"I can call a few of my friends over," Amanda thought to herself. She picked up the phone and called Bethany, a friend she knew since the third grade, and Sarah, a girl she was good friends with ever since they shared the same table in Chemistry class a few years ago.

She decided not to tell either girl what she had found over the phone, because she didn't want them to think she was crazy; or that Amanda secretly planned to test the gun out on one of them first.

A half hour later, they arrived.

"So, what's the big news?" Bethany asked, upon entering the room. Bethany was an average girl, standing about 5'7" tall, weighing about 120 or so. She had blond hair that went down to her shoulders and blue eyes. Her build wasn't muscular, although she always worked out with weights. Nothing heavy, but just enogh to stay in shape.

"Is Sarah here yet?" Amanda replied. "Because I'd rather tell you both at the same time."

"Uh, she should be on her way," Bethany replied.

A few minutes later, Sarah arrived on her bike.

"What's going on?" Sarah said, as she walked into her friend's bedroom. Sarah was pretty much the exact opposite from Bethany, physically, that is. If Bethany was a stereotypical blond skinny girl, than Sarah was the big-boned girl that tried to be friends with everybody. She wasn't terribly fat or anything; just stocky.

She stood about 5'5". Her muscles were pretty large, although there wasn't any definition or anything. She was like an extreme mesomorph, with broad shoulders, wide hips and thick arms. You could tell her body was strong, but because she never lifted weights or went to the gym for any reason, it all looked like fat.

"Okay," Amanda began. "Now, don't freak out or anything. But I found this on the way home from school." She pulled the gun out of her backpack again and showed it to her friends.

Bethany jumped back a little bit, upon first seeing the device.

"It's okay," Amanda reassured her. "It's not a real gun."

"It sure looks real," her skinny friend replied.

"It's not a gun at all," Amanda continued. "But it can change the size of someone's muscles, by either adding to or taking away. The same with a person's height."

"I didn't know what to do with it, because I didn't know if it worked or not. That's why I wanted you two here. You're my best friends and I wanted you to know about this."

"You should turn it in to the government or something," Bethany said, still leery of the device Amanda held in her hands. "What if someone comes looking for it? Then you'll be taken to jail. Or worse."

"Are you crazy?" Sarah replied. "Do you know how much power we could have, if this thing actually works? We could be bigger than any bodybuilder in the world today, literally and otherwise. I'm all for testing this thing right here and right now."

"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity," Sarah continued. "Do you really want to pass it up by turning it in to the government?"

"Well, I guess you're right," Amanda replied, looking quizzically down at the gun. "How do you think this thing works?"

After a few minutes of studying the knobs and making a few adjustments, which they hoped would turn out the way they wanted it to, the girls were ready.

"So, who do I use it on?" Amanda asked.
