Sam got up and looked past the trees. Colin could see someone watching him from the tree line.
“I said, is someone there?!” Colin called again.
He looked down in the river and realized he was glowing pink again, gasping in shock. Sam spotted a backpacker giving him a blank stare as she dropped her gear and set her hat atop it, her long red hair flowing in the wind.
“Oh come on! I went into the wilderness to avoid this crap!” Colin yelled.
The redhead struggled against the tides as she stripped her shirt and bra off, her freckled breasts bobbing with every step.
“Why?! What did I do to deserve this curse?!” The guy yelled, “I was just a lonely guy looking for love!”
The redhead let her jeans drop to her ankles, the rushing river carrying them over the falls.
“Well I’m not letting it happen this time!” Colin yelled as he squatted and strained, the pink aura trying to exit his body as the redhead licked her lips.
“Rrrrrrraaaaaaaugh!” He bellows as a huge pink flash consumes him.
He opens his eyes to see the redhead emerge from her trance and run away screaming.
“Damn girl, you so thirsty fo’ a man that you tried streaking through the damn river?” Her friend asked.
“Girl? Baby it’s me, Bryan! That buff weirdo turned me into a chick!” The redhead yelled.
‘Buff?’ Colin thought.
Sure enough, he was as ripped as the redhead claimed. Bulky biceps, sculpted abs, firm thighs, solid pecs... he could pass for a dude in a sports drink ad!
“Briana, what the hell you talking ‘bout? You sure my friend didn’t slip and hit her head?” The friend asked.
“Uhhhh.... Yeah, I think she did...” Colin said as he discretely kicked a rock. “What was that? I’m gonna go check it out.”
He walked into the clearing and saw Sam blushing intensely, feeling up his arm.
“Wow... it’s real....” she sighed as she nuzzled his neck, backing up and yawning “I’m a little tired, mind carrying me back to the cabin?” Sam asked.
Colin found out he could lift her no effort, carrying her bridal style as the sun set... things looked like they were under control.
