The Two Moons

Once upon a time on a far away planet there were two moons. The people that inhabited the planet had voted and decided to get rid of one of the moons because having two was excessive. The people that lived on the far away planet loved having only one of everything and the two moons went against everything they stood for. The moonswho had been married for many years turned on each other and pleaded their cases. The blue moon said that it would promise to sing every toddler to sleep every night and the red moon promised it would fill the hearts of soldiers with undefeatedable courage. The blue moon weeped every night. He had proposed to his red moon that they'd stand together united against the people but the red moon's heart was full of fear and he turned on his beloved. The great leaders of the planet wanted to keep the red moon as it would mean conquest of the nearby galaxy who had been acting like cunts, to be honest, lately. The caretakers of the planet rooted for the blue moon and argued that if the toddlers slept, the soldiers could rest and have enough energy to slay the nearby galaxy. War broke out between the leaders and the caretakers and no one survived but the soldiers and the toddlers. For every one soldier there were two toddlers, so they rewrote their laws and praised that everything in twos was perfect. The soldiers found it in their hearts to raise the toddlers, but the blue moon never forgave the red moon even after years and years of couples therapy.
