The Amazon was reaching 12 feet tall and her breasts were inching closer and closer to Sharon's face as they expanded.
Just as Sharon was about to be in serious danger of having her air cut off, the Amazon stopped growing.
She looked around in surprise, and saw a man she'd never seen before putting the ring on his finger.
"Jim!" Sharon yelled, and he turned at the sound of that name.
Through simple reasoning, the Amazon was able to determine that his name was Jim.
She stood up off of Sharon, and stepped over to Jim, who wasn't even half her height.
"Give me back the ring." She barked.
"No." Jim said. "Look at yourself. In fact, both of you look at yourselves."
Sharon was surprised, and stood up to get a better look.
"Jim, what are you talking about?" Sharon asked him.
"I'll tell you what I'm talking about." Jim said. "The two of you aren't being rational. The moment you put on this ring, you don't just try and improve your body, you go crazy."
"What do you mean?" The Amazon asked.
"Take a guess." Jim said. "When you got the ring, you know what you tried to do? You tried to kill Sharon."
"Well, no, I..." The Amazon trailed off.
"For God's sake, you two." Jim said. "This is just a contest."
"You're right." Sharon murmured. Turning to the Amazon, she said, "I'm sorry."
"No, I'm the one who should be sorry." The Amazon said. "I mean, hey, I just tried to kill you."
"It's alright, I forgive you."
"And I you."
There was a moment of silence between the two.
"Okay," Jim said, "Sharon, why don't we go home now?"
"Okay..." Sharon said, and followed Jim off the stage, towards the car.
