Mek is carrying a bundle of smeets off to their cradles. They're chirping, wanting to keep playing, but Mek's instincts tell them otherwise. She herself would love to keep playing, but it was nearing Eight O'clock and it was almost time for the smeets to rest.
As she settles them in their cradles one by one, some of them refuse to sleep, protesting with tiny, yet loud chirps. Mek looks back at the little smeets chirping for more playtime as tears roll down their faces. She smiles lightly and sits down in a nearby chair. She inhales deeply as she prepares herself. The smeets went silent upon hearing her soothing voice.
"Lights in the dark, watching you and me"
"Gives us a night full of silence and peace"
"Close your eyes, my dears, nothing to fear"
"The dark can be scary but I'm still here"
"Glow of the moon, watching the earth"
"Gives us a chance of love, life, and birth"
"Close your eyes, darlings, no need to fear"
"The dark may be scary but I'm always here"
Mek watched as all the little smeets were soothed into a slumber. She turned to walk away and heard a tired little smeet ask; "Auntie Mek, where did you get that lullaby?"
Mek turned and smiled; "I wrote it myself... all for my little smeets..."
"Are we your little smeets?"
"Not quite, but you're close enough..."
Mek approached the smeet and gently tickled them with her antenna. The smeet then asked with a light giggle; "so does that mean you have your own smeets?"
Mek whispered and gently tucked the smeet under the blankets, "not yet, but maybe one day." Mek then tucked in the rest of the smeets and quietly left the nursery.
