Before I start this, I'll spoil a bit and say Melody will sing. The song she will do a sort of parody on does not belong to me. It's from Steven Universe and all rights to that show and its song go to the proper companies. As noted in the beginning, I still own no rights to any other material used except my OC's. All credit goes to their proper creators for the other material. Now that that's out of the way, let us conclude this story. :)

An airship flew past. The Heroes plus Newton managed to land on it! Melody opened her eyes as both her and Newton unhug. "We're...alive," asked Melody. The two stood up, as well as the other three Heroes, and looked around. "Ha..we're alive!" Melody smiled brightly as she and Newton look at each other with joyful relief.

"Newton?!" A deep voice rang out. It sounded gruff yet with a slight british accent. Everyone turned to the source. Another lightbulb-headed sackperson stood at the wheel. He had a brown fish wrapped around his torso while its mouth was closed on top of his head. He wore a sort of sailor suit and had seaweed for a mustache.

Newton was the most surprised to see him as he said, "Papa?" Melody's eyes widen. "That's his dad?" Newton quietly stepped forward, fidgeting his hands.

Captain Pud continued as he placed his hands on his hips and gave Newton a parental look, "What did I say about the Titans, Newton?" Newton meekly scratched the side of his bulb cheek, glanced to the side, and said, "I don't remember there being a strict rule…"

"Newton," Captain Pud scolded. All Newton could do was gulp nervously. He was in big trouble. "We'll continue this at home. Come. Let us return to Stitchem Manor." Captain Pud then turned the wheel of the ship and flew past the Creative Heart, heading to the manor. Newton just folded his arms behind his back and looked down.

Scratch and Grounder looked over the deck. Scratch pointed out, "Look! The Creative Heart is releasing the creativity!" Grounder turned to Melody and asked, "Does that mean we did it?"

Melody smiled bright and said, "Yeah! The Titans are defeated. Bunkum is saved. Mission accomplished!"

Scratch and Grounder cheered to that. Then, with Scratch's good wing, they held hands and danced in a circle as they sang, "We did it! We did it! We did it! We did it!" Stitch hopped on Scratch's shoulder and they all laughed cheerfully.

Melody was beaming and laughing as well...until she realized something was missing. She turned around and looked to Newton. He stood at the railing on the other side of the deck, looking down. Melody decided to go over and see him.

Newton only looked down at Bunkum below him. He lets out a small sigh as he thought over everything that happened and realized what trouble he caused.

"Hey." He looked up and to his left. Melody came to his side and leaned against the railing, looking to him with a sympathetic smile yet concern. "How are you feeling?"

"I...could be better, dear friend." He looks back down. No point in lying anymore.

"Mm...sorry to hear that." She looks forward, watching Bunkum below her as well. It was a pretty nice view. With the creativity sparks, blue skies around them, and green grass far below, she couldn't help but smile. This world is beautiful to her, no matter what point of view she sees it as.

As she was watching the world as they fly by, Newton then realized something. He had to voice this realization. He nervously turned to Melody and said, "Um..c-..chum?" She looks to him, giving her full attention.

Newton looked down, folding his arms behind his back again. "This is embarrassing to say, but...I never got your name. I was so caught up in my plan that I didn't bother to get to know you better. Heh...I guess...I couldn't call myself a good friend. You must think you were a tool to me...you saved me and others...and I never knew your name."

Melody felt bad. She never really thought he used her as a tool. She didn't even realize that she never told him her name. Now that the realization hit, she decided to make that HER mistake and make up for it.

"Melody."

He looked up, in slight surprise. "What?" She fidgeted with her hands and gave a sheepish smile. She clarified, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you my name earlier, especially since you told me yours. But...it's Melody."

"Melody…" He repeated that quietly to himself. Then, his thoughts spoke for him. "That's a really pretty name." She blushed a little with the compliment, but she smiled warmly and said, "Thank you."

Silence came once more and Melody could sense he was still upset over what happened. She broke the silence and told him, "Newton. There's no need to be sad. The Titans' lost, Bunkum is saved, and you're safe too."

He only looked back down and said, "I-I know, dear friend. But..it's just-" She then placed her hand on his arm in comfort. "Hey...do you know what helps me when I'm feeling down?"

He looked up to her and lightly shook his head no. She continued, "I sing what I'm feeling. It's a great way to express what you're feeling."

She then looked out and said, "Like...one song I had in mind."

Before she knew it, she began to sing.

Life and death and love and birth and peace and war on the planet Bunkum~

Is there anything that's worth more than peace and love on the planet Bunkum~

Whoa~, come on and sing it with me~ She grabbed his hands and looked to him with a small eager smile.

"Sing?" He looked at her confused. He's never really sung before and the idea just sounds a little silly.

She just twirls and continues.

The words are linked to the key~

"Key?"

If it's a pattern~

If it's a pattern~

Then just repeat after me~

She picks up Stitch and hugs him. Then twirls with the two robots, who smiled and hugged her as well. She goes back to Newton's side, willing to teach.

Life and death and love and birth~ She motioned him to continue. Hesitantly, he gave it a try.

Newton: Life and death and love and birth~

Melody then told him, "Now you sing Mi Fa Mi Mi Fa Mi Ti La." Trying to follow what tone she noted, they surprisingly did this next line with harmony.

Both: And peace and war on the planet Bunkum~

Melody happily held his hands and shouted, "Yes yes! You got it!" Newton just quietly answered, "I'm not sure I feel completely better though."

Melody replied, "Then maybe you should sing something. Sing your own song!" Newton felt nervous, having the spotlight suddenly on him. He waved his hands and said, "O-oh no. I'm no good at that, dear friend. But...I do enjoy it when..you sing. Perhaps you can continue?" He blushed a little at the last statement.

Melody took a small breath and decided to do what he asked. Anything to help him feel better. When she continued, everyone was already back at the manor. Nana Pud, Captain Pud, the three Heroes, and Newton all listened to her.

Melody: I guess we're all done here

I guess it's time for us to go

We all faced what we feared~

There's so much I got to know~

I thought this was insane~!

But I had fun too~

Anybody would if they got to meet amazing people like you~

Newton smiled warmly to Melody. Captain and Nana Pud hugged each other with warm smiles as well, flattered by her song. Scratch, Grounder and Stitch chuckled a little and applauded for her. Soon, they started joining in on her song.

As they all sang, they got to work on helping to seal the Titans for good.

Stitch: Life and death and love and birth and

Stitch carried piles of chains to the Titan box.

Grounder: Life and death and love and birth and

Grounder used his drill hands to drill some metal plates together.

Scratch: Life and death and love and birth and peace and war on the planet Bunkum~

Scratch carried the panels to the top of the box, with Grounder helping on sealing the top.

Nana and Captain Pud: Is there anything that's worth more~

Captain Pud tugged on the chains, tightening and fastening the top of the seal. Nana Pud helped him as well. "Thanks, dear," said Captain Pud to Nana Pud.

Melody: Is there anything that's worth more~

Melody was telling her adventure to Nana and Captain Pud, with the other Heroes listening and adding to her story. Newton, meanwhile, was working on the Dimensional Doorway that will bring Melody and the others home.

Newton: Is there anything that's worth more than peace and love on the planet Bunkum~?

He then looked over to Melody and noticed her smiling bright. As she giggled and beamed, he found himself beaming. Literally. His face shone a little brighter as a smile appeared on his face. A warm feeling grew inside...something affectionate. He wasn't sure what it was, but it sure made him feel good.

Soon, the Titan box was sealed with a metal top and chained. Nana Pud tended to Scratch's injuries and put his broken wing into a sling. Melody could fix him and Grounder when she got home, but the sling helped. Captain Pud looked at the Titan box and said, "That should hold them."

He turned to Melody and shook her hand in gratitude. "Bunkum is forever in your debt. As too am I, on behalf of my slim-witted son." When his back was turned, Melody's expression turned sour. Sure, Newton made a mistake, but she found it insulting to insult him like that.

Speaking of Newton, Captain Pud turned to him and spoke, snapping Newton out of his little trance. "Now, Newton. How are you getting along with that Dimensional Doorway?"

Newton turned back to the machine and pressed some buttons. After making some adjustments, he pressed the large red button. The Doorway turned on and the portal opened. "As good as new," exclaimed Newton with pride.

He then turned to the band of Heroes and asked, "You sure you don't want me to come with you all? I'm sure I'd be a great help." Scratch and Grounder just looked to the sides, hesitant on answering. Melody had the expression that said she wouldn't mind, but she couldn't say. Stitch just bluntly says, "Naga."

"I-I know a few jokes." Newton tried, but even he knew that he couldn't come. Not after what he did. He looked down, disappointed in himself for being so untrustworthy now.

Grounder then shoved Melody forward, hoping she could talk him out of coming. Melody turned back to glare. Grounder pointed to Scratch, blaming him for the push. Scratch's back was turned and he was idly whistling. Stitch just glances to the side, trying to appear innocent.

Melody looked back to Newton. He couldn't come back with her even if she wanted him to. The three don't accept him...at least not yet. Plus, if he came, he wouldn't understand yet. The portal leading them to Craftworld was actually magically adjusted so it would take them back to her Imagiworld. She hasn't even told him who she really was. She finally decided to try to convince him to stay in Bunkum.

"Newton?" She walks up to him. He looks up, giving her his full attention. Taking a small breath, she continued. "I think it's for the best if you stay here because...Craftworld already has me to take of it. And with the three Heroes, Craftworld will be in GREAT hands. Bunkum, however, will have less help. Bunkum's gonna need someone to look after it and you seem capable with your dedication and intelligence."

Newton found himself in awe. For a girl her age, she can say quite a speech. She continues, "As far as I can see, I can't IMAGINE Bunkum without you in it. You set on making Bunkum better, but you already have. YOU are what makes Bunkum the happiest, jolliest picnic spot in the whole Imagisphere." She then extends her hand out, expecting a farewell handshake goodbye. "And I do hope we'll see each other again," she finishes.

Newton just looked down at her hand, then back up to her. No one...not even Mumsy or Papa has ever told him such a nice thing. She never saw him as a screw-up. She trusts HIM to take care of this world, despite almost destroying it. She made him feel significant. She made him feel...happy.

Melody jolted with surprise when he hugged her instead. But the shock faded as she smiles warmly and hugs back. The three friends were surprised as well, but it changed to affection. Scratch replied, "Awww." Grounder chuckled, finding this cute. Stitch, in his thoughts, confirmed his belief that Newton was Melody's "boojiboo."

"Aw~. She's the nicest friend Newty could ever have," Nana Pud stated to Captain Pud, while holding hands with him. Captain Pud added, quite amused, "She might be the ONLY friend Newton has ever had."

Soon, Newton ceased his embrace and looked to Melody with a small smile. He then said, "I-I...hope we see each other soon, too. Be sure to visit." Melody nodded. She will most certainly plan to.

Now, the Heroes face the portal, excited to go home. After a long journey with many obstacles, they finally get to return to where they belong. "Well I hope Craftworld is ready for the four of you," shouted Newton as he stood with his mother and father.

Stitch jumped in first, waving goodbye. Grounder was next, chuckling. Scratch ran in, laughing as well. Melody was about to enter, but she stopped at the steps. She looked back to the Pud family and smiled. "Gosh...I'm gonna miss this place." She then waved to them, shouting, "Goodbye! Thanks for everything!"

"Goodbye luv! Safe travels!" Nana Pud waved back. "Farewell, young one," Captain Pud stated with a polite wave. Newton waved as well, smiling warmly to her. Melody smiled back and jumped in the portal.

Once she entered, the Dimensional Doorway shut down. The four Heroes going back to the Imagiworld. Nana Pud and Captain Pud head downstairs with Newton tailing, telling what happened with the Titans.

"And then, Papa, I approached the Third Titan fearlessly. I ably navigated the belly of the beast before planting an explosive device deep in its gullet…" As Newton rambled, all Captain Pud did was quietly roll his eyes. Despite some of it being true, he knows Newton tends to exaggerate.

Meanwhile, Melody and the other three returned to their home world. After Melody, with Stitch's help, made repairs to Scratch's arm and Grounder's head, she seemed to appear...less energetic than normal. She would shrug it off whenever others question.

Whether it will take time or comfort from friends, one thing is certain: There were more adventures to explore...and who knows which one Melody will do next?

THE END

WOO! And with that, this fic is complete! But. I am not through with writing all together. I have some ideas and I want to hear YOUR thoughts on them. My ideas for the next fiction I will write would be:

Little Big Planet 3 Sequel: The Search for Newton

Little Big Planet 2 Adventure. A prequel to Melody's Little Big Planet 3 adventure

Undertale: Melody's adventure (with a slight change of character profile)

For now, I will take a break and focus on other things. But I leave the comment section open so I can hear what you want me to write next. For now, thank you for following on this fiction. Have a good day! ;)
