"I wish I would be back to my classroom"
With these words Paris around her vanished again and the usual classroom reappeared.
Perhaps it was the first day in her live she was really happy to be here and not in Paris.
She looked down to her German book, while others around her began to giggle.
"Joella, is there a good reason for you to be dressed like Marie Antoinette?" her German teacher Mrs. Müller asked.
"I wonder how you change your clothes so fast..."
While the class started with loud laughter Joella looked down to her and recognized that she made a mistake...
She didn't wish to be herself again.
"Kannst du das erklären?" ["Can you explain this?"] Mrs. Müller asked her while she was still absolutely embarrassed by the situation.
"Ich war in Paris, und sollte geköpft werden. Gerade nachdem Sie mich gebeten hatten diesen Satz selbst zu formulieren. Als mich dann der Henker fragte ob ich letzte Worte habe wünschte ich mir wieder hier zu sein. Deswegen bin ich jetzt wieder hier - als Marie Antoinette"
["I was in Paris and should be beheaded. Just after you begged my to formulate this sentence for myself. As the hangman asked me, whether I have last words, I wished that I would be back here - as Marie Antoinette"]
Joella herself was shocked by the quality of her German. She never expected it to be such as good. Than she reminded that Marie Antoinette was the daughter of empress Maria Theresa of Austria and could therefore understand and speak German natively.
All the others in the class were really shocked by it.
