Melanie hadn’t more yellow-pink after that. The meeting with Dr. Codey ended quickly after that last question, and Melanie was just able to catch Roya at their treehouse after she had gone up to her room and snuck out the window. She ran ten minutes into the forest, and she could hear Roya quietly humming a sweet song in the treehouse, waiting for Melanie. Melanie wanted to just stand there; listening to Roya hum. Her voice was soft and flowing water. It was the scent of flowers and a calm breeze on a warm spring day. It was white and pink-green, yet held so much blue in it at the same time. Melanie loved it. But she climbed up the ladder to their treehouse anyways. She and Roya found this place about a year ago, when they met for the first time. Melanie had gotten in trouble, and not for drawing all over her older cousin’s walls. Her mother got red-black. Her voice and expressions were filled with purple-black, and Melanie couldn’t stand it. She ran. She ran so quickly and so far, she’d thought she had run away from her house for good. But when she turned back, she bumped into Roya. They walked and talked
for a bit, and Melanie felt an instant connection to her. It was as if she understood everything that Melanie was going through, and when they found the treehouseabandoned and blue-black- they had taken it for themselves. It had been their run-away spot for months after that. It was the place where they could go when they needed something to look forward to, when they felt alone and blue-black. All of this raced through Melanie’s mind as she climbed the ladder to the treehouse. Once she was inside, she immediately spotted Roya, sitting in her usual corner in the back, a small silver object in her hand. Roya heard the creak of wood and flicked her sky blue eyes up to meet Melanie’s. She smiled brightly at Melanie, her posture immediately straightening at the sight of her best friend. “I thought you weren’t going to come,” she said, smiling still as Melanie sat down in front of her. Melanie sighed and shrugged her shoulders. “I thought I wasn’t going to make it. I had a meeting with Dr. Codey,” Melanie responded, and the yellow-pink smile on Roya’s face immediately dropped. Her

eyes darkened to a sapphire blue and amethyst purple. She bit her bottom lip and looked down at the object in her hand. With a closer look at it, Melanie could see that it was a small pocket knife. She looked back up at Roya, who shrugged her shoulders and slipped the blade into her light red sweater pocket. “We’ll need it for something.” Melanie didn’t question what that meant; she honestly, kind of didn’t want to know. So she just nodded her head and looked around their treehouse. It was yellow-purple; just a light brown wood and a few dents and peeling wood here and there. It wasn’t anything incredible, but it was so red to Melanie at the same time. She felt a deep connection with the treehouse and had since the first time she laid her eyes on it. It was different. It was...special, as normal people would say. “Well, he’s not any worse than Dr. Harris,” Melanie pointed out, and Roya groaned. “God, she was the worst. All she did was give you sleeping pills and lollipops,” Roya added, and Melanie laughed, though knew that that was true. Dr. Harris didn’t do much for Melanie. She would listen to her talk, but never encourage her to keep thinking deeply unlike Dr. Codey did. And Melanie liked that. She loved....

Aries
Horoscope
MARCH 21 - April 20 Aries have ram-like eyebrows and smug expressions. They should not be quite so smug because they are constantly clunking themselves in the skull. Aries rarely say one thing and do another. They usually do the wrong thing and don’t discuss it. Never point this out to an Aries unless you want your kidneys pulled out through your sinuses. Aries folks love Pisceans because Pisces people make them feel well-grounded. Aries love to laugh at the funny moon-people who suck their thumbs at age 35. Aries use guns to describe philosophical concepts. Whether you live in a palatial estate or a cardboard tepee, you will insist until death that it is exactly what you always wanted. Most Aries were concrete parking bumpers in at least two of their past lives. Aries are never born. They skip gaily
from their mothers’ wombs. This may even involve rollerblades. The Aries makes life decisions as a toddler. Aries marry several times for funnies but never divorce. Their spouses have many freak accidents resulting in death or crippling injury. Aries always hold management positions. If one is assigned to clean toilets, he will form a one-man union. Then he will go and picket in the parking lot. People run away when an Aries comes around. They know that if they do not, the Aries will set them on fire. Aries hate listening to Scorpios talk because they take pride in being even more self-centered. In fact, much to the Scorpios’ dismay, you are the biggest pricks in the zodiac. Your rams’ horns are in everyone else’s asses.
