Shea knew that showing O how the camera worked might've been a mistake. After all, when they found the magic box Shea had even turned her mother into a teenaged guy! But she felt that O deserved an answer to why she had been weird about all of this. She lifted the camera and aimed it towards O when O screamed "No!"
"Wait girl! I look awful today! Even if this thing is magic or whatever can't we try it on you?" O asked.
Shea sighed. Sometimes O was too crazy about her looks. Shea aimed the camera towards herself and hit the button. In a flash, reality began to alter. She felt herself grow a little taller as her curly brown hair grew longer and redder. Her hips and breasts grew as her stomach also gained a bit of pudge. Her clothes shifted into mom jeans and a nice top to match.
Shea picked up the photo the camera had produced and saw what looked like a much older version of herself. Hell, she could pass for her mother's older sister. She turned at O triumphantly and was about to say "I told you so" when she noticed that O didn't look impressed at all.
"Well Mrs. Conners, I don't see anything changed. I guess I was right." She announced proudly. She snatched the camera, switched the awareness back thinking it was an off switch, and walked out of the room.
Shea was totally confused. What was Mrs. Conners about? Why wasn't O aware? She quickly realized her mistake, and she had made it so that only the camera operator and recipient were aware. Since she took a selfie, that meant her and only herself was aware. She looked at her old hands and noticed a wedding ring. Glancing over at the wall, she spotted a wedding picture of herself in a wedding dress close to her real age next to a hunk in a tux. Shea was now a married woman and her mom's house was now hers.
Shea snapped out of her trance as she realized O had walked off with the camera and had reset the awareness! If O had changed anything else, then Emily wouldn't be aware! She had to get it back and try to get things back to normal. She saw a flash go off down the hall and rushed down. Not that anyone could tell what changed, but who had changed?
