Melody came into her father's office.

"Daddy, do you have a second?"

"I have all the time in the world for you, sweetheart." Melody sat down in a chair in front of the desk.

"I tried out for the talent show yesterday and I made it. There's only one problem, it's exactly 13 days from now."

"Why is that a problem?" Sonny asked confused.

"I asked Max, and he said that you were booked with meetings. It's fine though, I'm sure mom will tape it for you. I guess it was dumb coming in here, I'll leave now." Melody got up to leave but Sonny stopped her.

"Melody, why wouldn't you tell me that you were trying out?"

"Then you would have canceled all of the meetings and if I didn't make it then you would be mad that you canceled all the meetings for nothing." Melody explained getting sadder by the second. A tear leaked out of her eye. "I just don't want you to have to adjust your business for me. You don't do that for Michael, Morgan, Kristina, or Molly, why should you do it for me." Melody left the office. Sonny picked up the phone and rescheduled his meetings. He smiled and decided not to tell Melody just surprise her. Melody was in her room on oovoo with Emma.

"You didn't even ask him, you made a point then left. I told you to ask him, do you ever listen to me?" Emma asked crossing her arms.

"Do you ever listen to me?" Melody mocked before laughing. "I can't just go in there and say 'dad I made the talent show so cancel your meetings and come' I'm not that selfish."

"If you don't ask him, I'll come down there and ask him for you. I'm not scared of Sonny Corinthos."

"I'm not scared of my father." Emma rolled her eyes.

"Whatever, hey, want to meet up at Kelly's? I'll let you pretend to be upset so Mike will give us free stuff." Emma urged.

"As fun as that sounds, I can't. I'm going over to Grandma and Grandpa's to practice in front of them and Uncles Cameron and Jake. You can come too if you want."

"I'll have to ask mom and dad, but sure." Melody nodded and heard her phone start to ring with 'I want you back by Victorious'. "Sounds like you have to go, I'll talk to you in a few, I'll ask mom and dad." With that, Emma signed off as did Melody and picked up her phone.

"Hello."

"Hey sexy girl."

"Hi sweetness. What's with the nick names, Dan?"

"Just thought I would give you one." Melody laughed. Dan was her best guy friend she ever had. He was a year older than her and the only one who treated her like an adult.

"Did you have to pick that one? It sounds creepy when I answer my phone and that's the first thing I hear." She said while switching to her stomach and kicking her feet in the air.

"I thought it was cute." Melody shook her head. "I know you're shaking your head."

"How?" Just then, a pebble hit her window. She went over to the window and looked out. "Hey, go to the front door." She hung up and ran down the stairs. She raced past Milo and jumped over Max's feet. She flung open the front door and was scooped into a hug while being twirled around. She clung to his neck with a smile plastered on her face. "Oh my gosh I've missed you so much!" She yelled. Sonny came out to see what was going on. He saw his youngest daughter in the arms of a man he didn't know.

"Melody, who is this?" Sonny asked.

"Oh yeah, daddy this is Dan Saul. He used to go the same school as me but he graduated. He's been my best friend since I started at that school."

"Very nice to finally meet you Mr. Corinthos; I've heard nothing but good things about you." Dan said extending his hand. Sonny took it with a smile. Melody's smile remained on her face.

"Daddy, Dan was working in the same business, you know coffee importing." Sonny nodded and released the young man's hand.

"So what brings you here, Mr. Saul?"

"I just came by to see your daughter. I haven't seen her since I graduated to be completely honest, I missed her." Melody hugged his arm. Sonny could see the look in his daughter's eyes. She was in love.
