After leaving the store, Amy and Lina went back to their neighborhood where they went their separate ways. Amy
went to her empty house (her family wasn’t home for the week and she had the house to herself) and quickly
went to her room with the box of pearls. Remembering the instructions the old man mentioned, and she opened
the box to find a slip of paper. She took it out and read.
Hello young one,
Thank you for purchasing this box of magic pearls. What you hold now is an instruction manual for using these
pearls properly for its full effect.
First you must submerge yourself in warm water.
Then you must take a single pearl, and devour it whole.
After this you will feel a warm sensation in your body, and you must wait until the effects of the pearl stop
completely.
Once that happens, you may repeat the process at any time for more effects.
As soon as you are dry, all of the effects of the pearls will be reversed, but may come back again when you
are both submerged and are willing it.
Thank you again, and I hope you enjoy your new experience.
“What in the world?” Amy said to herself. “This is ridiculous. Then again, I did buy this at a “magic shop”
for $40. I guess I should just try it.”
Amy then took the box to her bathroom, and turned on the warm water in the bath tub. As the tub filled, she
took off her clothes until she was completely nude. Amy then took stepped into the tub and quickly took a dip
in it. Now completely wet, she took a pearl out of the box, and looked at it.
“Here goes nothing,” Amy said, taking a deep breath and putting the pearl in her mouth.
It was hard to swallow, but she slowly pulled through, and managed to swallow the pearl whole, gagging a
little.
A minute later, after catching her breath, she suddenly felt a warm sensation.
