Chapter 5

Melody sat down in the front row, extremely careful not to let her stuffed body tear down the dress. She held her breath until her behind were safely on the soft red velvet of the chair, and then let a shallow breath slip through her chocked throat. It was so painful, what a horrible mistake to wear this dress – but this was the only fancy outfit she had. Ursula leaned to her gracefully.

"Are you doing alright?" she asked, her swan like neck arching above Melody from above. Melody felt a horrible gush of blood coming into her face, a nodded quickly.

"Dude," said Victor, leaning backwards on the sofa and looking at Frank. "I think your friend is about to explode."

"Victor, you're filling my aura with negative energy." Complained Veronica, throwing a soy snack at him..

"When I'll fill any part of you, you'd know it babe." Answer Victor, throwing that snack back at her and winking.

Frank just stared at the huge LCD TV and crossed his fingers that Melody will be alright.

"Ladies and gentleman!" announced a mysterious voice in the theatre. "I have the greatest pleasure of introducing Ursula Black, which will give you a special performance before that beginning of our play!"

Melody smiled nervously when she heard the surprised voices of screaming and applause all over the theater. Ursula stepped into the stage gracefully, her movements are very self aware and her blue eyes looking at Melody, almost smiling. She picked the microphone, looking at the crowed.

"This one is for Melody Adams," she said with her silky voice. She took a deep breath and –

"Don't forget your way in Life – " she began, and Melody was shaking.

It was her favorite song of all times! It was telling a story of a girl who had pass great difficulty and loneliness in her life, but never, not even for once, agreed to let herself or what she believed in away from her to please other people. In hard days, in sad events and in lonely night, Melody would listen to it and feel the hope filling her heart again.

"You that this song was actually written by Ursula?" Alex asked Frank, who seemed completely shocked that the great Alex himself spoke to him. He nodded too quickly.

"Yes!" he said a bit excited. "It was written by her when the two of you were kids, Right? And the two of you had a duet of it in the great opera house in Russia!"

Alex seemed to be a bit astonished by all of this knowledge. "Ah. Yes, that's right. That's… impressive."

"Dude, you need to find a new hobby." Pointed out Victor, staring at him.

"Shut up, Victor." Said Alex peacefully.

"And the moon will shine again,

Please remember my dear…

I'm here."

The screams of the surprised fans filled Melody's ears, as the tears filled her eyes. She was so touched, so excited. Ursula looked at her softly, and got off the stage slowly.
