It wasn't until the next morning that Tiffany got a response. She opened up her e-mail and read the message.
Dear Customer,
Thank you for taking the time to experiment with our product. According to what you have told us, the reason that your program's trial run has ended, is because you are not the original user. Only the person who dowloaded it first can use it indefinetly. You must return to the orginal user's computer, and restore him or her, otherwise, you will only have a trial run period on each computer you use.
Thank you again for chosing Reality x products.
"Okay," Tiffany said, "I've just got to get over to Jacob's house, and use that computer. But what's my story going to be? If Jacob's not there, then why am I going over? Maybe I'll luck out and his parents won't be home."
She needed to get dressed first. She remembered that the skirt that she wore when she was a thirty year old woman was longer and more comfortable, but the skirt she was wearing as a sixteen-year-old was too small. The shorts were the same length and tightness, but at least no one could see her underwear when she bent over. She grabbed a white tank top, almost forget her purse, and ran into the kitchen. Her parents were there. "Um, can I borrow the car?"
"Okay," her father said, "But make sure you're home before five. Your mother and I need to use it."
"Thanks," she grabbed the keys and jumped into the car. "I just hope things go this well when I get there."
