"The lab told me that it would not affect me, but..." you said, trailing off. The evidence was right in front of you. "I hope because I'm bigger than a lab rat, the only effects is the loss of a couple years."
"What was the lab trying to do?" Chelsea demanded. You could tell she didn't quite like the idea of having a 14 year old boyfriend.
"The genetics lab was initially investigating regenerative medicines. Regrow limbs, and stuff like that through cellular regeneration" you said, remembering the briefing a Dr Hanson gave you the previous day. "However at the moment, it works too well, and acts as a youth potion."
Neither mom or Chelsea looked impressed. "Does it do anything else?" mom demanded. "you said the tested animals had side effects."
"Yes.. the animals were.. umm... Mom, you know how all vertebrates are inherently female?"
"No... Are you saying the animals were turned into girls?" mom said, freaking out. Chelsea looked even more uncomfortable, especially with mom demanding to check you out.
"Mom. I'm fine" you said as mom seized your hand. "All that's happened to me is a slight loss of age. I'm not turning into a girl. Am I changing?"
"No, but I want you to come with me" mom said.
"Where are we going?" you demanded.
"The genetics lab. I want them to fix this" mom said. You felt relieved slightly, especially since Chelsea seemed to slightly more composed over the past couple of minutes. As you headed out the door, you whispered to her, 'Thanks for staying." She smiled slightly, but remained quiet.
