"Did...did you just evolve?" Fredrick asked stunned
"Yep." Lisa said and stretched, trying to relieve some of the tension in her muscles and bones.
Sigh, I guess I'll have to try harder huh." Fredrick said with a smile
[Lisa, where are you? Did you run into any trouble?] Alex asked worriedly
[No we're done, we'll start heading back now.] Lisa replied
"We should head back, Alex is starting to get worried." Lisa said and walked towards the clearing and everyone followed behind her, except for Maya hesitated for a second, looking at her fleeting back, before following after them.

"Is something wrong?" She asked with a playful smile
