Stacy had lived in the same house her whole life. Her parents had told her that she'd slept in their room as a toddler, but she couldn't remember waking up to anything but the unicorn poster over her bed and her moon-and-stars blanket. Now her poster was rolled up and fitted into a special cardboard tube, and her blanket was washed and in a box. There had been a lot of talk about things changing, and Stacy was beginning to wonder if she was going to like the changes. She was getting a bigger room in their new house, but she was also getting a little sister that she would have to share her toys with. Her new school was bigger too, but she also heard her parents talking about her school uniforms. She knew she'd keep her old friends but didn't know if she would make new friends in her new neighborhood.
