Bryan’s Friend, John

“Where were you Bryan?” said Bryan’s Mom, Libby.

“I told you, I was on the moon visiting the man on the moon. His name’s John,” said Bryan who’s 8 and loves to tell stories, but this wasn’t a story, it was real.

“Alright Bryan. Can you take me tonight to see your friend then? I want to talk to him too,” said Libby still not believing where Bryan went.

“Yes Mom. I have an extra spacesuit you can wear he gave me to have. He said he no longer needs it and just gave it to me to keep. He said it was from an astronaut that visits him,” said Bryan.

That same night came and Michael, an astronaught came to pick up Bryan. He told him that his Mom wanted to come talk to John. Bryan’s Father, Brent said it was alright that both of them went with Michael. He wanted to go but they didn’t have an extra spacesuit he could wear so he had to stay home that night.

“Well, we’ll see if you’re telling the truth or not Bryan,” said Libby while looking at Michael.

“Hello mam, I’m Michael. I’m a NASA astronaut. I’m friends with your son. We met online and he told me he wanted to be an astronaut and wanted to meet the man on the moon. The man on the moon’s real and his name’s John,” said Michael.

“Well, alright. I want to meet John and talk to him,” said Libby still not believing all of this yet.

The three of them rode to NASA, then Michael put them on board a space shuttle. Just like Michael said, they’re going up to the moon. After they arrived, they took a small vehicle to ride to John’s home.

“Well, here we are, this is John’s home,” said Michael.

“I’m starting to believe all of this,” said Libby.

Unfortunately, John wasn’t home. He was out collecting moon rocks. Now Libby didn’t believe that John was real.

“I knew that the man on the moon wasn’t real,” said Libby.

“Well, he could be out collecting moon rocks. He likes to do that. That’s where Bryan got them from,” said Michael.

“Mom, can we wait for John? I want you to meet him,” said Bryan eagerly.

"Yes, but only for a little while,” said Libby.

Not long after Libby spoke, a man in a small vehicle appeared. He dismounted near the opening of his protective home bubble and approached everyone. He shut off his vehicle and started to talk.

“Hello everyone, my name’s John. I’m the so called man on the moon,” said John.

“Well, you are real then. I was beginning to not believe this. It’s nice to meet you John. My name’s Libby. My son told me that you’re his friend,” said Libby.

“Well, please do come into my home and let’s talk,” said John waving everyone to come into his home.

Everyone talked to John. He gave Libby some moon rocks. He told her that he and her son were friends and that this was all real. Libby was happy and told her husband about this when she got home.

Brent eventually got a spacesuit and he got to go up to meet John too. Now Libby and Brent believed Bryan about his friend John and going up to the moon at night. When Bryan grew up, he moved next door in a bubble home next to John. His parents came to visit him often and they also collected moon rocks.
