It's the concept I'm worried about. She wants it to be a duet where one of us the the sun and the other one is the moon and we're in love and singing back and forth to each other.

For example:

Hey Luna.
How's it going, Ray?
How is your night?
How is your day?

Like... wtf.

Edit:
Good advice though, you're completely right.
