Moominktober/Inktober Day 31 Farm/Crossover
The Moomins were sad to leave their new friends, but had to go
The adventure was over, so a grand farewell did they bestow
Guy and Sam had their own travels and more places to be
They wanted to see their friends, Gluntz, Michellee and E.B.
The two whos now had stories to tell and charm
They also had to get back to their Green Eggs and Ham farm
Both groups vowed to meet again, one day they’ll could come over
But for the moment, each side had to leave this crossover
…….
Moominpapa, Moominmama, and Snorkmaiden had already started towards the boat and the Amphibian. Joxter had to drag Little My away from Snufkin and Moomintroll so they could say goodbye in private—all while keeping an eye on his boy, lest he disappear again. Moomintroll and Snufkin turned back towards the portal, glancing at the other side. Sam and Guy was staring back at them with a sad and yet grateful smile. Snufkin looked at Moomintroll, who was holding Snufkin’s hat. He held it out for his to take, and Snufkin happily took it back. After placing it back on his head, Snufkin met Moomintroll’s eyes, and briefly glanced back at the two whos. Moomintroll thought for a second, and release that this was the last chance to say goodbye to their dear new friends.
Without another word, he placed his paw on the water-like surface of the transparent doorway. Snufkin turn to fully face Guy and Sam and did the same.
With tears blinked back, Sam and Guy returned the heart-felt motion. They each placed their own paws on the doorway too—with Guy placing his hand near Moomintroll’s paw and Sam’s own hand almost on top of Snufkin’s.
Neither person made a single sound, not one word was needed. This simple gesture was the best way the two couples could their silent, bittersweet goodbyes as the portal slowly and gracefully disappeared.
