As I went home, I considered my options. Before I'd left the store though, the woman who had sold me the watch gave me a small hand-book to go with it, and after studying the handbook, I found it could do much more that alter the ages of others, as long as age altering was at the base of the trasformations.
It could change height, species, race, and it could even be set so that the altered person would keep their memories. If I wanted to, I could make someone a furry, a clown, a mime, an alien, and so many other things in addition to altering their age first. The possibilities were endless.
I thought about using it on _____, my ex-girlfriend who had cheated on me with some hotter dude, but I decided I'd rather go to my girlfriend ______'s place first, and show this to her.
Now my girlfriend ______ was 16, about the same age as me. We had known eachother since we met in Preschool at around 2 years of age. We'd been friends since then, but it was only last year, after my ex had dumped me, that we gradually elevated our status as a romantic relationship.
As far as my girlfriend goes, she's a nice girl. She's the kind of person anyone would be lucky enough to have even as a friend, but she has also been known to have a very naughty and mischevious streak. When we were very small, we always got into trouble together, and one time as a little toddler, she ran around the whole neighborhood naked before her embarassed mother had to catch her.
She was also into furries, along with clowns, cartoons, and other odd things. Her crazy personality and willingness to live freely regaurdless of the consequences she'd suffer was one of the reasons our relationship worked so well, and made us wonder why we hadn't hit it off as a romantic couple much earlier.
I called her on my smart-phone, and told her to meet me at the park. About 15 minutes later, we made contact, and sat next to eachother on the bench.
I then proceeded to tell her all about my new watch and what it could do, but she wanted some proof, so a turned myself into a two-year-old, making sure to set my clothes to adjust to my smaller size as well as opting to keep my memory so that I'd know to change back, which I did immediately.
"This is so cool!" she told me with an excited look on her smiling face "I can think of sooooo many ways we could use this! You could use it on your ex to knock her down to ordering from the kiddie's menu, but make sure she remembers so that she understands her humiliation. The best part would be that only we would remember, right?"
"Oh course." I assured her "I've set it so that no matter what happens, we will both remember everything. I'd like to take you on a fun adventure with this, but it won't be any fun if we don't remember it."
"What about that contact issue?" she asked with a raised eyebrow "You know - the one that states that whoever we want to change has to be touching it? Any ideas who we'll get around that?"
"I'm waaay ahead of you, _____!" I told her with a confident smile "This pocket watch has digital compatibility with smart phones. Following the instructions in the booklet I was given, I've already synced it with my phone, so now if I want to access the advanced options, like oh . . . say . . . using it from a distance, all I need to do is type in the name of the person I'd like it to affect, what way I'd like to affect them, and then hit SEND, and no matter how far away they are, the changes will be applied. Pretty convenient, right?"
"I'll say it is!" my girlfriend replied with a smile "There's so much we could use this for! So many pranks we could pull, and since we'd be the only ones who remember, we'd get away with ANYthing!"
"Indeed, love." I told her with a sly grin "So what shall we do with it first?"
She thought about it for a few seconds before she replied with a devious grin . . .
