DISCLAIMER; I do not own Osmosis Jones or any characters from the movie, Warner Bros. owns them. What I do own, is my fantabulous OC, Melody Fitzpatrick, her family, best friend Garth and of course the story line.
INFECTIOUS LOVE; PROLOGUE
12-year-old Melody Fitzpatrick hugged her parents for the last time.
Her parents were the only white blood cell hippies she had ever really known, and throughout her whole life her parents would always start protests or communes to try to make the city of Frank a cleaner and better place.
When they finally realized that Mayor Phlemming wasn't going to change the state of the city, her parents had agreed that leaving and joining a commune in a city that might actually change would be best for their daughter. Melody didn't want to leave though; she loved the city of Frank even with its filth; that's what made the city unique.
She had grown up in this city; it meant everything to her, especially her neighbours, the Estrogen family. Ever since Melody was born the Estrogen's had always been there for her. They were a second family to her, and their only daughter, Leah, acted like Melody's older sister. There was a four-year age difference between the two girls but that didn't stop them from being best friends. Leah had been babysitting Melody since she could remember, and as she got older they started hanging out more.
When the Estrogen family suggested that Melody could stay with them instead of leaving Frank, Melody and Leah were ecstatic. With a lot of begging and pleading, from the two girls, Melody's parents finally agreed.
Melody stood at the pier as her parents walked away heading to the boat to lead them out of the body.
This was it, she thought, my family is leaving me, not in a bad way of course, but they're still leaving.
She knew she could go with them, but this city meant to much to her to just leave behind. Her mother turned around and waved at her sadly smiling daughter who waved in return. She smiled slightly; a few tears escaped her eyes as she watched her mother walk on to the boat.
Her father had put his hands into his pockets and felt a small velvet box, suddenly remembering. He smiled and glanced back at Melody before running down the pier towards his baby girl.
"Daddy, what are you doing?"
Melody screamed as she ran towards her father and embraced him in a hug. Her father chucked quietly before kneeling down and kissing her tear-stained cheek,
"Well, Mel, I have two presents for you. One is being given to you from your mother and I because we love you, and the other one is for when you turn 16, but since we won't be here when you're 16, you deserve it now."
He pulled the velvet box out of his pockets and handed it to Melody. Melody looked at the box and opened it slowly revealing a silver locket with the word 'Peace' written on the outside; she opened the locket and saw a picture of her with her parents. Melody smiled again as more tears fell down from her eyes,
"It's beautiful dad, thank you so much. Was this the present for when I turned 16?" Melody asked as her eyes sparkled with eagerness.
"It's so you'll never forget us, if you always wear it, your mother and I will always be a part of you." There was a moment of silence before her father continued on answering his daughter's question. "No,-" her father simply replied before pulling out a small tube "this is the present."
Melody looked at the tube with confusion as she read the label, 'Pepper Spray.'
Why would my dad get me pepper spray?She thought as she looked from the bottle to her father, before she could even ask, her father laughed and ruffled her hair, sensing the confusion on her face.
"I got you pepper spray because when you turn 16 or maybe even earlier you'll realize that boys will be important in life. Considering that I'll never be able to tell the boys to stay away from my baby girl, I expect you to use this gift well."
Melody let out a small sigh as she looked at her dad, "Daddy, boys won't be a problem, I simply have no interest in them, but thank you anyway for the gift" Melody's father chuckled, "Well, honey you look exactly like your mother, so whether you're interested in them or not they might be chasing after you." Melody looked down sheepishly as a small giggle escaped from her lips,
"I'll fight them, they better stay away" Melody looked up and met her father's glance before striking a ninja pose.
Her father looked at his daughter with gentle and calming eyes,"One more thing baby girl, I want you to be careful about love-" before he could even finish his sentence, Melody snapped her head ready to pester her father with questions.
"Why. Loves amazing, mom taught me that herself"
Her father gave her a worried glare before continuing, "That's the problem. Your mother doesn't know what the worlds like, or at least she pretends not too. My point is that you may think love is special and a wonderful thing to feel, but sometimes, it makes people do crazy stupid things. Sometimes the things they do can even be dangerous and harm other people around them. Love works in many ways, sometimes people will throw the word around and trick people into doing things that will mess up their future. At the time they may feel like it's the right thing to do, but when the moments over, mistakes have been made. By the time they realize the mistake, it's too late. Love blinds people from seeing the real damage it causes. So in conclusion, all I'm asking is that you be safe and don't do anything you know you'll end up regretting for the term 'love'. I trust you to make smart decisions."
Melody was confused. She was only twelve and her father was going into great depth to explain love. In a twelve-year olds eyes, love meant love. It was supposed to mean things like family and friendship, even with pets, but her father was trying to say something else without saying it, hoping she'd understand which she didn't.
I'll have to ask Leah about what my dad means later, she's 16 and will defiantly understand, Melody thought as she brought her focus back on her father,
"Yes dad, I understand. You should go."
Her father turned around and glared at the guard calling any last-minute passengers. "You're right Mel, I guess this is actually goodbye" He wiped his eyes before crouching down to hug his daughter, "I love you. That's a love you should always have"
Her father whispered in her ear as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love you too-" Melody said as she let go of her father's warm embrace, "Go make a city proud" Her father laughed while running a hand through his hair, "I will. You know you remind me of when I was a kid. Judging how awesome I am, you should be exactly the same"
Melody giggled at the comment and curtseyed, her ruby-red locks flowing behind her back.
"Bye sweetie" Her father said as he turned around and headed off towards the boat. Melody stood there watching her father quickly get on while making his way beside her mother, who was waving frantically.
Before Melody could even watch her family go down, she ran to the nearest bathroom, heading straight towards the slightly broken mirror. She smoothed over her hair and sighed before looking deeply into her reflection. Her father was right; Melody did look exactly like her mother; they both had dazzlingly bright thin red hair that fell down to the middle of her back, she had her mother's wide adventure seeking violet eyes and the same small indent of a nose. The only thing that you could tell belonged to her father was her thick constantly smiling lips and the genuine Fitzpatrick smile.
Melody had one crazy personality; it seemed to be a huge mix between her father's and her mother's. She had her father's street smarts and good intuition, but when it came to books, she wasn't as clever as everyone would've liked. She was a natural fighter, who could take care of herself whether her parents allowed her to or not. She was also the trouble maker, and despite her tomboyish charm, she cared about her appearance a little too much. She was known as the crazy wild Fitzpatrick, always doing the opposite of what she was told, which occasionally got her into dangerous situations but she always pulled through. Many of her school mates thought she was a little to reckless but they were still her friends none the less. She had inherited her mother's good heartiness and bubbly charismatic personality although no personality would be complete without a huge attitude and a stubborn mind.
She preferred to be independent and always get things through hard work; she hated when people would call her a kid, she may look younger than her real age but she was very unique in her own little Melody way…
Years passed and the time flew by. Melody had changed throughout her schooling experience and became more responsible and organized, her tomboy phase had ended and she liked to be known as the fashionable girl. Her high school years went by quite fast, but that was the part of growing up, for nothing did last forever.
Melody wasn't popular but she did have many friends in all types of social circles, but out of all the people she had met, her best friend was Garth, the carefree mellow red blood cell. He was someone Melody could trust with her life. Garth was that special guy, he was always there for her when she had problems, and he reminded her so much of her parents.
In Melody's senior year, Leah and herself had moved out of Leah's parent's house and had bought an apartment.
The life in Frank was pretty peaceful for everyone, including the Immunity. The only time things got seriously bad was when a deadly virus named Thrax had entered the body and almost succeeded in killing Frank. Mayor Phlemming was too busy dealing with his re-election that it almost seemed like he didn't care what happened to the body, just as long as he got Frank to go to the Buffalo Wing Festival.
If it weren't for Osmosis Jones' intuition and his partner Drix, every citizen in Frank would've burned alive. Melody didn't know the situation but she heard bits and pieces from Leah, Ozzy and Drix.
After the incident, Leah had seemed to take interest in her admirer, Osmosis Jones after he saved her and the city. Frank's near death had put his daughter Shane into complete health mode, causing Frank to take better care for himself. When Mayor Phlemming didn't get re-elected his opponent, Tom Colonic, took his place as Mayor, finally treating the city the way everyone liked. Leah took her job back as Tom Colonic's aide, and had asked Tom if he would like a second aide. At first Mayor Colonic was reluctant, but he finally agreed saying Melody could have the job if she wants.
So in the end, you'd think that Melody has some sort of fairytale life, she's friends with none other, Osmosis Jones and his partner Drix, has a decent paying job, and is well liked in the city of Frank. But what's a fairytale without some type of dangerous love?...
So, what did you think of the prologue? The last section, it's sort of shitty. I'm sorry about that, but it's just a quick filler of how she grew up and how she's like so in chapter one you should understand.
Quick little things that should be mentioned:
1) I made Mayor Phlemming be Mayor way before Thrax tried to take down the body. It just seems right, because the body was in such bad shape that it honestly did look like he was mayor for earlier years.
2) It never really said if Leah had a family or siblings. So I just said she had parents but no siblings, cause it would be unnecessary to add them in.
3) There was never really a age given to all the characters. If you've seen the movie, then you might agree that Ozzy, Leah, Drix, and Thrax were all around the same age, maybe in their early 20's. So I made my character 4 years younger then them. In chapter one Melody will be 21 and anyone else should be around 25, maybe even 26.
4) Any comments, questions, suggestions ect is welcome. Don't be afraid to review your thoughts. Hope my OC is okay too, this is my first OC so I hope you guys are happy with her...
That's all I have to say for now, ;)
ONCE AGAIN I HOPE YOU LIKED IT AND YOU'LL CONTINUE READING THE STORY. IT MEANS A LOT TO ME.
READ AND REVIEW. LOVE YOU ALL
