I walked down the boardwalk and leaned over the railing looking over the ocean. I felt completely at peace here. I was so lost in my own thoughts that I didn't even notice when she came to stand next to me.

"It's beautiful, isn't It." she said.

"It is." I looked at her for the first time and realized I had never seen her before. Melanie? What is she doing at my beach?

"My name is Beautiful Song of the Sun. Song for short. Are you new around here or just visiting?" I held out my hand and shook hers. Not my beach. Not my hands. Just a memory…

"Visiting. I was actually looking for some shopping. Got any suggestions?"

"Yea I know a few good places. Got a piece of paper? I'll draw you a map."

"Sure. You're more than welcome to join us if you like. It's just me my brother." Her smile seemed so sincere I had no reason to doubt her. We walked over to her car and she opened the back. I saw a young boy in the back. Jamie. What is….

A swift hand pressed a cloth to my mouth and before I could react I started feeling dizzy. Everything went black.

I jumped awake sitting up on an uncomfortable cot. For a few seconds I had no idea where-or who-I was but then it all came back to me rather quickly. Melanie was at my side instantly.

"Wanda it's alright. Do you know where you are?"

"Yea Mel, I'm fine. It's easier this time. I remember everything. How long was I gone?"

"We only had you in the tank for about two weeks. We wanted to get it done faster this time. The guys aren't even back from the raid yet."

"Oh," Was all I could say. I began having an internal panic attack. What if Ian came back and he didn't know it was me? What if he didn't like this new body? All the what if's were driving me crazy and apparently it was written all over my face.

"Wanda, don't worry." Melanie said placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Everything will be fine. And I really think you're going like this new body!" I could tell that now she was getting excited about this. She started walking over to Doc's desk and grabbed a mirror while talking to me. "It's bigger than the last one as you requested, and to be honest, we kind of look alike now! Jamie and I both decided on this one as soon as we saw you. There is just something so familiar about it that we couldn't refuse! So… here it is" She turned the mirror around, and I was literally in shock. I had striking green eyes with little flecks of hazel in it, my hair was a redish brown with some blonde in it and Mel was totally right about me looking familiar. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but I had plenty of time to do that.

"Is she up yet?" a familiar voice whispered from behind us. "WANDA!!!!" Jamie yelled bouncing into the room and on to the cot. "Wanda, do you like it? I hope you do because I do. You're really pretty. Now you and Mel look like real sisters, which make you my sister too!"

"Yea I guess so Jamie. And I really do love it thank you."

"Well come on Wanda you must be starving! We got muffins today! Lucina made them and they are so delicious! Come on!" Jamie practically dragged me out the door towards the kitchen and to the rest of my family.

Over the next month and a half, life seemed to go back to normal. Freedom and Isaiah took a little while to get used to the fact that it was still me but they started warming up to me and I think they actually like this body better. I was a better jungle gym now that I was taller and stronger.

Instead of being on water duty everyday I was back in the fields again. I loved the fact that I could be useful to my human family.

Since the collapse of the overhang, every night someone had to go stay on watch for the jeep. Seeing their hiding spot in pieces could look like we were discovered. The past week or so Mel and I had taken the night shift. As soon as the sun went down, we packed a couple water bottles and some food and ran out to the small tent we had hidden in the rubble. I loved being able to run again.

Tonight I beat Mel in the race. "Good run." I said collapsing exhausted on a mat. "I definitely missed that. Have I mentioned that I love you for this?" I said motioning towards my new body.

"Ha only a few times" she said sitting next to me. "So think they'll show tonight?"

"I don't know. I hope so. All this waiting is driving me insane."

"You know he'll love you just the same. Plus this body is smoking!" she punched me playfully on the arm.

"Yea ok Mel, whatever you say."

We sat up for a few hours and then I took my turn sleeping. It felt like only a second when Mel was shaking me awake.

"Wanda, Wanda wake up! Look they're coming!"

I opened my eyes and saw a black figure coming towards us. It stopped about 20 yards away, obviously seeing the disaster zone.

Mel jumped up and started running towards the car, waving at me to follow suit.

"Jared! Jared its ok everyone's fine!" Jared jumped out of the car and picked Melanie up spinning her around and kissing her hard on the lips.

"What happened?" Jared asked when they finally stopped making out.

Mel was too out of breath to answer right away and the silence was driving me crazy so I finally found my voice to answer for her. "The cave collapsed right after you left. We aren't sure what caused it but we kept watch for a few weeks and no one on the outside seems to have noticed."

There was a moment of silence that I had been dreading and I could literally hear crickets chirping. Melanie ran to my side and grabbed my hand tight, preparing me for what was next.

"And you are…?" Kyle asked, finally stepping out from the jeep.

I opened my mouth to respond but Mel interrupted me before I could. "Why don't we go move the jeep and then do this inside."

Melanie and I grabbed our camping things and ran back to the caves while they moved the jeep, awaiting what would coming next
