Hypno Queen of Pinkwhistle High

It was the next day.

Bonnie and Susie weren't sure exactly what had happened. The carnival had seemed to go on for hours and hours, maybe even days, far longer than any normal carnival had a right to go on for. But finally they were done. It was the day after Halloween, and things were normal again.

They met each other at the gates of Pinkwhistle High School, feeling a little sheepish, neither of them wanting to talk about what they were pretty sure had happened the evening before. Both of them secretly hoped that it had all been just a bad dream. It wasn't, but they hoped it was.

Anne-Marie Patchett sat on a bench just inside the school fence, in the shade of a towering oak tree. She was surrounded by cheerleaders, and by a bunch of boys, including both Ben and Hank. She seemed to be explaining something to them.

"...so, afterwards I went and found Trickett and she said I was the most amazingly gifted student she'd ever meet, and she could teach me all of it in a day or so. Isn't that neat? Anyway, I made it so they won't even realise until they get to school."

Bonnie frowned. Who was Trickett? The name rang a bell, but somehow she couldn't place it. And why was Hank looking at her like that? She didn't even think he was cute. Something was off about this whole situation.

"The best part is, it happens the same way each day. Every night they'll forget, no matter how hard they try, and every morning..."

Anne looked up at Bonnie and Susie, grinning nastily. "Oh, hello, girls," she said. "Early today. Forgotten something?"

Bonnie blinked in confusion, trying to think of something clever to say. Beside her, Susie was doing much the same thing. She had just noticed that all the cheerleaders were holding cameras.

She looked down.

She shrieked, and threw her hands over her body, struggling to conceal her full breasts and unruly ginger bush as all the cheerleaders pointed and cackled, the boys wolf-whistling as cameras flashed to immortalise her shame. This couldn't be happening! It had to be a nightmare! But if there was one thing she was completely sure about, it was that this was 100% completely real life.

"Hey, everyone!" shouted Anne, heads turning across the school grounds as her voice carried far and wide. "Bonnie Driscoll's here! And she's NAKED!"
