The sun glistened off of the water as a beautiful summer has come to an end. Melody sat there on the beach, sad that the summer went by so fast. She spent most of her summer swimming and playing with tip and dash. They were the best friends anyone could ever ask for. As she reflected all that had happened this summer, like destroying morgana, getting rid of the wall, she heard small ripples in the water. She looked up to see tip and dash with sad looks, tears welling up in their eyes.
"Well kid…guess it's goodbye huh?" said tip, trying not to cry.
"I guess so….." replied melody sadly.
They stared at each other for a moment until tip slowly put out a flipper. She took it slowly as he kissed her hand reverently. She then pulled him into a hug, finally hearing the penguins quiet sobs of pure sadness come out of him. Tears fell from melody's eyes onto his back as he stroked his feathers one last time. She put him down and looked at dash. This hurt her badly because the walrus had a look so sad, it could break your heart.
"Promise me you'll never forget us?" asked dash, swallowing a lump in his throat.
"I will remember you always…but I think I'll miss you most of all" cried melody.
Dash pulled her into his flippers and buried his face into her hair, smelling the sweet beautiful black hair. Melody clinged to his blubber, feeling how warm and smooth it was. Tip also joined in the hug as they all broke down crying, not wanting to let go. But sadly, as the sun was setting, they broke their hug and Melody, with tears down her face, watched her friends swim off to the arctic.
She went inside and fell into the bed, tears falling hard into the soft warmth that felt like dash's blubber, and the sheets that felt like tips feathers. She clutched them closer to her as she slowly fell asleep. Her eyes closed as she imagined she was sleeping with tip and dash. She then saw a shooting star and whispered,
"Please…please…please don't keep me and my friends far apart for long"
She then saw it glow even brighter, thinking the star had heard her prayer and wish. With that she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
