Surprise cure

You suddenly begin to feel the temperature of the room heating up, getting hotter and hotter. The metal sides of the pyramid even seem to be glowing hot as well. You are sweating just standing there. "Hey, I'm getting baked in here! Turn it off!" you say, hoping the Aligator doesn't plan on turning you into a roast ham.

"Do not worry my friend, all part of the process!" he says, and pulls another lever. Suddenly there is a bright blue flash at the top of the structure, which pours down, filling the room with light. You can barely see, but it feels like you are boiling on the inside. You have to close your eyes, hoping that the end is quick.

Then it stops. The pyramid opens up. "There we go my friend" says the Alligator, pushing you. "Don't forget to spread the word and remember the power of the pyramid!" The pyramid suddenly closes with a snap, leaving you dumb founded. You scratch your head, pulling at the lose sweat stain shirt...

Wait a minute, you look down and find your shirt hanging off you like an overstretched tent. You lift up and see your stomach, or lack there of, a few abs greeting you. You look yourself over, and see your physique has had a total make over, you have the build of an athlete, all the fat you had before has melted away, leaving lean muscle. You jump about and yip in excitement, having gotten rid of all the fat! You realize this as your stretched pants fall down, and you quickly pull them up, tying the, in a lose knot. Wait, now you need to get Fred!

You run back to the gate, "Fred!' you yell, "I found the cure!" he wobbles over to the gate. "Great, give me some." he pants. "Well, I can't, it's not a mobile cure, we've got to get you in here."

A few moments later you have squeezed Fred through the turn style and get back to the pyramid. "Hello? Alligator guy?," you yell, hoping to get his attention. No answer. "Maybe he is on break?" you say, "He's got to come back sometime."

"We'll that doesn't do me any good," says Fred, waddling over to the pyramid and sniffing about. "What are you doing?" you ask. "Looking for a way in, the longer we stay here the more likely we'll be found out." You look at the pyramid, you could probably scale it and try find an opening, but you have no idea how to work the thing, maybe it would be better to wait...
