"Celeste! Honey!" my mother called from downstairs "Dinner is ready, please come down!" I didn't budge from my bed.
My room was a mess with all the clothes and random junk I kept around scattered throughout the area. I just came home from almost getting caught at a party and watched a lot of my friends get cuffed after testing. I was free to go, I wasn't much of a junkie, but knowing that I could've ended up like them put a bit of a damper on my mood. It was probably a good thing that I wouldn't be able to see those guys again. Just couldn't help but feel bad.
I tried to distract myself by watching Utube videos, but almost as if the night had to get worse an ad would keep repeating itself on all of the videos. Constantly, even after blocking the ad, would this new app called "Deus Ex Machina" would be advertised throughout the video, sometimes eight times midroll. It had such a bland advertisement too, not even showing me what it was for. Eventually, I gave up and thought that if I downloaded the app on my laptop, I would be recognized as a client for the advertisement allowing me to watch my goddamned compilations in peace.
Before I could click on the link to their website, Mom slightly opened the door and said: "Baby... Are you okay? Should I bring chicken up for you?"
I jumped at her voice and breathed a sigh of relief at seeing her. "Oh, yes please. I'm sorry... I'm still processing..."
"It's okay, sweetie. I understand." Mom smiled warmly at me.
I felt a little lump of sadness in my throat, seeing that smile. For one thing, I knew that she'd love me no matter what I did. Another... Well, no matter what I put her through, she would always love me. My blessing was her curse. She gingerly walked down the hallway, closing my door behind her. I sighed and looked down at my laptop screen and found that the app was in fact, already downloaded and installed. It was completely clean too, the anti virus software wasn't spazzing at all.
"Must've clicked it by accident..." I said to myself, opening the app.
The application was pretty easy to set up, I just had to enter some basic information like email address and phone number. It didn't ask for a username either... It was an entirely free program, as far as I could tell. So I signed in using my Amail account and got a buzz from my cellphone. I grabbed it and checked my notifications, finding one entitled "installing 'Deus Ex Machina' finished". I got a little spooked by this, but ultimately shrugged it off as some new software. Though just in case, I ran another scan on it. Clean. Clean across six different scans from different clients too. Probably some advanced software running in the background, but it would be nice to be given a warning. After relaxing for a moment, I found myself staring a GUI detailing my... Everything... My weight, my age, my height, body fat percentage and allocation, muscle density - even my familial relations! Before I was able to do anything, I heard Mom's footsteps coming down the hallway. I quickly shut my laptop land and laid back onto my bed.
"Honey?" Mother peaked through the door
"Hi mom"
"Still hungry?"
I sat up and smiled. "Thanks, mom." I said as she handed the plate of roasted chicken breast and green beans to me.
"Of course, tell me when you need me to clean up. Don't be too hard on yourself, okay?" she said while hugging me "We all make mistakes, I'm just glad yours wasn't permanent."
Her warmth was comforting, and I hugged her back, not letting go for a few minutes. She then departed with a kiss on my forehead and left without a word about the messy room. The thought of never leaving home crossed my mind a little, but I would probably be too much of a burden on her anyways. With that idea of being a burden... The program came back into my mind. I opened the laptop again and examined all of the options for accuracy. 5'8 in height, 121 LB, age 17, C-cup breasts, black hair, brown eyes, 60% German, 20% Anglo, 20% Western Slavic, USA Citizen, current attire: wife beater, PJ pants, Acey's brand bra, etc... Even the seconds of my birth date were recorded somehow.
This was pretty freaky, but also intriguing. What especially piqued my interest was the "edit" tab. I clicked on it to find all of the same options, but in textboxes. I decided to test this on my weight. I typed in "+30" in the LB section, which further expanded between fat and muscle mass percentage distributions. I shrugged, went with 100% fat distribution and it further expanded into a map of my body. There was a "randomize" option, so I clicked that out of annoyance. As soon as that happened, I felt something move all around in my body. A few clicks and gurgling sounds came from me, but not from my mouth and warmth flowed through me. I moved my laptop to the side and ran to my bathroom mirror, feeling an increased jiggling throughout my body. I stepped in front of the mirror and immediately saw what was happening.
My thigh gap quickly collapsed as I felt my thighs rubbing up against each other, my body very quickly became more and more curvaceous. I felt a sharp pain in my back as the straps snapped and I grew at least one cup size. My waist slightly widened and a muffin to started forming; my hips followed suit my I could feel my soft butt touching my originally loose pjs. My limbs, especially my legs, grew in proportion and I became overall... Thicker. I panicked and ran back to my laptop, feeling all of the extra mass jump around. I reversed the order immediately and felt my body grow colder, thinner. I was back to my normal self and I closed the laptop in a little bit of a hurry. I quickly ate my dinner and decided to sleep off today's events. Though in the back of my mind... I knew I was going to use that program tomorrow.
