"Like, I'm so tired of being outside," she rolls her eyes. ### The Continuation 86. Sophie continued to walk down the darkening street, clutching her phone and feeling increasingly impatient. 87. She didn't recognize any of the houses or landmarks around her. 88. Finally, she spotted a light on in a nearby house. 89. Sophie approached the house and knocked on the door. 90. An elderly woman opened the door and looked down at her. 91. "Hello, dear. Are you lost?" the woman asked kindly. 92. "Ugh, like, yeah! I'm Sophie, I'm 12, and I don't know why I'm out here or where my mom is!" Sophie said, rolling her eyes. 93. "Oh dear, why don't you come inside, and we'll see if we can sort this out," the woman offered. 94. Sophie hesitated but then stepped inside. 95. The interior was warm and brightly lit, a sharp contrast to the darkening street outside. 96. "My name is Mrs. Thompson," the woman said kindly. "Let's call your mom." 97. Sophie handed her phone over, flipping her hair back as she did. 98. "Thank you," Sophie said, trying to mask her annoyance. 99. Mrs. Thompson dialed the number and waited for someone to pick up. 100. Finally, an unfamiliar voice answered. 101. "Hello, uh, who is this?" the voice asked. 102. "This is Mrs. Thompson. I have a young girl named Sophie here. She seems to be lost and is looking for her mother," she explained. 103. There was a pause. "Sophie? I don't know any Sophie. Are you sure you dialed the right number?" 104. Mrs. Thompson turned to Sophie, who was already fidgeting impatiently. 105. "Is this your mom's number, dear?" Mrs. Thompson asked. 106. Sophie checked the number. "Yeah, that's, like, the right number." 107. Confused, Mrs. Thompson handed the phone back. 108. Sophie grabbed it and tried calling again, but the result was the same — no one knew her. 109. Frustration bubbled up within her. 110. "This is so stupid! Why doesn't anyone know who I am?" she exclaimed. 111. Mrs. Thompson tried to calm her. "Don't worry, dear. We'll figure this out." 112. Sophie slumped into a chair, crossing her arms. 113. "I just want to go home and fix my hair," Sophie muttered. 114. While waiting for Mrs. Thompson to think of another solution, Sophie glanced around the cozy room. 115. There were old photos, a bookshelf full of worn novels, and a small knitting basket. 116. The normalcy of it all felt oddly out of place with her situation. 117. "Can I get you something to eat or drink while we figure this out?" Mrs. Thompson offered. 118. "Yeah, like, maybe some water," Sophie replied, her bratty tone softening despite herself. 119. Mrs. Thompson brought Sophie a glass of water. 120. "Here you go, dear," she said, handing it to her. 121. Sophie took the glass and sipped on it, trying to process everything. 122. "Why do you think my mom doesn't remember me?" she asked after a while. 123. Mrs. Thompson looked thoughtful. "I'm not sure, dear. It's quite odd." 124. Sophie shook her head, confused and frustrated. 125. "I just want to go home," she said softly. 126. Just as Mrs. Thompson was about to say something, the doorbell rang again. 127. Mrs. Thompson rose to answer it. 128. Standing on the porch was a concerned-looking woman with a police officer. 129. "Excuse me, ma'am. We're looking for a missing child," the officer said. 130. Mrs. Thompson’s eyes widened. "Please, come in." 131. The woman and the officer stepped inside, and Sophie’s eyes brightened. 132. The woman looked somewhat familiar. 133. "Sophie?" the woman said, cautiously. 134. "Mom?!" Sophie exclaimed. 135. "Yes, I'm your mom, Emily," she said, though Sophie sensed hesitation. 136. "I was so worried about you," Emily continued, taking a step forward. 137. Sophie ran to her and wrapped her arms around her mother. 138. Emily hugged her back, albeit somewhat awkwardly. 139. Mrs. Thompson explained what had happened to the officer. 140. "Thank you for keeping her safe," Emily said to Mrs. Thompson. 141. "No problem at all," Mrs. Thompson replied kindly. 142. Sophie was relieved to finally be with her mom, but something still felt off. 143. The officer nodded and took notes, ensuring everything was in order. 144. "Sophie," Emily said softly, "Let's go home." 145. Sophie grabbed Emily's hand and followed her outside. 146. The night air was cool, and it felt like a long journey back to their house. 147. Along the way, Emily kept glancing at Sophie as if trying to reconcile something. 148. "Mom, why do you seem weird?" Sophie asked, rolling her eyes. 149. "It's...nothing, sweetie. Let's just get home," Emily said, forcing a smile. 150. When they arrived home, Sophie felt a wave of relief wash over her. 151. The familiar surroundings grounded her in a reality she was trying to understand. 152. Emily led her to her room, the decor feminine and completely fitting Sophie's "new" identity. 153. "Get some rest, Sophie. We'll talk more in the morning," Emily said, kissing her forehead. 154. "Okay, mom," Sophie replied, slipping under her pink floral bedspread. 155. As she closed her eyes, her mind raced with questions, but fatigue soon took over. 156. The next morning, Emily had prepared breakfast. 157. Sophie joined her at the table, still piecing together the previous night. 158. "How are you feeling, sweetie?" Emily asked gently. 159. "Better, but I'm still confused," Sophie admitted, taking a bite of her cereal. 160. Emily sighed. "I can imagine. But sometimes, things happen that we can't explain." 161. "Like what?" Sophie pressed. 162. "Oh, you know, just...life," Emily replied, trying to be evasive. 163. Emily then changed the subject. "Are you ready for school?" 164. Sophie groaned, rolling her eyes. "I guess." 165. She got dressed, selecting her favorite pink top and jeans, before heading out the door. 166. At school, everything seemed...normal. 167. Sophie met up with her best friend, Jess. 168. "Hey, Soph! You look great!" Jess exclaimed. 169. "Thanks!" Sophie replied, flipping her hair. 170. The day went on as usual, classes, recess, gossiping with friends. 171. But every so often, Sophie would get an odd sensation, something she couldn’t quite place. 172. Life continued this way for weeks, with Sophie adjusting more and more to her life as a tween girl. 173. Her memories of being Ben faded completely. 174. One day, as she was cleaning her room, she found an old photo album. 175. Flipping through the pages, she saw pictures of herself, Emily, and her grandma Millie, but none of her as Ben. 176. "Mom?" she called out. 177. "Yes, sweetie?" Emily replied, entering the room. 178. "Why don’t I have any baby pictures?" Sophie asked, a hint of curiosity in her voice. 179. Emily’s face turned solemn. "Sometimes, sweetie, we lose things to remind us that it's more important to think of the future." 180. Sophie accepted the answer with a typical tween huff and moved on. 181. As time went by, she embraced her new friends, hobbies, and experiences. 182. Emily watched her daughter grow, mixed emotions often clouding her features. 183. One summer evening, Sophie stumbled upon her old stuffed bear, Teddy, while cleaning the attic. 184. She felt an unexpected pang of nostalgia but couldn't place where it came from. 185. "Weird," she murmured, tossing the bear into a giveaway box. 186. Her transformation was now complete — not just physically but mentally and emotionally. 187. Sophie was a normal 12-year-old girl. 188. She had completely integrated into the life she now knew. 189. She attended school dances, worried about grades, and spent hours chatting with friends. 190. As the years passed, the night of her transformation drifted farther into the recesses of her memory. 191. Emily, on the other hand, never forgot. 192. Late at night when Sophie was asleep, she would often sit by the window, thinking about the son she had lost and the daughter she had gained. 193. She wondered if it had all been real or some elaborate dream. 194. But the reality of Sophie’s life forced her to accept things as they were. 195. Sophie thrived, her tween years filled with the typical ups and downs. 196. By the time she was 14, she had developed interests in fashion, dance, and music. 197. She was popular at school, often surrounded by friends. 198. Emily supported her, grateful for the bond they shared. 199. But sometimes, just sometimes, she would notice a flicker of something in Sophie’s eyes. 200. A fleeting glimmer of doubt or confusion. 201. It never lasted long, a mere shadow passing through. 202. Life was, for all intents and purposes, perfectly ordinary. 203. Emily found solace in this routine normalcy. 204. Sophie turned 15, then 16. 205. Her teenage years brought new challenges and milestones. 206. Through it all, she remained the same headstrong, confident girl she had become that fateful night. 207. High school came and went, filled with memories and friendships. 208. Sophie applied to colleges, dreaming of a future filled with promise. 209. Emily was proud, her heart swelling with every achievement. 210. One day, as Sophie was packing for college, she found one of the old flip flops in the back of her closet. 211. She picked it up, examining it closely. 212. A strange sensation washed over her. 213. But true to herself, she quickly tossed it aside, labeling it as "totes old and lame." 214. Months later, as she settled into her dorm room, the past faded further from both their minds. 215. Sophie embraced her new life with vigor, making new friends and cherishing new experiences. 216. Emily adjusted to an empty nest, filled with pride and a tinge of melancholy. 217. They spoke often, both
