3 YEARS LATER

[An alarm clock starts ringing and a young teenager's hand stops it and we see a young teenage girl getting up from her bed. She touches her hair and looks around, she walks to the bathroom and looks herself at the mirror]

Lanys: (scared) aaahhh!!!

[A voice is heard from outside the bathroom door]

Karl: Are you okay, sis?

[Lanys looks at herself and notices that her body has changed and she answers back to Karl]

Lanys: (confused) Yes...

Karl: Are you sure?

Lanys: (confused) Yes...

Karl: Okay, Ma just placed breakfast on the table, hurry up you don't want to be late for your first day of middle school.

Lanys: (confused) middle school?

30 MINUTES LATER

[Lanys comes out of her bedroom and she looks at Karl which is reading the newspaper, which she notices the date]

Lanys: August 12, 1993?

Karl: Yeah, dummy. Your first day of middle school. You should be excited.

[Lanys sits and grabs a toast and puts it in her mouth]

Karl: You look nervous. Don't be, middle school is when you literally mature, and you never know if you make new friends there.

[Lanys stays quiet and looks at Karl]

Karl: Sis, are you okay?

[Lanys keeps chewing on her toast and nods that she is okay]

Karl: Good, remember to chain up the bicycle when you get there. Middle School is way different than Elementary, you know.

Lanys: (softly) I know.

[Lanys looks at her hands and notices that she's grown. She checks her pockets and she takes out the silver pocket watch and looks at it. After a few moments, she puts it away and looks at Karl]

Lanys: So did you kiss her at prom?

[Karl looks strangely at Lanys]

Karl: Prom? That was three years ago? Are you okay?

[Karl stands up and touches the forehead of Lanys to check if she has a fever]

Karl: You feel normal.

Lanys: Sorry, I was just thinking about your prom.

Karl: Why? You weren't there. And you know what happened.

[Lanys stays quiet and looks at Karl]

Lanys: I just like that story.

Karl: You like that story? What's wrong with you? I almost went to prison, because I punched the principal.

Lanys: (surprised) What????

Karl: Yeah, you forgot that May and I were dancing in the prom and when we were about to kiss...the Principal came out and stopped the Prom because he found marijuana in the girl's bathroom.

Lanys: Yeah, but that wasn't a reason to punch him.

Karl: I was never going to punch him.
