As the stars twinkled gaily in the sky, they could only laugh - They watched the moon through all its phases, crescent, quarter, gibbous, full, and half. But as she cycled through her lunar changes, grieving for all love untrue, the stars sadly noticed that the moon was always blue. So, they charmed a gentle nightingale, "Please sing your pretty tune", and "the stars beckoned her song to reach the crescent moon."

Thanks Joseph, I like these contests where I need to incorporate a certain phrase or words. It helps with writing block, and also it might nudge me to write about something a bit different.
