Luna yawned and rubbed her eyes. She was tucked in her cozy bed, but something glimmered outside her window. A soft silver path stretched across the grass… It sparkled like stardust. Marbles the rabbit hopped close to Luna's pillow. His fur was warm and soft as a cloud. "Shall we see where it goes?" Luna whispered. Marbles twitched his nose gently, yes. Luna and Marbles followed the starlight path. It led them to a garden they'd never seen before. The flowers glowed with the softest light… Pink and gold and gentle blue. Everything smelled like honey and warm milk. "It's so quiet here," Luna said softly. The garden hummed a sleepy lullaby. Marbles nestled close to Luna's feet. But then Luna noticed something. The flowers were drooping, their glow growing dim. "They look tired," she whispered. Luna knelt down in the soft grass. She touched one flower with her fingertip. "Maybe they need to rest," she said gently. So Luna sang the quietest song. Just three soft notes, like a goodnight wish. Marbles closed his eyes and listened. The flowers sighed and folded their petals, one by one. Their glow became a warm, sleepy shimmer. "Goodnight, little flowers," Luna whispered. The garden hummed its lullaby again, softer now. Luna yawned. Marbles was already dreaming, curled against her. The starlight path glowed gently, leading them home. Luna climbed back into her cozy bed. Marbles snuggled close. Outside, the sleepy garden glowed like a nightlight. Luna closed her eyes. Everything was warm. Everything was safe. And Luna drifted into the softest dreams.
