Danny still couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Nicole was lying asleep on the couch. She was still in the maid costume she had been compelled to where by Danny's suggestions. She had spent the previous day at Danny's house in that outfit and a cat-ear headband performing various tasks that Danny thought of. He was completely awestruck at the sight of Nicole cooking and cleaning while dressed like that. She even went to sleep on his command. Such was the case right now.

The sight of her fast asleep was very pleasant to look at. She seemed completely at peace. The headband had fallen of and was now lying on the floor. Danny wondered if she would still be under the crystal's hypnosis when she woke up. Although, he loved what he was looking at, he figured he couldn't just let her sleep all day. After snapping a picture on his phone to remember this pleasant sight by he said "Nicole, wake up."

Her eyes opened as soon as the last word left Danny's mouth. "Stand up," Danny continued. She did as she was told. So she was still under the trance. Sleeping through the night had not lessened the crystal's effect at all. Seeing this Danny figured she would only come out of it if he commanded her to.

"Go change out of the maid outfit and follow me back to your room," Danny commanded.

A few minutes later they were back in Nicole's dorm room. Torrie, thankfully, wasn't there as Nicole's current state would lead to all kinds of questions. Nicole was back in regular clothes ad had just placed the out fit she was wearing back in the closet at Danny's request. She now stood awaiting Danny's next command.

"I want you to remember something subconsciously, do you understand?" Danny asked.


"Yes," Nicole responded blankly.

She had responded the same way when he had attempted to place subconscious commands the previous day. It seemed he would soon find out if they work or not. Seeing the face cat ears now back in their place on the shelf in Nicole's closet, he got an idea.

"Whenever you hear 'good kitten,' you will return to the entranced state you are in now, do you understand?" Danny asked again.

"Yes," Nicole replied in the same blank tone.

Now it was time to snap her out of it Danny figured. She did have her exam to study for after all. However, a thought occurred to him: maybe he could use her current state to help her prepare for her exam.

"Nicole, go open up your computer and pull up your material for you exam tomorrow," he said. She complied, pulling up the presentations from class and her own notes.

"I want you to read over what you have here, you feel extremely focused right now, each word of your material will be committed to memory after reading through it once," he said. "Once you are done, you will snap out of your trance remembering everything you just read but nothing else about yesterday or today. You will remember studying this whole time."

Nicole began reading and Danny took the opportunity to leave the room before she returned to normal.

That evening, Danny returned to Nicole's room and knocked on the door.

"Hey!" Nicole said as she opened the door. She seemed to be in a good mood.

"Hey, how's the studying going?" Danny asked.

"Really well actually," Nicole replied. "It's strange, everything just started clicking this morning. I felt fully prepared for this exam by noon so I was able to get a bunch of other stuff done."

"Great to hear!" said Danny, pleased to have been able to help her without her realizing it. "Does this mean you'll be free to hang out tonight?"

"Sounds good" She responded.

"Awesome," Danny continued. "We should get some time outdoors before the summer weather ends. Once fall gets here it will be a while before it heats up again."

As soon as the words "heats up" left Danny's mouth, Nicole's face went red and she bit her lip. It seemed the triggers Danny placed had worked.
