The Old Man bowed to Sharon, asking "So, I see you're enjoying your Token of Hearts Desire..."
"Oh yes! I bought one of those here didn't I? It's just the BEST! Do you have anything else fun?"
"Well, there's these toas..." the Old Man started.
"OH NO YOU DON'T. Sharon you can't trust this guy." Jim vaulted into the conversation.
"There you go being rude again." the Old Man shot back.
"But Jimmy-wimmy, the token was the bestest thing ever."
"Oh sure, if you want to be an 800 pound whale your whole life." Jim sneered.
"That hurts." Sharon pouted, "I thought you liked the real me?"
"Look, Sharon, whatever you want I want. But this isn't you. A month ago I'm sure you would have hated gaining so much weight. I don't want some magic twisting you into something you're not."
"Oh, but it didn't twist her." the Old Man continued, "She's always wanted this. This is Sharon's truest desire."
"Yeah, this is definitely what I wanted. It's even better now that I've got it." Sharon had stopped crying. "I love waking up and fighting gravity. Eating anything and everything I want. Being special, no one else is as big as me. Indulging! Each day is an accomplishment and full of new experiences."
"No, no, no. I won't accept it. You didn't want to worry about what you ate, not be so huge it didn't matter!"
"Look, you can't blame Sharon for what she wanted. Jim, you're the one who has the problem with it."
