(Author's Note: It is morning, not afternoon. Making a change to accommodate that. Some of this is based on chickenchaos's branch, but I wanted to take a slightly different tact to Jay.)
Yuki Meshida was walking to school when she nearly bumped into a woman who seemed to be in quite a hurry. Not once did she think that the woman was someone she recognized, even though only an hour before, she was Yuki's mother.
Not far off, Jay had resumed his trek down the street, lost once again in thought. He had always been a heavy thinker, but now he found himself much more aware of the world around him. He was watching everything, looking for inspiration for a song he was working on.
Jay's body was changing just like every other person under the wave of changes, his lanky build becoming more feminine and willowy. His hair had darkened to black, growing long and straight with a heavy fringe that formed a point at the center of his forehead.
The extensive knowledge of various trivia and other such 'geeky' knowledge had shifted somewhat, taking a more morbid turn. The new Jay was almost totally disinterested in science, as the old one had been, except for some parts of biology.
He stopped suddenly as someone passed him, and paused, intrigued. The stranger was wearing the most boring conservative looking clothes he'd seen, despite being fairly young. Something about them...Jay had the feeling that there was a wild person waiting to be released from the boring package.
He wondered if, with the band close to getting a permanent gig, and needing to practice, if he should be taking on such a project. It hadn't been the first time. Laura might be the leader of the band, but he'd been the one who'd found their singer.
