"Here, give me that," Alicia said as she took the book from Christa. "I've seen this idea in so many movies. It's bound to work."

"All right, what is it?" Christa asked.

"You've been reading the material for about an hour now. The knowledge is swimming around in your mind and you feel frustrated that you don't remember the answers, but I think you do." Alicia grabbed Erica and pulled her into the center of the room. "So what's going to happen is that I'm going to ask you questions from the book. There's no consequence for getting the answer wrong, but for every correct answer, I'm going to take one piece of clothing away from Erica."

"What?!" Erica exclaimed. "I don't agree with this!"

"Shush, you," Alicia responded distractedly. She was completely sold on the plan, and Christa seemed to be, too.

"What about me?" Carrie asked.

"If you want to be part of the motivation, I'm not going to stop you," Christa said before addressing Alicia again. "I accept your proposal. Let's get started."
