Marsiana
CHAPTER 6
A neighbor boy named Billy fell in love with Marsiana. It happened two weeks after the appearance of Marsiana in the house of Mrs. Carter. Billy was already seven years old and Marsiana when he first saw the little girl was six years, sometimes, especially in the mornings, she looked even like seven or eight. In general, Marsiana did not look like a baby, whom Max passed into the hands of Mrs. Carter.
At first, Mrs. Carter was in shock, but since she was a smart woman, she decided to do nothing and wait for the moment when appears her daughter and all explained to her. She, in turn, explained her neighbors’ presence of Marsiana in her house in a very simple way. She said that granddaughter of her elder sister came to visit her. The fact that Marsiana in two weeks from the baby turned into a six-year old girl, remained almost unnoticed. Mrs. Carter’s house was located on a deserted street, and almost all the neighbors were already aged, and to be honest, not all remember how many years of their own grandchildren. Billy lived two houses away from Mrs. Carter and unusual girl sitting for hours near the flowers immediately attracted his attention. And now he decided to become acquainted with her. Billy cautiously entered the gate and walked on tiptoe to Marsiana and still stood a few steps behind her. He did not want to bother her. Mrs. Carter was not at home, she just was gossiping with grandmother of Billy, and the boy knew that disturb him acquainted with Marsiana, no one will. In the house of Mrs. Carter, there were no one but the elderly woman and Marsiana any more. ‘What are you doing?’ he asked, arguing that it is time to say something. ‘Look at the flowers,’ Marsiana said, and looked at the boy. Billy silently looked at the flowers, too. Honestly, he did not understand what can be seen interesting in flowers. Flowers like flowers. He had seen them a million times! They're all alike. In the sense that bloom a few days, then fade and no use of them. Another thing was IPhone or tablet! That's the thing. In his hands he just kept a brand new IPhone. He wanted to show off to Marsiana. ‘My name is Billy,’ he introduced himself. ‘Marsiana.’ ‘I’ve got a new IPhone,’ Billy boasted to. ‘But I’ve got the Mars,’ Marsiana said in his tone. ‘So what. There is nothing boast with it. Any child can buy in the store bar “Mars”,’ Billy exclaimed contemptuously. ‘You are the bar yourself!’ Marsiana with regret looked at the flowers, rose to her feet. Billy came in a wrong time and interrupted her interesting exploration. But she did not take offense to him. She was even interesting to talk with him. She has not yet talked to the any children on the Earth. Mrs. Carter said something to her about it, even wanted to meet with some, but Marsiana showed no great desire. With flowers and a cat she was far more interesting to chat. Billy did not understand what kind of Mars, she said about, and continued to show off his IPhone. ‘I have also a lot of flowers. Look,’ Marsiana said not understanding what kind of a box Billy was waving before her face and what use of it was. ‘Everybody got flowers but IPhone only few kids,’ Billy explained gave himself airs. ‘I understand,’ Marsiana said indifferently. ‘Is that all?’ she was getting boring. Billy realized that the IPhone has not made the object of his yearnings of the expected experience. ‘I have one thing,’ he said slyly, and showed to Marsiana what kind of thing he talked. Marsiana in return silently lifted her dress. Billy from surprise sat down on the ground. Along the abdomen of Marsiana were at least ten things. One shone like a bubble. Around the second circled tiny butterflies and bees. Another was transparent, and stunned boy saw inside the snow and were riding the miniature penguins. The rest of the things of Marsiana were similar to anything familiar to Billy. ‘They are not real!’ Billy exclaimed in shock and stammering. They are not kike right one!’ he said, continuing to stare. Marsiana lowered her dress. ‘You know too much,’ she said condescendingly. ‘It’s you not real!’ Billy got up on all fours and, without saying a word, quickly crawled to the gate. Then he jumped up and ran away without looking back. He even forgot to grab his IPhone. Marsiana looked after him, smiled and sat down again near the flowers. About Billy she no longer thought.
