"Ugh..." I groan as I wake up in my bed.

"Morning," Aquarius says, "Are you all right?"

I sit up and say, "Ophiuca and Crown! Where are they?"

"They went back to FM," Aquarius says, "you turned into your Primal Forme last night, so they left. Everything's returning to normal in Echo Ridge."

"Phew," I say, then say, "Mega! Where is he?"

"Right here," Aquarius says, gesturing to Omega-Xis, who's in the CopyRoid asleep.

"What...what's he doing?" I ask.

"I managed to separate you both and place him into the CopyRoid," Aquarius says, "but I need to tell you about Primal Forme."

--------------------------------------------------

A few minutes later, I am filled in on Primal Forme.

Omega-Xis woke up halfway through the lecture, but he said he already knew what Primal Forme was.

"We have to go," I say, standing up, "Today's school."

Omega-Xis rolls his eyes and says, "Oh, yeah, forgot. Now I'm 'Morgan' today. Great."

"Don't get huffy with me," I say, "Mom and Dad did it, not me. You'll have to get books when you arrive."

"Whatever," Omega-Xis says.

-------------------------------------------------

"We have two new students today," Ms. Tynowa says, "Morgan Jakobs, and Delilah Crown."

Everyone applauds when they hear the name of Delilah Crown.

She's a multi-millionaire, who has a large inheritance to claim when she turns eighteen. Everyone knows her.

"Morgan is Layla Woods' cousin," Ms. Tynowa continues, "his parents recently died, and they left Morgan with Layla's family. Deliliah is the inheritor of millions of Zennys and many expensive sapphires. Morgan, why don't you sit next to your cousin? Delilah, I would feel best if you sat near the window."

Omega-Xis and Delilah sit in their assigned seats.

"The books and programs we're using are in the desks," Ms. Tynowa says, "Today, we're going to do a course on a subject I should've known about: EM wave aliens."

Whispers abound, and Omega-Xis gives me a desperate look.

Uh-oh. This isn't good.

"As you all remember," Ms. Tynowa says, "the news reported that us teachers were captured by an alien known as an FM-ian, who'd taken over one of our students. This is true."

One student raises their hand.

"Yes, Derek?" Ms. Tynowa says.

"What about MegaGirl?" Derek asks.

Derek was the most popular boy in school, but was a cheater as well. He'll fall for anything female. Right now, he's obssessed with MegaGirl.

"We don't know about MegaGirl," Ms. Tynowa says, "but if we did, I bet she would be a hero."

"Yeah, but she wouldn't go out with you!" a voice shouts.

"Petra, no shouting in class," Ms. Tynowa scolds as everyone in the class laughs.

Petra was my former enemy, but she's now a good friend of mine. I rescued her from Taurus as MegaGirl.

Omega-Xis raises his hand, and I look at him like he's crazy.

"Oh, Morgan?" Ms. Tynowa says.

"Was there any evidence of other types of aliens?" Omega-Xis asks.

"No, not that I know," Ms. Tynowa says, "but thank you for asking."

Omega-Xis nods and winks at me.

As long as they believe that MegaGirl is related to the FM-ians, they'll be forced to think that they're like humans.

-------------------------------------------

The bell rings for lunch.

"That was a boring lesson," Omega-Xis says as we head to a table, "The woman didn't know a thing!"

"At least you only asked a few questions," I say, "I thought you were going to insult each teachers' intelligence."

"I would if I could," Omega-Xis says, "but I decided that I would be a brat on my first day. Oh, and it looks like that Derek kid's asking about MegaGirl every chance he gets."

I sigh as we sit down, saying, "Yeah, I noticed. Derek's becoming really annoying nowadays."

I notice Petra walking towards our table with a bunch of other girls.

"Mega," I say, "be careful."
