I sat in my dorm room, reading one of my textbooks waiting for Will and Greta to show up. Will had been my best friend since day one at Tetrade, we’ve always been partners in crime, except we don’t really commit any crimes, save for messing around with an illicit potion every now and then. Greta is his girlfriend, and she is a bit eccentric, but a nice person nonetheless. She always wore one of those big pointy witch hats, so I always had a hunch she both expected and hoped for this place to be exactly like Hogwarts.
Finally, I hear a knock on the door, “Who is it?”
“Greta the Great and her sidekick, Will the Adequate!” I heard a proud female voice announce. She referred to herself as that, because you know, eccentric. That and ‘Greta’ and ‘Great’ conveniently have the same letters in them. Will was less than amused with his nickname.
“Come on in,” I say, closing the textbook and placing it on my desk.
The couple walks in and Will closes the door behind them. “You said I was more than Adequate last night!”
“I was faking it, dear.”
Sure enough, Greta had her trademark hat. She also had glasses and hair dyed some unnatural shade of red. No idea what her natural color was. Aside from that, I thought she had a nice figure, but lacked some of the curvature that made me go crazy for Emily. Will was a tad shorter and bulkier than myself, and had wavy, dirty blonde hair.
“So, you said your brother sent you another experiment? What is it?” Will asked, pretending he didn’t hear Greta’s last comment.
“Ah, yes,” I replied. I guided them both in front of my bed, with their backs to my closet door, and had them stand side by side. I knelt down and reached under my bed, carefully grabbing a hold of something, and then slowly stood up. Now in position, I quickly turned around.
“BOO!” Emily’s head, which now rested in my hands, yelled.
“OH SHIT!” Will screamed, Greta simply let out a high pitch squeal.
Just then, the two of them felt someone poking their shoulders, which prompted them to turn around and see Emily’s body, who had sneaked out of the closet, waving happily at them. This caused them to let out another round of profanity and screaming, and we all heard an angry knock on the wall from the neighboring dorm room with an accompanying yell to keep the noise down. Me and Emily were laughing our asses off while Will and Greta were practically hyperventilating. I high-fived my headless friend and handed her head to her her, which she tucked under her arm.
“W-what the hell is going on here?” Will asked nervously.
“My brother’s invention, it cuts people without hurting them.” I explained.
“And you can still control... yourself?” Greta asked Emily.
“Yup, but it takes some getting used to. My body fell right over and I had to relearn how to walk without my head attached.”
“Can I try?” Greta turned to me.
