Another World

"It's called the Levitation."

As I entered the glass bubble, girls and boys were lined up in front of a platform. One by one, they stepped up and registered. The girl in front of
me turned around. (Picture of Gwen)
"Hi. Do you know what time it is?"
I shook my head. "Time here goes slower than my world."
"Oh. This is your first time registering right?"
I nodded. "How many times am I supposed to?"
"Well," She answered. "You stay here for three years. So that makes three times!"
I understood now. Three years here was like one year at home.
"My name's Abby. How about you?" I asked confidently.
"I'm Gwen. But, we change our names when we register."
"Really?" I questioned.
Gwen nodded and moved up. I did too.
"What do they call this building?"
"It's called the Levitation."
Soon Gwen stepped up.
The lady looked down at her.
"First time?"
Gwen nodded. I could tell her nervousness from her hand fumbling around to find a comfortable position.
The lady stared at Gwen for a couple seconds.
"Gwen, right?" she asked finally.
Gwen nodded. "Gwen Moonstone."
The lady nodded and gave her a device that looked slightly like a smart phone, but say, 200x cooler.
"Don't lose it!" She warned. "And, from now on your name will be Dawn."
Dawn squealed and skipped off.
I stepped up.
"Another first-timer, huh?"
I nodded impatiently. I NEEDED to know my new name!
"Name?"
"Abigail Eaton."
Then, I felt something cold slip into my hand. It was the device Dawn had also been given.
"As I said to Dawn, DON'T LOOSE IT."
I nodded, slightly frightened.
I looked her in the eye. She had pale green eyes, with streaks of a bolder green in them. Her stare burned into me.
"Hmm..." she mumbled under her breath.
"How...about...Silver..."
I gaped. It was the perfect name!
Jumping for joy, I scurried out of the bubble.
