Truth

Melody is getting ready for the party in her room.

Melody's thoughts: What was it that I saw today? I'm sure I wasn't day dreaming..... What is happening to me? If only I could tell this to someone who would believe me......

Knock knock......
Melody opens the door to see Stella. She lets her come in and closes the door behind. Stella sits on Melody's bed with Melody beside her.

Stella: You look stunning!

Melody: Thanks... You too. *Not too happy*

Stella: I'm so happy that you and others are getting so much recognition as fashion designers!

Melody: Yeah.

Stella: What's wrong Melody? You don't look very happy...Is there something troubling you?

Melody: *SIGH* Stella.....

Melody's thoughts: Should I tell her? ...... It will haunt me anyway so why not share it? Here goes nothing...

Melody: Stella.... Today when I went to the store room... I.. I saw a woman there. She said weird things like I have to save the world...and she even called some kind of goddess!!! Then she just practically.. VANISHED!! She literally disappeared! I don't know what's going on.....

Stella's  thoughts: IS SHE CRAZY?! This has to be one of her silly day dreams. I wonder.... But she seems serious.... and she usually doesn't make a fuss out of her imaginations...

Stella: Melody,..... I think you are getting too much worried. It's fine. If the woman reappears... tell me. Right now, lets enjoy the party. Don't worry. Okay? 

Melody: I guess you are right. Worrying won't get me any where .

Stella: That's right. Now I should go...

Melody: Okay. I'll get down stairs in a minute.

Stella: Okay.

Stella leaves and after a little while Melody goes down stairs for the party.

At the party;

Melody:

Stella:

Arashi:

Lina:

Su:

Mie:

A woman: The girls are looking so beautiful! They are so talented. I love their designs....

Another person: Indeed they are....I really want to sign them for my company's coming fashion show.

Another one: That's a brilliant idea! Their designs are very popular!

..............

Mie: So Melody, how am I looking tonight? I'm wearing one of your designed dresses!

Melody: Oh you look wonderful! (smiling)

Mie: I knew you'd love it!

Melody: Stella, Are you sure the new episode for Naruto will be next week and not today?

Stella: Yes.

Arashi : Seriously? Can't you talk about anything other than Naruto?

Stella : No, She can't and you girls know it. We both love to watch Naruto and talking about it makes us feel super happy. ( laughing)

Lina : Come on you two, stop this conversation right now. (Angrily)

Su: I agree . Stop it now.

Melody and sella both say at the same time "OK!" In a down voice and every one starts laughing.

Later on, Stella and Mie go to dance with their boyfriends.Lina , Arashi and Su also find someone to dance with.Melody was still thinking about what happened in the morning and so she  just stood there, sometimes talking to random people.

The girls danced for a long time but then suddenly there was a large BOOM! Every one was surprised and frightened and then the main door of the hall was broken by a giant black panther.

 Every one in the hall were frightened and they ran away from the center to the sides of the hall, not daring to move. Melody was so frightened that she wasn't able to move even when she knew that she was in front of the monster. Her eyes met the monster's green ones and the monster started running towards her intending to pound on her and kill her. It was almost there when a woman jumped in front of melody. She made a magical ball in her hand and hit the monster with it. The monster went flying out of the door and then vanished. the woman turned to see melody who was still frightened and surprised. 


The girls and Melody's mother run towards her.

Melody's mom: Are you ok? Oh you aren't hurt,are you? Thank you, thank you mam. You saved my daughters life!

Old woman's: It was my duty. * politely.*

Melody:You are the woman from this morning! W...who ....... are ..you?....

 woman : I believe we need to talk... but first,...

The woman clicks her finger. The broken door repairs along with any other damage caused by the monster and all the people lose the memory of the panther attack. They begin acting normally as if nothing had happened. 

Stella: How did this happen?...

Woman: I do not have much time. I need to talk to you, lady Melody...

Melody's mom: We can't leave the guests unattended.... Girls, you go with Melody somewhere else...... I am only trusting you because you saved Melody's life but Stella, please take care of your sister, do not let her out of your sight....

Stella: Yes mom....

Arashi: But how can we trust this woman?! She has these weird powers!

Melody: No... I want to know what's happening here!

Stella: Calm down Melody. Lets go to the guest room. No one will interrupt us there.

With out another word they go to the gust room and Su closes the door behind.

Melody: Now tell me what's going on! Why did that THING attacked me?!

Woman: Lady Melody, It is a great honor to meet you. I'm Kim, the guardian who served the six goddesses of Shizen....

Melody: What does all this have to do with me?

Kim: The six goddesses died seven thousand years ago when they used their powers to seal away an evil demon known as Makai...

Mie: So you're like... how much old?

Arashi: Mie!

Kim: The six goddesses knew that one day, this seal will be broken. When the seal does break, not only Makai but the powers of the goddesses will also be released and find the reincarnations of the goddesses that shall inherit these powers so that they can seal Makai once more.

Melody: And what is my role in all of this...?

Melody's thoughts: I afraid that I might actually know the answer....

Kim: Out of the six goddesses, the strongest one is the goddess of flames..... and YOU ARE HER REINCARNATION.....

Everyone gasps in disbelief. Melody was too shocked to say anything.

Stella: What are you saying?! This is impossible!

Su: And didn't you say that the past goddesses died because of sealing that thing?!

Kim: They did... but Lady Melody might not die, IF she takes right choices.....

Arashi: MIGHT?! Are you kidding? 

Lina: This is unbelievable! 

Mie: Ridiculous, I'd say!

Melody: Stop it!..... What about the other five goddesses? Who are they?

Kim: Unfortunately I don't know. But they are destined to be around you somewhere. All you have to do is find them.....

Stella: So she might know them?

Kim: Yes.

Kim summons a book.

Kim: This is the book of Shizen. Only I and the six goddesses can open it. It has all the details about the powers of the goddesses and information about Makai... He would do anything to get his hands on this book.... I entrust it to you....

Melody: Wait!.... I never said I'll do it! I can't.... This is not for me.... I am not the right person....I can't be...!

Kim: One can never run from their destiny... I wanted to give you time but unfortunately , Makai knows about you and he wants to kill you before you can gain power... the seal will be incomplete with out you and Makai will rule over your world and mine too....

Melody: Your world?

Kim: Yes, I come from a different dimension. Makai belongs to that dimension too and you'll have to come to that dimension in order to stop him....

Melody: This is impossible....

She sits on the bed with shock.

Kim: I know this is too sudden and as much as I know your world, it is completely unbelievable.... but I request that you think about this.... This book shall tell you how you can find the other goddesses. It also has the jutsu that'll open the gate to my dimension as well as a map. A summoning creature will further guide you once you are there.....

Stella's thoughts: Did she just say jutsu?

Melody:  What...if I say no...?

Kim: Everything will be over.....The six goddesses are in this world so anyone can open the portal but if all six of them are in  my world, no one will be able to open it except them. If even one of the goddesses dies, Makai will be able to open it again. 

Melody: So as long as all six of us are alive and in that world, this world will be safe?

Kim: Yes.

Melody: You make it sound so simple.... I don't even have a choice in this!

Kim: Forgive me.... I must leave now.... I shall protect you as long as you are in this world but in the end, I have little time on my hands.... please be prepared when you go....

Melody:......

The woman begins to glow and fade away slowly. 

She whispers :   Listen to your heart....

Melody stares at her in shock as she disappears.

Everyone was surprised.

Melody begins to cry and Stella puts a hand on her shoulder.

Stella: Melody, it's okay. She is gone, forget about it.

Melody: How can I forget Stella?! Do you even know how many people can die because of me?! 

Mie: Melody, what she said can never be true! It's like one of those silly fan fictions or something!

Melody: And that panther? That magic? This book?!!!

Su: Melody, there has to be a more logical explanation to this. We will investigate this.

Arashi: And even if it IS true, you have to calm down and think about it.

Lina: Stressing yourself won't help. It might be some sort of a prank....

Melody: I....I need to be alone for a little while...

Melody gets up, grabs the book and dashes to her room. Su tries to stop her but lina holds her hand. Just after a few minutes, Melody's mom comes in and Stella explains everything to her.

Mom: My goodness ......I can't believe this.... We have to talk to her..... But let her be alone for now. Girls, your parents are waiting for you, you should go. You can stay if you like. Stella, call dad and tell him and your brother to come home ASAP! I'll make sure that all the guests are attended. The party's over anyways....And none of you will tell her to consider this rubbish! This is absolutely not real!

Stella: Okay mom....

She leaves.

Mie: Wow, your mom's calm AND mad.

Su: At least she's not panicking....

Stella: Yeah. She doesn't want us to be worried. She's always calm and ready with a plan. I'm sure everything will be fine......

.............

Melody slams the door of her room shut and falls on the bed, tears running down her cheeks.

Melody: What's going on? Why am I so scared? Why am I crying? 

She grabs the photo frame on her bedside.

Melody: What should I do?..... What would you do...Naruto?

Melody's thoughts: Mie is right... It is like a fan fiction....A normal girl has magical powers and then she goes to Naruto world and saves everyone. She falls in love with Naruto and they live happily ever after.... But that girl is not me! That world is not Naruto's, I will never have a happily ever after with him or anyone! This is just a nightmare...... One wrong step and it's all over. WHY ME?! There are so many girls out there who'd love to be goddesses! I never wanted this....I just want an answer.... What should I do? ..... I'm just so scared...

After crying for a while, she drifts off to sleep.
