Skye Prower

"Uh, this is actually getting very uncomfortable now."

"Uh, I actually think that might have helped a bit."

(ooc: I think Skye would flee in terror and Melody would try something very foolish. And to settle their argument: Nack (several times), Scourge (once), Naugus (came close), Iron King (didn't even come close)

Ziona gave a smile to Dylan bordering on a smirk. "I just seem to have that effect on many people." (ooc: I hope not for once. It would be nice to give the kids just one day with nothing bad rearing it's head.)

"I hope so to. I... really like it here." (ooc: Heh, glad you like it. Makes a change from angst!)

"That would be lovely," Melody said wistfully. "Well, maybe not a giant one, it'd be hard to run with one that big. But... a... smaller... onezzzzzzzz...." Melody's sentence drifted off as she almost instant fell asleep and began falling to the floor. -------------------------- "That depends if I get recalled for this assignment or not after this."

Melody burst into giggles. "I think he's a little big for that. Though if I ever mastered a shrinking spell..." -------------------------- "I know but, even with all the good that could come out of it, our bosses are still gonna want to find someone responsible for this."

"Well it's not like Skye would have said anything anyway. He never knows when he stammering. I just didn't tell him because I think it sounds cute." ---------------------- "Thank you Glen. And if it does come to that Shadow, I hope they don't do anything to you. You didn't need to get involved after all."

"What does being a boy have to do with it?" ------------------------- "I'm not worried about him getting better. He always pulls through. It's wants gonna happen next."

Melody watched Locke take Skye out then turned towards Red. "I'm surprised neither you or Dad asked about his stammer." ------------------------------ "Thank you Glen."

"Y-yeah. I t-think the t-time thingy j-just h-h-hid how t-tired... I-I w-was un.... until.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" Skye's head dropped again as he slipped off to sleep. "Huh. I suppose I'll probably crash in soon enough then." ------------------------ "Another time Glen. I've.... things on my mind."

I'll have some cake before Robotnik scoffs it all!

"I guess, but it just seems so sudden. I suppose I did miss a lot though." "T-that w-wasn't your fault," replied Skye, whose head suddenly lolled then snapped back upright. "Huh, w-wow. I think a-all t-that feeling of tiredness h-has come b-back with a v-vengeance." ---------------------- "I was thinking the same thing myself. Not my best night!"

"Its just a little weird seeing him so... docile like this." "W-weird?" "Sorry, bad choice of words." ---------------------------- "Well. This place is definitely getting a recommendation," said Ziona as she put her fork down on her empty plate. (occ: sorry everyone, didn't realise I missed out a restaurant line a few posts back.)

"Sorry Dad. I was just joking around." "I-it's okay. I l-like me b-better n-now t-to."

"No probs Dad." Melody then turned and gave Skye a playful push. " 'That's what families are for'? When did the terrible Skye, who made whole Zones tremble at his approach, become such a soppy little thing?"

Melody giggled. "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone." "T-that's what f-families are for."

"I seem to be using candy a lot as currency," murmured Melody, giggling. "S-see, you're h-happy now," Skye smiled back at Red.

"Heh heh, that works as well." "No p-problem Mom. I j-just want us a-all to be h-happy." --------------------------- "I think my portions quite big enough, but thank you Glen."

Aww, cheers Locke.

"Mom, if t-there is a-anything I c-can ever d-do to h-help you, I-I will." "Doctor's... Is that a joke?" ---------------------------- "Good plan Dylan. I hope the cheesecake tastes as good as it looks."

"Huh? I-I d-don't u-understand." "Yay! That's great!" ------------------------ "I'll hold off the gambling for now."

"B-but... B-but why did y-you get s-so upset?" "That's good. And even if it does, at least its not work." ----------------- "You're not a gambling man then Dylan?"

"P-please Mom, d-don't hide a-anything." "Urgent? That sounds a bit unexpected." -------------------- "I'd lay odds on you two not finishing that even working together, but I'm not trusting my gambling luck tonight."

"Then maybe we'll meet her sooner rather than... Mom?" Melody turned and saw Red looking upset. "M-mom? What is i-it?" ----------------------- "Yes, enough fighting for now. Where's that dessert got to?"
