"Jen. Look at me." Francine replied with a straight face. "Do you realize what this means?" She asked.
"What?" Jenna asked, somewhat surprised with her friend's response.
"We can totally relive the glory days!" She squealed, revealing her stoic expression had simply been a ruse to tease her friend.
"Meaning?" Jenna asked, somewhat relieved but still worried.
"Jen, we can turn ourselves back into college kids!" She laughed. "Go to parties, hook up with hot guys, the works!"
"F-Fran! No, what!" Jenna gasped, before lowering her tone back to a whisper. "Fran we CANNOT do that."
"What do you mean we can't? We have a magic phone or whatever that CAN do it." She retorted with a scoff.
"No I know that, I mean we shouldn't. I have a husband, you have a husband! We have kids! We can't just destroy all of that!" She said.
"Jenna, you said it yourself hon. Nobody will notice a thing is wrong but us. I'm not saying we start life over, I'm saying we change ourselves into, lets say 20 year olds, go to the nearest college, have an amazing consequence free night then turn back." She explained. "If that thing can change anyone, then it'll be a piece of cake to fix."
"I, I still don't know about that Fran." Jenna muttered.
"Come on Jen, I know you love your man, but haven't you ever thought about the glory days? Haven't you ever wished to go back just once and relive it all?" She asked.
"I mean, maybe..." Jenna admitted, blushing heavily.
"My point exactly." Fran smiled. "Come on Jen, what do you say? Ready to get it on." She laughed, brushing her brunette hair to the side before doing a little dance with her waist for emphasis.
Jenna thought for a moment. She knew changing things could lead to some pretty big changes, some unexpected results added on. On the other hand, it would be amazing to have some fun being young again. Plus, Fran was right, reality would change so it's not like anyone would notice or be upset.
Jenna silently loaded a sentence, then reloaded for a few more until a sentence popped up that she could work with.
"Two women in their forties are standing in a mall."
"Okay... if we do this, I'm in charge, got it?" Jenna said. "You're not gonna have the same 'queen bee' attitude you used to have over me."
"Ugh, obviously." Fran sighed. "You're never gonna let me live that down are you? It was ONE orgy."
"And that means if things are going wrong I will not hesitate to turn us back, got it?" She added.
"Sure sure, now hurry up, I'm feeling giddy as a school girl." Fran laughed. "Maybe because I'm about to be one." She joked.
"Good." Jenna said aloud, then thought to herself how maybe this could be the fun, relaxing excursion she needed to make that itch in the back of her mind go away.
"Here we go." Jenna said slowly. Fran eagerly held onto Jenna's arm, watching her friend change "forties" to read "twenties" instead.
Jenna braced as reality changed around them, shutting her eyes tight. When she opened them, she found...
