Posted 16 Mar 2014 "Father's... gone Melody. I'll explain more once your a bit better," said Skye, causing the younger Melody to huff a bit. "So you can make me a body just like my old... current one?" asked the older Melody. "Uh... No. I can try. But I can't guarantee how close it will be. I can guide the clone, not actually dictate how it will be." Skye looked away slightly uncertain. "I can't even guarantee it will even have your speed." "What...?" ------------- "It's a start Zamy. And it is helpful to have... friendly advice," said Miles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Mar 2014 "Thanks. Glad I'm able to help. Speaking of which, I need to sort out where you'll be staying until you're able to head into the program." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Mar 2014 "Oh, yes. The program," said Miles. "I do wish it was you who was adopting me," blurted out Miles before he could stop himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Mar 2014 "It's still a start though. Perhaps you should let him make the body first, and if it doesn't have the speed you wanted, maybe we could try and find a way to get it for you" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 16 Mar 2014 "Um... That might not be a good idea at all. The ritual that gave Mother speed is kinda how we got into this mess in the first place, given all the side effects it had," said Skye. "I don't want a normal body. I want one that's special," said the older Melody. "I... might have a solution," said the younger Melody quietly. ------------- "I.. uh... well..." spluttered Miles.

Posted 16 Mar 2014 "And what do you think that is Dylan?" asked the younger Melody tensely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Mar 2014 "Instead of her getting the new body, you get the new body. That way, she would still get the speed. Am I right?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 16 Mar 2014 "Almost, there was one more thing to it," admitted Melody. "That's not a good idea Melody," said Skye. "Why? She's the original. She deserves it. I'm just sorry my body's not in best condition right now. But it will heal," said the younger Melody. "Uh, well, by the time the clone is ready you might have time to fully heal. But, what was the 'one more thing'?" asked Skye. "I'd, uh... need to talk to Mom and Dad about that..." -------- "Uh...." Miles was a little unsure how to react. "But... after the board... there's no chance, is there...?" he asked slowly, not sure how Zamy actually felt about the idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Mar 2014 "Melody, I'm not in control of you, and what your doing is very generous but are you really sure you want to go through with this? Because once it's done I don't think there's any way of turning back" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Mar 2014 "What Dylan said I absolutely correct Melody. Are you sure about this? You body is fine after all. At least once it's healed," pointed out Skye. The younger Melody closed her eyes and bowed her head. "I know that, but... I've always felt uncomfortable about being a copy. Everyone tells me I'm my own person, and I do believe them. I was comfortable with who I was but... when... I... came back, I feel I need to distance myself from me. I want to be some more different. More unique." She opened her eye's and looked towards her older self. "You said you wanted to be special. So do I. And if there is two of us, we're far to alike to be special."

Posted 16 Mar 2014 "I'm an active officer, so it certainly wouldn't be easy. Plus I live in a tiny apartment in No Zone. There's nothing to say it's impossible though," said Zamy, trying to reassure Miles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Mar 2014 "What do you thing about this?" Skye asked the older Melody. "As long as she good a good body," said the older Melody. "I don't want to put her into somethings second rate." "That's what I wanted to talk to Mom and Dad about," said the younger Melody. "What exactly are you planning?" asked Skye. ------------- "No, I understand that it can't happen. You don't need to sugercoat it," Miles, disappointed, but in no way surprised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 16 Mar 2014 "I was thinking... to be more unique... rather than clone me, you could make a new body from Mom and Dad's genetics. So I'd really be their child," explained the younger Melody. Skye's mouth dropped open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Mar 2014 Dylan just stared in shock at Melody. He couldn't bring himself to say anything for a moment. Finally he said "If that's really your wish, then I'll help you in any way I can" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
