PING!
Erick groaned. Another text message from Crotch Gridiron. He smirked. Okay, it was Coach Gorton, like the Gorton in the fish stick company. He was an old school American football coach, but he was assigned to coach the soccer team. Erick was a student teacher majoring in Physical Education, and basically, old Gridiron was making Erick coach the team, as well as run person errands. Like today, Coach Gridiron wanted Erick to pick up a package for him at the post office. It meant Erick had to go to the coach's home or to the school to get his parcel receipt and then go to the post office to collect it, and bring it back to him. He looked at the Chronivac. Maybe he could make a new man of the coach? Or better yet, the team? Why not?
The biggest problem with the team is that each kid seemed oblivious to working as a team. Erick had tried some of the textbook team building stuff, but these kids would have none of it. After all he was just a student teacher, and not a real coach. He grinned at his briefcase. It was filled with consent forms. All of the players were consenting to let Erick transform them into a real soccer team, but it was still consent to transform, and the players' parents had also signed the consents. Erick grabbed his briefcase, and the Chronivac, and headed down to his car.
Bruno followed.
"You wanna come too, boy? Sure, Bruno, come on."
At the school, Erick found the receipt pinned to the coach's bulletin board. He wouldn't be able to collect the package until tomorrow, but that wasn't the reason he came to the school tonight. Music blared from the gym. There was a school dance tonight, and most of his players would be there. Erick set up the Chronivac, and set it to scanning mode. Then he took the consent forms from the briefcase, and began typing in the players' names. As the Chronivac detected the named individual, the name would change from white upper and lowercase letters to all yellow uppercase letters on the screen, and a window icon would appear next to the name.

Wait two Henry Lyle Talbots? Is that a glitch? Erick clicked on the window icon after the first Henry's name.
Bing!

Then the list went on detailing the size of each body part, density and distribution of body hair, sexual orientation, submissive/dominant tendencies, IQ, coordination, BMI, and so forth.
He then clicked on the second Henry.

"Hm, I wonder," Erick said reading the permission slips carefully. It seemed as though Henry Lyle Talbot, Sr. and Henry Lyle Talbot, Jr. were both fair game.
Erick decided to start with them.
