"Why do you look like that?" Jenifer asked once again and finally finding her voice, which sounded really feminine to her ears, Mark began to explain the vials to Jenifer.
Grinning, Jenifer twirled around, aware that Mark had been staring at her costume the whole time. As she did so, she exclaimed, "I'm a fairy princess and I'm very pretty. You think I'm very pretty. You should play with me and then you'd be pretty as well."
Unsure, fumbling with a response, wanting only to try and reverse what had happened, Mark looked at Jenifer and said, "I want to..." and then trailed off as she attempted to say that she wanted only to find the vial that would undo the transformation that she suddenly found herself in, all before her father came looking for her.
Stopping in place, Jenifer grinned and the flouncing about, she asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to...." Mark started to say and then trailed off again. Finding it difficult to think with the way his sister was acting, Mark suddenly blurted out, "I want to play dolls! Can I borrow your Angelina Ballerina doll and dress her up?"
Stopping, Jenifer looked at the girl her brother had become and then beaming, she squealed, "Will you play dress up with me as well?"
"Can I wear tights," Mark immediately replied without giving it a second thought, forgetting entirely about the vials or the fact that she was supposed to be doing chores and that any moment, her father was sure to come looking for her.
Holding out her hand, Jenifer told her brother turned sister, "Yup. And if you want, you can even be pretty like me and wear one of my costumes. And it is no problem for you to play with Angelina. I’m sure she’d love it," and when Mark finally took her hand, she led her sister back into the living room, turning off the television as she passed through, and upstairs to her room.
As she was led up to her sister's room, Mark first dropped the vials on the couch without a second thought and then, shortly after, she asked, "Can I be a ballerina and would you call me Maralyn," to which her sister agreed.
