That night, a few minutes before the break of dawn, I sneak into Layla's dad's lab.

What was that? You thought that I wouldn't use the CopyRoid because Layla said that I would go shopping with her?

Well, it's true that I don't like shopping, but it'll be worth it if this CopyRoid works.

I immediately notice the white mass that's the CopyRoid.

Well, this is a lot easier than I thought.

I go closer to the CopyRoid until I'm face-to-face with it.

I wonder if I'll look like me when I go in, or end up looking like…a human.

I shake my head and say, "I can't give up now! I'm going in!"

I enter the CopyRoid and end up in darkness for a few seconds.

When I can see again, I find myself looking from the CopyRoid's point of view.

I look at my hands.

Pale, fleshy, human hands lie open in front of my eyes.

I…I'm human!

I walk to the mirror I passed on the way to the lab.

A human with shoulder-length blue and green hair stares at me from the mirror, his outfit simple: a shirt and jeans.

I turn my head.

To my shock, the human in the mirror turns its head as well.

I touch my hair.

I turned into a human! Wait until Layla sees this! Or…or Aquarius…he's staying here, since Layla's parents don't know what to do with him…

I walk through the house and into Layla's bedroom.

The sun's rising by now, allowing me light to see Layla.

She looks almost peaceful asleep, her hair messed up and her mouth curved into a small smile.

I sit on the edge of her bed and whisper, "Good morning, Layla."

Layla stirs and blinks her eyes.

"Night, weird random kid," Layla says, closing her eyes again.

After a moment, Layla sits up and says, "Weird random kid?"

I chuckle and say, "That was priceless, Layla."

Layla blinks and says, "M…Mega? Omega-Xis, did you go into the CopyRoid?"

"I can see you're awake now," I say, "and yes, I did."

Layla tosses a pillow at me and says, "Catch, then."

I catch the pillow and say, "What? No fulfillment of the threat?"

"It's too early, Mega." Layla says with a fake yawn, "Whitney and I have planned to go shopping today, though. You, then, will carry our bags."

"Fine by me!" I say, "I'm wanting to try this out more!"
