A/N Ok guys! I'm about to mess with some romance, so please don't hate me if I accidentally do some weird things. I won't do anything stupid, like make Ales and Malachi date, but still have Zane and Sam date, because THAT WOULD BE WEIRD!!!

But any OCs that I have made can date without it being weird. I WAS PLANNING ON DOING THIS STUFF ORIGINALLY BUT APHMAU AND THE LADY-IRENE'S-DIMESION-THING COMPLETLY THREW ME OFF, ALRIGHT?!

Thank you for understanding.

Melanie's POV

I walked up the stairs and brought the girls to their beds for the night, and possibly the rest of their lives. As they got settled in, I said hi to Katelyn, tried to have a conversation with Aaron, and once that failed, I started walking to Laurence with a skip in my step.

Then I remembered... He didn't remember me.

You could make him remember you. You could wave a hand and force his memories to get it right.

No. That's wrong.

Oh please. It's not like you love Jack. Be honest with yourself. You've known Laurence longer. He's been there forever. Just, wave a hand.

And at what cost? I'll be using my magicks for my own personal enjoyment. I only use them for emergencies, remember? And why are you all of a sudden all up in my love life?

Better Laurence then Jack. What about Garroth?

... Garroth counts.

Whatever you say. But, I will say I told you so when you become depressed from not having anyone around to help you.

Can you SHUT UP!

I stopped in front of Laurence, only paces away from where he was laying in bed. He looked adorable, his light brown hair was ruffled and messy, whilst his blue eyes were closed. He was hugging a pillow, too. I remembered when he told me why he hugged a pillow, back when we helped Aphmau and met Lucinda.

<<<MEMORY>>>

"Laurence, why do you always hug a pillow when you sleep?" I ask, waking him up. He looked up and smirked.

"Obviously, because I like to pretend it's you, and hold it in my sleep, so I know that you will always be in my arms for me to protect you." He says, sitting up. I blush wildly.

"Do you really?" I ask. He nods.

"Of course! But of course, I would never kiss a pillow." He says, leaning into me.

<<<MEMORY OVER>>>

Man, you sicken me.

You just said--

That sent mean you can just pull me into your mushy-lovey memories of you and Laurence.

Just go.

I find myself sitting at the foot of Laurence's bed. He was still holding onto the pillow with his dear life. I quickly started to hold back tears, and stood up.

"Well, that's never coming back is it?" I mumbled to myself as I walked to Ales. She smirked, glancing at Laurence.

"Is that your ex?" She asked. I nodded.

"He's cute." She teased. I frowned.

"Hey--"

"Don't worry, I won't 'steal' him from you. Promise. I was just pointing it out." She said. I smiled.

"Too bad he'll never remember me." I said, wiping my nose. Ales rubs my shoulder.

"You'll be ok. In the meantime, Sam and I decided to go out and look around this 'Phoenix Drop'. Wanna give us a tour?" She asked. I shook my head no.

"If you don't mind, I need to go see someone." I said, remembering Jadyn. I grabbed a backpack and my diamond sword. Ales shook her head.

"Not at all. We'll be out." She said, waving goodbye as I climbed down the ladder...

... And came face to face with a worried Aphmau.

"Melanie, we have to talk." She said. I nodded.

"First off, don't you have some sort of magicks you can use for Laurence's memories? He's been flirting with me, and I don't appreciate it." Aphmau said.

She's a threat. Kill her.

NO! She was my Lord! I protected her! What are you, insane?

Course I am. I'm you, after all.

ARGH!!!

"Aphmau, you're basically Lady Irene. If you couldn't do it, how could I?" I asked. Aphmau sighed.

"Alright fine. Second off, how have you been? I wanted to check up on you." She said.

I noticed something in her eyes. She was following some sort of orders.

But who would ask her to check up on me?

Oh my Lady Irene... You're so stupid.

Laurence doesn't care about me anymore enough to ask her...

If you don't figure this out soon, I will hurt you, even if I am you.

......... GARROTH!!!

Finally!

"You saw Garroth." I said calmly. Aphmau bit her lip.

"Yes, last night." She admitted. I could see the rosy blush on her cheeks.

They share a connection like me and Laurence did. But, they're not together yet. They must just like each other's but not want to make anything out of it yet.

If only you let me come out and do my thing, I could use the magicks usefully.

Speaking of you coming out, what did you want me to ask Aphmau?

Ask her what Garroth said.

"What did he say?" I asked.

"He wanted me to ask you how you've been. How you're doing. And how your magicks are." She said.

Now what?

Ask if there's any way you could join her next time she sees him.

"Is there anyway I can join you next time you see him? I've only seen him that one time, and that's it." I explained.

"I don't know if there is. I'm sorry." Aphmau said.

Alright. Kill her.

NO!!! WHAT IS IT WITH YOU AND KILLING?!?!

It's the only way to solve anything.

This isn't a sick game where anyone who defies em my brother or the one I love immediately dies, alright!?

*Cough cough* Yandere Simulator *Cough cough*

What?!

"Melanie, are you ok? You're just staring off into the distance." Aphmau said, looking in the direction I was staring at.

"Oh, uh... Nothing! I have to go see a friend, actually. Jadyn is all healed up now, and I want to see her." I said, walking past her and towards the exit.

"But Melanie, what about--"

"BYE!!" I yelled, running to the forest.

<<<<>>>><<<<>>>><<<<>>>>

I got to the hut next to the willow tree, ready to knock on the door, when...

Wait! Damn it, I forgot about Jack!

We should--

Dont say kill him.

Then I guess I won't say anything.

I looked around, and remembered that Jadyn had a window in her room. Quickly, I walked around the hut and found it. I opened it and climbed through.

Stalker much?

Don't make me say shut up again.

I tip-toed through the room, and peeked out the door.

Jack, Amber and Lily were in the kitchen, making something and talking. Lily was giddy, Amber was the one doing all the actual cooking, and Jack seemed more down then usual. He would send a smirk and nod, his arms crossed. 

I knew Jadyn would probably be in my old room, and I had to go there to get stuff anyways. So, I did something tricky and stepped out of the room, got on all fours and sneaked past the kitchen, and walked into my room.

Sure enough, Jadyn was there, laying on her back on the bed.. She had nothing but the purple steak in her hair. Everything else was now black. She stared at the celing, sighing. I noticed she was holding the baby rattle.

"Psst! Jadyn." I whispered. Jadyn sat up and stared at me. A look of joy passed over her face as she stood up and barreled me into a hug.

"Melanie! Where have you been--"

"Sh." I said, bopping my head towards the kitchen. Jadyn nodded, letting me go and starting to whisper.

I quickly explained to her everything that happened while packing all my stuff into my backpack.

"Jack likes you? I kinda shipped it for a while there." Jadyn admitted. I smiled, then realized what she said and frowned.

"Wha-? Jadyn!" I groaned. Jadyn giggled, covering her mouth.

"I'm sorry. Oh! I kept your picture frames watered for you." She said, showing me the flowers on the picture frames. They had bloomed brighter, and color had flooded into them. I took them and placed them carefully in my backpack.

"They're beautiful. Jadyn, I have to go. I promise I'll come visit again, but there are people waiting for me back at Phoenix Drop. I'll see you very soon. I promise." I said, twisting my pinkie with hers. She smiled.

"Ok, Melanie. I'll be waiting." She said. I smiled and kissed her forehead before sneaking out the window.

"I'm glad you didn't die on me." I said, causing her to grin as I hopped out the window.

A/N Yes, I now know what ship to sail. I was going to do something else, but I changed my mind. I will not be telling you guys which one will sail, but it will become clear in a chapter or two.
