Surprise arrival

Peter: What are you saying, Timmy? Why isn't the reversal spell working? Our deal was clear: I'll become your stepmother, go to school, fix whatever you did, and you'll return me to my body! Simple!

Timmy: I've said it about 300 times, I did the incantations right! I even used the translator on my phone to make sure I pronounced it correctly, but the spell keeps failing. I'll try again. Let me translate the instructions for the initial spell...

(Timmy points the camera at the page of the book, and the translator reads it.)

Timmy: Hmm... It says here that the spell will only become permanent if, in the first 24 hours of the transformation, there is... some kind of intimate relationship.

(Timmy looks up, pale.)

Timmy: Dude, that's the only trigger for permanence!

(Peter, now with a smile that mixes frustration and irony, sighs and gestures for Timmy to sit down.)

Peter: Timmy... You better sit down. Remember how you said your dad was out of town?

(Timmy starts to sweat.)

Peter: Well, from what I can see here... I think you can guess who arrived last night, right?

(The tension in the air is palpable, and Timmy starts to connect the dots, horrified.)
