As I got closer to the mall, I could see people whispering to themselves and some were talking about other kids that had looked weird. They must be talking about the others, I thought.

When I got to the mall, I saw Darhe'ela and Eric standing by the water fountain.

"Hey there!" I said, walking up to them. At first they looked a bit puzzled at my new higher sounding voice, but then they recognized me.

"What happened to your voice?" Eric asked me.

"What happened to yours?" I asked him back.

"This is really weird..." said Darhe'ela, "I hope Hoshi and the others get here soon."

"Wow," I said noticing Darhe'ela's new apendages, "You've changed quite a bit."

"Hey," said Eric pointing to a girl appraoching us.

"Hi," she said, "My name's Kazumi."
