Yes Shiemi had been gone for a few days but that didn't mean she'd forgotten how weird Fandom Island could sometimes be. And today it was really being weird. Covent Garden... looked like a normal flower shop.

It had started when she'd found all the stock in place or as put away by the last shift. Then her quick tour of the store showed that nothing was missing and nothing was new. Nothing was the wrong shape or colour and all displays were properly set up, only needing a light dusting. The plants weren't talking or dancing or eating anything unusual (for them) and they all seemed to be in the correct pots and soils... even the fish seemed to be normal fish.

The windows showed the right views when the blinds were opened. The broom actually swept up things when she used it. The lights weren't odd colours and didn't give off smells or make music. The bell over the door tinkled like a bell should and only when the door was used. The register wasn't in some strange language or holding alien currency and the weirdest phone call was from someone who had asked if she would inflate balloons that were bought at another store.

Nothing. Was. Weird.


Shiemi was worried; had she come to the wrong island?!
