Skye Prower

"Yep. There's a TV in the kitchen you can watch," said Skye. "But a lot of what you see isn't real," said Stacey. "It's like theater, people acting. Though, news and sports are real... and some game shows..." ----------------- "Thank you Sarah... and, uh... that applies the the curtsy too," said Zoe. "This is actually kinda scary!" she whispered to Dominic.

"Hmmmm, I guess it does in a way," admitted Skye. -------------- "Please try... it... doesn't feel comfortable for us," said Zoe. ----------------- "I hope we're not putting them in danger!" said Miles. "What did I just say....?" -------------- "What did you think I was gonna say?" asked Melody

"It's not magic, it's technology," said Skye. ---------------- "See!" whispered Zoe. --------------- "Yes, straight outside!" ----------- "It was... uh... just one of the earlier transformations Skye and I did when we were younger..."

"Yes but one everybody can watch inside a little box," said Stacey. -------------- "I KNOW!" said Zoe, forceful and whispered at the same time. "And she keeps calling me 'my lady' It's really odd! I told her to stop it"

"Oh, I'll show you when you eat lunch," smiled Skye. "It's... like telling a story... but you can see what happens," said Stacey. ----------- "She's, uh... getting all meek and shy... and is kinda distraught about that," whispered Zoe. ----------- Miles gulped. "We'll find out!" ------------- "They got changed too slightly... Ever since this one time... uh, nevermind.." smiled Melody. -----------

"No. There's almost more or new things to try in any hobbie," said Skye. "And there's always TV..." ------------ "Sorry I took so long Dominic," said Zoe with a smile. "Let's get lunch!"

"She won't be that long, will she?" asked Miles. ------------ "Hmm, I think I won't have my speed right now though. Don't think this form is suited for it," said Melody. ------------ "Sometimes they do," said Skye. "But they need to find new hobbies to keep them interested!" ------------- Zoe smiled. "C'mon, let's go," she said, walking out the library

"Er... enjoy doing what they want in their free time. And we still need to work, just it's easier," said Skye. -------------- "Let's, uh, just get to the kitchen first," said Zoe. -------------- "I know," gulped Miles. "At least I could create some light!" ------------ "Thank's Hope," said Melody holding still and putting the jacket on. "This all feels a little strange, but I'll get used to it!"

"Hmmm, pretty much right now, but you'll soon manage to catch up. Most machines simply are there to to the job of a person or animal," said Skye. ----------- "Good. Now let's get to the kitchen." Seeing how upset Sarah was, Zoe somehow softened slightly. "I'll make the lunch."

"With a lot of time.... and technology," said Skye. -------------- "It's, uh, not a problem. But please don't call me 'my lady'. It's Zoe. --------------- Miles started to calm a bit. "At least it's daytime, and not night!" ------------- "If that's okay Hope, thanks," said Melody as she stood up, with a slight wobble. "Wow, having no tail is weird. Well, what do you think?" she asked, feeling the bare skin on her arms.

"N-n-no," stammered Miles. "But it's slow, so we can get away... right?" -------------- Melody kept incanting for a minute, the circles glowing. The the glow around Melody became blinding and when it faded, she was human, looking very close to the illusion she'd previously used, but with some minor difference. She blinked, then shivered. "Brrr, I'm cold. No wonder you humans wear so many clothes!" --------------- "It's the size of a large town. And only about a dozen people live here," said Skye. ---------------- "I'm sorry," said Zoe, hugging Sarah.

"Yeah, so do I, even though it's Skye's home, not mine," said Stacey. "Don't worry, we've plenty of spare rooms!" said Skye. "Seriously, this place is mostly empty!" ------------ "I'm sorry Sarah, but for now, that's your only option," said Zoe walking next to Sarah.

"No problem," said Stacey as they walked through Haven. ------------------- "Er, learn to live with it?" said Zoe

Miles gulped and started to run. ------------ "Thanks!" said Melody, dropping the illusion covering her, and starting to chant under her breath.

"Okay, this way," said Stacey leading the way while Skye followed. -------------- "I'm sorry, I'm not able to do that," said Zoe. 'And it will be a good lesson for you!' she thought to herself.

"Right. Remember your way to the kitchen?" asked Stacey. -------------- "Tough. You're gonna be stuck like this for a few days at least!" lied Zoe. -------------- "Okay, let's go carefully," said Miles heading down the stairs. ------------ "Fair point.... okay...." Melody took a small piece of chalk from her pocket and drew a large circle, with a line heading to a smaller one. "Could you stand there," Melody asked, pointing at the smaller circle while she knelt in the larger one. "It will make it easier."

"Right, let's go!" I'm starving!" said Stacey. ---------------- "You will be... in time," said Zoe.

"You'll mange," said Stacey. "Now let's get something to eat!" "Careful, I'm not sure if your friend is hungry," said Skye. ----------------- "But the bride isn't in this world... and even if she was, would she recognize you?" asked Zoe. ---------------- "Wouldn't stairs be safer. Less chance of being trapped in a small box!" --------------- "The tucking it in thing?"

"Then let's head out!" said Miles. ------------- "It'll be a bit uncomfortable," said Melody. "I could transform.... or find a long coat to wear!" --------------- Skye thought. "The worst ones are definitely over, but there may be smaller ones..." ------------- "But you're not royalty here either!" said Zoe a little spitefully

"Nice to meet you to. Sorry about all the shocks," said Skye. "I think the worst ones are over now," said Stacey. ---------------- "Stop you? How?" asked Zoe. "I... don't think we can."

"Well, here's the proof," smiled Skye. ---------------- "Uh, can you stop the my lady thing... I've never liked it," said Zoe. "As for what you're doing.... well..." her eyes darted towards the pool.

"Yep, that's me.... I think it was mentioned at one point that I was a fox...." ---------------- Zoe was a little thrown by the use of 'my lady' again. "Uh.. anything really, just not too many vegetables..." ---------------- "All we need to do is run... Would we be safer outdoors?" wondered Miles. --------------- "Hmm, any ideas?"

"Hi, I'm Skye," he said sticking out his had. "We.... sorta met, but not exactly!" ----------------- "Does it matter?" asked Zoe, a little creully.

"True... any sign of the spook?" asked Miles looking around, starting to shiver. ---------- "Yeah... that would have been a pretty bad mess up. I better make sure no one bangs into me or my tail!" ----------- "Okay, shall we get something to eat?" offered Skye. ------------- Zoe smiled and winked at Dylan again. "Sarah, would you mind making me and Dylan some lunch?"

"No problem Mark. Are you able to stand?" asked Stacey. --------------- "My Lady? I thought we'd left that behind," said Zoe. She turned to Dylan. "I'd almost say that's proof right there!" -------------- "She did seem like a nice girl." Miles shuffled his feet. "I should say sorry to her for cracking her in the jaw..." ------------- "Yeah!" Melody almost sprinted out the window, then caught herself.
