The next morning, Selene couldn't contain her excitement. The new day held a sense of anticipation she hadn't felt in a long time. The conversation with the Moon Goddess and the revelation of her newfound ability had ignited a spark within her. As she made her way downstairs, she couldn't wait to share her decision with her family.

In the cozy kitchen of their family home, Diana was busy preparing breakfast. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon filled the air. Matthew and Eric were sitting at the table, deep in conversation. Daphne, elegant as always, was sipping her tea and reading a book by the window.

As Selene entered, they all turned their attention to her, sensing something different in her demeanor.

"Good morning, everyone," Selene greeted them with a bright smile.

"Morning, sweetheart," Diana replied, setting a plate of pancakes in front of Matthew.

Eric nodded, his eyes filled with curiosity. "You seem particularly cheerful today, Selene. What's on your mind?"

Selene took a deep breath, her heart pounding with excitement and a touch of nervousness. "I had a dream last night, and I had a conversation with the Moon Goddess. She offered me a choice, and I've decided to take it."

The room fell into a hushed silence as everyone leaned in, eager to hear what Selene had to say.

"I've been given the ability to change my appearance," Selene continued, her voice filled with determination. "I can look like anyone I want, like a normal girl, and not the representative. I want to experience what it's like to be just an ordinary teenager, to go to school without the weight of my role."

Matthew exchanged a glance with Eric, his expression thoughtful. "That's a big decision, Selene. Are you sure about this?"

Selene nodded. "I am. I want to see how people treat me for who I am, not for my position. I've chosen a name for my 'normal' look, Sophia Marshall."

Diana smiled warmly. "Sophia Marshall, it's a beautiful name."

Daphne closed her book and placed it on the table. "Selene, your family supports you no matter what. We understand your desire to explore life beyond your role as the representative."

Eric reached across the table, placing a reassuring hand on Selene's. "We've always believed in your ability to make choices that are right for you. This is your journey, Selene. We'll stand by you every step of the way."

Selene felt a surge of gratitude for her family's understanding and support. She knew that not every representative had this luxury, and she cherished it deeply.

"Thank you, all of you," Selene said, her voice filled with emotion. "I promise I won't let this change who I am. I'll always be Selene Moore to you."

Matthew chuckled. "And Sophia Marshall to the rest of the world."

As they continued to enjoy breakfast together, Selene couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and hope for the future. She was embarking on a new path, one that would allow her to experience life in a way she had always longed for. With her family's unwavering support and the Moon Goddess's blessing, she knew that this journey would be filled with discoveries, challenges, and the chance to be, even if just for a while, an ordinary teenager named Sophia Marshall.
