Skye Prower

I'm... not sure I could call it awesome overall. Great fun, don't get me wrong, but the issue seemed just a tad short on the awesomeness....

"Thanks Dad," said Skye, returning to his eating. 'Yeah. We don't want to rush this,' thought Melody.

"I won't Dad. Only when it's the truth," promised Skye 'Yeah, I think we might wanna avoid that one!' thought Melody "There you go," said Anna to Hope, "Dylan can show you the pic and you can see what happened."

"But I am still kinda hungry," said Skye. "I used up a LOT of energy with all the magic I cast today." 'Hmm, I dunno. Somewhere nice. Maybe even a pocket Zone...' thought Melody "Dylan might have caught it on camera," said Anna to Hope.

"Uh, yeah," said Skye, looking a little embarrassed. 'Oh no we don't!' thought Melody. 'It's enchanted. It could be bigger on the inside! Infact, I'm thinking we should have it so we arrive there by going through any door in the world and thinking a password, and the castle will teleport us there!' "I think we did," said Melody aloud. "Oh, it wouldn't be so funny to explain," said Anna. ------------- Ziona shook her head. "It's not fun. Not really. And we've only just finished fighting a very costly war."

"I know Dad. That's why I'm not having a fourth piece," explained Skye. 'Hmm,' thought Melody, 'I think we've just got ourselves a project.' Anna, catching sight of what just happened between Shadow and Rouge, giggled. ------------ "No," Ziona answered frankly. "I only took the job to visit other Zones. In No-Zone, you're either a Cop, or the work you do revolves around the Cops. And only the Zone Cops are allowed to leave No-Zone."

Skye laughed. "I'll try not to Dad. But this cake is delicious." -------------- "Start by asking you questions? Or start by just telling you about myself?" asked Ziona

'Well, it was a literal 'enchanted castle',' thought Melody, grinning as the ice cream arrived and was handed out, gaining a 'yummy' from Skye. 'It's hard to get more interesting than that!' -------------- "Sure thing," said Ziona, sitting down. "So what do you want to know?"

'Yeah. I remember...' Melody started to think wistfully, 'back in the castle I used to have an enchanted mirror that I could use to try out all sort of looks... oh, sorry you're probably finding this boring.' -------------- Ziona smiled, glad to see Berry happy. Keeping her distracted until Kayl and Glen returned seemed like the best idea. "So do you want to watch a movie? Or just talk?" she asked.

'Well, one you get a bit better at magic, you can play around with a few illusions to see if you like the look before jumping in,' said Melody, watching the waiting staff impatiently for her ice cream ----------- "Sounds like a good idea," said Ziona. She called room service. "Should be up in a few minutes," Ziona informed Berry.

(ooc: That was a wee while ago! Stuff happened since then! :P ) "Not so bad? It's great!" said Skye. He'd already tucked into once piece while saving another for the ice cream. 'I do think so, but then, we know I'm the more girly of the two of us. Not that you'd think to to look at us!' Melody thought as she gave her order to the waiter, followed by Anna. ------------ "So, what do you want to eat?" asked Ziona, picking up the room service phone.

"Here they are," said Melody, pulling out the coupons. "Okay, I'll wave over a waiter," she said, doing just that. 'That's what I mean. It was the starting point... Red hair might suit you though?' ---------------- "I wasn't sleeping. I was just pondering our random visitor just then," explained Ziona. (ooc: Pretty sure I didn't say Ziona was sleeping.)

"I was what?" asked Ziona as she handed Berry a Room Service menu.

'Otherwise you and Shadow might not be friends' thought Melody as she reached for a slice saying "Thanks." "Can we order some ice cream to go with the cake?" asked Skye. "Hold on, I think I still have my coupons with me!" said Melody. ------------- "A bit, yeah," Ziona replied to Berry. "Maybe we should have joined the others at the restaurant after all. Never-mind. How about room service?"

'Hmm, yeah you kinda do. At least, if the Maria from this worlds looked the same as the ghost in Dylan's world,' thought Melody. As Anna cut the cake, her doubts about staying in this other world disappeared. For the first time since the revelation of who Skye and melody were, she felt sure of herself.

Melody was struggling not to laugh either 'Oh, was it bare handed then?' she thought. "Yeah. Thank's Daddy," replied Anna, starting to cut several very neat slices.

"Here, here," called out Skye. "And a few quieter one's too! And don't worry about cutting the cake Anna. We've got the moment on camera." Anna gave a little smile in response. "So who want's cake then?" she asked. An image popped up in Melody's mind of Hope, a tazer in each hand, zapping Shadow and Locke until they surrendered.

"Thanks Dylan," said Skye. 'He did? I've gotta hear that story sometime!' thought Melody. Anna picked up a knife and turned to the cake. "Seems almost a shame to cut it," she said.

'I know. I remember that argument you had with Dad," thought Melody. "Okay Dylan, whenever you're ready," said Skye as everyone was in the picture.

Melody had to struggle not to laugh. 'Should I feel insulted that you'd go that far rather than have me as a sister?' she teased.

'Sure thing. Just makes sure Dad doesn't find out though. Otherwise he'll certainly try an bring you into our family too!' joked Melody.

Melody's face fell. 'I'm sorry Hope. I didn't mean...'

(ooc: I haven't had trouble with it glitching on me yet! Fingers crossed it stays that way.) 'I guess we'll find out,' thought Melody. 'But you're meant to be the idea girl!'. "Happy to be home... Sis?" Skye asked Anna. She turned to him smiling broadly. "You have no idea."

"I think she's got it!" said Melody to Red, then to the rest of the table, "Family around Anna for the pic!" She got up to stand next to her sister, as did Skye. Anna was now grinning stupidly at everyone. 'Let's prey it's not my only one' Melody thought.

Melody smiled and nodded at the younger Red. "Yeah. Well, me an' Hope. I just wanted her to fully understand that we've accepted her." she whispered back 'I know. But if you hadn't spotted that store I'd have probably run right past and into the next town,' Melody thought at the same time.
