Jenny was quickly infatuated with the strange bottle, just like Jessica had been.
"Let me see it!" Jenny demanded, excitedly!
"Not so fast! I found it!"
"Well, then what are you going to do with it? Use it on something or give it to me! I want to see what it does!"
"What are YOU going to do with it? What are you going to test it on, Jenny?"
"I don't know... maybe..." the unnatural excitement faded from her eyes momentarily as Jessica's question forced her to think rationally about this otherwise irrational impulse. "Maybe... try to stick my fingers together or something?" she finished, as the spell regained its influence on her.
Somehow, the idiocy of Jenny's idea was lost on both of them.
"That's a good idea! Hold on, let me do it first."
"No, give it to me! It was MY idea! You don't get to go first!"
"Yeah, but it's MY glue!"
"Then quit taking so long!" Jenny shouted, impatiently, as she made a grab for it.
"Hey! Quit it!" Jessica yelled, as she held the glue back and fended her off with her free hand.
Normally, Jenny and Jessica got along very well. Neither of them realized how abnormal it was for them to be fighting over something like children. All they knew was they had to be the one to have the glue, and be the one to decide what to use it for.
Eventually, Jenny got both fists around the bottle of glue, though she had partially pinned Jessica's fingers with her grip. Neither could wrest the bottle from the other's grip, and as they fought, they only squeezed the bottle tighter and tighter.
"WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!!!" Jessica screamed, as her senses returned to her just before the bottle would have burst. Jenny stopped fighting, but kept a moderate grip on the bottle for now. She knew she had to work out a deal before they both destroyed the thing they were fighting over.
"How about if we both go first?" she continued.
"How so?" Jenny replied, as her grip loosened slightly.
"You want to try the glue on your fingers, I want to try it on mine. What if we glue our fingers together? Yours to mine?"
"Okay! Deal! Wait, but who gets to apply the glue?"
"I'll hold the bottle, but apply it to your skin first. Sound fair?"
"Yes! Deal!"
As Jessica uncapped the bottle, her irrational excitement for what they were about to do grew even more intense. It was almost sexual. She suddenly saw her roommate and high school friend in a way she had never seen her before. Suddenly, sticking only their fingertips together didn't seem like a big enough idea. They should do more. She stopped, with the applicator tip inches from Jenny's finger.
"Hey, what gives? We had a deal! You promised you'd apply on my first!"
"I will! Just... do you want to stick ourselves together by our fingers? Or something else?"
"I guess it doesn't have to be that. Why? What are you thinking?"
