It was Bobbie, now Melania who first picked up one of the masks that they had all just discarded onto the bathroom floor. She immediately noticed something strange. The mask had short dark hair. A closer look revealed it was a mask of James’s face. ‘Look at this! It’s James!’
The other three masks were rapidly recovered. They proved to be latex masks of Bobbie, Jessica and Andrew.
‘What the hell is going on?’ asked the apparent Donald Trump.
'Maybe we put these on and we get our own faces back?’ Jessica/Hilary said hopefully. ‘Help me Andrew’
Andrew wrapped the Jessica mask around the Hilary head, sealing it at the back and neck. Immediately she looked like Jessica once more. ‘Thank god!’ she exclaimed. It even sounded like her own voice.
Soon each of the others had followed suit. They became Bobbi, James and Andrew once more.
‘So do we need to wear these masks for 7 hours or can we take them off straight away?’ asked James
‘Someone else can try’ suggested the newly restored Bobbi.
‘Open the flap and peep at my hair colour underneath’ suggested Andrew. ‘If it’s not grey I will take my mask off’
Jessica did exactly that ‘It’s brown. I think you are restored!’ her voice reeked of relief.
James removed his mask and sure enough he was himself once more. The latex mask retained his image until he placed it on the bathroom bench. Over the next couple of minutes, they watched the features of the mask change to those of Bill Clinton. ‘These are magical or something’ he uttered.
Tentatively the others took their masks off. To everyone’s relief they were all apparently fully restored. They watched as the masks reverted to the features of the politicians.
‘Let’s have that drink’ suggested Bobbi.
