Jon thought for a while. "Well," he said. "What if we tried taking them off at the same time? Karyn didn't say anything about that."
"That might work... but if it doesn't it means that one or both of us are stuck as girls," said Alan.
"Well, at least we can try," said Jon.
"Yeah, i guess."
"Ok, on three. One, two, three!!"
Both the boys started taking of their disguises at once, and...the boys slid their shirts off at nearly the same time. Nearly.
"Did it work?" asked Alan.
"I think so." said Jon. All of a sudden Jon's chest ballooned out to fill the C- cup bra he was wearing. "Ahhh!!"
What had happened was that Jon had taken off his shirt a split second after Alan, meaning that he was the one who would transform. It was impossible to take off their disguises at exactly the same time.
"Crap. I'm real sorry, Joy," said Alan.
"Nothing we can do about it," said Joy. "We've got to get that stone back."
"Let's do it," said Alan. "You know, we make a great team."
"Yeah..." agreed Joy. "Even if I look like a guy with fake hair, breasts, and hips. We're still best friends." Her voice, which hardly sounded different from her male one since her voice wasn't really disguised, trailed off. "I... No, we can't..."
"Is something the matter, Joy? I know being a girl like this must be hard to handle."
"I'm just feeling confused, Alan," replied Joy. "But I'm happy that you understand."
"Yeah," replied Alan, trying to comfort his friend. "We'd better see what we can do about the stone first, though."
