Happy Birthday Jim.

Melody, lead by Matt, felt her way gracefully to the hole in the wall. Doc had since moved but there were new boxes and such things in the halls of the old house.

"A new Silly Creature is coming," he mused.

"Human," she said softly and lethargically.

"Oh right, I knew that."

"Sure, sure." She said in her babyish way of speaking.

Gobo heard the childish voice ring through the hole. Red smiled and stayed back a little bit. She was still, though she'd never admit it, scared of the 'Outer Space'.

"Are you Melody?" Gobo asked her. She looked at him. She looked somewhat surprised that she could see him. For three years, from the ages of eight to eleven, she'd grown accustomed to not seeing or hearing anything. She spelled and never spoke which was why her speech was so lethargic.

"I . . . am." She spoke but the speaking took effort. At least it came out right. Why can I hear myself and them now when I couldn't hear anything before?
"What is it like . . . in Outer Space?"

"Earth?" She asked one of the only words she really knew how to say.

"Is that what you call it?" He asked.

"Uh huh. We . . . call . . . it . . . Earth." She said.

"Yes well what is earth like?" He asked.

"It's hard . . . to describe." It's a bad place don't take me back there. Don't make me. You can't make me.

"I have time, we have the whole walk to fraggle rock." Gobo said. When they went through the hole in the wall she was surprised to see that she could SEE and HEAR everything.

"Is this the silly creature?" Red asked. Melody looked at her and smiled. Melody nodded.

"So what is Outer Space like?" Gobo asked and Melody just giggled then again turned somber quickly.

"Earth is . . . dangerous. I'm . . . leaving . . . it at I'm glad . . . I left." She said distantly.

"Why? I find Outer Space interesting." Gobo said with a smile.

"You haven't seen it . . . with my eyes." She whispered. He looked at her with a cocked head. "I was. . .blinded . . . by another Silly . . . Human. I was blinded by . . . another human."

"How?" Gobo asked somewhat shocked.

"Not all Silly . . . Creatures are . . . good." She said trying to speak more clearly.

Gobo then took a look at her a long look at her. Her hair was blonde, dirty blonde but it had a bit of a golden hue to it. Her eyes were silvery in color but seemed to still have a slight hint of a green iris.

Her face was full and still some what young looking, however, in places such as her cheeks the skin was just starting to fit around her cheeks. She was growing into a young woman instead of a child. Her face was pleasant to look at the 'pizza face' hadn't yet set in and she still had a slight youth filled glow that had yet to be covered by the makeup that most 11 year old girls prized. She didn't put it on. He continued to look at her. Her clothes were nothing more than a simple pair of jean shorts and a Hawaiian esq surfer shirt.

"Here's the great hall." Gobo told her. "Come here there's someone I want you to meet. Hey Wembly come over here, eh." He said to his friend.

"Wembly this is Melody." He said. "Melody this is Wembly."

"Hi Melody," he grinned enthusiastically.

"Hi." She said softly not trusting her lethargic voice to work if she spoke loudly. Off in the distance a sweet pipe could be heard playing.

"Cantus is here!" Mokey said excitedly. She rushed over to the mistral who smiled at her in his wise way.

"Who is this?" He asked gesturing to Melody.

"This is Melody." Gobo said.

"A fitting name for someone who shines so brightly with the gift of song." He said.

"But I. . . can't speak well . . . much less sing." She tried to say.

"Who said you had to sing to make music Melody?" He asked her smiling. She looked at him a small smile spreading across her normally grim features. It was like he read her mind.

Gosh I love Cantus. :) He's so epic and win. Jim Henson was his voice so I found it only fitting that this should be in his birthday chapter. I'm wearing my yellow turtleneck that looks just like Red Fraggles except it's yellow. :) It's my super awesome tribute to his birthday. :D If you can't tell I'm a huge fan. I'm also wearing my Mokey necklaces and Mokey sweater with my Boober hat. XD
