The next morning I was ready to become a puppet. The gang tried their best to make me one of them. Nothing worked.

"Well. We tried our best." Said Tulio.

"I know you all did." I said.

"I wish there was a way." Said Juanin.

"Yeah. I remember becoming one. It was all because of roses." Said Patana.

"I do too. I became a puppet when I was in the plaza riding a bike." Said Freddy.

"And I became a puppet when I said top a lot." Said Policarpo.

"We all know!!!" Said Mico.

"That's it!" Cried Tulio.

"What's it?" I asked.

"Luna. You need to find the thing that makes you... You." Said Tulio.

"What doe's that mean?" I asked.

"I little something from you're personality. Like a charm or a thing you love most." Explained Carla.

"We can always get help from Marilu." Said Hugo.

"That's not what I meant." Said Carla.

"Oh yeah. Marilu is the greatest scientist." Said Juanin.

"Guys?" Asked Carla.

"Ok, but how do I see her?" I asked.

"I'll take you there." Said Juan Carlos.

"I guess you can take Luna with you." Said Tulio.

"I've been needing to get out there." I said.

"Then it's settled then. Juan Carlos will take Luna to see Marilu." Said Tulio.

"WOO!!!" Squealed everyone.

"I will do my best to get Marilu to help Luna find her inner puppet." Said Juan Carlos.

"When do we go?" I asked.

"We leave tomorrow at dawn." Said Juan Carlos.

"Ok." I said.

"Oh boy. I can probably tell it's not gonna happen." Said Carla to herself.
