The ray gun, retrieved from lost and found, is in Ingress' hand. Actually, it's still in Ingress-as-Mary's hand. They are in Ingress' room, tucked away from the adults in the House.
"Okay. We try this, and if it doesn't work, then we'll tell Tom, and he'll figure out how to get us back."
Please work, please work, please work, she thinks.
"Ready?"
"Okay. We try this, and if it doesn't work, then we'll tell Tom, and he'll figure out how to get us back."
Please work, please work, please work, she thinks.

"I suppose," she says, but she sounds slightly doubtful.
How do you know if you're right?
"Maybe I should just be much more careful from now on."

(Mary doesn't quite see the irony in telling Ingress that she should listen to Mary, and thus think for herself.
"Grown-ups can be very clever, but they are wrong sometimes too. You ought not only to listen to anyone."

Don't argue this one, Mary. Ingress can totally trust Megwyn. It's canon.
no subject
Megwyn is a horse.

She shifts on one foot.
"Did you like being me?"
no subject
"I think," she says, honestly, "I might have liked it if I really were you - but I was not. I was only me, looking like you. That I did not like. I should rather be me, and look the way I am."

Mary blinks down at her feet. They feel normal to her . . .
"Do you think I am growing again?"
no subject
She is sooooo glad to be in her own clothes again.
"But maybe you are growing. You're quite tall already."
no subject
Kindly: "But I am sure you shall grow more, as well."

"We'll see."
Maybe she'll try and get taller just to show Mary's wrong!
No, Ingress isn't like that.
"Hey, I want to go see Megwyn. She'll be so relieved. Not that she doesn't like you. She does."
