As Zoe began to feel strange, she glanced down at the new name tag. It said MOLLY STEVENS. She didn't know who Molly Stevens was (Mikey did, as she went to his school), but the person who ran off with her name tag was definitely not a girl. The guy must have stolen more than just Zoe's name tag. Perhaps he thought it would be funny to randomly switch people?
Zoe wasn't laughing.
As her gothic clothes began to change and she began to lose height and age (becoming a 7-year old girl), she watched the guy who stole her name tag. He slapped it onto a middle-aged woman (presumably someone's mother), then grabbed the woman's name tag and ran to someone else across the room.
Zoe wanted to chase after him and try to get back what was hers, but she slowly began to not care. In fact, she actually felt more like playing. Maybe she could find a girl her age to play with until her mommy said she could go.
