The "Bill Detector" started beeping.
"Um, Bill?"
"I know...I need literally three minutes to fix your powers..."
"What if I keep them but your flames or something serve as an on and off switch?" I asked, the idea popping into my head.
"That's...extremely smart. Ford's rushing towards us, though...a tattoo marking will have to work!"
"W-wait!"
Bill had already snapped his fingers. My left forearm lit on fire, blue for the world to see, as I felt my teeth and ears shrink back to normal, and saw the black disappear.
"Quickly, just note that whatever you do-"
Ford had reached the room and was knocking.
My mind knew this might be the last time I ever see Bill.
"Pinetree, this might be goodbye...so..."
Bill did exactly what I was thinking.
He leaned down and kissed me as the door opened.
