Yeah...new girl," Mikey said. "Real new," he said, a slightly sour expression on his face.
"Reminds me a bit of Zoe," Zelda said. "I mean...she even looks a bit like Zoe..."
"Not her," Mikey said.
"Sorry...Zoe is a friend of ours...but she wouldn't be caught dead in that color." Zelda said. "I'm Zelda..." She said, sizing the figure in front of her up. There was definitely something about the new girl that seemed off.
"I'm..."
"Maddy," Athena said.
Mikey shot Athena a look. Maddy? But at least Athena hadn't told Zelda so yet another person would treat him like a little kid. "New girl is fine," he muttered.
"...I think the mall is kind of done today."
"Well, either we go back to the house or...we could crash the McMillan's party," Simon said.
"Why would you want to do that?" Zoe asked. "Also, we were kind of invited...I'm not sure that's crashing."
"Because if we're all this mixed up...what happened to them?" Simon pointed out.
"You sound like Athena," Zoe pointed out. Things had felt comfortable...but it kept getting weird...which was an odd thing to say when everything had gotten weird.
"And you two are...you are dating now, right?" Simon asked.
"It...we haven't really defined it, but...I guess..." Zoe said.
"Just...make sure to leave some time for your friends," Simon said.
"I promise," Zoe said. "But...if you really want to go see what's going on with the McMillan's...I'll do it. Let's find the others and get going."
