"It's all just a nightmare," Robin thought as she woke up.
"It's all just a nightmare," Robin thought as she rode to school.
"It's all just a nightmare," Robin thought as she entered first period.
"It's all just a nightmare," Robin thought all through the morning until she she, Nikki, Debbi and Bobbi passed the outcasts in the hall.
Robin shuddered. Tanya was still a cow girl - actually a minotaur. Ginni was still an eight foot tall dryad. They were freaks and nobody else seemed to remember that they had been popular girls. It was a nightmare, and it was real!
"Hi girls," Jim said as he passed their lockers.
"Hi, Jim," Tanya said shyly. "Ah, hello," her fellow outcast looked startled that someone was talking to them.
"And how are the cheerleaders feeling this morning?" Jim asked casually as his route took him passed them.
"Far too good to talk to the likes of you!" Nikki sneered. "Why don't you go back to the other freaks."
Debbi and Bobbi laughed along side her, but Robin found another note from the 'coalition of tollerance' and her knees turned to jello. It just wasn't possible was it?
"I was going to ask one of you for a date," Jim said boldly, "but I can see that your still far too bitchy to be nice."
Robin felt a touch of forboding. Two days in a row her one of friends had turned into freaks after snubbing Jim. Could he be somehow involved with the 'coalition of tollerance'? And would 'being nice' to him save another one of her friends?
Jim the nerd was usually crushed by rejection, but as he walked away seeming pleased with himself, Robin realised that he was involved. He couldn't be turning her friends into freaks, but maybe if she was 'nice' to him, whoever was would stop.
"Jim, about that date," Robin began, but as she felt her friends eyes on her she chickened out. She couldn't ask a nerd out on a date in frount of them, she just couldn't. "Dream on looser boy."
She turned to share her friend's chortles, but even as she tried to deny that she'd made a mistake, Nikki began to change. Robin watched in horror as fur spread over her growing friends body until she was just as freakish as Tanya and Ginni. Then she backed away carefully, because Nikki was a seven foot tall werewolf, or would be if she had been standing upright instead of crouching beside her locker and whining.
"Get out of here, bitch!" Debbi snapped.
Nikki was a bitch, Robin realised as Nikki snarled and scampered off on all fours, just as Jim had said. He wasn't just involved as a test, he knew what had been about to happen.
