"Transform into this," Belle commanded, her voice carrying a mixture of excitement and anticipation as she projected a captivating image of a black formal dress. The dress seemed to exude an aura of elegance and allure that instantly captivated anyone who laid eyes upon it. "I've been longing for it for months," she continued, her eyes sparkling with desire, "and so have some of my friends. If you can turn into this dress, we'll call it even."
Caught in a bewildering bind with seemingly no apparent escape, you hesitated for a moment, contemplating the consequences of such a transformation.

Curiosity and uncertainty filled the air as her mother inquired, "How long do you plan to keep him like this?"

Her mother's curiosity did not wane. "And when might that be?" she probed further, hoping to uncover the mysteries behind her daughter's intentions.
