"A few pounds tops?" Shrugs Nicola.
"Multiply it by a couple thousand," chimes the woman.
"Man you're overvaluing your stock," laughs Nicola.
"Undervaluing actually. Especially considering that the crystal was once human."
"Oh magic," replies Nicola sarcastically.
"Nicola, stop it," says James weakly. "Alright," says the shopkeeper, "Just for that. You two are now store property."
"Haha. You're a loon lady," says Nicola arrogantly.
Nicola is about to walk towards the door when she feels a sharp pain travel down her spine. She suddenly freezes. James is shocked and terrified, "What have you done to her?" He asks scared.
"I've frozen her. That way she won't feel any pain during her transformation. As much as I'd enjoy it, I'm not a monster."
"Transformation? Into what?" Asks James concerned.
"A femboy my dear. They're a rather popular rental. For some reason." James suddenly freezes too.
The woman looks at the two frozen people and smiles, "As good as they are as models. I'll make more money renting them."
Out of nowhere. The two customers unfreeze. They look completely different from before, "You've got some explaing lady," shouts Nicola not noticing her transformation.
"Look in the mirror," the shopkeeper replies smugly. Nicola looks over and gasps, "You bitch. You made me look more masculine."
"A bit further than that. You are a guy. Specifically a femboy."
"I'll kill you," screams Nicola.
"Afraid you can't do that. I'm immortal."
Nicola looks at James and says, "What are you looking at weirdo?" James suddenly becomes aware that he too is completely different.
"Nicola. It's me. James," he says. Nicola's face changes, "Oh my god. You're a freak."
"How?" Asks James.
"You're emo."
"Scene," buts in the woman.
"Doesn't matter. Still a freak."
"I didn't know you had a hatred for specific types of people Nicola."
"I'd hardly call emos human."
"But I was once one," says James.
"Oh. That explains it. That explains why you're such a submissive bitch. Once a freak, always a freak."
James backs away from Nicola who is now taller than him. Nicola suddenly freezes again.
"What a bitch," says Meredith.
"Didn't expect that," replies James.
"I could tell by your face."
"That reminds me. Can I see what I look like?"
"Sure. Look in the mirror."
James looks over and sees himself. Black scene hair, brown eyes, a lip piercing and looks to be in his mid teens.
James then looks over to Nicola. Feminine yet slightly masculine body with blue/ grey eyes and jet black hair.
James sighs and says, "Guess I'm also put up for rental?"
"You'd be correct," replies Meredith.
"Ok. Also, I think you'll need to change Nicola's temprement if you're going to rent her out."
"Already dealt with."
Suddenly the shop door opens.
