Connor was shocked with how fast things moved. When Suzy's father said they were in the process of submitting the paperwork, he was serious. They were officially married before the end of the week, and He and Suzy barely had time to get to know each other. All the conversations had to do with one thing.
"I can't believe we are going through with it." Suzy stated.
"I know but your dad walked us through the math." Connor replied. "It really is cheaper this way." Though that wasn't the whole reason Connor decided to go through with the merger. It was what his mom said about them being both of their children. It had been a long time since Connor had a father and he wanted that again.
He knew his friend Mark had bonded well with his step dad without fusing with anyone, but Connor got the idea in his head that something about this fusion would give him a bond he needed. Then again Connor was 16 so he could be wrong and making a irreversible life decision, but if this went bad at least he could blame the parents.
Suzy sighed. "This isn't exactly what I had planned for this week. She continued. While Suzy did agree, she never said why. Connor figured if she didn't tell him he'd 'remember' why after the fusion. "I told my friends and they want a video of it."
"Can we record it?" Connor asked.
"Well you and I will be going into tanks, and we won't be visible but someone outside can film us go in and out. My friend Amber did that. She's Carlos now." Suzy thought about it for a moment.
Connor briefly thought how it would be weird to have 16 years of female memories in his head. Maybe he could ask Carlos for advice on that.
"Kids, we need to head off to the appointment." Connors mom called them. As mentioned earlier, things were moving fast. They were quickly put in the car and headed to Fusion Technologies for their procedure.
They were given a room to prepare, which in this case meant strip and put on bathrobes. Connor hesitated, too shy to undress in front of a girl.
"You know soon I'm going to have every memory of you seeing yourself naked so we might as well get over it." Suzy spoke with a flush face showing she didn't fully believe what she was saying. Either way they got through it with the least amount of awkwardness they could muster.
They both stood in bashful shyness while looking at the device. There were three tubes. The ones on the end were open for them to step in. There were a series of wires and small tunes connecting them to the center which was closed. As Suzy had mentioned, you could not see inside them when they were closed.
A technician walked in reading the files with the newly weds following her. "So everything here is filled out except one. Do you want the new you to be a boy or girl?
"Boy." Connor said at the same time Suzy replied with "Girl."
They looked at each other. "Hiw about I give you a minute to discuss it with each other.
She awkwardly backed out. "What made you assume I wanted to be a boy?"
"You mentioned how Amber became Carlos three times. I figured you were following his lead." Connor told her.
"I also mentioned how I could get a cheerleading scholarship, which is less likely as a guy. Sorry, I know there a male cheerleaders but it's true. "
"Well there are other opportunities." Connor thought quickly. What would appeal to a girl? "Easier time in the bathroom, stronger muscles so we could try to put your athleticism to a better paying sport, and...uh...no periods. "
"Well, that is tempting." She told him. "But I'm rather attached to cheerleading, and I'll bring up the fact that unless you are secretly gay, we will end up as bisexual, since we mixing our interests. I figure most guys would prefer girl on girl as their option. Also cheerleading pays just fine thank you very much. Also I'd like to mention if we were to be a girl you would have these." She used her arms that were crossed under her chest to lift her impressive rack.
All good points Connor thought.
"So what will it be Connor? Boy or girl?"
