"Say Jenny, Abby said as they got back to the aprtment the four girls shared, 'did you freshen up your lipstick at the club? It was pretty dark, cause it looks like you missed a spot."
"What do you mean?" Jennifer asked, completely unaware of a red dot at the end of her nose.
"There," pointed Carrie. "You've got a little red nose."
"What?"
"Oh yeas," giggled the usually shy MAry. "And it's getting bigger." For the red dot was spreading over Jennifer's face, making her entire nose red-and swelling up into a ball. "That's very good. How are you doing it?"
"I'm not doing it," Jennifer retorted.
"Oh really?" smiled Abby as she took out a compact from her purse. "Have a look." Jennifer gazed into the small mirror and gasped. "Oh no, I've got a red nose!" she squealed, unaware of a goofy lilt creeping into her frightened voice.
"She looks like Bozo the clown!" cackled Mary, who reach out with her right hand. "Let me touch it!"
"No! screamed Jennifer, who swatted her friend's hand away. "Don't touch it!"
"Oh c'mon, Jen," said Abby, "don't be a spoil sport. "She gave Jennifer's nose a poke. HONK! "You really are a clown!"
Get away from me!" Jennifer sqealed as she ran into her room. That guy at the nightclub, she though frantically as she went through her purse, he must have put something in my drink!
She found the card he'd given her. Dialling the number on her cell phone, she waited axciously until she heard a reply. "Hello Transpharmaceuticals. Mike speaking."
"What'd you put in my drink?" Jennifer cried. "I've got a big red nose!"
"Yes, that should be the first stage."
"Stage? What's happening to me?!"
"Isn't it obvious Jennifer?" the british-accented voice said, eerily calm. "You're becoming a clown."
"What! I don't want to be a clown!"
"Well I do have the cure!"
"Give it to me!"
"I will. Just come down to the lab tomorrow. Bring you're friends. We'll have them drugged, then take some pictures. After that, we'll give you the antidote, and the four of you will be free to go."
"Wait, you mean you want my friends to turn into clowns two?"
"But of course. Don't worry, after the photoshoot we'll return you to normal and we'll be out of your lives forever."
Mike hung up. Jennifer set down her cell phone and started to cry, when all of a sudden she noticed her feet were killing her. She took of her shoes, and saw her feet were now three times as long.
