Jon's personality was deeply buried in Bambi--well, in both Bambis now--but it kept coming to the surface every so often. And Jon didn't really like having sex with a guy.
But just maybe, he had a way out.
He had to act as Bambi. He didn't have any choice. But there were several things that Bambi might do, and some of them weren't things that the salesman wouldn't like. And the particular Jon/Bambi who wasn't wearing the Envy Skull saw his chance.
The wish that had created Bambi said that she had nothing on her mind but guys and clothes and looking good. The important part was the "guys".
That had been modified a bit by later wishes, but Bambi still really liked guys. In fact, she liked guys so much that she might even use a wish to get one. For instance, to change the other Bambi into a guy.
So it wouldn't be out of character for Bambi to say--"I wish that I turned into the guy you're thinking of."
It worked. Jon/Bambi said it. And the wish went off--though of course it didn't transform him/herself, it transformed the other Bambi.
"Ssh," said (the other) Jon. "Bambi, you don't want to wake up your husband, do you?"
"Of course not," said Bambi, giggling.
"I haven't hurt you, have I?" said Jon. "Bambi, you have to trust me. Make exactly the wish I tell you and don't think about it, okay."
"Okay..." said Bambi.
"Here's the wish. And remember, don't think about it! I wish you had Jon's mind but loved only me. And I wish we were in my bedroom."
"I wish you had Jon's mind but loved only me. And I wish we were in my bedroom."
As soon as the wishes took effect, Jon was in his bedroom, still wearing the Envy Skull. Bambi was next to him, a little confused.
"I'm glad we can think again," said Bambi. "My plan worked... but one thing I don't understand. What was the reason for doing it that way, anyway?"
"What, you mean why I made you love me?"
"Yeah."
"You don't mind," asked Jon. "Do you?"
"Of course I don't mind!" replied Bambi. "I love you... you're who I used to be. I know you inside and out... it's easy to love you."
"That's good," said Jon. "You see, it would be a problem for there to be two of us around. So we couldn't both become Jon. You have your mind back, but there had to be a reason for you to stay Bambi."
Bambi smiled happily at Jon and said "Yeah, let's tell Karyn we're okay."
