Because she understood Lily, Kelly realized she now had the ability to talk to animals. But had she has completely forgotten her English language and could now only speak as if she were an animal? Hopefully, Katie could still understand her. But that brought her back to her question.
Would Katie want to take advantage of my diminished form?
Kelly made her way to her room.
Well, Katie's room now, she thought glumly.
Kelly climbed onto the bed and tried to wake Katie up. But yelling into her ear didn't work.
Kelly had forgotten that Katie slept like a rock! Being in the body of a very light sleeper didn't seem to have changed that. Kelly tried every possible method she could think of. Not even doing a pawstand on her nose while chattering and holding an apple with her back paws worked.
Kelly was getting used to this new body pretty quickly.
Maybe this wasn't so bad after all, she thought.
"No," Kelly said aloud, expelling the thought from her brain.
Suddenly, she had an idea! This always worked on Katie.
Why didn't I think of it before? Kelly thought.
"Katie, your secret stash of acorns has been discovered, " she whispered into Katie's ear.
Kelly hoped that Katie could still understand her.
