Irma was only slightly surprised when she discovered that the floating sensation she'd just been enjoying wasn't just because Will happened to be a good kisser - but because she was creative. Looking down, she found herself in her Guardian apparel, and Will stepped back with her hands on her hips and a smile that plainly said "I win".
"I have to admit, that was pretty clever."
"Yeah, I thought so too."
"Really though, I wanted you to see..." Irma's demeanor changed drastically; it might have been the first time in her life she looked intentionally coy. "I mean, you do think I'm pretty, don't you?"
"No way." Will waved her hand and made a face. "Didn't you know I only kiss ugly girls?"
"Y'know, you are so close to getting a bath right here and now..."
"It's okay, I could probably use one."
Irma sighed, then reached over and touched the tiny bulge under Will's shirt that was obviously the Heart. "Okay, can I get back to my seduction now?" She leaned close with a sly smile that could have won awards. "I haven't exactly got all night."
If Irma's smile was sly, Will's was positively devious. "Actually, you do have all night. When your mom answered the phone, I told her the homework was a doozie, and that it might take all night to manage, so I asked if you could stay over in case it went extra hours." She paused for dramatic effect. "And of course, I cleared it with my mom before I even asked."
The silence stretched a moment with neither girl so much as changing expression.
"You're serious, aren't you?"
"One hundred percent", Will replied.
Irma finally lost the smirk, collapsed into Will's arms, and proceeded to laugh her metaphorical head off. "Will, I have to hand it to you. You've got some real brains under that pretty red mop-top of yours."
Will responded by poking Irma's exposed midriff. "...and speaking of 'under'..." She touched the spot where the Heart hung beneath her shirt, and with a shimmer, Irma's Guardian attaire faded away, leaving her in a pair of shorts and a tube top.
"So", the brown-haired girl said, "what do you think?"
It was Will's turn for a chuckle. "I think I've been had once again."
"Well, after you made me kiss that frog and there was no prince, what was I supposed to do?"
"I dunno, maybe accept that I won?"
"Ha! That might be the funniest thing I've ever heard!" Irma stepped away and pointed at Will with a smile. "Even if you're learning from me, I've got a lot more tricks up my sleeve."
"You mean up your lack of sleeves?"
"Yeah, that's what I meant."
"So then...?"
"So then."
"Cookies?"
"Heck yeah."
