Ponyo lifted her paws. Front, back, front, back. She ran so fast that they barely touched the ground, like as if she was swimming trough the nightly forest. She made one last elegant jump and then landed silently on a clearing. Her sparkling eyes glinstened in the light of the moon and the leaves of trees around her rustled in the breeze of the night.
In the middle of the open place was laying a tiny cub, it's ears and tail made out of strawberries and it's green fur the color of fresh moss. It looked barely a month old. She licked it softly, but no sign of life. It was cold and didn't move a single bug-length. She took the numb body of the little creature and sat down carefully, brushing it's messy fur flat, that felt soft like velvet.
A quiet melody spread over the clearing as the mysterious young lioness mumbled a song with words no one could understand, and strings of blue and pink light sank down from the sky and danced between the trees. They lifted up the tiny creature and played with it in the air, before slowly laying it back down in Ponyo's paws and dissapear into the night.
Silence.
Ponyo gazed at the little animal without expression, but her eyes sparkled with hope and contained the reflection of the stars.
Then, it let out a little squeal, barely hearable, and started to knead its paws softly in Ponyo's. She smiled, took the cub between her teeth and leaped away just as smoothly and elegantly as she came, leaving the clearing like nothing ever happened and everything was just a dream.
