The phone rang. For the first time since I had changed to unicorn, I couldn't tell who was on the other end. Worried, I ran in to Mom's bedroom, and picked up the receiver.
"Hello?"
"I seek the one known as Brian of Trent," a deep, gravely voice said from the other end.
"And who should I say is calling?"
I heard another voice in the background. "I am his father," said the first voice.
I could see the speaker now, and I shuddered. The creature looked for all the world like a six foot flounder wearing a gray uniform. "You mean that Brian is half-human, and half alien fish?"
Someone laughed, and I knew the voice now. "No, I am his father. Tell Brian of Trent that I will meet him on the next rotation after the learning...." After a pause, the creature said, "The time period called tomorrow after school."
"Okay," I said and hung up the phone.
