"Well they're my books so I get to go first," Rick said with a grin on his face. "And I know just what the first 'problem' I'm going to have fixed is."
"Okay. I'm ready to cast the spell, are you ready to have all your problems solved?"
"Oh, hell yes!" Rick exclaimed a bit louder than necessary. "But, uh, make sure you have the counter spell ready to go. As soon as I state my first 'problem' I want you to read it no matter what happens okay?"
"No problem. Ready or not here comes the magic." Jim said followed by the words of the spell of problem solving.
They both waited to see if anything was going to happen. When a full minute had passed and nothing seemed to happen Rick finally spoke up saying "Man, I thought there would at least have been a sign that the spell worked, like maybe a tingle or something." As soon as he finished speaking Rick felt a strong jolt of electricity throughout his entire body causing him to yelp in pain.
Ricks yelp caused Jim to laugh and jokingly said "Are you sure you want me to cast the counter spell now?"
"Ha. Ha. You are so funny. Wait until I've stated the real 'problem' you ass."
"So what is this oh so huge problem that it takes magic to fix?"
"My biggest problem is that I never get any pussy! I think it sucks that neither of us is gonna get laid tonight. There I'm done, now cast the counter spell quick before I say something stupid."
Quickly Jim cast the spell to stop all of Ricks problems from being fixed by wild and unpredictable magic.
"Damn," Rick swore quietly, "I was hoping some hot cheerleaders from school would instantly show up and throw themselves at us."
"Yeah that would have been awesome. Then again it did take a second for you to feel the 'tingling' after I finished casting the spell, maybe it takes a minute to work out the best way to fix your problem."
"I doubt it, I felt the 'tingle' as you want to call it immediately after I complained about not feeling one."
"I guess so. Does that mean that the spell only solves one problem per casting and not all of them until the counter spell is cast? That would make it a lot safer."
"Yeah, I guess," Rick said in a very disappointed voice looking down at his bedroom floor. With a renewed grin on his face Rick turned to Jim and said "What am I complaining about? It's not like we can't cast the spell again. But first I need to duck out to the bathroom for a second. With all of the excitement I guess I hadn't noticed how much I needed to pee."
"No problem," Jim said, eager for Rick to try the problem solving magic again, after all he had said 'neither of us is going to get laid tonight' which meant that both of them should get laid when that problem was solved. Right?
"I'll be right back," Rick said leaning in to give a slightly startled Jim a quick kiss on the lips as he walked past and out his bedroom door.
'What the hell was that about?' Jim wondered as he watched pull the door closed behind himself as he exited.
