Tiffany opened her eyes. "Wha-what just happened to me?" she asked Katie.
Katie just crossed her arms and her clown mouth twitched in a genuine smirk. "Wanna guess?"
Tiffany looked down at her body. She was now dress in an outfit similar to Katie's, only a different color scheme: her skirt was orange trimmed in yellow and covered with pink hearts; her petticoat and bloomers were yellow. Her shoes had become enormous yellow high tops with red laces; the toes were even longer and wider than her friend's. Tiffany's blouse was the same yellow as her bloomers and petticoat, and bordered in orange. she wore orange gloves with a pink heart on the back of each hand.
Tiffany felt some relief when she saw her bust size and skin color stayed the same. No wait- her skin wasn't the same tan, it had become sugar-pink.
Katie held up the compact Tiffany gave her earlier. "Wanna look?" she said, echoing her friend's own words.
Nervously Tiffany took the compact and opened it.
Her face was the same sugar pink as the skin on her arm. The areas around her eyes and her mouth were now white; her muzzle was outlined in red,her eye patches in black. She had big red eyelashes and a big blue mouth inside her muzzle. Her blond hair retained it's color but was now curled into ringlets and tied into bobbing ponytails like Katie's
The very worst, in the center of her face, was a red clown nose. Katie's nose was a little smaller than a tennis ball; Tiffany's was a little bigger.Slowly she touched it, then jerked her hand away.
"Kat," she said, then stopped; she'd sounded like a female version of Goofy! "Kat, she said again, "what's just happened to us."
"Is'nt it obvious?" Somehow Katie's new voice was very good at sounding sarcastic. "That book somehow turned us into clowns."
"What'll we do?" Tiffany sobbed. She'd always liked clowns, but that didn't mean she wanted to BE one. "I don't want to look like this forever!" Seltzer water shot out from the corners of Tiffany's eyes, just barely missing Katie.
"You think I'm crazy about it?" Katie poked Tiffany in the nose. HONK! it sounded, even deeper and louder than Katie's nose. "Listen, there must be some way to undo this." She looked over at the book where Tiffany had dropped it. "And I think we'll find the answers in there."
"But Kat-,"
Katie shrugged. "What can the book do to us that's worse than what it already did?"
