This is the third installment of MUA: The Slayer series. It is best if
you have read the first two installments, but it is not necessary if
you haven't. This story picks up at the sci-fi convention and follows
the action of the teenage boy who ended up with the Morphic Adaptation
Unit at the end of the second story. Special thanks to Eric for
proofreading.
MAU: The Slayer 3 - Fallout
By Allen W.
John Miller had never been anything more than a typical high school
nerd. He got good grades in school, wasn't popular, didn't fit in to
well, and lacked all self-confidence when he was around girls. He was a
little more than slightly overweight and he was pretty much a slob. He
had a few close friends, also social outcasts, and he liked science
fiction, which is why he was spending his entire Saturday at sci-fi
convention.
John walked around the convention looking at the various displays and
vender booths. As he did so he would shyly eye the occasional
attractive costumed girl that roamed the convention area. He went to
some various panel discussions, one on Enterprise and another given by
J. Michael Straczynski.
As he left the second panel group and was making his way back to the
dealer room, he was shoved out of the way by a large man dressed as a
Klingon warrior. The large man was followed by another Klingon and six
men dressed as Storm Troopers.
"We will teach you what it is to insult a Klingon warrior." The second
Klingon growled as they all made their way through a door marked
employees only.
John had wanted to follow them, to see if they were really going to get
into a fight, but didn't want to get caught in an area that he
shouldn't be in. He turned and walked to the dealer booths. He was
looking at some Red Dwarf books, when he turned and saw that an
attractive girl was standing next to him looking at the same books. She
was blond and wore black horn rimmed glasses. She was wearing a cloak
that concealed most of her body, but he could tell she was a knockout.
She seemed kind of familiar, but he couldn't say from where he had seen
her. He wanted to say something, but couldn't think of anything.
She turned and started walking away, stopped for a moment, and then
headed for the door marked employees only. John turned and walked away.
"Why couldn't I have just said hi?" he thought to himself. "Maybe it
could've started a conversation."
He walked on feeling depressed. Stopping at an electronics booth, he
looked at a variety of new computer games that would soon be on the
market.
"Amazing magic box for sale." A man was calling out.
Most of the people walked by and ignored the man, but John stopped.
"What does it do?"
He looked at him and smiled. "It will make your dreams come true."
"That's pretty vague." John said skeptically.
"Let me put it this way, two days ago I was a virgin and last night I
got laid by the hottest girl here." The man quickly glanced around and
then smiled at John. "And now she is going to be my girlfriend
forever."
"Uh yeah." John said about to turn and walk on.
"Oh Shit!" The guy said seeing something over John's shoulder. "I was
going to sell this for a mint, but now I'm out of time. She's heading
this way. I don't have time to explain, but if she finds out I'm
selling the magic box she'd kill me. Make an offer. Anything." He said
desperately.
John compulsively reached in to his pocket and pulled out a bill. "Ten
bucks."
"It's worth way more than that."
John started to walk away.
"Okay." the guy said grabbing the money and shoving the briefcase into
John's arms. "Now get out of here and don't let her see that you have
it."
John stepped to the side and watched as the man was approached by one
of the most beautiful women he had ever seen. She was dressed as a
harem girl, her ample cleavage prominently on display, and her amazing
body slightly visible through the gossamer outfit she wore. She had
stunning blue eyes and cascading blond hair that spilled down over her
shoulders. Every set of male eyes followed her as she made her way up
to the man John had just bought the case from. She grabbed him, gave
him a long kiss, then whispered something to him and smiled. John
looked down at the case he had under his arm and gripped it tighter
against his body.
John looked back over when he heard the woman giggling and saw her in
the man's arms.
"This is so amazing!" He over heard her say. "I make a commotion
everywhere I go. People keep wanting to take my picture. And everywhere
I go I get stuff for free. You should try it. Oh yeah, I just
remembered. I got some back stage passes from a guy for some special
Buffy event that will be starting shortly. Let's go." She said grabbing
the man's hand and dragging him off.
John watched as they disappeared from his sight. It suddenly struck
him, and he started looking around for a hidden cameras. He stood there
for a few moments figuring Jamie Kennedy or someone like him was about
to pop out, but no one did. He drifted over to a booth and started
absentmindedly looking at various magazine covers for some time,
thinking of his perfect girl. His cell phone ringer brought him back to
reality.
"Hey John! Were almost to the parking lot. If you're not here in five
minutes we're leaving with out you."
"Fuck!" John thought as he looked at his watch and realized he was
supposed to meet his friends about twenty minutes ago.
"I'll be right there." John said as he hung up his cell phone and took
off running through the convention center.
Over the loudspeakers he heard, "Please make your way to staging area B
were there will be a unique presentation by Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Creator Joss Whedon and with special appearance by the Slayer herself,
Sarah Michelle Gellar."
John continued to move his husky mass through the crowd, clutching the
metallic suitcase tightly under his arm.
"They better not leave without me." he thought, when someone collided
into him and they both went tumbling to the ground.
John grabbed up the suitcase and saw that he had run into the girl in
the cloak that he had wanted to talk to earlier. He had considered
helping her up, but was afraid she might start yelling at him, so he
shyly mumbled an apology and took off running again. The girl looked at
him then took off running in the other direction.
John sat in the back seat of Matt's station wagon listening to Steve go
on about how he had made a fantastic find of an original Captain Picard
figure, but both John and Matt screamed when they heard how much he had
paid for it. After mocking Steve mercilessly for some time, the three
friends feel silent for a few moments and John started reflecting on
what the man had said about the case he had just bought.
"If you could have any girl in the world, who would you pick?" John
said as he held the suitcase in his arms.
"Brittany Spears." Steve said.
Matt and John both groaned.
"Why is that always your answer." Matt said.
"She's hot and she rich." Steve said.
"Whatever." Matt said and thought about his response and then smiled.
"I would have to say Joanna Wilson."
"Is that why you keep hanging out after school watching the girls swim
team practice."
"Yep. I've given up my fourteenth level magic user for watching a girl.
Or at least I did until some of the football players ran me off on
Friday. I wasn't happy about it, but I have to admit that they have
good taste too."
John slapped his hand to his forehead realizing who the perfect girl
was.
John starred in awe at the picture of the sexy harem girl displayed on
the panel of the machine. He had just gotten home with the strange
metallic suitcase and after messing with it for a few moments, it
stretched and grew until it was the size of a phone booth.
"What is it?" He said looking the box up and down. "This is to weird.
Maybe I should've told Matt about this after we dropped Steve off."
He rested his hand on the ruby control panel as he started thinking
about Matt. He watched on the screen as the form of the harem girl
shifted to that of his friend dressed as he had last seen him.
"This is to cool! It can read my mind. Let's see if this thing really
works." He sat looking at the control panel and concentrated on the
girl he had always had a crush on. Slowly her form appeared on the
screen.
"Amazing." He said in disbelief. "She is the hottest girl in school.
She the hottest girl anywhere."
He reached up and touched the purple knob by the control panel. As he
did so, a door appeared on the side of the phone booth like box. John
cautiously looked at the new opening and wondered how any of this was
possible. Inside the box he saw another purple knob.
"I wish that guy would have told me how this works?" He said stepping
in to the box and touching the knob.
What John would quickly learn is that the machine would change anyone
who entered it, into what ever they had envisioned on the screen.
Within seconds the box had changed John to match the image that he had
given it. Stepping out of the box John dropped the pompoms he was now
holding. Shocked, he thought that the box had somehow changed his
clothes into those of a cheerleader, but then he realized that his body
had been changed as well. He rushed into the bathroom and looked in the
mirror. He was greeted by the image of an attractive busty blond
cheerleader who he had a crush on for the last three years.
"Oh my God." He said bring his hands to his new breasts. "I'm Linda
Stevens..."
John let out a scream and ran back into his bedroom.
"This isn't my dream." He said in frustration to the machine. "I wanted
Linda to be my girlfriend, not to be turned into her. OH my God! Please
tell this isn't permanent."
He frantically put his hand back on ruby control panel and thought of
himself again. Slowly the image of his old form appeared on the screen.
He stepped inside and pressed the purple knob. In a few seconds he
reemerged from the booth in his old body.
"Did that really just happen?" He looked down at the two discarded
pompoms on the floor. "Amazing. I can change into anyone I want and
back again."
Sunday morning
Faith, formerly James, pulled up in front of the house she had grown up
in. She knew her parents weren't home, but she still felt like she was
somehow going to be caught and have to explain the strange
circumstances of her new form. After about a minute she saw her sister
Linda come out the front door, run up to the car and get in.
"Why are you wearing your cheerleader outfit?" Faith said giving her
sister a strange look.
"I'm sorry James, I forgot we're taking pictures today. It will only
take about fifteen minutes, and I don't have to be there until two. I
have a change of clothes for afterwards. Now let's go check out your
place of yours and then you can tell me everything about Dan and all
that has happened since... you know."
"I know. Since this happened." Faith said gesturing to herself. "I'll
tell you everything, but please call me Faith. It's hard having two
identities, so I am going with the one that matches my body."
Faith and Linda talked all the way back to Faith's apartment and for
the next hour and a half. Faith broke down and cried when she talked
about how she had to 'put down' her best friend Max and his girlfriend
who were trying to kill her. She told Linda all about the Morphic
Adaptation Unit, how their brother was now being restrained in a
government facility, about her prophetic dream which saved Linda's
life, and reluctantly, the sexually frustrated feelings she was having
and the strange desires she was starting to feel.
"Come on James. Sorry, Faith. Let me take you out for your first day as
a free woman. I'll help you deal with this. We'll figure it out
together."
"Thanks Little Sis."
"Hate to tell you this Big Bro, but we're probably about the same age
now." Linda said trying to lighten the moment.
"You want to grab some lunch, then we can go get your pictures taken."
"Not just yet Faith. We have a serious matter to take care of before we
go."
"What's that?"
"It's something that I think will help you get in touch with your new
feminine side and will help you come to appreciate your body in a new
way." Linda said enthusiastically.
"Uh, what's that?
"Your makeover."
"My What?"
***
John reached over and silenced the annoying sound of his alarm buzzer.
"What a weird dream I was having." He thought to himself as he
stretched and yawned. He sat up and felt the strange sensation of
having his long hair cascading down his shoulders.
"Oh my God." And was shocked by the sound of his own voice.
He quickly put his hand to his throat, then slowly moved it down to the
lacey bustier that now covered his firm breasts. He then hesitantly
moved his hands down to the lacey panties and garters that he was
wearing. Still sliding his hands down further he felt the lace top
stockings that covered his legs.
He looked over and saw the strange phone booth like machine sitting in
front of his bed like the monolith from the end of the movie 2001: A
Space Odyssey. Slowly he climbed out of bed and peaked his head out his
door. He listened, and then gave a sigh of relief. His parents still
weren't home yet, and looking over at the clock, they wouldn't be for
another 6 or 7 hours. He opened up his door and stepped into the
bathroom. He looked at the mirror and Linda smiled back at him. He had
changed into so many different people throughout the night he couldn't
even remember them all. Once he couldn't think of any one else to
change into, he went on to the Internet and found different people at
random. Celebrates, pictures from personal ads, politicians, porn
stars, and then he found a lingerie model, who was drop dead gorgeous,
but as he looked at himself in the models body, he couldn't help but
wonder what Linda would look like in the same lingerie. So he changed
in her and after he saw what she would look like, laid down to rest for
a minute.
"This has been a fantastic night, but now what do I do?"
He picked up the phone and started to dial Matt, but stopped when he
caught sight of his reflection. He quickly changed back into himself
and called his best friend.
"Hello?"
"Hey Matt, it's John. Get over here as quick as you can. I have
something amazing to show you."
Matt sat in utter astonishment as he watched Linda Stevens dressed in
her cheerleading uniform exit from the machine that John had just
stepped into.
"That's really you in there?"
"It sure is. You should try it." John said approaching his friend.
"But you're a girl." Matt gaze slowly dropped. "And those are real?" He
said indicating to Linda's size C breasts pressed firmly against the
tight sweater he now wore.
"These? Oh yeah, they're as real as the rest of me." John said waving a
hand up and down his body.
"Can... can I touch them?" Matt said as he reached out his hand.
"No!" John said slapping his hand away. "I just turned into Linda to
show you that it could be done. If you want to feel some boobies, you
can turn yourself into anyone you want and play with your own all day."
"I don't want to turn myself in to anyone. And I defiantly don't want
to turn into a girl. I'm happy with being who I am."
"Ha!" said John in Linda's voice.
"Besides," Matt said looking at the cheerleader who stared at him with
a look of disbelief on her attractive face. "How do you know that this
thing isn't giving you cancer or taking over your mind or something?
What is it really and where did it come from?"
"I don't know and I don't care. For the first time in my life, I'm not
overweight and I'm popular."
"John, you're a chick."
"For now Matt, but I, or I should say we, can make ourselves look like
anyone we want. We can find out what it is to be one of the 'in' crowd,
or we could make ourselves popular. We could start making minor changes
to our bodies, fixing things over time so no one suspects anything.
Once we reach our ideal forms people will want to hang out with us
because we will be perfect. Come on, isn't there anything you would
want to change about yourself?"
Matt unconsciously reached up and brushed his hand against his acne
scared face.
"Come on Matt. I know you want to try it. Don't be afraid."
"Maybe later." Matt said looking at the machine.
"Okay, but will you do me a favor?"
"Yeah."
"I want to go out, but I'm afraid to go by myself. Will you drive me
somewhere?"
"Sure. Where?"
"Hmmm." John looked down at his cheerleading uniform. "How about
school?"
***
"Okay Big Bro, take a look." Linda said as she finished the final
touches to Faith's make-up.
Faith stared wide-eyed into the mirror. She had been so busy fighting
the vampires since she had changed; she had never spent anytime
acclimating to being female. She had no time for experimenting with
clothes or make-up and had become accustomed to dressing for a fight
and never worrying about how she looked. Now she wore a sexy little
tube dress that just barely covered her breasts and fell just a few
inches below her hips. Her hair and make-up were flawlessly done and
she wore three-inch heels.
"I haven't looked this good since I first transformed myself with that
machine."
"You really are very beautiful. You need to learn to do this yourself."
"Since I've changed, I been beaten by the cops, locked up in a metal
ward, and spent every moment since I got out of there fighting
vampires. I haven't really had time."
"Well, now you do, and I can teach you everything that you'll need to
know. Well, let's go get my pictures out of the way, then you can
experience one of the best parts about being a woman."
"What's that?" Faith asked.
"Going to the mall." Linda said grabbing her back pack and heading for
the door.
"Wait a second. I can't go out dressed like this. I feel naked. This
dress barely covers me."
"Come on Faith. You look fantastic. Every eye will be on you."
"I don't want every eye on me. I'm going to change."
"Faith. I know this is hard for you, but you're a beautiful woman now,
so you should see what benefits the world does now hold for you. If you
don't like it you can change before we go to the mall."
Faith hesitated, but wanted her sister to think that she was helping,
so she reluctantly gave in.
"Maybe you should drive Linda." Faith said handing her the keys.
"Why?"
"I don't have a license yet and I don't want to get in any trouble with
the cops. There might be some out there who might remember me from a
few weeks ago."
Linda smiled and took the car keys. Faith bit her lower lip as she took
one last look at her reflection in the mirror. She sighed looking at
the reflection of the woman she now was, then turned and followed her
sister to the car.
***
Matt parked his green Ford station wagon in the student parking lot of
the school.
"Why did you want to come to school of all places? And on a Sunday." He
said to John.
"I want to get inside Linda's head and what better place to do it than
here."
"Get in side of her head? Look at yourself, you're inside of her body."
He said looking at the captain of the cheerleader squad that sat beside
him.
"When I am done turning myself into the perfect guy, I am going to want
to make Linda my girlfriend, so I am just trying to understand Linda a
little better now."
"I guess so." Matt said skeptically. "So now what do you want to do?"
"I'm just going to walk around the campus and get a feel for what it's
like to be Linda."
"Do you want me to go with you?" Matt asked.
"No. I'll walk around for a few minutes, maybe I'll run into someone
she knows and I'll see if I can fool them into thinking I'm her. I'll
be back in about twenty minutes."
Matt couldn't help but stare at the sexy cheerleader's legs as she
gracefully got out of his car. He felt himself starting to become
aroused as he put from his mind that was his best friend and he just
stared at the attractive girl that was walking away from his car.
"Oh shit." Matt said aloud as he watched John enter the quad area and
saw the entire cheerleading squad come running out of the gymnasium
towards his best friend.
John was feeling an excitement he had never felt before as he walked
onto the campus. He pretended for a moment that he was the most popular
girl in school and that everyone loved him. He was really enjoying the
feeling of being attractive and sexy. He was no longer one of the fat,
nerds of the school, he was now the head cheerleader, the one that all
the girls wanted to be friends with and all the guys just wanted. Linda
ruled this school and he was finding out what it was like to be her.
"Linda!" Several girls' voices screamed.
"Where have you been?" One girl called out.
"Hurry up, the photographer is ahead of schedule and is ready for our
pictures." Another yelled.
"Linda come on." Several of the girls called out.
John turned when he heard all the girls shouting, then to his horror he
realized that they were shouting to him. His first instinct was to run
and he would have, but before he knew it three of the girls had run up
to him and were pulling him towards the gymnasium.
"We've been trying you at home for the last hour? The photographer
showed up early and is ready. He got his times mixed up and will have
to leave soon. At least we'll get out of here early." Linda's best
friend Tina said.
"But..." John tried to say as the gymnasium doors closed behind him.
Matt watched as the doors closed. "Oh shit." He got out of his car and
started heading towards the gym, unsure of what he would do when he got
there.
Faith sat absentmindedly thinking about how strange her life was as
they pulled into the student parking lot. Faith noticed a somewhat odd
teenage boy running across the parking lot towards the gym as Linda
parked the car. She watched as he tried the door, which appeared to be
locked, then saw him turn and run around the corner of the building.
"Come on. I'll introduce you to all my friends. We were all going to
meet in the girls locker room before the pictures." Linda said
excitedly.
"Okay, just tell everyone I'm your cousin from out of town."
"Right, Big Bro."
"Faith from now on."
"How about if I call you Sharon or Susan." She said joking.
"Faith is fine."
"Or maybe Samantha or Elizabeth."
"Let's get to the locker room before you start calling me Heidi."
As they were walking to the locker room they saw the girls swim team
practicing. A group of guys gathered around the fence watching them as
they swam. "This isn't happening." Faith thought to herself as the
approached the group of teenage boys. "Why did I let Linda talk me into
wearing this?"
"Eric!" Linda yelled out and ran over and hugged one of the boys. Faith
watched as he indifferently hugged her sister. He wondered if it was to
seem cool in front of his friends or if he was just an asshole. From
what he remembered of him from when he had meet him as Linda's brother,
he thought he was just an asshole.
"Eric, I want you to meet my Cousin Faith, she's out visiting for
awhile."
Faith felt a feeling of revulsion, as her sister's boyfriend, the
captain of the football team, was checking his female body out. "Oh
God. Linda must really love this guy. Why can't she see him for the
creep that he is?" Faith thought to herself.
"What's up?" He said. The four other football players all came over and
started to introduce themselves to Faith.
"This is ridiculous. I'm a piece of meat on display." Faith thought as
she felt her cheeks redden with embarrassment as the five teenage boys
all stared at her cleavage. "Let's get to the locker room." Faith said
to Linda.
"See ya later sweetie." Linda said to Eric.
"Right Baby."
As they entered the locker room Faith stopped holding her breath.
"Linda, I am really not comfortable dress like this. I should never
have let you talk me into this. I am still a guy, if only on the
inside, I can't pretend to be something I'm not. You go take your
pictures and I'll go home and change into something a lot less
revealing."
"Jam... Faith I'm sorry. I didn't think we would run into anything like
that. Why don't I meet you at the mall in a half an hour at the food
court."
Faith left the locker room and headed back towards his car. "I can't
believe they were freaking me out. I fought vampires with no fear, but
teenage boys scare me half to death. Why is that? I guess I don't do
that well against something human." She thought. She was halfway to the
car, when she saw something that made her stop.
***
Matt ran to the back entrance of the gym and saw all the cheerleaders
standing around ready to get their pictures taken. Matt was sure that
John must be in shock. He observed Linda standing with a group of girls
who were all giggling, but Matt couldn't make out about what. He
watched as the photographer had them line up for their pictures.
"I think he's actually going to pull this off." Matt thought watching
how no one seemed to notice anything unusual about Linda. "Maybe I will
give that thing a try."
"Hey, you freak'n pervert, get the hell out of here." Tina yelled out
when she saw Matt staring at them.
Matt took off running as the other girls started yelling over at him.
Scare of being caught by the activity advisor, he ran out of the gym
and back by the pool. He was running at a full sprint when he turned
the corner and ran into the group of five football players. Colliding
with Eric, they both tumbled to the ground.
"Matt you faggot. What did I tell you about hanging out at the pool?
Didn't I make it clear what we would do to you if we caught you here
again?" Eric said pushing Matt off of him.
Matt tried to get up and run, but two of the football players grabbed
him and held him up against the wall.
"I guess you didn't believe me, so I am going to have to teach you a
lesson." Eric said, and then punched Matt hard in the stomach. "Don't
worry faggot, there is plenty more where that came from." He said as he
punched him again in the stomach and then hit him in the face. The
other boys were cheering him on as he hit Matt again, and was drawing
back to hit him again, when something caught his arm in mid swing and
held it.
"Break me off a switch boy, there's goin' to be a whoppin!" Faith said
with a wicked grin on her face. With ease she shoved Eric into one of
the other football players who had been standing by. Eric slammed into
him and they both toppled to the ground. "Five against one, not really
following the sportsmen like spirit, is it?"
Eric scrambled to his feet and looked at the 5'4" girl who had just
tossed him aside like he was a rag doll. Girl or not, his first impulse
was to hit her, but his football scholarship and later career would be
history if he got busted for beating up a girl, at least until he had
made it to the pros.
"We were just having a little fun." He said looking at the others. The
two holding Matt let him go and he fell to the ground clutching his
stomach. Eric looked down at Matt, "And don't come back faggot."
"You want to go again." Faith said stepping between Eric and Matt.
Eric really wanted to hit her, but she wasn't worth it, so he just
laughed and turned away, followed by the others.
Faith was disappointed as she watched the five of them just walk away.
She turned and helped Matt up.
"Are you okay?"
Matt looked up at the beautiful woman who was helping him up and
recognized her.
"Weren't you in that movie 'Bring It On'?" He asked.
"I get that a lot," Faith said getting used to the easy lie, "but I
just look a lot like her." Faith said easily helping him to his feet.
Matt, wheezing and in pain, accepted Faith's response and all thoughts
of the five football players who had just been beating him left his
mind as he looked at the beautiful girl.
"You sure look a lot like her."
"Thanks." Faith said. "Are you going to be okay?"
"Yeah, thanks."
"Well, I have to get going. Take care."
"Thanks." Matt said as he watched her walk off to the parking lot and
get in her car. "She looks just like that girl from 'Bring It On'."
He heard a splash and turned to see several of the girls on the swim
team in line to use the high dive. Matt watched as Joanna Wilson
climbed the ladder.
"God she is so hot. I'd give anything to see her naked." He thought. He
turned back to see Faith starting her car and driving away. "And why
the hell can't I? I got to go find John?"
Linda put her backpack in her gym locker and sat waiting for the rest
of the cheerleading squad to show up.
"They all can't be this late." She thought to herself looking at the
time. "Maybe they're all in the gym. You think they would've at least
sent someone over to get me by now."
She walked over to the gym, but found the side door locked. Walking
around to the front entrance she could hear the sounds of all the girls
coming from inside the gymnasium.
"Okay, thank you everyone. That's the last picture." A voice yelled out
from inside the gym.
"What?" She thought as she hurried towards the door. "They can't have
taken the pictures without me. What's going..."
She froze, as she looked though the doorway and saw herself standing
around with all the girls. Several of the girls were already heading
out the side entrance, but she saw that her copy and Tina were talking
and laughing about something. Linda quickly ducked to the side to not
be seen. She could hear that Tina was going to the dressing room to
change and her clone was going along with her, giggling as she
followed.
"Whoever did that must have used one of those machines that James told
me about. I have to go get to a phone and call him."
She rushed out of the gym's front entrance and was going to the
payphone when she saw Matt Kellogg frantically waving at her. She
slowed as she approached him.
"Come on John, let's get the hell out of here." He said to her.
"I..." She started to say, but realized that he thought that she was
John, probably his best friend John Miller who he always hung out with.
"So John Miller is the one who now looks like me. Gross!" She thought.
"So soon?" Linda said, playing along.
"I just got my ass kicked by those football players again, but that's
not important right now. I want to go use the machine. I know who I
want to change myself into and where I want to go." He said smiling.
"Okay, let's go. I want to make sure the machines okay. How long have
we had it on for again? I mean since we first activated it?" Linda
asked as casually as she could under the circumstances.
"Well, since last night when you first started using it, so that's
probably about 17 hours." Matt said.
"Great!" Linda thought to herself, that means there is more than three
days left for the machine to still be active. Plenty of time to get it
to James so that he can change back and maybe they can find a cure for
Dan too.
Matt and Linda walked out and got into Matt's station wagon.
"So how was it being Linda?" Matt asked.
"Okay."
"Okay?" Matt said exacerbated. "That's all you wanted to do was be her
for the afternoon and it's just been okay. You were hanging out with
all those foxy cheerleaders. Probably getting to feel them up and all
you can say was it was just okay?"
"Yeah." She said, and then she added in hopes of appeasing him. "It was
fun, more than I could have hopped for, those chicks are wild. I got to
cop a feel here and there." She said with a laugh, hoping she was
saying what Matt wanted to hear.
Matt laughed. "Why should you get all the fun." He said and then paused
looking at her with a smile on his face. Before she could react Matt's
hands were groping her breasts.
"Stop that." She said slapping his hands away. She suppressed her first
instinct to hit him and run. "Let's just get back to the machine so I
can change back." She said and then gritted her teeth.
"Sorry dude, but I had to do that. You can't expect to have boobs like
that and not get them grabbed. I don't know why I didn't use the
machine earlier, but now I am ready." He said as he started the car and
headed for John's house.
As they exited the parking lot, neither of them noticed that a red
mustang pulling out after and following them.
Eric had wanted to kick the crap out of Matt, but Linda's dam cousin
had gotten in the way. When he had first seen Linda's cousin, he had
thought she was hot, but after she had humiliated him he had wanted to
beat the crap out of her and then fuck her brains out. He was going to
follow her, but she had driven off before he could get to his car. So
he sat behind the wheel fuming, when had seen Matt run to the front of
the gym. He was going to take his rage out on him, but he saw Linda
come out of the gym and started talking with him in an overly friendly
manor. He was about to get out of his mustang and kick his ass, when he
saw Linda and Matt go off to his station wagon. From where he sat, Eric
saw Linda acting overly friendly to Matt and once they were in the car,
he could see that Matt was feeling her up.
"That fucking bitch. I was going to dump her for not putting out, but
now she is going off with a fucking nerd to go suck his dick."
Eric watched as the station wagon pulled off on to the main street. He
started his mustang and followed them.
Linda sat nervously thinking about what she should do next as Matt talk
about his plans for using the machine.
"The first thing I do after I change is go back to school, go to the
girls locker room and watch Joanna Wilson shower. Heck, I might even
shower with her. We've both seen enough movies about girl's locker
rooms to know what might happen next. Hey John, are you listening to
me?" Matt asked.
"Huh?" Linda said. "Oh yeah. A lot has happened and I am just trying to
take it all in." She wanted to call Faith, but her cell phone was back
in her bag at the school, and she didn't know how long Faith would be
at her apartment. If she missed Faith, she didn't know what she would
do.
Matt and Linda pulled into John's parent's driveway and parked, not
noticing the red Mustang that parked down the street.
Linda was careful to let Matt lead the way, so that he wouldn't notice
that she didn't know her way around the house. Matt took off towards
the backdoor of the house, which was unlocked. Linda followed him in
and down a hallway into John's bedroom. There she saw what here brother
had described as a phone booth like device of alien construction that
had changed him into a duplicate of Faith from the show Buffy the
Vampire Slayer.
"How does this work again." Matt asked looking at the machine.
"It's really simple." Linda said, trying to remember everything Faith
had told her about the device.
"What's this do?" Matt said fumbling with the control panel. Suddenly
the phone booth collapsed in on it's self and shrank back down to the
size of a suitcase. "Wow." Matt said surprised. Pressing the panel
again the suitcase stretched out and returned to the phone shape.
"What did you just press?" Linda said getting an idea. Matt then showed
her, careful not to press it again.
Matt then just stood looking at the machine again. "Man, I think I am
getting cold feet. After seeing that I don't know if I want to change
after all. What if that happened while I was inside? You go ahead and
change, I still have to think about this." Matt said.
"Uh, I don't really feel like changing right now." Linda said
apprehensively. "You want to see Joanna Wilson don't you." Linda said
goading Matt on.
"Yeah, but I still don't feel safe with the idea of that thing
rearranging my molecules."
"Oh come on dude, Joanna Wilson is so hot, you know you want to check
her out."
"I do, but..." An idea occurred to Matt. "You're a really hot chick
right now. Why don't you take off your clothes and show me what Linda
Stevens looks like naked."
"No way." Linda snapped.
"Come on John. You've gotten to see her in all her glory, now how about
me?"
"I don't think so." Linda said starting to get a real uneasy feeling
from Matt.
"Come on, just take your top off. I just want to see'em." Matt said
reaching down and starting to pull Linda's top up.
"Don't!" She said pulling her top back down.
"Remember when we wrestled that time and you pinned me in under ten
seconds? Well, I bet I could take you now." Matt said getting ready to
pounce.
"Don't you even fuck'in think about it." Linda said snapping at Matt
forgetting for a moment that she was pretending to be John.
She could see that she had shocked him. She had wanted to tell him off,
but the way he was still looking at her, she began to feel afraid that
Matt wasn't going to hesitate much longer. She didn't know Matt well
enough to know if it was safe to be herself and alone in the room with
him, so she made a quick decision. She stepped over to the box and her
hand was trembling as she touched the ruby control plate. Panicking,
she thought of John and his image, stored with in the machine,
instantly came up on the screen. She stepped into the booth and touched
the purple knob. The door closed and with in a few seconds, John
stepped out.
Karen felt a strange feeling of claustrophobia in John's body. She now
stood 5'9" and weighed 220 pounds, which was two inches taller and a
full 100 pounds heaver than her old body. As she caught sight of
herself in the mirror she wanted to scream. In place of her long,
shinny blond hair, she now had near shoulder length, unkempt, greasy
brown hair. Her blue eyes were now brown and her near perfect
complexion was gone, and in its place was John's, which was broken out
with zits. Her cheerleading out fit had been replaced with a pair of
brown corduroy pants, a black Babylon 5 T-shirt, a green corduroy coat,
white socks and a pair of brown sandals.
"All I need is a pair of glasses and a pocket protector." She thought
to her self. "I have to get rid of Matt, then I can change back and get
this thing to James."
"How do I look?" A familiar female voice said from behind Linda.
Linda turned and gasped. She had not noticed that Matt had been using
the machine while she had been looking at herself in the mirror. Matt
now looked exactly like Faith.
"I got the idea from this girl I saw at school today. She looked almost
exactly like the cheerleader from 'Bring It On', so I got the idea to
change myself into the actress from that movie."
"I..." Was all Linda was able to say? She was now looking at an exact
copy of the form she had now come to know as her brother. Matt now wore
a pair of tight blue jeans and a mini black T-shirt that showed a good
portion of her tight belly.
Matt looked over at the clock. "Let's go to the mall for an hour and
then head back to school. Swim practice should be over by then, and I
am going to see if I can catch Joanna Wilson in the showers. That would
kick ass. You want to change and go with me?"
"No that's okay. You take off and I'll meet you later." Linda said
Neither Matt nor Linda noticed that Eric had watched everything that
had just happened from just outside the window. He sat there wondering
at first if it was some type of trick, but then realized that it was
real. He wondered where the hell they got this machine and if it could
do anything else other than change one person into another. Then he got
an idea.
Linda couldn't believe her luck as she watched Matt walk down the
hallway. She waited until she heard his car start up and pull away and
then she rushed to the phone. "Oh shit, what's James' number again?"
She started dialing the number, but froze when she heard the front door
open and someone call out.
"John we're home." Linda heard a man's voice call out.
Linda hung up the phone and raced to the machine. She pressed the panel
and the machine shrunk back down to the size of a brief case.
"John, come help your mother and I unload the car." The voice called
out.
Linda slid the case under John's bed, then reluctantly went out and
helped John's parents bring in their luggage from the car.
Linda did some fast-talking when they asked what their son had been up
to the whole weekend while they were gone and then quickly excused
herself to go back to John's room. Linda wanted to use the machine
right then to change herself back, but if John's parents came in and
caught her, she wouldn't know what to say. Reluctantly, she grabbed the
metal case and hurried out the back door. She started trotting down the
road, but was soon winded and had to slow to a fast walk. She was half
a block from John's house when she heard someone running up behind her.
Just as she turned to see who was coming up on her, Eric leaped and
tackled her, knocking her to the ground. Before she knew what was
happening fists were furiously pounding against her face. She tried as
best she could to block her face with her arms, but it did little good.
"You sick faggot! I was outside your fucking window just now and I saw
you change yourself back from being my girlfriend."
"Eric." Linda sobbed. "It's me Linda. I AM your girlfriend. You don't
understand."
"You fuck'in pervert, I understand alright. You and Matt have found
some type of fuckin' machine that let's you turn into other people and
you turned yourself in to my Linda." Eric said as he continued to hurl
punches. "I also saw that other queer changing himself back into 'your
cousin'. I'll fuckin' deal with him later, but for now I am taking
this." He said as he yanked the machine away from Linda.
"No!" She cried trying to hold onto it, but felt it slip from her
fingers. Eric took off running down the street with the case tucked
under his arm like a large football.
Linda painfully scrambled to her feet and took off after him shouting.
"Eric wait! It's me Linda!" But Eric easily outdistanced his now pudgy,
male girlfriend. Linda watched as Eric jumped into his Mustang and
accelerated away.
***
Faith had just slipped on a pair of jeans and was looking for a shirt
to wear when she heard the phone ring.
"Dam." She thought as she started racing down the hallway to the
kitchen phone. "All the money they spent for this place and you think
they would have bought me more than one phone."
"Hello." She said picking up the phone. She heard the sound of the
signal disconnecting and the line going back to dial tone.
"Must not have been very important." She hung up the phone. "Now what
to wear, the black shirt or the red one? I'm feeling like red today."
She said pulling on the red T-shirt that fit snuggly to her body. "Now
to meet Linda at the mall."
***
John and Tina left the girl's locker room and headed for the parking
lot.
"I can't believe you didn't bring anything else to change into." Tina
said to John thinking it was her best friend Linda.
"Yeah, I just forgot." John said, still giddy from getting to watch
Tina change her clothes in front of him. He looked around for Matt as
he and Tina walked out to her car, but saw that Matt's car was now
gone.
"Do you need a ride home?"
"No thanks." John said. "I have a ride on the way."
"Eric coming to pick you up? You'd better be careful with that one
girlfriend."
John shuddered at the thought of Eric touching him, but said "Yeah, I'm
meeting him here. Were going out later."
"You be careful. He not as sweet a guy as you think he is." She said
with a stern look as she started up her car.
John watched as Tina drove off. "Where the hell is Matt?" He thought to
himself as he started to walk home. "He must've of went back to my
place to change himself. I wonder what he's going to make himself look
like?"
John was part way home when he saw Matt's station wagon stopped at a
red light. He started running towards it when he saw that it wasn't
coming down the road to meet him, but was instead pulling into the mall
parking lot. Linda's breast bounced madly up and down even with the
support of the sports bra he wore. John slowed a bit to ease the pain
and was close enough to see the driver when the light turned green and
the station wagon turned in to the mall parking lot.
"He, or I should say she didn't see me." John said out loud as he
quickly caught his breath. "He looked like that girl Missy from the
movie 'Bring It On'." John smiled as he headed towards the mall. "I
wonder why he didn't come pick me up?"
Matt parked his car and sat for a few seconds staring at the mall. He
looked at his reflection in the mirror and smiled. "Hey cutie, let's go
have some fun."
He entered the mall feeling very confident. Immediately he noticed
several lusty looks he was getting from guys. Smiling to himself and to
several of them he started towards his usual hang out at the video game
store but stopped himself.
"What am I doing? I'm a hot chick know and hot chicks don't hang out
playing video games." He started to head towards the food court in
hopes that desperate guys would buy him lunch when he stopped in his
tracks.
"Now this is going to be way to much fun." He said heading in to
Victoria's Secret.
***
Faith walked in to the mall and notice several lusty looks she was
getting from guys. Annoyed, she kept walking. "Why did I let Linda talk
me into hanging out here for the day." Faith remembered the last time
she had been in this mall. The day after she had first transformed she
had went on a shopping spree and bought herself a ton of lingerie.
"It was so different having guys check me out when I thought I could
change back." She thought to herself as she came in sight of Victoria's
Secrets. She walked right by it and made her way to the food court.
Faith, carrying the tray of free food she had just been given by the
teenage male casher, made her way to a table and sat down. "I hope
Linda doesn't mind if I eat before she gets here?"
***
John entered the mall looking for Matt. He felt very self-conscious of
the looks he was receiving from guys.
"Why did I have to wear a cheerleading outfit? I bet I'm every guy's
fantasy right now. God where's Matt?" John checked out the video game
store, but there was no sigh of him. "Well, if I was Matt where would I
be?" John walked around for a few minutes then saw him.
"There you are. Why didn't you come back to the school and pick me up?"
John said to the girl from the 'Bring it On' movie that was sitting at
the table eating lunch.
"I thought you would catch a ride from one of the girls." Faith said.
"And why'd you change?" John said looking at her body.
"After what happened with those guys at school, I wanted to 'put on'
something less, uh noticeable." Faith said looking down at the clothes
she now wore.
John sat down opposite Faith. "Put on. That's as good a term for it as
anything else I guess." John said. "Maybe would could try on some
different things latter?"
Faith sighed, afraid of another fashion make over. "I'm happy with what
I have on right now, but you should go over to that guy over there and
order something. You might not be interested in this, but that guy over
their gives free lunches to attractive girls. I guess I have found one
small benefit of having this body."
"Are you kidding?" John said heading off towards the guy.
A few minutes latter John was back with him free lunch.
"This is so cool." John said sitting down. "We are going to have so
much fun today. What do you want to do first?"
"Let's go to the arcade."
"Are you kidding? Girls as hot as us wouldn't be caught dead there."
John said with a sneer.
"What are you talking about Linda? You love the arcade." Faith said
looking at her sister.
"Well, not today." John smiled when he realized that he had just been
called Linda. "And what should I call you? Missy? Or how about
Torrance?"
Faith rolled her eyes at her sister still trying to find another new
name for her. "Faith is fine."
"Well let's hope we don't run into any vampires here at the mall!" John
said overly loud.
Faith stared at her sister in disbelief. "God, Linda, what the hell is
wrong with you? You're acting so out there right now, if I didn't know
any better I would say..."
"Oh come on Faith." John interrupted. "I was just kidding. So do you
want to go shopping at Victoria's Secret now?"
"You're kidding, right?" Just then Faith's cell phone went off. She
looked at it, then at a slightly confused John. "My cell phone has been
set up to go off if any one leaves a message for me at my home number.
It might be work, I'd better check this." Faith said getting up. "I'll
be right back."
John watched as Faith walked over to the entrance of the mall.
"What the hell is Matt doing? And where'd he get that phone? He sure is
acting weird. I wonder if..." John's blood ran cold as he saw an exact
copy of the girl he was just talking to come walking out of the
Victoria's Secret.
"Matt?" John said looking at one girl then the other. He quickly headed
for the girl who just came out of the store.
Matt had felt it a waste to spend any money on clothes for a body that
he wouldn't have for more than a day, and figured he could have the
machine put him in any outfit he wanted later anyway. He was window-
shopping when he caught sight of Linda Stevens heading straight for
him.
"Oh Shit!" He thought and turned as started walking towards him. "That
can't be John, he's still at his house. That has to be the real Linda
Stevens." He walked for twenty feet then stopped in front of a window.
"Why am I running? There's no way in the world she could know it's me?"
Matt stood looking at the window waiting for Linda to walk by, but
instead she came up and stood next to him looking at the same window.
"Um..." She said to Matt. "Matt?"
Matt turned. "John?"
"Is that really you Matt?"
"Yes."
"Prove it."
"Commander data's brothers name?"
"Lore. That's too easy."
"Storm's real name?"
"Ororo Munroe, but there's been two movies so anyone could know that."
"The Prisoner's number."
"Six."
"Okay, it's you." Matt said.
"Then who the hell is that?" John asked looking back at Faith in the
food court.
"I don't know, but let's get out of here. I want to get to swim
practice, before Joanna Wilson showers."
Faith dialed the remote access to her answering machine and listened to
the message. She first heard what sounded like someone crying and then
heard the voice of an unknown teenage boy.
"James listen to me!" The boy sobbed. "You're not going to believe
this, but this is your sister Linda." Faith felt nausea. "This guy at
my school named John Miller found one of your alien machines and turned
himself into a copy of me and I was trying to get the machine and had
to turn myself into him and then Eric thought that I was John and he
beat me up and took the machine away from me. He's supposed to meet up
with the some of the guys from the football team at the school, so he
might be there. I going there now, so when you get this message that is
where I'll be. OH God, I just remembered. Matt, one of John's friends
has, for some reason, turned himself in to a copy of you! I've really
screwed up Big Bro."
Faith heard the message end. She turned and scanned for Linda, hoping
that the message was somehow some type of cruel joke. She caught sight
of her sister standing on the far side of the food court, the momentary
relief faded as she recognized the figure standing next to her.
"Oh fuck!" Faith shouted and took of running towards the nearest exit.
***
Eric walked across the quad towards the boy's locker rooms holding the
metallic suitcase under his arm. He looked at his watch.
"The guys won't be here for another half hour. If this thing can make
us stronger and faster, we'll have the best football team ever. We'll
kick ass. We'll win state and nationals. No one would be able to beat
us."
He saw that the locker rooms were still unlocked and went inside.
Looking around he found some privacy in the weight training room and
started fiddling with the case. With in a few seconds it had grown
before his eyes to the phone booth like shape that he had seen earlier.
"Now let's see how this works." He thought as he touched the panel. The
last form that Matt had turned into was still saved there. Staring at
the screen the image morphed to that of Eric's.
"Sweet!" He thought as he then concentrated on the image becoming the
ultimate male. The machine interpreted his thoughts and his form on the
screen grew more muscular, until it looked like that of an Olympic
weight lifter.
"That's no good. I wouldn't be able to move and everyone would think I
was on steroids." He again concentrated and the machine reinterpreted
his thoughts and the form on the screen now looked exactly like his
current form.
"Did it work?" He thought going to the front of the booth. Touching the
crystal like he had seen John and Matt do earlier, the doorway suddenly
appeared. "Here's goes." He thought as he stepped inside and pressed
the panel.
"OH my god!" Eric thought as stepped from the booth. "I feel... fucking
great. I wonder if it worked."
He stepped over to one of the bench press machines and set it to it's
maximum. With ease he was bench-pressing the whole weight. Laughing out
loud he go up and punched the punching bag. As soon as his fist
connected with the bag, the bag went flying across the room.
"I'm unstoppable!" He yelled. "This is fucking great. Once the rest of
the team uses this thing, we'll be better than the pros." He looked up
at the clock. "They still won't be here for another twenty-five
minutes."
Eric walked out to the front of the locker room. He felt the raw
strength and agility of his new form flowing through him. He was now
easily the strongest man on the planet. He looked over at the swimming
pool and saw that the girls swim team was just ending its practice.
Eric watched as the girls got out of the pool and were heading towards
the girls locker room.
"Oh my God!" Was all he was able to say as he felt the rawest,
strongest sexual desirer he had ever felt in his life. Eric didn't
understand that the machine had also interpreted in his concept that
the ultimate male would have a hyperactive sex drive.
"There's Joanna Wilson. I got get into her pants right now." He thought
as she hurried into the girl's locker room and disappeared from his
sight. "Fuck, she going to be in there showering now." The thought of
the girl of his desires naked furthered his sexual frustration. "I just
want to see her. I..." He turned and hurried back into the weight room.
He stepped up to the machine and paused. "What now?"
He concentrated on the machine willing it to make him invisible, but
the machine refused to respond.
"What the fuck." He thought ready to hit it, but watched as a strange
alien writing scrolled by. "Maybe it can't give super powers. What else
can I do to get in there?" He thought for a second. "Oh, what the
fuck."
He started concentrating on Shannon Bailey.
"There's no way that slut would be around here today. Ever since she
turned eighteen, she gave up fucking the football team and then started
doing fraternity guys. Last I heard of her, she ran away from home with
some bass player from a garage band."
He thought as Shannon's image appeared on the screen. With out
hesitation Eric stepped in and pressed the crystal. The sexy, tall, tan
blond emerged from the booth clutching both of her D cupped sized
breasts. She wore the same slutty outfit she had on the same clothes on
the last time that Eric had fucked her. She wore tight cutoff jeans
shorts and a red halter-top.
"Oh wow." Eric thought as a whole new set of hormones flowing through
his new body started to make their presence know.
Ignoring them as best as he could, Eric snuck out the front door of the
boy's locker room and took off towards the girl's locker room. The sway
of his new hips and bounce of his large breasts were a little
unsettling for him, but the machine had created the body to his exact
instructions and had modified his mind just enough to make him
comfortable with his new body.
Walking into the girl's locker room, he saw several of the girls were
already naked and making their way towards the showers. He grabbed a
towel and started talking off his clothes as he headed towards the
showers.
Linda, still sore from the beating she had just received, walked by
Eric's mustang in the parking lot of the school. She was sore and
sweating from all the exertion of having to run as best she could to
the school. Panting she caught her breath as she walked towards the
locker rooms. Just as she was about to walk into the boy's locker room,
she was suddenly caught from behind and spun around. She saw the face
of Josh, Eric's best friend, and three other football players grabbing
a hold of her and pulling her off to the side of the building.
"We told your faggot friend Matt to stay away from here. I thought you
nerds were smart enough to know better. Now we're going to make an
example of you." Josh said hitting Linda in the stomach. She fell to
her knees in pain.
"You don't understand, I..." Josh and another of the football players
began kicking her.
She rolled into a fetal position holding her arms over her head
protecting herself as best she could. As she began to cry the other two
football players began to laugh at her and while the first two
continued to kick her.
With in a few seconds the laughter and the kicking stopped. Linda lay
weeping on the ground. She felt someone gently place a hand on her
shoulder and kneel beside her.
"You okay?" She heard Faith's voice.
"James! Thank God." She said grabbing Faith in a sobbing embrace.
"Linda? Is that you? Are you alright?" Faith said tenderly. "Where's
Eric?"
"Yes it's me." Linda said with a sob. "I don't know I just got here."
Linda said then saw the four unconscious football players lying around
her. "His car is here, so he must be inside."
"Let's go." Faith said helping Linda to her feet.
Eric's wet hair clung wetly onto his back as he finished fumbling with
his halter top, which he managed with some difficulty to get back on.
"What the hell is going on?" He thought to himself as he pulled on his
shoes. "I got to see the whole swim team naked and it didn't do a thing
for me. I'm not turned on at all. This was stupid. I got to get back to
my own body."
He hurried to the exit and then froze in panic as he saw Josh and his
other friends at the entrance of the boys' locker room.
"Oh my God! If they see me like this I am dead. They'll never let me
live this down." Eric started heading towards the front entrance to the
locker room when he saw that they were beating someone up.
"Cool! They're kicking the crap out of John, that little faggot. God I
wish I was over there." Eric watched as Josh and Ron beat the crap out
of John, while Mike and Ted watched.
"Kick his ass Josh." Eric thought watching. "Look at Josh go, he's
amazing. I never realized how fast he is... and strong. He's really
giving it to John. Josh is fantastic, I wonder what it would be like,
if he held me in those arms." Eric thought longingly as he looked on at
Josh. "Oh my God, what the hell am I thinking?" He thought as he
realized that he was just beginning to fantasize about his best friend.
Eric was about to turn to leave, when he saw the figure of a girl come
out of no where and within seconds she had knocked all four of the
football player unconscious.
"Holy Shit!" Eric thought as he recognized the girl he had seen Matt
turn himself into. "That freak Matt must have used the machine to make
himself into some type of super strong chick. Well, wait till they see
what I can do."
Eric took off running as fast as he could, his enormous breasts
bouncing madly up and down in protest as he ran to the front of the
boys' locker room.
John and Matt were walking from the parking lot. "Hurry up! We're going
to miss Joanna Wilson." Matt said excitedly.
They turned the corner by the front entrance of the boys' locker room
and both stared at a large breasted blond girl running to the front
entrance.
"Isn't that Shannon Bailey?" John said looking as the girl caught sight
of them and seemed to panic.
"Yeah, it sure is." Matt said looking as her breasts jiggling insanely
as she ran up the stairs.
She turned and started yelling at them. "I don't know how you got here
so fast, but in one minute I am going to kick both your sorry asses."
She screamed as she ran in the front of the locker room.
"Huh?" Matt said turning to John. "I wonder what Linda ever did to
Shannon to make her so mad?"
"I don't know."
"Come on." Matt said remembering. "Joanna awaits."
Linda, supported by Faith, walked into the locker room. She groaned as
Faith helped her to a bench.
"Are you going to be alright?" Faith asked, obvious concern in her
voice.
"I'll be okay." Linda said catching her breath.
"I swear when I see Eric, I am going to kick the crap out of him. Will
you be alright?"
"Yes." Linda said gently rubbing her ribs.
Faith had just walked to one end of the lockers, when she saw an
attractive blond girl race in and stop in front of the weight training
room door. She saw Faith as she opened the door. Pausing momentarily in
surprise, she looked at Faith.
"How many are there of you?" She said.
"Huh?" Faith said in surprise at the frantic behavior of the girl.
"Well, in thirty seconds I'll take on all of you! I kick all your sorry
asses." She said slamming the door.
"Oh my God!" Linda shouted, hobbling quickly towards the door. "That's
Eric!"
"Oh shit!" Faith said running to the heavy metal door to the weight
room. She tried the doorknob, but it was locked. She instantly threw
her shoulder up against the door, but it didn't move.
"Eric, listen to me. It's Linda." She called out in John's voice.
"Please let us explain what happened."
A blood-curdling scream sounded from the other side of the door.
Faith stepped back and snap kicked the metal door, which flew off its
hinges and flew across the room. Faith rushed in, but then stopped and
stared. "No." She whispered.
Linda limped in behind her and stared at the girl she recognized as
Shannon Bailey. She was frantically looking at the display panel that
just flashed alien symbols, but which failed to respond to any of the
commands the girl was using on it.
"Oh my God!" The girl moaned frantically moving her hand over all the
controls. "It's not working. It has to work! I can't stay like this!
I'm the captain of the football team!" She said nearly hysterical. "I
don't want to be like this."

"No. I have to do this. John and I talked this over and we think this
is the best. Mom and Dad are already close to a nervous breakdown with
you and Dan disappearing as it is, and if I..." She hesitated. "I mean
John, were to go missing too, I don't know what would happen to them."
"I had a talk with John too, and I told him what would happen to him if
he let them find out that he wasn't really their daughter."
"Don't worry, he understands what's at stake. And he feels terrible
over what's happened... and I think he really likes me, so he, I mean
she, won't let them know."
"I guess. I just wish I could be here with you."
"I'll be fine." She said. "It is kind of weird living with John's
parents, but I'll get used to it. They seem nice enough. How are you
going to handle your new roommate."
"Michelle?" Faith said shrugging. "It's part of the deal. The Agency
couldn't send her back to live with her parents, without having to
explain how their son Matt is now a girl."
"I know that, but how is it?"
"I was just getting used to seeing th
