The Spirit of Temptress

Van: *heads to DV's apartment*

*DV smiles as she sees Van*

DV: Hi sweetie.

Van: how ya doing babe?

*DV smiles*

DV: I'm good thanks.

*She sees Van looking at her in an odd way*

DV: What's up?

*Van holds her hair*

DV: Would you ever consider putting your hair up in a ponytail?

MEANWHILE...

*Penny wakes up and yawns*

Penny: Ooh...still so tired...

*Penny grins*

Penny: Hang on, I've got machines. I don't have to get up at all!

Van: just asking

*snaps fingers calling over one of my worker bots* ^_^ Get me something to drink! Please.

LATER...

*DV sees Van at a computer*

DV: What are you doing?

*Sees Van is looking at pictures of Amber*

DV: What is up with you? You're...

*She suddenly realises*

DV: I knew it. You're not over her...

MEANWHILE...

*Carmy smiles as she eats lunch*

Carmy: It was lovely of you to buy me lunch Amber.

Amber: Well I thought you could use cheering up.

Carmy: W...What do you mean?

Amber: I heard about Penny's antidote or...lack thereof.

Carmy: WHAT?

Amber: She tried Carmy. Nothing works. You're stuck and you're only going to get bigger.

*Carmy is in tears, eating furiously as she does so*

Carmy: NO!

Van: i swear i am...er was...er...i don't know anymore

*Elsewhere*

Penelope: *being catered to by her own machines* Man why didn't I think of this sooner? *takes a bite out of her sandwich* This is how someone with MY technical expertise should be living. ^_^

*DV turns her back on Van*

DV: Well come back to me when you've made up your mind Van.

MEANWHILE INSIDE AMBER'S MIND...

*Amber looks on in horror*

Amber: You...you utter b...

Temptress: I know you are but what am I? That's right YOU.

Amber: But this is sick! Carmy's heartbroken and about to superbinge,
Van and DV are breaking up because of me, while Penny has become
immobilised!

Temptress: Not a bad first day, eh?

*Back with Penny*

Penelope: Ugh....HIC!....I really need to cut back on the soda...*rubs her stomach* Oh man what time is it? *she looks at her clock* Oh nuts 5: 40? I should probably get to work....

Amber: get out of my body!

*Temptress laughs*

Temptress: Ooh gee let me think...no.

*She ponders this*

Temptress: Ah that's a point. Need to get rid of your psychic friend, she could
ruin the whole game.

Amber: Yeah Vibes will see right through you.

*Temptress grins*

Temptress: Ah I have it...

THE NEXT DAY..

*Fiona and Vibes are being take to an All You Can Eat restaurant*

Fiona: You're treating us to lunch? What's the occasion?

Amber: Well it's been a while since we hung out together.

Announcer: Hello everyone! Today whoever finishes The Championchip Platter will win
a special prize!

*Amber grabs Fiona and Vibes*

Fiona: I am so going to win that prize!

Vibes: Not before me, I'm the eating contest champ!

*Temptress laughs at the horrified Amber*

Temptress: Knew Vibes couldn't resist a challenge...

Fiona: No way! Elasticity! I can,easily hold more than you! XD

*Amber smiles*

Vibes: Well I guess we'll find out!

Amber: Ladies, start your gorging!

*Vibes and Fiona both grab armfuls of food*

Vibes: SPEED MODE!

*They both furiously gobble food*

Amber: NO!! *struggles to move her massive form* you can't do this

*Temptress laughs*

Temptress: I knew their competitive streak would get the better of them. By the time they figure
out what's happened it'll be too late and they won't be able to help your friends.
Oh and I think our next stop will have to be a quick trip to see Guillermo...

*Amber gasps*

Amber: No...not them too!

Temptress: When he sees the note Sal has left him he is going to be heartbroken!

Amber: don't you dare you....you....ugh...my head.......feeling....fuzzy *is getting weaker from temptress's hijacking* can't...think.....

*Temptress grins smugly as she squeezes Amber's cheeks*

Temptress: Oh you poor bloated creature- as I get stronger you get weaker.
Pretty soon Amber will be gone and I will take over your body forever!

MEANWHILE...

*DV is angrily smashing up a restaurant*

Sal: This is looking a lot like henchwoman behaviour DV!

DV: Oh naff off Girl Scout.

*Sal dodges her swinging her pole*

Sal: OK now I'm worried. For all your faults you're not a psycho!

DV: Van cheated on me! He's obsessed with Amber!

Sal: Are you kidding me? He loves you.

DV: He basically admitted it, even tried to get me to wear a ponytail.

Sal: OK that is weird. But this has gone far enough...

*Sal then dodges a hook gun blast*

G: YOU AND SLY?!

Sal: OK something very, very weird is going on...

Amber: n...no...sal...guh

*Sal looks baffled*

Sal: G, what the heck are you talking about?

*G produces a note. Sal is horrified*

Sal: Oh no...I'd better find Carmy before she does something stupid!

G: You're going nowhere Sal until you explain yourself!

*Sal then sees the look in G and DV's eyes*

Sal: Wait, I've seen that look before...Temptress!


MEANWHILE AT INTERPOL...

*Carmy reads a note*

Carmy: "...I saw what has happened to you. You are not the woman I fell in love with.
See ya, Sly"

*Carmy bursts out crying and grabs more food*

Carmy: He...he's dumped me!

Van: argh. why can't i get Amber out of my head

*Temptress smiles*

Temptress: Yes Van, obey your one and only love. Do my bidding!

*Van double souls Temptress instantly*

Van: Yes my love, I will do all you command...

Van: *walks off*

Amber: n......o.......

*Temptress grins*

Temptress: Yes, now with my power Van will get my work done twice as fast!

MEANWHILE...

*Sal is trying to fight off G and DV*

Sal: You...you have to listen to me, Temptress has enslaved you both!

G: We won't listen to you, you disgusting creature.

DV: Yeah, why don't you go and eat some doughnuts, tubbo?

*They both laugh at her*

Sal: Will you two listen to yourselves? It's like she's programmed you!
