Chloe started setting up their change. She pulled up both hers and Angie's profile and set their age to be 20, same as Vanessa. For advanced options she added in reality change, but made sure they were still aware. Also, she added a timer, in one hour, no, maybe a bit longer, in two hours they'd change back, not only Chloe and Angie, but Vanessa too. While Chloe maneuvered the Chronivac menus, Angie watched, impressed by how quickly Chloe seemed to be getting this. Angie was barely keeping up.
"Ready to grow up?" Chloe asked.
"Yeah!" Angie was excited.
Chloe pressed apply. Immediately, the girls felt something. Their bodies were stretching, changing. They both gained height. Chloe, already a tall kid looked to be developing into a tall teenager, soon a tall adult. She kept her slim athletic build.
Angie had kind of chubby cheeks, the type kids sometimes has, and as she grew older, she kept her chubby cheeks, giving her a round innocent face. As she sped through puberty, it changed her body in some more immediately noticeable ways compared to Chloe. Her new boobs grew to an impressive size. A bra materialized, giving her now much needed support. She gained a curvy body, though currently concealed by her fluffy sweater.
As the changes finished up, Angie's room shifted too. It remained her room, even as a 20 year old, but it adapted to the new Angie. Makeup appeared. It became a little messier, some clothes and bags strewn about. Her large collection of stuffed animals didn't change, in fact it gained a few new members. The room was different, but maybe less than one would expect.
Chloe had ended up as a kind of tomboyish young adult wearing simple casual clothes. Her hair was mid length and a little messy.
Angie had slid a hand under her sweater, curious about this all, she touched her boobs. It was an alien feeling, experiencing such a drastic difference. A little lost in her own thoughts for a few moments as she looked over herself and prodded herself. She then noticed Chloe's new self. "Wow, you're cool," Angie exclaimed.
"Thanks?" Chloe said, not really sure if she should be happy or not with "cool". She wasn't quite sure what to think of her new self, like she felt less different than she'd expected in a way. She looked at Angie, her change being, well, more apparent at least as she glanced at her chest. "You're pretty."
"Thanks!" Angie beamed. "Are we going to Vanessa now?"
"Yeah, we can go." Chloe replied.
The two now adult women walked down the stairs. "Wait," Angie whispered. "We have to sneak by Mom, right? Since we're like, um this?"
"No," Chloe had to explain this again. "She should think this is all normal."
"Oh," Angie giggled. As soon as she entered the living room, she yelled out, "Hey Mom! Hey!"
Angie's mom put down her Kindle again. "What is it?"
Angie walked right in front of her mom, smiled and laughed, "Oh nothing, nothing going on, hihi, um, Chloe and I are leaving so, um bye!"
"Have fun?" her mom replied, slightly befuddled.
The two women then left for where Vanessa is. As Angie walked, she played between how much weight she put on each step, constantly changing up her gait, skipping occasionally. Chloe watched her friend. She wasn't a very believable adult. It made her self-aware too. Did she move like a proper adult? Though, it's not like anyone is going to bust them. Even if they mess up anything, this will only be memories in a couple of hours.
They arrived at the apartment complex where this Evan guy and Vanessa was supposed to be. "Let's see," Chloe had made a note of the address. "A5..." she rang the bell. A moment later, a male voice came from the speaker, "Who is this?"
"It's Chloe," she cautiously said, and Angie joined in too, "It's me Angie!"
They heard some muffled sounds from the speaker. "Nessa! Do you know Chloe or Angie?" A female voice replied, "What did you say?" Then, they heard nothing for a while until they heard the female voice again, "Uh, come in." The door opened. Chloe and Angie entered, then they took the elevator up.
They arrived at the apartment door and knocked on it. The door opened, and they were greeted by, um, Vanessa? "Hey guys, it's been a while."
"Um," Angie and Chloe were too taken aback to properly speak. It was Vanessa, but she'd had a, well fashion change since she last disappeared from Angie's house. Her hair was pulled up in messy dreads. She had a nose ring, tattoos, a lot of tattoos, many doodled-looking ones.
"Hey Vanessa," Angie was the first of the two to speak. After the initial shock, she was very happy to see her friend again. She didn't quite understand what's up with her new style. What's important is that it's her best friend. She went for a hug.
"Wow," Vanessa was a little startled, but accepted the hug.
A tall skinny man appeared behind Vanessa. He also had dreads. "Hey," he greeted.
Angie noticed this man and released the hug. "Are you Evan? Are you Vanessa's boyfriend?" She was excited.
"Yeah," he replied nonchalantly. "I'm Vanessa's boyfriend."
Angie looked at Evan, then back to Vanessa, then back to Evan, and repeated for a few times. "You guys are matching!" She said as if she'd pointed out something amazing.
"I guess," Vanessa shrugged and chuckled. "But come on in," she led the two girls in to the apartment. "Get a seat."
Angie saw a bean bag and immediately sat down on it. She moved around and shifted, digging herself down into the bean bag with a smile. Chloe sat down on the coach.
"So, why are you guys here?" Vanessa asked.
Chloe answered, "We just wanted to see you."
"Hmm." Vanessa paused. "I was surprised. You guys just suddenly showing up with no warning or message," she laughed, "but, like don't get me wrong, I like seeing you guys again, it's nice to see you two again."
"Nessa, Who are these girls?" Evan asked.
"Yeah," Vanessa laughed. "We were friends, like best friend back in school. we hanged out all the time until like high school was it?" she looked at Angie and Chloe for confirmation.
"Yes, that's right," Chloe replied, trying to fit in.
Angie had a different approach, "No, we're best friends, and we're going to always be best friends."
Vanessa laughed, then she paused, looking wistful as she stared up at the dreamcatchers hanging from the roof. "I guess we're always going to be friends in a way."
"You girls want anything to drink? A beer?" Evan asked.
"Get me one," Vanessa said.
"Me too!" Angie said, very excited.
Evan looked at the last girl. "Um, no thanks," Chloe said.
Evan got three beers out of the fridge. He threw one to Vanessa, then one to Angie. He kept the last one for himself. Angie excitedly opened the can. Her first beer. She took a little sip. Eww. That didn't taste good at all. It tasted like bitter bread. She put the beer aside for now.
