“Zoey” is pacing up and down in front of the shed, ‘where is he,’ she thinks to herself.
“Zoey, I’ve got it,” Riley’s voice suddenly is heard from behind her.
The “girl” turns around to see Riley walking up to her, holding the device in his hand. “Zoey” can’t believe it, she is so happy that she almost squeals but fights the urge. “Riley, you are a life’s savior,” she says with a huge smile.
Riley, holds out the device, “I am glad I could help,” he says.
“I… I can’t take it,” Zoey says.
Riley gives her a confused look, “why not?”
“Because, John used it on me,” she explains, “that thing has huge powers, he somehow edited something in my stats which enables me from touching the device.”
Riley looks at the device, “are you bullshitting me,” he asks, “you are trying to make me believe that this… phone… has some alien powers?”
“Zoey” shakes her head, “I can’t tell you what it really is, it is not a phone,” the girl says, “John also used it to control me, I am unable to tell anyone the truth.”
Riley looks at the “girl”, then at the device, then back at “Zoey”, “okay…,” he simply says.
“Zoey” can tell by the tone in the boy’s voice that he does not believe her, she sighs, “look Riley, I am really telling you the truth,” she says. ‘This might be a big mistake, but I need him to believe me,’ she thinks to herself. “Is the device on,” she asks, Riley shakes his head, “then turn it on, there is a power button on the side.”
Riley does as told, “strange phone, the screen is green and it shows your and my name,” he says.
“Those are called “profiles”,” she explains, “the device scans anyone nearby and since we are the only ones here, it only shows our profiles.”
“Okay, what does this proof,” Riley asks.
“Click on your name and it should open your stats,” “Zoey” says.
Riley does as told and opens his stats:

“Zoey” sees his eyes widen, “this… this is impossible,” the boy whispers, “this thing knows everything about me: my eye color, hair color, my age, my sexual orientation… .” He looks at the “girl”, “this thing is dangerous,” he says.
“Zoey” nods, “that is why I don’t want it in the wrong hands,” she says.
“So, if I’d change my age from 14 to 10… I’d become… .”
“A 10-year-old boy, yes,” “Zoey” says.
“And… if I’d change my gender to female… .”
“You’d become a girl,” the “girl” says.
‘If this thing really can do all of this, I got to have it,’ the boy thinks to himself, ‘but, I have to know what it’s true power is.’ Riley, closes his profile and opens “Zoey’s”:
Name: Zoey Hill
Race: Caucasian
Age: 18
Height: 5'3''
Body: slim
Cup Size: b-cup
Hair Color: blond
Hair Length: middle of back, pony tail
Skin Color: white

Knowledge Of The Chronivac: yes
Awareness: on
Looking through it, he notices her age, ‘she is really 18,’ he thinks to himself, ‘so she was telling the truth, but I think 14 would suit her body size better,’ so Riley changes “Zoey’s” age to 14. He then scrolls down and notices a tab called “awareness” next to it, it says “on”, and a other tab with “knowledge of the Chronivac” also with a “on”. ‘So, this thing is called a “Chronivac”, I should change her awareness and also make her forget about this thing,’ he thinks, smirking inwardly, ‘with this I’ll finally be able to get Zoey as my girlfriend, I’ll make sure she’ll forget about that guy Kiyoshi.’ The boy then changes “Zoey’s” relationship status from “single” to “single and searching”, then he turns her awareness off and does the same with her knowledge of the device. Riley then opens his profile again and turns his awareness and knowledge of the Chronivac on. After checking the edits, the boy nods and hits “save”, he looks up at Zoey, who is just standing there, looking at him, “what is it, Zoey,” he asks.
“You wanted to see me,” the “girl” says, “I asked why you wanted to see me, and you haven’t answered yet.”
Riley’s eyes widen, “um, s-sorry I was j-just sending a me-message to my mom,” he lies, “b-but … y-yeah, I wanted to ask y-you something… but I need to be sure of one thing,” he then says.
“And what is that?”
“Um… h-how old are you,” he asks, “I am k-kind of forgetful.”
“I am 14,” the “girl” says, “everyone knows that.” John blinks mentally, ‘wait, wh-what… I am not 14 I am…,’ he thinks to himself, but try as he might, he seems to not remember his age, ‘one part of me tells me that I AM really just 14 but the other part says I am much older. Something is not right.’
‘Sh-shit this thing really works,’ Riley thinks to himself, “I just wanted to be sure, because… I… um… well… um…,” he says, rubbing the back of his head nervously.
‘Riley is such a shy boy,’ “Zoey” thinks to herself, ‘it’s actually kinda cute.’ The “girl” blinks, ‘wait, what am I thinking? I am a boy, not a girl, so why would I think Riley is cute,’ she asks herself, ‘something is DEFENTLY NOT right, but I can’t figure out what.’ “No need to be shy, Riley,” “Zoey” says with a smile, “just ask.”
“Um… w-would you like to g-go out with me,” the boy asks, Riley is of course unaware that the person in front of him is not the real “Zoey”.
“Zoey” feels herself smiling, ‘sorry Riley, but I can’t go out with you,’ is what “her” mind says, but as the “girl” opens her mouth she says, “I’d love to go out with you, Riley.”
Riley’s eyes widen and he smiles, “re-really?”
“Zoey” nods, “why yes,” she says, “I actually was hoping you’d ask me, because I think you are a handsome boy,” she adds with a little blush.
Riley blushes slightly at the compliment, “th-thanks,” he says, “a-and I think you are th-the mo-most prettiest girl in the whole school.”
“Aaaw… you are so sweet,” “Zoey” says, her mind continues to become more and more confused. ‘What is happening to me,’ John thinks to himself, ‘wh-why am I all of a sudden becoming so flirty with Riley?!’
“W-would you like to go to the movies on Friday,” Riley asks, “we could head out f-for something to eat… after.”
“Zoey” smiles, “sounds nice,” she says, “let’s swap out mobile phone numbers, I’ll send you my address later and you’ll pick me up on Friday at around 8pm?”
Riley nods, “sounds good,” so “Zoey” takes out her phone and gives Riley her number and Riley in return gives the “girl” his number. Both then head back to the next classes, Riley can’t stop smiling, stroking his pocket in which the device is resting, ‘next, I got to make John forget about this thing also,’ he thinks to himself, ‘I’ll have so much fun with this power,’ the boy smirks evilly.
On her way back to her class, “Zoey's” eyes widen and she stops dead as she comes to her senses, “what the hell? Did I really just accepted a date offer from Riley,” she asks herself. After the first shock has settled the little “girl” shrugs, “it is just going to the movies and having something to eat,” she says, and with that the “girl” hurries to her next class which is gymnastics, 'I have a feeling that I have forgotten something important,' she thinks to herself as she enters the girl's changing room.
