"You will, thirty minutes from now, change into the form I am currently picturing in my mind", said Rich with great satisfaction. "I suggest you head home, unless you want to change here. Also, once you have changed, no one but you, Jennifer and I will ever realize there is anything different about you. You'll live out the rest of your life as a freak, but everyone will think you've always been one and accept you, more or less."
"The dare part is this: I dare you to not even attempt to pass on the curse, to be unable to speak about it or communicate any information about it in any way, and to be immune to it's effects forever. You'll be stuck, for good. And, you'll return to school immediately after lunch."
Wailing, Kyle dashed out of the gym and bolted for home.
Rich turned to Jennifer. She hopped over to him tentatively. "So the curse worked? You really think I'm beautiful like this?" she asked, looking down at her kangaroo body and gesturing as best she could with her forepaws.
"I think you're gorgeous, Jennifer", said Rich. "I only hope you'll grow to feel as strongly about me as I do about you."
"Oh rich", she said, "I have never met anyone who would give me as much as you have given. I can't tell you how much you mean to me. And the spell that made me want to seduce you certainly hasn't worn off at all!" She blushed, suddenly feeling funny about flirting with someone as a kangaroo girl. She crossed her forepaws shyly in front of her. "This will take some getting used to, though, as you can probably imagine."
"I can imagine", Rich said, "-- remember, I was in the same shape you were in until a moment ago. I just wish there was more I could have done for you. Not that I'd change a thing about you, though", he added, pulling her close for another kiss.
"Let's get out of here, babe -- I need to get home and get some normal clothes on. We want to be back in time to give Kyle a proper welcome." He took her paw in his hand as she hopped along next to him toward his SUV, which he was happy to find had been restored to reality along with his old body.
Out of breath from running home, Kyle slammed the front door behind him and dashed to his room. He hid under the covers of his bed, knowing that he had only minutes left before his transformation would begin. The feeling of his body beginning to tingle all over sent him into a panic. Sweating, he rushed to the mirror and watched in terror for the first sign of a change.
