"Magenta, hmm?" She smiled. "I love nicknames. And I guess your nicknames go with something you love to do or what you look like. Yours is Melody and you love to sing, so that makes sense. And Magenta, you said, had 'magenta colored lips,' so that explains that." She took a breath and pushed some flyaway hairs from her face. "And I like to play the card game Solitaire, so my name is Solitaire. Makes sense." ((wow. all of a sudden she's a blabbermouth  ) |

Melody sat there, wide eyed and grinning at this experience. First she was all quiet and smiling, then she was breathing heavier and blabbing her mouth away. Smiling some more, he nodded his head. "Yeah. I love to sing. Well...you already knew that."

"You're a wonderful singer," she replied. "Maybe someday you could be a performer." She thought for a moment. "Can I get the first autograph when you're a star?" she asked, then added, "After your sister, of course."
((be back later, dinner.))

Melody blushed deeply and nodded. "Sure..I don't really like singing in front of people though. It's embarrasing." Looking up at her, his eyes questioned what he should do.

"Would you like to practice?" she asked kindly. "I won't laugh, I promise." She turned her body so she was facing him a bit more and folded her hands neatly in her lap. "Only if you want, of couse," she added as afterthought.

His eyes widened even more, if that was possible. Nodding his head, he thought of a song to sing. Grinning, he blushed a bit and took a gulp. Then, he started to sing.
Called her for the first time yesterday
Finally found the missing part of me
Felt so close but you were far away
Left me without anything to say
Now I'm speechless, over the edge, I'm just breathless
I never thought that I'd catch this love bug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the moment
I never thought that I'd get hit by this love bug again
I can't get your smile out of my mind
I think about your eyes all the time
You're beautiful but you don't even try
(You don't even, don't even try)
Modesty is just so hard to find
Now I'm speechless, over the edge, I'm just breathless
I never thought that I'd catch this love bug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the moment
I never thought that I'd get hit by this love bug again
Kissed her for the first time yesterday
Everything I wished that it would be
Suddenly I forgot how to speak
Hopeless, breathless, baby can't you see?
Now I'm...
YEAH, OHHH
Now I'm speechless, over the edge of this, breathless
I never thought that I'd catch this love bug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the moment
I never thought that I'd get hit by this love bug again
[ohhhhh]
Love Bug again
[woo!]

She listened to the boy's voice and her smile grew wider. This boy had a gift, a lovely one at that. When he finished singing, she clapped quietly but enthusiastically.
"Very nice, Melody!" she said. "See, you did incredible. I wouldn't be surprised if you could sing with the professionals when you're older."

As he continued, he saw her smile grow, as did his. He put more rythm into the sound and started clapping his knee and tapping his foot. Smiling widely as he finished, he blushed. "Thanks. If...if you don't mind me to ask...what's your real name?"

"You're welcome." When he asked her what her real name was, she hesitated for the first time during this conversation. She didn't know why, but for some strange reason she got nervous telling people her real name. She argued with herself in her head and turned to the boy again. He was nothing but a boy -- what could he do?
"My real name is Laura Calloway." She smiled nervously. "What's your real name?"

Melody smiled sweetly at her, his blue eyes sparkling with delight. "My full name is Kyle Erik Wilcox. I like your name." Blushing a bit, he took in a breath.

"Thank you," she said. "I like your name too." He had a mouthful of name -- Kyle Erik Wilcox. Hers was so plain -- Laura Ann Calloway. She sighed and looked out at the park, which was emptying because of the time. The sun was sinking somewhat below the trees, casting golden light everywhere. She had to start heading back, because she wanted to get back before nightfall.

Melody smiled. "Thanks." Glancing up at the sky, he grimaced. It was getting late, and he didn't want Magenta to get mad at him for being out to late.

She noticed his grimace and copied it. It was getting late, definitely. She sighed and began gathering her things. "I don't mean to say goodbye so soon, but I really have to get back. Can you get back to where you live alright?" She looked concerned for the boy, wondering if he could get back to where he lived without getting hurt or anything.

Nodding his head, he stood up and put the picture in his pocket. "Yeah, I'll be fine."

She smiled softly at him. "It was wonderful meeting you, Melody." She placed her hand gently on his shoulder. "Keep singing." She picked up her folded blanket, her cards, and her paintings.
