"Yuma, what are you doing?" I ask.
"Figuring out somethin'." he mumbles. His hands are busy holding the Emperor's Key. One can only guess what he is up to.
"What are you trying to figure out?" I ask.
"Just— ah, here we go!" Yuma stands up, wearing a triumphant grin.
But I know better. He is planning something. And I have the suspicious feeling that it involves me.
"Hold still, Astral." Yuma tells me.
"What are you planning?" I say guardedly.
"No questions. Just trust me— this is gonna be great!"
He holds up the Key, pointing it directly at me.
"I don't think—" Zap!
A brief flash of light surrounds me. It fades away in less than a second. I feel very…odd.
Yuma has an even wider smile, if that is possible. "It worked perfectly!" he crows.
"What did you do?" I ask nervously.
He hands me a handheld mirror. "See for yourself!"
I can actually see my face, although it looks very, very different.
In fact, it looks human.
"What did you do?" I repeat.
"To be completely honest, I have no idea. I just thought that if I messed around with the Key, I could turn you into a human. And I was right!"
Despite my bewilderment, I'm impressed. I never thought that Yuma could find a way to use the Key like that.
"Now that is has worked," I say, "can you change me back?"
"Uh, about that…" Yuma's grin is replaced with a frown. "I don't exactly know how to…"
What?!
He brightens up again. "…Which means you'll have to go to school with me tomorrow!"
WHAT?!
My sister came up with the idea of using the Key to turn Astral into a human! :) Genius~
