As they reached the school building, Ty took hold of Dusty's hand. Dusty immediately attempted to retract, shunning the thought of being a 'girlfriend'.
"Relax," mentioned Ty. "Just follow me, okay? I promise this will all be over soon."
Dusty snarled a little. "It had BETTER be."
Ty shrugged. "You know, I've always wanted a pet lizard.." Dusty blinked and quickly blurted out, "Er, I can wait, I can wait!" Ty chuckled.
As they passed the school..passed? Dusty looked to Ty. "Uh, the school's over there, Ty." Ty nodded. "I know that, babe. But first we have to stop at a friend of
mine's house."
"For what?!" replied Dusty.
Ty crossed his arms. "Don't question me, or I'll make you Busty instead of Dusty." This elicited a sigh from the man.
They stopped by a trailer, resting in a little clearing by the school. The trailer looked like something from The Price is Right, only scratched and dented beyond belief.
Whoever drove the trailer must have been intoxicated a lot, Dusty figured.
Stepping inside the trailer, Ty led Dusty into a back room, where a young teenager awaited, sitting in a little bean bag chair.
"Who's this?" said Dusty, as she was led into a bean bag chair next to the man. Instantly, the man probed her eyes. Dusty felt repelled to this man at first, but she could
not pull away from his gaze.
"Buster's a friend of mine. He's here to fix your little problem," replied Ty.
"I don't have a problem," mentioned Dusty, although Buster's eyes were all she could concentrate on. What the hell is going on?!, she wondered.
"Oh, but you do," mentioned Ty. "You see, Buster deals in hypnotism. My powers only work physically, not mentally. That's where Buster comes in. You seem to
dislike being a girl, and that's wherh rhbr errhrbb rherbher.."
Ty's speech began to drift off into incomprehension as Dusty could not keep her thoughts controlled anymore. She felt so peaceful that she drifted off to what she
thought was sleep.
Ty walked behind Buster, and congradulated his efforts. "Thanks, buddy. You're a peach." He then moved Buster away from Dusty's eyesight, although Dusty
continued to stare in that direction. Sitting in Buster's beanbag, he began to instruct Dusty.
"Your name is Heather. You are a big flirt and a cute little airhead, but you only love me. You do not remember ever being a boy named Dustin, because that would be
silly. You have always been Heather. You know of my powers, but you cannot tell anyone else, for if you try to do so..."
Ty began to think of a suitable punishment. He looked outside the window in the room. Next to the high school was an elementary school. And the first thing he
noticed was a 1st grader walking out of the building in shame, his mother following him. The reason the 1st grader was in shame was because...
Ty grinned and turned back to 'Heather'. "..if you try to do so, you will wet your pants, like a little baby! Not that anyone would trust a pant-wetter in the first place.
Now wake up! It's time for school."
Inside, Heather was fighting the instructions, as they came to her.. I'm not your girlfriend.. I'm.. a boy.... yes... my name is.... but.... it's... Heather.. but I'm a boy...
no.. Heather..is...girl's name.. but... like... duh..of course I am... wait.. no I'm not.. and I don't like.. Ty.. he's..soooo.. twenty minutes ago.. no... I mean.. he's..like...
wow......
"Wake up!" Ty repeated. Heather's eyes shot open, and she stood up, giggling. "Oh, like, sorry, Ty. I guess I was sleeping or something. Come on, let's, like, get out of
here and maybe do something together, ahkay?"
Ty whispered to Buster, "Maybe this wasn't such a good idea."
