"Yes, I still have the Babe Gun." the now beautiful Becky Rodder replied. "But do you really think I'm going to just hand it over?"
"I think you should." Nicole said.
"No, I think I'll hang on to it for a while." Becky Rodder said. "There are so many people here who are picked on for their appearances. Either they're overweight, or they're pimply, or just considered dull-looking by the 'in crowd'. With this, I can do them all favors and make THEM the beautiful people. In fact, I was hoping to find Gladys Brewer and zap her with it, but apparently she's absent today."
"Look, we're trying to get as many of these Transformation Guns as we can so they don't screw things up any more." the transformed Brad Stephens replied.
"I know. You're going to go on and on about how these things shouldn't fall into the wrong hands, blah blah blah." Becky Rodder said. "And yes, I know what's happening around here. I've seen people zapped with the Goth Gun and turned into Goths. I even saw a few kids who were terrible at sports get zapped with the Jock Gun and now they look like they could try out for any of our sports teams. And yes, I've heard about the Nerd Gun, the Hippie Gun, and the Slut Gun, too."
"We already confiscated those." Nicole said. "The principal has them under lock and key. We're still looking for the Goth Gun and the Jock Gun."
"What about the Hillbilly Gun?" Becky Rodder said. "Mike 'Moose' Matthews got zapped with it, and now he's calling for a hoedown in the cafeteria."
"We can get to that one later. The point is, we need you to give us the Babe Gun." Nicole said.
"Why?" Becky Rodder replied. "The two of you look reasonably attractive already."
"It's ... for a friend." Nicole decided she was not going to embarass Melissa Smith by mentioning her by name. "She got hit with the Fat Gun, and the Babe Gun might restore her to her former self. Or something close enough."
"Really?" Becky Rodder raised an eyebrow. "And why should I help? Chances are she's one of those who used to pick on me back when I was fat and ugly."
Nicole realized this negotiation was probably going to take a while. She wondered what the others were doing now, as she pondered the best argument.
