-- A little later that morning --

Melody was sitting on the beach when she heard someone walking behind her. She turned around to see Satorious walking down the path right next to the beach.

"Satorious! Wait up!" Melody said, and Satorious turned around.

"Hello, Melody." He said.

"Hi. Um... I like what you're wearing today." She said, and he smiled. Instead of wearing his usual outfit, he was wearing a short sleeved red shirt, with light blue jeans, and white sneakers.

"Thank you." He said. "I like what you're wearing too." He replied. She was wearing a violet skirt that stopped right before her knees, a white t-shirt with the saying "I love you beary much" written in pink letters, and blue sandals.

She blushed, "Thank you." Then, there was a pause. "So, uh... the dance is three days from now."

"Yes. And?"

"Well... I was wondering... actually hoping that you would... go with me?" She asked, hopefully.

"Uh... yeah... sure, Melody." Satorious replied, slowly.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Great! I'll see ya soon then, Satori!" She said as she skipped off, happily.

'Satori?' Satorious asked himself, but thought it best to just shrug it off.

-- Later that day --

Aster was sitting in Chazz's room along with everyone else, except Melody and Satorious, when Zane walked in, and he looked a little down.

"What's wrong, Zane?" Syrus asked.

"Nothing." Zane said, covering up his sadness with an actor's smile.

"I know you better than that, Zane." Syrus said. "Now tell me what's wrong." He said as Zane plopped down on the couch next to him.

"Well... it's something that I actually need to tell Aster." Zane said, which obviously caught Aster's attention.

"Tell me what?"

"Well... first of all you have to know that I'm doing this because it's the right thing to do."

"Heat buildup. Bad, bad, bad." Aster said to himself. "Don't tell me."

"No, Aster, I really think you should hear this one."

"Alright. As long it doesn't have anything to do with Satorious and Melody... I'm fine."

"Okay." Zane said with a sigh. 'That makes things a little more difficult.' He thought. "Have you ever heard the expression..." He said, then pretended to stab himself, fall on the floor, and die.

"Well, you certainly have my attention." Aster said, and Zane sat up.

"Aster... who do you think Satorious is taking to the dance?"

"Well, I would think that it would be me. He and I are dating after all."

"Well... I kinda heard that... Satorious is taking Melody to the dance."

"What?" Aster asked.

"Satorious is taking Melody to the dance." He repeated.

"What?" Aster asked again, but this time stood up and went over to his bag.

"Nothing happened at all." Zane said, trying to cover up what he had just said, but sighed when he realized I couldn't do it. "You know normally I love telling you bad things, but this one is killin' me." Zane said as he sat up, and walked over to Aster.

Aster took out his cell phone and dialed Melody's number.

"Melody, pick up the phone." He said when the voice mail came on. "I know you're there." He said, but closed his phone, then reopened it and dialed Satorious' number.

"Aster, I don't think-"

"Zane, I'll reach him. He wouldn't start avoiding me, because nothing happened. You said so yourself." Aster said, but got Satorious' voice mail. "Satorious, are you there? It's me. Pick up. Where are you?" He asked, but slowly gave up and closed his phone again. But this time left it closed.

"I had to tell you. I mean, you understand that I had to tell you what I saw."

"Zane, I know you were only trying to look after me, and try not to let anything bad happen to me!" He said as he pushed Zane backwards onto the couch as he said the word "happen". "How could you let this happen to me?!"

"...Okay... I understand that you're upset, and that's why I'm not gonna kick your ass." Zane said.

"Did Satorious really tell Melody that he'd go with her to the dance?"

"...He did."

"Then my ass is kicked anyway." Aster said as he slowly walked out of the room.

-- Later --

Satorious saw Aster standing on the cliff behind the Slifer dorm, and he ran up to him.

"Aster! I just got your message! You sounded sad and I got so worried. So, I've been looking everywhere for you." Satorious said, clutching his chest, looking as if he were going to have a heart attack.

Aster didn't say anything.

"Aster... is something wrong?"

No reply.

"Aster, talk to me."

Still no reply.

"Aster, why won't you talk to me?" Satorious asked, not noticing that Aster's fists were clenching, tightly. Before he could utter another sound, Aster turned around, fast, and punched Satorious right in the face. The result, giving Satorious a nearly broken nose. Satorious held his nose in place, in fear of it falling off, and looked at Aster, wide-eyed.

"Leave me alone, you two-timing, son of a bitch!" Aster yelled before running off, quickly. Tears streamed down his face as he continued running as fast as his legs could carry him.

-- That night --

'That stupid girl thinks she can just come here and take whoever she pleases!' Aster thought, angrily. 'And Satorious actually fell for her little whore's game!' He thought, then noticed he was standing right next to Melody's room. 'Trash the little whore's room! Perfect payback!' He thought with a smirk. Then charged in and started to throw things around. Throwing things towards the wall, on the floor, throwing things up to the ceiling to have them quickly fall to the ground with loud clashes.

Right when Aster was gonna start throwing her bag around, he saw a letter hanging out from the pocket. He quickly took the letter, opened the envelope, and read the letter.

This is what it said:

My dearest daughter, Melody,

I am sorry that I could not be with you any longer. The treatment has gotten to me more than the cancer itself has. I want you to know that I love you very much, and will think of you often while I'm in Heaven along with your father, who I also love very much.

I know that you've never gotten the chance to meet your dad, but he died when you were very young. He lived away from us, but we still kept in touch and spoke often. I am sorry I have kept all this from you for so long, but there is one other secret that I must tell you.

Your father had custody... of your twin brother.

'Her twin?! There's two of them?!' Aster thought. 'I bet he's the man-whore of the family. Ha ha... man-whore... that's funny!' He thought, and continued reading.

Your twin brother's name is... Aster. Yes, he's the famous pro-duelist. That's why I told you to go to Duel Academy before I died. I wanted you to meet your brother. I hope you two play nice and get along.

Your dying, but still loving, Mother

'I'm her twin?!' Aster thought. 'Melody and I are... twins?!'
