Misha has just gotten a new pass for the pool. Today there’s a swimming race and she goes to Howie’s house to see if wants to join her. But he is all involved in constructing a machine that makes things change color and he decides to skip the race. Misha wants to know if the machine works on people too: she pushes the button and poof!: she turns green. Misha heads off to the swimming race, but then realizes that there’s a problem. Since she’s green they won’t recognize her and won’t let her in. She rushes back to Howie’s house to see if she can change the color back again, but he’s not there. It turns out that he and Carol are out on the streets making things change color. Misha finally catches up with them, but just as she does, the machine breaks down. Misha bursts into tears. What she doesn’t know is that the color change has a time limit. In one minute Misha will turn purple again and can go to the swimming race.
