"Spazzy? This isn't the time for hide and go seek." Vex said as she looked around. Seeing the hats reminded her of the ones her and a few of their models had almost ended up wearing a few nights ago. Looking around she heard Spazzy giggling.
Seeing her chance the weirdo snuck up behind Vex as she grabbed a colorful bowler hat. Aiming carefully she tossed it like a frisbee toward Vex's head. It just barely missed Vex as she bent over to look under a table. "Sasa fras..." The weirdo said, trying to get another hat at the ready. This time she tossed it before Vex stood up.

The Weirdo cursed her impatience as the hat clipped Vex's ear and sailed over her shoulder. Vex spun around, her slightly longer red nose wobbling slightly and she furrowed her brow at the Weirdo who had thrown the hat. "What's the big idea, missy? Can't you see I'm already a Weirdo?"
The Weirdo just grinned sheepishly and said, " I'm awfully sorry miss... Vex, isn't it? But you can't fool me. I can see that you aren't one of us."
Vex's eyes widened briefly, "How do you know my name?" she demanded, gloved hands on her hips.
"Are you kidding? you're something of a celebrity here now! You've caused quite a stir, you know." The little weirdo, named Whimsy, said slyly.
Vex felt a small pang of alarm. Had she made a mistake coming here? "Look, I can't help what's happened but it was hardly my fault! It was your kind who chased me, cursed me, and have been a pain in my butt from the very start!" Vex could feel her calm slipping away, and with it, her concentration. It slipped just a little and Whimsy giggled as she watched Vex's nose lengthen and swell just a little more than it already had been.
"The name is Whimsy, by the way. I'm sorry about the hat, Vex. Forgive me, please. It's just our nature to want to show boring normies the weird side of things is all. I heard all about your troubles with Mitzy and her crew. I can promise you that I'm not with them and I am not looking to turn you into a Weirdo. You're turning yourself into a Weirdo just by being here you know. Anyway, what is it you're looking for? Maybe I can help you out?" Whimsy offered.
Vex could feel the Weirdos sincerity and she smiled at her appreciatively. "Thank you, Whimsy. Right now I need help finding my girlfriend turned Weirdo, Spazzy. Give me a hand, would you? After that there is a problem I could use your help with, if you would be so kind."
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the store Spazzy was oohing and aahing at all the delightful hats on offer...

There were tiny hats, big hats, and even a few that Vex would have questioned as being actual hats given the shapes. Spazzy however saw all of them as amazing and wanting to try them all on. However one that caught her eye specifically was a star shaped head piece that was designed to wrap around her head. Picking it up off the weirdo mannequin she went to try it on. It was tough to get on given her hairdo, making the weirdo look comical as she tried to make it fit. As she struggled she was moving around, bumping into things and knocking a few things over.

Spazzy was tugging on the hat when she knocked over a display, and lost her balance, falling on her butt but managing to finally get the hat on. Spazzy cooed dreamily as she felt really nice tingles in her scalp that were spreading.
Vex and Whimsy heard the commotion and turned in time to see merchandise falling over further into the store, causing Vex to hurry in that direction with Whimsy walking alongside her.

As the two walked into view they saw Spazzy giggling with the new star shaped hat around her head. "Spazzy...What are you wearing?" Vex asked. The sight of her weirdo friend's new hat had her raising a drawn on eyebrow. "What do you think?" Spazzy asked with a giggle. "Uh oh...Didn't think she'd be attracted to one of those hats." Whimsy said as Vex looked to her.
"Why? What is wrong with that hat?" Vex asked.
"It is not just a hat. It is in a way a wig. If we don't get it off her head will take on a more star shape underneath." Whimsy said.

Vex, thinking quickly, said, "Spazzy! That hat is sooo not you! Take that silly thing off and try this one instead!" Pointing to a still silly, but somewhat normally shaped Sun hat with a dazzling array of flowers decorating it. Spazzy's eye lit up and the tugged at the star hat, trying to get it off. She pulled with all her might but was barely able to make it budge. Vex rushed over and helped pulling for all the was worth. Finally, with a comical pop! they managed to get the hat off, but Spazzy now had a bit of a cone-head. "Uh-oh" Said Vex, her eyes wide with alarm. Whimsy smiled knowingly as Vex's ears grew larger, more round as her concentration lapsed while dealing with her friend. Whimsy strolled over to the pair and presented Spazzy with the flower hat, which she happily perched on her pointed head. Vex tugged it down and thankfully, it seemed to give her head a somewhat more normal shape, though her head seemed to have gotten a little bigger.
Vex turned to Whimsy and thanked her. Whimsy curtseyed politely and asked, "So, Sis-I mean, normie, what's this problem you need help with?"
Vex explained about the statues and how they needed a Weirdo to help since they were most likely quite susceptible to it's transformative effects.
Whimsy listened, nodding along. In truth, she knew all about it. She was part of a group that was preparing to go help Mitzy and her crew but things happened the way they did before they left Oddity Alley. She decided to help them, though she was still really tempted to bring them over to the Weird side for good. She would have to think about it. Or, she could just distract them here and watch them change here. Spazzy was well on her way already. Vex was indeed a tough one. Any other normie would already be permanently goofy in the amount of time she had been here.

Figuring Vex might take notice of her antics, Whimsy decided to hold off changing them for now. After all, if she changed her mind once she had the idol, than she could make them weirdos then.
Though maybe the normies would make an impression on her and she'd let them remain as they are. She was open to the idea, but wasn't going to throw her original idea away so easily. "Shall we pay for the hat and go?" Vex asked. "Don't you want one too?" Spazzy asked with a laugh. Vex tried to think of a reason as Whimsy picked up a hat that had fallen on the ground from Spazzy trying to get the previous hat on.

"You know, I'd love one... But I'm allergic to hats." Vex said with her most winning smile. Spazzy just looked at her curiously, but shrugged and skipped off towards the register. Vex quickly followed along, reaching into her purse to retrieve money to pay for the hat. Whimsy just smiled and followed along, whistling tunelessly to herself.

"Thanks for your purchase. Come again soon." The pear-shaped weirdo said as she took the money for the hat. Walking outside Vex looked around as she noticed things weren't looking as busy as before. "Everyone must be heading off to bed." Whimsy said, speaking for what she was sure Vex was thinking about. "Might be best to get some rest before going to get that idol." She said with a big yawn.
"No. Given who is going after it, we need to try and get to it first." Vex said.
"And do you have any lights or ways to see in the dark?" Whimsy asked curiously.

"Sure! Flashlights, silly. Plus, we've been there so we know the lay of the land. We'll be fine." Assured Vex. Spazzy was in a daze, playing with her hat and not really paying much attention to anything.
"Is that okay with you? Do you know anyone else that we could trust to help us here?"
Whimsy shook her head and replied, "I'm probably your best bet. You're lucky I recognized you and am not with the Weirdos after you. They probably would have done something pretty drastic to you by now. I can't think of anyone else right off the top of my head that would be willing to help you. I'm happy to do it, though. Lead the way!" Whimsy said cheerfully, indicating the exit to Oddity Alley.

Heading to the exit the three walked out, though Spazzy was more pulled along. Putting some distance between themselves and Oddity Alley had Vex able to relax as her weirdo side grew weaker. Returning to normal she began turning her focus back to Spazzy who wasn't reverting back to Star at all. She seemed still in a giggling daze as Whimsy walked beside her.

"Star! Hey, Star!" Vex poked Spazzy forcefully to get her attention. Spazzy looked up at her,showing a flicker of recognition at the name Star. Breathing a sigh of relief, she tried again. This time, slowly but surely, she was able to restore Star.

"Whoa...Weren't we just outside of Oddity Alley?" Star asked as Vex took the hat off her head. "We were, but now we need to go after the idol. Mind pulling out our supplies?" Vex asked with a smile. "Oh sure. Do we need a clown car as well as flashlights?" Star asked as she reached into her cleavage and pulled out a couple flashlights.

"That's a great idea, Star! That way, we can keep Whimsy out of sight and avoid some suspicion! Ooh! how about a couple of quick portals, too? Maybe one to the studio and one to your apartment? Do you still have those?" Asked Vex.
Star's eyes lit up and she nodded excitedly. "I do! All right! One clown car and two portals coming up!"
Whimsy just looked back and forth at the two during their exchange, her expression inscrutable.
Soon enough Star had pulled out everything required and the trio got into the car, an experience Vex had not gotten used to yet, which caused her to become very dizzy as she was somehow effortlessly able to step into such a tiny car. She was amazed at how roomy it was inside and Whimsy and Star giggled at her reaction, the both of them quite used to the experience.

"Okay ladies, buckle up." Star said as she started the tiny engine. Whimsy and Vex quickly buckled up. Star slammed her big foot on the gas pedal as the wheels squealed as they spun before zooming off down the road. Vex sank back into her seat, giggling at how fast a small car could move.
Before long they were leaving behind the last buildings of Clowntopia and speeding out into the wastelands. "So how far out are the idols?" Whimsy asked curiously. "A bit walking, but should only be a few minutes." Star said, the three bouncing in their seats every time Star hit a small bump.
