At a party with her friend Laura Drake, Jenny Everywhere gets drunk and tells Laura that she is a Shifter. To prove her claim, she manages to briefly shift Laura into a universe with two moons. Upon returning to the universe in which they started, Jenny, now suffering from a headache, swears that she will never do that again.
