The old tv flickers making a static sound, you can barley hear the words coming from it "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." The picture is blurry and hard to make out but there sitting right into front of the ancient device is a little viscet. His eyes widen in excitement as he hears those words. He watches in great detail as the man takes his first step onto the new atsmophere. "Mama did you see that, did you see that? Huh?!" He says with enthusiasm jumping all around "Yes Bow, I saw. For the hundredth time yes." Replies an elder viscet. "Now it's time for bed" she leaves the room him following in suit behind her. "When is papa coming home? I miss him." The youngling says hopping up in he bed "He'll be home soon Bowman, just wait and have faith." His mother says grabbing his Space Oddesy blanket and tucking him in. "Why did he have to go, the war is so stupid, he shouldn't be there. Papa needs to be here." Bowman says in a sad tone. His mother flicks his forehead and sighs "Don't you dare say that. Your father is fighting for us. And I'm not sure when he'll be back, but he's always here." She places her paw on his chest where his heart is. He puffs his cheeks out and sighs "Fineee, but when he gets back we're going to go to the moon, and then watch 2001: A Space Odyssey!" He cheers. His mother grins "Yes, yes we will." She turns out his light and closes his door. That night little Bowman dreamt of going to the moon, he dreamt that he was the first viscet to ever step foot. He had a good nights sleep.

Yawning the little one opens his eyes and crawls out of bed. He heads into the kitchen but suddenly stops hearing a whimper "Mama? Is that you?" He asks creeping closer to the sound "I-it's ok honey. Just get some breakfast, I'll be there in a minute." She yells back. Shacking it off he listens to her and goes and puts a bowl of his favorite cereal 'Count Chocula' setting at the table he digs in. A few minutes pass and his mother comes in, tear filling her eyes. "Mama what's wrong? Did I do something?" He asks in a sweet confused tone. The tension in the air was thick, you could tell just by being in the room something bad had happened. "Sweetie we need to talk." She slowly walks over to the table and takes a seat beside him. Taking a deep breath she sighs and places a paw on his shoulder. He quickly shoves about her but of feral in his mouth and swollows. "I just got a call from the troops this morning, before you woke up....papa isn't coming home Bowman...." she trails off not wanting to explain why, tear fall down her face hitting the table. "What do you mean mama?" Bowman replied tilting his head "Sid papa go to the moon without us?!" He says dropping his spoon "How dare he I re-" she cuts him off "No Bowman, he didn't go to the moon....papa is gone sweetheart. He went up to heaven...." she turns not wanting to look at him for it would make her even more sad. Suddenly realization hits him. He starts to tremble and clentchs his fist dropping his spoon in his bowl. They say there for who know how long, waiting for the other to say something, finally Bo speaks up "Well like you said mama. Papa was helping our country. And he did a good job...." a single tear drops down from his eye. His mother quickly pulls him into her arms and they cried together. "Well I guess I'm the man of the house now." Bowman whispers out trying to lighten the mood. His mom wipes his tear away with her apron and smiles "I guess you are. But Bo, don't let this destroy you ok? Your farther wouldn't want that. I bet he's up on that moon waiting for you." She smiles and gives him a kiss on the forehead.

"Ok all systems check, ready for take off." Says a gruff voice. The viscet gets in his suit and puts his helmet on. He climbs in a seat and places his hands on the dashboard full of buttons and switches. "Ok Bowman you're all set, ready whenever you are." Says another voice coming from the seat next to him. Nodding Bowman pushes a few buttons and the craft starts to shake. "Take off in 10...9....8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1... " A grin crawls up his face "See you up there dad."
