May 7th
Just like Mrs. Tao said, the Lunar Wings arrived just before dawn.
They look like Leafeon tails, Zora signed.
*When Zorua is in her human form she is known as Zora.*
Before leaving the bedroom, I told Zorua to transform into her human disguise; this time without her looking like she's wearing a Zorua costume. I'm wearing torn jeans and a purple t-shirt with my hair undone and my bracelet hidden under my wrist guards.
Mrs. Tao phoned the school yesterday, telling them about me and Zora. Here's the story:
Mrs. Tao has been teaching/tutoring a homeschooled student whose parents are constantly traveling. When she spoke to me and my parents, via video chat, about the opportunity for me to come to New World Island and enter the Island Relay, I grabbed it with both hands. But the condition was that I had to take my little sister, who can't speak, with me too. Our parents are currently in Kalos right now and won't be here until after the Island Relay is over. Just before we got here, our mom gave me a Shiny Zorua she got from one of the Pokemon Breeders. We arrived on New World Island on Friday. But because we weren't able to find Mrs. Tao, we spent Saturday night and almost all of yesterday camping in the woods until Officer Jenny found us and brought us to her house.
That last part is technically true and I believe that when telling a lie or a story, it's better to end it with a truth to anchor down everything else.
"These Lunar Wings," Mrs. Tao began, "are from Canalave City in the Sinnoh region." She held up her hand when I was about to ask if she knew about the Lunar Wing Scam they had. "Yes, I am aware of the scam they had a few years ago. And I assure you these Lunar Wings are genuine."
Zora took one out of the box and sniffed it. I've smelled a lot of Bird Pokemon before, but I've never smelled a Bird Pokemon like this.
"These Lunar Wings come from a Pokemon called Cresselia and her feathers have the power to banish nightmares," Mrs. Tao told her. "Also, don't sniff things like that. People will start to wonder about you."
"I can say that you're playing around or trying to embarrass me. But if Kontororu sees you doing that, he's sure to think you're not human," I added.
Zora nodded her head and put the Lunar Wing back in the box. Mrs. Tao resealed the box and brought it, and the others, out to her car with us following behind.
The ride to school was spent going over questions someone might ask us, plus avoiding Kontororu as much as possible. If we're unable to do that, we are to tell him as little about ourselves as possible and next to nothing about "Jenna."
We got to the school just as the doors were being unlocked; we had dropped off one of the boxes at the Pokemon Center and another one at the police station. There were a total of seven boxes in all and five were for the school. Also, since the school is entering the Island Relay, the normal class schedule was replaced with relay tryouts and final exams so no one had to wear their school uniforms. Every buddy at school, save the teachers and Mrs. Tao, wore t-shirts, jeans, shorts, or skirts.
