While you can, you hug Liz, telling her, "Even though i never called you mom, you were a good damned good one. i just hope that some day you have kids of your own." She hugs you tightly and you look into her eyes as you see a tear roll down your cheek. Then the world around you goes white and you feel an odd pulling sensation as you regress a year, back into an eighteen year old. When the the brightness fades, you find the park around you, as it was nineteen years ago. You stand staring into the face of a much younger Liz. You realize that you are hugging each other and release the embrace, feeling kinda odd. The single thought runs through our head, 'Whoa, lesbo moment.' before you remember why you where hugging her.
The last bet had turned you into her daughter. Reviewing the terms of the bet made nineteen years later, you combed your memory, seeing everything sound. Your memories had been effectively altered, (despite not recalling it) to suite that of an eighteen year old girl born in 1989, not 2008, yet that Joanne was still deeper in, as the terms of the bet had suggested. Also, You are pleased to find that your boyfriend and his family had come back with them. Remembering that the Joanne of 2027 had been nineteen, while you were just a year younger, as close to nineteen as she had been to twenty. "Nice job, Liz." you state, not remembering being a boy at all. In fact, a little grossed at the idea.
"Well, we escaped a very bad fate thanks to that amulet reappearing," Amanda began, "So I would suggest that from now on, any transformations be temporary, lasting no more than a week."
"Good idea." Liz commented. Suddenly, the phone in the pocket of your running shorts begins to ring and vibrate with a favorite love song of yours. "Guess who?" you ask rhetorically as you answer it, knowing they'd take the hint.
"Hello?" you ask.
"Hey, babe." said a man's voice on the other line. "What you up to? I called your house and your mom said you went out."
"I'm just down at the park, jogging with my girlfriends." you replay, as if it was the most normal thing. You smile deviously at the others as an idea pops into your head. "Hey, we're going to be here for another hour or so, so you want to come down and run with us?" You ask, hearing the others giggle quietly.
"Uh, sure. I'll gear up and come right down." he answers.
"Alright, baby, see you soon." you hang up and slip the phone back into your pocket.
