Skye Prower

Skye laughed. "But I think it makes you look cute," he said. ----------- 'If you're sure,' replied Melody. 'Seems a waste of an opportunity though.' ----------- "So which world were you in?" Anna asked. ----------- "I suppose so," replied Ziona

'Well, you could choose one of my dresses and then we could magic it to fit?' offered Melody

"You've changed back," commented Skye as Tikal returned. He beamed at her. "You know, seeing you in modern clothes is nice, but I don't think you can look more lovely than you do right now." -------------- Melody closed the door again. 'That was weird,' she thought. 'Are you getting changed for the meal?' -------------- Anna laughed. "Don't say that!" she joked, "You're already in one!" ------------- "Doesn't look as if we've missed anything," said Ziona as she re-entered the penthouse.

Skye quickly got changed into a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. ---------------- 'Perhaps...' Melody started to think, then jumped as the door opened, but no one came through. ---------------- Anna was still waiting in the main room. "Red?" she asked her friend. "You okay? You seem kinda quiet." ----------------- "We should head back," said Ziona. "I think we lost her anyway!

True to his word, Skye was quick in the shower. "All done," he said to Tikal as he emerged. ------------ Melody laughed. 'Yeah. Dunno if I fit the profile!' ------------ Ziona nodded, then started steering Glen back to the hotel.

"I'll be quick," promised Skye as he headed into the bathroom. ------------ "Any help you need, anything, just ask." said Ziona

"I'm gonna have a quick shower though. I'm still covered in a bit of dirt!" ------------------ 'But you've got me here,' thought Melody. 'Hey, if you get that teleporter working properly, then visiting each other when you're off duty will be easy even if Shadow isn't around. And if that doesn't work, maybe you can find some way to boost this thought-talk thing.' Melody paused. 'Either that or I get a job in the UF myself!' She joked. ------------------ Ziona rested her hand on Glen's shoulder. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to drag that back up. But I'm here now. And this time I'll be able to support you."

"Just the opposite," replied Skye. "If she's wanting a 'normal family' dinner, shouldn't we wear something casual?" -------------- 'My pleasure. I can't imagine you get much chances at proper fun back in the UF' -------------- "Well, actually..." Ziona began, "when you were having that moment in Sandblast city, Skye... he seemed to be trying to protect me then..."

"Yeah. Right now we should be getting ready for Anna's family dinner thing." --------------- 'Hey, there's nothing wrong with a sense of mischief. I wouldn't be your friend if you didn't have some 'spark' to your personality.... We, okay, I would still be your friend. I'd just be doing my best to add that spark to you myself!' thought Melody. --------------- "Sometimes it feels like it's the other way round though!" said Ziona, then she paused. "Or maybe that's just me because of that dream thing..."

"Something to think about for tomorrow. What do we want it to look like? How do we want to decorate it?" Skye said. ------------ Melody gave a sigh of relief. 'Don't scare me like that Hope!' she thought, stealing herself against the wall. 'You're too good at it. But I guess it's revenge for nearly blowing you brain up earlier!' ----------- "Perhaps. But if what she said is true, we may not be the only ones sneaking up on her."

"Actually, I think there was snow in the dream as well," mused Skye. "I'm really looking forward to having this special place for the two of us." ---------------- 'W-w-what?' The gears in Melody's mind seemed to crunch. --------------- "Maybe. But he has a dinner to attend, so we should relieve him!"

'I... I was joking Hope,' thought Melody's a little muted.

"I hope so. I remember the fireplace, and I think that would be a nice addition." --------------- 'Thank's Hope. I'm really glad you're not evil. You could blackmail me so easily!' --------------- Ziona nodded. "Now where did she go?"

'Just... just... please don't tell Skye! I'll never hear the end if it!' begged Melody in her thoughts.

"Oh I do. But I thought... there were things in that dream... subconscious ideas I think. I wanted to try and remember them." -------------- 'Ohmygosh! I am so sorry Hope! I... didn't mean to think anything.... I... You heard that?... I....' If it was possible for thoughts to blush with embarrassment, Melody's were. -------------- "Still, whether they need us or not we should try!"

"I thought you might have dozed off like I did," replied Skye. "I was trying to get back to that dream I had. Didn't work!" ------------------ In her room Melody had put on one of her dresses and was admiring herself in the mirror, twirling around. 'I'm gonna look sooooooo PRETTY!' she thought in a slightly high pitched, excitable tone, maybe a bit to loud. ------------------ Anna shrugged and went back to the main room, sitting down on one of the comfy chair, and tried to clean up her face after the crying. ------------------ "Yeah. I guess it's our job to keep the evening quiet for everyone else," said Ziona as she made to leave the hotel.

"You're awake!" said Skye, turning his head to look at her. ------------- "Oh, she almost certainly is," said Ziona as she slipped into her room to pick up her gauntlet. "So we best be prepared."

Skye slowly woke up, turning on his back he gazed up at the ceiling, thinking. ----------------- Anna stood there looking a bit confused as she was about to introduce herself to the squirrel girl who had suddenly wandered off. "Don't worry about it," said Melody. "We've still plenty of time before dinner. I'm gonna get changed." Melody slipping into their room. -------------- "That might be a good idea Glen," agreed Ziona.

Banned for using 'ya' instead of 'you' and 'cause' rather than 'because'

"Me?" replied Melody. "Just didn't want to interrupt my sister and Dad." ---------- "What an odd girl," Ziona commented.

Anna started sobbing into Locke's chest again, but this time they were happy sobs. 'I'll try and block you out as well. Good practice for that, just in case we ever want privacy!' thought Melody with a little laugh of her own. ------------- Ziona handed Glen a glass of water, then with a smile poured one for Berry. "Here you go," she said, handing it over then drinking a glass of her won. She looked at it disdainfully. "Needs something more than that." She picked up the bottle of juice Melody had left out and poured herself some.
