As Mary and Phyllis moved further into mall, still dealing with their sudden changes and Mary's seemingly unaccountable enthusiasm, Dr. Nova continued to monitor the entrance. They could adapt to their new relationship or not, so far as he cared. At the entrance they had left behind, science was still happening.
Four teens approached the entrance. Jenny and Katie, best friends since middle school, heading inside to hang out together with their boyfriends, Mark and Tyler. The boys hadn't known each other quite as long as the girls had, but got along well enough. The four of them occupied that middle layer of their high school's social strata, below the cutthroat politicking of the beautiful girls and the posturing and occasional violence of the athletic boys, but also well above the nerds, loners, and the k1ds with intractable skin problems.
They walked into the R.R.R.'s energy field completely unsuspecting of how they were about to be changed.
