[color=662d91]“I can open the door myself,” [/color]said her BFF, giving Melody a quizzical look. She walked through anyway, though, brushing past without giving Melody a second glance.

Oh, okay! Well, Melody could respect that. Independence was a good thing, and her Best-Friend-Forever was a strong, independent woman!

But did that mean that she shouldn’t be polite and stuff? After a second’s consideration, she decided against the idea. She wanted to… to cook homemade meals for her Best-Friend-Forever, and eat cake with her, and all that stuff! After all, wasn't that all part and parcel of having a best friend?

Well, Melody had never really [i]had[/i] a best friend before, but she thought it was.

She had paused for a moment to think about it, and was getting left behind! Her BFF had spoken to an assistant-looking guy –-hadn’t she heard something about Professor Elm’s assistant, once?— and was now sitting a little bit away from everyone.

Well, good. It wasn’t that she didn’t want her best friend to have other friends, it was just… well, she had to thoroughly vet anyone else who’d want to be her friend, right? Obviously there would be a lot, because, well, Melody’s Best-Friend-Forever was just so amazing!

Melody didn’t want anyone too sketchy getting close to her Best-Friend-Forever. She’d have to make sure that they didn’t have any weird ulterior motives… and that they didn’t pose a threat to Melody’s position as best friend.

What? It certainly wouldn’t do if anyone wanted to steal Melody’s Best-Friend-Forever, right? They certainly wouldn’t be as amazing at it as Melody was going to be.

[s]Her fingers twitched towards the switchblade in her pocket. Now wouldn’t be a good time to pull it out, though.[/s]

She hurried in, and took the seat next to her Best-Friend-Forever, smiling adoringly at her. [color=f49ac2]“So, um… I don’t think I ever caught your name,” [/color]she said. [color=f49ac2]“Melody Avery Hemlock, that’s me. What about you?”[/color]

It looked like they hadn’t started giving out Pokemon yet, so… yup. She’d take the chance to get to know her Best-Friend-Forever a little better!
