Alan looked at his mother, "Well, this is gonna sound mean, but can I be a strong, attractive man and go out for the night?"
Janet's face contorted in confusion, "Why would you want that?" she asked feeling that her support is being rejected.
"Because the only person who's been hurt by the magical gifts we've gotten is me! Megan and I stopped you when you and dad were fighting over the magical book. We've always been pretty good kids. Since Megan figured out how to get us fixed. I have been turned into a female dog, infantized and gender-swapped for humiliations sake, because I wanted to go on a date. And I've been aged, gender-swapped and sexually assaulted by my father, because the clock was off by an hour. Mind you, this is all after being aged and gender swapped on vacation. Its one thing when a magical book is messing with my whole family, its another thing entirely when my family is doing this to me. I'm violated, confused, angry, hurt, I don't trust you, and I don't want to be in this house tonight!"
A singular hot tear streamed down Alan's expressionless face belying the turmoil inside. For the first time Janet realized that as parents they were relying entirely on their magic to strong arm their children into submission. In days they were destroying the years they had spent building familial trust and respect. Their family had become a dictatorship and it was mostly her doing, she set the precedence of using magic for punishment and then made her husband do the same.
"Oh my God, Honey you're right, I'm so sorry. We were wrong. Set yourself up, I'll call it back if I need it." She pulled off her bracelet and handed it to Alan beginning to tear up herself. "You blow off steam, sort things out, but you come back home safe and sound, you hear me?" she hugged Alan tightly and kissed him on the cheek. As she left she turned back, "Your father and I will discuss our use of magic on one another, after all, like you said, the only people we can really hurt with this is each-other. The rest of the world doesn't realize." With that she left.
Alan quietly went out the back door as a discussion started up between his parents. Steve was expecting a much warmer welcome given the passionate reception he received earlier. He was confused and disappointed when Janet came in hysterical. Alan weaved around the garage and made his way to the driveway. He summoned his magic pad and crossed out his standing rule that his parents be notified if he or his sister go over their uses. He also wrote down that anyone who looks at the pad besides him or those he lets use it, will see illegible writing.
He wrote down, "I can access the new memories that come with any new form I take, and I may choose to access the personality as well."
With that he grabbed the bracelet on his wrist which had become a braided leather band from the girly bangles they were when his mother wore it. "At least you know I'm a guy." he muttered to the bracelet...
A few minutes, some bracelet uses, and some scribbled notes later he had a new identity and was on his way... but who did he become and what was he going to do?
