Before Alfonso had a chance to decide on what or who to test it on, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. Alfonso got up to unlock the door opened and let in his mother, Julia, who was looking stressed as usual. She had a laundry basket in one hand and was collecting Alfonso's dirty laundry with her other hand. Julia was 40 years old by now and felt like the best years of her life were behind her.
"What are you doing locked up in your room?" She asked trying to look happy. Alfonso knew his mother hadn't been happy for a long time. Alfonso's father worked late hours at work so much that Julia rarely saw him anymore. Meanwhile, his brother, Miguel, was good at school but bad at doing other work around the house that his mother usually asked him to do, but she had to do it herself.
"Mom, is there anything you really wanted to be when you were my age?" Alfonso asked his mother trying to make it sound like a normal question.
"Oh, well...I suppose I wanted to be a lot of things when I was growing up, an explorer, a doctor, a nurse, a teacher, or just for fun, I would pretend I was an animal. But I think one of my favorite things was imagining that I was a princess and that one day I would be carried off by a handsome prince. Oh, but that's just silly imagination." Julia said as she left Alfonso's bedroom and headed to the laundry room.
Alfonso decided he would give his mother a break and change her into something or someone else and after a little bit of thinking, he had the perfect idea of what she could become. He set the screen and options button on the Transformation Raygun then headed over to the laundry room to use the device on his mother.
"Mom, why don't we play pretend for a little bit? You close your eyes and I'll turn you into something else." Alfonso suggested.
"Well, okay, I guess I can play for a while." Julia said as she closed her eyes. As she closed her eyes, she wouldn't be able to see Alfonso using the Transformation Raygun on her.
