“Sophia, did you hear that noise?” Noah whispered, clutching his stuffed owl tightly.
Sophia, his trusty owl, blinked her button eyes. "Hoo-hoo?"
The noise came again, a soft tapping at the window. But they lived on the 10th floor! Noah, being a very intelligent boy, knew that was impossible. He peeked through the curtains. Floating outside, bathed in moonlight, was a big, friendly-looking…moon!
It had a door and windows just like a house, and a sign that read “Moon Doctor.” Noah’s eyes widened. He’d never met the Moon Doctor before! He threw open the window. “Hello?”
A booming voice chuckled. "Well, hello there! You must be Noah. Hop in, your appointment is ready!"
Noah was a little scared. He didn't like going to the doctor, even if it was on the moon! But remembering what his mom always said – that doctors help us feel better – he took a deep breath and climbed onto the moon. Sophia followed, flapping her wings excitedly.
The moon whooshed upwards, stars swirling past them. Soon, they landed on the moon’s surface, everything covered in sparkly dust. Inside, the Moon Doctor's office was cozy, with glowing plants and a telescope pointed at Earth.
The Moon Doctor, a round, jolly fellow with craters for dimples, chuckled. "Don't look so worried, Noah! I'm not here to give you shots.” He winked, making Noah giggle. “I hear you’re going to the doctor tomorrow, and I wanted to give you something special.”
He pulled out a box filled with moonbeams, shimmering like rainbows. “This, my boy, is a magical mix-up! Sprinkle it on your breakfast cereal, and it’ll make you extra brave."
Just then, a figure in a pointed hat popped out from behind a moon rock. It was a Magician! He had a long, white beard and a twinkle in his eye. “And this," the Magician boomed, holding up a tiny bottle filled with sparkling dust, "is a sprinkle of starlight! It’ll help you tell the doctor all about how you feel.”
Noah was amazed. He took the gifts, his shyness melting away. "Wow, thank you!"
The Magician and the Moon Doctor exchanged a knowing look. "Taking care of your health is important, young Noah," the Moon Doctor said kindly. “And sometimes, a little magic makes things easier.”
He led Noah and Sophia back to the moon-house. As they flew back to Earth, Noah felt braver than ever. He had moonbeams and starlight, and he knew that going to the doctor tomorrow wouldn’t be so scary after all. He even thought it might be fun to tell the doctor all about his adventure with the Moon Doctor and the Magician!
Back in his room, Noah tucked Sophia in and sprinkled a tiny bit of moonbeam dust on his bedside table. As he drifted off to sleep, he saw the Moon Doctor winking at him from the night sky. He knew tomorrow was going to be a good day.
