The Celestial Spirit World is blue. Which was probably the most the best way to describe it in Melody's opinion. She liked the fact that it was blue because it made her think of the ocean in Earth Land, or what she thought it would look like.

With sonder thoughts, she sings softly to herself. She touches the tattoo that matches her mother's on her collarbone. As her song came to an end, Lyra peaks out from behind her and squeals.

"OHH!! Melody! That was so beautiful!" she wraps her arm around the siren and bounces. "We should totally perform a duet for all the spirits!!"

Aquarius slings her urn at Lyra, bonking her on the head.

"Don't fawn over my daughter!!" She screamed.

"Owie..." Lyra pouts. "You're so mean Aquarius..."

Aquarius sticks out her lower lip and gives a scowl, frightening Lyra enough to make her fly away on her tiny wings.

"Mom..." Melody sighed, not sure whether or not she was embarrassed or frightened.

Aquarius wraps her arms around her daughter, hugging her head as she rocked her against her will. "My precious child!! Every woman is your enemy! You must CRUSH your enemy!! Make them suffer!! Until they crumble before you!!"

"I...I'm sorry..."

"What?!? Don't apologize!" Aquarius vigorously shakes her daughter. "BE STRONG MELODY! ME STRONG!!"

Loke sighs as he watches the events unfold. "Aquarius'll kill her daughter if this keeps up."

Virgo, who stood beside him, nods. "She big brother, it seems that she may be tortured beyond most measures...I envy her..."

"I just think Aquarius has been in the celestial spirit world too long." Loke said softly.

"Yes, she doesn't show it, but I think she misses Princess." Virgo nodded. "I do too, she hardly calls for us anymore."

"Yeah, she's got too many kids..." Loke sighs.

"And she finally settled down with Natsu." Virgo added.

"Yeah..." Loke groans. "Shame, missed out there."

"Are you talking about Lucy Heartfilia?" Melody said, turning to Loke and Virgo.

"Oh, yeah...you don't have a key..." Loke said. "You've never met her, have you."

Melody turns to her mother, who is now fawning over her father, Scorpio. "Well, no...mom talks about her sometimes, but not often. Mostly she complains about her."

"Oh, I'm sure Aquarius loves Miss Lucy just as much as the rest of us!" Aries said shyly. "We all do, because Miss Lucy loves celestial spirits more than anything."

"Puun..." Plue said, waving his arms.

Melody kneels down to Plue, and looks around at all of the celestial spirits.

"I wish I could meet her..." Melody said longingly.

"Hey, Earthland isn't as great as everyone says."

Melody turns and smiles to her friend. "Oh, Venus you're back!"



It was chilly on the couch, Melody didn't have a blanket and her only source of heat was Malcon and Lugi. Seeing they were two cats of small size, they didn't do much good.

She pushes herself up and peaks into Liddan's room. He was asleep on his bed, his hand draping over his mattress as he slept with minimum life.

She shuts the door, hoping to not awake him, and slips into the kitchen. She opens the fridge and makes a face. She wasn't sure what any of the things here were. It was almost frightening.
