Summary[]
Ashley fantasized about Sarah insisting that Tedd take measurements of her as part of transformation experiments. She decided to come up with fictional characters instead of thinking about her friends that way.[1]
The characters Ashley first came up with were a hunky scientist who resembled Elliot, his assistant who resembled Susan, and a test subject that she initially pictured as herself.[2] When she first though of a story about them, it played out similar to what she previously imagined about Sarah and Tedd, with the scientist suggesting that they take measurements of the test subject and the test subject insisting in a suggestive manner that he should personally take her measurements, causing the scientist and the assistant to blush.[3] Ashley thought more about it and decided to rewrite it to make the test subject's enthusiasm more subtle. While she came up with her story, she was visiting Tedd and Sarah.[4] Ashley was writing her story, where the test subject suggested that the scientist and assistant should have measurements taken of themselves, when Grace arrived.[5] While writing, Ashley accidentally pictured the scientist and assistant as Elliot and Susan.[6]
When Grace asked Ashley what she was writing, Ashley told her about the story even though she would like to lie because she was embarrassed.[7] She denied that it was based on Tedd, Grace and Sarah and also said that she had always imagined transformation stories She also said that nothing like what she was writing would happen to her friends, which made the three others blush.[8] Grace listed things that might happen in Ashley's stories, which made Ashley blush.[9] Ashley noted that Grace is not embarrassed by such things and decided to include a character inspired by Grace in her story.[10] When Ashley tried to picture the new character, she could only picture Grace.[11] She told Grace about her difficulties designing the character, to her own embarrassment,[12] and Grace said that Ashley could start imagining the character as her and let the character change as she got to know her.[13] Grace reassured Ashley that she didn't mind Ashley's feelings about transformation or her writing about them.[14] While Ashley was stunned by Grace's kind words, Elliot entered and Ashley immediately kissed him. Grace reflected on how people often kissed others after talking to her.[15] Tedd told Sarah that Ashley's earlier mention of transformation sphinxes as an example of her stories sounded familiar.[16]
The next night, while lying in bed, Ashley thought more about the personalities and looks of her characters. She decided that the character based on Grace would be oblivious to the embarrassment of others as she could come off as mean if she was as smart as Ashley considered the real Grace to be.[17] She also decided that the character wouldn't be sexually attracted to other people without close emotional bonds, not realizing that the real Grace is like that.[18] Then she redesigned the character's looks, with larger breasts for the potential of envy.[19] Then she redesigned the scientist inspired by Elliot to be androgynous.[20] She redesigned the assistant based on Susan to be shorter and bustier as she considered that look to be better suited to the snarky personality that she intended for the character.[21] She decided that the test subject based on herself would be popular but trying too hard to fit in and hiding her interest in transformation.[22] After she had finished designing her characters, she realized that she had to sleep.[23]
