based upon a story by Snoopbone.

"Alright Marlo let's get this over with. You said you had a financial offer to give me here and I'm want to hear it now before I walk out that door like I did on our relationship six months ago."

Jimmy was standing there with his hands hanging loosely down sides passing his rotund stomach and ending on his chubby thighs. Marlo and Jimmy had been dating for five years and lovers for four of them. Jimmy had fallen on hard times as of late and needed money really badly since his family was going through a divorce and he was trying to put himself through college. He didn't want to go to college. He was a homebody who preferred to stay at home and take care of the house. He was really good with kids and was going to school to become a teacher, but he would prefer to have kids of his own and raise them. But society didn't approve of that and so a job as a school teacher was his best option.

Jimmy preferred strong successful older women who didn't have time or the desire to do the house work. This is why he and Marlo got together. He was attracted to the strength in her character. Marlo, on the other hand, liked to dominate the men she met. She wanted to make them feel weak. Marlo dominated Jimmy so easily that she had tired of it and she started to take him for granted.

"I told you that I had an idea and this might freak you out but I figured I would be more than happy to make an...umm exchange with you." Marlo had a smug smile on her face.

The two had been friends lately, a bit strained but friends nonetheless. Marlo a tall and somewhat busty but thin woman and Jimmy her short overweight former boyfriend. Jimmy wasn't really short, it was just that he was an inch shorter than Marlo a condition which was exaggerated when Marlo wore her heels which were quite often. Marlo led him downstairs into the basement apartment she had in her parents house.

She was dressed in her normal attire of leggings and a pretty print blouse. She was comfortable seeing as it was her house and he the outsider, dressed as professionally as he could be in his brown leather shoes, khaki pants, and button down blue shirt.

"OK here is the deal Jim. As you know toward the end of our relationship I kind of played with the idea of spell use and tinkered with some of the black arts."

Jim frowned and sighed quite loudly. "Yes I am quite aware of your...interests Marlo. Remember I am the one that broke up with YOU and those little things you played with was one of the reasons I broke it off with you. Wasting all your time and most of your fortune on all that mumbo-jumbo. You worked all the time so I never saw you and when you did come home you locked yourself away practicing your "dark arts." Between your "magic," and your never being home and the fact that you kept calling me fat I am still shocked i let it go five years."

Marlo smiled again, Jimmy was getting tired of that smirk. "Well Jim we'll see how all that goes what with my new "mumbo-jumbo" discovery. I know that you are a little...umm "short" of cash." She couldn't help the little jab at his lack of height.

"Funny...you are so funny. Get on with this whole waste of my time. You seem to have too much time and money on your hands."

Marlo opened her newest spell book and shook off the excess dust from her hands. She found the page she was looking for and lit a couple candles and stared at her chubby ex with that same contempt smile on her face. "Ok here goes the proposal Mr. Impatient. I have found an ancient transference spell and I want to use it on us. I will happily pay you $5000...my entire life savings if you will give me something of yours...your manly perception of being good in business. Men have always been perceived of being better in business than women. You don't want to go into business anyway so you don't need it. Give it to me and I'll give you $5,000."

Jimmy was a little stunned at her audacity. First she is trying to purchase some of his personality and then insult his intelligence by tricking him into coming over to the house with her stupid magic thing. "This is sick and stupid Marlo. I am SO glad we aren't together anymore. I'm leaving right now you're plain nuts."

Marlo still smiled she knew she had an ace up her sleeve. "Well I guess you could always work down at MacDonald's to get the money. The money you can save in free food alone could be a tidy sum. I mean come on Jim...I'll tell you what. Even if it doesn't work I'll still pay you the $5000. You could buy a lot of burgers with that."

Jim froze on the third step and contemplated stumping back to her and smacking that smirk off her face. But he didn't want to get arrested, she might have been taller than him and deserved it, but men always went to jail in domestic violence cases also when she said that he would get the money regardless of this spells effectiveness the burger comment bounced off him. He licked his lips and smiled too himself. "Let me see the money."
