Melody and Bleep were hanging out with Trance in Hydroponics. The purple pixie and Melody had really taken a shine to each other. Bleep was included in that too.(Author's little aside. I would just like to say how much I adore Bleep. He, Melody and Josie are my favorite characters. THEY RULE!!!! Now back to your story.) "It's so pretty here, Trance. I think it's the prettiest place on Andromeda."

Trance smiled and her tail wagged in pleasure. "Thank you. I really do try to keep it nice and it's always great when someone else notices. It is the best place on the ship."

Bleep flew onto Trance's shoulder. "Bleep bleep."

Melody was just about to translate when Trance answered Bleep. "Yes, Bleep. I know it's your favorite place too. Thank you for saying so. It's a nice compliment."

Melody was stunned. "You can understand Bleep too? I've never met anyone else who could."

Trance grinned broadly. "Well now you have. Bleep is a sweetheart and so are you. It's wonderful to have you both around."

Melody giggled. "Not everybody thinks so."

Trance knew who she was talking about-Alexandra and Beka. "You don't worry about them. All that matters is that you stay you."

Melody smiled. "I will. I love being me and I love everybody. And I have some new friends now. I love making friends."

"Bleep bleep." Bleep seconded that motion.

Trance smiled at them. They were both fun to have aboard. "Well you just keep on going the way you are. You are truly special." Trance had never met anyone who accepted her for who she was with no questions. Untill Melody. It was a nice change. Melody was a rare one.

Melody smiled. "So are you Trance. I love your purpleness. I also love your tail. It's so cute."

Melody had just won Trance's heart for life. "Thank you, Melody. I quite agree."
