That Heavenly Melody 🎨

*Minoru's P.O.V*
I don't really know how it happened. I just know by some odd, lucky chance, it happened. I was 9 when my mom had took me camping, in the middle of summer break. My sister Mizuki, who was 12 at the time, was of course at her friend's house as usual. I wasn't much of an outdoors person but it felt calming, especially with how loud and chaotic Inkopolis Square was. We were only there for a day or 2 before mom started putting our stuff back in the car to leave. I decided to look around the area while she did that, I still don't know why. Maybe I was bored? After a bit of walking a noticed something, or someone, sitting against a tree. It was a girl, clearly younger than me and out of breath. She didn't look like an Inkling, and I wasn't sure if she was an Octoling either based off the odd ink color. But she did have hair like one.

Minoru:Hello?
???:*looks at Minoru* ..
Minoru:Do you need help?
???: .... *nods* L-Lost..
Minoru:*smiles* Yeah, the woods are easy to get lost in. *holds hand* I'll take you to my mom, maybe we can find your mom or dad!

My mom was a bit speechless seeing her 9 year old son come out of the woods and holding hands with a very odd child. She didn't really comment on it and started asking her questions. We both at this point knew she was an Octoling but we weren't sure if she was a normal one. We had got her name too, Valarie. Since we didn't know exactly where she came from, my mom thought we should take her home until we figured it out. Once we got into the car we decided to listen to some music, since we still had a bit of a drive left until we got home. Calamari Inkantation, that heavenly melody, was playing like it usually did around that time of day. I hummed to it a bit, since I liked listening to it whenever it came on. That could be applied to anyone I knew though, I don't think anyone could hate that song. If they did it was probably because of how much it was played sometimes. But nobody really hated the song itself. To my surprise, Valarie also started humming too.

Minoru:You know this song?
Valarie:A little.. I think I heard it before... it sounds familiar to me.
Minoru:It's definitely one of those songs that get stuck in your head, but in the good kind of way.
Valarie:*nods* It sounds nice.
Minoru:One day I wanna make music too. I like how it makes me feel, so I hope to share that with other people!
Minoru's Mom:*smiles* And I'm sure you'll be great at that.

Mizuki was a bit mad that there was an extra person in the house now, but she soon got used to it after a while. I'm glad I found Valarie that day, I probably wouldn't be making music if she wasn't helping.
