Excellent. Magical duplicate girlfriends proceed to be as glued at the hip as they can while one of them has obligations to public school.

As soon as Jenny finds out, she corners May during lunch. "Alli says your girlfriend's in town! Is she just messing with me or is she actually here? If she's here then eeeeee that is exciting and can we meet her?!"

"Of course you can! She's been picking me up after school in my car, she won't mind hanging around so you can all stare at her."

Jenny dances delightedly. "Yessss!" She smirks at May. "Now we can evaluate if she is acceptably awesome enough for you. She must be worthy."

"She could not possibly be more worthy she is a literal duplicate of me!"

Jenny waves her hand dismissively. "You're my friend, I have not yet met her, she must still be vetted! Friend Code. She's just, like, basically guaranteed to pass. But the Friend Code."

"Pff."

And after school here is a sphinx to collect her dragon.

Alli and Jenny have no problem blatantly following May. When the sphinx arrives, Alli waves lazily. "Hey, I'm Alli."

"Jenny. Hiii!"

"Isabella. Nice to meet you."

"You too! How long are you in town?"

"Until Vivian drags me home. I'm not the one with conventional school to show up at every day."

"You lucky b-"

"-person."

"I am in fact very lucky to be homeschooled. By all accounts I'm not missing much."

"You are so not."

"People, maybe? Do you have friends your age at home? I have some cousins who are homeschooled and they barely ever leave the house, it seems lonely."

"I'm an introvert, and besides, there are other ways to be around people. The Avalon, for example."

"Oh, you have an Avalon! Which one? What's it like? I've been to barely any!"

"It's nice! Good place to fly around, good bookstore."

"Oooooh. That is a greaaaat idea. We should all go flying!"

"And I... eh. I'd probably hang nearby and throw paper airplanes at you."

"Poor Alli."
