The Transform Self Help Group : Part 1

Have you had a friend, relative or loved one change before your very eyes? Someone you have known for years as a fairly unassuming person suddenly become their complete and utter opposite? If so, then please contact me at [email protected] and I will send you details of what I hope will be a friendly community where people affected by these issues can talk and come to terms.

"First of all, can I thank everyone for turning up this evening. When I first put that advert online I wondered what sort of people I would attract but by talking to several of you already, it is clear that this issue is an issue that affects more people than they let on. I have always been told that to get the best out of a situation, you should be prepared to dive off the deep end, so here goes!. My name is Richard"

"Hello, Richard" chorused the gathered group

"Thank you" Richard replied, "and I know the superhero Bananaman, however I knew him long before he was Bananaman and because he is still on active service I shall not reveal his real name but will call him Ernie. I first knew Ernie when he was in junior school in England and we happened to be in the same class, but it wasn't until the first year of high school that I noticed Ernie develop a strange fixation with bananas. Everything he had, had some connection to bananas. When he brought in a picture of his bedroom, he had a banana shaped headboard on his bed, a banana shaped clock and even a picture of a banana over his bed. The rest of the class laughed and called him "Banana Brain" but I was secretly concerned and managed to wangle my way to visit him after school one day. He was in his room playing his favourite video game called "Banana Biters" and everything I had seen and heard was true. Whilst I was there the phone rang. Ernie answered it and then suddenly started whispering into the phone before putting it down. He then asked me if I could keep a secret. I said that I could and with that he produced a banana from his pocket. "That's not much of a secret" I replied as Ernie bit it. He looked at me with a knowing wink and that's when things happened.

The first thing I noticed was Ernie started to grow and I thought I could see his underpants showing. However as he continued to grow, his chest started to expand causing his shirt to rip, but instead of there being a shower of material flittering to the floor, the ripped shirt turned into a sort of cape that resembled a banana and where once there had been a cheeky face of my 12 year old friend was now a similiarly cheeky face but of someone much, much older. At the same time, his waist started to shrink to his feet but soon reversed to reveal a very thin pair of legs with boots resembling bananas. At the peak of the change from 12 year old schoolboy to muscle bound man was him bending his left arm and creating what looked like a balloon under his now blue shirt. I stood there completely stunned by what I had seen and stammered "Ernie, is that you?" "No" replied the person in a loud and booming voice, "I am Bananaman" and then whispered "But you can't tell anyone who I really am" and with that he launched himself through the roof.

As I said, I started this group hoping to find people in a similar situation and now having heard my story, is there anyone else who would like to share their story"

All of the group looked around nervously, before a person wearing an orange jumpsuit stood up

"Hello" he said, "my name is Duncan"

"Hello Duncan" chorused the group

"and I know He-Man"

As you may have gathered this is a spoof of those various self help groups, the theme of this group is that they have all seen their friends change into superheroes and will reflect current thinking according to fan websites
