everyone starred at zack in disbelief and admiration Zack, I hardly recognized you. You look... different. Good different! Just wanted to say sorry for before, man.
he tilts his head slightly, trying to understand what Aron is saying
Zack, I have to say this, I'm a bit surprised by your transformation. I mean, from what I remember, you weren't exactly the most confident guy in school. But look at you now! whistles appreciatively You've really come into yourself. Is there any secret behind this glow-up, my man?
Well, spill the tea, my dude! I need to know the secret behind your transformation. Did you hire a personal trainer? Start hitting the gym?
No, I’m pretty sure the person who gave me this glow up is right here. he says gesturing towards Aron.
laughs nervously Oh, come on, man. You can't be serious. I mean, I appreciate the sentiment, but I didn't do anything to help you with your glow-up. It's all you, buddy. smiles reassuringly
…this might be bad… he said hesitantly as he slowly turned back into himself.
Wait, wait, wait! grabs Stranger's arm Don't change back! Not yet, at least. I want to see this transformation up close. It's amazing, man. Please, just give me a moment more to take it all in. looks at Stranger with wide eyes, admiring his new look
Aron… he looks down at the floor, then back up at him. I turned myself into a toy doll….. A living Barbie doll.
Whoa, hold up! You turned yourself into a... living Barbie doll? That's quite the transformation, man. But hey, if that's what you want, then more power to you! I can see the confidence radiating from you now. smiles genuinely
I….shouldn’t have……. he looked at his hands.
Hey, hey now, don't beat yourself up over it. We all make mistakes, right? And hey, look at you now!
But…what if I hurt someone? What if I can’t fix it? his eyes widened, knowing what he had done.
Listen, I get it. Transformation can be powerful, but it's not without its risks. But here's the thing, my friend.
If you're worried about hurting someone or not being able to fix things, then we'll figure it out together.
Of course, man! I'm here for you. We'll find a way to reverse whatever happened and make sure nobody gets hurt. puts a reassuring hand on Stranger's shoulder We'll figure this out together, no matter what it takes. So, first things first, let's start brainstorming some ideas, yeah? What do you think we should do?
It’s not something that can be reversed….but at least we can try to make this better. he sighed as he put away his makeup bag.
Alright, let's start by finding out exactly what happened and how we can fix it. pauses, thinking deeply Maybe we can consult someone who specializes in transformations like yours.
How do you feel about makeup?..and skin care?
Oh, man, makeup and skincare? Count me in! I may not be an expert, but I love learning new things. Plus, I'm always up for a good pampering session. grins playfully
Even…changing people’s appearances?
pauses, contemplating Changing people's appearances... It's a big responsibility, man. We have to be careful and make sure we're not playing God.
Not permanent changes. Temporary. For pictures, maybe. An event, maybe. Or just to feel good about oneself for the day. It wouldn’t be too much, would it?
You know what? I think that's a great idea. Temporary transformations can be a fun way to boost confidence and make special moments even more memorable.
Alright, so we've got a plan. First, we'll find someone who specializes in temporary transformations.
Temporary transformations, huh? Anyone you have in mind?
Well, I happen to know a magician who specializes in illusions and transformations. His name is Damian.
Damian, huh? Should I know the name?
chuckles Oh, you'll definitely know him once you see his tricks. Damian is famous for his mind-blowing illusions and transformations.
