"Into a cheeseburger!" gasped Spark, "But… That isn't kosher!"

Heidi scoffed. "You don't have to eat yourself! People aren't kosher either." Spark considered this. She had a point. It wasn't like she chewed on herself regularly anyways.

"But how will that help my dilemma at all? Would I be a walking talking cheeseburger? And even then, who is going to listen to a walking talking cheeseburger?"

"Boy, she asks a lot of questions, doesn't she, Basket?" Basket rolled her eyes.

"You have no idea. Spark, just do it." Spark looked between the two women. This wasn't an endeavor to be taken lightly. Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward.

"Ok. I'll do it."

Spark felt a tingling in her fingers and toes, and looked up at Heidi. Heidi was sitting in a very strange position, but Spark was hardly concerned with this any more, because she had fallen on the floor. Her legs seemed to have been sucked up into her body. She felt nauseous, but her mouth had disappeared. Finally, after what seemed an eternity of bad description, Spark found herself on the floor, looking up at a now huge Basket. Basket reached down and lifted her up.

"Wow, Heidi, that's really great!"

Spark was disconcerted and disoriented. She decided to try to talk.

"UuhhrgrghhHUUUHHHH…"

Well, it was a start.

"UuggrrhhhIwaannnntttSnoddddddyyyyyyyyyyyy"

Basket and Heidi gasped, and looked at each other.

"She can talk? I mean… That's great…" Basket sounded less than excited. Heidi looked like she agreed.

"Puuut me dowwwnn so I can moorrve"

Almost dropping her, Basket placed Spark on the floor. After a few tries, Spark found that she could move, albeit very slowly. She would need other people to carry her for most of her travels.

Heidi clapped her hands once.

"Well, my work here is done. Come back when you want to be human again."

Basket sighed, and picked Spark up again.

"Come on, let's go figure out what use you are as a cheeseburger."

They headed out and started towards Tibby's, where they knew everyone would be.

"Wait, Basket!" said Spark. "Don't tell people I'm a cheeseburger quite yet. Let's just spy for a bit." Basket nodded, and they went the rest of the way in silence.

Once they got there, Basket hid Spark in the pocket of her dress and went to sit near the boys. They were talking about some song they had just sung. Spark really didn't understand them. When no one was looking, Basket put Spark on her plate.

"Hey, Basket! Have you seen Spark anywhere?" Mush shouted out. This was curious; she and Mush had never been particularly close.

"Uhm, no. No, haven't seen her. Not at all."

Mush looked at her strangely, and then looked down at her plate where Spark was sitting.

"That looks good, you gonna eat it?" he said as he reached for her.

"NO!" screamed Basket, and Mush shrugged, reaching for Spark. "I mean NO DON'T EAT IT! IT'S NOT KOSHER!"

Mush blinked at her. "So? I don't care."

"Just don't eat it! Go eat Blink!"

Mush scowled, or at least tried to, and went away.
