Watching the duo, Ariana felt a mix of shock and amusement. She had never seen the usually stoic Rodney warm up to anyone this quickly.

Then again, Melon had that effect on people, a fact that made Ariana's heart swell.

As the night grew darker, Melon had clearly charmed Rodney. Holding onto Rodney's leg, Melon asked, “Can I have a sleepover in your room?"

Holding back a smile, Ariana responded, "What if you give him those famous flying kicks of yours when you're asleep?"

She was well-aware of Melon's energetic sleep routine.
