Line 8:
** Alice used to live a very unhealthy lifestyle which caused her to look unattractive, but after she quitted that...
* '''Inverted''': Alice used to be a cute kid, but when she and Bob meet again ten years later, she's ugly or disfigured, or just [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|plain-looking]].
** Alternately, Alice was a beautiful woman but was hit with some age-regression [[Device/Phlebotinum|Phlebotinum]] that made her ten years old by the time Bob sees her again.
* '''Subverted''': Bob meets up with Alice after ten years, expecting that she will have grown up to be beautiful. Instead, she's kind of ugly.
** She was never ugly to begin with, [[Informed Deformity|at least to the audience.]]
Line 16:
* '''Deconstructed''': We see that Alice spent years of her life on plastic surgery and other measures to become pretty for her "return," but the experience leaves her [[Stepford Smiler|hollow and unfulfilled after all]].
* '''Reconstructed''': We see that Alice spent years of her life on plastic surgery and other measures to become pretty for her "return," but the experience leaves her hollow and unfulfilled after all. However, Bob falls in love with the person behind all that plastic surgery, which helps Alice recover and feel better about who she is now.
** We see that Alice spent years of her life being fit and healthy as well as undergoing [[Character Development]]. She also had friends and loved ones to support her, and she learns tips on becoming pretty the safe, yet efficentefficient way. By the time Bob returns, he finds Alice dazzling, even when she forgot to put makeup on that day.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob expected Alice to be beautiful, but she's plain and unnoticeable... but wait! Who's that hot girl Bob just ran into? Is it really Alice? Yes... but she's wearing a lot of makeup. She stops doing so, and she's back to being plain and unnoticeable... but then Bob takes a closer look at her and realizes she's rather cute after all. (And just to seal the deal, a school dance comes along and [[She Cleans Up Nicely]].)
* '''Averted''': Alice didn't change much in terms of looks.
Line 28:
* '''Conversed''': "Is this gonna be another anime where he meets a hot girl, then finds out it was his childhood friend?"

Well, that's a nice looking trope, and... wait, was that [[{{SUBPAGENAMEROOTPAGENAME}}]]? I haven't seen her since grade school! Wow...
