Set up something new

After the girls danced a bit, John snapped them back into trance, including Anne and Salma. He had about an hour left on the show, so he wanted to make the most of it.

"Ladies," said John. "The four of you are actresses, so I want you to act like you're high school girls I've called up here. Now, here's how things will play out. Salma, Jessica, and Brie, you're part of the popular clique, and Anne will be the nerd you've been harassing for the past few months. Anne, you'll be the hypnotist, and you'll hypnotize brie, Jessica, and Salma. And you other three will go under with little resistance."

The girls nodded as John continued.

"Here's the fun part. Anne, any orders you give the other three, you'll follow yourself. If you give them three separate orders, you'll combine the three to the best of your abilities. Understand?"

The girls nodded. John woke them. Jessica, Brie, and Salma looked at Anne with disdain.

"Like, OMG," Jessica said with a slight airheadedness to her tone. "What's the loser nerd obsessed with magic doing here?"

Anne said nothing, instead swinging the watch John had provided her in front of the other three's faces.
