Ray woke up in the arms of a very attractive man. He had black hair, green eyes, and horns.... Ray blinked her eyes. His face was concerned and his ears turned to her as she opened her eyes again. Wait... His ears? Turned? He had cat like ears on the side of his head. This man looked pretty human otherwise. He sat Ray down on her bed and examined her. Lifting her shirt to look at her back and belly.
Ray immediately pulled her shirt back down and squeaked at his hand touching her back. "RaiLeah, are you alright?" The man's voice was soft and concerned. Ray nodded her head. Her memory started coming to her. At least RaiLeah's memories started combining with Ray's. The man was her father. "Okay, come to the kitchen after you get dressed. I made breakfast," He said eyeing the little girl as he got up. He leaned down and kissed her forehead, then turned around and walked out.
Ray started processing everything. She spoke softly to herself, "Leah, is me. I am Kissan. I live on a spaceship called Pusa9. My father is Edgar, he is a comander in the space militia. My mother, Andora, is a noble woman who lives on planet, Ailouros. She visits sometimes but not often. My brother's name is Simon, he is 3. I am 5," Ray thought about that, "5, why am I so young?" She dressed herself in a baby blue dress that slipped on. "What is going on? Was I reincarnated or transmigrated? Had to be. I had my memories. What happened to RaiLeah?" then the memories hit her. She was RaiLeah, just today she remembered her past life. For 5 years she had went without knowing she was from another time and now she remembered. She hit the side of her head softly. Then felt her ears, she had the same cat like ears that her dad had. Her hair had just covered them. Her tail wagged under her dress. "I am RaiLeah and Ray, and both of me love Pancakes," she jumped and ran to the dinning room where her brother sat in his high chair.
"RaiLeah, what do you want to drink?" Edgar asked placing a plate infront of her.
"Orange," she giggled as she poured syrup over the pancakes and went to cut herself a bite. Edgar placed a sippy cup in front of her and she said "funk few," with her mouth full.
"Manners," Edgar scolded.
Ray finished her mouthfull, "sorry daddy."
They ate in silence because the pancakes were too good. After breakfast it was time for classes. Simon had daycare and Ray had kindergarten. Endgnar dropped them off, kissed them both and went to work.
Kindergarten was too easy with a 26 year old brain. She didn't have great handwriting because her body wasn't use to writing but she would work on that. She also needed to work on her crafting and sewing. She decided that in this life she would try to be as healthy as possible and learn some martial arts.
She looked around, maybe she could live her life better. In a healthy body without all her past mistakes. No stupid boyfriends or failed tests. She would do it right. Plus she lived on a spaceship with a bunch of aliens. Her class contained several humanoid species. Some looked like DnD characters, while others looked like aliens from fiction. The ones who freaked her out of course were the ones who didn't appear humanoid at all. A little boy that looked like the monster from the 'Alien' movies ran around chasing a girl who looked like a red elf. These were her classmates. She remembered having only two friends among them. Ian, a completely human looking boy, and Zengara, the red elf looking girl.
Ian slowly walked over to Ray, "Pst, Rai! I snagged us some snacks. Come on!" he smirked grabbing Ray's arm.
"By snagged, you mean stole?" Ray eyed him cautiously. He had already proven to be a great thief, even if he looked like one of the nerdiest kids she had ever seen. He had glasses half an inch thick, a sloppy blonde bowl cut, and a thin body that looked like he would snap at a stiff wind. However, he had never been caught stealing.
"Of course! How else we get snacks in this class!" Ian laughed and threw a chocolate bar at Ray. "Why you weird?" he questioned biting into his own candy.
"I was sick this morning. I don't know why," she sighed breaking off a piece and putting it in her mouth.
"When you start talking like a grown-up?" He took another bite, "and why you eatting weird?"
Ray realized she didn't know how to be a child. She was 5, last time was 20 years ago. How do children eat candy bars? Ian took his last bite and shoved the whole thing in his mouth with his fist. Oh, she couldn't eat like that! How would she survive to an age where she could be herself? "I wanna start being a lady since momma ain't round. Simon needs a strong lady in his life," she said trying to talk like a kid.
Ian looked puzzled but nodded, " I can see that."
They went to play with the other kids after she woofed down her candy bar. When the day was done she made a plan to get through the next 5 years. At 10 she could start being her girly self. Why in all these transmigrated stories do the girls get thrown to a time they don't fit in. Ray loved dresses and nail polish. She liked sewing and doing her hair. She only had short hair because she couldn't care for it in the hospital. Now in this time everyone wore space suits and blue jeans. Why couldn't she go to the alternate realities where she was a princess with a heram of handsome men? Well she could make the most of this. She just hoped she grew up fast.
