Skye Prower

Let's f-find a t-town, or a m-map.

"So, uh, this is about the Melody's idea. Does everyone know about it?" Skye asked, looking mainly at Red. "And how do you two feel about it?" -------------- "I'll just need to be imaginative then!" said Ziona

"Really? Huh! I'd assumed as you were good with hitting thing with a bat you'd be good at throwing." Miles knelt down and picked up another two stones, handing one to Zamy. "If you hold it like thing, and move your hand this way when you throw it," he said, moving his hand slowly to show her, then fast to send then stone skimming.

"Maybe that's because some of us haven't been getting enough sleep," muttered the younger Melody to herself, thinking back to the reason Locke had collapsed a few days ago, "So how are we gonna triumph over this one?" asked Skye. -------------- "I'll need to think of something then," said Ziona.

'Hope I... Oh, she's gone,' thought Melody, suddenly feeling far more alone. Skye looked around the room. The younger Melody seemed to be almost wilting on the bed, while the older one was hiding behind him from Red. Anna was sitting on the floor in a corner, slightly curled up. 'This is not the happy reunion I was hoping for,' thought Skye. --------------- "Yeah. Just the kind of day you want for a walk. We must be lucky," said Miles. As they passed a pond, Miles stooped to pick up a stone an skimmed it across the water.

"Fine," snapped Melody, crossing her arms. "Let's just get this over with." 'I'm sorry Hope, but it's like arguing with a brick wall,' thought Melody. 'This is not going well,' thought Skye to himself. "Skye, I thought you said you had a nice family," the older sister whispered in his ear. "Normally we do. Things are just... rather strained right now," he whispered back. (ooc: First that name thing, then sending Hope away? You're gonna have a hard time convincing Melody now Locke.) ------------- "I thought you said YOU were going to surprise ME tonight," laughed Ziona.

Thanks Seviper. See Fluffy, you've several friends who are gonna help you find her.

*hugs Fluffy as hard as he can, crying himself* She won't have gone. She'll be waiting for you. These things always work out in the end. I'm sure she isn't gone.

*tries not to cry himself* We'll find her. I promise.

"Are you trying to guilt me into this?" snarled Melody. Then she took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Dad, I'm... I'm really on edge with all this. If I could run I'd be far away from Haven by now. Hope... Just by being here she's helping me keep it together. I... don't know what I'd do if she left." ------------ "We'll save it till this evening then," said Ziona giving him a playful tickle.

(ooc: Of course this isn't gonna be another TDH. First: We're not going dark. 2. We have a way to move around. 3. If we are just gonna get home, well, we ARE in Seviper's home!) *blushes at Fluffy squeezing more tightly, then turns when he hear her sobbing.* Don't worry. We might be back, just in a place we don't recognize. And even if not, we can try again until we get you back home.

*Squeezes tightly on other tail, still slightly weirded out by someone else squeezing a tail*

"It can't do much harm to have them stay, can it Dad? They already know Melody's plan, and things arn't gonna get much stranger than that," said Skye. Melody held on slightly tighter to Hope, looking at Locke with pleading eye's. "Please. I want her to stay." ------------ Miles happily followed Zmay into the park. ------------- "Mmm, was that filling enough for you?" asked Ziona.

Let's head to that path. But I think you're Dad is there. *points at Locke*

45

Don't be Fluffy. We're here to keep you safe.

"Dylan! I'm sure you don't need to go," called Skye, glancing towards Locke as he shouted. "Thanks Hope," said Melody squeezing her hand. ----------- "Is that a park over there? It looks like a park," said Miles pointing.

Ready to go Fluffy?

"Thank's Dy..." began Melody before Locke spoke. "Hi Mom. Good to see you're out of bed," said Skye. "Uh, have you been told about what's going on?" The older Melody was backing away slightly from Red. "Are you sure I can't go?" she asked. "I do want Hope to stay," said the younger Melody. 'But we can still talk if you leave!' she thought. ------------ "And I thought I was the hesitant one," laughed Ziona, then she grabbed Glen tightly and kissed him.

We'll l-look Dylan. But we should g-go far in case anyone else a-arrives.

"I do want a new name," sobbed Melody. "I want a new everything!" 'I know you think it's weird, but do you understand now why I want to go through with this?' she thought. "Then maybe I should just step outside the room," the older Melody suggested. "She keeps throwing me aside glances." "I don't think she means to do that Melody," said Skye. ----------- "Yeah. It'll be a chance for both of us to try and clear our heads," said Miles.

Agreed. I think I can see a path up ahead.

It's e-ether that or wait h-here Dylan.

I guess.... We need to see if any of the others came through. And find out where we are.

Don't cry Fluffly. Please. Please don't cry. *Hesitates, then hugs her tightly* I'm sure Locke will be here any moment.
