The End

After that long and difficult week, they were able to find a compromise. They agreed to take turns controlling the body, with each getting half the day to do as they pleased. Larkin spent her time in the shadows, practicing her dark magic and avoiding people, while Strider spent her time in the spotlight, flirting and entertaining people with her balloon animals and silly antics.

They learned to appreciate each other's unique strengths and talents. Larkin admired Strider's ability to make people laugh and bring joy to others, while Strider admired Larkin's intelligence and dark mystique.

Eventually, Larkin stopped trying to undo the spell altogether. Instead, she focused on perfecting her dark magic and sharing it with Strider. Meanwhile, Strider quickly adapted to living in a more traditional home away from the circus and was allowed to decorate her side of the room they slept in.

It was a strange existence, but they were learning to live with it. And over time, they could possibly grow to appreciate each other's unique perspectives more. They were still different, and they still fought over things, but they were also a team. A team of two girls, living in one body, trying to make the most of their situation.

Perhaps, in time, they could learn to love each other, one small step at a time.
