Skye Prower

Anna started rubbing her hands together. "It doesn't need to be me... but... I need a message delivered... Red... the one from my time... She won't know what's happened here. And she's still my friend. I did... I did ask Miles to pass on a letter... but..."

"Okay. I'll just grab my book and we'll head off," said Skye as he went into his room. ----------- "I hope so," said Anna, joining in the conversion with Hope as she sat down. Melody nodded at Anna's reply, then stood up and hugged Locke. "Just believe that your family is here for you and we'll stick together no matter what happens." "But... I do need someone to make a quick trip to Moebius..." "What?!?" ------------------- "Yes," replied Ziona. "But the place I want to go right now is the one I asked you to keep me away from..."

Hasn't that been out for ages? It's probably a hobbit one now.

Skye smiled, giving a little laugh. "I think... I could do with some peace and quiet for a bit. Do you wanna head to the nice spot with the little waterfall we found?" ------------------ "Dad. Most of it is just teething trouble with the three of us," said Melody, indicating herself, Anna and Skye. "And the Robotnik thing was just bad timing. It can't always be like this."

"It's okay Hope. It's better than I can talk about it, rather than needing to keep it bottled up. Besides, I was ignored by him mostly. Skye got the worst of it." ----------------- Anna smiled and left the bedroom, giving a little wave as she left.

Umm, right now we're mostly commenting about that monopoly board picture above.

"I certainly didn't see any evidence of it when I was growing up," said Melody, her voice carrying a slight hint of pain, "but there might have been some back then... erm, right now..." --------------- Anna nodded and stood up. "Well, get better soon. And if... if there is anything I can do, please just say."

Hmmm.... I'll be right back..... .............. Blast... didn't work.

"I wasn't expecting his younger self to be infatuated yet. As for when he was older..." Melody thought back. "Honestly, I was pretty convinced the only reason Mother married him was for his schemes and so he could use magic to tidy up after her parties. Now though... I'm beginning to wonder, the way Anna acted... maybe he did have a small, tiny nice part, that he only let her see?" ---------------- "I see. I hope he stays away then. He's not stupid, so he should know how bad an idea it would be."

Not unless I wanted be in the meeting when they planned all this stuff, and who's got that kinda time? Even with time travel?

Melody slumped down in a chair beside her friend. "Not great. Just trying to keep my family together while people try to tear it apart." She sighed. "Though I wasn't expecting Father to give us trouble, especially considering he younger than I am right now." ------------ "Per-what-a?," asked Anna. "Though I think I get the gist of it."

"I would have liked to think he could have been saved like me, Melody and Skye were, but I don't think that could have happened," said Anna.

Skye gave a little laugh, and returned the kiss on the tip of Tikal's nose. -------------- Melody looked around at what Locke said. "But... this is supposed to be a holiday. Surely nothing bad is gonna happen now?" -------------- "I'm alright. A little shaken but.... I can understand why Miles did what he did. I wish he hadn't... and that he hadn't fought all of you." -------------- "Maybe tomorrow will be normal," said Ziona, but she didn't sound too hopeful. "But I suppose, when you gather a group like us together..."

"You always do. Thank you," said Skye, managing to smile. ------------- Melody breathed a sign of relief and headed back to the main room. -------------- Anna gave a small smile. "That's good. Is there anything I can do for you?" she offered. -------------- "At least until we know he's not going to try something like this again. These's kids are unstable enough without the threat of him looming over.."

"But I should have said he was out there. I should have warned all of you. I never thought he'd try anything," said Anna. ------------- "Actually...." Melody was about to voice some of her thought about Miles, be decided to keep them quiet for now. "Actually, even if you don't want to talk now, at least let her know right now that you're still friends. Just say you need time before you talk properly."

Metal harbor and seaside hill seem a little cheap then. Hey, Seaside hill already has a heap of attractions in place!

"You'll protect me from myself," said Skye quietly -------------- "You do know her. The only thing you didn't know was that she had a slight 'bad-boy' crush on someone. Maybe she was just a bit lonely. And now she's convinced you hate her over it. So I'd do what I could to prove otherwise if I were you!" ------------- "Rouge, can you hear me?" asked Anna. "I'm so so sorry about what happened. It's all my fault." ------------ "When I submit the paperwork for Min... Anna's relocation, I'll add a note to let us know when Miles is released. And request he's placed under desecrate supervision."

I dunno. I question some of the placements of the zones. Splash Hill the 2nd most expensive? Really?

"I know. That's why I need you, angel," said Skye, holding tightly onto Tikal. ----------- "Look Crowley, I'm gonna be blunt. I know you're probably shock by what Red said, but you don't hate her for it, do you?" ----------- "Th... Thank's Shadow," said Anna as she walked down slowly. "Is Rouge awake?" she asked sitting on the bed next to her. ----------- "If the story is over..."

"I didn't Tikal. Dad stopped me. If he hadn't been there..." Skye was shaking. ------------ Melody started looking for Crowley. Not seeing him in the main room, she entered his bedroom. ----------- "It's... It's Anna," she said, in a quiet voice that was almost inaudible on the other side of the door. "Can I... Can I come in?" ----------- "Not your fault," said Ziona. ----------- Miles knew he was taking the biggest risk he'd ever made here. But if it worked, if he and Mina were happy together again, it would be worth it. He'd just needed to plan a way to deal with Hope once they were done.

"I didn't prove myself. I failed. I didn't stop myself. I couldn't..." Skye said through his tears. ------------ Melody stayed next to Red. Anna got up, walked over to Shadow's door, and knocked. ----------- Ziona stood for a moment regarding the area sadly, then followed Glen. ---------- Miles nodded. "I'll get on it." He stood up and left, leaving his completely untouched food behind.

Miles smirked. "I overheard the guards mention that the warden has his own Zone transport in his officer. From there, I can also wipe out the computer records to help cover our escape, and cause whatever other trouble we need as a distraction. What we need, is some method of getting the warden out of the way. With my abilities dampened I can't move against him directly, but I should be able to procure a few items that you could find useful for that task."

"I've captured Shadow once before. It should be possible to do so again."

"I failed. I need your help," Skye whispered to Tikal. ----------------- "I'm sure Crowley doesn't hate you Mom," said Anna. "I think he was just shocked by what you said." "We all were," said Melody, as she joined the other two. Anna looked at Melody, then glanced at the room to Shadow's door with a guilty look on her face. ---------------- "It's done now," sighed Ziona. --------------- "I sounds like acquiring a copy their personnel files from GUN needs to be in order. Or we set up a physical test for them with them realising."
