As he drove up to the school, Edwood’s attention, which was normally drifting about with a steady level of disinterest except when it caught something reflecting his own image back into his piercing eyes with that striking thing he does with his brow and the firmly set lips and … Anyway, his attention was drawn to a swam of crashed vehicles near one end of the parking lot where all of the occupants were fighting one another to make their way to the head of a crowd. This certainly was odd behavior for the teenagers who were supposed to be looking at nothing but him, so Edwood quietly tucked his vehicle off to the side, just enough so its foreign make and expensive model would drive jealousy into everyone still entering the lot, and used his powers of exaggerated leaping to spring from tree to tree until he was able to peer over the crowd to the center of their attention.
His eyes, straining against the half-opened pensive appearance they’d become accustomed to, actually widened. They widened so much, in fact, that beads of blood drew from the cracks forming in skin that had met the limit of its developed stretching abilities. He never noticed because all he saw at that point was Bella. She had become … different.

POTATO MOON, Part 67: “Onion Ring Wishes and Mashed Potato Dreams” by Erin with her sister Sarah aka Team Awesome
Woeisme stared at Bela; stared at her with the burning angst of a million suns and a couple smaller dwarf-suns. Bela stood there smiling like a nincompoop who was enthralled by something shiny, like ball of aluminum foil or a pile of glitter.

“How could I have been so stupid?” Vlad asked himself, “Clearly, Bela should have had the One Onion Ring from the start.”
“Bela, have I ever told you how much I adore you for no good reason?” Fig asked, as Woeisme continuously kicked him in the shin with no reaction whatsoever.

POTATO MOON, Part 66 by Doug Atkinson
“Do I have to transform into a food?” Bela asked
“You will transform into your innermost desire,” the woman replied wispily. “Forged in the fires of transmutation, as the onion and the potato are plunged into the vat of oil and emerge, tempered and strong, golden and delicious.”
”You mean they turn into apples?” Bela was confused now. She was worried that the woman would seize on her first stray thought and turn her into that, so she was trying to keep her thoughts blank lest she turn into the Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man. Naturally, she now couldn’t think of anything else.
