Levar was delighted to discover that her new smaller, more agile fingers actually made her better at video games, although Jackie still had an edge. After a couple of hours, the girls quit to catch up on what had been going on since they had seen each other last. Jackie was dating an old friend and teammate of Levar's, Charlie, and so far things were going well.
"How 'bout you, Levar? You like boys or girls now, or what?"
"Boys" Levar whispered, blushing fiercely.
"Anyone in particular?" Jackie was grinning.
"It's just that dudes are so, dudes are so scary! I know what guys can be like, and I'm so little now! I never thought about what it was like for girls before all this."
Jackie patted her friend on the shoulder. "Yeah, it's risky. But what are you gonna do? I never wanted to die a virgin." Jackie laughed, and Levar remembered that when they had been dating, Jackie had usually been the one to initiate sex. "Look, I know some good guys. You want me to try to fix you up? We can double date if you'd feel more comfortable."
