"Very interesting... You and your sister are both grounded for using my EXPERIMENTAL lab equipment without permission, but this is going to give a lot of data... Along with an interesting question of what will happen to this... guy... gal... thing when we separate her back into her fused people." said Harry's dad.
Harry asked "What do you mean?"
Harry's dad said "Well she doesn't have all the memories of the two so it's possible if we defuse her then Erin and Philip may have amnesia. Along with the fact that there seems to have been some matter loss, unless her body also got denser there isn't enough stuff to make a young adult and a teenager out of."
You asked "Wont separating me kill me though?"
Harry's dad looked at you and said "Depends on what exactly YOU are. If the merge got rid of Erin and Philip then i'd call it a net gain of life to separate you, if you are a combination of their consciousness then you wont die so much as go back to being two people as you are meant to. I'll need to get my doctor friend and some equipment to look at your biology though, along with needing to re-tune the body switching pods to make sure this merging doesn't happen again while trying to copy the glitch to make a body fuser/defuser."
Harry asked "But what will we do? Erin and Philip's lives will continue on an-"
His dad said "Son, You are Philip's best friend and can fill in for his life as you are in his body. We can say that you and Erin are sick. Along with some manipulation from my employer everything will be ok."
You asked "And why should I lis-"
Harry's dad said "We'll give you food and shelter, some clothing, you have nothing not even a name and do you think someone of your size let along biology could sneak around and settle into a life of any stability? You will do what we say as i'm pretty sure your existence is a combination of theirs and by splitting up you will still exist as part of them. Now if you excuse me i've got some calls to make. There is a generic clothing machine over there." he pointed to another pod and continued "Don't bother me, and tell your mother to bring my dinner down here. Where i'll be cleaning up your mess."
You went into the pod which stitched a pair of briefs and panties onto your form first, then a pair of white pants and a white T-shirt. Very least they fit. Then while Harry went back upstairs you were asked to stay in the lab. There was a lot to see, but like a museum it's owner wanted all the exhibits untouched. At some point a private doctor man came in to do a check up and for sure found that there was not enough mass in you to make up both Erin and Philip, but when he used some of his odd gadgets he found some interesting things about your biology. You seemed to have twice the amount of muscles as a normal person, and your genitalia was what really fascinated him. It was a combination of penis and vagina as the gonads were all set up in place, and the Fallopian tubes also existed inside. He suspected that you could both have a period and ejaculate. Taking a DNA test was a mixed bag. Sometimes there was Erin's XX DNA sometimes Philip's XY DNA and sometimes it was some odd XXXY DNA
The Doctor said "Well Dave this creation really seems to be like if you merged most of a girl with most of a guy. Think either Philip or Erin would mind missing a bit of their body mass... or maybe a Kidney? Potentially neither of them could get back an appendix. If you want them to have more mass i'd suggest they work out a bit and try gaining more muscle. Double the amount of muscles and the benefits probably will increase as well."
Harry's father Dave said "Well Jeff, I found the glitch in the body swap machine so this merging should no longer happen... Then using some parts and pods from some defunct equipment I've used before I managed to make a prototype fuse and defusing machine. I'll try starting with fruit, then different fruit, then small animals, and then small animals of different genders. In the mean time what should we do with... Would you say that thing's more of a guy or a girl?"
The Doctor Jeff said "I mean technically there are more XY DNA than XX DNA but that may just be more of a mass thing." He shrugged and said "I'd guess more male than female, but it still may not be appropriate. Either way so the prototype ready for any kind of test?"
Dave nodded and said "I got three oranges, all about the same as one another as far as I can tell. We'd of course need a lot more tests to draw anything conclusive, but we can start." Dave grabbed the three oranges and then said "So we put one in this chamber on the far left, one in this chamber on the far right. Both oranges being roughly 88 grams. Press the fuse button and both pods will now shut and the scientific magic will begin."
The machine started to rumble a bit and then all three pods opened with the pods on either side containing nothing, and the pod in the middle having a noticeably large orange about double the size of the other oranges just by glancing at it. Dave grabbed the orange and put it on a scale and said "176 grams give or take. No mass seems to have been lost with this one."
Jeff asked "Think it tastes any better?"
Dave said "At this case i'm more concerned about the mass on a defusion, or if defusion will even work." Dave put the giant orange in the middle chamber and pressed the defusion button and saw the machine rumble. On the end pods were two oranges which when weighed were both 88 grams. Dave noted out loud "Fusion of two oranges led to the creation of one orange with the mass and form of the oranges combined. Defusion of said orange led to the creation of two smaller oranges with the same mass and form of the original oranges... Although it's hard to say if they truly are the same oranges." The two science men started to talk and hypothesis a bit leaving the machine just kind of open.
You thought to yourself "If i'm going to be split up why not just split myself up now? Am I going to do this?" you thought for a split second and then came to the conclusion
