Chapter 109 Wayne

• "It's easy to think of Jack as just another Vin-Ta. But he isn't. Jack turned into a stuffed teddy bear when he was a year old." That was news to me! My parents certainly never mentioned it. Then I realized they wanted everyone, including me to think I was a normal Vin-Ta. That way, no one would try to kidnap me. "We can't risk our grandbabies doing that around humans. Jack, only Dave has seen you shift into a different person. Will you give a little demonstration for the rest of us? Try to change your face. Deliberately. I know you've never tried, but it should actually be easier when you try."
• I frowned. "I'll try." I looked at Daddy and then at Lisa. Then I closed my eyes and imagined what I would look like if Lisa and Daddy were my parents. I pictured my face like Daddy's, but with Lisa's eyes and mouth. I wasn't sure if I needed to 'wish' for it, as I did to get pregnant, but I did it anyway. I felt something happen, and after a few seconds, I opened my eyes. Everyone was staring at me.
• "Oh!" Lisa said.
