Things were getting hot and heavy between Steve and Beck when they heard a pronounced throat-clearing coming from the door.
"OK, boys, I don't want to break up your fun, but a few rules here. Clothes stay on, door stays open. I'm still your mother, 'Beck.'"
"Oh, Mom!"
Sherry held up the Chronivac emitter. "If you can't handle that new body and sexuality responsibly, want me to press the undo button and make you a girl again?"
"No!"
"Well, alright then. Steve, I expect you to behave responsibly when you're here as well."
"Yes, Mrs. Upton."
Just then there was another knock on the front door. Sherry gave a final "Remember, door wide open." to Steve and Beck and then went to answer it.
It was Jeff's ex-girlfriend Jenn. "Hi, Mrs. Upton, is Jeff around?"
"No, he isn't. Would you like to give him a message?" Sherry realized that her eyes were drinking in Jenn's lovely sixteen-year-old body. She looked at Jenn's face, and realized that the young girl was grinning and looking at the back of Sherry's left hand.
"That's a nice tatoo, Mrs. Upton. Did you know it's called a labrys?"
"I'm glad you like it, Jenn. No, I didn't know that."
"I like your new haircut, too. So you've finally crossed that big river in Egypt?"
"What?"
"Da Nile. Mrs. Upton, you've been setting off my gaydar for as long as I've known you. Didn't Jeff tell you why we broke up?"
"No."
"Jeff's a nice guy, I just decided guys weren't what I was into. Seriously, though, you make a fabulous dyke. If you weren't twice my age I'd be all over you."
"You mean that?"
"Of course."
"Jenn, do you know what a Chronivac is?"
"A computer change-o thingy?"
"Yes, basically. Come on in."
Sherry brought Jenn to Beth's old room, where Jessie was watching a Disney Mermaid video. "Jessie, you remember Jenn, don't you?"
"Hi Jenn."
"Hello, Jessie." Jenn replied. "I don't remember you, though."
"I used to be Jeff." Jessie answered.
"Jeff decided he wanted to be an eight-year-old girl, so he's Jessie now." Sherry explained. She took Jenn to the room with the Chronivac and the two boys.
"Steve?" Jenn asked. "Looks like you hit the jackpot this time. Oh, don't tell me, you used to be Beth, right?" she asked the mysterious man holding Steve's hand.
"Beck, now." he replied.
"Now." Sherry said, sitting down at the computer. "About that age thing?" She pressed enter, and the years began to fall off. Face smoothed, breasts firm and high, hair a lustrous blonde without a trace of grey. She smiled at Jenn. "Double date?"
