Wish I Were Quackity - Skephalo

Surprise Visitor

(The only part of the song that feels relevant to the chapter and past to this book lore is 1:58-2:28.)

I open the door, and my eyes widen at the person in front of me. I haven't seen her in years. We have stayed in contact, texting or calling each other every so often these past years, but we haven't actually seen each other since she was 18 and I was 16. Once I see her, I immediately notice the wide smile on her face, bursting with excitement. She has hazel-like eyes that were blue at birth but started to look grey as she got older, which can sometimes have a greenish or blueish color under direct sunlight. She has brown wavy hair that is normally put in a braid and such pale skin, along with a few freckles. It's my half-sister, Melody.

(Here is my character, Melody! I described her how I look like in real life, and her actions/words in this book will similarly, not exactly accurately, be like what I would personally say/do. This is because this character will represent me, the author, as if I were in the story. Also, don't attack me for making myself be Skeppy's half-sister in this story, okay? This is just an au/story. Plus, I like the thought of being related to Skeppy since I really like Skeppy's personality and content in real life. 🤭 Because let's be for real, who here would like to be related to Skeppy? Or even Bad?)

Her smile gets giddily wider while looking at my shocked face. But the shock soon vanishes and is replaced with joy as the impact of what's happening right now truly settles in. I can't help but bring up my own bright smile upon realizing the weight of the thought that I just had- Melody is here- my sister is here! Upon seeing the excitement on my face, Melody can't hold the urge anymore of wrapping her arms around me in an embrace. She exclaims in such a cheerful tone, "Zak!"

My smile gets wider at that, and it feels like tears are threatening to form in my eyes. Oh, how I missed hearing her kind voice, seeing her beauty and excitement in person, and feeling the warmth and love that comes from all her affectionate gestures, like her comforting hugs. I immediately hug her back. She gives me a tight squeeze for a second, as if wanting to take the air out of my lungs, but I know that she does that when she's excited and wants to in some way shower me with her love. I reciprocate the action, giving her a tight squeeze back. She lets out a giggle from that, and I can't help but laugh along with her. I say in disbelief, "Oh my god- you're actually here!"

Melody giggles at that. She then asks, "Did you like the surprise?"

I bury my face in her shoulder and say, "Mhm. Why wouldn't I?"

This is perfect. This is just the kind of uplift I needed after what's been happening these past days. After a moment, we finally break the hug. But we still have smiles on our faces. Melody says, "Well, I'm glad that you're happy to see me. I thought it was about time we reunited in person again after years."

Then a realization occurs to me. I say, "Wait- now that you mention it, how did you manage to get here? I thought you left to college in order to be a doctor."

"Oh, don't worry, I just recently graduated from medical school. I just need to do my residency, and then I'm officially a doctor! And since it just recently became summer, and I basically don't have to study as often as before since I graduated medical school and just need to do some training in my residency, I thought that I should come visit you for a bit for the summer. I managed to find that text for when you told me that you moved out of our hometown and came to this one, as it came along with your address. I then thought that it might be nice to give you a surprise, and here I am!"

"Wow, really!? Congrats, sis! ...Wait- how long are you gonna be staying in town?"

"Mm... probably a few weeks- for as long as I can manage, honestly. It's not like I'm renting someplace or bought a house yet since I have to go back for when my residency starts. But I definitely plan to someday move here so that we can regularly see each other like before!"
