You can't turn a tree that's been burned to ashes back into a tree.

Khannie gives her dad a hug, just in case.

"Yeah, I like this one," she eventually concludes regarding the shirt. "These ones look nice, too."

In the end she picks out several single-color shirts in various hues along with a few shirts with random slogans on them. None of the slogans make any sense and Khannie is pretty sure a computer must have made them up. She thinks they're funny. Next up come a few pairs of pants and some skirts Khannie thinks are cute.

And a hoodie!

Just not a kangaskhan hoodie.

Now they just need to get a swim suit. Khannie wants to go to one of the city pools some time!

I don't want to be a pony, though. Or a pokemon. Or anything else other than a human girl. I JUST want to be a human girl living with her real family. That's all I've ever wanted.

She definitely doesn't want a crocodile tail.
