As Jayden and Rachel kept playing, they were both fully in the zone now. Then he lost a life, damn. The brief pause let him brush some of his hair out of his eyes. Man, he really needed a haircut, was his hair always this long? Eh, didn't matter. The game was more important. Hell yeah, they beat another level! Now Jayden adjusted his shirt a little, it wasn't fitting right anymore. That's odd, were his pecs always like that? The start of the next level jolted him out of those thoughts and back to the game. A bit more playing, he and his partner made it to the next level. Boss stage was next, and Jayden adjusted his glasses a little right before it.
Meanwhile, it was Rachel's turn to notice something odd. She had set Jayden's ID on the ground besids her before starting the game, and from the corner of her eye she could have sworn it was startinf to change. Unfortunately, this distracted her enough that she lost her last life, but maybe that wasn't such a bag thing. Jayden was still way too into it to stop, so Rachel slowly grabbed the ID to investigate. Yup, it was changing. His face was the most obvious one, now sporting glasses, acne, and much longer hair. Then, his name. It wasn't Jayden anymore, it was Jacqueline.
Ok, this was starting to get really weird. It only got weirder when, before Rachel's eyes, the ID changed again. Under Jayden... Jackie's Sex, the M shifted right into an F. And her clothes changed too. A baggy Nintendo shirt replaced what she had previously. Daring to turn, Rachel saw that the changes weren't limited to just the ID. Jackie now looked exactly like the girl on her ID. The only difference was a black Legend of Zelda shirt instead of the red Nintendo one.
Sounds from the TV confirmed Jackie had gotten a game over. She groaned and put the controller down, turning to Rachel as though she were about to brag about getting farther than she did when she stopped.
"Uh, Rachel, why are you looking at me like that?"
Rachel only offered her ID in response. Jackie looked it over, then looked herself over.
