Looking at the pink bow, Marina thought it looked cute and put it on her new permanent faux ears. She went to check herself on the mirror as the bow melted into her hair. Getting to the bathroom. She saw no bow, and her hair turned bubblegum pink. She also felt like her body was de-aging slightly, like she was almost back into her teens. Her hair grew large, but her faux ears stayed where they were. Her little spider tail turned pink too, just like her hair. A bracelet then appeared on her arm with a spider symbol on it. She opened her mouth and saw she still had her odd fangs. She didn’t feel that much different though as she walked to where the items were. She tried to look for them, but it seems like they disappeared, with no hope of turning her back to normal. She sighed, defeated, and redressed herself in a cute outfit. Feeling cute, she struck a pose. Marina saw this as weird, considering there was no one there. She closed the door to her apartment and went outside to find her friends.
Looking through her contacts, she found Kylie first, giving her a call.
“Hi Marina, what’s up?”
“Come meet me in the park, I want to show you something.”
“Like, right now?”
“The big tree, 20 minutes is all I’ll wait.”
“Can you give me a-” *click*
She hung up the phone as soon as she picked it up. She made a mad dash for the park, gracefully maneuvering around the people walking the streets. Without breaking a sweat, she was already passing through the gates of the park. She used her spider abilities to climb up random surfaces and get a overhead view of the entire park. She saw her target, the giant tree in the middle of the park, and used her instincts to aim a web at the tree. She felt a snag, snapped off the other end, and tied it to the top of the post she was on. She just felt the need to walk across the web she shot, and surprisingly it held her. ‘Magic spider webbing…cool!’ she thought, seeing the people walking below her. After getting to the tree, she climbed to the top, and now she could see everything, even Kylie walking into the park. Getting a buzz from her phone, she picked up…
“I’m here at the tree, where are you?”
“Look up” Marina hung up the phone.
Kylie looked up and was immediately greeting by her friend’s lips locked with hers as she descended from the tree upside down. Kylie pushed Marina away as she staggered from the sudden kiss.
“Ack, what was that for? How are you even hanging there?”
“Surprise? I got weird new spider powers!”
“Wait, spider? WTF why spider!?”
“Dunno, it’s what happened after I took the pills this morning.”
One explanation later…
“So lemme get this straight. You take pills, you turn into a spider creature, you revert back and now there’s some new items. You take the bow, your hair turns pink, and now you can control your spider powers?”
Marina shrugged her shoulders, “That’s basically it. You are really good at simplifying stuff.”
“What I don’t get is why you turned back a few years younger. I swear you look like your graduation pics from 7 years ago.”
“Eh, no clue.”
Kylie stood there looking at Marina, surprised at how cute she looked. She was a little shorter than she was normally, but had much larger hips than she did previously, probably to support her spider tail. She just wanted to protect her, she was too cute.
