After defeating the latest monster, Eddie explored the ship aimlessly. He wandered around with no specific purpose, just happy to have his father back. He then thought about what the Cabal would do next, but then decided to stop thinking about it. The group, especially Fiona, needed a break. He was debating whether to check on Fiona when he heard a loud CRASH!
He ran over to the noise and saw smoke coming from Melody's room. Fearing the worse, he ran inside...and saw Melody, soot-faced, grinning maniacally over a steaming cauldron.
"Melody..." Eddie asked fearfully, "What are you doing?"
"Hm?" Melody looked at him, still grinning. "Oh! You heard that noise! I was just experimenting." She drew herself up proudly. " Witches in Merveille Village make potions all the time, so I thought I should make one. Hey!" She said, suddenly inspired. "How about you try my potion, Eddie?" She said eagerly. Eddie hesitated. He was fond of Melody, and thought she was a good witch. But trying a potion from her was bound to end in disaster. But he knew that if he didn't, she would unleash her horrible temper and slap him. He debated for a bit, and then decided he'd rather drink the potion than be slapped like Pad.
"Okay," Eddie said reluctantly, "I'll try your potion."
"Yay!" Melody clapped excitedly. She grabbed a goblet from the table and poured a generous amount inside. She handed it to Eddie. Eddie looked at the goblet. The substance was pink and smelled like lavender, but Eddie wasn't comforted.
"Take a swig already!" Melody said impatiently. Eddie glared at her for a moment. He then raised the goblet to his lips and took a swig...POOF! A cloud of white dust enveloped Eddie, making Melody cough. Pad and Fiona ran into the room.
"What's happenin'?!" Pad said, panicked. "Are we under attack?"
"No," said a feminine voice. "Melody just wanted me to try her potion." A girl wearing a red jacket stumbled from the smoke cloud. Coughing, she said, "I don't think it worked."
"Eddie?" Fiona asked in a tone of wonderment, "Is that you?" The girl looked at her as though she was crazy.
"Of course I'm Eddie!" She cried. "Who else could I be?" Melody coughed. The girl looked at her.
"What?" Pad silently found a mirror and handed it to the girl.
"Why are you giving me-" she stopped abruptly when she looked at her reflection.
And then she screamed.
