Lets Make A Deal
Caption #621
Jules and Peter looked on at the rest of the party goers having a good time and celebrating the team's great win. Both guys were part of that win but now they were paying for the deal they made.
When a shady looking character approached the two fringe players a couple days before the game with his offer neither guy considered the outcome. Levin asked if the two would be prepared to give up some of life's pleasures for a guaranteed place in history. He would make sure Jules and Peter were more than filling up reserve spots in the big championship game and that they would find themselves able to do anything they wanted on the field?
Both guys thought the weird dude was having a lend of them. Maybe it was the consoling drinks they were having after not making the starting team that led them to consider the option. Whatever it was Jules and Peter accepted Levin's offer. When two first string team members went down ill the next day the guys began to believe.
Jules and Peter were added to the squad and duly went on to inspire an historic victory. They were the hero's of the league and spent the after match celebrating wildly. As things calmed down Levin appeared in the change rooms. Both Jules and Peter were thanking him profusely for his efforts and how they were now both sort after property from other teams. The big bucks were coming their way.
That's when Levin reminded them of their agreement. Jules and Peter were never sure of what they had to give up but how bad could it be compared to what they now had. Besides how could someone actually take something away from them?
With a wave of his hand Levin spoke to them both in a strange language. The next thing they knew Jules and Peter were somewhere else in the stadium; they were amongst all the cheerleaders for their team. But the clincher was when they looked at each other and realised they were also now cheerleaders! As they stood stunned the cheer leading coordinator began ushering all the girls onto a bus outside the stadium. Jules and Peter were scooted along with the others and onto the bus. As they sat together stunned they began to realise what Levin meant. No longer would there be any fat contracts and fabulous playing careers. No longer would they be able to say they were the heroes.
Jules and Peter never imagined what they would lose in the deal.
As they came to the realization of their situation they realised they recognized the bodies they now inhabited. Jules was now in Andrea Johnson's body and Peter was in Gloria Wailin's body. They could only assume the two girls were somewhere else, probably in their old bodies. As the cheerleaders reached the plush hotel where the team would be celebrating they were lined up either side of a red carpet. There were fans behind them singing the club song and generally cheering. Another bus pulled up and one by one the team filed out and waved as they entered the hotel. Jules and Peter were instructed to go through some cheers while this was going on. They both got to see their old bodies pass by smiling smugly at each of them as they did.
Finally everyone was inside and the two changed men were seated with the other cheerleaders as the players held court and spoke to the privileged fans in the vast room. Jules and Peter looked on glumly as their old bodies were hailed as heroes. Finally the cheerleaders got to mingle as the trophy was awarded and the party started. Neither of them felt like partying though.
From nowhere Levin appeared and greeted the two beauties with an evil smile. Jules was angry and wanted to know what was going on. Levin just laughed and explained they had a deal and this was the pay-off for their day of glory. He also explained that the girls had a deal with him. For agreeing to marry the two guys who were suddenly ill they would get the careers they had always coveted. And the two guys that were ill had made a deal to give up their spots for the guarantee they would be able to marry the cheerleaders they so desired!
"So you see ladies it's all about making the right deal for you. Perhaps you should have thought a bit harder about what you wanted. I can't wait for your weddings. They will be big news in the sports and social pages I'm sure. I wonder which of you will be first to produce offspring?" Levin almost sniggered.
Before either of the girls could do anything he took two steps back and promptly disappeared. Jules and Peter were trying to decide what to do when Joe Randall and Butch Easton appeared before them. These were the two guys who were late withdrawals from the team and of course they were now Jules and Peter's fiances. Each guy took his intended in their arms and led them to the dance floor where a microphone was produced. Both men made the public announcements that they would be marrying the girls.
Both Jules and Peter tried to escape this situation over the following months but the powers that made the deals seemed to prevent them from doing anything to stop it. First Jules then Peter were married off in lavish public ceremonies and the topper was that their old bodies were in both bridal parties as grooms men! It was Peter who first became pregnant six weeks later and had a son while Jules managed to last almost a year before he finally got the joyous news he was increasing the size of his family.
Somewhere in the swirl of darkness that is evil and mischief, Levin watched proceedings with a wicked smile!
