HIATUS Representative of the Moon Goddess

A Familiar Face in a New Place - Truly Connected

Selene, now fully immersed in her new identity as Sophia Marshall, walked through the bustling courtyard of the Mystic Moon Academy. Her heart was aflutter with the anticipation of the adventures that awaited her in this new chapter of her life. The physical transformation she had undergone had given her a sense of liberation, a brief respite from the weight of being the representative.

However, her newfound disguise didn't hold up for long. In the midst of her contemplation, Selene collided with someone, causing her to instinctively apologize, "Oh, I'm so sorry."

The young man she had bumped into, with a knowing glint in his eyes, responded with a grin. "No need to apologize, Selene."

Selene's heart sank as she realized that her carefully crafted disguise hadn't fooled Oscar, the astute younger brother of the Quadruplets. She straightened up, her façade as Sophia slipping away as easily as a wisp of smoke. "You knew it was me all along?"

Oscar chuckled warmly, his expression radiating understanding. "You can't hide from me, Selene. I've known you for too long."

A gentle smile curved Selene's lips. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised."

Oscar's smile was a comforting presence. "You're still you, no matter what name you go by. Welcome to Mystic Moon Academy."

With that, Selene and Oscar exchanged a knowing look, a silent understanding passing between them. It was a bond forged through years of friendship and the ability to see each other's true selves.

As they began to walk together, Selene decided to open up about her transformation. "I wanted to look different, you know? Just to see how it feels to be someone else for a while."

Oscar nodded, his empathy shining through. "I get it. It's not easy being the representative all the time. This way, you can experience something closer to a normal life."

Selene felt a surge of gratitude for Oscar's unwavering support. "Exactly. Plus, maybe I'll learn how people treat me when they don't know who I am."

Oscar, playing along with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, responded, "Well, Sophia, I hope your experiment goes well."

"Thanks, Oscar," Selene replied with a grin.

As they continued their walk, Oscar helped Selene carry her belongings to her new dorm room. The journey was filled with laughter and stories of their shared past. The small, cozy dorm space that would be Selene's home for the foreseeable future felt welcoming and warm.

At the door of her dorm room, Oscar turned to Selene with a warm smile. "Here you are, Sophia. Your new home at the academy."

Selene felt a wave of gratitude wash over her for having a friend like Oscar. "Thanks, Oscar. I couldn't have done this without you."

Oscar's eyes twinkled with mischief as he replied, "No problem, Sophia. If you ever need any help navigating this place, just let me know."

With a final shared smile, Selene stepped into her new dorm room. Her heart swelled with both excitement and a deep sense of connection. She was prepared to embark on this new chapter of her life, with Oscar as her steadfast friend by her side, someone who knew her for who she truly was, no matter the disguise.

As they parted ways, Selene couldn't help but reflect on how fortunate she was to have Oscar as a friend, someone who saw beyond the surface and into the depths of her soul. With him, she felt the comforting embrace of authenticity and understanding, a rare treasure in a world often filled with facades and pretense.
