..." When the magic changes us, everything else changes too. People'smemories. Birth records. Old photos. Only the girl being turned and theone turnin... her remember."I began getting glimpses of memories that went with my new body. I knew Iwas 8 and my name really was Jasmine. I knew my dad was now a black man,hence my skin color. I knew I'd been taking ballet lessons. I had memoriesof playing with dolls and of doing my nails. I remembered taking swimminglessons wearing a purple bikini."Jasmine,. “What she is now–that’s a question. But I do know I got a call.” “Ohh yess. She was legitimately one of your charges, if only for a moment. You arrived and found her there some hours later. That she was no longer dead–ah, technically dead, is immaterial.

If that’s all you’ve got on me, shut. . Just please can we wait for everyone to gethere."She glanced at me and Sam and then Brett who nodded. He told her,"Yeah it's nothing you'd ever expect Rachel..."She looked shocked, "Brett you know? How do you know?"At Brett's blank stare I spoke up, "He dropped Sam off at the hospitalthat Sunday when I was still there... He kinda saw them sticking outof the gown..."Brett blinked and mumbled, "Yeah... That's how I found out..."Sam came up beside me and put her arm around me and told Rachel,. . that's got to be Renee's. After nine amazing years with her, I'd recognize her laughter anywhere.'As his ears made an exerted effort to sort hers from the other sounds filtering across the room, he realized, 'It's been sooo long since I've heard her wonderful voice.'Memories surfaced that hadn't been conjured up since that day and he pondered, 'What has it been, a couple of years? Yeah ... that long.'Suddenly, for the first time in ages, his heart came alive as his pulse danced in excitement.
