It wasn't difficult at all to lure Connor over to Katie's house during the weekend, especially with the promise of Jazz being there as well. Being alone with two hotties, both of whom inexplicably loved the nerds? Connor felt like he had won the lottery of life.
When he arrived, he noticed immediately that Jazz was fully made up and dressed to impress, wearing a denim mini skirt and the striped black and white top that he had complimented her on once. It was almost like she was dressed to go on a date instead of a casual gaming sesh that he had been promised. It seemed weird, but the slightly tubby nerd went along with it. Who was Connor to look a gift horse in the mouth?
The three friends played Warhammer 40k in Katie's family dining room for few hours, the three teenagers enjoying themselves immensely as they immersed themselves in their private fantasy world, although halfway through, Connor realized that he wasn't imagining things, Jazz WAS flirting with him.
What the hell was going on? Jasmine was a known lesbian. Was she just fooling around with him the way that friends do, or was she actually interested in him?
After they decided to put a pin in the campaign and save it for next week(Or maybe even tomorrow), Katie mentioned that she had just bought a new piece of computer equipment and wanted Connor to take a looksie at it.
Connor also found this a bit strange, as Katie was very tech savvy, more so than even most of the guys were.
The three of them entered Katie's room, and the brunette blue eyed cheerleader showed Connor the Chronivac.
"Ta da!"
"What is it?" Connor asked as he and Jazz sat down on the edge of Katie's soft bed, Jazz's soft hand enveloping his.
Katie explained what the Chronivac was to a skeptical Connor, that she used to be a boy named John and Jazz used to a boy named Milton. After Connor refused to believe it, Katie proved it by transforming a stuffed lion plushie into a stuffed zebra right before the nerd's very eyes.
Jazz watched Connor's expression of bewilderment and fear cross over his acne ridden face, emotions which she herself had felt herself a little over a month ago. Jazz had accepted and had even grown to enjoy her new life, but it had *always* bothered her that Katie had such power. The thought of Katie one day abusing that power crossed her mind all the time, but she was too meek to really do anything about it.
Fortunately for both of them, one thing that Connor McShea was not, was meek. He consistently stood up for himself and his friends from bullies and others trying to take advantage of him.
As Katie made her sales pitch to Connor, that the Chronivac can change reality itself, that Jazz really needed a girlfriend, and that he seemed to enjoy being a girl while gaming, Jazz watched as Connor's expression changed from confusion to no small amount of anger. He pulled Jazz's hand away from him.
"So this was all a trick. You...you two honeypotted me."
"No, it's not like that!" Jazz yelled, trying to touch Connor's shoulder in a friendly way that he shrugged off.
"Listen" Connor explained to both of them as he walked over by Katie's bedroom window, just out of reach of the Chronivac emitter's reach, "I do have a fetish for role-playing as female characters, but that doesn't mean that I want to be a chick in real life! I like who I am. I'm cool if you two want to be hot girls, that's your prerogative, but it's not for me."
Jazz looked sad, her lipstick clad mouth quivering. Even now as an almost objectively attractive woman, she was still being rejected. That hurt.
"Listen" Connor suggested to both girls. "If Jasmine really needs a girlfriend, why not get rid of one of the asshole bullies at school?"
"What?" Katie and Jazz asked simultaneously.
"Seduce one of the bullies at school that make everyone's lives miserable, have them come over here, and shoot them with that crazy beam into a cute little girlfriend for Jazz here."
Katie and Jazz stared at one another.
"Why didn't we think of that?" Katie asked.
