Nicole was now accompanied by Brad Stephens, the hockey captain transformed into an attractive Asian girl.
In the halls, they noticed something strange. An attractive young woman about Nicole's age they had never seen before was standing near a locker, admiring herself in a hand mirror. Something about her seemed familiar, though.
"Excuse me," Nicole said. "But you wouldn't happen to know anything about any Transformation Guns, would you?"
The girl laughed. "Now why would you ask a question like that?"
"Look around you." Nicole said. "By now, the whole school must know what's going on. Weird ray guns have shown up all over the school, each of them with their own strange effects. We know there's a Goth Gun and a Jock Gun out there somewhere, and we've confiscated a few other guns already."
"All right." the beautiful girl replied, smiling radiantly. She looked like she could be a movie star. "I admit it. I'm Becky Rodder."
Both Nicole and Brad gasped. "Becky Rodder? But isn't she the fattest, nerdiest girl in school?" Brad asked. "What kind of ray did YOU get hit with?"
"The Babe Gun." Becky Rodder replied, with a shake of her beautiful blonde hair. She continued to admire her reflection.
"Do you still have it?" Nicole asked. Nicole thought of Melissa Smith, the fashionable cheerleader who had been struck with the 'Fat Gun'.
This could be what Melissa's looking for!, Nicole thought to herself.
"Why do you want to know?" Becky asked. "I mean, you're both looking pretty good already."
"We've been authorized by Principal Davison to track down and confiscate all the Transformation Guns. In this crisis, he's sort of acting like our Commissioner Gordon or Nick Fury." Nicole replied.
Becky laughed. "Since when did you make geeky references?"
"Since the Geek Gun zapped me. Long story." Nicole replied. "The question is, do you still have the Babe Gun?"
