=DECALOGUE (SABRINA)=

==One evening, John went over to his friend Sally's house and entered her TV room. Inside it, there was a coffee table propped up with popcorns, french fries and coke for two people. A couch was seemingly shoved in front of the mega-screened, jumbo TV. Splayed on the leather couch was three different movies - obviously for John to choose which one they will be watching. There were big pillows and even blankets - Sally must've known that John can easily fall asleep during movies. ==

==John shrugged out of his brown jacket and stepped closer to the TV. Even though he had been in this exact same room almost every weekend, he was still amazed at how technology-advanced it is. He had never seen a TV that big, either. As John looked around, waiting for Sally to come, he noticed that a drink bar was placed on the edge of the room - complete with cool, refreshing drink and a variety of food. //Wow,// John thought. //I could live here forever! //== ==Soon enough, Sally burst into the room noisily, kicking the door close behind her. She looked up to find John already on the couch. "Hey," Sally greeted him cheerfully. "You're fast today." John laughed. Sally sat down on the couch beside John and picked up the three films. One was about romance, which Sally actually hated but John loved, one about action, both of them hated this but Sally thought it would be interesting for once, and the last was a documentary about outer space, which both of them loved. "So, had you chosen yet?" Sally asked, flipping over the outer space documentary, hoping John had //not// chosen the romantic one. ==

=="No," John answered. "I was thinking about the outer space one, though. What do you think?" Sally brightened up and replied, "That's super awesome! I love that one." She ran over to the DVD player and put in the disc carefully. A minute later, on the TV, the picture of a man sitting behind a desk appeared. Then, as the movie continued, the camera pans out of the country and showed a round Earth, all green and blue. ==

=="Ha!" John exclaimed, as the camera shows the Earth. "I //told// you that the Earth //is// sphere!" Sally sulked, "Okay, fine. Yes, the Earth is sphere. Yes, you win. Whatever." She stuck out her tongue. John grinned and said, "I always thought like that. You were just so stubborn. And you didn't even believe it when the teacher said that the Earth is round." Sally mock-pouted and shot back, "Well, at least I have my own opinion." John simply laughed. ==

==Both watched on as the movie showed an overview of the outer space. Sally watched, riveted by the beauty. She turned to John and told him, "You know? I was always so amused at how my friends said the outer space is boring. I mean, look at //that//!" She gestured to the screen. "It's amazing. The opposite of boring." John agreed, "Yeah. My friends said that too. Well, at least we both think the same way." He smiled. Sally blushed, and looked away from him and back to the movie. Nobody knows it, but actually, deep down, Sally liked John. He was fun to be with, and is a great friend. ==

=="You know...Sometimes I think of defying gravity," John spoke up. Sally looked over and looked at him questioningly. John continued, "Like, you know...Floating. It would be so cool. Don't you want to try it?" Sally hadn't even thought about it before, but now that John had talked about the idea, she seemed to love it. The idea of her feet leaving the floor and up onto the air would be so much fun. "Yeah, and I know one place where we //could// do that," Sally told him. John asked, "Where? Obviously not on the Earth." Sally rolled her eyes, but continued, "Of course at the outer space!" ==

==At the mentioning of outer space, they both looked again towards the movie. It was showing a preview of the planets. "Going there will be awesome," John remarked wistfully. "Yeah, by using spaceships," Sally joked. "Hey, I love that idea!" John exclaimed, clapping his hands excitedly. "Me too," Sally joined in. A voice from the television brought back their attention. It was a reporter's voice. //"And, as you can see, right now we are seeing the last planet, Pluto. It has been said by the scientists that Pluto is no longer a planet, though, because of it being too small."// The camera pans over and gives a good view of Pluto. ==

==John scoffed, "Those scientists. Always making up things. Pluto is not //that// small. It still could be a planet." Sally agreed, "I believe it, too. After all, why do planets have to be so //big//?" They both nodded their heads together and laughed. John's brown eyes twinkled. Everytime he talked about space, John always looked animated. Sally added, "Pluto looks great, too. If only I could go there, I would totally bring a camera with me." "Cause the view's too good to let go?" John joked. Sally nodded enthusiastically. She had a Canon camera, and half of the pictures inside it were about space. "Oh, and there's another planet that could be a good recreational place," John said. "Mars?" asked Sally. He nodded his head, smiling. Of all the planets there were, John was always most crazy about Mars. For Sally, she loved Saturn the most. "Seeing Mars is a dream come true," John added. ==

=="Aliens too," said Sally dreamily. John knocked her head gently and joked, "You //still// think that?" "Of course! I don't believe your stupid nonsense that aliens are fake and made up by storytellers," Sally said, reaching for the popcorn. John smirked, but he said, "If I could speak their language, I'd probably tell them to meet you. You're such a big fan of aliens." Sally grinned, " I would love to do that, too." ==

==After an hour or so, the movie had ended. They both stood up and stretched while droning on and on, talking about how awesome the movie was and how next time Sally would scavenge for more outer space movies for them to watch together. It was quite late, the air cold, and the stars were coming out. Sally walked John to the front porch, where she was about to say bye, but was interrupted by John's shout. ==

=="Oh my God! Sally, look! Up there!" John pointed to the sky. Sally looked up just in time to see a streak of beautiful white, almost-silver light pass through the night sky. For three stunning seconds, the sky was picture-perfect. When the shooting star can't be seen anymore, Sally looked at John, wide-eyed."Wow. Oh, wow! I've never seen a shooting star before!" That's when Sally saw John's eyes was shut, and his hands clasped. "John! Are you //wishing on a shooting star//?" Sally was amused. John opened his eyes, unclasped his hands and put them in his pockets. "Yeah. I always do. I think that it's not exactly //a fake story//. Maybe it can be true," John shrugged. Sally giggled. She waved goodbye as John gave her a wave. He walked back to his parked car. Sally sighed. It had been a great evening - and all about //outer space// too! ==
