Melody sat down with Frodo, keeping her wits about her. The last thing Melody expected was the meeting room to be so crowded, let alone know what to do with herself. It was clear these Voices cared about her. They wanted to take care of her. They all meant something to her. Melody just didn't know how much they cared for her.

She stared at them all, scared out of her mind. Her lip trembled, as her hands shook. She wanted to go home. She just wanted to be home right now, instead of here. The fact that she couldn't wasn't good. Why was she here? Why was Frodo with her?

She looked at him, but also her Voices, who meant so much to her. They wanted to keep her on medicine. They were the ones who wanted to keep her from going mad! Well, Melody was already mad. She was insane. She didn't need this from them. She didn't need this. So, why was she here? Was there a reason? Couldn't she go home?

She looked up at Seraphina, even as the Oriental Cat got help with the puzzle she was solving. The puzzle with the rings needed to be moved from one pillar to the next.

Seraphina looked up at Revan, who was assisting her with the puzzle. Melody watched as the rings moved from one place to the next. Each ring meant something and each ring needed its place. Melody sighed, looking at Frodo in confusion.

Melody couldn't take it! She wanted to get away! Away from him! She jerked up, darting towards the doorway. She was blocked by Frodo, who held her.

"Get the nurse!" Frodo cried, as Melody's healer ran in with the medicine. Frodo kept a firm grip on Melody, as she was poked with the needle. Melody squirmed until the medicine was reached her veins, calming her down. Frodo brought Melody over to their chairs, sitting down with her and relaxing her.

Frodo didn't want to do this. He had every right to assume they would be home. But he knew the journey was far from over. "I told you, you needed medicine." He whispered in Melody's ear, kissing her temple.

Melody sighed, finding it hard to think of anything else.

.

Seraphina smiled. The last thing she wanted to do was work on this pillar puzzle. But here she was working on it with Revan. The fact that the pillar puzzle lined up with what she was doing on her laptop was a big feat. She looked up at Revan for support, finding it easier to work with him.

She didn't know, but she found comfort working with the Sith Lord. It was as if they were meant to be. She turned her attention to the golden house cat, sitting in the meeting room with her and the other Voices. In his hands was a record book, pertaining to Melody Corner and her life. Seraphina wanted to know more about Melody, but the golden house cat closed the book.

Seraphina chuckled. "Fine Cooper. You do what you want."

Cooper stared at her in admonition. He told her, "Don't mind me. I just need to keep track of Melody's life."

Seraphina shook her head. "Whatever you say. Let me just… figure out this puzzle."

Cooper looked at her for a second, nearly wanting to say something. He snickered, deciding it was best that things stay as they are. "All right. I will."

"You will what?" Seraphina asked, curiously.

"Nothing," Cooper said, even though his mind was on the puzzle. Seraphina ignored him, returning to her business with the puzzle.

.

The pillar puzzle was one of the most difficult puzzles to solve. But then, it typically was. For even as the rings moved about from one pillar to the next, there was this concentration that came to the game.

The way the rings moved from one pillar to the next left the atmosphere feeling peaceful. And so, the puzzle began with the top ring moving down in one pillar, and the other rings following suit. The bottom ring took the lead, landing at the bottom of the far-right pillar.

And so, the line continued. The second to the bottom ring was next, moving with precision about the pillars, until finally joining the bottom ring. And so on, and so forth, with the other rings. The whole puzzle took an hour to complete, with Revan's help, bringing the top smallest ring to the far-right pillar, and opening the tile on the floor to the right of the far-right pillar.

Hermione made her way to the tile, moving it away to find a small wooden chest. There was also a key, which Hermione used to open the chest.

Inside the chest was a grey device, the very same one used to open portals. Hermione showed the device to the other Voices, before presenting it to Frodo. Frodo took the device. He saw his name as well as Melody's name on the device.

Strange.

"There you go. See? It's for us," Frodo said, kissing Melody's cheek.

Melody smirked, not knowing what else to do. "Frodo, if we ever get separated, may you find someone else to fill your shoes and take you on date nights. I'm just… I'm not worthy for you. I'm never going to win. I'm never going to do great things. I'm sorry I've ever treated you horribly," Melody sagged, closing her eyes.

Frodo looked at her in admonition. He told her, "I don't think like that." He chuckled. "I'll admit, you are a piece of work. But you're my piece of work." He chuckled. "Come on. Let's head to the clinic." He stood up, taking her hand. He looked at the other Voices, telling them, "Ready? Let's go!" He nearly turned on the device, when Seraphina spoke up:

"Wait!" Seraphina cried, for all to hear, "You're not leaving without us pulling an All-Nighter Clip Show. Don't you want to see all the fight scenes we did, how we got this far? Come on, guys! We're in here! We might as well do this." She gestured, "Come on. Let's sit down and watch the clip show."

Melody looked around, telling the group, "We might as well." She returned to her seat without complaint. The other Voices followed, taking their seats, too.

Seraphina smiled, loving this. Cooper, on the other hand, glowered, knowing what she was up to. "This had better be good." He said, grumbling.

"Oh! It is!" Seraphina laughed. She turned to the clock, telling Mrs. Time, "Oh Mrs. Time, are you ready?"

"Are you ready?" Mrs. Time asked in a high-pitched, singing voice. "Let's do this! Ready? Ready?"

"Would you just get to it already?" Cooper announced, in a surprisingly bad mood.

"Ooh! I see someone's in a bad mood today," Mrs. Time said.

"Yeah, let's go," Cooper said.

Mrs. Time shrugged, projecting images on the television screen, for the entire group to see. She broadcast the character fight sequence on the clocks, too. "Ready? Ready? Good! Let's go!" The clock started, allowing Frodo to see his time in Shelob's lair.
