"Oh, god," said Joy. "She was right. I really do want you. We ought to change you back now! We can use the fantasy and nightmare machine."
"I don't want to change back to a guy!" said Alison. "I want to stay just as I am with girl hips and a girl hand and girl parts and have you be a guy for me."
"You're just saying that, Alison, because of Karyn's wish."
"Who cares if it's a wish, Joy? It's what I want! Besides, she used the wish on you too. You aren't supposed to want me to be your boyfriend... And I don't want to be your boyfriend. I mean we're friends, but you have about the least you could have and still be called a girl."
"But I do want it, Alison. The feeling is just as real as anything else, wherever it came from. Let me get the machine. It has to be one of us."
Joy got the machine from where she had put it down and set it to "fantasy", pointing it at herself.
"Wait," said Alison.
But Joy had already turned the machine on. The readout described Joys greatest fantasy... "Joy stays exactly as she is now, but Alison changes back into Alan and becomes Joy's boyfriend."
Joy touched the "ACTIVATE" button. In a second, Alan was back to normal.
"How do you feel, Alan?" said Joy.
"I feel, uh, good... Like we should make out now. I don't care any more that you're still mostly Jon...."
