Brad lay next to his girlfriend - watching her sleep. It wasn't something he normally did - he'd started doing it after that strange parcel had arrived 2 weeks ago. He hadn't ordered it. No one had been present at the apartment to receive the delivery. It was just there one day. He'd been home from work first that day, and after investigating the package for any sign where it had come from decided to open it. Inside he'd found the strange device. It was shaped almost like a toy ray gun, except it seemed to be made of metal and was very high quality in design - beyond what you'd see in most blockbuster science fiction movies. It came with a manual that touted it as the "Sex Ray 3000" - no battery compartment and yet it seemed to have lights and effects on various elements. The manual claimed it could make any woman more beautiful. He'd tried pulling the trigger and while he saw no ray it almost looked like there was some sort of distortion in front of the gun - he dismissed it as his imagination.
It had to be a gag gift of some sort - but it seemed way to high end. He hid it out of sight for the time and waited for one of his buddies to mention the secret package. None of them did. None of them acted like they were waiting for some gag to be discovered. The whole thing remained a mystery. Worse than that though, it had got him thinking - he'd never cared that Jennifer wasn't some model, or a gym rat, or particularly the classic "Girl next door". It wasn't looks that had made him fall for her - and though he had fantasies he never considered actually cheating on or leaving her - she was loving, kind - absolutely amazing. But the ridiculous claims of the "Sex Ray 3000" gnawed at his brain.
And so, tonight, he rolled out of bed and made his way to his little hiding place - something she'd thankfully never found because it was also where he'd secretly stashed his small porn collection. He had to put the thought out of his head and could think of no better way then to dismiss the thing permanently as a hoax. So, he took the gun in hand, pointed it at his girlfriend and pulled the trigger. He reacted with a start at what happened, but calmed himself down quickly. He'd seen the sheets move just as he'd pulled the trigger, but his rational mind dismissed it that she'd coincidentally shifted in her sleep, probably a subconscious reaction to him no longer being beside her. But as he watched he realized that the shifting sheets couldn't be dismissed as her moving - her feet seemed to be sliding farther down the bed despite her head not moving.
He moved around to her side of the bed, to look more carefully and saw a face that - while definitely Jennifer's was also not Jennifer - certainly not Jennifer in the middle of the night. Her hair seemed noticeably longer for one, and almost seemed to have some body and lustre to it even in the dim light and despite being slept on. Her lips seemed somewhat fuller. A small blemish he'd come to call a love nibble on her neck was outright gone. Her nose seemed slightly different too. And, from this angle, he could see that between her arms as she rested on her side was.. cleavage - something Jennifer definitely never had without a significant push up bra.
He quickly hid the gun again, and climbed into bed - watching her sleep - now trying to figure out what had just happened.
