"I ... I don't know," Lilly answered.
"This is the boys locker room," the teenage boy said. "And besides that ... what are you? Eight, nine?"
"Ten," she said.
"Shouldn't you be getting to school by now? Why are you at the high school?"
"Is that where I am?"
The teenage boy could see that this girl really didn't know what was happening. She seemed bewildered and obviously lost. He felt that it was his duty to help her out. But first ...
"I think you should take those gym clothes off and put your own clothes back on," he said, now noticing that the pile of clothes on the floor looked like a ballet leotard. Was this girl a ballet dancer? "Uh ... I'll leave to give you some privacy."
When he was gone, Lilly took off the gym clothes (a boy's T-shirt and shorts), then put her original clothing back on.
Meanwhile, outside the school, the third period PE class was doing laps around the track, when suddenly, one of the boys (Tim Brant, a friend of Jon, in a previous reality) stopped, turned, then began jogging in a different direction. No one even noticed that he had left.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? And ... is that my wife's clothing? Explain yourself," the man demanded.
Tiffany wasn't sure who this man was, or where she was, or whose clothes she was wearing, but one thing was for certain - whoever owned these clothes must have been one of the biggest prudes around. The blouse was unflattering and seemed to be designed to cover almost everything. And the skirt went all the way down to her ankles. The shoes were flats. No heel at all.
"I ... I can't," she said. "The last thing I remembered was being at school."
"It sounds like you were possessed," the man said, becoming alarmed.
"Possessed? Are you serious? I don't think that's possible."
"Oh, believe me. Things like that can happen." He paused, then said "I think I should take you to my church. I think they can help you there."
"Church? No, I'm not really all that religious. Plus, I need to get back to school. My friend Sarah ..."
"No, this is more important than school. We're talking about your soul here. Now come," he said, gesturing for her to come with him.
Tiffany didn't want to go, obviously, but wasn't sure she could get away from this guy. In her opinion, he was kind of off his rocker. Who knew what this guy would do if she tried to run?

Meanwhile, 42-year old Laura Ferguson was downstairs in the living room, reading the Bible, when suddenly, she dropped the "good book" and headed out of the house, totally in a trance.
