SAY
"Mel," Bloom said, shaking Melissa from her reverie. "The others will be waking up soon, will you go get some water?"
At Melissa's questioning look, Bloom added, "They might be thirsty." Then, after making sure the others couldn't hear, she said, "And if we have trouble getting some of them moving, we can pour water on them."
Sure enough, when Melissa came back with three one-gallon jugs filled with ice cold water, everyone was awake, but they couldn't get Stella or Riven to get up.
"Mel, you think we will need it?" Bloom asked her.
"I think we do." Then, walking over so that she was standing over Stella's head Melissa said, "This is you two's last chance to get up, before Bloom and I do something horrible to you!"
Neither of them budged, so Bloom and Sky grabbed one jug, and went to stand over Riven, Melissa and Jeremy got another, and stood over Stella.
"Ready?" Melissa asked.
"Yep. One, two, three!" Jeremy shouted, and with that, they dumped the jugs on Riven and Stella's heads.
"What the heck?!" Stella screamed.
Riven jumped up, grabbed a pillow,, and started hitting Sky with it.
"Pillow fight!" Musa called.
Everyone else grabbed the closest pillow, or other cushiony object, and began fighting.
Somewhere around 10:30 at night their game stopped.
"Hey, Bloom? Why did you put everyone in my and Melissa's room?" Jeremy asked her.
"It was the first thing that came to mind." Bloom replied, with an innocent look on her face.
"And what about your room? Huh?" Melissa whined.
"Ok, THAT was the first thing that came to mind, but, sis, my room is a mess!" Bloom said.
The rest of the group had grown silent, and was looking between Bloom and Melissa.
"What?" The two girls asked, confused.
"Bloom, what did you call Melissa?" Layla asked.
"Mel, I think we had better explain now." Bloom said, looking around the group.
"Oh, I was having so much fun confusing them." Melissa replied.
"We can keep them in the dark..." Then, after receiving many glares, added, "Until morning."
"YAY!!!" Melissa laughed. Then, growing sober said, "We have all been through quite an ordeal, why doesn't everyone go to bed, and come back whenever they get ready in the morning?"
Everyone, except Melissa and Jeremy, left the room.
(With Mel and Jeremy, a while later, in their room)
"Hey, Jeremy?" Melissa whispered from her spot at her desk.
Looking up from his home work, Jeremy said, "Yeah?" 'Why is she so quiet? Mel is never quiet!'
"Do you want to know why my family kicked me out?" Melissa asked.
"If you want to tell me." Jeremy replied.
'Why do I feel so free to talk to him? I didn't even tell Flora or Bloom the reason!' Melissa thought. Then taking a breath she said, "Well, they said that my being on full scholarship in a boarding school that, once I graduate, I will be able to get a job and take care of myself. They sounded like they just said that because they didn't WANT to take care of me." Then she started crying.
Jeremy got up off his chair, and went over next to her, kneeling on the floor, and hugging her, he said, "You don't know that for sure. There isn't always a double meaning to what people say."
"I- I-" Melissa stuttered, "I know, because I have heard it so many times before, I know what I am talking about."
"Ok." Jeremy said, rubbing her back. "During vacations you can stay with my family, and if not, I'm sure someone else in the group would let you stay with them."
"Thanks." Was all she said.
(With Bloom and Sky, at the same time as previous part, in their own dorm room.)
"Bloom, are you going to tell me? Or do I really have to wait 'till morning?" Sky asked.
"Sorry, Babe, but you have to wait, just like everyone else." Bloom replied, feeling sorry for her boyfriend.
(With the entire group, in Jeremy and Melissa's room, again, in the morning.)
"So, are you to going to explain or what?" Brandon asked.
"Fine." Bloom said.
As the two explained, the rest of the group stared in awe.
"Then you lot woke up." Melissa concluded.
"ALL THAT?!?!?!?!" Was the general response from the group.
"Uhhhhh..." Bloom and Melissa just sat there, wondering what they were going to say.
