Once in the room Alicia declared she felt like a bath. She allowed Rachel to have first shower. She explained to Rachel how to wash her long hair and that Rachel could choose any dress and jewellery she wanted from Alicia’s wardrobe.
By the time Alicia was out of the bath she found Rachel once more in her blue silk birthday dress. Rachel's arms were covered in bangles and she was once more wearing Alicia’s Versace watch. She decided Rachel actually had good taste in jewellery. Rachel was in front of the mirror attempting to make herself up. It seemed Rachel’s make-up skills were not up to par. Alicia could not do anything about Rachel's still very masculine voice but she set about fixing the makeup and hair to a standard Alicia thought was acceptable, before getting herself dressed.
Before they set off for another night out the couple decided to drink the last satchel. Henry retrieved it from the safe and was pleased to see that it dissolved just as easily as the other satchels had. They each drank half. It tasted a lot less pleasant than the other satchels, but both made sure the fluid went down their throats.
‘So what do you think will be changed tomorrow morning?’ Alicia asked
‘Don’t know. Best case is we are ourselves once more. After all the doll is now completely consumed. More likely it will change something else which might last 24 hours’
‘What would you think the change will be? Our brains?’
‘Why do you day that?’ Henry had not thought of brains
‘Because this satchel was inside the head where our brains are. It might make me smart like you. I could become a CEO and you could become the airhead’
‘You are not an airhead’
‘I think you flatter me. I’m a slave to my hormones and don’t have strong will power’ Alicia was feeling more than a bit guilty about her episode with Alex on the golf course. Rachel was a sweet girl and did not deserve to be betrayed. ‘Look at you. Anything you take on you do well. I mean you have only been a girl for a few days but you are gorgeous’
‘Despite appearances I'm still a man where it counts and think any beauty I have is thanks to my body donor. Besides, I didn’t do well at golf today. You won fair and square. You've picked up golf really quickly’
Alicia blushed, ‘Only thanks to my good teacher’ Alicia was trying to compliment her husband, but immediately recognised she needed to credit two golf teachers
They had an awkward silence. Henry wasn’t sure whether Alicia was referring to himself or Alex ‘I’m still hoping to be myself when we wake up. Let’s get going’
