Vinnie pursed his lips. He said slowly and thoughtfully, "There might be one way, if you're willing, Cyrus?"
"Yes, whatever, just do it! Ryan can't just be a mindless thing. It would be like I murdered him. Whatever you can do, Vinnie, do it!" Cy begged.
That was all Vinnie needed. Just permission. Ryan had sarcastically agreed to replace Vinnie's jockstrap. And that was all Vinnie needed. Now Cy had given him permission.
"Switcheroo!" Vinnie said.
Cy's perspective shifted. Hell his whole being shifted. He was disoriented. He was looking up at Vinnie. In the mirror behind Vinnie, Cy saw Ryan Standish wearing only a jockstrap staring blankly forward.
It took a minute, and Cy shrieked, "You turned me into Ryan's jockstrap!"
It took a moment for him to realize that Ryan Standish's voice shrieked his words.
"Now you can convince Ryan that he's not a jockstrap, but a real human being, and if you can do it without becoming a mindless jockstrap, I should be able to change you back. If you fail, well Ryan will become a jockstrap again to, and I'll alternate wearing you two."
"What?!?!?!" Ryan's voice exclaimed with a blank expression on his face.
