It starts with a girl and a boy. The night is silent, as the city sleeps. A gentle breeze whistles through the thick summer heat, creating the weather of perfection.
An elementary school. A playground. There are no children, there is no one in sight. Nostalgia all around. The girl and boy frolic through the deserted funhouse, reminiscing on how its like to go on a swing, or to go down a slide. They remember how its like to be a kid again.
There is at tree up ahead. Boy spots it and runs quickly towards it, leaving Girl behind on the swings with no one to push her. Girl turns around to find Boy up high on a branch. "Hey!" she cries, "I want to get up there too!" Girl tries to climb but fails as she realizes that she had no such thing as upper body strength. As though on command, Boy leaps down from the tree and hoists Girl right up until she is safe on a branch. Boy joins. Side by side they sit, looking up at the dark, clear sky. They see a few stars, and perhaps even a planet.
He doesn't know it, but was her perfect summer night.
