A few moments after Eve had managed to hypnotize Rayne and Laura, there was a knock on the door. As Trisha and Eve turned around, they saw Jackie on the other side of the glass. Trisha sighed as she moved towards the door, whispering "Wake them up quickly, please." to Eve as she passed.
"Of course!" came Eve's playful response as she hugged both girls, one on either side of her, and whispered "1...2...3...Wide awake!" Fortunately for her, she was able to cover up the fact that both girls had been hypnotized from the unsuspecting Jackie.
As soon as Trisha unlocked the door, the room was filled with high pitched squeals that can only occur when two college girls see each other for the first time in literal hours. Hugging ensued.
"Come in, come in!" Trisha said, waving Jackie inside. "Thank you so much for showing up! This is Rayne, of course you know Laura, and this is Eve."
"Pleasure to meet you, Eve" Jackie said with a smile as she turned to Rayne. "We actually have met before, just briefly. But it's good to see you again!" she said excitedly as she gave her a hug.
"It's good to see you too, are you joining the sorority?" Rayne asked, knowing that she had already helped hypnotize Jackie once and put the idea in her mind to, at the very least, show up to the meeting.
"We'll see...no offense, Trisha." she said, putting her hand on the older girl's arm apologetically. "I don't believe in hypnosis, so joining a sorority based on it seems a bit disingenuous. I'm simply here because Trisha and Laura asked me to show up and I want to support them in any way that I can!"
"So you don't believe in hypnosis...and I assume you don't believe you can be hypnotized either?" Eve asked, giving her a confused look.
"Nope, I'm sorry to say that I'm completely unable to be hypnotized." she said as she shrugged her shoulders. Rayne and Laura, on the other hand, knew better from experience and shot each other a look as they rolled their eyes.
Before the conversation could devolve into a debate about Jackie's ability to enter hypnosis, Cheyenne interrupted with a knock on the open door. "Am I in the right place?" she asked with a knowing smile. As expected, more high pitched squeals, hugs, and introductions followed. Do I really have to write that all out for you guys? No? Sweet!
As the introductions began to wrap up, Cheyenne, like Jackie, also admitted to not believing in hypnosis. Instead she claimed that she was just there to support Laura and Trisha in any way she could. Rayne and Laura smiled at Trisha, who replied with a subtle wink, knowing that the two of them had been responsible for slipping those very suggestions into both girls' minds.
Despite their attempts at subtlety, however, Jackie and Cheyenne both happened to notice the looks that were being exchanged. Fortunately for the more devious girls here, Carly arrived just in time to break up what would have been a rather accusatory conversation. Yet another round of squeals and hugs followed as Carly made her introductions.
"What are you doing here?" Cheyenne asked in confusion. "They didn't rope you into joining this too, did they?"
"No!" laughed Carly with a smile. "I'm doing a report on hypnotism for the school paper. Trisha was kind enough to let me sit in on the meeting so I can get some firsthand information on how hypnosis is being used on campus!"
