Grinelda Plays (Luna, Part Twelve)
The next morning Grinelda took Luna to an amusement arcade hidden in the back streets of Moon City. Luna was rather baffled by Grinelda’s choice of pastime. Then she remembered her time training the space grannies to fly, and it began to make sense.
Grinelda seemed to know exactly what she was after. She led Luna to a machine with a garish display and a console of brightly coloured spheres. She proceeded to play furiously on the machine, groaning each time she lost and grinning madly with each small win.
“I know I can do it. I just need more time,” she said, giving Luna a handful of small change. “Go and have some fun!”
Half an hour later, Luna was startled by a loud cry from across the arcade.
“I’ve won, I’ve won! I knew I could beat the machine! I am the Queen of the Gamers!”
Luna hurried over to see what the fuss was all about. Grinelda proudly held up a glowing orb.
“Just look at that!” she said.
“Lovely!” exclaimed Luna, “But what exactly is it?”
