Ryan nodded. "I'm happy with being a big guy. Make it permanent." Peter and Steve nodded in approval, and Madame Illusia turned to the other two subjects.
"And you?" She asked.
"We'd... uh, like to change back." The larger of the two said. "This is a little too much."
Madame Illusia nodded. "Very well. Wait to the side, and I'll change you back once I'm done with these three." They nodded, and Illusia turned back to Ryan. "Are you sure about this?" She asked. "I will not be able to change you back once it's done."
"I'm sure." Ryan said. Illusia smiled, then raised her hands and closed her eyes, then began chanting. Peter and Steve stiffened, and their eyes got a glazed-over look. Smoke began circling their bodies, and their loose clothes shimmered and changed into more form-fitting outfits - Peter became dressed in a plaid shirt, while Steve's clothes changed into a black singlet and a pair of shorts. The smoke, it's work done, then swirled around Ryan. His tight clothes faded, then morphed and grew to suit his larger size. His shirt transformed into a massive stretchy singlet, and his pants grew a pair of suspenders that looped themselves over his massive shoulders. Ryan's head was suddenly filled with new memories - he remembered joining the wrestling team in high school, then letting himself go once school ended. His friends had grown with him, but none of them were even close to his size... the new memories took their places beside his original memories, and the smoke faded. Madame Illusia lowered her hands, and Steve and Peter relaxed and looked themselves over.
"It is done." She announced. "I hope you enjoy your new lives." She nodded to the three men, then turned and made her way over to the other two subjects. Ryan made his way back around to the front of the stage, where his friends were waiting. They were all much larger than they had been when Ryan had last seen them - all of his previously fit friends now sported small beer-bellies, though none of them compared to Ryan's own mammoth gut.
"So, what'd the lady want?" Albert asked.
"She just asked me if I was happy with my change." Ryan replied.
"What change?" Albert frowned. "You didn't switch with anyone - you just went on stage with those other guys and stood there for a few minutes."
Ryan nodded. "Oh. Yeah, right." His stomach growled loudly. "Do you know where the nearest food stall is?"
