When I woke up I could breathe, but I had no tail. No one could understand why because Cubby had one, everyone in the whole of Atlantis had one. Except me.

Izzy tried to assure me that it was fine, I could still stay with them, but I didn't want to. I tried for a few days, I met her father and stayed in the palace but everywhere I went people stared. I explained myself to Izzy and said I was sorry but I couldn't stay any longer. She said she understood, so I said goodbye to her and Cubby and went back home.

It wasn't the same without them. It was too quiet. I had Skully, the parrot, to talk to at least, but I missed them. I was unhappy most of the time and when they wrote letters, describing what they had been doing, it just made it worse. I replied normally, but I felt unhappy and excluded most of the time. Little did I know that things were going to change.
