Stacy opened her eyes. For a moment, she wasn't sure whether the procedure
had worked or not. She didn't feel any different... Concentrate,
she told herself. Try to call up a memory. At first, nothing
happened. And then, suddenly, her sixth birthday party was there, in her
mind's eye, in vivid detail. She recalled the dress she had worn, the doll
her mother had given her (the one she still had sequestered in the very
back of her bedroom closet), the boy who had been sick from eating too much
cake... Stacy realized that tears were flowing down her cheeks. A concerned-looking alien face hovered over her. "Are you all right?" it asked. "I remember!" creid Stacy happily. "I remember... everything! Thank you!" And, to both their surprise, she reached up and gave the alien a huge hug. It made an expression like a smile, and gently began removing the apparatus from her head. Stacy suddenly realized that the alien who appeared to be the leader on this ship was standing across the room, watching her. "I am very glad for you, Stacy," he said. "Thank you,' said Stacy, wiping away her tears with a slight sense of embarrassment. "So. What happens now?"
