When Rick enters his room, he sits down on his bed and takes out his phone, “now, let’s see what the App tells me about Jess,” he says to himself, activating the scanner.
After the scan is complete, Rick opens “Jess’s” file to see the following:
Name: Jess Davis
Species: Human
Race: Caucasian
Gender: Female
Age: 8
Eye color: Brown
Hair style and color: Smooth pony-tail, black
Sexual orientation: N/A
Attracted to: N/A
Siblings: Ashley Davis (older sister), Nathan Davis (younger brother)
School: Elementary school
Memories: remembers being a 16 year-old boy named “Jeff Davis”
Awareness: off
Since Rick’s Chronivac-App is its own program, it does not show that “Jess” is actually Jeff who transformed himself into a little girl for the weekend, Rick’s Chronivac assumes, that the “girl” is in fact a girl and never had been anything else. Rick is surprised to see that Jess’s sexual orientation and attractiveness don’t seem to have developed yet, ‘hm… she seems to not yet think about relationships and seems to not yet figured out what she is attracted to,’ he thinks to himself, the boy then smiles, ‘let’s help her with that,’ so he starts to edit the “girl’s” file, which then reads:
Name: Jess Davis
Species: Human
Race: Caucasian
Gender: Female
Age: 8
Eye color: Brown
Hair style and color: Smooth pony-tail, black
Sexual orientation: straight
Attracted to: athletic and hispanic boys, especially towards Rick Alverez
Siblings: Ashley Davis (older sister), Nathan Davis (younger brother)
School: Elementary School
Memories: met Rick Alverez through her sister Ashley Davis, remembers being a 16 year-old boy named “Jeff Davis”
Awareness: off
Rick does not seem to notice “Jess’s” memory of being a boy, the 10 year-old is simply to excited to finally get a girlfriend, that he just does not register that memory, even as he adds the fake memory to it. With a satisfied smile, Rick saves and confirms the change, ‘now, all I need to do is wait,’ he thinks to himself, ‘she should start to get bored, hanging with the older girls, she’ll most likely ask if she could instead spend some time with me.’
Meanwhile, “Jess” is sitting in Mandy’s room with the other girls when she starts to suddenly feel strange: first the little “girl” felt excited to be aloud in the presence of her sister and friends, even though she is actually a 16 year-old boy, who still has his teenage mind, and like all teenage boys, he felt excited to be in the company of three beautiful girls. Except now, a wave of boredom starts to sweep over the little “girl”, ‘man… this really is not as exciting as I thought it would be,’ “Jess” thinks to herself.
“Jess’s” mind then starts to wonder, and for some reason, she finds herself starting to think about Rick, ‘Rick really is a handsome boy,’ the “girl” thinks to herself, ‘I’d like to get to know him better. Besides, he’s probably more fun to hang out with than with my big sister and her friends.’
The more “Jess” imagines hanging out with Rick, the more she feels a giddiness grow in her, which even causes her to smile a little, ‘I don’t know why, but I just have to get to know him,’ she thinks to herself. “Jess” looks over at her sister, ‘should I tell Ashley, that I’m bored and ask if it would be okay if I’d hang out with Rick instead, or should I just sneak out?’
