Rachel inside Orchid gasped in shock when she slid the zipper down Jim's naked, wet torso as he stepped from the shower and his fleshy, latex body hit the tile with a sloppy wet sound revealing a very dry, young female rabbit in a white dress and her ears tied with a bow. "Meiou?!", she asked in surprise. "Where's Jim?!"
Meiou laughed and said "I switched with him back at our place while Sthyth was making his exit. It was really a simple spell, just a trifle really. Sthyth took him when he left I'm sure."
Rachel was horrified, she had actually started to like Jim after their encounter in the bathroom and now she had discovered that it hadn't been him talking at all, but Meiou in disguise. "You gave him to Sthyth? He'll kill him."
"Oh..well...no.", said Meiou as he now unzipped the young rabbit suit he was wearing revealing the crimson eyed, dark haired wizard from before. "I don't think he will. Sthyth's mission isn't to kill me, he only wants to detain me for awhile, find out what I know about all those transforming suits, find out how I made them."
Rachel/Orchid was still aghast. "Jim doesn't know about any of that stuff, and won't Sthyth realize he's an imposter?"
Meiou looked at Rachel/Orchid and clucked his tounge in a tsk, tsk type of manner. "Silly girl, I switched bodies with Jim. He's really inside that little rabbit girl I was wearing. That was a real body I created for myself. No zips, no velcro, just science and a mind swapping spell. Sthyth and the others will be delayed for some time before they find out what happened, and by that time I'll have found a way to get him out of trouble. Besides, I had to be at this meeting without anyone knowing. Not Rick, not Cheyenne, and not Jim."
Rachel was now even more confused than ever (oh...but not as confused as our poor hero Jim.) Meiou put the Aluara costume back, dressed herself/himself, and packed the Jim suit and the bunny girl suit in one of the suitcases. Rachel watched him as he was doing this and still couldn't think of anything to say then...
