James took Nicky up on her offer, and soon enough, he'd learned the secret skills of his family line. He hadn't used them much, but that was all about to change.
He was hanging out with his good friend Tim, shooting the shit, when they got around to the topic of girls. Tim was the sort of guy who wasn't comfortable talking about or talking to the opposite sex. He had this sort of fixation with earrings. How they were made, what they represented, what they looked like. It was a bit of an issue, in both of their opinions.
But James had an idea. He could turn into his sister Danielle, who he knew Tim had a crush on. On top of that, she was the perfect test subject for his desire to mess around with various aspects of a person's appearance. But he wouldn't do that to his own body-- it was still important for him to keep his family's secret technique. As Danielle crossed his field of view, he hopped into her body. Before Tim could get a good look through the slightly opened door, Tim altered Danielle's appearance, from her soft, shy form to something more aggressive and high octane. He wanted to see what she would be like if she was...well, if she were different.
Her hair dyed itself a bright, toxic green, pulling itself into a pair of enormous twintails. Her shirt split in two, part of it becoming a dark leather jacket and the rest turning into a tight, midriff-baring yellow top. Her pants were also similarly colored, splitting along the thighs to expose plenty of flesh from either side. A bright purple bandana and a couple of hoop earrings finished off the look.
James blinked using Danielle's eyes, admiring the tightness of her middle. She was usually soft around the middle, with a bit of belly fat present at any given time. But now she was tight and toned, like some kind of supermodel. He'd made that change, and it felt great. As a matter of fact, everything about this form felt incredible.
He let that aggression guide him back into his own room, where Tim was waiting patiently for James to return. Apparently, he hadn't noticed James disappear when he hopped Danielle.
"Woah, is that really you, Danielle?" He gasped. "Y-you look so good."
James smirked. "Yeah, it's me. You like my new look?" He turned Danielle's wide eyes towards Tim, making himself look as adorable as possible even through the punk guise.
His friend nodded. "Yes, I...I love it. All of it. Your earrings are magnificent. Your hoops...oh man, is that gold? They just look so good...I think that's at least 24k....perfectly round, what does it represent? Oh, it doesn't matter, they just go so perfectly with the rest of your outfit. Do you mind if I touch them?"
James shook his head. Tim took the opportunity to reach forward and caress the cool metal. He shivered with excitement, his eyes as wide as dinner plates. "Wow....these are perfectly formed. So shiny..." His eyes sparkled with joy. James let a small smile creep across his face. This was worth any amount of trickery.
But how to proceed next?
