttered over and came to rest in front of her. He crossed two legs impatiently. “Well?” he said. “We can’t wait all day, you know.”

“It’s not like nighttime is about to fall anytime soon,” muttered Stella.

Rosie thought fast. She often put her friends into the stories she told at their sleepovers. They always seemed to enjoy that. Maybe the moths would like it, too?

It was worth a try.

“Once upon a time, there were two moths,” she began. “They were beautiful brown-and-pink moths, and they lived together in the special place where the rays of sunset lifted up to the sky.”

The little moth fluttered his wings excitedly. “Just like us, Dad!”

The younger moth leaned forward, listening intently. Even the grumpy dad moth seemed interested.

Rosie closed her eyes and let the story flow out of her. Often when Rosie was telling a story, it didn’t really feel like she was making it up at all. It was more like she was unfurling the story that was rolled up inside her.

This story was like that. It was about a brave little moth and his dad, who were going to a midnight ball on the moon. Their wings were specially painted with stardust so they would shine brightly in the pale light. Some friendly Night Dragons gave the moths a lift up to the moon. Then the moths danced so beautifully, they were made the king and prince of the Midnight Moon Ball.

While she was talking, Rosie almost forgot where she was. This happened when she was telling a story. She got so lost in it that she didn’t think about anything else but the tale itself.

When she finished, she slowly opened one eye and then the other. It all came flooding back. She was a Night Dragon in the Magic Forest. And she was telling a grumpy moth and his son a story in exchange for a trip to the daydream maker.
