Jeff woke as his alarm buzzed 6am. Normally, he groaned and rolled back to sleep, snoozing several times but today would be a kind of turning point in his life so he was ready to get up.
He threw on some deodorant and clean clothes, he went downstairs and checked the time, 6:10... not yet. He made some cereal and began eating, listening for sounds of movement upstairs. By 6:18 he was done with his first bowl and since he didn't hear anything yet, he decided to check on his dad.
Jeff bounded up the stairs, and knocked on the door. "Hey Dad, its Monday morning... Almost 6:30, you moving?"
"I'm so tired... I'll consider moving in 4 hours..." came the reply.
Jeff laughed loudly at this. Oh how the tables have turned. "I know how to fix this, don't worry." Jeff said walking back to his room. With a few clicks his dad was set to be well rested as though he had gotten a full night of sleep and Jeff walk back to the door with the emitter to get it in range. A few moments later Jeff heard movement from in the room.
Jeff went back downstairs after replacing the emitter on its cradle in his room, and finished his breakfast by 6:40. He had 16 minutes before the bus would come and just had to brush his teeth, plenty of time to help sort his dad out... who came bounding down the stairs in PJ's.
"Morning Jeff. How'd you sleep?" Mike asked. "Better than you, apparently." Jeff said with a smirk.
"Yeah, whatever you did really helped, thanks. Apparently I need more than my usual six and a half hours of sleep. I can't function properly off that like when I was in my 40's."
"Not a problem dad. I figured you might have forgotten the train wreck days of your teen years and I was prepared." Jeff gave a warm smile. "As I explained yesterday, my dad still exists, and teen girl you exists in this world. You are expected at both work and school in a little bit, so who's life do you want to live today?" Jeff asked.
Mike's teenage mind pondered before answering, "Neither honestly, right now I want to do something fun, outside the house in this body. I don't want to do high school... maybe never... and I can't go to work like this." Mike pondered for a moment, "We should take the day off" Mike said matter of factly. "Maybe check out a museum or an amusement park."
Jeff was not expecting this turn of events and although taking a ditch day sounded fantastic, things weren't going quite as he planned. "Oh, okay, I just need to brush my teeth." Jeff said heading upstairs.
"Okay, I need to use your program for a few things, then Ill get dressed and we can make the most of the day." Mike replied heading to Jeff's room.
Jeff was uneasy about leaving his dad unsupervised on his computer but what was he going to do, say no?
A few moments later Jeff was walking back from the bathroom with a clean mouth and saw his room straightening itself, the bed made itself, dirty laundry and dishes disappeared. Jeff stepped into his room and smiled a little embarrassed, Dad HAD been harping on him to get his room cleaned up. The air in the room smelled clean and had much less teen boy funk.
"I had to, it smelled in here, And I need you to call us out of school and call me out of work on a sick day."
"Why me?" Jeff asked in a much lower voice than he was used to.
"Because you're currently the only one of the two of us who sounds like they could be a responsible adult and pass as my other form." Mike said with a grin while offering up the phone. "I did the same thing you showed me. It looks like you are technically your own older brother." He said with a coy giggle. "Also, out of curiosity I looked it up, it shows that in my girl form I am your guys' adopted sister. Besides, someone is going to need to be the chaperoning adult while we go out and I figured you might enjoy a taste of being the adult, besides, I made sure to give adult Jeff a very well paying job, so he can bankroll our escapades."
Jeff was a wild mix of emotions, he felt violated that his dad would do this to him without his permission, excited that he's getting permission to be an adult, and weirded out to have his own money and job.
