It was to weird and I didn't want to be around my parents if anything else happened. So I told my mom I was going to meet a friend and it wasn't a complete lie. I put on a hat and uncomfortably tucked my tail into my pants. I needed to find the girl that I helped. Luckily my mom told me where her house is and it's not to far away. I decided to walk instead of take my bike, just in case anything else happened. I'm glad I didn't take my bike because when I got to her yard I shrunk to cat size. Luckily for me she had a cat door, so I slipped inside and quietly looked around until I found her room. At least I think it was her room. 

It had blue walls, a light green carpet, a bed with lots of stuffed animals, posters of cats, bunnies, and other animals. There was also a desk with lots of jars, books, science stuff, and some things about alchemy. I think I couldn't see the desk to well. I decided to wait on the floor next to the bed until she came to her room. I was scared when I heard very loud footsteps coming and then I got fur, paws, and whiskers. Then I was lifted in the air by a glowing ball of light and set down gently. I was completely cat now. At least I could still see color. Wait, can I still talk or can I only meow?! What about my mom how do I explain? What about school? 

Then I was snapped out of my thoughts as she entered her room. At least I was right about it being her room. "Hi little kitty, how did you get in here? It's okay, you can meow to me I understand cat."

I tried to talk and I was right I could only meow. So I meowed a "hello" and told her that we knew each other. We met at school. How I actually became a cat, and as I finished telling her the final cat thing came, she moved her hands a little as it happened. Then color faded I was pure cat. Now it was her turn to talk.

She blushed a little, as she talked to me. "Um... It's kinda my fault your a cat. I was practicing magic my parents had taught me before we came, you see my dad is a fairy who wished for height and no wings. My dad gave my mom magic, and I inherited magic. My dad was teaching me a magic to turn people into a cat. I'm really sorry." she said as she started crying and then continued. " My dad said there's no way to completely undo the magic. I would if I could, but I can make it so that your family doesn't know but you might have to be away from them for a year or more."

I said "okay" though I felt uneasy about it. Then we made a plan. I was going to enroll as a four year foreign exchange student and since she hadn't actually enrolled to our school yet she would take my place as the foreign exchange student and bring me along as her pet. She had her father hold the magic to let me be human I told them it was leaving tomorrow and I had to pack. When I got to my room her father lifted the spell and I actually did pack. I put a beret from one of my dolls in. All of my art stuff. Stuffed animals and their clothes. Some of the clothes actually fit me. My favorite items, and a few other things. 

In the morning I felt my new friends father put his spell back on me. I picked up my slightly large bag and told my parents I had to go and I would miss them so much. I went to her house walked into her room set my bag on her bed. Then the magic was lifted and I was a cat again. I finally learned my friends name was Aliana. Oh, my name? I'ts Faye. I know silly name.

Anyway she carried my bag and her suitcase. My eyes went wide as I saw what else she had. A pet carrier! I know I'm a cat now but still. She hadn't told her mom about the whole thing yet and just said she was taking a stray, and her mom is the one who got the carrier ready. So there was a bed in the back, the whole thing had newspaper over the bottom, there was a small bowl of water, and a bowl of cat food. Aliana apologized and put in a bowl of strawberries because I told her I liked them. She also said I had to eat the strawberries first because they can mold. Then she set me in, locked the door, and put me in the back seat of the car. 

We rode to the airport and found the person in charge of the foreign exchange program where we learned we were going to Paris! I was so excited I always wanted to go to Paris. Not as a cat though.  She had to check me in to the baggage thing and I was put in the storage area. At least my bag was a carry on and so was her suitcase.

I was the only pet that flight and it was dark, lonely, and noisy because I was the first thing put in they decided to put me next to the engine. It was a long flight and I ran out my small strawberry bowl in only a few hours. I stayed awake until I could hear the whisper of the flight attendant say we would be there shortly and then I went to sleep.
