"How," inquired Jim, honestly interested in what his friend had cooked up.
"Pssshh," laughed Rick who then closed the blinds to his window, hiding the broken pane of glass. "Pester my little sister of course. What else do big brothers do best? Might as well start off small and then work our way up."
"That's it? I thought you would have something REALLY good cooked up. I mean, it was your idea to feed the 4-H Club's chickens laxatives and then let them loose in the school hallways for last year's school prank."
"Well, I tell you what," countered Rick. "I'll have fun with my sister while you go and do whatever you think is cooler. We'll meet back here around six and then decide who spent their time better. Nothing at stake except pride." Rick knew that his idea to aggravate his sister with his new found power wasn't that great of an idea but he did know that it was better than anything Jim could come up with or have the nerve to pull off. More than likely he would be invisible standing in the middle of the supermarket. Rick offered his hand out to Jim to seal the deal.
"Alright," said Jim, realizing that he would have to come up with something good. He shook Rick's hand cinching the deal.
Roughly ten minutes after Jim left the house to go on his own adventure Rick stealthily made his way downstairs to the living room to put his plan into effect. He was still visible at the moment but that was soon about to change. He crept up behind his sister who was sitting at the couch watching television with her bare feet propped up on the coffee table. She was in a perfect position for Rick to give her a "Ghostly Wet Willy" or to put his invisible butt up to her face and let one rip.
Now that his sister was within ten feet of him he closed his eyes and inched towards her as he imagined himself blending in with his surroundings. He opened his eyes when he felt a shiver go through his body like an electric shock. He expected to see himself turn transparent but instead he saw his skin take on a strange pattern of white and pink that criss-crossed his skin.
"What's going on," wondered Rick. "Is my invisibilty power more like a chameleon's than Invisible Woman's? If so, what am I blending in with?"
Rick's confusion increased as he saw the living room grow at a startling rate. His nostrils were greeted by a powerful blast of sour B.O. that seemed to emanate from him. He felt his mouth being forced open far past a normal human's limit as his esophagus and stomach widened. His body convulsed and writhed uncontrollably as his body part's shifted and changed. A great force pulled at him from both sides as he felt his body give way and split right down the middle.
Rick's spastic movements and contortions came to a sudden halt, leaving him confused and unable to move. He opened his eyes, even though he couldn't feel them, to see that the living room was now huge. He looked down at himself to see white shoe laces stitched across his chest and a pink Nike swoosh off to his left and right sides. Speaking of sides, Rick discovered that he was now in two pieces instead of one whole.
Sensing that something odd was going on right behind her, Rebecca turned around and scannned the living room only to find that nothing was out of place... with the exception of her sneakers that she had left on the floor right behind the couch. She didn't remember leaving them there, but it wouldn't be the first time that she left them behind the couch to her parents annoyment. Looking at her watch she realized that she needed to get going if she was going to meet her friend Cindy at the mall.
Rick almost panicked when he saw his sister get up off the couch and walk right towards him while concentrating her gaze on him. He saw her feet walk up to him and then stop, he then felt himself being lifted up and carried back to the couch.
"Oh shit," thought Rick, "I've been turned into my sisters shoes." Rick finally realized what had happened. When he activated his invisibility power he literally blended in with his surroundings by changing into something that wouldn't look out of place in those surroundings. The invisibility power that the leprechaun gave to Jim and him wasn't some poof spell out of a comic book, it was an advanced form of camouflage that made you a part of the surroundings.
"Fuck that little asshole. I knew that I shouldn't have trusted him," screamed Rick mentally, feeling stupid since every leprechaun story he knew involved them tricking a human in some way without being outright deceptive (the little man never went into the specifics of how the invisibilty worked).
"Double shit! Jim doesn't know about this and he's going God-know's-where to do his 'disappearing act'."
Rick tried to will himself back to normal, he had to warn Jim, but to his dismay he couldn't become 'visible' again as long as his sister was around. He wouldn't be able to change back until his sister put him down and left the room and he had to contact Jim A.S.A.P. to warn him. Rick's worries for Jim were quickly replaced with concerns for his own welfare as he felt a sock clad foot plunge through his mouth and deep into him. His arms were tied into a neat little knot and he felt the wiggling of toes where his bowels should of been. The process was repeated with his other "half" as he realized that his sister had every intention of putting him to use.
