Aaron thought hard looking at the sentence in front of him. After going over each word, he was able to settle on a single one.
He decided on “peers." since it was the only one that directly addressed him. If his fellow students weren’t at the speech, then he wouldn't have to be their either.
Except, what could "peers" be changed to?
That's when he heard Jennifer’s voice echo out of the gym. “And I know some you may be angry with your parents. That you think that they left you here 'alone' without all 10-20 of your servants. Make the most of this 'alone' time since it will prepare for college without servants! Just know you're not 'alone'...”
Aaron thanked Jennifer. He replaced “peers” with “alone.” If the only people in the gym were the teachers and Jennifer, he’d be in no trouble at all. He confirmed the change.
The gym was still crowded, but the crowd looked different. Jennifer’s mouth was no longer moving, but he could still hear her.
In his head, Jennifer continued her speech but now it was in Japanese which he now understood, "As the second batch of Tanaka kunoichi, our clan's scientists created us to with a perfect genetic makeup allowing us to speak to one another's minds directly. Thus, we will infiltrate deep into America and the other countries of the world without a speaking a single sound of our plan.
Aaron couldn't believe what he was hearing. He looked down and saw he was wearing an identical uniform to Jennifer's. His toned legs emerging from his skirt. He now wore slippers with thigh high black socks.
Jennifer concluded with a haunting remark, “The future belongs to us of the Tanaka clan!”
The students rose simultaneously and exited in perfectly neat lines.
He looked down at his phone to see his critical error. The change he had made to the sentence was not "alone", but it had been changed to "clones".
He felt a hand on his shoulder. Two older looking Jennifers dressed in shrine maiden outfits one grabbed each of his arms and the other grabbed his phone. They looked at him crossly for a moment, before in his head he heard, “Jennifer-281 where did you get that phone? We didn’t feel you in there with your sisters. Is something wrong? We will take you the spirit room to be readjusted and join back with the collective.” He was dragged down the hallway, then outside towards a temple he had never seen before.
