Jeff stared at Allison, completely confused. Just a few minutes ago he was a 15 year old boy and she was his 38 year old mother. Or were they? He was no longer certain. Suddenly his head started to hurt as his brain adjusted to the new reality. In a matter of a few seconds the first fifteen years of his life were rewritten, followed by twenty-five years of new memories. As the pain quickly subsided, he looked again at Allison. “Are you OK” his daughter asked him, her voice showing concern.
Jeffrey shook his head. “I’m alright, Ally. It’s only a headache. Why did you ask?”
“You called me ‘Mom’” Ally said.
“I did?” Jeffrey’s face was nearly red from embarrassment. Why would he say that? Ally’s face had a strong resemblance to his mother. “I must’ve been working too hard. Speaking of which, don’t you have homework to do?”
Ally made a slight grimace. “Yeah, Dad”
As Ally turned around, she heard her father speak in a stronger tone. “What did you say, young lady?”
Eager to get away from her father, Ally faced him again. “Yes, Dad” she corrected herself.
Satisfied, Jeffrey waved his hand. As he saw Ally quickly go down the hall, he then went in the opposite direction towards the living room.
As he sat on his couch and looked over the mail, he had a nagging feeling something is not right.

Ally headed for her old bedroom until she remembered that she was no longer the parent of the house. She headed for Jeff’s old room on the other side of the hallway. She opened the door and stepped in it. The large table and the computer on it were the only things that were unchanged. Everything else indicated this was the room of a teenage girl. She noticed an opened package lying on the unmade bed. She picked it up and looked at the label. It was the package the program came in, but the name ALLISON WILSON was emblazoned on it.
Ally tossed the package, closed and locked the door, and then gave a soft scream of delight. It worked better than she hoped for. She wanted a break from being a single mother, so she programmed the computer to change her and her son Jeff’s ages to 17 and 40, respectively. This automatically flipped their parent-child relationship. And while her ‘Dad’ was in the bathroom, she used the program to adjust his memories while leaving hers intact. That’s why he so readily accepted her being daughter. As far as he was concerned, she always was.
Ally went back to her computer and opened the Chronivac program. She pulled out the current transformation file. She initially set the duration for one hour, just in case the transformation didn’t turn out as she intended it. She grinned as she with just a few keystrokes changed the duration to permanent. She could change the two back any time she wanted.
After saving the changes Ally started to take off her clothes, leaving her wearing only a bra and panties. She went to her dresser and looked at her adolescent body in the mirror. She had forgotten how beautiful she was … and is. An idea came to her. She went back to the computer and prepared for a new transformation.
