Most of the time the two consciousnesses were in harmony, but from time to time Abigail would insist on taking control. In particular, she had developed a fondness for dark chocolate and insisted that Barbara purchase chocolate bars wherever they went. Soon she was consuming two to three large chocolate bars a day. Barbara tried to slow down Abigail’s consumption, but to no avail. Barbara found herself getting jittery from the extra caffeine, waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get back to sleep. “Abigail, this chocolate craze has got to stop. If we don’t sleep through the night we will not have enough energy the next day.” Abigail responded, “I’m sorry. On planet Naranjada sleeping is optional and not something I do very much.” “Well, when you have a human body you need to sleep, or the body does not function. How about we limit our chocolate to one bar a day?” “All right,” Abigail conceded with a sigh, “just one bar. But I sure love chocolate.”
