As Illyria walked down the hallway as Fred, she noticed people staring at her. Some where saying, "Is that who I think she is?" Others where saying, "I thought she died" Illyria didn't pay much attention to theme because she knew it would be confusing to explain to people that she's Fred and she's not. But the only reason she made herself look like Fred is because of Mr. and Mrs. Burkle's reaction if they find out that their daughter had died. Illyria can sense Fred's parents near by because Fred had a strong connection with her parents so she knew it would be useful. As soon as she made it to Wesley's office door, Illyria heard a voice within.

When there's no one else, Look inside yourself

Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within

Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way

You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within

That voice was Fred. Illyria looks around cocks her head because she doesn't understand where that voice came from. She heard it again,

"Illyria" This time, she notices it was Fred's voice within. She touched herself and said, "The shell is echoing" "Illyria, please tell my parents I love them and that I will always watch over them" said Fred. Illyria got confused for a while and says; "As you wish…Fred" She turned her attention to Wesley's office door preparing to meet Fred's parents.

Young girl don't cry, I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
