"Well, I need to run a human test anyways, so sure. I'll let you share the honors."
You make sure Lena is properly inside of her pod, and close her in. After checking a few stats on the main terminal, and confirming everything was operational, you sit yourself inside the left pod and push the activation button. The machine slowly whirs to life and you call out to Lena. "Get ready to eat your words in 3... 2... 1..."
The crystal element at the top of the pod begins to glow as it's filled with power and a light washes over you. Your limbs quickly begin to go numb and you start to feel like you're falling asleep. You do your best to stay conscious for as long as you can. There's a pull-like sensation that seems to be drawing you in, which you push back against, but it eventually snatches you, and you black out instantly. You swear you actually got a glimpse of your body from the outside as you were being pulled out of it.
There's darkness for a moment, before you come back to reality like a car crashing into a building. You're suddenly in a physical body again. The lightheaded feeling fades quickly, and you instantly feel a world of new sensation. The pod is very dark when it's sealed up, but you're able to see perfectly regardless. Lena's dress adorns your torso, and your body is smaller. You gently tap your crotch to confirm its new shape, before opening the door and stepping out.
The light of the garage is overwhelming on your eyes, but someone dims them. "Is that better?" a man's voice asks, and you nod. Your vision clears up and you see your own figure standing before you. The body cracks a smile and glances up and down over you. "Wow. I can see myself. That's not what I remember my face looking like."
"How do you feel, Lena?" you smugly ask. "Humbled?"
She giggles, using your voice. "Of course not. I wouldn't have stepped into your invention if I wasn't positive it would work." Lena holds out an arm and observes it slowly, tracing up and down it with your fingers. She pokes at your belly fat and grinds your teeth a bit. When she looks in the wall-mounted mirror, her face lights up like you've never seen before.
"More importantly, Luke, how do you feel?"
You nonchalantly answer. "It's fine. A girl's body is a little smaller and it's missing some things. It's really weird hearing someone else's voice come out when I talk, though."
Lena raises an eyebrow and smiles. "That's not what I mean. For a genius, you're pretty dense."
You aren't sure what she's talking about. Thinking it over, you bite into your lip as you always do. "Ouch!" you yelp as one of Lena's teeth penetrates your lower lip. It was sharp. You run a finger over her teeth and find two very sharp canines, and the puncture in your lip has already healed.
Lena puts two big hands on your shoulders, and slowly walks you in front of the mirror. "What do you see?" she asks. You just see yourself. Yourself, as in, your original body. That's all you see. Lena's reflection doesn't appear in the mirror at all.
She gives you a warm smile, and says, "Surprise!"   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
