Anna was totally unaware that Kylie was following her. She made her way down to the lakeside and was pleased to see no one else about. After a last glance around she knocked on the boat shed door and called out quietly "Mark. It's me. Let me in"
A few seconds later she heard the latch turn and the door opened. She quickly stepped inside and closed the behind her. She then turned to face the hamster girl who had let her in.
"I see you survived the night. I hope it wasn't too cold for you" She gave Mark a cuddle, feeling the soft fur against her skin.
"Not at all. I was too hot if anything. It's amazing how insulating fur is"
"So I have the medallion and some shoes to change you with. We just have to wait a few more minutes"
"So who am I going to be?"
"A tall redheaded girl. She was the closest to Jennifer I could find. I told them Jennifer was a blonde so if anyone asks you have just reverted to your natural colour"
"Not anyone you know?"
"I have never seen the girl before.
I just hope she has nothing to do with the camp. To be safe though it's probably best if 'Jennifer' doesn't venture into town"
"I have to admit that I'm looking forward to being human again"
"Even if you are a girl?"
"It has to be better than being a giant hamster".
Anna was keeping an eye on the time. "Two more minutes. Then you should be able to change. Here's the medallion. I put it into a ziplock bag to avoid any more accidents. Take the medallion out and touch it to these shoes. Just be careful not to touch anything else"
Mark waited the last couple of minutes, wondering what he would look like. Anna had not described the redhead very well. Would he have long hair or short? Would he be pretty? He hoped so. Finally Anna said "It's time"
Mark wasted no more time. He removed the medallion from the plastc bag and touched it to the relatively ordinary looking shoes. He felt a shock of static electricity and flinched.
"Did you just get zapped?" Anna asked. Then after the hamster girl nodded. "That's a good sign"
Just then the pair were disturbed by a knock on the door. Anna recognised Kylie's voice immediately "Anna let me in. I know you are in there. What are you hiding?"
