Lucy had just wondered off from the group promising she'd be back soon. I hope she stays true to that, it's such a big city. It felt so good to be human again! To be able to stretch my long arms the way I wanted to and to wiggle my toes inside my shoes- it was nice. I looked around our little group to see what everyone was up to. Sky looked completely exhausted, she must not be used to all this walking. Zero was quiet and secluded, I wondered what he may be thinking. And then Ariel was gazing down the street the direction Lucy had gone. I could tell she was a bit concerned for her, so with my new found confidence from being able to change back I went up to her and asked, "Do you want me to tail her in case she runs into trouble?"

Ariel turned toward me with a smile on her face, "Yeah, that might be a good idea." I nodded and began walking down the street. When I rounded the corner she had turned down I saw before me a large array of stores she could have gone in. I sighed and thought to myself, "If I were Lucy, which store would I go in?" I glanced at all the shops and saw a book store. That had to be it, I mean she loves books. I walked in the store and looked all around but didn't see her anywhere. Just then the clerk behind the cash register asked me, "Can I help you find something?" I turned to him and asked quietly, "Have you seen a young girl with white hair and glasses in here in the past few minutes?" The man shook his head, "Sorry Miss, I haven't. Have you tried the other book store down the street?" "No I haven't," I replied, "thank you!"

I walked out the door and realized I had no idea where I was or which way I had come from. I should've seen it coming, but I was lost.
