"Oh boy did it feel good to sleep in." Melody stretched a little as Luna walked with her to Aria's dorm. "Hopefully Aria is ready, I don't want to be late meeting the boys."

"Does she have a habit of being late?" Luna asked with a raised eyebrow and smirk.

"No sometimes she gets ready really early and I wouldn't be surprised if she's doing something to pass the time." The two had reached Aria's dorm. "Ari we're here."

Melody knocked a bit but Aria didn't answer. Melody checked the door and saw it was unlocked she carefully opened it. Aria was sitting on her bed with headphones in and singing.

"Because together we can change the world!" Aria sang jumping up from the bed. "Together we change the world!"

"Seriously Ari." Melody said.

Aria blushed and took her headphones out. "How much did you hear?"

"Just enough you were sing that Japanese song again." Melody rolled her eyes and Aria growled.

"It's called anime, Melody." Aria put her hand on her hip.

"Whatever it's your Japanese shows, probably the one about the cannibles."

"Okay one it's called Kyoto Vampire and two the song was the opening to Skating With Love."

Luna poked her head in and saw Aria had decorated her side of the room with posters. One had a few guys on it and she assumed it was Skating With Love but she saw a few others with guys on it. She knew Lincoln read manga a couple of times but she never paid attention to the series he was reading. She knew one about a book or something that could kill people but didn't know the title.

"Come we can't fight or Isaac and Ethan will be waiting." Aria grabbed the bag next to her bed and started to head out. The three girls walked out and went to the lobby. Issac and Ethan were sitting in the bottom floor common room.

"Who's ready for a day of fun?" Ethan asked doing a little dance in his chair.

"You know I am?" Aria repeated the dance a little while pointing to Ethan.

The five friends walked out of the dorms. They saw a few groups of upperclassmen walking into cars and drove off as they waited for a campus bus.

"Man I wish freshman could have cars on campus." Melody sulked seeing everyone else driving off. "I would have loved to have my car with us."

"I just got my car. I've barely gotten to use it." Aria agreed as the campus sutle pulled up. The five boarded and sat down. Luna and Isaac ended up next to each other.

"Did you sleep well?" Luna asked the boy next to her.

"Of I did." Isaac looked out the window for a moment. "I, got to sleep in."

"Is it rare for you?" Luna asked.

"I'm an early riser. My older brother isn't a fan of it or wasn't." Isaac adjusted his sleeve as he responded to the question.

"Oh did sometime happen?" Luna asked concerned and looked behind her. The other three didn't hear Isaac's comment.

"No when was about ten my dad got a promoted so we got a bigger house. It has four bedrooms so we have our own rooms." Isaac explained a Luna hid a sigh of relief that Isaac's brother was okay.

"So do you have any other siblings?" Luna asked keeping up the conversation.

"I have an older sister." Issac admitted. "She graduated from college last year."

"My two older sisters went to colleges in state. I'm the first out of state."

"What is Michigan like?" Issac asked.

"To be honest I can't compare to Massachusetts yet. I haven't even been here a week."

Soon the shuttle bus stopped and they got off quickly along with a few other underclassmen. Luna looked around a couldn't believe how close she was to the town. She had no idea what to except.

"Come guys I hear there's a really good pizza shop down town." Melody said leading the others down the city streets. Luna took in the scenery. The town of Amberheart had this mix of an old time and a modern feel. From what Lisa told her Amberheart was founded around the time of the Industrial Revolution. The university itself was founded in 1963 with the band coming in to play in two years later. In the seventies the Amberheart band rose to popularity with their Dragonflies tribute show. With the internet the band became more popular around the country. Luna was honestly surprised that Lisa went that far in her research but Lisa was never the one to ignore facts.

"Man I love old cities." Ethan said as they walked around. "They have such a charm to them."

"Looks about an 1800s style." Isaac said admiring the buildings.

"Here we are." Melody said pointing to the small pizza shop. "They have good pizza here."

"Is it true pizza?" Aria asked seemingly making some sort of joke.

"Ari stop it, yes it's authentic." Melody played with the joke.

The five walked inside. It was simple place and there were a few people inside and some people behind the counter. Melody went up and order food for everyone with Aria next to her. Luna and the two boys took a seat next to the window. Luna looked out the window and noticed the bustling city. Royal Woods was normally much quieter but she did enjoy the cities bustling feel.

"Okay we got Lemon Twist for Ethan and Aria, and Cola for the rest of us." Melody said as she placed the respective drinks down.

"Best way to start hanging out." Ethan said as he opened his soda bottle. "With food."

"Okay Luna." Melody decided to called out the Loud sister. "What is like with eight younger siblings?"

"Well after my older sisters Lori and Leni left I was put in charge of watching my younger siblings. I also drove all of us to school and sometimes made us food when our Dad wasn't home."

"Just as I excepted free babysitting." Melody took a sip of her drink.

"I mean it's not so bad. Luan sometimes is out doing her her party planning, Lynn has her sports, Lincoln can be out with his friends, and Lucy does a lot of poetry readings. So the worst is my youngest sister Lily but if I get tired I normally put on the T.V. and she's fine."

"So you have to deal with those baby shows."

"Oh come they aren't that bad." Aria interrupted before Melody could continue. "Just avoid the very avoiding ones and you'll be fine."

"Ari you babysat for rich people."

"They weren't that rich."

"They had a hot tub."

Aria shrugged as their number was called. The same two girls went to get the food. Luna, Ethan, and Isaac sat there for a bit until they returned. Perm norm they got plain cheese as it was the only one all five of them agreed on. Luna immediately took only a single slice, still use to getting to not having ten siblings. After seeing a single slice left, Luna sheepishly took the final slice. The five kept talking but Luna still took notice of Isaac removing the cheese that was hanging of his slices of pizza. She shrugged it off as but couldn't help but wonder why he took it off to begin with. It could have been just a habit he had picked up over the years. Once everyone was finished with their lunch the five left the restaurants.

"Okay what should we do now?" Ethan asked swinging his arms around a bit.

Luna pondered the question for a bit. She mainly thought about what Lisa told her. The six, almost seven year old surely did her research. "Maybe we could go to the Heart. I hear it's a shopping center in the center of town. There's also a few places to get food or drinks. We can spend the rest of the day there if we want."

"Oh love it. Luna is so smart." Ethan said. "Let's go."

The friends walked around the city for a bit. They quickly found a bus stop to take them to the center of the city. The city traffic made it longer than it normally would be. It was about lunch hour so many people were leaving work for their break. After some time they made it to the Heart. The place, mainly the food places were crowded with people. Making sense it was one of the last weekends of summer. There was also some fish decorating the place that were made of plastic water bottles.

"Impressive." Melody said walking over to admire them a bit. "I love it when people make art out of junk like this."

"Guys they have a NerdTopic here!" Aria said excitingly. "This is so much bigger than the one at home. Good thing I brought my NerdCash."

Aria pulled out a piece of light purple paper. Melody laughed a little. "Okay Aria we can go there first."

Aria's eyes went wide as she went in Isaac quickly followed her in. Luna poked her head in and found they had a t-shirt section based on music. Curiosity got the best of her and she walked over. She took notice of a shirt with Mick Swagger's logo and a lyric from one of his songs.

"You a Mick Swagger fan?" Melody asked walking over.

"You have no idea. I may or may not have a t-shirt that he wore that I brought with me because it's one my favorite shirt." Luna blushed a bit from embarrassment.

Melody laughed a little. "I've been Aria's best friend for five years and she is the biggest fangirl in the world. It can be so cute sometimes. She even once submitted fanfiction as an English assignment and got an A."

Luna looked at Melody puzzled. "Why did she do that?"

"Her favorite book is called Fandom Life and it's a plot point or something involving the main character writing doing the same thing. Aria figured it was possible but under different circumstance. She tested that theory and proved it."

"Melody look what I found." Aria came over holding a white shirt with a few people one it. "It's a Kyoto Vampire: B shirt with the Dhampir Squad on it. Here take a picture of me with it."

"Okay." Melody took Aria's phone and snapped a picture of it. "Why did you want this?"

"I'm going to send it to Damon he's a really fan of Kyoto Vampire." Aria took her phone back and went off to the anime section. Isaac was there with her also looking at bit of merchandise but didn't appear to be that interesting.

"What even is a dhampir?" Luna asked looking away from her shirt for a moment. Melody shrugged a bit before the two went to buy the shirt Luna picked out.

"Are you sure you didn't want anything?" Luna asked as the two walked outside.

"Eh NerdTopic isn't my store." Melody is explained as the two took a seat on a bench nearby. "But I go in when Ari and I hang out sometimes. I know how much she loves it there. She always finds a sale there. It's actually kind of funny."

"So they're humans who have vampire venom in them. Half-human, half-vampire and they fight vampires." Aria explained to Ethan and Isaac as they walked out.

"But they don't have all the vampire powers?" Ethan looked confused as they walked over to the others.

"No because they have this chemical called Vampquie in them that conceals the powers unless they need it. The protagonist Sasaki has a vampire stomache so he's more of a wild card."

"Talking about the sexy vampires again." Melody said with a laugh.

"Oh I was explaining to Ethan and Isaac what a Dhampir is." Aria explained pointing to the two boys. "They were confused on what the word means."

"Alright then." Luna said standing up. "Come on dudes the day is still young."

AN: Okay I love writing for Melody she is based on one of best friend's and this is so much fun to write her personality. I'm trying my hardest to make them accurate. See you next chapter.
