EFFECT OF
CHANGE
Not-Aly now speaks
every language
perfectly.
Not-Aly has to wear
glasses that make the
people she rescues
think shed weird.
Not-Aly is not
emotionally volatile,
and can subsequently
fill out college apps
without having a
nervous breakdown
like the real Aly.
Everything tastes
sweet now, so NotAly can lose weight
by eating salad but
not hate every second
of it.
Due to reduced logic,
Not-Aly thinks Mean
Girls is still a relevant
movie even though its
totally not.
Super speed!
Perfect pitch! Which
real Aly only kind of
has!
Not-Aly does her
homework and college
apps on time due to
increased capacity for
motivation.
Not-Aly is happy all
the time! And never
stressed! Ever! !!!!!!!
